I only have like a minute and a half to respond to all the posts - ack!

Tracey - welcome to the fishy people group!

Melissa - I owe you a PM... I'll do it in a moment.

disneyfan21 - alas no lime green shirts for us, tried to get to shirts and it's just not going to happen. But I will have the Home Depot Lime Green Mickey Head in my lanyard!

Mary - ACK! You used the "S" word...

Kim - LOL!!! I thought the same for a moment - oh look, older kids. LOL!!! BTW, I'm STILL laughing at the luggage picture.

Nicole - don't let us tease you too much hon - us old farts are just jealous! - you have a beautiful family!

We got our documents yesterday, too! So now we're all set. I just need to get everything done on my "do before we go" list. It's quite long, almost longer than the packing list. We all can't wait!

Jenny, I am in the same place that you are. My "do before we go" list seems harder than my packing list. I ended up finishing my list while getting my hair done the other day and my stylist said "are you writing a novel" I think I put to much out there. Also, Jenny I am sorry to say that we are also on the same deck as you and with a Cat 11 so if you hear my kids running all day and night then I am sorry. Just kidding. They will probably be at the kids activities for the time they open to they close.

Now for the rest of you.....if I get ID because of your comments.J/k I think the crown made me look younger. I don't know how many times it happens when we go to downtown disney and my daughter goes to club libby lu and I end up wearing the crown or she wants to take off the hair but I end up always either putting it away or wearing it. Now for my dh, he just acts young. Ok, I won't start about my husband, I am just mad at him since I always have to get him into the disney spirit. He is not bouncing off of the walls like me about this trip. I hope it will hit him when we arrive.

Now back to my list.

You're in for it now - you know DCL keeps up on these boards!

I think the crown made me look younger.

THAT'S IT!!!! The secret!!!! At last!!!! I'm getting a crown, and it's never coming off. I'll be sleeping with it, showering/bathing with it, working with it, lounging by the pool with it, and yes swilling in the swanky suite with it... you name it! Finally the secret to looking younger has been revealed! Who needs botox if you have a crown!

Just kidding - it must be my silly night!

If I was as creative as Kim I would have taken a pic of me in a crown and asked everyone if they thought I looked younger!

But seriously, I agree, I did think it made you look younger!

Melissa, I just took a peek at the spreadsheet, and you ROCK!

Not only did you break down the age groups for us, but you also have the deck and side of the ship for each stateroom! The only way you could have made things easier is if you had done the shopping for us! You're awesome - thank you SO much!

 

[MousseauMob]

FYI - I updated the first post with the Panama Canal Webcams

I can't believe our ship leaves in 4 days on her way to us!

 

[MrSanderz]

Ellen - thanks for the canal webcams link. Can't wait to see the Magic there!

Melissa - thank you, thank you!!! The list and I are shopping tomorrow!
Nicole - beautiful picture! I too was guilty of thinking you and your DH were kids! Lucky you!

Been doing the doc dance at our house for a couple days!
Still have NO IDEA what we are wearing for embarkation but we're all set for formal, semi-formal, pirate night...

It's TRUE!! It's really works!!

DH will sure be happy tonight

 

[MaryAz]

Pass me that crown!!
I want to do the Docs dance.
Melissa, I agree the spreadsheet is great. The swanky suite is on my floor, not so far away, OH BOY!!

I am upgrading my stateroom when I sell my crown of youth product. I think that I will start with late night commercials than go to QVC.

Good Morning all!!

Sorry I haven't written....was busy watching QVC while trying to stop blushing at all the kind words!
Sorry to say I will mostly be neglecting you this afternoon as well. My mom is taking DS for the day
Sorry to sound so excited but with DH half a world away the time to myself is extremely scarce. Now I can run errands in half the time - no dawdling to endure woo hoo!! Started writing out to do and to buy lists last night Guess I really better be on the ball today! Only have 2 weeks until DH comes home! Better batten down the hatches A friend/mentor of his told him he has seagull syndrome -he comes in, craps all over/makes a mess and flys away. I'm usually finding his stuff randomly through the house for 2 weeks after
OK! better start being productive (read: need to tear myself away from the boards!)

Has anyone rented a tux from that company that delivers to the ship?

Hi All
Good to hear so many people doing the DOC dance.. As I told Melisa posiedon put us down on deck one this time.. I am going to se up a toll booth so that when you exit the ship you must pay a tribute before you can leave the ship aaaarrrrgggghhh.. picked up a bunch of little giveaways the other day from Garden Ridge,now I hope it doesn't throw the weight of our luggage past 50 pounds.. American Airlines last week implimented a 25 surgage on a second checked in bag..It looks like 3 checkin and 2 carry on..I didn't pack the tux this time and I will just be a parrot head thoughout.. OK swillers looking forward to the possibility to share a glass of vino with you guys.. Of coursee can't wait for the wine tasting event anyway I cancelled our excursions since my foot will just be coming out of the cast a few days prior to going to DLR and don't want to test it in another country Ola,Comasta, and tasty bannana to all-- James

Yay for alone shopping time, I say go to Target, it goes fasterwhen you are by yourself! Is Dh active military?? Will he just be home for the cruise?? Where in Az are you?? Feel free to tell me to stop being nosy or send me a pm.
Hopefully my docs will come today!!
Also I think I have DD-20mo almost "number 2" potty trained. YAY. I think that will help on the cruise!
