August 28, 2004 "LOST AT SEA" Cruise

[sandygirl]

Hi everyone!

I blew all my previous plans for the cruise today! We were originally staying at the MCO Hyatt on Friday night and taking DCL transportation to the port in the morning...now we are renting a car and driving to the Radisson for Friday night and leaving the car there for the week. We will shuttle to the port and back and then have the car for our weekend visit to WDW. It actually ended up being about the same amount of money.

We were originally thinking of not getting all decked out for formal night. Then I saw this dress on-line and couldn't resist it! LOL Had DH check his suits for fit since he lost almost 40 lbs. Nothing fit well. So I talked him into renting a TUX on the cruise! Can't believe he went for it. Now I have to figure out what DD is wearing.

I have had my reward card for some time now and just add new points to it as I need them. I used it at Christmas time in WDW towards our room charges and then again in Apr at Vero. Works really well. I go to the CC website and just download them from there.

So, I guess I will see some of you at the Radisson! And just look for the good-looking guy in the Tux on formal night, I'll be with him!

For those spending a few days at Disney before the cruise, the Wide World of Sports has the AA Atlanta braves team playing that week. Monday the play the AA Yankes, Wednesday the AA Phillies and Friday the AA Tigers.If you have premium annual passes, it's free to see the games and it really is an enjoyable couple of hours.

Mary Anne - thanks for this info. What time is the game on Wed? My husband might like to go see the Phillies play. Can we use a plus from the PH to see this?

I'll run this by him tomorrow.

The game is at 12 noon. If you don't have a car or don't want to drive be at the bus stop by MGM entrance @ 11 am or 11:20 (the bus runs every 20 minutes) to the entrace at WW of sports (do you realize how sick it is that I know that bus schedule LOL ) This is the only bus service that runs to WWSports. If you don't use it you'll have to drive.

I'm don't think the plus will get you in but the tickets are really cheap only a couple of dollars and well worth it. You literally sit right on the field if you get box seats. If you go for lodge (even cheaper) you'd be in what would be box seats in a Major League Park.

Darn, I don't think we'll make a noon start time, since we will be driving in that morning. Even if we stop on the GA/Fla border we'll have to push in the morning....and I'll be on vacation, so I'm not rushing...

 

[Mary Anne]

Well keep it in the back of your mind, just in case.

We're thinking of going there for the Monday game and the Friday game after we check out of the OKWest and before we check into the Radisson.

I have plans that Wednesday to meet up with some Internet Friends from Liverpool so I won't be at the Wed game, but I'm assuming the men in my group will.

Since we're only going to be there two nights, this trip to the World is dedicated to 'doing things we haven't done before' so visiting WWS would be perfect. In my fourteen visits, I've never been to a waterpark either and we have spare Plusses for that.

We could go Friday but I'm not sure if any us want to see a Tiger farm team.

LOL. Plus we need lots of SAB time.

I was able to get the dockersin Burlington Center Mall's Sears for my DH and then today I went to the Moorestown Mall Sears with my mom and got some for my dad.... Both stores had tons of them left.

I was originally planning on purchasing suits for my three sons for dinners on the cruise, do you think dress pants with a shirt and tie would be appropriate? (ages 13, 10 and 7) I would hate to spend all that money for one week of wear. (LOL) I never did lose a single pound...instead I gained weight(discovered a thyroid problem) so I need new clothes for the cruise in a slightly larger size. I am trying to find a suit that FITS DH.

No Documents yet......


I am really looking forward to meeting everyone.

For tropical night...I purchased disney tropical shirts for the Guys and a disney tropical dress for me.

Trying to figure out how to pack for the week before and the cruise, normally not a problem, but e are not driving we are flying.

Sorry so long....

Don't forget you are looking at AA ball. It may be very possible that some of these kids might eventually be traded to your team down the road. They are years away from the Majors.

Then again it's more then possible 99% of them will never see a major league uniform :lol

I purchased a Disney Tropical Dress also. Did you get the blue one with the Minnie's doing the hula? I also got the matching Tee shirt. I couldn't pass them up for $35 with shipping.

I haven't decided whether I should bring my blue Hawaiian shirt because everyone will have it or if I should leave it home because everyone will have it.

Hi Everyone! Thanks for all the PD & well wishes for our Block Party. While it rained early in the day, we were still able to have it! Everyone had a great time & more importantly the kids really had the best time. I am worn out, so here I sit with my feet up chatting with my DIS friends. . I really need to start getting it together, after reading all the posts about who is wearing what, I realized I may not have enough dressy outfits. Oh well, a good reason to go shopping! LOL! Since I'm not sure the kids will be eating with us every nite, I just bought my son a couple of pair of nice dress pants & some nice short sleeved shirts & sweaters. My DD has 2 pairs of pants & 2 skirt sets she can wear, + 2 dresses. Funny, I have no idea what my DH is bringing for dinnerwear. Guess I'll have to look into that this week. Still can't make up my mind about Palo, all the dinner rotations sound so good that I don't know if I want to give up one of those nights for Palo. Oh well, no matter what I'm sure it will all work out! Still no docs. for us yet either! Went thru DU, I wonder if they'll send me an e-mail before they send my docs. Anyway, hope all of you stay healthy & be prepared for many questions as the Cruise gets closer! Kathy

Lynr & Karel - I have a feeling quite a few of us are gonna look alike on Tropical Night... like one big happy DIS family... My group of 8 will all be in the light blue minnie & mickey tropical outfits from disney.com too.

Heads up to anyone who needs clothes.. Kohls is having great sales.. I got 2 pairs of capri's, 2 shirt and a skirt for $58... cant beat that.

I also got all my kids school supplies, backpacks, etc... all bought so I dont have to worry last minute

There goes someone mentioning that s word again LOL

This afternoon while I was cooking my dinner, I was hungry so my son and I read all the menu's for the week we're on the cruise!

Started my pre-vacation cleaning today and actually made a dent in it.

I've made up my mind I'm not going to kill myself ironing stuff before we leave. I'm going to do it all at the OKWest that Thursday night or if I run out of time just send it out to be pressed once we get onboard. I figure no way will it all stay pressed being in a suitcase for a whole week before we get on board so no reason for me to kill myself before we leave.

Thats exactly how I feel. We'll be flying down the day before, staying at the Radisson the night before, so no way will our clothes stay wrinkle-free. I'm going to send everything out to be pressed as soon as we get into our cabin.

I still can't believe the cruise is less than 5 weeks away!!!!

I had about 8 pages to catch up on. its great to see everyone is getting back to good health.

Ginny: I went to KOHLS as well, today and spent some B'day money. Great sales!! School shopping OH no... Thank good ness my kids wear uniforms...Kathy: come on,, do we really need an excuse to go SHOPPING,,lol ?Lynn: I think that is the same dress and skirt my sister bought.. It will be so funny to see al the DISer's in that print!
We are going to WDW on Wednesday, we are so packed with activites. Marty has never been there before.
AAA Has all the documents in order. We have a paper to fill out for Bahamamian immigrations. Is that because of CASTAWAY CAY?? Did anyone else go though AAA? and get documents yet?
We can't wait to set sail.

One month from today for us.

We went through AAA and we should have them within the next day or so.. The TA has them and said she would be sending them out to me early this week..

and I agree with you... I never need a reason to SHOP!!!
