Anyone cruising May 8, 2004 Western?

[PoohFan2004]

I was just checking emails to get my TAs email address and harass her about not receiving my documents yet and guess what I saw.... an email from her letting me know she had just received new documents for me and we were upgraded (from cat 11 to cat 8)! WOW! I am really excited now, but I won't believe it until I see the actual documents.

I guess I am going to have to start thinking about packing soon. My biggest dilemma is what shoes to bring. It seems like every outfit I think about bringing needs a different pair of shoes! And I'm not even someone who owns that many different pairs of shoes.

Save a konk kooler for me!

Poohfan2004 - congrats to you, that is great, enjoy

Katdb - Monday sounds great, thank you for planning this for all of us. Also you can get the Konk Kooler without the rum, still tastes good.

Bossladypu - Don't worry, the last time we were on the Magic it was totally booked and you don't really notice. There are so many places to go, and things to do that the only place that feels crowded is the pools. But I think that would be the case on any cruise no matter if it was sold out or not.

Still sitting here waiting for my docs. Any day now

Thanks to everyone for the great advice on packing. The more I think about formal night also, I think we may just skip it. I know my husband would be happy (and after all it is his anniversary too, LOL).

I also forgot about it being Mother's Day, that is a good reason to be full. Geez, what a way to spend an anniversary and Mother's Day. Okay, the blues are gone and now I'm getting excited. Everyone on these boards are the best. Plus how did people plan trips before computers????

Thanks again,

Gail

Bump....

Whats a konk cooler?

 

[DisneyForLife]

A delicious drink you can get on the ship or on CC. Alcohol or not, your choice.
You will have to give one a try.

Hi everyone,
I am getting so excited for this cruise. We are leaving Friday from PA. We are staying at the Fairfield Inn near Jacksonville Airport.

We stayed there last year when we went to WDW.

They offer a free breakfast.

Is anyone else staying there.


Can't wait to see some of you on the ship.

Ok well apparantly as I am learning I am a konk kooler virgin!
LOL
Can't wait to try one........(hourly)

Bye for now!!

Gail,
I planned on skipping formal night, too, but then we decided not to go all out formal (tuxes and long gowns) My dh is going to wear some nice khakis, button down shirt, tie and sport coat. I'm going to be in a simple black dress. For us, that *is* formal!!! My feeling is if ppl don't like it, they can let it ruin their vacation. I will not show up to formal night in shorts, cut off jeans, or a halter top. I know *that* much! But I will, in no way, be the most formal there! From what I've read, dh will be one of the "lessor dressed" in his sport coat, but his feeling is that if ppl don't like it, they can let it ruin their vacation!

I bought my ds a suit at Sears ($29) and he looks so spiffy in it that it's inspiring me to clean myself up and look decent for formal night. What a cute picture that would be of us! Dd will be wearing a pretty dress--but she wears dresses everyday, so formal night isn't a stretch for her!

Hope you'll join us.

If you would go on semi-formal night, what would you wear? The same thing or something different?

Yeah, I finally figured out the quote thingy. Now I'm going to show my real ignorance. I haven't wanted to ask because I think I have it figured out, but everyone seems so nice, hopefully they won't laugh at me. Is DD, DS, DH, for designated daughter, son, husband?

Gail

 

[ohiominnie]

Maybe the same thing. The rest of my clothes will be mix and match so I won't have to pack 7 complete dinner outfits. I only wear the clothes for dinner, so pants that were worn a couple hours one day can be worn a couple hours another day too!

DD, DS, DH, DW stand for either "dear" daughter, son, husband or wife OR "Disney" daughter, son, husband or wife....or if you've had a REALLY bad day, the "d" can start another word of your choosing!

It gets really bad though when you are talking (verbally) to someone in real life and you say something like "I was talking to my dh last night over dinner...." They tend to look at you a bit strange!

Oh, and by the way, if anyone has a problem with me wearing the same pants, I give you full permission to let it ruin your vacation if you feel so inclined......

Well then I may ruin someones vacation too since I am double using all my dinner clothes so I only have to pack 3 outfits for dinners!! Formal night we are going to topsiders so we will just wear capris that night.

Well I packed the little black dress and a pair of white sandals. I hope they look good on me. LOL

Seriously though - I plan on taking a blue\black Sports Coat, one nice pair of dark slacks/white shirt for Formal night (and Palo), 3 pairs of light slacks (including Khakis), 2 polo shirts, 2 LONG SLEEVED dress shirts. The rest is either shorts, t shirts, or hawaian shirts. Still trying to figure out if I can get by without a nice pair of dress shoes but alas, I think I will need to bring some. I am officially ready to go.

It's one Blue sports coat for me, semi and formal nights.. 3 pairs of dockers and plenty of short sleeve polos... 1 for each night..

 

[ohiominnie]

ALRIGHT!!! Let's hear it for the Sports Coat crowd! I can't wait to tell dh that there will be more Sports Coats out there! Maybe we should all link our ressies so we can have one solid table of Sports Coat clad men!

and, I may be fashion illiterate, but I'd never wear a black dress and white sandals. That doesn't go, does it??

Wow, I hardly know you other than the fact you have a sports crazed son...
but REALLY, can you please wear pants. I mean....you might be taking this a little to far wearing "a dress shirt and tie.. but that is it."
Hey, I don't even care if you skip the shoes. But I'm thinking others may have a problem with your idea of "formal"

 

[aprilgail2]

YIPPEEEEEEEE FINALLY GOT MY DOCS!!!! UPS man dropped them off tonight!!
