February 14, 2008 Roll Call 2/14/2008 Valentines 3-Night Wonder

[scottie]

I am home from my very successful poker run! My group (dad, uncle and me) went to 11 different stops and covered 95 miles by snowmobile. We won a rib dinner and a walleye dinner!

I have arrived home to find no documents.... which is good becuase then I would have really had some explaning to do to DH.


Do they leave your documents at your door?? or Mailbox. If it is the mailbox I'll have a bit of a delay there seeing as all of my mail is being delivered to the post office.

Great job on the poker run!!

The last couple of sailings we used travel agents and they have always been delivered to our door via UPS or a similar carrier from the agent. If you went direct thru DCL, I cant recall who they use to ship to your home. I believe it is some sort of priority shipping still. Hopefully someone else can help answer this so you will be more prepared!

well,

My papers must have come sometime this weekend! I found them on the counter last night after I got home from a super bowlparty (hubby didn't go because he has a small cold).

He must have brought them inside!! He did not open them and did not ask me about them!! Now I have some time this morning to fill them with the "regular cruise information" that Disney sends out advertising their cruises!

Have a great week everyone!! Only 10 more days until we set sail!!!

I am so happy that everything is falling right into place for you. I am not sure that I (or any of us) have told you how lucky your husband is to have you. Planning an entire wonderful trip like this as a complete surprise. I keep telling my husband to feel free to follow your lead while we are on board. This is his response Well, it never hurts to try.

Can you believe it is only 10 more days until we will be boarding the ship of dreams?

 

[nkkilala]

Well the trip preparations have started!!

I had my hair cut, colored and styled today!!

I received some of the things I ordered from the Disney Store (including 2 shirts for me, one for hubby, and a new purse!)

I've started setting aside the outfits we will wear and will start packing Saturday after work!!!


I am SOOOO ready to be out of this cold dreary weather!



Hueydewielouie: feel free to let my husband know how lucky he is when we see each other on the ship!

 

[scottie]

I plan to pull the suitcases out of the closet Saturday and begin the packing by Sunday. Weather reports looks like we should be safe with shorts every day and maybe one pair of jeans just in case. And of course the usual dress clothes for the cruise dinners. Cant wait to celebrate Valentines day in Palos!
I decided to have roses delivered for an early valentines gift to my wife at work this coming Thursday so she could enjoy them for several days before we head out on our vacation.

I have started packing!! My DD5 is almost all packed and my DS2 is done! It's almost time! This week is going to fly by for me! I asked DH what time my mom should get to our house to take us to the airport, and he said - " I don't know." I asked what time our flight was, again - "I don't know. I haven't looked at any of that you planned everything." That is so unlike him! He is usually the one to do all of the planning and I am the one saying "I don't know" I can't wait to see all of my planning come to life! KWIM?! If anyone is intersted, here is what my kiddo's will be wearing on the ship... It's the first quote.

Way too cute. I love them Now, just so you know, my family will be sitting as far from your family as possible at dinner (and any where else on the ship) so my little guy does not pale in comparison to the total cuteness of your kids. I so should have come over and had you taught me how to sew. See ya soon.

I can't see the pictures. I have been having that trouble lately. I can't see most of the pictures that are posted. I'm sure they are super cute though!!! I started packing yesterday also. I am trying to take as little as possible, but I'm having a hard time with what to wear based on the weather. Do you think we will need pants too, or just shorts???

Does anyone know how it works at the port with your luggage when you are using a private car service to get to the port?
In my docs I got these DCL luggage tags that have our room number on them. Do we have to bring our luggage on board or do they take it at the port?

Our car service said they pull right up to the drop-off area where the porters stand. This is the same area you would pull up if you were driving your own car. The porter will take your luggage from the driver and wisk it away behind the scenes and you can head inside to complete registration and relax. I would guess most all transfer companies have rights to pull up to the drop-off area.
We plan to settle up with the driver at this point also and tip the porter for taking our luggage.

Thanks, I was hoping that was how it went. I did not want to lug everything around!

 

[scottie]

Just ran across this... here is a link to the Port Canaveral site that lists most of the car services that are authorized to drop people off at the terminals.

Very funny! Of course I've made all the sets, but I'll be lucky if I get her out of her bathing suit during the day! Her dinner sets should get worn though. Your DS is cute enough - without the homemeade clothes! Such a cutie!! You can't sit that far from me, I'm going to need you to save me from the insanity!!

Hey, I just looked at my online reservation and we got changed to the main dinner seating. We had been on the waitlist so I guess it does actually happen sometimes. I had called several times about this but was never able to get it changed. The last time I called (about a week ago) they told me to wait until we got on the ship. Just wanted to give anyone else who's hoping to get changed a ray of hope.

 

[scottie]

Just got confirmation from my agent that documents will be sitting on my front door today... about time, but HAPPY none the less!!!

Great to hear! I think you are one of the few and far between that are able to get flipped before the cruise date... way to go!

 

[scottie]

Weather reports are looking pretty nice for our vacation so far!

 

[scottie]

I'm an outside travel agent, and my documents for this cruise came into the office yesterday and the manager is sending them to me today.

You are a travel agent, cool! Does that have many perks when traveling?

I got mine yesterday! Not much in them, but it is still nice to have them in hand.

I'm glad to hear that someone's dining waitlist came through. I called and checked on ours, and we are still on for late seating. I'm hoping and praying that we can get early once we get there. My kiddos will never make it that late.
