Hi everyone! We are getting so excited to leave Wednesday night! It has been a tough week for me so I am looking forward to the escape, even if I will have to deal with all of the problems when I return. It has felt like everything just seems to go wrong at once!

I think we are going to tentatively skip the meet up. Since it is our first cruise, we are all excited to explore the ship the first day so don't really want to commit to anything. I do hope to see some of you before we board! Not sure what time we're planning on getting to the terminal yet - may sleep in and go for a swim first. We'll see. We don't have our green bracelets but our pics were uploaded to the file. Only three full days left until we're on our way!!!!

 

[lovedisney50]

No green bracelets for us either. We will try to meet people at port & maybe prominade

 

[AverysMommy]

I thought I was the only one still not done getting ready - i am counting down the hours!!!

We found out green bracelets at Party Packagers in their section for St Patricks Day - 2 bucks for 4 bracelets!

We are mid flight right now! I guess I have not flown long haul flights in a while, the in flight crap is costing me a fortune . Two tv terminals at $12 a pop, and because of our seating confit (two and two) we need two for both kids. Tip for those traveling with two kids, choose three and one seating so at least one adult has an aisle if kids must have a window!!!!!!! Our flight is full and dh who is 6"3 is wedged in the middle seat. Sigh, should have foreseen this one beforehand. Happy traveling all!

I hope you are able to relax once the kids are immersed in TV.

Good idea on seating plans.

Just finished weigh-in and the final number lost before cruise is.........19.2 lbs! Very excited to lose all of this weight and ready to get back at it when I return from the trip!

WE do this all the time. It is usually the kids on the inside two seats. One get the window there one other one gets it on the way back. I sit at the aisle and my hubby sits in the aisle in the row across. So we are still together. If it doesn't work that way, I sit with dd and hubby sits with son.

Wish I was on my way now....it is snowing again.

I love the information you get on the forum.

My husband uses a CAP machine, helps him breath at night. Just found out that they will supply the distilled water for it. Thought we would have to make a stop for the water since we can't bring it on the plane. It would be pretty heavy to carry the water around with us until we could get in the room too.

Also learned that I would need to take an extension cord for it. If I use theirs it we have to put a $50 deposit down to use it and this come back as soon as you return it. Crazy.

We are only booking one way. I thought I would save a little because the rate is about 20 dollars lower, but they add on a one-way drop fee of $40 so it ended up being more. Oh well - I was happy with my budget rate!!

just added a few books to the kindle - not sure how much I will get to read on the cruise, but want books available in case it happens!!!
