June 1, 2008 7-Night Mexican Riviera Cruise All Aboard is now back on Land

[EnchantedPlayroom]

Oh yeah, I have def. found the bright side. DH is not as "Disney" as I am. And he tends to get annoyed when I want to stop to take the 15th picture of a Disney fixture on the wall.

So, I will get to do a lot of things I want to do. Just...tee but of guilt always resides. But maybe a drink of the day will silence it.

So, I'm off tomorrow! I think we're pretty much packed. 4 medium suitcases (around 40 pounds)and 1 small(20 pounds) for 5 people for 2 weeks is pretty good. I know that I am taking too much, but I can't decided what I want to wear, so there you go. I wasn't going to take jeans and sneakers, but was advised to, so that adds more.

But, I'm feeling that what we are taking is manageable. We have two staterooms, so there's room.

Just feeling a bit panicky, you know last minute jitters. My son's partner in a school project went home sick today so I'm really hoping DS doesn't get it. I feel better as soon as I pass security at the airport. I worry about everything until then, and then I just relax!

So wish me a great trip. I'll keep checking in with everyone until I depart tomorrow morning.

See you on the boat. Remember, look for someone who looks like Cher (a younger Cher) with 3 boys (12,9,6) and a dark handsome DH (well at least I think so.)

Bon voyage and happy packing.

S.

ps I wonder what shows we're going to see and if we actually get to see Mickey Dreams. They had it on the panama crossing so the cast must know it! I hope so, I'd like to see something new!

Here is some for your son.

I am the same like you. I worry till I am there.

Have fun on your pre cruise vacation.

See you on the boat.

Have a safe trip.

New Room Count!!!

of the 20 DIS Families on our thread,
15 rooms are playing, but only 14 have given me their room #'s...I'm still waiting for suellennapa's room number/s...

Counting suellennapa's family, there are 44 people total...
of which 14 are children,
8 girls,
6 boys...
everyone else is 18 or older.

Thanks Sandy!

Bringing the 18 should be enough for everyone.

Ummmm, can you believe that it hasn't hit me yet??? I even went and saw the ship off on Sunday...and it hasn't quite hit me yet. It still feels like it's months off. I guess there has just been a lot of drama around here and I haven't been thinking clearly. But I'll be excited when we board.

Until I realize that DH isn't standing with DD and I at sail away.

I am sure it is not easy. We will be there for you.

Bring a picture of your DH with you, a paper plate and a stick. I know what the heck is she talking about. We can tape the picture of him on the plate put the stick on it abd take a picture of all three of you together. We did this on a trip because someone could not make it.

I know he will be in everyones hearts even though he is not there.

OH WOW!

Are you the first of our crew to leave????

HAVE A BLAST!

Actually we are are wearing our sneakers on the plane so i didnt have to pack them.

And we did not bring jeans but we did take jean capris and jean shorts.

ENJOY YOUR PRE CRUISE,
CANT WAIT TO MEET YA!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kcarl021]

HEEEELLLPPPP!!!!!!

What documents are you printing off? I did online check in and just figured I could sign the docs that came with my tickets and be ok.

What am I missing????

 

[slg]

We decided to pack our sneakers as we have to go through security twice and all that shoe lace tying takes so long. We have a tight connection so crocs will speed up the process.

Jean shorts for the kids, I've packed some jeans for me and a couple of long sleeved t-shirts for everyone. Hopefully we won't need them.

 

[Clboer]

My crew had dropped from 14 to 8. But the 8 of us are still going. Do you know if anyone is planning any group excursions? We are looking for fun things to do in Puerto Vallarta & Mazatlan.

 

[Mendoza5]

hi everybody, have a safe trip all of you who are already heading out. i have my lists going, but i am still working 2 more days, and i need to get paid so i can get the rest of the items we need i have appointments the next few days so that will be nice to get all pretty. but i have a lot going on a work, a big report due. i think we are going to make it though and it'll all come together. our fish extender gifts came together, so that is a relief. i am excited, but i have to stay calm or else i'll loose it all.

we are not doing any group excursions.

HUERITA...where did you find the plastic things to go on our lanyards? i haven't started looking, i am going to try staples and wal mart.

i am so looking forward to meeting you all.

i went down the list and did the money authorization one, and then whatever else was there, then when you do all of those it lets you get to the signature page. i printed all of them for adults and kids. does that help? the signature page has some red print on it.

 

[sandysplayhouse]

To all you lucky people that are leaving tomorrow and the next day, have a safe and GREAT trip. We will all see each other in 4 days!

Unfortunately, I will be working until 6pm Friday...
THAT is when I'll put the pedal to the metal and finish packing and finish my FE gifts and print up the DIS Navigator and put everything together and finally zip-up my luggage.

I found them at Office Depot on sale. They were $2 for a pack of 12 either vertical or horizontal "Badge Holders". I have extras, do you want me to bring them?

 

[kcarl021]

OK I have hit the point where I can't sleep at night!

That's a good idea

 

[EnchantedPlayroom]

Actually, I was thinking of bringing DD's "Daddy Doll". I had it made for her when DH was deployed. Here is a pic of Daddy in the pumpkin patch last October.

OMG I LOVE IT!!!!

 

[OH 6]

That Daddy Doll idea is awesome!! Very cool!

Safe travels to all that are leaving soon!!

Packing can officially begin this evening as work begins to wind down for us. It has to start at some point as we are leaving tomorrow afternoon. This is by far the worst it's ever been for us with packing - surely setting me up to forget something...

 

[EnchantedPlayroom]

kcarl... you asked me what was up with all the socks...
I have to have them to sleep... my feet FREEZE if I don't have them, I usually take them off sometime during the night, but I start off with them on... AND I wear them with my crocs ... dorky I KNOW... but if I don't wear them, my feet "might" get sweaty... remember I'm big on the "what ifs", so I don't even want to go there with the sweaty feet thing.
