May 24, 2014 Alaskan 9 night Wonder

[pequele]

Not sure where y'all would get them but.....I would stop by Uncle Sam's supply store and buy some DH has used them when he has done training during the winter in VA. We will be getting some other winter supplies from there. Maybe binos also.

I freeze at 70 Gonna need lots of hand wamers and I was planning on packing them into checked luggaged. Not carrying them with my knife , whoever decided on that change was Did not think about shipping it to the ship. How soon could we mail something to the ship? How soon before we sail does the ship get there?

ok wasn't thinking about the ship being in Alaska...was thinking about all the people who say they ship to the ship but then realized as Chris said, that was likely to PC... duh!

And if I mail a box, will they hold it there? How would that work? Kinda understand how it would work to PC but I thought the address for the ships route through Orlando/PC. Am I wrong about that? I have to mail it really early from here to get there because it is on a space available basis. Mail here can take from 2-12 weeks depending on the seasson

Just started my spreadsheet, got one for packing. My first ever One started for excursions. DH is going to think I have totally lost it. Not that I really had

yeh, I wasn't thinking fully! sorry

Whoo, I missed a lot!

I thought about that. But I'll really have to hunt someone down if they messed with it.

I don't think it's wrong. As long as there is only a magnet to hold it to the door I don't think DCL would have a problem.

I was thinking of writing a nasty message in silver sharpie on the back of the to any would be thieves. Maybe it would get returned before they got five feet away from my door.

hehehe I like that. I also thought about installing a dye pack on the back so it would explode all over the offender(s)

Chrissy, I am boarding in San Diego and doing the California Coast cruise and then staying on for Alaska. I was thinking about shipping my box of stuff (FE, maybe some wine, etc.) to the hotel where we are staying prior to boarding in California. Not sure just where we will be staying, but I will call them first to make sure it is ok to ship to the hotel. We often ship to our hotel at WDW, but then, that is Disney, so I am not sure how a non-Disney hotel would respond. I then plan take a collapsible duffel in my luggage to use to take the stuff on board. It will be easier to transport than a box.

When I have done magnets in the past, I have always put my cabin no. somewhere on the magnet that it would not be easy to cut out, like in the middle, doesn't usually mess with the design too much, but keeps anyone from wanting it for their own.

good idea, but not quite as fun

Oh, LOL, I put the nasty message on the back too.

How about if we punch a hole in the magnet, attach a string to each, long enough to string to the other side of the door and tie to the door handle on the inside sort of like pens at the bank

No worries, it's not like you don't have things you gotta keep up with other than where I live

I love the dye pack idea. Would that be considered Evil and un ? hehe


Well, our trip keeps getting better and better. Dad and Brother now have the contact info for our agent. FMiL and Aunt also have the contact info This is turning into a regular family reunion Now if SIL comes I would be really impressed, but not counting on it. Gotta tell everyone to keep it quiet Gonna surprise the kiddos with family at the ship

Why do you think I am here?

My secret weapon, bahahaha

I getta big kick outta giving things to people, especially when I know it is something they really like. If I could figure out how to pack, not "give Christmas" gifts ad get what we need for the cruise, I would not tell them till we got on the plane.

Actually, I almost blew it. Forgot to tell the TA to use plain packaging when sending us anything Anyway, DD got the sneaky strak from Mom and "hid" the envelope from DS. I played it off as we requested info from them about the vow renewal

I think hell frozen over cause MIL AND SIL(and family) are most likly joining us. MIL is booking and will give us her ressie number. SIL has to figure out how to get kids out of school 1 day early. They get out of school on the 23. DH is thinking he wants to bail now, too much family I told him our own room and plenty of drinks

IF y'all don't mind some more additions to the FE group, might see if they want to join. I figured I would wait till they booked and send out a blast email with all the wonderful info from y'all.

The visual that gave me was HILARIOUS!

Me 4! The day I booked, I met my daughter at the door when she came home from school because I couldn't wait to tell her.

Why do you think I am here?

Vent away. Your secret is good entertainment.

Sorry, I'm confused. So your daughter knows? Or are you saying you covered you tracks with her too? Interesting she instinctively hid the envelope.

I vote yes on the FE. As long as they're on the ship those dates and want to join, I say give them the link. (Not that I expect any pranksters to sign up.)

For those of you with small children, Disney Parks Blog posted family friendly PAs for Alaska with a cool video of the White Pass Scenic Railway Youth Activity in the Skagway port. Almost makes me wish I was a kid so I could do it too.

Glad I can provide some entertainment

She thought she figured it out I managed to cover my tracks. DD thinks she knows all and knows Mommy Mommy has been around a few more years I am sssoooo rotten.

I will stress the importance of full particaipatation(sp). I am pretty sure if they join they would do it.

Gotta work on the excursion list for DH.

Yep, the Mommy advantage saves almost every time. What a close call!

So I got the little packet in the mail this weekend about my cruise! Yeah!! Though it does say welcome to your first DCL cruise. Do you think after we return in May from our FIRST DCL cruise I can call em and say "an you send me a new one please?"

LOL I think they're going to make you wait until 2014 before you get your next one. But you could always try resealing the envelope and when you're in the mood open it again and pretend like they sent you another one.

I hope that isn't needed for anything as I didn't keep the one I got a few weeks ago.
