Lynn --we will be totally happy on deck 2 but would just love a verandah if possible. We're kindof tight though , so it will have to be at a good price for us to pay for an upgrade. We'll see how it goes. I just can't wait to get on that ship!

 

[SB's Mom]

Earlier post should have read that I didn't ask for it! She just got it for us! How wonderful she is!!!!!!!!!!

We are now in 7128 on deck 7!

We are to be on the 1st shuttle from the Radisson on Saturday. . .DD will have a lime green shirt over her swimsuit and matching skirt. . .I'll have a pink "hawaiian" shirt with blue short . . . don't know about DH. . .he hasn't packed yet!

We'll be at the Radisson too! Maybe we'll see you in the lobby on Saturday morning. I'll look for the Hawaiian shirt and you can look for the family of four with old navy st. patrick's day shirts. I hope we see one another!

 

[SB's Mom]

Susan. . .when do you travel to Orlando? We will arrive at the Radisson after 10 p.m. . .it is an eight hour drive for us and we plan to leave about 1 p.m. . .then you taken in dinner, traffic, and potty stops!. . . Like you, we are happy just to be on the ship. . .but the upgrade is a wonderful suprise!

Also. . . I see you are planning to cruise Hawaii. . .have you booked that yet? We did a 10 Hawaii trip for our 10 anniversary 2 years ago. . .it was so much fun. . .we didn't cruise but we did 2 island.

See you soon!

Johnna Story. . .were they offering parasailing on CC? Our family loves it and we understand that is has been stop!

We are getting at the Radisson after 10:00 as well. We'll be pretty late. We have already booked our Hawaii cruise. We are going next spring break. We fly to Honolulu and then get on a ship for a 7 night cruise that goes to four different islands. My inlaws are there doing the exact same thing right now. My DH has always wanted to go to Hawaii, so we are pretty excited about it.

Can't wait to see everyone. I just hope I get packed....

Charlene --- Excellent news on the upgrade! I'm so jealous! I'm keeping my fingers crossed we might can swing one in the terminal, but we'll be fine down on 2 if not.

Disneypoor---We're on the first shuttle at the Radisson, too. Look for us all in lime green shirts with Disney characters. My kids will probably be running around driving everyone nuts so we'll be hard to miss!

See you all soon!

Sima, I couldnt remember if you are flying or driving. Wondering if we could be on the same flight???? Paige

 

[GreenTad]

Hey, Paige! We're driving, We're heading out about 9am and are going to try to drive straight through with lunch being drive-thru burgers. Ick! Hope you have a great flight!

Charlene

I'm 99% sure there was parasailing. I can double check my navigator when I get home. Have a great trip!!

 

[jenbrem1]

All right - who's packed? I'm about halfway there. 2 days from now we'll be heading to the airport. Here's hoping for friendly skies for all of us. NO DELAYS!!

 

[Daytonamom2]

For all of you that are driving if you need anything when you come through Daytona Beach let me know. Just PM me and I can send you my phone number. We are not that far from 95.

You can locate us at the port very easy. I will be the lady with the wal mart and target bags if my husband does not get the suitcases out of the attic tonight.

Can't wait to see everybody. Lynn

Last year when we went to St Thomas we docked but I read that we have to tender. Is that true.

 

[SB's Mom]

Jennifer. . .DD and I could walk out the door tonight for the cruise. . .most of our things are in the bags! DH hasn't started packing!

Charlene

 

[disneypoor]

Well, everyone is packed but me. I can't seem to figure out what I want to take. Everything I try on looks yucky. I'm going to try forgetting it for tonight and then try again tomorrow to see if I think they look better on me. I think I'm just having "one of those days". I probably won't sleep much tonight or tomorrow night. My school kids just finished their reading state assessments, and we are having an "Effort Party" at school tomorrow. It will be a long day!

Talk to everyone soon!

Susan

 

[pop5]

Susan, I know what you mean about the clothes. I hate trying on swimsuits. I keep thinking they will look better "tommorrow" too!! We fly out tommorrow at 3. We are staying at the airport Hyatt. Are any of you staying there? Paige

 

[jenbrem1]

We're staying at the Holiday Inn Express near the airport. Our flight doesn't get in until 10:30 so it will be a late night. We are using Florida Tours transportation to the port. If any of you will be getting to the port around 10:30, my son is planning on meeting his new email pal by the model of the ship around then.

 

[MN Dis Fans]

Hi Everyone!
We'll be staying at the Embassy Suites near the airport, and should arrive around 9:00PM tomorrow (Friday) night, although DW told me earlier this week that she was taking the day off work tomorrow. Had I known that several months ago, I would have booked earlier flights. Oh Well. We may try to fly stand by and catch an earlier connection, just have to see what sort of availability there is later today.
It's going to be very interesting to see how I manage to get our luggage (6x persons) into the mini-van we're renting, and hopefully no hernia hoisting them in. We're just about all packed, just need to do a double check, and a bit of re-arranging.
I wish & pray for safe journey's to the port for everyone!
See you all on the boat Saturday!
Paul

Charlene --- Congratulations on the upgrade!!!

My DH talked about trying for one at the port, so we'll see. I'm happy on Deck 2! I'd rather save the money and maybe go to WDW next year on Spring Break --- we'll see.

We are almost all packed --- I had to add another suitcase and hanging bag-- I think we are up to 9 bags, sure hope Midwest isn't one of the airlines charging for more than one bag!!! I'm worried about our rental car --- we may be sitting on suitcases!!!

We're staying at Boardwalk tomorrow (can't believe it!) then driving to the port Saturday morning. Don't know when we'll get there, I know we want to be early -- but DH doesn't seem to think there is any reason to hurry. We'll be wearing Old Navy St. Pat's attire --- myself & DH in the grey and DD's in black tanks.

Looking forward to seeing all of you --- safe travels!!

 

[disneypoor]

Patty--when are you flying out? We are flying Midwest out of KC tomorrow night. I just thought maybe we'd end up being on the same flight.

 

[Daytonamom2]

I hope nobody has flight delays today. It was on the news this morning. Rain today but clearing tonight. Low tonight 55 and high tomorrow 68/70. See you at the port. Lynn
