Mar. 19, 2009 Wonder: Aye, But We're Loved by Our Mummies and Dads

[PlanoJessie]

I forgot to add that we received our documents yesterday, by UPS. I thought that was a little strange...in the past they have always come in the mail.

For those that won't be at DW prior to the cruise, I will be at the sail away and I'll make a run to Home Depot and pick up lime green mickey heads. I think we'll be on deck 10 for sail away...it is a lot less crowded and you can see the action as well as the port disappearing.

We are planning to leave the hotel by 10. Just realistically dont' think we can get up early and everyone ready too early!! But I will look for the green lime signs. I already got all different colors for the door magnets, now looks like I need more green lime ones for our party!! Yeah!!

??? We're not arriving at 10, we are going to be on deck 10 at sail away! We won't be arriving until 1pm at the earliest.

Hi Alison!

I would love for them to meet....Emma is very quick to warm up to new friends.

I'm up for meeting at the sailaway party. Deck 10? What time is the party? It seems we're all anxious for our kids to spend time away from us.

I just booked a dinner for the 4 of us at Kona at the Poly on Mon 3/16 at 7:05pm. Ohana was booked. Oh well, Kona is pretty tasty, too. At least we will get to see Wishes after dinner. I just can't go to Florida and not see a little bit of the World. Maybe we will see some of you that night. Oh...one little thing, I need to confirm this with the hubby first. I'll get back with ya when I know it's a sealed deal.

I finally dug up my ADR schedule. Monday 3/16 is our Ohana night. Our ADR is for 6:45. Meeting up to watch Wishes from the Poly beach after dinner sounds like a plan!

Have you booked any time for Ruby at Flounders yet? I am at a loss of what to book for fear of the baby missing out on something!

 

[Aunt Stepody]

We can meet you for fireworks after your dinner at Kona. We have a 6:30 ADR for Tutto Italia at Epcot, but we can hop on the monorail and make it to the Poly with plenty of time to spare. We will also be able to catch the electrical pageant parade if we are on the beach at the Poly.
Were you able to seal the deal?

Yeah! DH agreed to go to the Poly for dinner. Sounds like a plan, girls... let's meet on the beach by the Volcano pool for WISHES. I was told the fireworks start at 9pm Mon 3/16.

Usually after muster we put away our life jackets and head out on deck...so do you want to say a short time after? I think muster is around 4pm and then we leave port around 5pm....we've never been on a Disney cruise, but I'm sure it is similar to other cruiselines.

We're in! I'll be the one wandering around the dark beach asking if I know you.

PlanoJessie....are you going to be able to make the fireworks?

Also, Txgirl (Viv...trying to put real names w/screen names) aren't you staying at the Poly? Can you make it?

 

[ksoehrlein]

Hooray for our fireworks meet! Should we wear our Lime Green Mickey Heads to that as well?

Hey, do any of you read Deb Wills' web site AllEars? She is having a meet at Kilimanjaro Safaris on Sunday 3/15 at 11 followed by lunch at Flame Tree Barbecue. The kids and I were planning on Animal Kingdom that day anyway, so we'll be hooking up with at least the ride portion of the meet. (Not sure about lunch, but we'll see.) If any of you are up for that as well, it would be great to have you join us!

 

[ksoehrlein]

Kim,
I'll check my email and let you know if I got it or not. A park map might be good. It'll give us an idea of what is where. I'm totally a visual person. I'm seriously thinking of buying that tourguide Mike's info. I'm so not good about standing in long lines.

Have fun!!

Hey Vivian,
Just wanted to see if you got the park maps I sent you. Did you ever subscribe to Tour Guide Mike? My subscription just expired, but I'll probably go ahead and renew it eventually.

I did want to say welcome to K&J Higuchi; Plano Jessie and the Winnefeld Family!! I'm vivian, dh, and dd, maggie is 8. This is our first Disney cruise (DH and I have been on RCCL)and mine and dd's first trip to DW. We will be at DW Poly for 4 days prior to departure.

Oh, we are doing the Spirit of Aloha Dinner at the Polly on Sun. nite; Ohana character breakfast with Lilo and Stitch on Mon. if anyone is interested. We do have ressys and at The luau we are on the main floor center stage.

We are in cabin 7064. I'm glad to see more people on our deck!

Kim and I talked about maybe meeting at Ohana for dinner one night--so if anyone else is interested, it would be fun.

If DW does not work out for a meet, I think we should try to meet somewhere about an hour before the sail away party---well, that's my vote and seems like the least crazy time to meet with such a short amount of time on board.

Vivan, we will be o deck 7 too. Our rooms is 7518 and 7516, we should be pretty close to each other.

Molly, since we booked the Thursday night firework cruise for Dylan's birthday, I may want to wait till then to let the kids see the fireworks. But we will see...I haven't planned out all activities yet. I will let you know sometime next week!

Kim, OMGosh! I did receive a very nice packet from you and I've been meaning to Thank you. It seems I'm getting sick every other week. I'm sick, yet again. Plus, my bro. decided to have a huge surprise bday party for my mom's 70th bday right before we leave (!) and I have to work on 70 yrs. of photos! ohhhhh, I'm so tired and Disney has kind of been forced on a back burner. But, I'm starting to get nervous that I don't have the loose ends for Disney tied up yet.

I haven't subscribed to him yet. (TG mike) I guess I should do that in the next couple of days. Is it worth it???? I haven't found anyone to tell me if it really is.

I'm going to see if we can get reservations at Ohana on Mon. nite (or Kona)...I'm hoping since we are hotel guest we should be able to eat there. Otherwise we are hosed.

Thank you again, you are so very kind to send me all that wonderful info.

Molly,

Hi! Yes, we are at the Poly. I just now "told" dh that we were going to eat at the Poly that night and do whatever it is we are meeting up to do afterward. whew. Since this is all so new to me, I have no idea what wishes is...I'm assuming it's the fireworks display? I've heard the Poly beach is an awesome place to watch the fireworks. I'm excited to be there. woohoo.

[Txgirl1]

Hey guys,

I wanted to post an image of a couple of the magnets I'm doing for our door -esp. the one of the princesses making faces, but my thing on the bottom says I may not post attachments. Durn, I worked hard on the ones I actually did or altered. Lots of great people on this site to help with magnets or tee shirt iron-ons, I'm so impressed.

Yes, wishes is the fireworks show at MK. I'm confused as to when they are...I thought the spectromagic parade was at 9pm and wishes at 10pm....hmmmm I will look into that a bit more.

Hi girls, I just checked the weather for Orlando, looks like it's going to be in the 60s the night we arrive at Orlando, and noticed the average high in March is only mid 70s. Well for those of us from TX, this is pretty "cold"!! But I have seen pictures people posted for Jan and Feb trips wearing shorts and short sleeves. Does anyone have experience in March weather? Kids will be disappointed if they cannot get into the pool.

Also, how about the weather in Nassau and Castaway Cay? I still haven't booked anything yet because I am afraid the water will be too cold. I did order wetsuits for both of my boys, but can someone please give me some assruance PLEASE??? I am so afraid the water will be cold and they will not have fun.
