Aug 14th 2004 - Anyone coming with us?

[Poly Pal]

Ugh! Tartan reminds me of wool. Wool in Florida in August makes me overheat just thinking about it! LOL!!

Thanks for compiling the list TartanFan.

I need to stop shopping, but the cruise is such a good excuse to go out looking and buying. I went ahead and rented husband a tux for the cruise. It will be waiting in our room, so that's one less item to pack and I know he will look great on our dress up nights. It's not something we have done a lot of since our daughter arrived. I went out shopping tonight with my Mom and found great bargains on cocktail dresses. Sales, sales, summer sales! I got a black dress and a peach colored dress at verry reasonable prices. I am off tomorrow so may take daughter to swimming pool and get some more sun. I just can't wait!!!!!!

 

[MICKEY'S DREAMERS]

js's mom : you surely love SHOPPING as much as I do !!!


I have rented a tux for DH too !!!!
( I'm afraid my European "measurements" aren't 100% perfect, BUT I hope his tux will fit anyhow !!!!)

We are bringing with us a pre-tied bow-tie ... I'm not sure DH will easily learn the "art" of tying a bow tie !!!!!!!
THIS IS OUR FIRST TUX !!!!! Here in Italy we use to wear tuxedoes ONLY on very formal - VERY RICH people weddings !!!

I'm also shopping around with my best friend ... it's SALES time here and my friend loves formal dresses ! She thinks I look great with formal gowns or cocktail dresses ( which I NEVER wear !!!).

Marco (DH) repeats day after day : Why SHE likes your dresses and I PAY FOR THEM ? ......
( Did I mention ... his favourite character is GRUMPY ? "

BUT I know he will like to dress up as well as the many pics opportunities we'll have on board !!!!


I look like you also because I tend to overPACK too much --- we will be staying 10 days at WDW before our cruise ... sure I hope all of those dresses will find their way into my ( and hubby's) suitcases !!!!!

At this moment I've got a lace dress + jacket to wear on formal / semiformal nights . Then I've just bought white pants + blue silk blouse for casual nights; I would like to don also an hawaiian - flowered dress ( I got a few years ago ) for the tropical night.

Do you think I'm overpacking ?
DH's reply : YES !!!!!!!


Could you give me some "help" ?



SEE YOU ALL SOOOOOOOOOOOOON !!!!

 

[PJ&Jakesmom]

[MICKEY'S DREAMERS]

Poly PAT : I was thinking of a tartan ( ? cotton) RIBBON around my hat ... or maybe a self-made cockade ...

Sure I agree wool isn't the best in Florida !!!!!


ALL of you, GIRLS : BEWARE !!!!!!!! don't let your DHs talk to my DH about OUR dresses !!!!!!!


LOL

We really need to keep our messages on the first page. I can't believe it's less than 30 days!

Mickey's Dreamers - I am the last one to say anyone would pack too much clothes. I dont' think that's possible. All I have to do for this trip is get the suitcases to the airport and then they will magically show up in our room on the ship. I think I will really like that I am glad you mentioned bringing a pretied bow tie for the tux and I also do not know how to tie such a bow - husband has one that he can bring so I will put it in the pile I am already starting of those items that must be packed for the trip. (I already have the suntan lotion and camera film in the pile to go)

I went and got new sunglasses tonite - my old one do not fit very well and I want to be sure they stay on good during the trip. I have prescription sun glasses as my eyes are very bad. My husband picked them out as it hard for me to tell how they look as the mirrors do not magnify that much (my eyesight is verrry poor).

Counting down the days.

 

[MICKEY'S DREAMERS]

js's mom : Me too... I'm already starting to gather items for our trip ... the pile is quickly growing !!!
GLAD I found you ... who can understand "the troubles" of packing !!!!

I wear prescription glasses as well; I bought sunglasses last Summer, it's worth to have GOOD sunglasses ... as the sun overthere in the Caribbean seas is very bright !!!! and could easily hurt sensitive eyes !!!
Marco (DH) always chooses my glasses ... my eye-vision is very poor too !!!
My sunglasses are dark blue , by Police. I (and DH) also use to wear a hat with large brims ... that is our first buy when we reach Florida !!!! It's the "signal" our vacation has started !!!!!!!


My doctor stated that a hat is "mandatory" to protect my eyes from sun ... coming from up the sunglasses . AND I love straw hats ...


EVERYONE: how are you feeling ????


I can't believe we will be leaving home in 16 days !!!!!!!

See you all pretty soon !! :

 

[TartanFan]

Just keeping us back on top!

Laura - you're so lucky. You'll be leaving before us! But have to say that exactly 4 weeks from now (barring delays!) we'll be taking off en route to JFK!

js'smom - DH is another who has a pre-tied bow tie for his tux. No way either he or I could even attempt to tie a real one!

DD is off camping this weekend and DH will be working most of it so it's SERIOUS shopping time for me! Good thing I get paid on Friday! And I agree with all previous posts - you can't pack too much. You can only have too little luggage!

I'm thinking new sunglasses too - great minds think alike! My 4 year old prized Gucci's finally had enough! Think I'll hit the duty free store. Now where did I put that credit card?!?!?!?

Am off on an overnight work trip tomorrow but will work on updating our cruise list when I get back. Apologies to Poly Pal - DD is Patrick so I just get used to typing Pat! And Skyhawk, I'll link you and IPB.

Getting really excited to meet as many fellow DIS addicts as possible on the 14th!

Meant to say that DH is Patrick - not DD! You'd never guess I'm a trained typist, would you?!

My turn to bump us up and keep our thread on the first page. Any body else get their docs? The DCL web sight was really weird. 3 weeks ago there were 4, 5, 6 cabins available, except cat9, for adults, no available space for kids. Then last week everything was gone, showing nothing available. Wonder who bought all the left over cabins, CM's and Florida residence? Hope a lot of early bookers got bumped up and the lower cabins given to late bookers. I don't expect an upgrade, booked the cabin I could afford an am happy with, same as previous 4 cruises, love the location.

 

[skyhawk]

Waiting for my docs also. I am booked with a large group through a TA. Will the docs come directly to me, or to my TA, or to our "group leader"? Hmmmmmm.

 

[DawnL]

We have 3 families going on the 8/14 Magic!! We sailed on the Magic to the Western also in July of 2002 and loved it!! The one thing that we regretted not doing was the Stingray City Tour - everyone seemed to be talking about it at dinner and giving it rave reviews. The first thing I did was book Captain Marvins for this trip. We haven't seen our documents yet - hopefully they will be arriving in the very near future.

 

[markey]

My docs were waiting for me on the front porch when I got home from work. Guess everyone should have them soon!

 

[markey]

Just opened my docs, they are correct but I was sent the Passport for the Wonder. Called DCL and said one would be sent, should arrive in a couple of weeks, maybe it will be here when we return! I have old ones, but is nice to look for changes. Would really be disappointed if this were my first cruise.

 

[brandon&calliesmom]

DAWN

WHAT IS CAPTAIN MARVINS? HAVE YOU DONE IT BEFORE? IS IT APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN AGES 7-12? AND WHAT ISLAND IS IT ON... ALSO HAS ANYONE EVER DONE THE NATILUS OR SEA ADVENTURE SEMI SUBMERGED SUBMARINE. IF YOU DID LET ME KNOW ABOUT IT PLEASE.

 

[skyhawk]

Captain Marvins is an independent tour operater in Grand Cayman. I've never done it, but we booked him for this trip. You can charter your own boat to go to several spots - we are doing the stingrays. From what I've read in here, it seems to be a good deal!

 

[yodasdabomb]

While I will not be a guest on the August 14th Magic, this will be my first week onboard the Magic and a CM! I just found out my official date today. I will be flying to Orlando on the 10th, for land training then to the Magic on Saturday. Since this will be my first week I will be earning my ears, and will spend most of the week in trainings and meetings, but I will keep my eye out for all those wild n' crazy DISers.

I just wanted to stop in and say Hello!

So Hello!!

 

[Larryluvsdisney]
