OK! Coming to visit you in Hershey right after I have a chocolate bath at the spa!!

Good morning everyone! I am super neurotic...but saw that the UK cancelled all non-essential travel to Mexico. NOW, I have to worry about the satelites.(sp) I feel like Chicken Little!! (he was very cute and an incredible dancer)

Just when I think I am organized The house again looks like a bomb blew up in it!!!! The nerve of people to want me to do my job today!!

The spa at Hershey Hotel...my wife would definintely join you. She hasn't done the choc. bath yet but it certainly sounds interesting.

Laura-In case I don't hear from you, have a safe trip down to WDW, relax, enjoy and I'll be looking forward to seeing you on the boat! Don't forget your bracelet!!

PS-If you pass by Virginia and want to pick me up, I won't argue!

Have fun!!!!

We could drop a line from the plane! Thanks for the well wishes!

I printed out our boarding passes this morning, that makes it all just a little more real! The house is cleaned, heading out this morning to do a little more shopping for the kids and some errands, then it is back home to finish up our packing, double and triple check everything and make dinner!

This time tomorrow we will be in the sky!

Ok... if we don't stop at Cozumel I think we should stop as far away as possible from there....

say.........CASTAWAY CAY!!

Well, I'm officially on holidays We are leaving early tomorrow morning for Orlando and doing the MK for three days. I can't wait for Saturday ! It's our first cruise !

Everybody here is also worried about the Mexico situation. I work in a health clinic, so everybody came to the front desk where I work and gave me masks !!

Like Zerog said, we are going to enjoy ourselves wherever we go, because we're on HOLIDAYS !!!

I'll try to check to msg board while I'm in Florida this week to see if anything changed. Can't wait to see everyone Saturday afternoon !

Good morning all early risers!
I'm sure Laura is about coming out of her skin....after such a long wait, it's finally here!!
It was very nice to read this morning that IF we get diverted at all, we will most likely get a "make up" port. Come to think of it, wouldn't it be fun altogether if Disney held a "Mystery Cruise, Destination Unknown"?

As far as chocolate spas go, I think I'll pass. After no chocolate for 2 months, I'm afraid I'd eat the whole tub!!

say.........CASTAWAY CAY!!

I was thinking about Castaway Cay, but it would be nice to see another country of some sort. Perhaps....Aruba or Belize??? I do not want to go to Nassau! I guess we are going wherever the boat takes us!

 

[AdventureLover67]

Anik-Have a wonderful time at WDW! Are you planning on taking your daughter to the "Bibbity Bobbity Boutique" for a princess makeover?
Wishing you safe travels!

 

[AdventureLover67]

Laura-Aruba or Belize would be an awesome alternative port!

 

[Winstanik]

Anik-Have a wonderful time at WDW! Are you planning on taking your daughter to the "Bibbity Bobbity Boutique" for a princess makeover?
Wishing you safe travels!

That's exactly what she wants to do ! When we looked at the DVD that Disney sends you, when the princess makeover came up, she jumped up into the air and was all excited ! When people ask her what will she do at WDW, she said that she is going to get all dressed up like a princess!!

 

[AdventureLover67]

Anik-Please get lots of pictures of your beautiful little princess....If she get's the princess gown, then I guess you won't need to pack her anything else but a swimsuit!
Have a great time, and I think Zerog posted beautiful weather for all of you who are going this week.

 

[FLUFFYCAT]

We are staying at the Hyatt too! Maybe we will see you there!

mjlewis23, I hope to see you at the Hyatt on Friday. We will be there around 4 pm. My boys will probably be swimming at the pool when we get there.
Thanks Brian for that great information!!! I trust Disney will know what to do.
Happy Anniversary Laura!!!! My husband and I are celebrating our 20th anniversary on the cruise.
Three days until I leave for Florida!!!!!!!!

I have read through a lot of these postings so thanks to all who have really put this swine flu in perspective.

My 2 cents...

I am NOT canceling the excursion I booked (Dolphin Swim) since DCL will refund if we do not port in Cozumel but for anyone who is thinking about it you have until Thursday to cancel without costing you $$... I figured if some people are getting off why not go enjoy.

If we do not port in Cozumel that would be disappointing by the possibility of a surprise port is very exciting. Even if we just float for an extra day, maybe that would give me an oppertunity for a brunch at Palo as I missed those reservations, another possible surprise!!!

Regardless the cruise is what you make of it. If you go to have fun you will. If you go thinking you might get disappointed you might... Just roll with it.. YOUR ON VACATION!!!!

Have fun!!! Did you get the ressies for the BBB.....Call them ASAP! There are two of them; one in the Magic Kingdom and one in Downtown Disney!! The prices are little high.... i was not shocked but WOWSA! Then again, what is not pricey that involves the mouse!

Keep that chocolate spa away from my DD6 - she would drink the entire bath. My DD6 is the choco-holic, whereas my DS9 goes for the more salty foods, like chips.

I have her appointment for Thursday. I was suprised too when I saw the prices, but you are only 5 once !!! I know I would of love to do this when I went to WDW for the first time when I was 6 ?

 

[MGM4EVER]

I would be very surprised with todays news and the UK ban on travel to Mexico if we still go there. Don't think that's going to happen.

But is anyone concerned the voyage won't happen at all? What with the UK ban on all travel to Mexico, and both congress and the senate holding meetings today about possible further measures? I hope we get to go someplace. Any check with DCL this morning yet?

Will Brits who might already be in the states at WDW be denied boarding because of the UK ban put in place this morning over there?

Anyone plan on checking with DCL today?

Welcome to our forum Joe.

You're exactly right! Last year, there was a big discussion on the boards about the behavior of adults when the Magic/Wonder was unable to dock at Castaway Cay. I don't remember whether this was due to weather or equipment, but that was besides the point. People reported that adults were angry and yelling at CMs; even using bad language, in front of children no less. Members of my cruise forum from last year all agreed that we would not act in such a manner under any circumstances, because nothing ever goes exactly as planned and By-Gee, we were on vacation! The philosophy we all agreed upon was: Unless the ship was sinking, we would enjoy the cruise to the best of our ability.

DS3 will hide in the corner to sneak chocolate!!
