The docs are here!!! I was correct in my hunch that they arrived while she was on her cruise. She will drop them off in a day or two. I am just relieved they are here. This cruise is now official! Kathy

Still no docs, but DVC says they are on their way.

Just watched the "show". I forgot how many commercials are on regular TV! 1/2 hour show? I'd say it was a 15 min. program with 15 min. of ads lol. It was so great watching the ship! Just think, less than one month it will be our turn! Kathy

I don't "get it" how to fill out some of these docs......like the Bahama's one.....I don't remember this one from last time.

The sea lice usually shows up between Mothers Day and Fathers Day. My friend did get bad lice in Jamaica last April so It does seem to be showing up at different times depending on the location.I havn't ever heard of anyone getting it in March. The Sea safe is easy to find here in FL. Walgreens has it if you have time to shop before the cruise. I don't think you'll need it. As the cruise gets closer I can let you know. My sister in laws Sister lives in ST. Thomas and I'll email her. No docs yet but I booked late.

YEP!.. we will leave after school friday.. so need to make sure the kids have all the homework and projects done, my work is current, etc .. 'cause we will be going on our long awaited CRUISE>>>

3 weeks from tonight we are having a birthday party for me! I will be 50 and we have got a 2 bedroom and a studio at OKW and have invited 10 friends to join us for the celebration.
Really looking forward to the party, but really really looking forward to the BIG BIG birthday celebration on the Magic!

 

[geffric]

happy B'day Muushka .. we can all celebrate with you on the crusie.. but that is really magical to celebrate at OKW.. gonna party in the resort or go and do special b'day things?? ( don't forget the b'day button.. CM will make sure that your day is special.)

 

[Muushka]

Thanks geffric, I appreciate that! We plan on celebrating at the resort. Our friends are from the FL (WPB) area, so WDW is not their idea of having fun (if you can imagine anything so dumb!).

I will be finishing up my packing!!! I am taking the day off on Friday, and we fly to Orlando Friday night!! Woohoo!!!

Miss Eeyour (Marilee), did you get your Bahama form figured out yet? We just got our docs delivered to us today and filled ours out. They have changed a little over the years which includes the Bahama form. If no passport I put a line through the passport area (our daughter doesn't have one). For how you are arriving, I checked the one that said Discovery Cruises/Ferry/other ship then for arrival date put 3/16/04 and city where boarded vessel--Port Canaveral. I filled in our TA info and intended Stay(nights) as a zero. Trip purpose--I put other. Hope that helps. Kathy

 

[Miss Eeyore]

I am thinking that the only time we are in the Bahamas is on CC, s9 I was thinking of using the 26, like you did. I guess all they can do is yank us out of line and make us do it again.

[tecdavidt]

That is correct, we are only in the Bahamas at Castaway Cay. Ever time we go the form is different.

3 weeks from tonight? Hmmm...I'm one of the leaders for a Thursday evening class, but I suspect I'll beg off, and they probably wouldn't want me there anyway as I'm likely to be close to manic Tossing a few almost last minute things in the suitcases (the real last minute things will be the blankets and stuffed animals the boys will be sleeping with that night!) and going back over the lists again and again. I bet we'll watch the video one last time! No school for the kids the next morning; our flight leaves around 11:30 AM

 

[62travelDisney]

woo hoo! docs!!! Now what do I do with them? Do they need to be filled out and sent somewhere now or just ready to deliver later?

My family is drooling all over the picture of the midnight dessert buffet... we may not have dinner that night to make sure we have room for all of the chocolate..

 

[Cara]

Those pictures are AWESOME. I cannot, repeat CANNOT, wait until THREE WEEKS FROM TOMORROW!!! AACCKK!!! EEEK! My list is made, my heart is ready... I may sleep in a deck chair out of sheer exhaustion for the first two days, but hey, I will be in the SUNSHINE!!!

[geffric]

<font color=seagreen>Those pictures were great! I hope mine turn out half as well. I'm starting to feel as though I am not quite ready for the cruise . How un-dis-like of me, I know . Me and the kids have been fighting a cough/fever type of thing and it has been raining and cold for days. My DS's 7th birthday party is next weekend so I have switched to getting things done for that (I do it up big, at home, everything homemade and homecrafted.......). We changed our reservations at SOG for before and after the cruise to May as SOG won't be done in March after all. DH already had the leave approved so we are flying to the UK after the cruise to stay with British friends that we miss very much (they were our neighbors when we lived there). He doesn't know if he can get away from work in May so my Mom is joining us for part of it. Meanwhile I am homeschooling my DS............Sounds as though I am complaining. Actually I'm so excited about everything it's just so much all at once. Now I'm off to the car shop to get the brakes worked on. Taking Math for DS and toys for DD.............(I am feeling slightly stressed).......</font>
