Hi girls,
Yes, I am getting so excited. I too feel like I am way overplanning. Instead of cleaning my house (which really needs it) I am on the boards looking for more info. I don't think we will dress for Pirate night. If I had something already I might bring it but alas we have no pirate attire. Did any of you catch the DCL show on the travel channel last Tuesday at 2:00 am? I used my Tivo. That got me so excited about going. Gotta love Tivo. Amanda, How bout this snow? The kids were off from school today and will be off likely tomorrow. It is still snowing. Have a good night all. Lisa

Just read a really good list of things to take/tips to do on a cruise. Even though this is cruise #5 for us, I still learned a lot by reading through it.

Yea the snow really sucks. I am used to it, being from Upstate NY, but I have enjoyed a snow-free winter for the most part. Apparently, DH refuses to dress up for Pirate night. Oh well! I feel like I am overplanning too!! Check out our website www.thegottafamily.com. If you click on Interests and then on Disney you will see that DH has posted 2 of my planning worksheets. These are only 2 out of 5 Can't wait for the trip!!

Hey girls,

We are very excited here. My girls have their suitcase already packed!!!!!!!!!! They were so cute packing and deciding what to bring. Not sure if we are dressing up for pirate night, they already packed thier princess dresses. Unfortunatly, We were at children's hospital in Boston yesterday and Mickey made a surprise apperance. My five year old was jumping for joy telling him, actuallly shouting at him that we will see you in April. My three year old on the other hand wouldn't go near him, hope she warms up soon. :cool1 Happy plannning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello ladies, Hope you all are having a good weekend. Amanda great site. Are you guys web designers? I love all your pictures. I tried to find your worksheets. I found a neat area with info on all of the parks but didn't find your worksheets. I didn't realize that you were a Disney planner. No wonder you can always answer my questions. Amy, my 3 year old was scared of the characters 2 years ago when we were there as well. We had a great time at the princess breakfast . Not scary because you could see their faces. We went to Liberty tree tavern on our last night. Just walked in without a ps. She tolerated the characters but still was a little tentative. Those characters are pretty big for a little person. I was thinking that it would be fun to meet each other somewhere on the ship. On the last 2 cruises I have been on we set up meeting times and had a quick drink by one the poolside bars. I must admit these were cruises my husband and I took without kids so it was easier to schedule things like that. Is this crazy to even suggest? Just thought I'd put it out there. We will likely check in sometime around noon. Make our spa reservations eat a bite and take the kids swimming. Maybe we could meet by one of the pools?

Amanda,
What a cool website! I'm in charge of one at work but I've never had the motivation to do one for the family (lazy!) I love your spreadsheet. I do mine in MS Word (complete with attraction by attraction), but yours is easier on the eye.

Amy,
I hope all is well with your kiddies. We are surrounded by the flu down here in Atlanta. It always hits us bad in Feb. I've given DS14 a bottle of antibacterial soap for his backpack and told him to wash his hands at school as often as he thinks of it! Don't want any surpirse illness now that we're on the home stretch!

 

[jclark3]

I'd love to meet y'all! It will just be me and DS14.

Jocelyn

A get together would be fun for us.

My husband is the web expert, I am the Disney expert We have just convinced two friends to join us! I can't wait. They are Disney virgins. The won't be on the cruise, just at the parks. Would love to meet up with you guys!!

Ladies,
Is there a formal night on our 3-day cruise? I seem to remember there isn't.
Jocelyn

 

[agotta]

No, I don't think so.

Amanda

 

[amy2girls]

no, I don't think so, I hope not b/c I have nothing to wear!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[agotta]

DH and I will dress up for Palo though

 

[Asil65]

Hi all,
No, there is no formal night on the 3 day. They recommend a dress/pantsuit for ladies at Triton's. The other nights are pretty casual. Can't believe our trip is one month away. What day do you think we should tr to meet up with each other? I was thinking that first afternoon if people are planning to get on early. How many people are hanging around the ship when we are at Nassua? We are doing our Thriller boat ride in the am and then planning on hanging out at the ship in the afternoon. A time in the afternoon when we are at Nassau might
work if people will be around that day. Not sure if any of you are going to Atlantis or not. What do all of you think? Do you think meeting somewhere by the pools would work for all of you? :thewave:

 

[agotta]

Dh and I will be there early as can be!! We are also planning on hangin out on the ship the day of nassau. We might get off in the a.m. for an hour or two, but thats it. Just tell us the time and place to meet!!
