Another early morning east coaster here. You guys all get going when I go to bed, LOL! Jet lag is going to be fun next week.

I LOVE the Mickey Pedicure! How cute is that. Be sure to wear sandals to the meet, Brenda.

Randall, thats exactly how I feel. I diet and exercise all the time so when I go on vacation I eat and drink everything I want and dont even worry about it. I know I will lose it at home. The ony bad thing on this trip is its a long one. Usually I gain about 1 lb per day on vacation, so this 12 day trip is scaring me.

OMG Nancy! Get that kid better! At least its now so you still have a few days for him to recover. Good luck! And I'm curious about the ridemax too. How can they tell in advance when the FP return times are going to be? Sounds interesting. I cant wait to hear about it.

We did 1 trip to WDW with DS when he was around 5 and he got sick the day before we left. He started coughing and at the airport I could feel his temp going up. He started throwing up that night. One time after he was sick and we had just gotten back to bed he said "Mom, how do you spell throw-up". He was big into Barney then and was upset because he thought we wouldn't be able to go see him at US. We worked it into the schedule after he had 1 days rest. That night we checked into the Grand Floridian. I don't know if it was because I looked so haggard from now sleep for 2 nights but they upgraded us to the Honeymoon suite in the main building on the Concierge floor. It was great until I started to feel sick a couple of days later but I persivered (sp?).

At least you will have a little time to recoup from your jet lag before you get on the ship. Our schedule is getting up around 5:00 on Thursday for a 8:45 flight. We want to do the fireworks Thursday night and have Balcony for 10:30 Fantasmic on Friday.

At least we can try to sleep in on Saturday because the bus to the port isn't until 12:10.

 

[CamColt]

Oh no! The poor kid!

We plan to do the same Thursday we will do EE at DL, take a midday break then go to CA. After that we plan to hop back to DL for the fireworks. Friday we have breakfast at Goofys Kitchen, then make our last visit to CA, then hop to DL, and we will see Fantasmic that night. Ill wave to you on the balcony. 10:30 show, right? Thats what we are aiming for, but I dont know if the kids will last.

 

[starwood]

10:30 is right. I'm planning on drinking ALOT of coffee.

Well I know that DS isn't feeling well because it is almost 8:00 and he's still asleep. He's usually up at the crack of dawn.

 

[starwood]

Looks like California Screamin' will be out of commission for our trip. It's good because DS was on the fence about whether or not he wanted to do it.

 

[CamColt]

Yeah, I'm so bummed about that, but I figure it will save us time as thats 1 less "must do" for me.

 

[bstsuda]

You were all up late (i'm in bed by 8:30 usually!!) and up early...i get up @ 2:50 - but i don't have time for internet - got to be at the gym by 4!!!! Not that it's getting me thin for the trip - OH NO!!! can't have that!!! That would be just toooooo much to hope for!!!!! So i'll probably a gain a few lbs. on the trip - get home and then LOSE all this weight!!!!!

 

[bstsuda]

how long do they project CA screamin is going to be closed???? what a real bummer!!!!

Definitely will have on flip flops for the meet - so you can check out my Mickey toes!!!!

Oh gosh Nancy - so sorry to hear about your DS!!! BUT....definitely better this Friday than next!!!!

Sending lots of pixie dust and "STAY WELL" wishes to all of you!!! I'm all stressed out about Ryan's football practice next week - they have double practice every day - so he's at the school from 10-7 practicing from 10-1 & then again from 4-7.....i've got fingers & toes x'd - (except my Mickey toes) that he does NOT get hurt or any broken bones!!!!!

 

[bridegirl]

oh no, I hope my surprise is not the same as the other surprise! That would be so random - we will have to wait and see!

I told my sister about the meet and she wants to donate something also, my question is, is it too late to add on more bags?

Each of the families in my group will donate something if it's not too late to get them in on the goodie bag thing, let me know and thanks!

The AA Family (thats us)
The Kellers (my sis)
The Farinas (mom)
The Marx Family (friends)

Thanks for organizing it!!!

[bridegirl]

what a great idea!!

They should offer that on the ship - I'm sure it would be a big seller.

How much can a few crystals cost?

Susy

 

[bridegirl]

are you guys all dressing up? I got costumes for our whole group.

I am really helping the page count with all these posts!

they actually might - i'm not really sure; but when i thought about waiting for onboard pedicure - all the sunday a.m. appts were gone (from online booking), and i didn't want to wait....i'm not that patient!!!! so now i have to choose some other spa type treatment

Susy

kind of - i'm just wearing a striped top with black capris and need to find a long red tie-belt; DS has a Disney pirate shirt; hook; sword, earring etc....and then we get the bandanas at dinner....

 

[CamColt]

My kids have shirts from Bermuda with priate skulls on them so they are wearing those. We might pick up a hat or something in DL. I had seen some cute ones in WDW when we went last month but I didnt know if the kids would want them or not so I figured we could wait. I think I'm just wearing a tropical sundress that night. I have no more room for anything extra.

hey Susy - check with Arlene on that for sure as she started them - but i believe we're bringing enough stuff for 20 bags (that's what i have packed anyway) and from her last update - looked like there were 15 family bags so far...so should leave extras for your other families....

 

[drlum]

Just wanted to let you know that my two sisters are also bringing something to add to the goodie bag handouts.

I will add their items into the little bags that I am putting my stuff in.

Almost the end of the week. But I work on Saturdays so officially not the end of the week yet.

Susy I like the idea of ordering an extra chocolate souffle to bring back to the room. I can imagine them getting all of the DIS group going can I get two to go from every other table. Oh well. It is supposed to be all you can eat.

 

[drlum]

One other thing. Could one of you bring about three Disneyland Maps and DCA maps and show schedules from your Disneyland trip. My sisters are going to Disneyland for 3 days after the cruise and I am helping them plan their day and wanted to go over the different show schedule times with them. Thank you.

 

[bridegirl]

Anyone looking for spa appts, for some reason, a whole bunch of them showed up today that were not there a couple of days ago!

???

Arlene, what about the gift bags?
