DISNEY DREAM 5-nights May 29th, 2011

[zimaaaaah]

I do generally overpack a little but I'm really having trouble figuring out shoes this time:

1 - sneaker/ closed walking shoes
2 - sport sandal/open walking shoes
3 - resort casual shoes/ for most dinners
4 - Dress shoes: formal pics/ Palos/ and Victoria & Alberts after cruise
5 - Pirate night footwear
6 - pool shoes

x 2 people is alot of shoes even for 2 weeks of vacation... 12 pairs

2 pairs of walking shoes is a must, we both get alot less blisters and sore feet by swapping out.

We both change to resort casual for dinner... possibly sports sandals could cover this, but he just got some new loafers that he loves and wants to bring and they do go better...

Dress shoes a must... we get dressed up formally on semi formal night, it's worth it for a year of silence from my MiL on pictures, + dressing up for Palos and V&A after the cruise.

Pirate night footwear... I'm giving serious thought to saying we're wearing sports sandals and be done w/ it - but given we're bringing decent outfits.. <sigh> we'll see...

Pool/beach shoes- these take up so little room there' s not point not to bring em..

gah!

What's everyone else carrying shoewise? I know we didn't bring this much last cruise but I'll be darned if I can figure out what didn't come~

Just add a suitcase and bring them all! Makes it an easier decision

Here is the sneak peek I got from my photographers, so here is the sneak peek you get.

We are dressing to the nines. DH owns a tux so he'll wear it semi-formal and to Palo. DD, DM and myself all have gowns. Friends we are traveling with are not going all out but will be dressing up some what. We are also a little crazy with the shoes!!

FYI no shorts for brunch at Palo. DH and BIL were sent back to change!

Our Magnet celebration was fantastic. Overcast but no rain. It's thundering and lightening now, but who cares the party is over.

Still doing laundry for the trip.

BEAUTIFUL!!! Congratulations!!
and for the shoes...I always pack too many but usually wear them at least once. I'm wondering if I can get away with my black heels instead of black boots for pirate night...hmmm, we'll see how much room I have

Hi All, I orders a pillowcase from Gradysmommy back in April, it was mailed usps with a tracking number May 2nd and still no sign of it Starting to get worried that it will not arrive before our cruise. Only 4 more business days with tomorrow being Victoria Day. Has anyone else had any trouble with items shipped from the US to Canada?

Worst case I get a plain white pillowcase & 'trace' the signatures after we get home...hahahaha.

Did you get your pillowcase?
If you do not get it by end of day Wednesday, pm me and I will make you one. Just tell me what you want on it, including thread color and I will bring it to you on the ship. We are leaving Friday morning, so make sure you pm me Wednesday evening or early Thursday.

All day today DS was saying "one week from today we'll be on the ship" and trying to figure out when we are on the ship what will we be doing at any given time. He was SO cute, and he kept telling us how excited he was getting.

My dh keeps saying that.

Not to be a downer, but everyone please keep the people over in Joplin in your prayers.

Is this a good indication that I have our Vaca on the brain?
At the Y this morning and walked by a big sign about group fitness, etc It also said "PIRATE TRAINING" or so I thought.... after a second look I realized it said Private trainng

Anyone need to sign up for an intervention with me? lol

I decided to pack an old pair of dress shoes and some clothes for the beach I really don't care about anymore. Just going to trash them before we head home. This way I will have some extra room in the suitcase....

More room for shopping!

Congrats on your Big Day!

lots of sundresses, swimsuits and old navy flip flops for DD and I.

We do have some nifty Pirate wear for the party... All Capt Jack inspired!!

Dress up night and Palo I did bring a couple nice dresses too wear and DD actually brought several of her dressy dresses...She likes dressing up!

I have one big suite case and Josie has a carry on and then one carry on size will have all out toiletries and some shoes and pirate stuff...Those 3 will all be check in luggage and then DD and I will only have some small bags for the plane. I packed a couple extra tote bags too.:

I can not believe it is almost here...This week is going too drag...Work is just torcher!!!!

Hi Miz Diz, you are so very sweet!! We didn't have mail delivery yesterday due to a stat holiday so I am keeping my fingers crossed. I really do appreciate your offer but you must be so busy with your own packing that I really wouldn't expect you to do that!! I think taking a blank one & tracing onto the one I ordered would work out OK. Thank you so very much. I love this board and the people. You are all so wonderful & helpful and I can't wait to meet you on our cruise.

Here's hoping this week FLIES by!!

hey gang,
looks like there are going to be some big storms in our area this afternoon, evening on over into missouri too. If you could toss some pixie dust, say a prayer, cross a toe, or whatever it is you do to spread good weather wishes someone's way, I'd appreciate it! So NOT interested in severe weather! Today is DD7's last day of school (which she is, oddly, very sad about), and she'll be ticked off if I go pick her up early because there's a big severe storm moving in on the radar!

Have a great day!

my disfriends!

I know my hubby is not sailing with us, but I figured I should atleast post a pic of our whole family..This is from our Christmas card this winter...

Somehow over the years we have all ended up with white horses..

I really do wish Gary was sailing with us...I wish Barb would have cancelled sooner! UGH!

Wow!

more days.

Yippee!!!!

You know, I just can't get any work done. Don't want to start anything, since I really won't be able to finish it by Thursday (Driving down on Friday). Just thinking and IM'ing my DH about silly stuff, like do you think DS will want the bunk or the Murphy bed, or what do think we should do about the lovebug stuff on the car.... I've confirmed everything (even the baskets - ha ha). Printed out everything... What else is there to do, except leave!!! I just can't think about anything else. Okay back to filling out my expense report.

The first official fight about packing the suitcases has occured (and I'm still PEEVED about it.....)

I have FOUR people. How the hell he thinks we can manage with TWO 'large' suitcases is beyond me. That only includes clothes, because apparently we don't "need" to bring anything else. No hairdryer, no toiletries - maybe he can brush his damn teeth with SEAWEED but I WONT. We HAVE brand new luggage - enough for what we need but NO - he has to give the 2nd largest bag to his mother. His same mother that when I said "let's buy OUR parents all suitcases for Christmas HE didn't think it was necessary. We bought my mom a set. She's not calling us telling us she's out of room and needs a bigger suitcase.
WHERE the HELL am I supposed to put the FE gifts, the tylenol and toothpaste- and apparently I don't need ANY make up or medications.... What about the kids DSi's, autograph books, the FE and pillow cases?????? Bet he'll find room for HIS new camera though!!!!!

We do have one very large suitcase in the basement- it's the biggest we have and I can probably fit both kids AND my clothes in that ONE but NOOOOOO...... he won't "lug" that big thing around. Seriously??? Because the only lugging YOU are doing is to the car and then into the van that is picking us up. Disney and the Airline is lugging it the rest of the time.

FIVE DAYS until I TOSS MY HUSBAND OVER THE SIDE OF THE SHIP...................
