July 15-22 2006 Western Anyone?

[BTSEN5]

Good morning everyone. Today is my last day of work before the cruise. I am in such a fog, and I really don't know how useful I am going to be at work. I keep thinking about all the things we still need to do before leaving. Oh well.

Good morning all. It is a beautiful morning, and as each day comes and goes, I get all the more excited. I can't imagine going to work today. At least here I can be in that fog, get enough accomplished, and no one will tell me to get out of the fog.

I am so glad I opted out of summer courses. I would be beside myself right now. I have enough to worry about as it is.

I am planning on really packing today. First I must sort through the huge pile of stuff....I can't even remember what all is in there. I need to get safety pins (they vanish here when I need them) , because I have the little mickey paint chips that will have my screen name and each of our names on them. Nothing fancy, but will help in introducing ourselves, and I will not have to quiz anyone on my name.

Fun, fun, fun.

Good Morning


I really want to go to the dollar tree looking for that shoe holder hopefully my dollar tree has it. Other than that just going to watch the clock today

I would bet they do. They have a few different kinds of organizers, so I am sure it is a standard thing for them. It is actually perfect for this trip. They had the shoe holder,which is kind of a plastic material, and then they had a 12 pocket organizer that was the material that those throw away blankets (can't remember the name) are made of. That is the one I got because it is a standard blue, so it wouldn't be too noticable. Good luck in finding one.

If you cannot find one, let me know and I can pick one up for you here and give it to you at the meet.

I stand corrected. It is Disney Information Station. But it still is pronounced Diz.

Thanks for the info! We are officially DIZZERS

I don't know what to do.

If I stay home I will find more stuff to pack that we probably won't need.
If I go out I will spend money that I don't need to spend.
Any ideas?

I would give advice here, but I seem to be in as bad of shape. I am now to the point where I am fine with whatever packing I do. I will not really regret having too much, and the only lugging of luggage I have to do is to and from the plane. I would much rather have too much than too little. My worry is for on the way back. Will I have enough room for extra stuff?

I hope you find a way to resist all the temptations. I am weak .

 

[sillykidsmom]

I too am weak. I really would like to get out of the house and shop. I can't help myself. Not only am I a overpacker, I'm a shopaholic!!!

 

[sillykidsmom]

I have filled out all the forms online and whatever forms in the cruise docs. Do we need to print anything from online? I double, triple checked and I don't see anywhere online with a print option. Just want to make sure I have everything.

I think the paranoia is kicking in.

Enjoy a Margarita!

I printed the signiture papers online, and I also printed all my reservation information, including Palo, kids programs, and the cruise reservation itself. I thought there was a print option for all of these, but I cannot remember how I printed them out. I know the signiture page definitely had a print option. I just printed out whatever there was, because I did not want to take a change. I probably overdid it. The large lump of papers in my carry on, may be a clue. I will look funny sorting through them at the terminal. Oh well, I will be ready to have fun, and I do not care about anything but that.

Now that is the best idea I heard in a long time. That reminds me of all the drinks of the day I will be sampling.

What a wonderful idea!! I should at least wait till noon right?

On the page which has the on line check in, scroll down beyond the individual names to the section called Stateroom. The first item is the Cruise Contract. Click on 'Fill Out Form' to bring up the form. You have the option to print this out, but on the bottom right there is Continue. Click on that to bring up the form that requires the signatures. Print that out, sign it, and bring it with you.

BUT... I am sure if you did not bring this, they would have extra for you to sign once you get there.

I printed the signature pages as well. These pages also came in my cruise docs so I feel like I'm repeating myself. Oh well better safe then sorry. I also printed out the kids program and excusion reservations.

You sure do have alot of paper work for a Disney cruise. I'm use to showing up at port with my cruise docs, id and birth certificate.

It's noon someplace!

Thanks!! Got it. It did say this is the only form you need. Yeah right, I'm not taking any chances.

Hello, I was on the Disney Magic 7/1 - 7/8, when Pirartes of the Caribbean 2 premiered. Unfortunately, the opening day pins were not loaded on the ships until 7/6, so we didn't get the chance to buy them.

I tried calling guest services (after the email address they gave me bounced!), but it doesn't look like they can help me, as the pins have been loaded and can't be exported back into the US (just sold to guests onboard).

C an anyone please check if these pins are still available? I'll gladly Paypal you the cost of a few (or even one!).

Thanks!

Glad you found it. I told my husband that we will have to be creative on how and where to hang it, since it is a cheapy one. I know we can figure out something. I think the stewards would appreciate this too, because with all the stuff I have, they would never be able to get the bathroom cleaned. This will be a good way to keep everything tidy. With 3 boys....well, 4, I am sure I will be the one putting everything in the organizer.

We are staying at Wilderness Resort the night before the cruise. It was a freebie night from my mother-in-law. Because the bus was free, we decided to go with that. Unfortunately, we won't be arriving early and I'm kind of bummed about that. I was told the bus will pick us up at 11:45. Does anyone know how long the drive is to the port?
