That's a really good price.

That's what everyone else said. Now you know why I'm tolerating LGA! LOL Kathy

I made a very exciting vacation purchase today - laundry soap ! Whoopie! I also found stain remover laundry tablets at the dollar store. Since we're going to be on the road for fourteen days, including four travel days, I figure I'm going to have to do laundry at some point.

I did consider flying down because SW had air fare from Philly at $100 roundtrip. This is an excellent price. But then we'd have to think about other transportation and watch our packing (ie pack less) and decided maybe it wasn't all that great.

Ginny- I'm also getting ready to pack....Im so excited. Alll of my children are having Bday parties this week, and all of the new clothes are going in the cases with tags still on!

Sandygirl- This is my first trip without carriages, etc. and I'm wondering how Im going to carry everything without my"wheels:!!!!!!

nuts4snoopy- Im also from Brooklyn, and Sheepshead Bay is my old stomping ground, but my DH displaced me first in Queens and then out on LI.... at least the beaches are nice here!

Can't wait to meet everyone.....sooo close now!

Bye for now, Cindy

Cindy: I know what you mean. The stroller baskets are always a great place to carry stuff. I bought a jogging stroller last year large enough to accomodate DD and it HAD to have pockets and storage! I think for our trip down the shore I have just substituted paraphanalia for paraphanalia. Buckets, shovels, jump ropes, books, water bottles, nail polish, hair bands, you name it we are taking it! Someday I am walking out the door with a towel and a tooth brush. I'll probably be 80 but the day will come!

I'm leaving in the morning. Everyone have a great week!!!

I also never recieved anything from Disney about the shore excursions. I do have the booklet from our last cruise, and I also have looked on line and nothing has changed. I may book my excursions next week.

My 8 yr old is harassing me about Parasailing, I told her I was afraid to go and she started saying she was also, but without me she can't go and don't you think we should face our fears together. LOL
Now my 12 yr old is saying she IS going parasailing and going alone. When I ask her if she is afraid her answer to me is, afraid of what, riding above the ocean with a parachute attached to me and a life jacket on, yeah mom real scary.
Nothing like a 12 yr old putting things in perspective for you. I took my little one to the park last week and I went on the swing and I got pretty high up and when I was slowing down I got a little motion sickness feeling, that is when I decided I wasn't real sure about parasailing.

Well we are at 7 weeks until the cruise and 8 weeks until school starts, figure the second one will make everyone moan.

Have a great weekend
Good Night

[nuts4sn00py]

You were right Joanne, I moaned! LOL. My kids go back on 9/8 so this Cruise will be there last hoorah. they were lucky this year as they got 2 vacations. They are returning tomorrow from a week in Lake George. My DS has already said he would rather go back to Lake George than go on the Cruise. I wonder if he realizes the cruise is a vacation for the adults, they are just getting to tagalong! I'll have to see what he thinks after the Cruise. Anyway, have a good nite everyone & "talk" to y'all tomorrow! Kathy

Hi Everyone!

Hope everyones weekend is going great!

I have 1 question DFIL has refrigerated medication. I thought I read somewhere that we can request that a refrigerator be brought to the cabin. Is that correct? His medication is very expensive and he is a little nervous about it. Can anyone help?

Thanks Carolyn



47 days

 

[Mary Anne]

I think I have read that also about the refrigerator. I would call DCL now and see what arrangements they can make. I'm sure they will be most accommodating.

Heads up to everyone staying at the Radisson on 8/27.... I just read on another thread that they added at 10 AM shuttle to the Port so I called and it is true.. I was able to switch mine and my sisters reservation to 10AM.. so you guys might want to call and do the same...

Ginny

 

[Mary Anne]

I just called! We're on for 10 am too! The girl didn't understand why so many people knew about it so quick! I told her I had know idea, it just kind of came to me to check LOL

 

[admepo]

I have had such withdrawls!!! Our cable modem is on the fritz - and the cable guy can't get here to fix it until Monday afternoon so it is on sometimes and off most of the time so I have not seen these boards since early Friday morning

Bobby - Great job losing the pounds so far!!! Hope I have your luck and can do the same on my diet!

FL residents... Also driving up to the port the morning of! I am hoping we get to the port in about 4 hours...not looking forward to the drive on I-4 at all though....

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend - I am going to post this quick before the modem decides it doesn't want to work again!!! Hopefully I can "talk" to y'all again soon!!!

Is there anywhere to purchase a disney cruise scrapbook besides on the ship? Family wants some scrapbooks made so I was looking to start putting some stuff together now and add pictures when we get back. Thanks about the fridge response. Aunt is calling on monday. I also read about sharps container. do they supply those also if you ask?

Thanks Carolyn

 

[Mary Anne]

She sais she just may cancel the 10:30 and move it all to 10:00..

It would also be a good idea to paint the shuttle green, lime green

Anyone have any idea how many people actually fit on the shuttle?

I hope not! We're on the 10:30!! I think I'll stick to that. My husband thinks THAT is too early. I'd rather hang out at the Port than at the hotel.

Bought shoes for the boys today. We got water shoes last week and they went on sale today, so I'll be going back for refunds.
