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!

I know Alyssa is planning on going. She is also planning on coming to the DIS Meet at 3pm to hopefully meet some teens and make plans to hook-up for the Ice Breaker.

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.

Andrea - sounds like you guys are having a great time. Hopefully we will get to meet you at the BWV meet. Have a great time in Orlando!

Does your DH have a dive excursion planned? I'm thinking about it...

DH and DS are both registered for the scuba dive excursion.....on both cruises. My DS says "It's not like the fish stay in the same place." He is thrilled because it is the company that films some or all of "Shark Week."

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!

Travel safe.

And Happy Birthday to Brittany!

I know Alyssa is planning on going. She is also planning on coming to the DIS Meet at 3pm to hopefully meet some teens and make plans to hook-up for the Ice Breaker.

It is "mom mandatory" to attend the Dis Meet. So my teens will be there.

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

What a great idea! You are so talented!

Andrea, our DD Jennifer is SO EXCITED about the Swiss Chocolate!
She loves Toblerones, and she can't wait to see what she gets!

Can't wait to see you all soon!

We made it to Tennessee. The cabin we are in doesn't have Wi-Fi so I'm posting from my phone. Probably won't be on the DIS much this weekend but will try to check-in some. Have a great weekend and safe travels to anyone traveling.

 

[TrustMeMom]

Enjoy your weekend and safe travels to you

I'm jealous of all of you already on vacation. Especially those of you at WDW!!! I'm going to really miss not going to the parks! I am still home packing and doing laundry. Even though only two of us are cruising, I still have to pack for 6 people going to 3 different places.

This afternoon, now that it is too late to book anything, DH decided we need some excursions. I am fine without any but whatever! The two we agreed on seem to still have room so hopefully we can get on when we get onboard. We will try to do the Blue Lagoon beach day and the Castaway Cay walk and kayak.

Does anyone have a spare Fish Extender? I ordered one on Ebay and it was supposed to arrive yesterday or today, but did not. we are leaving tomorrow so we will have to leave without it.

 

[rjpete]

my DW asks, "Any Ideas?"

You need 3 pockets? I can try and make you something tomorrow. It proba bly won't be too fancy but should be doable.

Up and almost ready to go this am. Heading to typhoon lagoon today. After we watched fantasmic last night went to star tours again. Coachycp said he heard there are like 54 versions. We saw an awesome one lasts night. Better than our first. I think there were some lapses by cm yesterday as fp line was as long as stand by at times during the day. Got up to 120 minutes. Ok here cw up so better get moving.

I'm not sure if you found something for your FE. I sent you a PM although you are probably traveling now! I do have "something" for you that will work. I will get it to you as soon as I can after boarding.
