Mayhaps this is the reason I'm marrying an Orlando lady?

^Rob, you will love Orlando on another level after I play the Book of Mormon cast recording for you on our way to Hershey this week

Also...20 days till cruise!

I plan to be on the Aquaduck at this exact moment. Artifex, you will have a Drink of the Day waiting for me when I get to the bottom, right?

I'm so excited! Two weeks from now I'm off to Disney World and a few days later, it's our cruise time. My friend and her family are there now, and they just called me from the line at Star Tours! This wait is agonizing, but I'd rather be BEFORE the trip than AFTER it!

Now THAT is a plan...I like the way you think!!!

As a native of SoCal, I say Ok to adding one more family.

2 weeks and change!!!

Spent today printing out some magnets for our door. The nieces like the idea that we'll be able to tell our cabin from miles away because it will be "boring door, boring door, boring door... fun door- that's us!"

Have I mentioned that I can't wait to spoil them?!?

I still haven't heard back from the Smiths. I hope they want in... look at us, Smiths! We are so enthusiastic and friendly!

I finished my door magnets and FE gifts! It is going to sneak up on us quickly now!!! I am getting my to-do list finalized today. I like to be very organized (probably extreme) before we leave. It makes me stressed out feeling like I am not doing something or forgetting something if I dont have a huge to-do list in the works. This is going to be sooooo much fun.
I need to figure out what to wear in Remy's. I have a dress I could wear, but I am not sure if I want to or not.

 

[simbasmom2]

Hey... I have an idea! Let's help each other and get a "don't forget to pack list" going. I know everyone wont have the same "needs", but this could really help.

Here's my contribution: wine opener if you will carry-on wine
highlighters for navigators
sunscreen and SPF lip balm
bag for Castaway Cay
over the door hanger
laundry bag or pop up hamper
sunglasses, hats or visors
items that you want autographed
plastic tie to attach FE to fish
sea sick pills, IB, Tylenol, etc.

Who is going to be the today? We are getting close to the 600th post.

 

[BelleBway]

I always do a Mega List before I leave on trips too. One column for things to pack, one for things to do, and notes on things to buy... I'll probably start mine this wknd.

Is the bag from the Castaway Club gift suitable for bringing to the beach? That was what I was planning to use.

My contribution:

Passports
Print outs of important documents (online check in, plane tix, etc)
Prescription meds
Glasses/ extra contacts (if applicable)
Extra camera batteries/ memory cards
Cell phone charger
Any other electronic chargers

I wouldn't have thought of the plastic tie--thanks!

Hmm, how about:

The FE gifts
An extra collapsible bag in case you over buy on the souverniers
Pirate attire
Hair accessories (clips, straightener/curler...)
A cup holder (the disposable kind from McDonald's Drive through) to make it easier to send one person up to bring multiple sodas/coffees down to your cabin
Glowsticks
Mini dry erase board or post-its

My FEs are done and the labels are done--I just need to attach each label to the appropriate FE gift! Maybe I will do that today. : - ) I have cutesy matching outfits for us (Yep, we're those people, rotfl!) but DD's was a bit too big so I just finished altering it this morning!

Yep...I like the tie, that way I dont have to worry about it walking off. Dont forget to pack something to clip it after the cruise. I usually pack scissors and nail clippers...both work just fine. I love it that you have matching outfits!! The girls and I usually wear matching shirts, we probably will this time, too. I plan on putting my hair up a lot due to the heat and the wind at sea...so definately hair ties are needed. My hair always ends up a mess...I don't evevn know why I do it in the morning!

We are getting really close friends

Is anybody doing the champagne tasting? I think I am interested , maybe. The martini tasting was fun last time...we met some cool people who had a suite so we got to see it...NICE!!!

 

[kk92476]

I would love to do both champagne and martini tasting...my 2 favorite drinks!

I went to the liquor store and bout a bunch of nips! When I looked at my pile...I feel like a lush, lol!

Yeah, we're big into the matching outfits!!! My friends make fun of me but I love it!!!

I also have to pack some of DDs birthday presents since her birthday falls during the trip. Most of her gifts will stay home and be opened when we get home but I can't not have gifts for her to open on her birthday! She was just saying this morning that it was going to be her "best birthday ever!!!"

There is a champagne-tasting?! (Is it at the new champagne bar?) I'm so in. I will save you all seats. We did the wine tasting last time and had a blast. Actually, the most fun part of the wine tasting was walking into Up in 3D directly afterwards...5 glasses of wine + flying balloon house + theater full of children at lunchtime definitely brought a whole new dimension to that movie for me... :X

Let's add in a book (or your favorite eBook reader)
Men's jacket for those gentlemen going to Remy
Flip-flops, dressy shoes, and other varieties of shoes in between
Photo mat or pillowcases for characters to sign
Door magnets - did anyone say door magnets yet?
Hairdryer in case you're not a fan of the one in the room
Sunscreen and bug spray

I need to figure out what to wear in Remy's. I have a dress I could wear, but I am not sure if I want to or not.

I am excited about my Remy emsemble... here is my lovely Lilly Pulitzer sale find:

With some fun silver shoes: http://www.dsw.com/shoe/m+by+marinelli+tavern+sandal?prodId=192755&productRef=SEARCH

...and my grandmother's pearl jewelry Silver shoes will do double-duty on semi-formal night! (And probably also at Artifex's wedding next year )

Is Nassau or Castaway known to be buggy? I've never needed bug spray in either place, and I tend to get eaten alive by bugs! I'd better pack some too!

My FEs are FINISHED and in the suitcase!!! : - )

I wouldn't know - I also tend to get eaten alive so I bring some basically everywhere I go and DEET myself to high heaven

I should also point out that DH is a pasty be-freckled Irishman, so in our house SunscreenAndBugSpray becomes one word/a single required joint supply for any venture outdoors....

HEY! LOOK! IT'S PIRATE TIME!!!
