Do they provide enough coat hangers in the staterooms or shall we bring a few more?

Bring a few more and if you have any of the Joy Mangano hangers definately, bring those!!
Thanks

Allison

Can you guys help me with my to do list? What else do I need?

If you are traveling from the US & staying at a hotel in Barcelona before or after the cruise you need an electrical adapter if you are using a curling iron or anything that plugs in.

Order Euros - Done - pick up Tuesday
American Express Travel Cards - Done and Active
Stop Newspaper - Done
Stop Mail - Done
Print all doucments for flight and stay in Barcelona - Done
Shop - Done
New sunscreen - Done
Laundry - Mostly done
Pack - Not started.
Finish up all work (hopefully this will be done...but certainly not yet)
Hair - Done
Pedicure - Hopefully today
Medicines for the enitre family - Done
Arrange for dog - Not done

What else do I need.....
I am so nervous...the stress is getting worse as each day passes. I wih=sh I were all ready, that would help so much.

By the way, guys. I told Nick about the number of people pulling for him to get his passport & you made him smile.

Thank you!

MaryJo--are friends from Chicago are in the same bind as Nick...fingers crossed for everyone!

I'm a small vessel seasick person, I've been really good on the Magic......I think most of the previous sailors in the Med have indicated pretty good seas recently............I'm probably not going to take anything (I'm usually more tired and "out of it" when I take something than when I don't)......what's everyone else doing?

I can't step on the ship without the patch for motion sickness behind my ear...would be so sick without it!

Harole Ann,

Can someone come if they haven't RSVP? Not sure what we have planned but if we find ourselves with nothing to do on Friday - We may attempt to drop by if we don't get lost!

Absolutely! Would be so happy to see you!

Okay now just listen and see if you can hear the music....

I love Paris in the springtime.
I love Paris in the fall.
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles,
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles.

I love Paris every moment,
every moment of the year.
I love Paris, why, oh why do I love Paris?
Because my baseball teams are there!!!!!!!!


Okay, after over a year, you know I am a little kookie and after all I did send you a picture yesterday of dh pointing to the sign of "Paris" and I told you we were going to Paris to play baseball....so it is only fair to show you the reasons I have spent my summer at the baseball fields, thus the reason I have a suntan!

Chad our 9 year old All-Star whose team did not win a game in the tournament, but had a great time playing ball!

And dh with Nathan our 13 year old All-Star whose team will play again Tuesday to determine Championship round which happens when we are in Barcelona---that's what cell phones are for!!


And my three favorite words---SEE YOU SOON!

Amazon.com is the slowest place I have ever ordered anything from! I will never order from them again unless I don't care if I have a month to wait!

I would guess you would, but if you were to call either WDW or Disneyland would they be able to answer that question for you?

 

[bellelinus]

I am taking care of mom this weekend. My brother is out of town.

Not going to well.....

Sorry to hear that, Lisa

Still 950 to go.........how does he DO that??

You know how he does it . . . get fluffing!!!!

 

[danfromca]

I still think Nick should go and look under Dan's pillow just in case!

OMGosh --- this is soooo funny.

Any chance, Dan, o keeper of the passports?

I'd be glad to, but with today's regulations it reqires a 24 week wait, multiple phone calls and intervention by your congressman to look under my pillow. The tooth fairy herself has protested, but to no avail.

Besides, the pillow itself will probably get lost in transit this time - we're connecting through Heathrow

I wish I could take my DIS stuff in my carry on - I am WORRIED about that bag not making it there!!! I actually got it all ready to go to be shipped, but that company that's handling the "ship stuff to the ship" didnt have anyone that speaks english! We tried sending emails, could never really get anywhere. Plus, just the shipping would have been about 400. dollars.

So...I'm checking my "DIS" bag and keeping my fingers crossed. It represents days and days of preparation!

Susy

The DIS stuff, I'm afraid, goes in the luggage. If it doesn't make it, our doors will be bare, and we won't be able to enjoy the gift exchange. But I will bring the DIS T-Shirt to wear in the carry-on, and meeting everyone is more important than the trickets anyway.

Hey guys,


Kyla's DIS guidebook has been updated in the Publisher version, and if Dan can get to it he'll update the Adobe Acrobat version.

Jeanne - so much work went into this - it's really great!

Just updated. Sorry - i don't actually know what changes were made.

 

[bellelinus]

I have a question about handing out the gifts for the Fish Extenders. Are gifts handed out throughout the day, during the night, the evening before, or in the morning of?

Please advise, as I've never done this before.

Thank you!

I think you can do it any time that is convenient for you on the day you were assigned to give them out . . .

 

[bellelinus]

Congrats on the !!!!

 

[bellelinus]

Anyone know - Makeup

Is lipstick classed as a liquid - I understand lipgloss is

Also cream eyeshadow /blush???

( I've put my foundation in case so if it goes missing I will look a sight! )

Solid lipstick and cream eyeshadow or blush would not be considered liquids.

 

[bellelinus]

Can anyone confirm Electrical/Voltage requirements at Disney Paris?? Need to know if I need to bring my adapters.


Jeff

You will need the converter/adapter for DLP, I believe.

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

Thank you - I was wondering how that was done - actually, I think I asked before, but never actually checked it out - I did it this time and it worked!! Thanks. So, after this post, 3 more and I'll be at 500 on this thread - that seems like a good number to strive for before I set off tomorrow am. It has been so fun today - telling people that I leave for Europe tomorrow - sounds so la de da!!

Well, I'll probably end up with more than 3 more - but, it was just for the mission

Ahhhh.... and I remember when you were trying to catch up with me.
