August 2, 2011 disney dream

[JMTStone]

I'm off to the airport in 5 hours. There will be no sleep for me tonight. I feel like that commercial where the kids and the grown-ups can't sleep the night before they leave for Disney. My blackberry doesn't agree with DIS (its very hard to read and post) and I've told my employer that my laptop will not work, so I say "See Ya there".

I'll be at the outlaws until the 30th when we arrive at Beach Club Villas.

I will be at the meet the night before we leave after EPCOT fireworks at the Boardwalk. I'll try to be at the meet on board (I am at the mercy of Disney transportation).

Looking forward to Doug and Scott's matching shirts.

Fish Extenders: I'm bringing a hard copy of the list for anyone who needs it. But I hope my ship map and color-coded spreadsheet helped. Yes, I am a technology geek. This is probably why I don't have Jeanne's crafting gene. I can route a toll free number to Uganda and play a menu in several languges but I can't sew a button. Heck, I can route a toll free number to YOUR HOUSE. But NO WORK for me for 13 whole days.

Hi - new to posting, but been lurking for a few weeks. Happened upon this great forum a little late.

I (Mom - 45) will be sailing on the Dream on Aug 2nd with my DD - 11. This will be our first cruise and we are very excited. I've enjoyed reading about the Fish Extenders, tips for the cruise, etc. Sorry I didn't get in here in time to join in your fun with FE exchange - but I will SO enjoy seeing all of the ones I am sure to see.

I'm not normally so behind the curve, but we didn't book this cruise until the first of June... oh well

Thanks for all of yoru great posts and advice!

Safe travels Melissa. We'll see you at the Boardwalk!

DH left his droid unattended so I'm attempting to mobile dis. Now I think I REALLY need a smartphone! All I can do on mine is facebook.

Thanks for the welcome

Can you direct me to a particular thread that summarizes the people on this cruise?

Thanks!

5 Days!!!!!!

 

[DVC4US]

Today will be spent doing final laundry , running last minute errands, and final packing.

Tonight we will load the car because we will head out about 4am tomorrow for our drive to Tennessee.

 

[Deb in IA]

That's what I will be doing this weekend, LeiLani! Safe travels to you!!


I took Friday off from work. I'll be packing and repacking, and finshing the FE gifts.

Eric, Jennifer and Mark sing in St. Louis Sunday morning with the choir camp, then they head home. We will do all their laundry and repack, then fly out of Cedar Rapids at 8:30 am on Monday!!

The vacation bug has gotten the best of me! I have moved our travel plans up a day, so starting our drive in the morning. That gives us a little extra time, so we may end up popping in for the BWV meet! See you soon!

 

[Deb in IA]

Forgot to ask - are we still planning on the teens going to the Ice Breaker activity in the Vibe on the first night? I think it is around 9:45.

I will have Mark go, and I'm sure he would like to meet some other DIS teens!

 

[jham]

Finished my kindle case/tote thingy. If you see someone wearing this around, say hi!

 

[Deb in IA]

Very nice, Jeanne!

I still read the old fashioned kind of books, so you may see me with the new book from Laura Hillenbrand - Unbroken.

I can barely pack once. Maybe it will get easier when the kids gets older and my DH actually reads his packing list. I think he has forgotten he is going on a cruise and not a scout trip. He has his scuba log book and certification card and one pair of dress pants.........for 9 nights and two Palo brunches! He says "I will only be wearing them for about an hour. The entire cruise will equal a regular day." I told him he gets anything on them, he can do the laundry. Of course he has packed extra pants now. Men?

Travel safe.

I'm going to try and get my two to go too.

Very impressed. Looks great.

Does your DH have a dive excursion planned? I'm thinking about it... And thanks for the travel wishes! I did back peddle on my ambitious plans of driving straight through, so we will be stopping in SC for the night, getting us to central FL mid day Friday. Still, a day earlier than originally planned. Relatives were pleased to hear it.

Travel safe and see you all very soon!

 

[DVC4US]

Everything is all packed, the car is all loaded, and we will be heading out about 4am tomorrow morning. If I don't get a chance to get on and do the countdown maybe someone else can do it.

I forgot to mention this earlier but it was Brittany's(DD) 22nd birthday today. She spent it with David in Virginia Beach and had a great day. I get to see her on Friday and I can't wait!

Safe travels to you Rob and hopefully we will see you at the Boardwalk meet!

Awesome job Jeanne! I'll have my Nook but I don't have a cool Disney cover.

Wow, it seems that you are all getting ready. Washing, packing, driving or flying down to Orlando, safe trip to everyone and sorry I forgot, welcome to all the new ship mates. And wow, the name tags are great, thanks so much and congratulations to all those crafty shipmates, I belong to the ones with no such talent at all.

We did our 2nd packing this holiday, and wow, we really bought a lot of new stuff. Swiss customs will be very pleased with us, as we decided that it is way too much so we pay customs a visit and pay our dues.

Chocolate is still doing fine, we have a special cooler just for this, and I will hand it over to the staff at check-in tomorrow to handle with special care. And everything just for you. Alena can not understand why she is not allowed to eat those chocolate at all (and hubby neither) .

We had a great time on Captiva, yesterday we went on the Sanibel Thriller, a speed boat and we saw a lot of Dolphins enjoying a free ride along the boat, wow, that was really awsome and Alena was in heaven, finally she saw the dolphins she loves so dearly.

Tomorrow we are on our way to Orlando, we will be staying at the Beach Club resort and tomorrow we are beginning with Epcot. If you here pepole speaking a funny german accent, that might be us .

So a big knuddel to all of you, safe trip and can't wait to see you all very soon.
