Dream a Little Dream: May 8-12, 2011

[ameliaforte]

Wow - lots of chatter on the thread today! Very cool

I fully planned to do some yard work this weekend, but it was too windy to rake. Well, I could have raked, but the leaves would've blown all over the place!

Sooooo, I decided to work on my FE gifts, instead . Much more fun than yard work. My plan is to focus on them when I take some time off with my kids during April vacation. I think I've purchased all the items and now I just need to craft and assemble the rest. I'm looking forward to making them all - I just hope they don't take up too much space in my luggage.

Back to the grind tomorrow, but. . .
ONLY TWENTY ONE more workdays until we fly to Florida

yard work!!!! i have to figure a way to get my tires out from under about 5 feet of snow!!!! the studs have to be taken off by april 15!!!! we put them on the side of the garage but never got them in there before our first snow and they've been out there since. it has been melting though.

WE ARE 30 days out from our Disney Trip!!!! I can not wait...and yes as of today packing will start. I am going to packing some of the stuff I bought for our Trip. I can not believe that is is Finally here.

Also I can not believe that our group has hit over 900 posts. That is so cool. Just wondering if we will he 1,000 before it is time to leave.

Everyone be on the on the look out for the Disney cruise docs. They said we should have them by 21 days out maybe even sooner. So keep your eyes pealed for them.

I got cruise documents today

by cruise documents, do you mean the baggage tickets?

 

[MemphisMickey]

That is not fair. My sister is TNGoofy and she got her cruise documents and I didn't today. We only live a few streets from each other. It just isn't fair. I want my cruise documents too.

It's a binded castaway club booklet which includes luggage tags.

 

[MemphisMickey]

Okay sister you have to do the happy dance now.

hey! i got the luggage tags and a magic express booklet! where is my castaway club booklet?

 

[luvdamouse91]

Amelia,

Check the voucher inside. Magical express is for the airport to the parks. I got my packet for this last week. Hoping cruise docs come soon!

 

[mickey4]

Main I got nothing...I want Disney mail too... I hope we get ours this week. I could use some Disney mail right about now.

I am going to start trying on the summer stuff this weekend. I can not wait to see what still fits I hope it all does. But you know how that goes. I have been trying to lose a few pounds here but we will see how well that works out.

By the way I love the fact my ticker is counting down WEEKS. It feels so real now.

 

[anetnmike]

wow!!! some of you all are already doing the doc dance?!

I am going to have to start staking out my mail box!
I've never received mine before the 21 day mark. It would be SO COOL to get them so soon - woo hoo!!!

 

[anetnmike]

Don't you hate it when clothes shrink over the winter???

i got luggage tags and ME for the hotel. not taking ME from boat. i still want the castaway club booklet...will i get that soon or not at all

 

[WAHkoMom]

No Mickey mail for me yet

But, we booked through a TA, so kind of expected a time lag for the cruise docs. I will continue to wait patiently

Is anyone else taking Disney transportation from MCO on the 8th? Based on what I've read on the boards, if we check in at the terminal early enough, we can get a nice, low boarding group number. But, I've also read that your boarding group number is based on the arrival time you picked during online check-in. Soooooooo, I'm not really sure what is the best way to get a low boarding group number, but I'm hoping that Disney transportation gives us "the edge"

Ok when we took the bus you checked in at the hotel for the cruise...we just got to board right away. But we were like the last bus to arrive at port. So this time we rented a car and we plan to show up early. I can not wait. Today I got most of my work shifts covered for the trip. I only have 2 more to work with and I am done. I can not wait. Once we get thru this part the Trip will feel real again.

 

[babbk]

I didn't even know I would get documents in the mail. Probably a good thing to know. But, I have not received anything yet

 

[withrow13]

I am not sure how to time the boarding thing. On some of the trip report posts they are saying the terminal is getting really congested as more and more people come, but they haven't started boarding. Then some folks who are arriving later are walking right through all the steps and onto the ship.

Hi Everyone! I posted a while back when we booked and have been MIA ever since. We moved so I am just now getting back into the swing of things. We are almost at the 30 day mark! WOO HOO

 

[Clochette nordique]

We got our luggage tags today

the first post in this thread now has a direct link to this post, showing the disers on the may 8 - 12 sailing (thanks, branv!):

I've got these sorted by your disboard username, and i'm hoping to post the names of everyone in your stateroom ("cast") and your hometown, along with any special occasions you are celebrating.

Please send me a pm if you don't want to be included in the "registry" or if i do not have you included. After chatting with some other folks, i think we'll leave stateroom numbers off this post.

So we have been busy and not sure of our trip actually happening. Added ourselves to the list for the trip! Since we booked through a travel agent will we recieve our tags via her or in the mail? We will be traveling from MCO that morning early. Will we be ok on boarding? We have an 11:30 boarding time. Flight gets in at 9ish.
