January 8, 2006- 4 night Wonder- Anybody else coming with?

[VickiHD]

Cruisin...I think I'll join you in regards to stop watching the weather reports. It driving me crazy. After all, I have pack all sorts and types of clothes.
I just can't wait to get on the ship and relax. It funny once we land and drive to WDW I still won't relax because we have to drive to the port and blah blah blah....it's so hard being a "Type A Personality."

I have packed short sleeves and a warm hoodie sweater to wear overtop until the sun warms the day up a bit.

I'm hoping that will get me through okay.

Maybe they will have a last minute change of heart and give us back those 70's temperatures

 

[VickiHD]

I will take 70 degree weather with the sun shining. I just want to come home with a tan.

OMG cruisin, you leave in what...18 hours? Whoa, does that mean you're leaving at 3 am? (not sure what time zone you're in). If you don't post before then, bon voyage and hasta luego. Ok, I'm confusing myself with too many languages...what the heck, just have a magical trip.

I'm not too sure of what to think of this weather either. It has been chilly here, but nothing too bad...Warm enough to wear jeans and a t shirt without having to wear a jacket during the day. But last night it started raining and we've had thunderstorms and rain all last night and all day today, so far.
I think I am going to be packing some hoodies just in case, and maybe even a couple pairs of fleece pants!!

I leave in .... mmmm. probably about 15 hours. No set time but somewhere between 4 and 5 am, EST.(I think ) Same time zone as Florida is in.

I'm here in FL and its been in the low 80s for past 2 days! ... but the weather reports at www.accuweather.com show that it will be much colder during our trip. I hope not, though! I'm about 2 hours south of WDW, so the weather between here and Pt. Canaveral should be close. But the weather people can be wrong, and hopefully it will be just right when we cruise!!!

I'm sure hoping that they are wrong in their forecast.

Another thing that concerns me is the strong winds that are forecast for Nassau, Bahamas while we are on the cruise. Hopefully it doesn't make for rought seas. Still lots of time for them to change that forecast though.

Say it isn't so!

 

[branv]

Ugh, rough seas. I may just call my doc and ask her to go ahead and get me a prescription for the patches. Just to be safe

Though rough seas is bad, worse is that if the winds are too high in the bahamas on CC day, we might not be able to dock. Thank goodness for a 4 day when they can give it a shot for the next day. I know it's childish, but I honestly think I'll just have to sit down and cry if we don't get to see CC. It's the #1 thing I've looked forward to.

Ok, btwn the all rooms completely booked at WDW, chilly weather, and high winds I'm starting to freak myself out. This is silly, I will not fret, I will not fret! Worse case scenario is that we change our plans, chill out and relax doing something different. Either way it's better then work and school...I just have to put it all into perspective.

Yes, at least with the 4 day cruise, there is the option of trying to get into Castaway Cay the sea day if necessary. I really look forward to Castaway Cay too. It is beautiful there.

We will hope for good weather

Even if it is a little chilly to us it is a lot warmer than what we have been having lately.

Today is COLD , rainy, dreary, at least it is not snow Temperatures in the low 60's to mid 70's will be wonderful to us. As long as the sun shines that is all that we ask for.

 

[UGAFan0829]

I am getting a little worried too...but I'm keeping the mindset that we are going to make the best of it...

Right now, the weather is getting pretty scary here...Lots of bad weather in the ATL area, and all those people are out tailgating for the Sugar Bowl. They have some tornado warnings and watches out, so I'm getting a little scared. I can tolerate thunder and lightning even though I don't really like it, but talk of tornadoes really makes me scared!

 

[branv]

Oh that's terrible! Hope it clears up really soon. I don't have an outright terror of, but do have a healthy respect for tornadoes, but being in tornado alley we get watches all the time in the spring. I know you guys get them alot too, but you can't really ever get USED to that kind of weather. It's really weird that you're getting that in January. I knew a lady in PA on a board who was posted this message that they were currently having really bad storms and her part of the city was under a tornado warning. Me and another lady from Houston posted almost simultaneously that a Tornado Warning was not a Watch, it meant actual tornado had been spotted and her rear needed to get OFF the computer and in a closet/basement! I think we freaked her out a little bit, being in PA wasn't exactly well versed in tornado safety drills/terminology.

Stay safe and I'll keep my fingers crossed that it blows over quicky.

 

[Cruisin]

How are things down there in Georgia?

You still with us UGAFan

Well, I looked at the Nassau forecast AGAIN They've taken the "windy" out of the forecast until Thursday, so maybe we will be okay on the high seas

I'm just taking a short break right now. My feet are tired. I feel like I could go to sleep right now. I probably could as long as nothing woke me up in an hour or so. Then I'd be wide awake for the rest of the night

 

[jordan's cool]

thanks for the welcome attagirl and sapphire.we are getting close now.we're not doing the land and sea this trip just sea,so we will be driving down saturday and staying in port canaveral.my wife and daughter have already packed! I'll pack friday even though i'm ready also.hey UGAFAN win one tonight for the sec

[attagirlx2]

First chance I've had to get online today...not normal for me!!! Still have 3 loads of laundry to do and packing. I guess I will definitely sleep in the car tomorrow.

Everyone have a safe trip and we will see you on Sunday!

 

[VickiHD]

Drive safe everyone ! For those of us who are flying....have a safe flight. Looking forward to meeting everyone on Sun. I'll keep a eye out for us early birds at the port too.

Glad jordan's cool and family can join in on the fun! The more the merrier.

Don't forget the meet on Sunday!

 

[sapphire33]

Well, here it is already early Tuesday and I'm finally getting online for Monday!! I got a little busy with laundry and pre-trip stuff.

I just checked the weather... for anyone who has not left yet (a few of us are still out here, right?), it does not look good for our Castaway Cay day. Branv said it did not look good but now its says 60 percent chance of thunderstorms. However, I will try to remain positive, and hope that this far off they are wrong and the forecast improves. I too would cry if we missed out on a lovely Castaway Cay day.

At least it says 78 for a high... to me that sounds pretty good compared to a high of 28 during our Wisconsin winters. We'll all have to pray, think good thoughts, and hope it stays dry!!

We'll be setting off Friday night. Cant' wait to meet you all Sunday...it will be fun putting names and faces together!!

 

[Cruisin]

Good morning everyone

I should still be sleeping but I'm awake, so I'm going to get ready and get this show on the road

See everybody onboard the Disney Wonder
