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

[Skyw]

I think I will call DCL tomorrow. Just for piece of mind.
and yes we do love those kids but the extra stuff that comes with them is crazy.

My DS just came in the room...mom what are you doing? He always finds me!!!

I think we just went to 2 medium sized bags!!! I may be overpacking!!

my son just put the banana's on this port. I am not celebrating not getting my docs.

 

[mickey4]

I found my crocs. I love them. I even got the kids a pair. Easy to wash the sand out. Well I got my answerto the Island form question.

I think we might be able to keep it to four suitecase's. Now I just have to worry about the weight. The whole 50lbs thing Hugh....I guess I will have to weigh them.

 

[Skyw]

You will have to weigh them. My Dh and I actually had to repack out stuff in the middle of the airport. It was a pain. So I find out the limit and then pack accordingly.

We have over 700 posts!!! That is great!

Hi everyone! Next week at this time DH and I will be in the air on our way to WDW. This time I swear that we are going to relax and not try to do everything. Can't wait to ride Soarin' again. That ride is a must do for anybody who hasn't been on it. Really wish I could go on the new coaster at AK. My body just can't take rough coasters anymore. I miss going on the wild new rides. Oh well, I can still handle the whirly coaster at AK and I love that one!

Is the plan to meet in the Promenade Lounge at three o'clock still Ok with everybody?

 

[scottie]

Happy to hear the cruise docs keep rolling in! Skyw- just comission a military plan to fly you to Celebration to pick up your docs!

We are all set to give Sorin' and the new coaster at AK a try this trip. We also want to catch the new Nemo show at AK

 

[mickey4]

I know one week from 3am we will be walking out the door. I must say that sounds wonderful. I am still hoping to keep us to four suitecases. Hoping it the key there.

We have been on soaring and it is wonderful. This time I have to think of the kids and their height before we can jump in line. That will be hard not to do.

 

[scottie]

3AM!!! I hope the kids fall back to sleep for you! I think the earliest we have woken them up for a trip to Disney was around 5AM and that really threw their internal clocks out of wack for a day or so.

This time we dont leave the ground till 11AM so the kids can sleep till around 8AM or so.

Hi There!

Just wanted to say "hi" to everyone. I will also be on the 5/13 4-night Wonder cruise with my DH and two DD, ages 4 and 3. We live out in Southern California and will fly out on 5/12 and stay the night in Cape Canaveral. After the cruise we head to the Animal Kingdom Lodge for 3 nights before heading home. This is our first Disney cruise and we are very excited. My girls are constantly talking about the cruise and asking how many days until we leave. We have yet to receive our docs, but we booked through Expedia and I have been told they should be here by today. I can't wait!!!!

Welcome to our fun ship Disney Style. I too have a 5 and 3 year old and they keep asking how many days. We made a paper chain for them to count down Everyday we take a link off. It has been fun watching it get shorter.

Scottie...Yes I know 3am is early but we wanted a early flight and the kids normally do fall back a sleep for us. I do not know if this will work for this trip with going to Disney. They are already walking around with their heads in the magical clouds. Should be no time at all and we should be getting on that plane. I can not believe it is almost here after 18 months of waiting. I must say I was happy to see it was May and could see our trip with out have to flip the page. It is the little things in life.

 

[scottie]

Yes, Welcome Aboard Callynet!! If you have any questions please ask away and we will all be more then happy to try to assist! Hopefully those cruise docs will arrive soon for you!

Mickey4- that is what I was thinking too, who could sleep knowing they will be landing in the wonderful world of Disney when the plane takes off!

 

[mickey4]

I know I was thinking that but we wanted the 1st flight and well we got it. The big thing is we only have 4 days and want to see as much as the kids will let us. So we want to hit the ground running. I do think they will sleep on the plane. They fall a sleep in the car if it is longer than a 30 min ride so I think they will fall a sleep ok I hope they will. It is our test run what can I say. It will have to work.

 

[scottie]

I still need to pick up a picture matte to have the characters sign. However, I saw a picture of the pirates litograph you can get on the ship for $10.00 with a $50.00 purchase and it is very nice looking from the photo. So I may opt to get that and hand it into Guest Services for the characters in the litho to sign.

I ran across some new arm floats at Walmart for my son and they look much nicer then the normal ones you buy for a couple of dollars. These were adjustable and made for infants. MIL said she would pick up a pair for him, hopefully!

 

[mickey4]

Well I guess you can say we are all in crunch time and that this is coming up really fast. But I must say it does seem like today is going slow. I did get some stuff done today. but I feel like today is going at turtle pace. I am crawling out of my skin for this weekend to get here and if it is this bad now how will it be come sunday with only like 3 days until we leave. I can tell it has been sometime since my last vacation (2001). Because I feel like a little kid waiting for santa.

 

[mickey4]

OK proud Parent moment.....I must tell you Zachary has done wonderful in his 1st and 2nd tee ball game. I love watching him play and run the base's is so cute. He is so small.....Go A's!!!

 

[deb123453]

we are down to 5 days, we leave our house sunday night at 11. I am still trying to figure out if there is anything else i need to do before we leave.

 

[mickey4]

Deb....You guys must be so ready to get on that plane. How did your DD heal from the chicken poxs. I am sure they are about gone by now. So we will not be seeing any more posts from you after this weekend until our return. Hope you and your family have a safe flight and get there with no problems. ANd have agreat few days before our fun ship sets out to sea. Maybe we will see you on the boat. Good luck with the last min packing.

 

[scottie]

deb123453- I know one thing you need to do still.... pack me in your suitcase so I can start the trip as early as you!!

Mickey4- happy to hear tball is off to a good start!

 

[Skyw]

Callynet- Welcome!! I also have a 3 year old but he is a boy. You will have to tell me how AKL was. I would love to have a room with of a view of the wildlife. I did eat at the buffet there!!! Yummy!!! Where are you staying at port?

Scottie- I wish it was that easy to get an aircraft. Plus, I have been grounded since Dec thanks to my sinus surgery's. I am not too worried. We didn't get the plane tickets from disney. I figure as long as I am on there web site...I am good to go. However, getting the Docs would be one step closer to going. It marks the last check point before we go.

Mickey4- Boy, I can't wait until my son is old enough for sports. He needs something to use all of that energy with! Did you cry when you watched him play? I cry at every wonderful milestone my son makes. It is so cool to watch them grow.

Ragdoll- I hear ya on the roller coasters. I used to love them. I attempt one every year, and come out a little sick and my brain hurts. It is very disappointing. Although I still would go on the one at AK. I did the mummy at universals and that didn't bother me a bit.

 

[mickey4]

SkyW...No I did not cry. I think it was one moment I did't feel the need. I was having so much fun. And Zachary hit the ball and ran to 1st base but on the way he picked up the ball and took it with him. I was laughing so hard and yelling drop the ball. I think that is a moment I will always remember. He now wants to play football in the fall. We will see about that.

 

[mickey4]

Will we hit 800 post before it is time to leave.
