Celebrating Easter 2011 on the Magic

[queenbee99]

My dh is going to give me ALL kinds of grief when he gets here...I am trying to come up with something to say to him and well...I can't...I can't possibly NEED all this stuff. We leave in 2.5 hours and dd is still clueless...we are telling her we are going to the beach after her Easter party, then Friday we are doing AK, then Saturday we will tell her the good news!! I am SO tired...am I supposed to do anything online before I go? Just need our passports right?

I am stressed too!! Finally finished packing pulled out the cameras and the charger for the underwater I bought last time we cruised is missing. Hopefully DH can find it tomorrow because we are leaving as soon as I get home. He and the kids are off.

Fish extended gifts sound great. I just finished packing that. Took up more space then I thought. I think I WAY overpacked. We've never brought this much luggage anywhere!!

3:00 sounds great for a meet. See everyone then!!

I am notoriously an overpacker and think I have made a new record of too much stuff. But seriously it all adds up with 4 kids - casual, dressy, swimsuits, etc. and add on the FE and easter bunny surprises (which take up almost a suitcase themselves) and my DH will flip too - worried we won't fit in the car with the suitcases and people!

See you soon - hoping we make our flight - just learned Obama is fundraising in Los Angeles and is scheduled on a flight an hour before we leave LAX for Orlando tomorrow - last time he left LAX he jammed of LA traffic for HOURS with his motorcade - praying his secret service people do a better job and don't stop traffic on the fwys or near airport. Just a little surprise for our Friday travels!

Did you do the online check in that is on the DCL reservation pages? It's supposed to speed up boarding time. They also have the cruise contract documents and credit card documents available for you to print and sign before you get to the terminal...just to speed up check-in...

Typing on iPhone. not fun dd is so excited for her trip to the "beach" hope it does not backfire on us. hope you don't have issues flying.

Oh we would be fast friends. I won't admit how many belong to dd. she hasn't see any of her things. She is going to be so excited, i hope they fit.

I am praying for SUNSHINE all the way. I finished packing or shall I say overpacking! I'm waiting for DH to come home so we can weigh the suitcases.
I was blessed with 2 girls and I LOVE to dress them!

Yes I did, I think I got 11:30. They sent me that book before I did though.

Thats the time I got too!! Maybe I'll see you there? Sorry about the traffic...I might get a job in Houma...is the traffic any better there?

 

[queenbee99]

It took us 1 1/2 hours to pass thru BR. UGH. Are you going earlier

Earlier? Never been to Houma but do not like BR traffic

Possibly earlier...I have to drop my dog off at the kennel at WDW but its a 2 hour drive to WDW from my house and then off to PC...and I know I'm going to need coffee sometime before that...hopefully I'll be there by 10:30 or 11:00 am.

Just wanted to pop in and thank everyone for all of their advise in planning our first Disney Cruise. It was a fantastic experience and will certainly not be the last.

My son LOVED all of the little goodies he received in his FE. Sadly, someone took the magnets that were put on the door

I did not put our names on the tags but do hope everyone received and enjoyed what we distributed.

Thank again, everyone. We hope to see some of you in 2013. Eagerly awaiting the itineraries

I also want to say thanks to everyone for making our first Disney Cruise and 1st FE an awesome experience! My children loved coming back to see what was left for them. The gifts, especially the homemade ones, were awesome!
I hope everyone could use our gifts, too!
thanks!

DITTO!!
Thanks for all the FE goodies! Our 1st Disney Cruise was fabulous all the way around! Sorry your magnets got stolen...PM me your address and I will send you another scroll one. I had 2 extra!
My DD was all into checking the door every 5 minutes. She has filled the red album and the CD with pics already.
Did anyone book another cruise while aboard???

PS-My house just stopped rock yesterday afternoon!!!
