I was told the first bus leaves at 10am, but I am holding out hope that it will leave sooner.
We're going to get boarding group #93 or something. 
BUT... there's an excitement in taking the DCL bus that we wanted to experience again after renting a car the past couple of times, so that's our trade-off.

Gina,
What do you mean by boarding group? This is our first cruise and I am not familiar with how the process works.

When you get to the terminal and check in, you'll be given a card with a boarding group number. When the ship is open for boarding, usually around noon-ish, they will start calling those group numbers and people will board in that order. The lower the boarding number, the sooner on that beautiful ship!

Gina - good to see that you are feeling better.
I need to get in gear. I have not yet packed and I hope to make my fish extender tonight. I still need to put together the DIS tag gifts but I think I can do that on the airplane if needed. I've got to get that fist extender done this evening.... I just have to get off of these boards.....
Good night and happy packing.

Hi Gina, I tried contacting you through a private message, but it wouldn't go through. Would it be possible for you to contact me through email? it's cupressiana85@gmail.com
I need to ask you something in regard to your upcoming cruise, so I hope you don't mind. Thanks in advance.

Our local news station is reporting a winter storm warning for our area starting tonight till 7pm Friday. We are scheduled to fly out of Indy at 6pm, Friday. We were to leave from home and drive 2 hours to Indy Fri afternoon.
I am currently working on plan B....take the dogs to the kennel this afternoon, drive to Indy this evening ahead of the storm and stay overnight near the airport. I've also got a list of other flights for Friday and Saturday. I have also called our travel insurance company so review all possible options.
Any other bases I should cover?
Boy, am I going to need a sailaway adult beverage!

Yikes!!
You guys be careful!! Wow, what a pain... I may hate the heat down here, but I sure am glad we don't have to mess with all that winter weather stuff. I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you, that everything goes smoothly and you guys board the ship stress-free.

Hi guys! I wish I had been able to do this sooner, before a lot of people left, but hopefully there are still a few of you out there who might have fun with this. It would be a great thing to occupy the kids here and there! The older ones, at least.
My TA was nice enough to include with my docs the "PassPorter Treasure Hunts at Walt Disney World and Disney Cruise Line" book. I thought I'd copy the DCL stuff here, for anyone who wants to have a little fun with them. For folks new to the Magic, this might be a great way to explore the ship! There are also treasure hunts for each resort, so if you'd like that info too just tell me and I'll try and post or email that as well if I get a chance. As far as the answers go, I can post them, email them privately, whatever. Just let me know!
Happy Hunting!

You're going to love this... I can't find the answers! There are sealed "treasure chests" in the back of the book for MK, Epcot, MGM, AK, Downtown Disney, and the resorts, but that's it! Ugh, I'm so sorry... I'm going to email PassPorter and see if they can send me the answers.

We are getting very excited and all the last min things that have to be done.
DD is having her opening night tonight of the opera that she is in, this is a special showing and the standard shows happen the weekend after we get back. She has to drive home from college tonight 2 hours away, she will get home about 1am.
Have to take our little dog over to my dad and all the things that goes with that.
Need to get some fish food so dad can come to our home to feed them each day.
Need to get some snacks for the flight we are taking southwest 6hours and 20min duration with one stop and stay on the same plain, so I'm sure we won't have a long of a stop and of course no food is served.
We are all packed and they are at the front door waiting for 5:30am to come. One large bag each 38lbs and one small carry-on each and one of them is almost empty oh yes a laptop and cameras. I still think we are taking to much, but we will see. All we have to buy once we get there Friday night is hair shampoo and some adult beverage supplies.
Anyway to those of you that have not left yet, have a safe trip and we will see you on Saturday. I home next we goes really slowly.
