Counting down to May 25, 2002!

[IrishCowboy]

Less than 4 weeks to go!!

We're still waiting on cabin assignment and documents

Anyone have all of their excursions picked out? We're going to try to do Capt Marvin's/Stingray City excursion in Grand Cayman but haven't decided yet about Key West or Cozumel. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

 

[callahanjulie10]

My BIL knows Key West and has plans on where we will be going-

Cozumel- we have a horseback riding excursion to the ruins planned with Shoretrips.com and then we will take DD back to ship if she doesn't want to do some typical tourist buying. I know SIL wants to do Hard Rock to get some pins for a friend.

In Grand Cayman, we have rented an 8 seater Jeep from Andys to take us EVERYWHERE! I would like to swim with the stingrays but DD or DH isn't real exicited about this since both of the grandfathers have been stung by a stingray while out fishing in the Bay. I just can't seem to convience them that this will be different! Oh well...

Does anyone know about the times on Grand Cayman? Is the time DCL lists as Grand Cayman port time actually GC time? This I do need to know....

Look forward meeting everyone!

In Key West we will do the Old Town Trolley Tour on our own (not through DCL - a little bit cheaper). We used this company when we went to Washington, D.C. last September and really liked the fact that it took you to all of the sites and you could get off and do your own thing, then hope back on a trolley to the next site.

In Cozumel, I think we are going to take the cab to Chakannaab and then do some tourist stuff in town (I too have a friend that collects hard rock pins so I have to get her one from there.)

In Grand Cayman we will do the stingray thing and the tour of the island. This is the only thing we booked through DCL because it had a little bit of everything.

Sure are looking forward to seeing everyone.

only 25 more days!!

 

[twinscandc]

Only 18 more days for us (spending 7 nights at WDW b/f cruise)! We cannot wait!!

The green ribbon....where did you find this? I have been looking at the fabric store and all they have is wide ribbon and the color doesn't really look lime green.

I haven't looked at the "curling" ribbon like you put on packages. I guess that might be my next option. I thought about putting them on saftey pins so we can put them on our shirts or backpacks.

Any suggestions?

Also, has anybody been keeping track of the DIS children for this cruise and their ages. I would like to see the run down.

For us it is:

Mark - 34
Becki - 33
Caitlyn - 5.5
Courtney- 5.5

Hope to see all of you there!!

Yes!!!! I started packing two weeks ago things that I have bought and I do not want anyone to wear until cruise time!!!! My sister's children, (nieces and nephew) are Amanda (Mandy) 10, Virginia 9, and Dylan 5. Only 22 more days. Can't wait. I am so excited.

[twinscandc]

I started packing about 3 months ago!! Not really packing, packing, but putting things in a laundry basket that I didn't want to get lost, etc!!

I need help: We will be at WDW the week before the cruise - Would you pack for the whole 2 weeks? That is a LOT of clothes for the 4 of us!! Would it be better if we just packed for 1 week and then did laundry before leaving WDW?

Since it's only about two weeks away for us (16 days to be exact!!). After my garage sale this weekend, I'm going to start ironing things and getting them in suitcases!!

Thanks for the list Callahanjulie!!! It looks like we have a lot of youngsters to play with!!

I do not know if you were asking me, but if I were you I would pack for one week, plus essentials for formal nights and stuff for the cruise and do laundry before you head out to the cruise. That is a lot of clothes for two weeks, and I do not think that you want all that luggage. I am envious that you are getting two weeks though. I would have loved to do that, but we can not take that much time away from our businesses. Sounds like FUN!!!!!!

Julie,

Thanks for posting the list of kids. That is great. I know what you mean about packing. I have had two suitcases sitting in my room now since January. I have been putting things in as we go that i think of (film, water cameras, spray bottles, etc.) This next weekend I am going to get serious about really starting to think what clothes are going.

We will be gone for a total of 18 days and I just don't know how much clothes to pack.

thanks again,

Pam

Hi everyone! Glad I found you. This will be my first cruise and the board is a wealth of info. Looks like our two kids (Natalia, 5.5 and Vince, 4, will have lots of company. We'll be at the Radisson on Friday night, as well.

How many formal outfits do I need?
Thanks!
Allison.
