Think the book you tags came in is your " ticket "
that's what ours says - to bring the booklet.

Take time to fill out all of the paperwork in the back of that book at home, this will save you time at the pier! You should be getting customs froms soon also, fill them out at home also!

Nothing like getting that close to the ship and then be bogged down by paperwork!

Thanks Wally and Mike!

Whatever you decide is fine with me... I have two of my kids' birthday parties to plan in the next few weeks, plus we have a cub scout sleepover, a horse show banquet, 2 bday parties to attend, and I have 2 kids in basketball, one that rides, and one that does swim & ballet. So a cut-off will definitely ease my mind, thanks!

And make sure you put me down for the 6th! Thanks.

Yeah, I think a cut off is a good idea, too. I will probably pack some extra just in case - but January is a busy month here too and I am not keen on last minute gifts either!

I am curious about tickets. Does Disney or our TA send cruise tickets? We received our initial info package and we received luggage tags last week but we don't actually have tickets!

Jessica - I think I asked for the 8th, too - sea day. Thanks!

I went back and edited the last post and added both of you guys in!

I assumed the cruise contract part where we signed were our tickets but really hadn't thought about it until you mentioned it.

You can also fill out that paperwork online if that's easier... I think there are a couple of pages that you have to print out when you're done.

Im also thinking that a cut off is a great idea. I mean I have to make the FE gifts and such and I will be leaving a week before the cruise to head up to central FL (thankfully my parents live there by the port ) and I grew up there in Cape Canaveral But still it will be hard to get more together when I am up and away from home.

So a little bit about myself....hmm...I was born in Gainesville FL, Raised in Cape Canaveral FL most of my life, My parents live in Cocoa FL and I now have been married for a little over 10 years (yes I am older than I look but Got married at 17) to a man I knew since I was 7 years old. Unfortunantly hubby cant join me on this cruise (and is extremely jealous and happy for me) We have a 4 year old little man who is the center of our world, I LOVE animals...I currently share my house with a 7 yr old cat named Gizmo who rules the roost and her brother is a 1 year old puppy German Shepherd named Harley. I have owned at least one of everything in the past...I used to have a prairie dog named Rufus (who I adored), ferrets, and Sugar gliders (I used to breed and raise them and was USDA licensed at one point). lets see...hmm as you all know this is my sons and my 6th Disney Cruise so you can say we are hooked. Since we are FL residents we have annual passes for Disney world and that is often where you will find us on vacation...either there or the cruise

One more tiny bit of info...the Radisson that is by the port that many people stay at is where our wedding Reception was held at, so it holds a special place in our hearts.

I was born and raised in Merritt Island. My DH and I have been married for almost 21 great years.....we tried for so many years to start a family and thanks to a miracle we finally have our princess Avani who turned 1 in December.
We currently live in Orlando and DH spent many years working for the Mouse.....he still works there a few times a month so we enjoy Disney quite often.
My family still live in Merritt Island so we will keep our car at their house and they will drop us off at the port....nice way to save the daily car parking fees....

As for this florida weather....thankfully we have just one more really cold night then we warm up to where we should be!!

 

[OrlandoMike]

Boy this ship is filling up! Lot's of Orlando folks....

Maybe we should rent a bus to take us to the port!

Hey I also lived in Merritt Island too...I went to Gardendale Elementary Magnet school in 4-6th grade. Also went to some of middle school there before moving to Mississippi for a little while.

Believe it or not Miami is FREEZING this time too...The first time in the 10 years that I have lived here that it has gotten this cold! We had to buy some little space heaters and keep them on 24/7 to keep the chill out of the air. Its crazy! but yes its getting back warmer now...so no more freezing. We even had a poor frozen baby iguana in our driveway the other day I heard you guys had snow flurries one day too

I look forward to enjoying this cruise with you all and hopefully we will get some nice warm weather to enjoy along with it

We also are currently trying for a second baby. Well I was pregnant (the baby would have been born in August of the this year) but just recently lost the baby at only 5 weeks along our first lost which was devastating. The bad part is that it was so easy for us to get pregnant the first time with our son, and we had no issues what so ever with that pregnancy over 4 years ago.So we are hoping for a second child and praying that things will work out. I know that in time things will work out somehow.

 

[wallyb]

wow - I know what a Sugar glider is now!
And a pet prairie dog sounds cool!

 

[tazgirl1981]

Yes the Prairie dog was really cool, He was a real member of the family And the sugar gliders were neat too, but noisy at night because they are noctournal. But watching the joeys in the pouches were pretty cool

 

[OrlandoMike]

We are gonna miss the shuttle launch by one day! It is scheduled to launch on the 7th......

Pour yourself a Tang and ... Get over it Space cadet!

 

[OrlandoMike]

OK if you insist!



Tang is most commonly served as a cold drink, although some people prefer to heat it or add it to smoothies. It can be mixed with Jim Beam bourbon to make a cocktail called "Moon Beam".

I had it rimmed on a glass in a drink called a Moon Shot.
Say - Why do you seem to know so much about mixology Sir?

 

[tazgirl1981]

So how is everyone doing over here? I just spent the last two days working on Fish Extender gifts Im not done quite yet either and I am waiting on a few items to arrive via mail...but so far so good.

Have we decided yet on a cutoff date for the FE's? Just curious as to if I will need to bring things with me to my moms to work on extras in case more people sign up.. Might be kinda hard (might have to substitute if it gets too much).

Is everyone getting excited for the nearing Cruise date?!?!?

Well I am sure you all have tons to do before the time arrives (as do I) but I will have to start packing this next week (since I will be going up to Cocoa for a week before the cruise date) so that is exciting...cant wait to be cruisin with the mouse...and you guys too of course

 

[wallyb]

It going so slow.

 

[islandjen]

Sometimes I feel like it is taking forever for Feb 6 to get here, but then I see a ticker and I think wow only 3 wks to go! We booked our cruise in Oct/09 and I can't imagine booking one or two years out and having to wait that long. I think the anticipation might kill me.

I think we should have a cut off date for the FE. Maybe Mon. or Wed. of this coming wk?

Jen

 

[jessica52877]

I was thinking Monday of this week. If we need to cut off now no big deal. I doubt anyone else is going to come along and book and assume others have seen and had the opportunity!

I don't want add anything else to my plate to do, so running around looking for more doesn't sound like fun at all!

 

[islandjen]

When I said this coming week I meant Mon. Jan. 18.
