What are y'all packing your jewelry in for the cruise

I can't remember what I used to pack mine last time. Want to bring some earrings and a couple of necklaces. Don't want the necklaces to knot up during travel.

I have some small jewelry pouches that I got at Hobby Lobby I use and they go in a pocket in my roll up travel case. I put all makeup, jewelry etc. in there that isn't liquid of course and it goes in my carryon.

I have a jewelry bag that I used. But I've also used a tank top and lay my necklaces and earrings flat on them and roll the tank top into a tube. Then I stuff the tank top tube on the ends of my suitcase. Worked great as long as you remember your jewelry is in there when you pull your tank top out.

We'll pack them in a couple of jewelry rolls (Stein Mart has nice ones that you can get on sale probably 8.00). And our BooksAMillion even had some on clearance for $5.00. And I've actually packed mine in my 'make up' travel case. I don't usually take much jewelry for safety and so that I don't forget and leave it. In fact, bare minimum, then I'm not sad if I lose something or break it! Even baggies can carry your earrings!

Love it that we're down to little details!

OH! Did I read that you guys decided on a DISmeet??
When, Where, and what time? Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Actually no, but its probably time to get around to that

Who's got suggestions?

What time is everyone wanting to meet up? Don't forget that there'll be the mandatory Boat Drill @ 4 so between 3:45 & 4:15 everyone will be busy with that. If we meet at 3 like someone suggested, then everyone will have to leave for the boat drill and won't be able to "stake out a spot" early for the Sail Away party.
My suggestion is to meet up at the Promenade Lounge on deck 3 at 3pm. I know it's inside, which might not work for those of you wanting to swim, but DH & I've met up there for other DISmeets on past cruises and thought it worked well. It's not as loud or busy as Deck 9 or 10, which would be good for chatting and such. AND they have a bar for those of you wanting to grab drinks.
This will also let everyone go where they want to go for the sail away party. That way the newbies can get in the thick of it and dance it up w/ mickey & they gang, while some of the veterans go hide somewhere not as crowded & enjoy the veiws.

BUT majority rules so if you guys want too stick with deck 9 or 10, that's fine w/ me too. What do you guys think?

As for the meet, since I won't be at the ship till around 1:30-2:00 I will not be there, I will be at Topsiders. As for the sail away, I will be on deck 4 watching us sail away. I am sure our 1st timers will love it, but after seeing it like 5+ times I am good. Same with the Pirate thing, I will watch the fireworks from deck 4.

 

[Lauralooneyfordisney]

To all us newbies, this weekend is checkin time. I can't wait.

Hey Beth, what time did you say your wedding was on Castaway Cay? I want to plan my parasailing excursion around it. I was thinking you said 10:00am but I want to be sure.

10:30 AM! BYO Konk Kooler!

 

[Bethshaya]

Laura...you COULD always parasail during the wedding and blow bubbles at them, throw rice, bird seed, etc....

o well, just a thought! (couldn't resist...course you won't be THAT close to land )

Parasailing works for us, as long as it isnt tomatos or lettuce you are throwing at us!

That's what the bar is for Darlin

Whoever gets to the bar first has to saver seats for the rest of the wedding crashers

 

[scottishandproud]

I cant wait either, although im not sure what im going to book yet lol, definately want to book a table a palo if possible, but not sure when the best time to go would be if we get a choice that is.

I know its the 25th we are allowed to book but can anybody tell me what time we can book here in the uk with the time difference?

Thanx Mandy x

Well 10:30 I might be awake. All I know is I need my seat at the Knoked out bar at 1:30 for 2-1 drinks. Every time I have been to CC this is done.

You can figure out the time by using this handy dandy Time Zone Converter.

Oh, for Disney you would use United States, Eastern Standard Time or EST, or just use New York. Whatever you can find easiest when scrolling down the menu.

OMG! I will def plan on being there at 1:30 for that. I guess I will fit parasailing in somewhere. Probably before the conk cooler time though.

That is pretty early. All ashore on CC is scheduled for 9:45am so well have to go directly over to the Heads Up bar to crash the wedding.

 

[TIGGER/POOH4]

Please note that Online Checkin is separate (where you get your boarding time) is rumored to be at 3am Eastern time. So you may have to signon again several hours later. Good luck to all getting what you want.
