Wow Deb, that is cutting it close with the chicken pox but I'm sure that your DD will be good to go by then.

Deb
Any that break or start to look like that might leave a sore put Neosporen (sorry spelling) on it right away. It will help it heal. I am thinking you will be fine. Just don't itch and they should be gone. Oatmeal bath they say is good too.

 

[mom2jandl]

Oh bummer on the chicken pox! I hope she is better very soon. Have you had them?

I was happy to hear exactly what is supposed to come in these infamous docs! I haven't recieved mine yet but it sounds like they should be coming soon.

We are at the Carribean Beach Resort and have early seating on the cruise.

I am feeling excited that it is sooo close but suddenly feeling a bit stressed about all that I have to accomplish in the next two weeks!

OH MY!
Michelle

 

[deb123453]

thanks everybody. i am hoping she only has a mild case of the chicken pox. now instead of missing 2 weeks of school for our trip it looks like she is going to be closer to a month.well i case it will keep me busy and something else to be doing instead of thinking about our trip all the time.thankfully i have had them already,so i don't have to worry about that.

 

[arianne]

Just taking an informal poll, since I cant remember

Who has early dinner seating and who has late seating??

We have late and stay from may 5 until cruise and one night after in pop century.

10 nights to go

Scottie,
I was thinking about doing the DVC. Has it been worth it? Do you save any money or is it just a convenience? I expect that we will be at Disney frequently during until my son turns about 8 or 9 and then we want to travel out west or out of the country. Are there ways to buy them on a "deal" or are the prices pretty competitive?

Fort Wilderness is great. There is sooooo much to do other then the parks. Outdoor movies, riding trails, campfire and the beach. We love having the deck and the BBQ too. The biggest drawl back, is that the cabins are only one bedrooms with a murphy bed in the family room.

 

[mickey4]

I must say life is pretty good when we only have 2 Weeks from today. Ok I am over it. My son did not want to go to school today with the car pool. I had to tell hom that he only goes with the car pool one more time then we are off to Disney. He then was willing to go. I guess that is the preschooler mood swing for you.

Hey how many suitecase's does everyone think they are taking. I really want to keep it to 4 but I do not know if that will happen. I need to overpack for the kids alittle bit and since we have never cruised before I am not sure how much to bring? Does four sound about right for a family of 4.

 

[ragdoll]

Mickey4, I think you will be doing great if you can only bring four suitcases for a family of four. DH and I bring three and I feel like I pack light. They are not huge suitcases though. Of course now that we cannot carry our duty free liquid purchases on the flight home I have to have some extra room in our suitcases. Those prices are just too good to pass up!

 

[scottie]

Suitcases- I am going to try to limit us to 3 to 4 suitcases for the 5 of us. One big one and then some medium to small ones. I think my adventure at limiting the number of bags may be a sucess.

DVC- Yes, we find it to be a good deal for my family. If we added up the cash cost of the rooms we have stayed in we would have already (a while back) paid for the inital investment in DVC. We have to pay a monthly dues also. When we bought in I think we paid $62.00 per point. It is now up around $109 per point. There is a great resale company on DIS that has nice deals on DVC.

 

[Skyw]

Thanks for the info Scottie. I think I saw some of the those sites for DVC sales before. I think many trips to see Mickey are in our future.

Mickey4 -I definitely think if you can get a family of four in four suitcases you are doing well. My son and I are doing one big one or two medium sized ones. When we went to WDW, we packed two big suitcases and 1 small one for toys. We were there for 5 nights.

 

[mickey4]

Well I got to tell that is great to hear because I was thinking 4 suitcase's sounded like alot. But then again we have never gone a famil vacation before. We are going to start packing next week. We just have so much going on. Zachary even has a tee ball game the night before we leave. And the weekends are a wash out so we are in get ready to leave mode on Monday. Will get our spending money together sometime next week. God I can not believe this has come up so fast. Still no Doc's here. I called like they told me too everday to get a tracking number still no number but the lady called that Dept since I do not want to call everyday I have more important things to be doing they said If I just check the next couple of says they should be out by then.

 

[Skyw]

No docs for me either!!!

 

[mickey4]

Ok here is one I can not come up with a why. The person who lives behind me is doing our smae trip the week after us. She already got her Doc's ?? But good news I got my Tracking number and should have mine by this weekend of Monday the latest. Should not be to long now and I can breath that they are in my hand and did not go over to the other street.

 

[ragdoll]

Got our docs today.

 

[mickey4]

ragdoll that is great. I am sure it is a wonderful feeling.

I should have mine UPS says on Monday. I as always hope they come early.

Michelle

I am with you on the Laundry....I just went to to store for our last food shopping before we leave. We want to eat up everything in the house before we leave. I hate to throw food away.

The house here is so ready to get out of here. My oldest is planning his food he wants to eat on the trip Milk shakes and chicken nuggets is his full food plan for our whole trip. I think we need to open that up a little.

This last full week will fly for all of us. before you know we will not be chatting over the internet but in person won't that be nice.

 

[mom2jandl]

Yep you can tell we have the same age kids!
Our conversation is that everyone has to try at least 5 things that they have never tried before.
My oldest is debating the issue with me but my youngest is naming things she is going to try.

I plan on trying a very tropical drink asap! HEE HEE

Michelle

 

[mickey4]

my youngest will try anything my older one will only eat 5 things that is it. I hope that changes soon. But yes I am with you on the dringks.

 

[scottie]

We do enjoy a tropical drink during the sailaway party from the top deck!
