March 7, 2010 4 Night Wonder

[Sccrmnky2005]

We just booked country inn and suites for march 6th through priceline. Does anyone else plan on staying around cape canaveral the night before we set sail? I called to see if peaking and shuttle were extra like many threads have posted but both times I called they said it was included just tell them you plan on taking the shuttle when checking in. I'm getting excited!

We are actually flying down on the 5th from BWI - staying at the Beach Club until Sunday am - so we wont be around that area...I am really hoping for warm sunny weather with no wind. It is snowing again - forecasting for another 12 inches of snow...on top of the 22 iches we got on Saturday.a href="http://www.magicalkingdoms.com/timers/"><img src="http://www.magicalkingdoms.com/timers/tickers/.png" alt="magicalkingdoms.com Ticker" border="0"/></a><br> <a href="http://www.magicalkingdoms.com/timers/"> <font size="-1">Free Disney Tickers</font></a>

Well at least you will be here in nice sunny florida. But right now it's not so sunny!! It has rained all day and supposed to rain again on Friday and be a nice Valentines weekend! Let's hope we have great weather luck when we sail, like last year! I just can't wait to get back on that ship!! I have started putting things in a pile that I come across that I know needs to go on with us. THe stack is getting bigger! That's good.

Now have to get a little bag ready for the night before the cruise! And figure out where we plan to eat and do during the day!

Also need to get the rest of my FE's finished and figure out how to pack them.

Only 3 more sundays until we set sail!!

we have blizzard warnings....

This is the most snow I can ever remember having in one winter. It is unbelievable. i will post some pics later on fb. oUR BULL DOG LOVES IT

Hi everyone, for everybody that has a countdown ticker at the end of your posts, how do you get them there? My daughter made one this morning and both of us couldnt figure out how to get it at the end of my signature. Please reply with directions....Thanks!

We might get snow this weekend, I hope not since we were planning on traveling 2.5 hours north of here to visit my sister.

I would be up for a group meet if anyone else wanted to, maybe a gathering by the pool one day?

Okay jackieslp, let me give you instructions for the countdown.

When you come to the disboards on the dark blue line click on user cp, look to the left side and click edit signature. Copy and paste the code into the box, then click preview and it should work. If it does nto show up then go back to the website and try using another version of the code (html or img will normally work.)

HTH!!!!

I'm down for a group meet. Usually they are on the frist day either in the terminal before boarding or the ship a few hours after boarding. Me and DBF will be wearing our shirts that I made from a wonderful disigner on the DISign boards.

Has anyone booked Palo for brunch or Dinner? We did Palo dinner on our first cruise and alothough it was nice I would do Dinner again. I'm thinking we might try and book brunch this time. Not sure yet.

Also planing on defintly doing the Palo Wine Tasting one day together.

And that's the only plans we have for the cruise

 

[MPwifey]

I am assuming we will be at the terminal early since we have our own car and will probably drive to the port, and although we will not be wearing t-shirts ( Dh will not wear anything matching) I am making something for the FE that should help us.

I would love to book a high tea for Palo, but I cannot find a way to make reservations for it, is there not one on this cruise?

 

[jackieslp]

Group meet would be fun - lets shoot for in the terminal as we will be there early too - hopefully the rest of our FE gang will be as well. If not, we could always do it a little later. Funny about the matching shirts. I just tye dyed shirts for the 5K royal family run we are doing on the 6th at disney...my DH and DS are both good sports by wearing them. I don't think i will ever be able to make them wear them again though. I really wanted to do the 1/2 marathon bc it is the princess 1/2 but can't because we want to leave early from BCV to get to port...I am hoping we will be there by 9:30-10 or so. Jason is going to drop us off with all of our luggage and then he will go return the enterprise car and have them drop him off at the ship - it will be easier this way for us....3 weeks to go!! Yippee....

This will be our 10th cruise, so I just thought I would mention that in the past, the group meets that we have gone to have been at around 3:00 right before the ship drill (and everyone tends to head back to the room at 3:30 to get life jackets). The meets I have been to have all be held in the Promenade Lounge. No one is else is usually there at that time so there is plenty of seating.

Also, there isn't usually any activities going on at that time, and everyone should be on the ship by that time.

The terminal is usually hectic because there will be a lot of other people there, but everyone is trying to figure out what to do, and then you will want to get a good spot to wait for your number to be called.

But whatever everyone else wants is fine. I just thought I would mention what I have seen done in the past.

 

[westjones]

Thought I would check again and see if there are going to be any teens joining us. I have twin DDs 16 who will be going to Aloft.

That sounds good to me! How does the 3:00 sound to everyone else? Thanks for providing that suggestion....still cant get that ticker up...must be doing something wrong...also, I guess i am officially on a diet for 3 weeks that way i can eat anything I want on the cruise and still fit into my shorts (hopefully able to wear shorts).

Go to

USER CP

at the top (it is on a red bar on my computer) right under the bar that shows a twitter logo and facebook logo

Then go to EDIT SIGNATURE

and past in the code for that. My code is :

Except I put in double spaces at all of the [ and ] so it will show up in this message. You have to take them out to make them work. But you would use whatever ticket you want and just paste in the code in the box where you edit your signature.

3:00 at the promenade sounds good to me. I am not sure when we will get to port as we are staying at the country inn and suites. I made a reservation for our couple massage on our sea day.

 

[westjones]

Sorry I haven't bee good about following this thread, but has anyone put together a "name" list. I see all of our DIS board names, but our actual names?

For us it will be:

Jim (DH)
Debra (me)
Chantelle (DD16)
Michelle (DD16)

I can't believe how close our sail date is coming. I just hope we have better weather by then. Last year we were on this very same cruise and the weather was perfect! That had been our 9th Disney cruise and that one was the best weather of any of them. So I was hoping for the same, but this weekend with all of the weather issues is starting to worry me.

We are also staying there! I called and they said that the shuttle runs at 10:30 then every 30 minutes after that. I think I might have DBF drop me off so I can check in earlier then he will ride the shuttle back at 10:30am. It's easier I think than having to lug your luggage to the Shuttle, but haven't decided yet what we plan to do.

Weather is a major concern for us too. They are forecasting more snow this week and it looks like weather down south isn't much better. On our last cruise (november 2008) we never had the sail away party because a water spout developed over the water and pulled the ship away and everyone couldn't get on and the ship had to be repositioned and then when we got to the Bahamas the rain was coming down sideways!! Our CC day was a little nicer as we snorkeled in the am and rode bikes and had lunch - after lunch a storm came in - I am really really hoping for great weather!

Tyler - almost 13

Weather here in orlando today is pretty nice at least we have the sun out which makes for a nice warm day if your standing in the sun. Hope we have good weather for our sailing in 3 weeks!!!

ONLY 3 WEEKS LEFT!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!

 

[MPwifey]

I am so excited, my last day of work before the cruise is the 2nd, then we are driving to FL to visit family so our vacation starts in 16 days!!!!!

I got a bathing suit for my daughter and me yesterday, and I am trying to find out if DH's nice clothes still fit. Now if only I can get him to try them on.

Oh our names are

Megan ( me)
Jeff ( dh)
Carol ( MIL)
Carlee ( 2 )
