Hi everyone! We are getting closer! Today is my last day of after care.....last full day of school for the kids. DD goes for a 1/2 day Monday & Tuesday and then has graduation from K5 Tuesday evening. DS will have to go a 1/2 day Mon, Tues, & Wed. Then he has class day on Thursday morning, should be done by 10:30.

Thanks to those of you who had your kids post on DS's thread. He's at school now, it looks like we are in for thunderstorms this afternoon which means aftercare will be inside so I'll let him go online and check his thread. I'm sure he will post back so keep a look out.

He cracks me up with all the smilies. I asked him why he used the angry smiley (he was trying to use them all). So then I look back and see he posted "I do not have anger issues". Yesterday I asked him why he posted that and he said "because I used the angry smiley". Kids, gotta love 'em.

I am so excited, but I feel like I have a million things to do before we are ready to go. It doesn't help that I am going out of town for Memorial Day, which presses my time. My kids and I are flying out Wedensday night before the cruise, so I took that day off (thank goodness!) and my to-do list for that day is getting longer, and longer, and longer. LOL

I am having a hard time packing. For those of you going to the parks before or after..........How are you packing your stuff?

Since we are only spending 2 days before the cruise at WDW, I'm packing one suitcase for Brenna and one suitcase for DH and I. I have one suitcase (or rolling duffle bag, can't decide) with all the misc stuff that I am taking. I am taking my DD's Vera Bradley large tote as my carry on with our swimsuits and stuff we'll need once we get to the resort. I will use that as my carry on for the cruise as well.

I finally bought the last things for our trip: flip flops!! Everyone needed new ones (in addition to shorts, shirts, bathing suits!) Darn kids, growing every year! LOL! Plus my weight loss... Anyway... I can officially say I am done shopping (minus some odds and ends).

Packing?? What's that?? LOL!! Haven't even started!! Luckily, most of it will go from shopping bag to suitcase.

We're leaving this Friday (my 41st birthday) for Pop Century. But I am so stressed because we have a ton of things going on this week I have to get through. My DS's science project that's due June 1 , FALL cheerleading registration for my DD (why do we have to do this NOW???), haircuts, a school Art Fair....

Just arranged for neighbors to feed the cat. Dogs will go to dog sitter. So much to think about.


Guess we'll see you all very soon! Hope everyone has safe and hassle-free journeys!

I am having a hard time with this one too. It is overwhelming to think of packing for 5 for a three day cruise and then 3 days at Disney after. I am thinking of doing some laundry when we get to our resort.

We are going to the parks for 3 days beforehand -- I am packing a WDW only suitcase, a cruise only suitcase plus one more (small) that has all of the FE gifts, plus 2 suitcases for our week in Florida post-cruise (and there will be a few backpacks as well). I agree that it is a pain to pack for the different parts of the vacation but I think that it will be easier than packing one suitcase per person like I usually do.

 

[goofydad99]

Well, that is what I started doing last night. I have started a cruise suitcase and then I will do a parks luggage. We will have access to a washer and dryer in our villa but it still makes me crazy just trying to keep it small.

My trip is the Wonder (flying in the night before) plus 6 nights in Orlando with my parents at their timeshare. We have a (free!) washer/dryer in the timeshare, so laundry will be easy.

What I am doing is packing 3 check-in bags (might as well take 3 since I don't have to pay for the 1st bag for each person). One large one will hold all the WDW stuff, and the two smaller ones will have the cruise items. We are driving to port, so I will leave the large one in the car and just take the two smaller ones on board.

I learned from the last cruise that I packed way two much stuff. We spent most of our days in swimsuits, with shorts thrown over, and then we changed for dinner. So, not much to pack there. In fact, one suitcase will be filled with the photo mat for signatures, costumes (pirate and princess!), swimsuits, and sunscreen.

 

[goofydad99]

I must be really into this! The stuff for the children is all packed. They are only lacking undergarments.

I don't have any idea what we are going to wear because........my clothes don't fit!

So basically..............

If you want to know who I am look for the lady with the baggy ill fitting clothes!!

 

[dthogue]

I'm going crazy waiting for the time to pass. We don't leave until Tuesday morning and I can't pack clothing until Monday while my DD is out of the house. I'm making lists becasue I can't stand waiting til the last minute to pack. I'm so afraid that I will forget something - I wish we were leaving earlier. Heaven help me get through the next few days.

We watched the Wonder sail yesterday on the Radisson web cam then pass the Two Plams cam - I had tears in my eyes - kept thinking its leaving and will come back, then leave again and come back, leave again, then come back and then it will be our turn to get on - how pathetic am I?

I'm planning to pack on Friday and finishing up on Monday. I'm flying in a day early and staying at Pop Century on Wednesday night. I'm so excited about cruising DCL. I've only cruised on RCCL.

So, are we having an informal meeting on Thursday near the Mickey or Goofy pool? What time are we meeting? Can't wait to meet you all. Not long now.

Can't wait to see everyone!!!!!
