Hi again, Amy! I just got you into the Yahoo group -- sorry it took so long, but I hadn't been online until now. Please take advantage of the database we have set up there, with everyone's travel party and hotel info. Also make sure you check out the calendar, which has all the DIS-meet info.
And just for the record, you are among compulsive planners here... so don't worry. Tell everyone else to get bent.
And my little boy, Tyler Dean, will be turning 8 during the cruise. At the risk of starting a whole flame war, I will be allowing him a little slack in the reins this time. We have used two-way radios for almost a year every time he goes to play down the street, and he is very comfortable with how they work and how I expect him to keep in touch. Plus, he knows the ship like the back of his hand... I don't worry about him getting lost.
But I'm not going to give him run-of-the-ship. We already talked about how this will be for limited things -- such as him being in the lab but wanting to go to the arcade for a little bit. He will call me when he is leaving, call me when he gets there, stay for a little while, then go check himself back in and call me again. He also knows that he gets no second chances on this... he forgets to call, and that's the end of his fun for that trip. I've also told him that I'm going to have CM's watching him (little Mommy lie there) and if he says he is going to the arcade and they find him wandering around somewhere else, he's in big trouble. And no being near the pool by himself, ever.
We'll see how it goes... he's pretty excited about it, even with it on a limited basis, and I think he'll do fine. Okay, let the flames begin.

Hope to see you in the Yahoo group.
Even flying in the day before makes me nervous... I've lived through enough flight delays and lost luggage trips. I wish I could fly in two days before, just to be safe. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!
