December 11, 2004 Eastern cruise thread

My DH has just surprised me with a 12/9 cruise on the Wonder for our 15th wedding anniversary :love: (DS7 is staying home with Grandma this time). :smooth:

Did you all know that as the Wonder sails back from Castaway Cay on Saturday, it passes the outbound Eastern Magic? Apparently that takes place at about 11:00 p.m. I have seen a picture posted on this board, and I hear it is pretty cool to watch the "two ships pass in the night."

We will be out on deck looking for you as you head out. Have a great cruise :wave: and don't forget to wave.
 
:badpc: <----what I feel like doing!

still trying to figure out this picture thing...

Is it December 11th yet???

5 more work days left for me wooohooo!! It's going to be a long week though, have a lot of late nights this week.. which means less time on the DIS boards :guilty:

Have a great weekend everyone, just think after this weekend, we'll be cruising!!

DS actually asked to go to bed earlier last night so that we would be one day closer to Disney! We leave on Wednesday, so now just have 5 more days. ::yes::

We are doing the same thing with the Home Depot Mickeys. I was going to also put our screen name on them too. Are you?
 
I am going to that way people know who I am, just in case they don't know my real name. And I will put my screen name on my mom's and her real name. Why not. Doing the seven day dance!!!!!! :cool1:

What is everyone planning on doing while on board? What is the one thing that everone must do or have while on board? I know I MUST have the creme-brulee. I loved it.

Good for DS for even being able to SLEEP, I know I'm sure having a problem doing that. In fact, it's to the point where I'm afraid I'm going to get the question from Angela: "Are you stressed over something?" :)
 
This is supposed to be fun let the stress go..Yeah right who I am to talk the QUEEN of stressing. Good luck with tht.

Jen :earseek:
 
Speaking of what you are looking forward to.....

I went into Williams-Sonoma today and right on the 1st display was a package for sale for Molton Chocolate Cake.....

All I could think of was the lava cake that someone mentioned previously. I want that and....I want the souffle at Palo.....I WANT...I WANT.....I WANT and the best part is that I CAN GET because it's a Disney Cruise!!!!

I am worse than the kids!

Just about an hour and a half shy of 7 more days until our plane takes off!!!!
 
I wish we were leaving that early. Our flight does not depart until 9 something. Late I know..but with work that was the best time for both my mom and me. Hope everyone has a great weekend if I don't get on here. I have to work on my extra credit paper.

PGOOD--did you get my PM about the book.

Jen :flower1:
 
Jen - I got your info about the book, Thanks. I just answered the PM. I was off this afternoon and went socializing and shopping. Nothing better for a Friday afternoon then relaxing. I got the rest of my shopping completed and am now all set!!!!!

The other thing I want is one of the "foo-foo" drinks that you can get right when you go up to Deck 9!!!!

If anyone wants to find me, I'll be by the pool with my drink!
 
One week to go. Time to panic.

I need to get a haircut, buy new tennis shoes, buy some new button down shirts, get my photo gear in order, my laptop repaired, the oil changed, buy some underwater cameras, map out my travel plans, find some post-cruise WDW tickets, find my spare eye-glasses, start my photo-journal, hand-off work tasks, put a stop on mail and paper, shake off a few pounds before the cruise, kindly ask my wife to pack less, make night-before hotel reservations, figure out any excursions we might want to take, get some film, visit Home Depot and do the Mickey lime-green paint chip thing, pay the bills before I leave, and ...

did I miss anything?

Sam
 
Sounds like you covered most of it, but remember a ride to the port!

I started packing and it's all over the office floor..now I just need to remember to shut the door or the puppy will have it all outside!

Does anyone remember which are the formal/semi-formal nights?

I too am going to HomeDepot this weekend to get the mickey chips.

I got water cameras at Walmart (they had a whole bunch of kinds). They also had coca-cola cameras (not underwater) for only $3+. I bought some of both for the kids.

I've got to find my underwater cover for my digital camera....haven't used it since the last cruise!

Starting to feel like Willy Wonka.....So much to do.....so little time!

I'm driving down, so I'm good there. If anyone sees a white Suburban with a DCL tag, honk - it's me. :)
