May 13, 2007 EARLY Roll Call 5/13/2007 4-Night Wonder

[scottie]

Good luck with the early to bed the night before the cruise. I believe the last two times we sailed we gave that a whirl, with no luck! There wasn’t an eye shut tight in the hotel room till well past the anticipated sleep time. Guess it is just all the excitement of knowing you get to head to port the following morning?!

I would love to read that thread on the 3 ladies who took the DC but I am not sure where it is...anyone with a link?
Michelle

passporter.com is the site. Just click on Disney Cruises, and them reviews. It is a great review but....they haven't updated this weekend. But the first pages are great. It is only at the sail away party so far.

 

[Skyw]

Mickey4....good luck with your DH tomorrow.

 

[mickey4]

Thanks for all the well wishes. I am so happy to see the trip this week will be less than 20 days away . I must say days are going by and the weather is more like spring. The snow is gone and it is into the 50's here. I think this next week it is going to stay warm which means we can go outdoors and play.

Scootie did you get the Dyson? How do you like it if you did?

 

[scottie]

A Dyson weekend it was! I personally dont care what vaccum we have but the DW REALLY wanted one so she now has her very own. She has been a vaccuming fool since we brought it home Friday night. Guess it is an early b-day gift for her!

Well at times that is all that matters the wife is happy.

Well I woke up this moring in a great mood. It was sunny and going to be 60 this week. And the talk turned to packing and travel documents. I must say this is a wonderful day so far.

I was going to call to see if Documents we sent yet for a tracking number. They did say the latest they would be sent in April 25 but I hope they come early. So new Disney Mail always makes the day better.

 

[Skyw]

The weather is nice here too!!! Thankfully. I however, woke up with a rebound headache. I am coming off of the pain medicines and wow!!! I got a horrible headache. Luckily for me DH is off today and he can help with my DS. He is at nursery school this am.

I just checked prices again. No discounts. I did notice that alot of navigators balconies were open. I suppose I am happy with our window. I was worried about Luke jumping off of the balcony. He is a boy!!! And thinks he is Buzz Lightyear.

Is is just me or aren't there enough reviews for 3/4 day trips!!!! I get my coffee ready, sons is in school, no one to bother me, and ......no new TR.

Scottie, saw your question on the hotel posted. What are you going to do? I think we will stay put. I am going to look at pictures on line and check prices again.

 

[mickey4]

Well folks I just called DCl with one last question and got lot more answers then I was asking. I got my buss pick up time from our hotel to port. I also got my check in time at the hotel for the boat. And I found out our Documents have been created and we should have them in a week. since we are doing the Land/Sea package. . I must say that makes my day that much better.

 

[scottie]

Cant wait for the cruise docs to arrive here too! Did the online checkin so I feel that much closer. That was nice of them to share all the additional info about buses etc. with you.

As for hotels still not real sure. I emailed the MIL this AM to see if she wants to flip the resv to the Country Inn from the Radisson. $50 savings and likely $20 savings on breakfast might make it worth it. However, I would love to try those sleep number beds at Radisson for a night!
Skyw- maybe you should flip to there too if we do, then your son can splash around with my kids in the pool

 

[RhondaInMA]

Well.... I guess it's our turn for the bad weather now. We are in the middle of a horrible spring Nor'easter here. High winds.... rain.... flood warnings... I can't wait for spring to really get here.

 

[mom2jandl]

Wow all that info! I am thinking I might try and call today to see what information I can find out.
OK so a question for you all...any good ideas on what small activity we can do on the last day. We don't fly out until 7 pm at night on our return and we have to get off the boat so early. My girls will go crazy being in the airport all day to then get on a plane for such a long flight!

We were told that taking a day room at the hyatt right at the airport is good. That way the kids can swim all day and watch the planes take off.

 

[scottie]

If you have transportation... might consider Kennedy Space Center for the day.

 

[mom2jandl]

Ooh those are both good ideas. We will not have transportation so the day room thing might be a good thing for us. I will check it out.

Thanks!

 

[scottie]

I chatted with the MIL today and narrowed down our room for the night before sailing to either a kids suite at Country Inn or two rooms via Priceline at whatever hotel we can land in the 2.5-3 star range.

 

[mickey4]

I do not know about you guys but I have been walking around with my head in the clouds lately. The Diseny clouds. I even forgot to send my son's school work with him today to school. Hugh.

This trip seems to be coming up really fast now. I hope this pass keeps up.

 

[mom2jandl]

Oh my gosh I am the same way right now. It's like everything comes back to Disney.
I've got to go to the dry cleaners...hmmm doing laundry on the ship...got to make dinner...hmmm won't be doing that on the cruise....have to give the girls a bath...hmmm can't wait to hit the mickey pool...have to pay bills..hmmm don't want to know what the damage is...hee hee!!

[scottie]

That is one of our fav parts of vacation... letting all the normal worries of every day life just disappear for a handful of days!

 

[mickey4]

Yes We got a surplus back from our escrow account I said great pay the mortage next month early so we have more to spend in Disney. Everything comes back to Disney. I can not wait. Even some teachers at my son's school that he does not deal with will ask how many more days. Because they love Disney.

I love the pace this week because we are so busy but we will see if it goes into next week. The weather here is spring like it should be 60 today. Which is a nice change from our snow.
