It is over 15 hours. We leave here at 6am (on the plane but leave home just after 4am) then it's 1hr and 45min flight to Brisbane (arrive 7.45am) then leave Brisbane 11am and it's a 13hr 15min flight to L.A. With the time difference etc, we arrive 15mins after we first depart On the way home we arrive two days after we leave - that took some explaining to the kids! It's gonna be a long flight with the two kids - hubby likes an aisle seat so I'll be stuck with the kids on one side of the plane and he'll be on the opposite row pretending he's on his own. I won't allow the kids to sit next to a stranger on a plane.

It is 7.56pm on Thursday night here and according to the Mac's clock it is 3am in L.A. Sleep well all.

It's Danny here (the Aussie husband!!). Are you flying QANTAS? If so, hope there's no further disruption.. Where in QLD do you live? Make sure you bring some of that summer weather with you!

Got our cruise documents yesterday too....only problem was they mailed my nieces tags to their addresses and I don't trust my one sister to get them packed and with them. I asked if they can just resend the tags to my address for their luggage and they said it's a $50 charge per person and they have to resend the entire party! Guess we'll hope they get packed

It always feels like I should start packing when the luggage tags get here!!!!

my TA just called to tell me we have got our Doc's

her parents are not comfortable with two women and three children (one of them theirs) roaming around Cabo. yet they are okay with you taking them out of the country, on a ship, for a week???? That sounds weird.

You are right! Weird. She must take after her mother. The scarey thing is I will have the weirdest daughter (of the four) traveling with me! I am ready! Mickey, take me away.

I am sure you will manage very well to keep everyone happy

If not I will be wrapped up sleeping out on the deck! Well, maybe somewhere in the spa, now that I think about it!

Nope, not Qantas! Hopefully their disputes won't spill over to other airlines.

I'm in Townsville and even though it was overcast and very humid today, I still managed to get sunburnt - and I always wear sunscreen! I don't care what it's like in L.A I know we're having snow in Montana for Christmas and that's the only weather I'm looking forward to.

A White Xmas sounds like fun! Obviously Australia is not the place for that and sadly neither is LA! I'm quite fair and would always burn in summer down under, but the sun doesnt seem as severe over here so you should be OK.

Got my DCL booklet with Luggage Tags in the mail today! Love Disney mail!

hey shmoo your so cal. where if ya don't mind? also we are 3 doors down on deck 2...

[bnalexander]

We got docs today too.

Interesting how they send them to each of the families, not the lead name on the cabin. That means they have three mailings to us. I have mine. My daughter here in town has hers and her two sons. Now I have to check to see if the granddaughter in California got hers! Wow.

BTW, that story Costco gave me about the docs going there first was so much bologne! They came straight from Disney!

 

[TimandMellie]

Hmm...I wonder why we haven't received our docs yet. Once they arrive, I'll know it's real!!

I started making our FE last night. I found an awesome tutorial online, and I'm just hoping it turns out. And I found some great ideas for gifts! Once school gets out in two weeks, I'm going to be crafting away!

[Jackson's grammie]

no docs for us yet. I'm sure they will get around to everyone eventually. Told Heather its because she works for the Mouse and he is trying to decide whether to let her out of her chains for a week.

 

[katds10]

Ours came today (we are not Castaway members). Now we just wait patiently for our stateroom assignment!
