May 29, 2004---Who is with us?

[Mickeylover]

You can bring wine in your carry-on--Disney is one of the few cruise lines who let you bring your own wine on. I wouldn't worry about glasses, you can get them from room service without a problem.

I've been slowly taking our clothes to the cleaners, one week at a time, in order to avoid the big fat cleaning bill before the trip. I can't start packing yet, though--my family makes enough fun of me as it is I'm not allowed to start packing until 2 weeks before the cruise.

The 5/29 documents made it all the way to Poughkeepsie today. We had a visit from Brown late this afternoon!

So, I guess that's 2 drinks-of-the-day for DW and I !

Anyone else dancing today?

Another day bites the dust!

That means one more day closer to the cruise. Anyone else think of the days, like I do??????????

Bought DH (XLT800) and DD and myself some "cruise shoes" this weekend.

Starting to assemble the "don't forget" list.
1. stop mail
2. get Bonine
3. start pressing clothes.................


To Be Continued........................

[Mickeyhugger]

No I'm not dancing

I was hoping Brown would be here today. DH is home tomorrow, so the docs are sure to come. (Anytime something 'fun' arrives in the mail, he'll call and say 'guess what I got in the mail, haha haha haha')

Good idea, Fran, starting a 'to do' list.

Does anyone have pets? Have you made arrangements for anyone to feed them? We took our dogs to a kennel two summers ago and they whimpered when they saw us leave (they were still less than six mos.) DD bursted out crying when they did and said she 'didn't want to go.' Needless to say, it started out on a sad note. This summer, our neighbor's son is coming over to take care of them.

Have any of you ever had any last minute 'oh-no, we forgot..'?

We are leaving our two dogs home alone too and having a neighbor feed them. I feel kinda guilty, but's it's cheaper that boarding 2 dogs and them living in a small kennel for 10 days.

 

[XLT800]

Dog gets to stay with a neighbor. She will be fine without us. She will probably enjoy not having the kids around.

Tchrmom......put away the iron......let Disney do all the pressing. I thought they did a good job and we did not have to worry about getting things wrinkled when we packed.

Who is next to get doc's??

Dave

 

[tchrmom]

XLT, you're the best! I vote for doing that again! (tchrmom puts the iron away)

Mickeyhugger..................how much spending money do you have stashed? You MIGHT be "the drink buyer".

But.......that's OK, you'll be everybodies new BEST friend!

I'll have a "Yellowbird".
Fran

 

[Mickeyhugger]

They're here! They're here!

Actually, they DID arrive yesterday. (I'd posted that they hadn't arrived yet.) DH (wouldn't you know!) noticed them on our front porch. (I'd THOUGHT I'd looked!)

I said yesterday he's always the one to receive the 'fun mail' before me. (I end up w/the bills!)

Does this mean we're buying the drinks? Or are there any others out there who haven't received theirs yet?

IT WON'T BE LONG NOW!

 

[zmanmj]

We got our docs today. Is there a way to find out what dinner rotation we have?

 

[tchrmom]

Looks like, so far, it is zmanmj who is buying the drinks!

Mickeyhugger, you OWE Mr. UPS!

Speaking of Mr. UPS, he was kind enough to bring us our new video camera today! It's so cute and little!!!!!!!


zmanmj........you will find out your dinner rotation, once you get your key/card at the port. It will be printed on the card.

[Mickeylover]

I still don't know what we're going to do with our 100lb golden retreiver, Duke. My whole family is on the cruise, so he won't be able to stay with anyone and we'll be gone nearly two weeks.

DH's assistant offered to keep him with her family at her house, but she ways about 10lbs more than the dog and I'm a little worried he'll be a bit much for her on a leash (we live on 2.5 acres and he is rarely on a leash at home--and not at all familiar with cars and traffic, so he wouldn't do well in her neighborhood.)

A kennel is an option, maybe for the first week, and then when my mom and dad get back from the cruise they can go pick him up. I COULD let him stay at home, he has a fenced in yard with a shelter, but I really hate to do that too. I just don't know WHAT to do.

He's the sweetest dog I've ever had--a brain the size of a walnut, but just a big teddy bear.

 

[tchrmom]

I vote for the assistant.

He will adjust very quickly, when not given the option to roam free.

Our dog goes to our neighbors, who speak only spanish at home.....but, somehow, Kassy knows what _"__________" ( enter the spanish words for "Kassy do you need to go outside?") means.

Of course, once we return, she barks in spanish for a while
but we get use to it.

We got even when we kept their dog for 3 weeks when they went to Mexico. We taught it English!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Just kidding!

Good Luck in what ever you choose!
Fran

 

[Mickeyhugger]

If you do leave him at home, do you have neighbors who'd be able to come and feed him and maybe play with him each day for a little while?

If he's in his own environment, it might be less stressful for him and you.

(Too bad you don't live close to us. He could come stay with our two goldens. They LOVE other dogs! And they're big babies too!)

 

[Mickeylover]

Thanks you two! (too funny about the Spanish!)

I do have someone that can come by and see him--but he usually doesn't stay out overnight very often, and definately not for that long. I'll have to kick it around some more and really appreciate your feedback.

 

[SimbaNoodle]

I'm starting to get depressed. No doc's yet.

 

[Mickeyhugger]

SimbaNoodle, I'll bet they'll arrive very soon, as in today or tomorrow.

If not, maybe you could call DCL and ask when they were mailed.

Let us know when you receive them, so you can join in the docs dance!

 

[chairee0]

No doc's for me yet either I called DCL yesterday and they said my Doc's were mailed on 04/15/04 but they were mailed to my TA (expedia) IF time permits I may call Expedia tonight after work.

Cross your fingers for me. Maybe they will be waiting for me when I get home.

NYdiscuisers, I sent you a PM regarding how to link my picture to the spreadsheet.

 

[NYdiscuisers]

Chairee0,
I found your album and linked the pic of you and DH in the spreadsheet and in the html version, the same pic plus DD in the tulips (great shots!).

Hope to hear some more received docs updates soon!

Paul

 

[Mickeyhugger]

NYDisneycruisers, I forgot to mention that our parasailing excursion is also at 10:30. (We're on the spreadsheet list, but I never mentioned the time. Sorry.)
