AGHHHHHHH! 4 More Days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the last Monday before we set sail. Thus, this is my last chance to share a Monday Forget Me Not With the group.
Today is for all of you who have been saying that you are not packed yet, and a final check list for those of you who want to make sure they have everything.

First, a list of Do Not Leave Home without items. Double and Triple check this list, before you leave for the port.

Make sure you have:
-Yourself, and everyone in your traveling party (if you are traveling from different homes, and meeting up later, check in as you are leaving. We do not want any 'Home Alone' incidents).
- All of your parties travel documents - Printed signature forms, and any forms needed for those traveling with minors (debarkation permission forms, legal guardian forms, etc....these do not apply to everyone).
- Official Identification - Passports, divers license (these are needed for everyone over 16 with a drivers license), birth certificate, foreign id, etc.
- Spiral bound travel booklet Disney sent in the mail.
- Confirmation for any parking reservations.
- Cash in small increments - You will want small bills for things like tipping your shuttle driver, tipping those that help you with your bags at the port (usually $1 to $2 a bag), tipping room service, and on shore purchases.

Plan to carry on:
- All of the above (minus parking confirmation)
- Any Wine or beer (these are the only forms of alcohol allowed - limit 2 bottles of wine, or 6 cans of beer per person 21 and older)
- All valuables (limit this to only what is necessary)
- All medications (only prescription - that have actually been prescribed - or legal over the counter medications)
- All electronics (phones, tablets, laptops, etc...don't forget chargers)...now is a good time to remind you to download the Disney Cruise App before leaving home. Doing so will save you the data usage it will cost to download while on the way to the port or at the port. Also, familiarize yourself with steps to activating app while in airplane mode for when you board.
- Credit cards
- Sun Screen
- Swim wear if you are daring enough to try to get in the water
- Clothes and anything you will need to get ready for that nights dinner (this is just in case your luggage does not arrive before dinner)
- Anything you may want to have autographed (there is a chance you may see Mickey or Minnie during boarding)

Second, a generic packing list for double checking you have everything:

See attached file below. If you can not view, I have a shareable version on docs

And finally a before you leave home check list:

See attached file below. If you can not view, I have a shareable version on docs

My channel is Tink Moments. I think I am almost as excited about it as I am about the cruise! The videos aren't the best yet, but we are learning as we go.

Nice ... we should all pack in time lapse!

What do you mean time lapse, that was normal pixie speed!!!

 

[Angel Rae]

Jenn....would you want to meet up during the sail away? Sounds like our kiddos are close in age. For anyone with preschool or wee ones, do we want to try to meet so our little ones can start to become friendly? Just a thought

I would love to join. Have a 3 year old daughter. She needs friends!!!
Have you decided when and where.
Maybe we can start a PM and swap numbers so we can get ahold of one another on the ship?

My son was excited to hear I received a comment, but when he didn't see it under the video, he said' "Mom, you know you are supposed to get comments with the video!"
I told him, that I was just happy that someone watched it!

That's a great idea. I wonder if we have more parents with small kiddos? Do you want me to start it?

 

[Angel Rae]

Yes! Start a message.

 

[Jenn Thompson]

Yes! Start a message.

Yes. Someone start a PM.

 

[mellvswdw1]

Ok I will in about two hours....I'm a wee bit into packing....I should have followed pixies advice for packing...lol!

Hi from Galveston!
Actually, we have been here since a little after 3. I have been busy catching up and doing some filming.
The weather is murky. Keeping our fingers crossed that it will improve. We had to make a run to the Dollar Tree here by our hotel, and we were surprised to see it was as big as some small town Walmarts.
If you have forgotten anything for your FE, I sure you could find it here.

We will be heading over to Harbor House in the morning. Hopefully we will be able to use our Wyndham perks for early check in. When we called today, they told us to call and check in the morning. I have some bad news though, Dee is off for the next 2 days.
Any who, we are just dropping our luggage and heading out to dinner. I will get the computer out when we get back, and take care of the few things mentioned in the PM conversations.
Have a great night. Only 2 more sleeps (for those who are getting sleep.... as for me, I am to excited)

Is there any thing walking distance from the harbor house like a drug store?

No, don't think so. Just restaurants and bars this time of night. Starbucks may be open.

Any predictions on fog tomorrow?

Any predictions on fog tomorrow?

I don't want to predict, because I don't want to jinx us.
So the magic 8 ball says "To early to predict! ".

 

[pixiehallow]

We are checked in and heading out to lunch soon.
