They have different buttons at the various parks, I figured since we're staying at AK that day, I'd just go to there to get one. But thinking about it now, I'll probably head over to MK and get one since it's the park that has Early Entry that day.

and yes, it's actually my birthday on boarding.. now I can pretend that the whole sail away party is one huge birthday party for me

What a great way to spend your birthday! Congratulations and Happy Birthday in advance.

You guys won't be able to miss me - just look for the 5 foot, sort of blonde woman with the big butt chasing the 5 & 7 year old around. I will try and get some Mickey Heads to put on myself - maybe one on each side of the big butt and then you'll be able to pick me out for sure


minnie1000 - we need to talk!!!

 

[DisneyNotes]

I'm still laughing from your post. I can picture you now.

So, to update - we'll be looking for wedding dresses, birthday buttons and backsides with Mickeys stuck to them. I'm looking forward to the "terminal fun" almost as much as the cruise!

Welcome all our new families, we've really become active with less than a month to go. And a sail away party for your birthday!!!!

I've got to go about making up this magnetic sign for the door. Being an accountant, I'm not much of the creative type. DD will be home for the weekend, seems this semester she's home just about every other weekend; whenever the laundry piles up I guess. Maybe she can help with a design.

I had suggested a meet outside of scoops because it is up in the fresh air and we can head right over to the sail away. I don't remember how long it was from the safety drill to the party, but we've never missed a party! Of course we don't want to rush the meet or avoid the meet to start partying. Trying to hook up in Parrot Cay could work, understanding that the families will be boarding at different times based on when we arrive in port. We're real flexible with whatever is best with everyone.

We fly on the 20th Is anyone flying on the 21st? From the sounds of the posts most will be over at WDW beforehand.

I like the scoops idea. I didn't realize it was outside, but that's nice. Also, ICE CREAM! Can I get a Mickey Bar there?

NJHOO - the meet was your idea, so pick a time and place and those that can't make it take my last name with them and call my cabin when they get a chance. How about that?

 

[zack&alexmom]

Lets get a count of how many will be at WDW before the cruise and for how long? Where is everybody staying and have you decided which parks to do what day? Anything special planned at WDW(character breakfasts, ect)?

I will start:

Orlando airport area hotel - November 17th
Port Orleans - Riverside - November 18th - November 21

Still trying to figure what parks which day - I think my Uncle is coming on Saturday to be with us and I think he will want to do MK. He is supposed to be staying and driving us to the Port on Sunday morning.

Was going to do character breakfast but decided to save it for a time when we aren't going on a cruise few days later. I have never been to Downtown Disney so maybe we will check that out.

Russ: I am the trouble maker of the group. Sorry Some people want to eat and some don't. One thing we all agree on is we don't want to miss the sail away party. I have never been to a Dis meet before. My guess is you get to know who you been with right? I don't see why we can't do both. We can mingle and be up on deck 9 for the sail away. We might even see some of us before hand at the terminal........ We will identify ourselves with lime green or a color of your choosing mickey mouse heads from home depot with your screen name on them. We will pick a spot before we go.............near the front to one side? Give me imput and you guys decide. I will be quiet now.


Linda: can I bribe you with some flowers not to talk with minnie1000? lol

 

[castoff]

I am coming the day before..........however we are staying at the Hampton Inn at Cocoa Beach. It's about 7 min. from the port. Tina

 

[DisneyPoly]

I'm having a great time reading all of your posts -- I'll be sure to wearing my green Mickey Head on an appropriate body part

Just keep me posted on the DISmeet location -- we also have early dinner, so I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of everyone.

Can't wait

 

[zack&alexmom]

Why don't we say that we will all wear our Mickey heads and will look for each other in Parrot Cay, if we chose to eat there when we get on(if we haven't already met in the terminal with our birthday pin, wedding dress and strategically placed Mickey heads).

Then anyone who can meet after the life boat drill at scoops to grab a ice cream and go over to the sail away . Anyone who can't make that should be able to spot a bunch of short people with kids taller then (or almost taller then) their Mom's who have Mickey Heads on their butts at the sail away party.

OK Tina, I won't find out your room # but I'll find you quickly enough anyway.

The problem with being on deck 5 is that there is so few rooms we are going to be really easy to find.

We're driving down on the 17th, staying at Shades of Green and hitting Downtown Disney that night. Then we're heading to AKL from the 18th to the 21st. Then to the ship on the 21st.

I told my DH I was going to make the Mickey heads to wear. He just gave me "the look".

*sighs* he just doesn't get into the disney excitement that I do!

Linda and the rest of the gang - Here goes the schedule for our family.

11-18 - Grand Floridian - most of those days at MK
18-21 - Beach Club Villas - most of the time @ Epcot
We plan to leave BCV by 9:30 or 10:00 on boarding day.
After the cruise, we'll be at the Polynesian for Thanksgiving weekend. (Luau for T'giving dinner)

I really like Downtown Disney (DTD), but my family could take it or leave it. The Lego store is great and so is the World of Disney store. It's nice to walk along the water and window shop. Oh, we found a good pin trading shop, too. Can't remember where it was along the path or what it was called. Someone mentioned there was a good bath shop. I'm going to look for that. I'm planning to hit DTD for a couple of hours on Thursday, the 18th.

 

[beccas334]

The bath shop rocks! I'm making gift baskets for my sisters for Christmas and they sell awesome bath bombs that I'm planning on including. So I'm definately looking forward to shopping there!

Hey Linda:
You peeked my curiosity so I looked at deck 5 floor plan. I think it's not going to be fun to find you. There's nothing in the middle of the deck. There is 34 cabin's on one side and 44 cabin's on the other side. That's alot of walking from one end to the other !!!!!lol

I am in agreement on the mickey heads............ I am keeping quiet though. I have caused enough trouble. Hey did you figure out how Minnie1000 got my cabin number yet. lol I am just teasing you aren't I?

Your just gonna have to get him in the disney spirit !! Don't worry if you can't I am sure the cast members will have something to say about that. lol Did you make your door magnet yet with your screen name?

 

[beccas334]

I haven't made my magnet yet.. I'm "suppose" to be working on a midterm for one of my courses (which is due tomorrow at midnight) .. but um.. I've been spending all day on the DIS boards!

OH MY! I just found all of the rest of the smilies... Yet another way to spend a couple of hours instead of working

becca

 

[DisneyNotes]

Bath bombs? Like bath beads, only better? I'll try some. Do you remember where the bath shop is? Is it near the Lego and McDonald's area?

I will help you get motivated to work on your"paper"
now of course the:thewave: :thewave:

 

[beccas334]

Bath bombs are these huge ball shaped things that fizz in water. SOO neat!

I think it's near World of Disney and Ghirardelli, but it's somewhat of a side entrance.
