I don't know how to put the link in, but there is a release form for shutters photos on disneycruiser.info.

Sherry, I'm certainly hoping you'll be fine because Mary and I don't get in Orlando until 11:45 a.m.!! I refuse to think about anything bad happening. Only sunshine thoughts from here on out.

I would love to walk some mornings, too. I have to admit that I'll never get my butt out of bed early every morning, but I'll try.

I tanned (i.e. burned) last night. It was a new bed with new lights. WOW. It felt so good, though. I love to bask in warm heat.

Hi everyone - I think there is a standard walking group that DCL leads that goes every morning I think around 8:30-9:00. I would love to walk each morning and will most likley be up by 8:00 at the latest! Well I'm off to Skate Canada Grand Prix competition tonight until Sunday...I just love figure skating - did it for 13 years in my young and fit days! My Mom and Katie are going to share the other ticket so we're going to have a great time doing more girl bonding and figure-skating watching!! My daughter is infatuated with Sasha Cohen from the US and will be thrilled to see her skate live! I will have to dedicate all next weekend to packing! Linda - have a blast in Las Vegas. I can't believe we are soooooo close! Jo

Just a quick hello. It always seems like I just finish reading the posts and it's time for Devon to get off the bus! So much for my "alone" time!

Regarding pictures, I wonder if it's possible to scan the pictures into our computers and then either print them out ourselves if we have the printer or "send" them to someplace like Walmart etc. to have digital pics printed out. (You can have them mailed to you or pick up store). An idea, although I'm not sure of the "legality" of it.

I too have a few dresses that call for going bra-less!. Unfortunately at my age I NEED them to fit a little tight in order to keep it all "in"! LOL not that there's much left to keep in!

We've been talking so much about flights/times of arrival but what is everyone's return schedule like. Delta changed our return flight from 2:30 to 4:30 so we're going to have some time to fill. Considering booking the day rate at the airport Hyatt. Anyone else in this predicament?

Michelle, are you reserving Palo, spa etc. With our arrival time we may be doing a mad dash to get in line to make ressies. I'm still hoping for cancellations for the dolphin swim excursion so we can do that. Cancellations must be made 2 days prior or you're charged so I'll keep calling to check in. You never know, I may get lucky. (Fingers crossed!)

I just found a gorgeous vintage hawaiian dress and am contemplating bringing this along too. Sometimes packing too early can lead to adding more than necessary! Think I'll need to add another pair of heels too!

Off to get the bus. Talk to you all soon.

 

[mkauffman]

Mary, we've rented a car and are going to Downtown Disney on the 22nd. We don't fly out until 4:10. We're not doing Palo or spa ressies, so I'm not real concerned about that. I just want our flights down to go smoothly so we don't miss the ship!!

Keep your fingers crossed. You might be able to get the dolphin swim. People do cancel for unknown reasons.

I think my parents are re-thinking the banana boat ride on CC. It might be too rough.

will i ever keep up with all the posts.. i should be cleaning, but can't get away from this computer..

anyways.. tony and i are not doing spa or palo either.. so we won't have to worry about that.. our flight home does not leave orlando til something like 7:30 pm or so.. my cousin is picking us up at the port and we are spending the day with her and her husband.. they live 10 minutes from the port and said they would drive us back to the airport too.. i want to be back there by 4:00 though that way we can get supper and get settled, etc..

our flight coming in gets in orlando around 2:30 on the 14th.. we are spending the night there though so we will just hang around and look at all the shops, etc. that afternoon..

well, talk to you all later..

We will be leaving for JAX ASAP after being able to leave the ship. BIL's wedding is at 3 so DH & his brother will be leaving the house at 1 and I will be leaving with the kids & SIL & her kids at 1:30. The rest of the day will hopefully go smoothly and we should be back to the house & in bed by 10...I HOPE!!! I will be able to check in on my SIL's computer...but don't really want to think about that. I read over the Navigators last night & got so sad when I reached the last day.

About the shutters pictures, you just need to print out the release on the site that was posted & take it with you to the Target or WM with the Picture maker thing. There shouldn't be a problem.

 

[nedleycan]

We are flying in on the 14th around 3:00 p.m. Going to Downtown Disney Hilton for the night. Fly home on the 23rd in the morning. We will be going back to the Hilton on the night of the 22nd. We will be going to MK on the 22nd.

 

[Jo-Anne]

we've got the 11:40am flight from Orlando to Buffalo. By all accounts, as long as the boat docks on time, we should have no problem getting off ship by 8:30 and arriving at MCO by 9:15, so should have plenty of time! We've hired a towncar to pick us up at port and do the driving to airport, so I don't have to worry about shuttles, parking lots etc. I know there are other flights later that day if things just don't line up right!

 

[mkauffman]

Wow. It sounds like everyone is coming from different places at different times. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as we all make the sail-away party, right?

I can't wait to hear "Celebration"!!

Lisa, you aren't even going to have time to breathe after debarking. I'll be thinking of you as I head back to cold PA!

We all must make promises to keep in touch! I'm going to miss you guys so much!

Ok, back to the sunshine I promised myself.........

Michelle

 

[lbgraves]

I forgot to say that we are arriving in Orlando on Wednesday 11/12, going to DT Disney & spending time around the hotel. I can't wait for the kids to see the GIANT Buzz! We are planning to go to MK Thursday & Seaworld Friday. Friday night I will probably do laundry so that I can leave what warmer clothes we used in the car. Hopefully we wont be needing alot of long pants on the cruise!

 

[mkauffman]

Lisa, you guys are going to LOVE that hotel. We had a ball there. Now I want to check out the new Pop Century. Maybe next trip.

Michelle

 

[nedleycan]

I had to pack for Vegas tonight, as we are leaving here to go up north (to our ski chalet - Collingwood, Jo) tomorrow around 4:00, so that we can be there for trick or treating. Then, the family is dropping me at the airport on the way home Sunday afternoon. Feels like another vacatin. I will miss you guys next week, and am almost worried about the amount of posts that will happen between Sunday and Thursday.

 

[nedleycan]

I couldn't find our thread and had to use an old link to find it... let's see if this post will make it appear.... weird.

 

[lbgraves]

Hope that you have a good trip, Linda. Sounds like a nice weekend ahead for your family.

Mike got home early last night so I had help with putting the kids to bed. I had forgotten about the kid's Halloween parties this morning, so I wont be getting any packing done. Just about down to a week for us now!

 

[mkauffman]

Linda, have a great time in Vegas. I hope the weather is fantastic for you!

Lisa, I'll bet it was nice having Mike home.

Michelle (it's beautiful in Central PA today)

 

[mcampbell_22]

Linda, I couldn't find the thread either. It looks like they started a new thread at the top of the page called Cruise Meets where all these types of thread will now be kept.

It's a gorgeous day here in MA and they're predicting it will be in the 70s tomorrow! Glad the kids won't be freezing for trick or treating tonight. Just got back from dropping off goodie bags to the kids' classes for them to hand out. Conor made me promise not to wear a costume when I dropped them off! Said I would embarass him! Ah, so it begins "Mom! Not in front of my friends!" LOL

I remember a few pages back talk of rain ponchos. We pick ours up at Walmart or off price stores for around 50¢ I think. They're the clear one-time use kind but work in a pinch and are very small in terms of packing space. When we went to WDW with the kids still in strollers they worked great to cover up our stuff when going into rides so everything stayed dry. Don't feel so bad throwing out a 50¢ poncho as opposed to the much more expensive yellow Disney ones. I've packed a few just in case although my kids are known to swim in any kind of weather. "We're going to get wet anyway!"

 

[mkauffman]

Mary, the embarrassment thing definitely gets worse the older they get. Then amazingly one day they need you again. My mom always told me that's how it works. It's really hard to let go, though.

I think the new Cruise Meets thread is great!

Michelle

 

[lbgraves]

Well, I am totally enjoying not being able to embarrass my kids yet. LOL! I went to both of their Halloween parties this morning...makes it nice when they are right next door to each other. When I have a chance to upload the pictures I will send them out. William is a fireman & Kaitlyn is a pretty princess. What are your kids dressing up as today?

 

[sherry]

My "kid" who is almost 17 went to school as Hermine (sp)from Harry Potter. We are having a gathering at our house tonight and she is going to be the girl from Pirates of the Carribbean, can't remember her name. Her boyfriend is being the part of Orlando Bloom. Sorry, I am terrible with names
