[DISNEYFANRI]

Rainy day here today - good day to curl up ans start reading the Passporter!!

 

[luvalldisney]

Minn has more clothes than Pal does, but he is trying to catch up to her. He will probably be changing at least 3 times a day. He will need his own suitcase and the only spare one I have is a purple tinker bell...he was not PLEASED when I told him that!!! So now he is sulking over getting his own suitcase. I told him his stuff could go into mine, but he does not want that!!! So if you see a stuffed mouse on the street pan handling you know it is because he wants his own suitcase and I wouldn't buy one for him (mean mommy) and told him to GET A JOB!!!! Ordered Pal some new pants for the cruise (did not tell him!) they are being shipped out tomorrow!!! He will get excited about that( I hope!)
Still no docs, but I am sure they are on their way!!!!!! still dancing until I get on the cruise!!!!
Send some of that rain down here....we are in drought conditions and on water restrictions. Our back up water supply (Lake Okeechobee ) is down to record low levels. The last major drought we had was broken with a cat 5 hurricane...DON"T WANT THAT!!!! so ship down some of the wet stuff....we need it now and not in June!

luvalldisney. I bought Minn a lime green suitcase at Target for 9.99. It like a pilot case. they have them in gray, black and a shade of blue. I couldn't find a case with Minnie on it except at WDW and sorry I love Minn but not to buy a over 40 close to 50 dollar kids size wheeled suitcase.

Pal as a red one just like Minn's but it did come with another set I bought myself before the Jan cruise. So each has their own suitcase. But then I have a kids size much smaller than pilot case, that has Mickey Mouse on it that we will be using for when traveling like this month to WDW.

I doubt I will use it for the June cruise as not sure will hold all of Minn's stuff <G>

Will probably be taking my 26in, and either the 24in duffle, or Minn's pilot case just to hold all her stuff and mine. However, I admit she is taking more then me when comes to accessories, clothes etc...

I believe though she is well outfitted for the cruise, day and night.

Now Pal although did ok during the Jan cruise, I think he will need a few things for the Sept cruise. Both will go with me then. Can you imagine how many suitcases I will need for Pal, Minn and myself????? LOL

Wondering if I can get by with using a backpack for my carry-on stuff, but also hooked onto my chair the beach bag to carry snorkel, mask, floats, etc... (just things that will be used at CC) I know they say one carry-on and two checked.

I will start practicing packing for the June cruise after our May trip to WDW-POP Century. That may give me a better idea of how I am going to pack for Sept taking both kids.

For a 3 night cruise sure seems like I am taking the kitchen sink. But remember that group that went for a 3 hour cruise and was stranded on an island for YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So imo i better take all i can think will need just in case LOL

We have two major wild fires in our area and doesn't seem any hope of them getting mother nature to help put them out anytime soon. We were getting the smoke from the fire in Georgia for last few days to point we had advisors for ppl with resp problems to stay indoors. Now we have two fires in central Florida as well. We need rain but not during May 18-20. <G>

 

[luvalldisney]

I DID IT!!!!! I AM NOW A MOUSEKETEER, I AM NO LONGER EARNING MY EARS ON THE DIS BOARDS..... Just in time for my cruise, I am now a full fledged member of these boards
Yea, now I need to celebrate by looking for a suitcase for Pal and Minn to SHARE!!!!!Don't tell them its a secret!

 

[brady961]

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!! of course how did you become a mouseketeer? number of posts?

Wonder what I would be if didn't use personal title? Ummmm

Ok check out Target for the 9.99 ones. Walmart may have some too not sure. If you do see the ones at Target (lime green, pink, black, gray, and some shade of blue) think if we could do an iron on them?

Also at Target they have a princess set of like three pieces not remember cost. Also had boyish sets of three maybe "Cars".

What do you mean share?????????????? You know good and well they both have too much to share unless you get a 26 in or bigger suitcase LOL.

Get them both the pilot case one for 9.99. <G>

Bumping to page #1 - I really like the Passporter - though I'm the type of person that needs all the resources I can get - true that alot of info I have seen here on the DIS - it's nice to have it handy in 1 book.

Hope you ladies are well today - speaking of books - I'm off to sit in the sunshine with a new fiction book that I am reading "The Heart Shaped Box".

TTFN.....

 

[brady961]

WOW have you looked at the countdown????????? it's like a month and half before we are cruising HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The beach bag is getting more and more stuff in it though each day. I promised myself I wouldn't overpack for the kid/s this time or in Sept. Looks like I will proably break that promise LOL

I will get the smallest bag of all for my clothes and accessories. Minn will get the largest two for her clothes and accessories. LOL

 

[DISNEYFANRI]

bumping to page 1 and counting down.....

 

[brady961]

so have you started practicing packing yet? LOL. I won't until after May trip to POP at WDW. But I know I will practice trying out several different ways, luggage bags, etc.... And then make final decision the night before leave for the cruise.

Luvalldisney and I will meet over near the port, spend night at a nearby hotel on Wed night. Then up early and to port by 10a <G>

So Tues night I will probably make final decision of what, how, etc.. to pack. And believe me it won't be an easy task for me, as I want things just a certain way <G>

have a good weekend.

 

[DISNEYFANRI]

Well if buying new clothes and keeping then in the bages is considered packing then my answer would be yes.

Honestly I have not even taken my spring/summer clothes out yet - we had a frost advisory last night!!

No flight info - I think it's available 30 days out - I'll keep you posted.

 

[brady961]

I would consider leaving new clothes buying for cruise in bag part of packing LOL.

I really do have a beach bag sitting on the floor that I keep throwing items in there which I consider part of preparing/packing.

If I remember correctly in Jan, my friend that flew down got her flight info a couple weeks prior to our departure date. Maybe a month but pretty sure not sooner than that.

I did receive my renewed passport finally HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

later gator

 

[brady961]

Minnie wanted to show her new tshirt and skirt DCL outfit for the cruise: She is as excited as I am about this cruise.

can you hardly believe we are like a month and half away??????

 

[DISNEYFANRI]

Tell Minnie that she looks very stylish!!!!

I am just lovin" our countdown!!!
