I SWEAR the Wonder is NOT sailing 5/29/2005!

[fljelad]

I dunno! With all the shennanigans Tom DeLay is doing, Texas my have you beat on the "crooked politicians" front!

Do you read any of the guide books? I'm hooked on the Unofficial Guide and I am expecting my Passporter any day now!

 

[Ariel Wanna-be]

When I first started planning our first trip, the UG was such a lifesaver!! For an introduction to DW and for compulsive planners, it can't be beat.

I've since put together my own Disney binder, complete with an outline, touring tips, planning chart, and lots of other good stuff that I've got from guide books and this board.

I posted a thread a few weeks ago about how one of my girlfriends ticked me off about that binder!

 

[fljelad]

I am trying to keep all my "stuff" together until my Passporter gets here but I've already lost one PS! It's amazing how much stuff you "collect"!

Hey, Jack is in Cubscouts too! Another thing the boys will have in common!

 

[Ariel Wanna-be]

If you want, PM me your email address, and I'll send you copies of my outline and tips and stuff. *Warning* you'll need alot of paper to print it!

 

[fljelad]

Whew! I just had a very stressful three days at work (JCAHO if you're in the medical field!) but things should be getting back to normal.

We had our Blue and Gold in February and right now the boys are gearing up for their Pine Wood Derby. That's causing no end of excitement! May will be their crossover so he'll get his badge then. Don't you just love a man in a uniform??

Thanks for the offer on the trip info! I actually have the UG, two Passporters and a Birnbaums so I think I'm coverd!

 

[fljelad]

Just bumping this up so it doesn't lost.

 

[Ariel Wanna-be]

I used to manage a home health agency, so I know *exactly* what you mean by JCAHO!

Only 5 weeks to go!!

 

[fljelad]

I can't believe it's only five weeks! I started saving for this trip five years ago and started really planning more than a year ago. I can't believe it's here already!! Woohoo!!

There's another 5/29 thread out there. There is at least one other family going on "our" cruise...couple with three girls. We're going to have plenty of room to stretch out!!

I can't believe the cruise threads with THOUSANDS of posts!! They must be filled with families or something!

 

[fljelad]

Gratuitous thread to try to get it to three pages. This cruise will be as "popular" as the other cruises!!

 

[shannon1219]

I'll be there! I'm the one that pm'd you a while back, it will be me and my DD 9. We are celebrating her b-day a little early this year. I can't wait. 36d 12h 59min. I have mouse tracks to count it down.

 

[shannon1219]

We are doing the 3 land/ 4 sea package and we are staying at the Beach Club. We have stayed at the AKL and it is wonderful. My DD was mesmarized by it. THe only thing she hated was that they did not allow any balloons at AKL. She had to let her balloon go the first day.

 

[fljelad]

Thanks so much for the heads up on the balloons!! DS loves balloons but I guess we won't be bringing any back to AKL.

I can't believe we're just five weeks away!!


Can you tell I'm excited???

 

[Ariel Wanna-be]

Welcome, Shannon!

I'm envious that you're staying at the BC...we ate at Beaches and Cream, and the resort was beautiful!

Well, guys, let's do a head count: there's Shannon, her DD, fljelad, her DH, her DS, me, my DH, my DS, my MIL, and my SIL...that's only 10 people!

That's about one person to a deck!

I'm soooo glad we're not gonna have to fight the crowds for brunch ressies!

 

[shannon1219]

I am really worried. How will we handle the crowds? I just don't know what to do!

 

[fljelad]

I think we're going to PAR-TAY!!

Is anyone going to bring pirate gear?

 

[Ariel Wanna-be]

I don't think I'll have room to pack it! We're doing WDW for three days before the cruise and two days after, so that's alot of luggage. But, we're planning on going to the Pirate Museum in Nassau, so maybe we'll pick up some stuff for DS there.

Yay!!
The space shuttle launch has been postponed until May 22nd...if it will just get pushed back about one more week, then maybe we'll get to see it lift off!! That would make DS so happy.

Has anyone been able to get their hands on some recent kids Navigators?

 

[fljelad]

OMG, I was thinking the SAME THING!! Wouldn't that be the coolest thing? THAT is something that DS would NEVER forget! I'm sending a little weeklong delay juju to Cape Canaveral as we speak!!

 

[Ariel Wanna-be]

Got our docs today! Time to do the doc dance!

 

[shannon1219]

Did you reserve through a travel agent or straight through Disney? I can't wait to get our documents.

I was wondering why there wasn't a 5/29 thread ! I'll be there with my entire family: my husband and 3 kids (DS 7, DD 4 1/2 and DS 12 weeks!) My sister and her family (DD 5 and DS 2) and my mom and her boyfriend.

We're flying in Friday and staying at the Radisson. We were just at AKL back in December and had a blast (as much of a blast as you can have ay WDW 7 mo pregnant) My oldest has been to WDW 5 times and my DD 4 times.

My daughter is a real Princess nut and both my older 2 love trading pins. DH & I are hoping to go to brunch at Palos as it will be our 9th anniversary.

That should cover it !
