Any Magic Halloween Cruisers 2003 out there?

[rae519]

Had to make one last post before I head off to bed with amorous hubby and afterwards, a sleeping pill - I think everything is packed, I hope I have enough of everything (music, video tapes and snacks).....but at least we can stop at WallyWorld if we forget something.

Can't wait to see you all -

Rae, Lilly and Michael

Rae, Have a safe trip! Can't wait to meet you!

Just got done with a ton of ironing. Tomorrow we'll drag the suitcases out of the closet. The guest room is going to be a complete disaster!

Hard to believe it's almost here. Seems like we've been waiting forever! And we've only been booked since May. Others have been booked alot longer!

If there are any others leaving in the next day or so, have a safe trip!
Goodnight,
Tina

Hi All!

I too am not ready, nothing packed. So far behind I may never get done. BUT, I'll be there. I was thinking if we were all nudist we wouldn't have this to do. LOL

Great Amanda! Let me know when you think you'll be arriving.

Dena when do you think you'll be getting to the Radisson?

We'll be there arriving sometime Thursday afternoon, not sure since we're driving down. Ashley and I will be at the Radisson pretty much all day Friday hanging out at by pool, weather permiting. DH is thinking about a fishing excursion for that day.

We'll be driving to the port, DH will drop us off with the baggage then he'll return to the Radisson park the "bus" (Excursion) LOL and get the shuttle to the ship.

I'll be around here till Wednesday night. Keep posting.

Going till then.

Hey everyone!

We spent some time yesterday at Epcot with Karen, Mark and kids. We had a great time. They are the nicest people!!! And they have a great sense of humor. And my DS and DD hung out and talk with their twin boys. Which I was very happy about so hopefully they, (mostly my DS) will have someone to hang with on the cruise.

Ginger: I am planning to get to the Radisson around 4 or 5. How are we going to meet up with everyone? Will we have a specific meeting time and place? Where are we going to do the strawberries? Let me know.

I haven't had much time for this board lately as I am so behind in preparations. Not packed, but have things laid out for one of my kids. I guess I just work best under pressure, at least I hope so!

Do most of you bring your own snorkling gear for Castaway Cay? Trying to decide how many suitcases to take. I worry about where to store the suitcases if we bring too many!

Only one more week - yippee!

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, to all of you on this board for your great advice, your wonderful humor, and the warm friendly atmosphere of this thread. It will be so much fun to meet you in person once we set sail. Carlotta

I sent you a PM and if you send me your e-mail address, I should be able to help you.

Hi Everybody -

Just finished packing and watching the World Series. (Go Yankees!) I still have a few odds and ends to get together but I consider it done. I think that we probably packed too much! It took two days to iron and put everthing together but at least it's finished.

See you all soon!

 

[Zitofamily]

Good job Carole!

You are way ahead of me. I have some things laid out but nothing packed yet! Call me crazy but I think I am actually going to plan on doing laundry at least once onboard. That way I can pack less. I hope I don't regret this decision once I get onboard

Looking forward to meeting you and your family very soon. Ciao for now! Carlotta

Hi Everyone,
We are still here. Will be leaving Thursday morning. We are also driving down.

I think we have everything together. We just need to put it in bags. We got DSs things together tonight. I could not bring myself to iron. I keep telling myself that the laundry room is just down the hall from our cabin.

Dena: I am glad you had a good time with Karen and her family. I am looking forward to all of us getting together.

We will be arriving at the Radisson sometime Thursday evening and will probably spend a good part of Friday at the pool.

Time for bed. Three more days of work and then I am free.

Instead of spending the day packing (like we should have) we went to the Brown's game yesterday, and the Brown's gave another winless team their first victory. So now we are mad that we did not stay home.

We have stuff laid out, but will probably pull another late nighter on Thursday - we fly out early Friday.

If I'm the last one out, I'll get the lights!

Hi everyone!

John, (hope you're feeling better by the way!), I think we might be one of the last ones. We're flying out late Friday night. Now I'm really wishing we had gone ahead one day early like everyone else. Oh well, maybe next time!

Did more ironing last night. Still haven't dragged the suitcases out of the closet. With a baby, time just gets away sometimes!

Hope everyone has a nice day!

Hi-

Hope everyone has a safe trip down. I bribed my 5 year old to help watch my 2 year old and got my ironing and packing done

I think I am taking too much. One little suitcase alone is nite diapers, pull ups, wipes, sand toys. One duffle bag is almost all Halloween

I figure I can feel up the 2 bags with gifts or they are a set so will store within each other.

I had a hard time packing this year Since we are driving down for SC on Friday to the Radisson I packed a separate bag for WDW after the cruise.

Still think I have too much and always do laundry but I keep telling myself ok my 5 year old get 6 outfits, 4 pair of shorts and 5 t-shirts..............I was awake until midnight going thru it in my head. I think I am being a little A Type

Hugs and safe wishes to you all

Dena, we can do the strawberries in my room on Friday afternoon. I think we'll be getting there around 3 pm on Thursday. But, I am sure we'll be to tired to do much.
I think Ashley and I will be hanging at the pool also on Friday so we can meet there. I'm sure we'll be wearing something Disney I 'll have my Halloween Cruiser shirt from last year on me or on a chair by the pool.

You gals keep up that ironing, it'll be my turn Wednesday morning.

 

[KaitlinsMom]

I can't believe all the ironing that is going on here! How are you gals going to keep all those clothes from getting wrinkled again when you pack them? Just keep it quiet, don't want my husband to hear all that ironing -

I am nearly done packing. Just have to get stuff together for the Raddison. When we get onboard, I am handing over a mountain of clothes to be pressed by the nice floks on the ship. I ironed our everyday clothes, but all of the evening stuff is being sent out.

Buzz&Woody's mom- I packed a separate bag for our 4 days at Universal. I think it will pay off in the long run.

I am trying my hardest to stay away from ALL laundry related items on this vacation.

 

[buzz&woody'smom]

Yes, I think the separate bag for our 4 days at WDW and yours for Universal is a good idea.

I ended up with 3 suitcases (28", 24" and 21"), a stuffed garment bag and a stuffed tote full of Halloween candy, treats and both costumes...............I think that is pretty good considering I also have a lot of beach toys, googles, and my snorkel gear plus pullups, nite diapers and swim diapers for the beach.

My 2.5 son is potty trained but I don't want to take any chances of accidents bc of the change in rountine and excitement

Question-What are you ladies wearing Mexicali Night?

This is also the first time that I have never booked any excursions. I thought in Key West trolley or train, Grand Caymen, taxi to 7 Mile Beach and Cozumel taxi to Chakanab
