It's exciting to check the 10- day weather forecast and know it implies to your vacation looking good so far

Formal wear....Check

Just placed my order for formal wear for the week. I was tryingon my clothes and found that since I have been losing weight for the cruise, alll my nice clothes just hang on me. So rather than buy new in my limited time....I have rented. So be on the look out for a penquin in the Caribbean.

Hi all

Well I have just finished packing, got the children & DH off to bed. Its 11pm here, we have to be up in 5 1/2 hrs for the 2 hr drive down to the airport. We are soooooo excited. I kept telling the kids "we will be at Disney World tomorrow night"!!! It seems so surreal! mind you, that doesnt include the fact that we are travelling forward around the globe, & actually taking close on to 24hrs to get there LOL! :-(! See you all in a week or so. Love the Aussie crew XXXX

You'll look so dapper that everyone on board will think that you are surely a celebrity!!!

I had not thought of the 10 day forecast now applying to us. Wow, it IS close!

Congratulations, Christopher for your weight loss! What a great feeling!

Kaddismum - Safe travels! Hope you all are not too tired when you get to Disney World! See you in 10 days!!

itutorfortravel - Congrats on getting so much done! I hope to get bags packed this weekend!!

futureDCLPrez and heymickeyheymickey - My girls look forward to meeting you. I was going to send you a private message so you can contact my girls on FB, but your account is not set up to receive messages. Anyway, hopefully you all will meet at the Vibe in just 10 days!!!

To everyone else....we can't wait!! Happy packing!!!

Kimberley, hope your daughter is feeling better. had a sinus infection myself for 2 weeks and an antibiotic knocked it out for a week and then still lingering. Can't believe I will ever be better in time to sail! Does take awile to clear up.
Almost done choosing clothes and shoes! Only this weekend to pack and then back to work for 4 days and sail!!!!!! Oh, forgot spending night before at Hyatt in the airport.
Melody

Safe travels to all those leaving this week!!! Enjoy your travels.

Thank you Melody She is feeling okay just trying to get rid of the cough and congestion...no fever though so we're good!

I just finished this morning choosing all my outfits and shoes. I am packing much lighter than I have in the past. I almost have it all in my bag and there's still lots of room! DH is going to be so proud

I am also trying to get it all done this week because I am working 4 days next week, too, including the day we leave!!! I will have a sub while I am gone so I had to prepare for that too. I really hated being out for a week, but I explained when I was hired that I already had had these plans for over a year and it was a big trip for our family. So they've been great. I just hope I survive all the work that has to be done to be out of work! And I'm only part time!!!

Just booked a stretch limo from LBV to Port. Should arrive just before noon after liquor stop.

Hoping my new pirate hat arrives in time.

Temperatures in the Western Caribbean are warm but not blistering:

I saw the temps on your map yesterday and they look great! Sounds like you are wrapping up final plans to get to the port!

I am 99% done with packing for myself and DD. I am going out today to pick up a few more things that I realize I need to get, but hopefully these last minute runs to the store are winding down.

I printed all my travel docs yesterday and have those organized. We're coming down a few days early so I wanted to have all my hotel confirmations printed and in order.

DH still has a few loose ends to wrap up, but that is the way it always is since he works long hours...I try to help him with as much as I can, but it never fails we are up finishing his packing at midnight the night before we leave!

...DD still has no clue

 

[Chrisd12]

First let me say to all of you.....Have a great trip !!!!. I am truly jealous as I count down my 148 days until I sail on the Fantasy. I have a favor to ask, if anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated. As part of my FE gift, I would like to make a photo album for a Hidden Mickey scavenger hunt. I have read that on previous ships there is a list of clues that you can get at guest services. If someone could please get one for me and either email or snail mail to me, I would appreciate it. Again, have a great trip, and thanks in advance !!!

I will make a note of this but I'd be afraid that I'd be too tired by these times... then again, I might have a second wind...

Sounds like lots of fun! We'll have to see if our DD is up for being in the kids club that late...and if I can stay awake that late!! Ha ha...

Safe travels to you Christopher!

Understandable. Just out there for those who wish one or more evenings to chat about the day. Can be for a night cap and chat or for those who desire just the start of the evening.

Those of us on 2nd seating dinner will not be finishing dinner until about 10 30 most nights. And I did put the Pirate night for just after the fireworks and up on the same deck so as to be more convenient. ANd the 745 is in between dinners so hopefully those who are not night owls can make one of those to say hello along the week.

 

[Nana G]

Thanks again Chris for all the coordinating you have done. We are 1st seating and not very late night people, but will try!!! Do you think the 7:45 works for 1st seating?
Safe travels tomorrow and enjoy your Dream cruise!
Kimberely, I need secret keeping class from you!!!!! Amazing feat to pull off!
I plan on spending Saturday putting all that is on my dining room table into a suitcase and weighing it. Then Sunday- taking most of it out and trying again!!!!! Go to work tomorrow and then only 4 more school days! Now that is exciting.

Hi Melody! I honestly don't know how I have managed to keep this secret! But it's actually been a good thing for all of us...we've all remained a little more focused on the present-day instead of letting the trip consume our every thought - something that DD and I fall prey to very easily - LOL!

Christopher, thanks for the reminder about 2nd seating at dinner. I had totally forgotten about how late that ends! We have 2nd seating. I LOVE it! Don't feel as rushed when we eat later. If they are still doing dine and play, perhaps DD will go to the kids clubs and we can venture to the adult ones!

-Kimberly

 

[Had2disneycruz]

Safe travels, Christopher! We will be seeing you soon! Have fun on the Dream! Thanks for organizing everything! I am sure we will be out clubbing in the evenings! We are 2nd seating as well.

Everyone here is starting to get really excited about next week!

 

[Nana G]

Doesn't next week sound wonderful!!!!!! Got an email from hotel today reminding us of our overnight. As if we could forget!
