Yep, I wanted to make sure that I was included on the fish extenders and any dinning reservations without letting Darlene know I was going on the cruise with her. I have been working non-stop to surprise her at the port but today the cat was let out of the bag...and I have to say I am a little happy. It is a lot of work coming up with excuses and fake identities just to keep a secret. Secretkeeper I don't know how you did it. We will still try to keep the secret from the rest of the family
Ok, so. The secret is out. I am Sorcerer Mom's friend...I am also Greg
So a little about the real me. I am Christine and my DH is Joey. This will be our 3rd DC (2nd 7-night). We are huge Disney fans, we even got married in Disneyworld. We have been to DL a ton of times mostly with Darlene and family. We are really excited to be on the trip since it really is a spur of the moment trip (usually plan 18 months in advance). Ok, I think I've covered everything just about everything. Very excited to be cruising with you.
...I'm still in complete shock but soooooo excited - you'll love 'em! I'm glad she feels much better that the secret's out but now we BOTH have to keep the secret from the rest of my family - I can't wait to see their faces 
. Not his fault and it's not like he can just leave so it's out of our hands. We should know in about 10 days or so but I'm going to think good thoughts and hope for a big dose of pixie dust 
Say your prayers everyone. By the time we're on the ship, I'll need a drink of the day for each hand!

Well, WELCOME, again! Did you want to let the cat out of the bag or was it just a mistake? I am so trying to keep this from my kids but I am not sure if it is going to work!!! I might have to tell them that we are going on a cruise just not when the cruise is????
I can't wait to read this....I am sooooo disappointed!
. Well she asked if I wanted to go with her in case her DH couldn't. I really didn't have a choice. Plus it was the hardest thing I have ever done and I only kept the secret for a week
I would be disappointed about the menu is they changed it to Mexican food too. That is my least favorite type of food. Well I guess we could all just go to Topsideres if we don't like the menu. It does seem weird that they would have Mexican food on Formal Night...pirate night makes a little more sense.
Oh well, it is what it is!
Hmmm....please correct me if I'm wrong but from what I've been reading on the DisBoards, the formal night will be Monday night which will also be the Golden Mickey Night. Seems kinds strange that they would do Mexican Food, no matter how fancy, on Golden Mickey night which from what I understand, it like the Oscars!
It's fun to speculate as to what will happen but at this point, I'm just glad we're going and trying not to "overthink" if you know what I mean!
Still not having much luck on getting my Cabo Dolphin Swim. I have got the PV one as a back up in case no one cancels in Cabo. I booked it through the cruise so I have the option of cancelling 3 days before departure and if we do swim in PV, we have the transportation all set. From what I understand, the Dolphin facility is about 30 minutes away from the pier. I really hope Cabo opens up as we have the last swim time in PV
Going to try to go to Disneyland sometime this month to pick up some pins so my son can do some trading. We usually buy special ones that mean something to him but we'll leave those at home and get some that aren't so expensive and trade those.
Looking forward to meeting all of you!
but does everyone have their mornings planned out? I have only sailed out of Port Canaveral and they don't let you in the area until you can board so I am a little confused on how this will work. I am hoping someone from the previous cruises will tell us. Just keeping us bumped up.
OK so I know there will be a race to see who is first in line between three of you
From the info I have gathered we will be able to check in around 10:30am but if everyone gets to the port earlier than that are you planning on hanging out in the parking lot with all your luggage and than draging it to the check in area
Also where do you plan to eat once you get on the ship? I really like eating a Parrot Cay. I know everyone likes eating at Topsides since it's outside but I think it's just to crowded especially if you are lugging around all of your carry on luggage.
It also doesn't look like we will have much time between getting into our rooms and the Muster Drill. There's only like an hour and a half between the two, I wonder if they are going to do the ship walking tour before we depart at 4:15

so the DH will be able to go!!!
So I'm not sure what we will do. I guess we will play it by ear. If it is a cool day- (good old June gloom) we probably will skip Topsiders as DS 4 will only think of the pool. If it is warm- that's where we will be! 
I think I need emails for LVStitch, AirTita, djdj456. Thanks!
42 Days!!!! This is free but you do need tickets ahead of time.
What do you mean by "letting you in the area only when you can board?" We got to the port somewhat early but boarding did not start for another hour and half. We just waited around in there.
My goal is to be the first one in line!!! Sorry Sorcerer Mom...
Should be interesting...I have a feeling there will be a race in the parking lot to the ship . The reason I say the terminal is because we will have about 1.5 to 2 hours in there; once we get on the ship we will be running around like crazy especially Sorcerer's Mom since it's her first time on the ship plus it leaves an hour eariler so that give us less time between boarding and sailaway. We could meet after sailaway.
