Feb. 7, 2008 3 night wonder...Anyone???

[tinkerbelle77]

Hey Tink, you got it right, the plan is to meet at Topsiders around 1pm, and at sail-away party, deck 10 in the middle section, in front of the Jumbotron. Everyone agree?

That sounds like a plan!!! I will be there for them!

Sounds like a plan if I can figure out where that is!

I'll be easy to spot...look for the redhead with bright blue streaks in it.

Hey

That sounds fine for the 2 meeting points I am in agreement and we will meet at Topsiders if on board by then or at the Deck 10 meeting point at Sail Away party . . .

Will go onto a viewing deck if the Space Shuttle launch is still in place for that time . . .

We are at the Pirates and Princesses party on 2nd feb for anyone else that wants to meet up at that??

WOW!! Our lonely little thread is all grown up!! Page 30!

Welcome tsorensen55! We are also doing the land/sea starting on 2/2! Where are you staying?

Meeting times sound good - if we get there early enough we will do lunch - if not - we will be there for the sail-away party.

We will fly in on Sunday and stay at the Polynesian. We will stay at Pop Century the night we get off the cruise because our airline tickets were such a difference in price to return on Mon. vs. Sun.
I just ordered some groceries, water, etc. from an online grocery store that was recommended in the Passporter. They deliver to your resort. With the airline weight limits and using the Magical Express, it seemed worth the $12. delivery fee. Grocery prices were about the same as here: a 12 pack of diet pop was $4.99 for example. We also got water which we could take any extras on the cruise. No alcohol for sale, otherwise a nice selection. The web address if interested is gardengrocer.com

Out of curiosity - what is everyone doing on CC day? Beach, excursion, ship?

I signed up for the Kayak/Walking tour - still trying to decide if DD6 is going to stay at Scuttle's Cove for those few hours.

What are you doing that day?

DisneyBride talked me into booking banana boat ride for DH BIL and SIL, and Parasailing for DNephew. She is very persuasive you know.

If you call gardengrocer, they will deliver alcohol...We had them deliver some in Feb of last year...You just need to have someone that is 21 present with an ID...They are great!

Banana boat is quite aggressive...I did it in 2006 with the DVC ladies and all of our arms were killing us for days after...And thats after the driver took it easy on us! It was alot of fun, but be prepared to hold on for 30 min at least. The best part of that was the guys went after us, and we tipped the driver extra to be a little rough with them...They spent more time in the water then on the banana! Quite amusing!

Wow. What a lot of activity here on the board! I've been watching but quiet. Got our Cruise Docs 2 days ago here in Baltimore.

Nice tiger picture Jon! (You got my vote!) Looking forward to the spreadsheet!

Welcome, tsorensen55!

We're flying in on Tues, Feb 5. Probably hitting P&P Party and staying at Shades of Green! Then next day at Universal parks. Followed by a stay at the Country Inn and Suites in Port Canaveral. Early boarding to meet everyone!

I haven't been to an amusement park in 3 months, I'm having withdrawl symptoms.

Here's to hoping we can watch the shuttle launch on Thursday! Last time I saw a shuttle launch I was flying down to Miami. (Night launch!)

So many things to do. (Fish Extenders, packing, or yeah work too.)

The excitement is building at our house and I'm sure everyone elses.

See you soon!

Jon

Fingers crossed on paperwork.
I ordered a fish extender from one of the other forum members but my payment has not arrived yet - starting to stress out about it now!!!

Tinks - thankyou but the issue is that she has not received the payment that I sent her! I used a recorded proof of delivery service but it has not arrived, and she will not sent to my hotel until that payment arrives (which is fair enough).

Actually, don't worry about it! I'll ship Tuesday as promised. It's not your fault it hasn't arrived.

Thankyou so much for your message, have sent a PM about this. Please do continue to keep me updated. I will send the payment again and reclaim from the post office here if it does not arrive shortly.
Apologies

Hi all

Feels like a tropical heat wave here in Chicagoland compared to last week!
Received cruise docs today....hoping for great weather on CC day.

I actually feel relieved that I am not leaving this week like some others here cause that would mean ...I would have to be almost packed! yikes!

FYI..I made a list...(TLPL>>no spreadsheets..lol) of our fish extender families participating, and made sure I included the kids and their ages....so when I go make my "deposits" I wont forget what type of extras I should leave etc....dont think the DS13's out there really want Princess Lip Gloss...lol..

I also read on another thread.....who is really going to have time to every night visit all the staterooms and deliver our goodies? Some other cruisers have designated each night(s) to certain people....for instance...we have 3 nights....2 of us one night....and then so on...so we just are done...did I explain this in a manner of which everyone can understand? lol

Any input? THis way the kids can expect something every night/day....
jsut a thought....

I have made bags of the goodies, so I can give them out all at once...It just takes too long otherwise! I really don't have a preference when to give them out, but I would say dont wait until the last night because then the kids wont have much time to enjoy...and your bags have to be packed and outside your door by 11pm...So I would say delivery them on day 1 and 2..and the 3rd night don't...also most people pull magnets and fish extenders off the doors at that point also!
