Hi all, I cant beleive it is finally here. My kids had trouble going to sleep tonight. We are leaving on Wednesday to start out 18 hour drive with 2 kids
We are doing both formal and semi formal nights. I think you will be fine without a suit jacket. Both my boys only have suits only because Brendan's communion is coming up in may, so I figured I might as well get some use out of them
We cant wait to meet everyone and my DS (8) keeps talking about meeting new friends the first day! We also want to do the Martini tasting. Does anyone know where we sign up for this?
Also at castaway cay, if we want to rent a tube do we need to sign up on line or can we do it on the islad. MY husband and older son are doing the stingray excursion so I will be flying solo with my 4 year old.

can't wait to meet everyone! Oh and I am bringing the boys halloween costumes (captain hook and Jack sparrow) for them, but they also have matching kaki shorts with skulls on them. I am going to let them decide.

Hi. I booked tube rentals on line, but I'm sure you probably could rent them when we dock. It is $6.00 per tube/float rental. My DH, DS & DD are going on the fishing excursion , so my BFF myself & her 3 yr old will be hanging out on the beach as well. You are welcome to join us if you would like! Jenn

We looked for pirate shirts too for DS at the Disney store here and couldn't find any over the weekend. More surprisingly...no princess dresses for DD...oh except the $150 Rapunzel wedding dress & that wasn't happening

Hey Kim. I don't think ANY of the Disney stores have Pirate merchandise in stock. I looked here in Jersey and they didn't have anything either. Bummer! Cannot wait to meet you and your crew on Friday! Jenn

Would LOVE to attend martini or Margarita or both tastings! I'm all about relaxing & having fun on this trip. Have taken too many other trips with too much driving gotta be here gotta be there. Thia trip is for me! I'm not sorry if this seems selfish, but it's been a hellish 18 months but we won't go there!

I'm all for relaxing trying new things and making new friends!

Kinda a bummber that it's going to rain all week. Fingers crossed that we get the dry side of this 50% chance of rain.

Wow. Only a couple days left!!!

Stimpy- don't they sell princess dresses on the ship? Maybe you'll have some luck there
I thought I read that pirate gear is also sold before the big shin dig. Hopefully this is true of the magic, not just the bigger ships!

Wonderful! Of all the things to stress over, the weather just didn't really make my list. I keep telling my boys - It is what it is and I'm still going to have so much fun doing nothing.

We leave tomorrow night!!!!

Safe travels everyone!

I am so far behind!! As usual! It's now 7:30 pm & I'm just now printing out all our travel docs. Haven't even begun to start packing an we are being picked up at 8 am tomorrow morning for the airport. Thankfully the airport is 10 minutes from our house. (small local one...hate dealing with JFK or LGA...sorry Jenn! I'll be thinking of you though! )

See you all Friday!
