Momcloud, I'm sorry we're just getting back to your post. We left Okinawa on 1 Jul and flew into Hawaii. We stayed at the Bellows cabins in Hawaii for 3 days and are now at my parents' home in Jacksonville. But my 2 yo wears 2T, I hope you're looking for her clothes size. Thank you and we'll see you in less than a week from now!

Mike

 

[momcloud]

Yes. I am going to get her a neon green t-shirt to wear w/ a Mickey head on it. I wasn't going to put her name on it, but can if you want me to.
We will be on our way Friday!

Hi All!!!
Can you believe we’re talking days rather then weeks? We’ve been out for a few days of beach time (kind-of-a dress rehearsal for next weekend) and just wanted to check in with everyone. Saw where someone was asking about the Shuttle launch, and we’re glad to say that it’s still on as of this evening. NASA completed repairs and final tests on the external fuel tank and has started the long-range count down for mission STS-127 (Check it out -see link below).

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html

On a sad note we also heard about the collision of two of the monorail trains at the TTC at WDW. Very unfortunate. Our thoughts go out to the family of the driver who passed but we’re also very thankful that there were no other major injuries. That’s the first fatality related to WDW transportation systems since opening in 1972 (which is a record that no US highway or Interstate can clam). This does not ease the sorrow of the moment, but it also does not lead us to worry about using the trams & busses while we’re down there (after all, we clime into our cars daily, and they’re far riskier)

On a much lighter note, we see where we’ve picked up another family in the DIS-Meet group and one group got a little bit of pixie dust and had a cabin upgrade. All good things!! We’ve updated out F/E and DIS group lists accordingly they’re in the next post below. We’ll probably post them one more time (likely Thursday morning) just in case we pick up any additional last minute changes and you can still get a more detailed Excel version of the lists by sending us a PM with your e-mail address.

We’ve also put together a map of the decks on the Magic noting all the cabins that are taking part in the F/E. These will be available at the DIS-Meet on the 11th. If anyone upgrades their cabin at the port (which we may just attempt to do ourselves), just holler out at the meet and we can pencil in any necessary last minute changes on the maps before handing them out.

Think we’ve rambled on enough? Probably so.
See you Saturday!!

Join us at our Dis Meet on the first day...

 

[VacationKicks]

We are busy packing, about half way done.

Where and when is the dis meet? I've forgotten.

 

[ManMeyCrew]

Momcloud - thanks for the instructions. I took the 'cheater' way out and bought little purses/bags to sew together for our FE. I think they are kinda cute if I do say so myself. Struggling over how to get them all together and needed to know my max width allowance to make sure it fit. Luckily, the girls and I arrived at my parents' house in St. Cloud last night. Mom is pretty handy with the sewing machine and will help.
Doug left Qatar late last night and is currently in Kuwait waiting for his flight back here to the states (via Germany). His first couple flights got cancelled so we were a little stressed. He should still get into Orlando the night of the 7th. We are all getting excited.
See you all at the meet!

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Where and when is the dis meet? I've forgotten.

The DIS-Meet will be in the Promenade Lounge (Deck-3 Starboard between Lumiere’s and Parrot Cay) at 3:00pm, about an hour before the Lifeboat Muster on the day we sail (July 11).

Howdy and Welcome Aboard.
Glad to have you along. We’ll add your group to the Members lists as well. We picked up your cabin number, would you like to post first names for everyone in you group so we can make the lists as useful as possible?

We also hope you have time to drop by the DIS Members Meet (Promenade Lounge 3:00pm, Saturday, July 11) and meet some fellow “DISers”. There are several kids of similar age that your young'ens might also have a chance to meet and maybe get to know.

Once again, Welcome aboard and we’ll see everyone on Saturday!!!

[TexDisneyMom]

Yikes, I am over packed

I dont know what to do, oh well, live and learn I guess!!

We are almost there!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Christophermycheal]

Momcloud, that's really awesome of you to do that without even knowing us! I'm sorry I'm not responding back to posts quickly. We're still a little jet lagged after coming from Okinawa via Hawaii to boot. My poor kids are waking up at all different times of the night. But they're so excited that we're only days from going on their first cruise. We have my parents so excited that they wish they were going. Even though they'll meet us after the cruise at Disneyworld.

Thank you again and we cant wait until we see you on the ship.
