[dbug4]

We look forward to meeting everyone! We'll be driving from NC Saturday morning. We're doing Atlantis also via Comfort Inn Suites

Everyone have a safe trip!

Also, can CaryS PM me with their room #. I tried to PM you, but I'm such a newbie that I haven't posted enough on the DISBoards to qualify to PM you...or I'll see you on Sunday.

Dana
gotta pack!

Just saw something intersting on another board.
Apparently the Magic, is stuck in Coz as of 1030 pm,on the 26th.She should have been long gone on her way to CC.Departure time was supposed to be 630 om. The poster was onboard saying possibly some type of mechanical issue.

 

[Disney On A Dime!]

Interesting about the Magic...I hope that everything worked out okay...that trek from Cozumel to CC is pretty long...hopefully it did not cut into their day at CC too much.


I ready for "Plenty o' Rum n Parlay 4 None!"


But I still need to pack some more...

 

[DisneyDreamerK]

I didn't pack at all yet! lol

 

[Carys]

I'm trial packing right now - my FE gifts ended up alot heavier en masse than I realised! I'm slowly whittling down my clothes as well. Alot of clothes I've bought here in Taiwan are probably not quite so stylish in the US - they love glitter, bows, frills, sequins and cutesy prints here, including in their adultwear. I've already decided to leave my favourite orange plaid frilly babydoll top at home It cut it in Hong Kong Disneyland but somehow I don't think it'll cut it in Florida!

 

[laurie from vt]

"Carys", you can wear whatever you want to..even if it is pink and frilly!!!

We are coming down from Vermont and my DH favorite article of clothes is from Carhartt...yes, pants, shorts, shirts....we are rednecks, through and through..(although, thank god, no daisy duke shorts for me)ha ha

I will be sporting a john deere tank top..one of my most fav shirts...we collect antique john deere tractors an are active in outdoor motor sports...

Oh no you don't! I wanna see some orange plaid.......!
Really, no need to be 'bashful' you're with DIS friends.

 

[Disney On A Dime!]

I can't wait to meet everyone! From the orange plaid top to the John Deere shirt...we all have one thing in common...Disney and cruising!


To be quite honest...after all the ironing and sorting of clothes (husband, mine, both boys) I don't know what we are wearing...it's all kind of a blur to me right now! At this point I just hope that I haven't forgotten anything major ...the rest we can just figure out later!


Well this is definitely my last post before we leave...it has been fun planning and getting ready for this cruise with you all!


Now let's gear up and get ready for the rum! I mean, cruise!

I still didn't pack yet.....but I think I need a separate suitcase for my FE gifts! lol

I just booked the Magic Kingdom Dessert Party for MNSSHP on Sept 4th! The ones who are going to MNSSHP on the 4th should book it too! I think they raised the price....but I'd gladly pay whatever the price is for watching Hallowishes with Pistachio Creme Brulee in my hand! lol

Carys I also need your room number!

 

[TiggerTails57]

Packing.........

I also booked the dessert party for MNSSHP night in Oct.

[laurie from vt]

We are going to have a blast!!! I am anxious since I have never been on large boat...ever...we fly out of vt in the morning and will see you all on sunday....hae a great trip down where ever you are coming from...

Hey all! Just checked into the hyatt at the Orlando Airport. We were supposed to have a 5 hour layover but some good fortune came our way and we got on an earlier flight. As soon as we landed we checked to see if we coul get on a flight that was leaving in 10 minutes and they had seats avail!

See you all tomorrow at 3!

 

[IamAnniM]

Well, I checked in on my airlines this morning and was upgraded to 1st Class!!! That's a great surprise already. It also means I don't have to pay to check in my luggage, needless to say, I'm not packing my usual "basics only". Promised myself not to wear anything "police" related!!! It will be nice to put on some earrings and ruffles!!!!
Looking forward to meeting you all - plane leaves early Sunday morning and hope to be on board by 12:30!
See you all at 3PM - take care and be safe, I'm OUTA HERE!

 

[Carys]

Just checking in from the Airport Hyatt too - too excited to seep!! So already up and at 'em. See everyone later today onboard!

 

[DisneyDreamerK]

Hi DisneyDreamerK,

We felt a lot of turbulence around 12:30 or so and I almost got up (but didn't.)

When we got to our car, our battery was dead, so we got help from the Port Canaveral parking attendants and they told us what happened.

Amazing, that the Wonder rescued someone off the Carnival Sensation.

I'll post more later, b/c it was a bittersweet end to our trip and we have so many to thank!

Hope everyone is having a safe trip!

Dana, Doug, Olivia & Claire

Hi all
We are know at BLT WOW!!!
Thankyou all for your wonderful FEgifts it relly made it fun going back to the room .

We happened to be on our verandah last night watching the Carnival ,I thought it strange as she kept turning round but it was us going round her .When they launched the life boat we thought it was an exercise ,Then we heard the shouting "HELP ME "PLEASE HELP ME " HELP ME " I AM OVER HERE " PLEASE " over and over again. .It was something I never want to here again .I am pleased he was saved but what a waste of peoples time and money as he jumped.

Well it was lovely meeting youall strange how you met some people all the time and others not at all.
Best of luck to you all
Janet and family xx
