If anyone is staying in the Hyatt, & using Disney bus to & from the port it will cost at least 150.00 round trip using the Disney bus

You might want to consider renting for the week & driving to the port.

I have a question for you seasoned cruisers. We have scheduled the following excursions and wonder if we should do these or just look at the sites on our own.
Skyride to Paradise at St Thomas
Under 2 Flags at St Maarten
Snorkling on Castaway Cay

We have talked with some people who say to go on your own and get a cabbie at port.

No more FRIDAY's left for the countdown!!!!
My kids are very involved in the days remaining, I am sure they are driving their teachers nuts!!! I am so packed except for the last bag for all of the last minute stuff. I want to load op the car!!!! and leave today!!!

I have to thank all of you on this board for your shared excitement and enthusiasm. We are looking forward to meeting you all and the kids can't wait to go to "school" on the boat! I was initally hesitant about the cruise meet but definitely plan on attending now!

Awesome news on all of the AWESOME news! Getting a little intimidated with all of the runners and walkers! Health and Wellness! Nothing more magical than that! CHEERS!

See you all soon!

Earlier tonight I had my girls working on decorating the (gift bag) fish extenders for our group.....

Wow SO cute!! I couldn't imagine what you were talking about when you said you were getting bags. I should pick one up too, not that it would be decorated as nicely as those though. Totally on my list to do, I have some leftover from our wedding I think, I should get one of those.

DH and I spend an hour dividing up tattoos, magnets, and stickers for all the kids. Adults too. There were a few things I could only get some of, like the magnets so those will have to be shared, one per cabin, but you only have one fridge at home anyway:> Hopefully that’s okay.

Just kidding!!

The magnets are a hot item at the office, Actually everyone will/should get 3 magnets, a Camp Rock set with 2 attached, a Hannah Montana Word magnet and a HSM 3 Frame magnet. So hopefully enough to share, just not one for each kid
I did have more girly tattoos than boys ones but through in some other fun stuff, Hopefully all the kiddos will be happy

OK, I'm hoping to make some serious progress in terms of packing this weekend.

Only thing I have ready are the gifts for the exchange. How come it's easy to do the fun stuff but the packing just doesn't seem to get going?

I have only heard from one person re. corrections on the gift distribution list. If I don't hear from anyone else by tomorrow, I'm going to assume that it is good and I will print these out.

Right now I'm wishing I had more time to get ready. But of course, that's silly, because even if I did I'd still procrastinate 'til the last minute. Only a five more days until we're off to Orlando!

It is wonderful to hear that we have so many cruisers celebrating life. I am sure many people, like myself, have had to deal with family members with cancer. Not all of our stories have happy endings. It is uplifting to hear your success stories. It reminds me that all of our daily problems are nothing compared to what all of you have gone through. It also reminds me to value my family and give them lots of hugs and kisses each day!

See you in 1 Week!!!!!

Very well put Jodijo! Congrats to all those celebrating!!! And good luck with the packing everyone! Just a few more days to go!

Anyone else not packed yet? Can't believe we leave in just a little over two days. I have so much to do.

But I'm getting excited. Just wish I liked packing.

Packing is almost done. Two suitcases is very restrictive. I guess that will curb the overpacking that I tend to do. Our flight is around four on Wednesday. Downtown Disney will prob be what we do when we get in that evening since the parks close so early.

 

[lovesDCL]

grizbuzz, don't worry! i'm not fully pack either! i still have laundry to do tomorrow of clothes that need to be pack! but the bright side is that since we both pack until the last minute when we are all done packing it means its time to hit the road!

 

[Daleh]

Oh my word! We leave tomorrow for WDW I do need to get the packing started. Finished the FE gifts last night. Knew I forgot something. Just kidding I always wait till the last day to pack. with 3 grandchildren in the house, it works better not to have suit cases sitting around, as they don't like us to leave. See you all soon. Drive or fly there safe.

I have one large suitcase on my dining room table that is 3/4 full. The rest of the table has assorted clothes, shoes and accessories. (my table is 96 inches long) The chairs are pulled away from the table and on them are various bins, stuffed animals and back packs. And this is just my stuff and the girls' stuff. I think I can do it in 3 suitcases....but we are allowed 4, so we will take 4!
We will finish the laundry and get everything packed tonight! I was so far ahead of the game and now I feel like I have lost so much ground.....

 

[lovesDCL]
