April 14,2013 Dream 4 Day...

I hated to have to drop out, but we are in the process of moving into our first home together and I've got a lot to do before the wedding. Things have been crazy around here, but I'm so excited about the change! God has truly blessed me! We will have the FE on our next cruise for sure!
 
So happy for you lml2013 :hug:




We hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend.

Myself, DH, DD (15) and her DGirlfriend (14) will be staying at the Hyatt the night before the Cruise. Maybe my girls will get to meet Angel on the cruise at the Vibe teen club. They plan on camping out there and at the Vibes sun deck / splash pools.

Today Angel decided that she wants to try out Vibe after all, so maybe she'll see the girls there. :) We received our MAW info last week, and were very surprised that we'll be at the Hyatt the night before too. The coordinator had told me that we would be shuttled to a near by hotel, so I'm not sure how the change occured, but it made Angel very happy. We had been disappointed because we had to reluctantly decline a very generous offer from a DISser to stay at a wdw resort that night, because our flight doesn't arrive until evening.

Angel should enjoy Vibe. My son "lives" there during the cruise. Good news about the Hyatt! What airport are you flying from? (Since you are a fellow Illinoisian--I'm curious.) We actually drive up to Milwaukee to fly. We like that airport and since we're in way up north in IL, it's not far to drive.

I was hoping to get some packing done this weekend but so far that hasn't happened!
 

We'll be in the Hyatt too!! Do I sense a pre-cruise coffee/breakfast hour possible?

She's really shy, so we'll see how the first night goes. I think she didn't really consider it much before because her ANC (indicates how her immune system is doing) was ok but still pretty low, but last month it shot up to normal range so it's not as much of a risk.

We fly out of Moline. We like it because it's small, and we used to be able to get a direct flight to MCO (about 2 1/2 hour flight). This time we layover in O'Hare - hour flight from Moline, 2 hour layover, then 3 hour flight, but it's better than having to drive to Chicago like they had wanted us to. If I had been booking the flight, I would have looked into flying out of Bloomington.

The extent of my packing has been to pile things on top of the suitcases.

We're hoping to be on the first bus. :)

LOL...at least you have your piles near your suitcases. Mine are sitting in my room, the baby's room, the living room. It's hard to focus on packing when I'm still worried about the last two assignments I have due on the 11th. We're going to try and hop on the first bus too...fingers crossed.

Alright now, seriously, I need to get off the DIS for awhile, deliver some monitors to a testing center and then get my qual practice exam done.

I was happy to see that you got your dining time switched...hoping for some pixie dust for us too. pixiedust:
 
Hey y'all are both doing better than me. My luggage is still in the garage. Of all times for me to get a new boyfriend and then get bronchitis haha. I have lots to do this weekend. Truth be told I will be packing the night before I leave lol I procrastinate. I can't believe it's 12 days away.
 
Who else is overwhelmed?! :scared1::headache:

I have to buy my 11 year old an entire new summer wardrobe, and she's home sick today - the day I was going to try to hit the mall. I don't even know what size to get her, she's grown so much since last year! :confused:

We got our cruise docs in the mail yesterday, so that's exciting! :woohoo:
 
Very Overwhelmed, but very excited

So much to do, yet somehow I can't stop listening to Disney streams from the parks online.

The music of main street really gets me excited
:thumbsup2
 
Only packing advice I have for the cruise--you'll probably need HALF of the clothes you think you do. Everyone overpacks--esp. for their first cruise.

Today I moved my piles around, and managed to get a few things actually in suitcases, but overall I think I just made a bigger mess than I started with. :rotfl: Normally I'm very organized with our wdw packing, but I'm not making much progress this time.

Hope you do well with finishing up your classes :hug:

Will be nice if we're waiting for the bus at the same time. :)

Hope you get main dining. pixiedust: We know space became available. :)

Sorry you haven't been feeling well, hope you're all better now. :hug: Yay for the new boyfriend :)

Sorry DD is sick, hope she's feeling better. :hug: I hope you're able to find her some clothes. Yay for the cruise docs :)

Angel was playing it last week when she was on break. :) She has lots of park music on cds that she plays a lot, but she excited that they play so much more online.

We always pack light. :) I'll have to do a load of laundry at the resort, but for us it's better than lugging around extra suitcases.
 
Add my family to the group, we made an impulsive decision and booked last night so now I have 11 days to get ready!

I am feeling way better, I just still have a horrible cough. It doesn't help that it's practically raining pollen lol.

Welcome! How exciting to book a cruise at the last minute! :welcome:

Glad you are feeling much better. :) Hope your cough clears up really soon. Our seasonal allergies haven't been too bad so far, and I'm hoping they're not bad at wdw.
 
Welcome aboard! We will be having a DISmeet on Embarkation day from 2:30-3:30ish at the Vista Cafe on Deck 4. Please join us if you'd like.

Only 10 days and 3 sail away parties left before our own! Watch today at http://www.portcanaveralwebcam.com Sail Away usually occurs between 4:30-5pm EST.
 
Ok so since I've never cruised I have a question that might be kinda dumb lol. Obviously while at sea I can't use my cell phone, but what about while at the ports?

There is cell at sea service but I've heard it is outrageously priced. The best bet is to check with you service provider since you'll be out of the country. They'll likely charge you international rates for calls and texts. Sometimes they do have packages you can purchase that will save you a little bit of money.
