even though we have been on multiple cruises, the anticipation never fades. we are all so, so excited. one week!

 

[DMMarla07860]

we are excited here as well, watching the All-Star game as well so even more exciting. And we have two weeks on the magic this being the first so much more exciting

2 weeks! thats so cool. do you get the same stateroom?

 

[Dave and Micha]

We have to change staterooms for our second trip, but only 2 cabins away...

2 weeks! thats so cool. do you get the same stateroom?

we booked the same stateroom, for both

 

[TheLionKing]

I am joining in the excitement as the departure day approaches....

My parents and I fly into Orlando Friday and are staying at the Hyatt.

This will be our second Disney Cruise.

If it goes well, I may look into booking that Baltic Cruise. That would be very fun as I lived in Denmark for a year in 1974 and haven't been back since.

Like how the heck am I EVER going to get us packed and ready in less than 7 days??????

Dollars and sunscreen and cases - oh my!!

DH has no clue as to why I've been a bit tense the last few days.

 

[fabumouse]

welcome fabumouse! glad to have you aboard. i saw you have a 7 year old daughter. we have a 7 year old girl as well. hope to see you at the 3:00 meet so they can meet!

I'm going to make every effort - my DD is very outgoing and the idea of having new best friends from the very beginning of the cruise will really make her trip!!

Dollars and sunscreen and cases - oh my!! DH has no clue as to why I've been a bit tense the last few days.

I'm starting to feel like I need to start a list just to keep track of all of my other lists!!!!

We leave on Thursday, and I don't even have the suitcases out yet! Maybe some of these Disney fairies will magically come and pack them for me? Isn't that included in the price of the cruise?

Another storm watch starting for Thursday - makes getting the heck out of here that much sweeter!!

 

[Dave and Micha]

Hi Everyone...! Well Winter paid us another visit today...snowed like mad all day. Thursday can't get here fast enough! What are you all doing?

 

[WeLuvDCL]

We need to get a countdown started! Let's do it mc2 style!!

5 MORE SLEEPS!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bkfor]

DCL should send a "easy" button when they mail out cruise docs.

 

[fabumouse]

DCL should send a "easy" button when they mail out cruise docs.

So we can push it?

 

[drskw]

Just a few more days and we are off!!! Just in time too, temps are dropping here again with 12cm of snow tomorrow, more to follow. 3 more sleeps and we can't wait!!! WOOHOO

 

[pouncingpluto]

Very psyched here too! Besides normal school work, I've got a special project due midnight on Wednesday, so still no packing for me... but as of 12:10 on Thursday, I'm officially on spring break, and I can worry about packing then. I've already bought my sunscreen and motion sickness medicine.

Then our flight leaves Detroit at 9:30 a.m. on Friday!! An afternoon/evening of fun at Epcot and a night at Boardwalk Villas.

This will be our first time with both of us away from our puppies overnight since they came home in late August. But we have some close friends staying in our house and taking care of them, so it should be really good. And they promised to email a lot of updates.

 

[mc2]

pouncingpluto, I feel your pain!
No packing done here yet - lots of piles, but no actual packing. My spring break doesn't start until the weekend, but we leave Thursday night for the airport hotel (we fly out at 9:30 am on Friday as well). I am hoping that the last minute packing will mean that for once I will under pack (read: take how much I should have taken all along, rather than the 3x too much that I usually take! ).

4 MORE SLEEPS!!!! (2 UNTIL WE LEAVE HOME!)

The anticipation that is building is unreal - it's increasing with every minute that goes by! Even my mother, who was a bit hesitant because she gets motion sickness if she even sees a boat on TV (ok, not THAT bad, but pretty close!!) is starting to get excited! Probably helps that we are going down with a mini-pharmacy in my suitcase - if there aren't enough drugs in my bag to keep her feeling well (+ sea bands anything else we have heard about), there is nothing that will help her!

 

[DMMarla07860]

I'm getting all my clothes packing done tonight, because tomorrow Nets vs Mavericks on tv so don't want to pack then. Thursday will be anny last minute packing, so then friday I won't have to pack anything besides my cell phone and wallet

 

[Dave and Micha]

Well 2 more sleeps and we're outta here! I am finishing my ironing and stuff tonight, then tomorrow I've got a half day and will finish everything else. WE ARE SO EXCITED! Michael got home from his last flight...so he is officially now on vacation. I have to wait til tomorrow at 3:15... ARGH!

 

[fabumouse]

I've begun packing in earnest but have realized that all that extra stuff (pirate gear, electrical extenders, door magnets) has taken over the luggage and there is no room for our clothes!

 

[Cinderella&Dopey]

We're in Disney and Married the weather has been BEAUTIFUL the last 2 days. We just settled into Saratoga. Looking forward to the cruise!
