So excited 6 days till we board 2 days till we leave rainy England

Packing was a bit of a task because I wasn't sure what to pack for our 3 night stay in LA. So we have all gone for jeans, leggings etc....

I'm not quite sure what to pack, either, since the weather seems a little sketchy. But luckily for me, I am driving, so I think I will pack a little bit of everything, JUST IN CASE.

Keeping my fingers crossed that you are not headed to rainy Southern California!
Still calling for showers on Sunday (it can't rain - it's Oscar Night!).

I am going to log off here now and say see you in a few days

We leave in the morning, we are all soooooooooo excited

I will hopefully see some of you at the meet. See you there

OMG I can't believe it is soooo soon! I am having trouble packing, not sure what to bring for "day" wear. I am likely only during 1 excursion so lots of time will be spent on the boat! Still debating about the Sea of Cortez Snorkel and Exotic Rasual. Most likely going to cancel both but not 100% sure yet. I guess I should decide soon, we only have 4 days left!

So I got the kids packed last night (we leave in less than 48 hrs) and my fiance and I will pack tomorrow- it's such a good feeling!

We are completely resigned that it will rain while we are in Disneyland- and cold but at least warmer than it is here right now (highs are still below freezing and lows in the teens).

Unfortunately today we were issued a winter storm warning- snow starting tomorrow afternoon and heading into Thursday. I know that sounds minor but us here in Seattle can't even handle a cpl inches of snow (our city literally shuts down and people abandon their cars).

So I am freaking out right about now, and hoping that one, we can get to the airport on time and two, that our flight wont be delayed.

Happy thoughts!!!!

 

[Twinkledust]

Does anyone know of an anti - rain/snow dance that we could all start performing right now?

Keeping fingers crossed for all who are traveling soon! On the bright side, there are some truly hysterical mickey and minnie ponchos that can be purchased at Disneyland.

Oh we still have our bright yellow Mickey ponchos we bought years ago! They have come in quite handy and boy you can tell we are coming from miles!

It looks like the weather will co-operate for us to at least get out of here...no storms for the next few days, so I'm very happy to see that.

Hi Little Mermaid!
Just wanted to remind you that if you wanted to book your excursion or spa treatment prior to boarding the ship, you need to do it in the next 2 days (at least that's what it said when I went on to reprint my signature page this morning).

This time next week the early diners will be in their dining rooms!

 

[IndianaPrincess]

Safe travels to all as everyone starts heading west!!!

Please No Rain for the Sail Away, Dance--->

4 More Days! Woohoo!

So excited as we were able to switch our Palo ressie from Pirate night to Day 5 yesterday So no more rushing to get in line to change it onboard. Although, it is at 7PM right in between the early and late show--hoping we can make the show, esp if it is Toy Story according to the navigator's I've seen... Anyone know if they will have matinee for our cruise week? I thought it was awesome to be able to choose between 3 shows but, noticed the 2/6 week navigators didn't have the matinee option.

I feel so behind on the packing! We haven't even started!!!
We have our docs, passports, and pirate costumes together... I guess that was important to us? Lol!
Can't wait to see you all soon!

Pam & Family

P.S.
Great idea on the rain gear, I honestly didn't expect to have to prepare for rain!

Newbie here!! We're sailing with you too!! My husband, son (3.5) & myself. We're SO excited!!! This will be our first Disney cruise!!

What a coincidence! We certainly do appreciate it as my hubby was ready to cancel our Palo dinner for the whole pirate night experience. I had my heart set on a romantic dinner and so glad we can take part and I wasn't looking forward to rushing on our first day!

Thanks!

Hi OCmomx1!

This will be our first Disney cruise as well! We are so excited but, between all the tips, tricks, and trip reports on DISboards I feel like we are as prepared as we can be! So glad to have found this community!

Now, it's only the seasick potential that has us worried as we have never been on ANY cruises but, are already ready with a deposit for the next one!
