[rkandmjsmommy]

Stacy sorry about your friend, I agree with Kimberly, focus on Us, we are NEEDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Workout: I hope to get to the gym, its been a bad summer with the kids home and when They go back Sept 3, the gym is my first stop after I drop them off! IF we cant make it to the gym maybe we can have a walking group? I think one deck has a "track", I belive 3t imes around is 1 mile, we can pick a time and if anyone is interested be there, if you cant make it NO WORRIEs! Anyone up for this? We can pick a time? I am thinking a morning walk? A ship is so peaceful during this time!

Miami Vice: YUUUUMMMMM, my favorite drink

Sneaking in after reading just a couple of posts....

I think the walking buddies sounds great! I'm always up for the sunrise anyways while cruising. Any other time...no way!! I am not a morning person!

Kimberly, we have received docs from Magical Express with our luggage tags and transfers, but I have not received anything from the Polynesian Resort. I really didn't expect to receive anything from them. Do you?

Sorry!! That's what I meant. The ME goodies. I have a feeling I better call tonight. I do remember that the first time I made the resort reservations, I forgot to tell them the transfer was needed, nor did they ask. I had called back to make a change, and that CM followed up asking. Maybe it somehow didn't get saved. ???

Yes! I've been 'under the covers' with so much going on...DS4 starting Pre-k (This is a child who has never been out of Mom or Dad's sight since birth) and also have made a few trips to Alabama to see DM70. She had Coronary bypass and valve replacement in June and we've been hoping that she recovers well enough for the cruise. And had to buy a vehicle, and Tropical Storm Fay, etc.

It sounds like so many of us REALLY NEED THIS VACATION!!!

Talk about stress! How is DS adjusting? Mom? Dad?

Yep....MANY of us need this vacation more than we thought we did when we booked!

I really need to start looking at what I'm going to be packing to take with me. Ladies, how many pairs of shoes are you taking, especially for dinner? Are sandal type shoes OK for dinners? That is what I was planning on wearing for most dinners with the exception of formal night. So, I was planning on taking the sandals, sneakers (which I'll wear), a pair of dressy shoes and my water shoes. I can't believe I'm freaking out about shoes! LOL!!!

 

[Elliott's_mommy]

Ok Ladies...those of you who have 'curves'....I just came from Avenue. they are having an incredible sale. I got skorts for $5-$10. They had some cute sundresses for $19. shorts for $10....It appears that they are attempting to move their summer stock to make way for winter items.

Ohhh and keep LA in your prayers...right now it looks like we'll probably get Gustav, right around the 3 year anniversary of Katrina. *sigh* Life just keeps getting better and better. Guess I'll probably need to make sure we have enough water and food stuffs...but if it gets as strong as they are saying we'll run it and go to Texas.

 

[anc22]

Is there anyone out there besides myself who hasn't received documents from a WDW resort you are staying at before the cruise??

I just booked my resort early last week or maybe the week before and I got my resort docs last saturday

We got our Stateroom #6146 can anyone tell me what category that is? We paid for a Cat 8 GTY. Thanks!

That is an awesome upgrade!

Ah...shoes....too many for me! I'm just that way.

I think I'll have 8 when all said and done. And, that's with me having a LITTLE restraint.

I don't blame you for washing them! I'd also take the tags out of the back because tags drive me crazy!!!!!!! I can't stand any shirt that has a tag in it.

 

[Epperbiker]

Drinkin Buddies!!!!

I would like to walk and drink. Hmmm, but this is a morning walk... Aw heck, beer starts with the same letter as breakfast and it's full of wholesome grains!

I am from LA as well...I was 8months pregnant at the time of Katrina...I did not know there was one heading there...I hope not...we cannot afford another one so soon.My parents and some other family members and friends still live there...Many of us moved though..I now live in TX after Katrina even though I faired pretty well after she hit

 

[rkandmjsmommy]

Should we get it put in post #1 (post #6 it will always be to me) or should we see if we can get it on the Disdoubledip.com?

We can set a time and whoever shows up AWESOME!

I got the following from the Passorter page 146! I would still like to set up one for us!

Tip: Walk (or jog) around the perimeter of deck 4- the "promenade" deck. One lap apround the deck is 1/3 of a mile; 3 laps is one mile. Want to walk with others? Check your personal navigator for instructor leg 'walk a mile" morning sessions.

anyone have a prefernece for time?

 

[Buckeye Gal]

DDD Walks at 8:00 am work for me...maybe even 7:45??

Stay safe and be prepared everyone on the Gulf Coast.

I made ME arrangements from Pop Century Back to the airport at the end of the cruise, should I be expecting anything?

Ah...shoes....too many for me! I'm just that way. I think I'll have 8 when all said and done. And, that's with me having a LITTLE restraint.

You should received luggage tags so you don't have to see your luggage from the time you drop them off at your local airport until sometime after you get settled in your room on Day 1. You'll also receive transfer tickets for the transportation itself.

Shoes. Oh. Never enough room in the suitcase! I'm restraining as well by planning to wear the same strapy sandals on the casual nights at dinner and the same heels on formal and semi-formal night.

Copied directly from my packing list spreadsheet:

• Shoes: black sandals
• Shoes: boots (pirate costume)
• Shoes: formal (black w/crystals)
• Shoes: tennis
• Shoes: water shoes

Huh?

Drinkin Buddies!!!!

Whats so confusing? We bought some new clothes for the cruise... I am washing them!

I think he's confused because he tried so hard to teach us to bring disposable clothing, not new!

Drinkin' buddies?! (shhhhh....what's in the OJ stays in the OJ and doesn't speak)

I would like to walk and drink. Hmmm, but this is a morning walk... Aw heck, beer starts with the same letter as breakfast and it's full of wholesome grains!

Okay...you guys have got me to literally laughing out loud today!
