February 25, 2006 Western Magic Cruisers!!

NOw about the online form not taking your flight info... I'm thinking that Disney wants to know if there are any flights coming in that morning so they can keep watch and make sure everyone gets on board. Maybe, Maybe not, but it's a thought.

Yes, I think you are right Sally. We could not load our arrival flights in since we are flying in on Friday. At least the rest is done. . . .

Happy packing all . . . .

 

[MoiraRD]

I had to fudge our flight info as well. We are flying in on the 24th, so they wouldn't accept it because the date didn't match the info they had in their systems. I changed the info to leaving the 24th and landing on the 25th. They accepted that no problem! I think they are more interested in it for the people that Disney is driving to the port. We rented a car, so there will probably be a few people wondering why it is taking over 24 hours for us to fly from MA!!

 

[MoiraRD]

So who is going to be the lucky one to get their post on page 100 first? We are almost there! We can do it!!

Geez, I need this vacation! I should be worrying about how many pairs of underwear to pack for the kids! Not who will get the first post on page 100!!

Hi everyone...I certainly hope I am not 100, there are much more deserving people than I.

Moira,
Lets try to meet at the middle of baggage claim, it looks like a oblong box. I will be looking for your mickey. I am not sure what I am wearing as yet but I will try to let you know on Friday AM. Are you using park n fly? We are leaving early, I am afraid of lack of parking as it is the end of Mass vacation week ( and the beginning of ours ) Don't want to miss that plane.

Jeff,
If you would be so kind to post that schedule one more time so I can copy and print it, I would appreciate it.

Anyone else feeling a tremendous amount of pressure as there is sooooooooooo much to do before we leave? I did find time today for a pedicure so we must be leaving soon!

Hi Kathy!

That sounds great. I'll post the outfit info for us, too. Haven't figured it out yet. We are actually being driven by Le Limo, so we don't have to worry about paying a fortune to park for the week. We are being picked up at noon and should be there for 1 or so. I'll check with dh and let you know. See you Friday!!

 

[MoiraRD]

I will be looking for your mickey.

Just wanted to let you know that mine is pretty plain! Just look for Mickey with MoiraRD in rose - looks exactly like my avatar. Will be wearing it on my jersey.

Congrats Moira! You made the 100th page on our thread!

dreamakermom,

I hope your DH is alright. I wouldn't spend the $$ on the ship's doctor. I read in our old Passporter book that it's a good idea to call your Health Care Provider and ask what could be covered by your plan. Let DH know he can always make himself at home in the hot tubs. There's at least four to choose from. And, he could get a massage. I fell on the stairs yesterday and am nursing a boo-boo hiney, arm and shin. That just figures is all.

To all who asked - Norman, Joshua and I will be at home on Friday too. We don't fly out until 7:15 am on Saturday morning. Looking at the weather for the 5 day shows snow tomorrow or Friday, and Sunday. Looks like we're going to hopefully slip in the middle and just have high winds to deal with. Send pixie dust for the Shabby family from Enfield.

Did everyone remember their autograph books for the characters? Don't forget either that you can take your own pictures with the characters, not just the DCL pictures. Bring plenty of $$ for the pictures. DCL usually does a great job.

Now it's a race to see who will be post #1500!!!

 

[SallyB]

Thanks to whoever it was that recommended the lemon lime airborne.. It's awesome! Dylan had his grape today and I had the lemon-lime and they are like drinking soda. Not bad at all! We are taking one dose a day from now through-out the trip just to be safe. He hasn't gotten sick in forever it seems but I'm not taking any chances!!

Do you all have what seems like everything including the kitchen sink packed? ALl the recommendations are killing me.. ha ha From the different boards I mean. I have suction cup hooks and an over the door shoe organizer for EVERYTHING under the sun, and lots of airborne, ziplock baggies, antibacterial wipes (ALOT OF WIPES..lol), But ya know.. guaranteed if you dont take all this stuff you'll need it. lol

I EVEN FOUND CLEAR DUCT TAPE!!!!!!!! How cool is that? I have no idea why we need it but someone somewhere said to bring it!

I can't wait for my first Pina Colada

 

[Edinafabs]

I can't wait for my first Pina Colada [/QUOTE]

I'm with ya Sally. Bring on the Frozen Concoctions

Well I hope Karen's DH 's back is better and Kim is doing better after her fall. We have side stepped some medical stuff. We learned on Saturday that DD had been exposed to strep throat and then on Monday I was eating forbidden food-(bad girl, bad girl) (Milk Duds) well, karma got me and I pulled out a crown. Got that fixed up yesterday at the Dentists', and DD is doing fine-no problems.
I took the day off Thursday to finish up last minute things. We leave 7:00am on Friday. Breakfast in Buffalo and lunch in Orlando. Yeah , baby, Yeah!
I haven't been able to find pirate beads or the Hylands yet.
Also, I went looking for our Mardi Gras beads and found much less than I thought we had. Must have been some party last year. I dont even remember giving that many away. Oh well. thats the spirit of it all. Let the Good Times Roll.

[MoiraRD]

Wow!! I never thought I would be the top of the 100th page!

Congrats Moira! You made the 100th page on our thread!
Now it's a race to see who will be post #1500!!!

Thanks!! I never expected it! Let's have a 100 page party on board the Magic!! This is such a GREAT group! I have noticed that there are some threads older than ours that don't have nearly as many posts as we do. I can't imagine going on a cruise with a nicer group!! Can't wait to meet ALL of you!! Let's race to 1500!! One more excuse for a party ( like we really need an excuse!! )

You fib on your flight info..... oh boy, wait til Mickey catches up to you... i won't tell
Congrats on starting page 100 . .................... .

I'm a baaaaaaad girl I promise I won't tell Mickey about that little white lie if you won't!!
I feel bad that I got the top of 100. There are so many more of you more deserving than I. Well, that just means we'll have to talk that much more to make it to 1500 before Saturday!! We can do it!!

OMG!! We are officially leaving tomorrow!! In 35 1/2 hours we will be on our way to the airport. This trip seemed so far away and now it is here!! Yikes!! I haven't even packed yet!! It is going to be a looooong night. I hope those beds at the Motel 6 are comfortable!!

Ok, I have to go to bed. The girls and I are meeting my mother and sister for lunch tomorrow. Met my sister for dinner tonight for Chinese and we shared a scorpion bowl (just preparing for the cuise!! ), so I am ready for bed! I hope I am not this tired on the cruise after one drink!! Someone keep me awake, ok?

Good Night!!

Anyone else feeling a tremendous amount of pressure as there is sooooooooooo much to do before we leave? I did find time today for a pedicure so we must be leaving soon!

Kathy

YES! Please, please, tell me I am not the only one with a trashed house. I am really stressing over it. Stuff everywhere.

A girl from work tonight brought me a bag with a bottleof wine and a bunch of Mardi Gras beads hanging off the bag. It said Bon Voyage Karen!!! Made it real once again!!!

You'll be surprised how well Duct Tape will close a suitcase that gets a broken zipper. In fact there is a site of things to do with it http://www.ducttapefashion.com/
