Hey Erik--It is true that we nearly always stay at a value hotel--so perhaps that is why we don't have bus issues. But, we do end up eating at other resorts at least every other day if not more often. I do admit to never having taken a bus to a DVC resort.
 
Since I have little ones like you, I basically went up and down the aisle in the pharmacy and bought almost one of everything! Children's motrin, Benadryl, band aids, visine, Rolaids, etc...
Lots of wet wipes, autograph books, pens, dry erase board or message pad for the door of the cabin to leave messages, 2 or more swimsuits for each person, ( carry on swimsuis for the kids so you can swim as soon as you board; this is the least busiest time for the pools)

What else guys???


I actually feel like Pharmacy Central! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I have everything....something for upset stomachs, :woohoo: diarreah, :sick: constipation, :sad1: bug bites, :lmao: allergies, cuts, sprains, sore muscles, dry eyes, sunburn, windburn, Mal-de-Mer, :cool2: sore feet, sore knees, Lysol wipes, Purell wipes,laundry soap:laundy: ......etc, etc, etc.....and this is all in addtion to our regular medications that we take everyday!

HONESTLY! I hope I bring it all back home again!
 
Hey Kathy,

It sounds like you had a great night. The New England version of what you just described would be losbters and steamers with corn, rolls, tons of butter, etc. out on the deck while the kids run through the trees (oh and Dave makes the best margarita and ammerreto margaritas). Sometimes we end with a fire and marshmellow roast which always draws every kid in the neighborhood. That is pretty much every Sunday afternoon for us in the summer. I'm sure you'll find a replacement item in Coronado which is just as good in its own way as Old Bay (seems everywhere we live it is something different, but always special and good).

Looking forward to meeting you in two weeks. Stay off the ankle in the meantime:)

Hadley,

I'm very familiar with a New England Clambake. I grew up in Barrington, RI and I spent summers in Newport. My favorite meal is clamcakes, chowder and steamers. Owen loves clam chowder.
 

Ghetto Shakespeare--Laura thanks for the fantastic blow by blow. Took me a while to really stop laughing so I can type again. :rotfl: Good thing no one was flashed by a toga boy. GREAT that the director came to his senses and trusted your costume fashion sense and Puck was a fairy:thumbsup2

Packing tips for Stephanie--A few good things people tend to forget about:
1. Nightlight (interior cabins are very dark)
2. Tide to Go
3. twice as much sunscreen as you think you'll need
4. small bills to tip porters and for room service
5. color copies of passports and copies of credit cards (front and back) and copies of vaccination records of the kids (just in case)
6. Enough diapers, baby food, formaula to make it all the way to Tenerife--they do not sell this on baord at all.

Also, don't forget to call your bank and Credit card company before you leave and tell them where you'll be and when so they don't think your cards are stolen and put them on hold.


:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: cheers! these are great ideas!
 
ABSOLUTLY!!! I am heading to disneyland next Sunday to look for some Disney graduation items. The guy from DCL said to tell our server the 1st night which night we want to celebrate and give him whatever stuff I want them to bring out. What dining do you have? We are in the early seating.

Oh, I am so excited. I def want to plan something!!!


I think we've requested the APL dining rotation.

Ted always wears his mess dress on the formal nights so if your DH has a mess dress uniform it would be a great chance to wear it.
 
Why don't we have our own Kindergarten graduation for our 2 little girls. Any other Kindergarten graduates out there?


Kids didn't graduate from kindergarten back in the olden days when my boys went.....they are 28 and 29 years old. Poor things.
 
Hadley,

KEWL. Funny thing is I can't have shell fish so I just eat the side dishes, but I still really love those days. Rio won't even try seafood (maybe Owen can coax him into it:) ) but Marika LOVES clam chowda, lobster, tilapia, salmon you name it. :scared1: She'll be an expensive date.
 
First - WOW! What an awesome banner you all made!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: Gotta admit looking at that picture makes this trip feel so real! We are actually going across the Atlantic on the Magic! :boat: :hyper2:

Second, Welcome Brooklyn and Family! We are just south of you in SD. Thank you to your husband and your family for his service in Iraq. I have an excel spreadsheet packing list, if you are interested.

Stupid computer did a weird post ... :badpc:
 
i have a big problem...my anti social husband has asked to be at a table with just the four of us....so how am i gonna stash 2 sets of copies without anyone noticing!!!???? :scared1:

You'llhave to bribe one of your friends to do it for you! :hippie:
 
Laura: OMG! I was laughing out loud reading your play by play of the play! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Thank goodness we didn't need to print up "Free Laura" T-shirts, but maybe we should have them on standby ... scalpel? Note to self, don't cross Laura :scared1: :rotfl2:

Kathy, so glad you are healing nicely. I understand your impatience with doing nothing. I was in a removable Fracture Boot when I broke my right foot two years ago. The Dr said I could drive when I could get my foot into a running shoe (for support). After a week, I decided I was going to get into that running shoe if I had to cut my toes off to do it! :rotfl2: Really do stay off it though. Doing too much too soon will only set you back. :wizard: for conitnued quick healing!

Congrats to everyone doing the doc dance aka luggage tag dance :dance3: :yay:

Yea also for everyone who has their passports. Mucho:wizard: :wizard: for those still trying to get that sorted out.
 
Had DD's 13th brithday on Thursday. Finshed the PTA newsletter on Friday. Spent all day at a swim meet today and will do the same tomorrow. Come Monday it is Cruise packing time for REAL!!:yay: :yay: :yay: I can't wait!
 
DIS Meet at DL on 5/6. I "think" we will be able to make this for a little while. Need to see what the homework situation is though. It would be fun to meet a few DIS'er's ahead of time. Kelly, I can finally get the grass skirt to you:thumbsup2 Otherwise, I'll just pack it in my bag for you. (might help with that whole 3 bags thing ...:rotfl2: )

He does have a mess dress uniform. I prefer his regular dress blues though. Not sure which one he will bring. My DH & DD are at Sea World today for Father Daughter Day. So I will ask him when he gets home. :-)
 
Do any of you well connected people who know ever so much about what will be happening on board happen to know who will be the captain on the crossing? Every single DCL trip we have ever been on (even on the WOnder way back when) we have had Captain Tom. We really like him. But it looks like Captain Thord has been onthe Msgic as of late. Anyone know for sure who gets to take the Magic home?
