A reminder to all of our Meet on the 13th at 3pm in the Lounge beside Parrot Cay and to wear a lime green mickey head, pirate kermit or green yarn bracelet to identify yourself as a Dis member. Kids are welcome as we want them to get to know each other also!

I've got my lime green yarn! I am sooo ready!!

 

[Euphscott]

No Lime Green here - but we will be wearing Caribbean Amphibian T-shirts with the Kermit design on the front (as in Rani's Avatar).

72 degrees sounds nice - we will hit 65 today and I am enjoying it much. Crossing fingers for some nice 80's or low 90's down south!!!

80's or 90's would be so nice! I am also hoping for smooth sailing as I am a bit worried about seasickness.

I take Bonine every night, starting the night before the cruise and ending the night after the cruise is over. I have no side effects from it and I never feel the least bit queasy when taking it. It's the only way I can set foot on a ship!

I'll bring DD in lime green from head to toe -- her favourite colour!

Bonine is not available here in Canada so I might have to make a pitstop before I get on the Magic to pick some up. Can I get it at any drugstore over the counter? I did pick up some scopolamine patches (which are over the counter here). Anyone try these?

Bonine is the brand name for Meclizine and it is over the counter. I used scopolamine patches for a trip to WDW and they worked great. The only problem I had with them is that they peeled off when I sweated in the Florida heat. I put a new patch on right away and ended up overdosing on the medication because you are only supposed to use one patch every three days!
Whoops. I was super dizzy and had blurred vision.

So, just make sure to follow the directions for the patches and you'll be fine!

I wish they were over the counter here. I got mine this week though, I have always used these and they work well for me. Anyone staying at the Radisson pre-cruise?

Our journey begins one week tomorrow! We are at the Courtyard Inn.

Now we're really getting excited. Has anyone seen what movies have been playing on the Magic? I know Alice in Wonderland is out this weekend, but DD isn't sure that she wants to see it. Johnny Depp does look scary!

10 DAYS!!!

Thanks all for the Bonine/patch advice. Our adventure starts 1 week tomorrow. We are staying at the Comfort Inn & Suites at Cocoa Beach pre-cruise.

 

[3dog2kidmom]

9 days!!!!!!!!!!

Our adventure begins a week from tomorrow... we fly out Friday morning, spend the afternoon/evening at the Magic Kingdom to use our "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day" tickets, and are staying the night at the Contemporary.

ahhhhh - it seems like only 510 days ago I was starting this group.....where does the time go?

 

[3dog2kidmom]

Rani - just looking at your signature... when is your Dream cruise? We are booked July 10-15, 2011. Planning to rebook it onboard for the discount and OBC.

 

[Iggipolka]

One week from today (Thursday), we'll be flying out to Orlando! We're staying at AKV Thursday-Saturday to help adjust to the three hour time difference. I can't believe it's next week already! I have so much to do before then.

UGGGG!!! I've just come down with a nasty cold. Hope it doesn't last too long.

Sorry to hear you're under the weather. Here's hoping a few early nights and a bit of rest will help ... and if not, we have to be confident that a drink of the day (or two!) will do the trick!
