HI Chris,

Youve done the right thing...just jump on in. We are glad to have you aboard!
You have some kids in your party the same ages as mine. I have 2 boys, Cameron is 8 & Colton is 5. They will be happy to know there are more kids in their "club".

Nancy....GET BETTER!!!!!

I'm beginning to freak out with only 2 days left. I just got in from my jog and while out there I was thinking...I only have 1 more run left. I cannot believe how fast this trip has come, even being in the making for over a year. Actually I cant believe I'm going on it, LOL! I never thought it would happen.

Hi Katie - are you planning to hit the fitness center on board? I can't imagine a week without a treadmill and weights ESPECIALLY with all that food on board!!!

Nancy - definitely definitely get some drugs in you asap - we want you in perfect health too!!!! But i bet the Calif sunshine will knock it right out of you too!!!

 

[bridegirl]

You were right, of course, it was Becky.

I had pm'ed her when I first read that, but never heard back.

6 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure she'll buy them if you get them....(or someone will) and don't have names put on them....that way they work for anyone!!! bet there will be a few who people who won't have them

 

[bstsuda]

six dancing bananas who are just as excited as we are!!!!!

 

[bstsuda]

Nancy & Becky - looks like it's the three of us that have teens all same age (Matt 13, Sonja 14, Nikki 14 , & Ryan 14)...so excited for them all to meet~

You know what they say "better living through chemistry". Lots of herbal tea today and echinachea. DH just got me some OJ. Since DS's sniffles only lasted 2 days maybe mine will be the same.

Coming out of church this morning around 10:00 am I thought "this time next week I'll be in topsiders having breakfast".

I got a catalog Friday that I really wish I had gotten sooner. They had a Jack Sparrow costume. It looks really good.

 

[CamColt]

ROFL!!! Love the smilies at Topsiders!!!!

 

[cmic6556]

You should get your DH that Capt Jack costume!!! if you love Capt Jack as much as I DO.....it might be worth his while to wear it !!!!
Or maybe it was more your son's size????

 

[starwood]

Actually they had both but they would never get here in time - we leave Thursday.

I'm CMIC6556's sister looking forward to this cruise with everyone. I'm new at this so excuse any mistakes. As I look through the list, there are LOTS of kids. It seems like more than 20 kids (what ages are we looking at for the bags) I would love to contribute something to the bags but I'm not sure how much - are we still at 20? Who would I take the goodies to? How will this work? I need to think about what to bring but thought I might bring chocolate covered oreo cookies with MM icon. Sound okay? Questions, questions, questions I know.

 

[bstsuda]

lxesmom - WELCOME!!!! so glad you and your DBRO and all the families are joining us!!! Looking forward to meeting you all.....we are going to have an awesome DISMEET next saturday as well as the greatest cruise ever!!!

 

[drlum]

Hello Chris. Welcome to the board. If you look over the main DIS cruise board there are a lot of ideas about things to do on board. Did you book you Palo's dinner and brunch. If not you need to do it first thing on board.

I just read in the Sunday paper that a Dinsey Movie Vallant is opening on August 19 nation wide. I think we might get to see it on Friday day and night I hope. I am sure that everyone on board is going to want to see it. My family is also looking forward to seeing Herbie, national treasure and maybe Nemo or one of the other movies. I think they might also be showing sky high since this is also a Disney movie. So maybe it is good that we are sailing at the end of summer. We get more summer movie releases. It all depends on the timing. But since movies cost $8-$10 per person these days I figure this is a way of getting a little more return on your cruise. I just wish they had hot buttered popcorn available. Or a microwave so you could make your own. Just not quite a movie without the hot popcorn. Maybe we will buy some prepackaged popcorn to bring along.

I went to target and bought some movie snacks and candy for the kids. Also got some wet wipes, zip locks, small zip lock containers.

Arlene, FYI DMIL Elena is from San Francisco, DM Norma is from Hawaii also. So I also am bringing two grandmother. But these two are not looking for a grandpa to hook up with. Maybe all the grandmas can go to tea and talk about their crazy kids and grandkids.


Packing, packing, packing. I think we are going to also have a whole bag full of shoes. My son has a nice suit and I love taking the formal night pictures. Got to get there early so we can stop at as many stations as possible. Remeber taking the pictures are free. You just don't get to get all dressed up and take a formal picture with you family very often. I am also a picture nut. I make my kids pose. Also since the advent of digital camera's I will make them repose if I don't like the shot. Well that's it for now. Have a very safe trip to those of you leaving soon. And see you in 6 days.

 

[drlum]

I just thought of another good packing idea. Put your socks inside you shoes. Then when you get to where you are going you already know where those darn socks are.

Also I told my sisters that they may want to bring along a small umbrella. You can use it for shade and also in case it showers. It does shower in the afternoons in Mexico sometime. This was the case when we went to PV a few years ago.

We are bringing a duffle bag along for the shoes and flip flops. Remember to pack an extra small bag to stuff with all the tshirt and other stuff we all end up buying along the way.

 

[bridegirl]

If everybody keeps writing!

Arlene - the other two families got their goodie bag stuff, mark the kellers as "pirate booty" and the farinas as "golden mickeys"

Also, for the roster, we are doing...
Sat night Palo dinner
Sun tea with wendy
Mon Palo tea
Tuesday Punta Mita golf and spa
Thursday Cabo cruise
Fri Palo brunch
Sat - may have to go to DL for the day if we are so sad about leaving the ship!

Susy

 

[bridegirl]

For anyone who is going to DL on the way to the cruise, they had some really cute new ones!!!

Made to look like the pirates from the movie, skeleton on the shirt and kind of ragged - adorable! They were sold out already of xs and s, I wanted to get them for my boys!
