November 10, 2007 - MAGIC - Eastern

[Lauri]

Well said! My DH and our friends think i'm NUTS too!!

It will be fun to have a little extra magic on board!!

I keep telling them that I have LIME GREEN matching t-shirts that they have to wear to board the ship. My friend's DH is getting really worried that i'm serious!!!

I ordered matching shirts for boarding from the Disney store months ago. DH is so not into that, but when they came, he liked them. Our family will be wearing the grey Mickey head flag shirts for boarding. What's even worse i that boarding day is DH's birthday. The things I make him do .

Glad to hear that you're OK. the timing of the cruise will be just perfect for you.

Two weeks from now, and we'll be sleeping in Cocoa Beach!

My DH is also VERY relieved that the big Patriots/Colts game is the week before the cruise and no game to miss on the cruise. Although I suspect that Diversions will play football...

!

Too bad the game ISN'T during the cruise -- we could've had quite the friendly rivalry going in Diversions. (Yup, we're from Indy!)

Bwah.......I was just getting ready to ask if anyone was wearing matching shirts on boarding. I ordered the personalized Polos from the Disney. I just gave my MIL her purple Polo with Tinkerbell. You should have seen her face. I can tell she hated it! Oh well! Just humor me! Anyhow my husband has a olive green with Mickey and a Navy with Tigger. He can wear either. Grandma and I have lavender with Tinkerbell. Susan and Amanda have pink with Tink. Eric and Adam have red with Pirates of Carribean Skull. Grandma also brought over Marks Pirate costume. Oh man.....this getup is really good! I told him he has to wear it with the rest of my pirates on Halloween! I especially like the way my bald guy looks with a HUGE earring. I really hope he wears it cause I will be dressed to the nine too.

I am glad to hear that you are all safe and sound. Has it quieted down or does the threat still exist? I can't imagine what it must be like. Must look like a war zone in places.

Its definitely quieted down a bit. You are right it totally looks like a war zone in some places. But today I saw blue sky for the first time in 5 days!!

I'm trying to do some packing this weekend. At least trying to figure out what I still need.

AnnD - Welcome! I think you will be MY hero! I may have triplets, but they are all out of diapers, bottles, etc!!! I'm so impressed! I'm sure they ALL will have tons of FUN! And you and your DH too!!


Happy weekend everyone!

I know, 2 more weeks, it's so exciting!!!!! I really need to get in gear and start packing. Yesterday was my birthday, and I got a new set of luggage for the trip. I'm sure I'll use it all just for the kids stuff!!!

As, for shoes, I'm planning to bring about 5 or 6 pairs, I hope that will be enough. I'm trying not to want to overpack, but it's hard. I need so much just for the baby, not to mention the other 2, plus my DH is the worst. He always wants to bring double what he needs.

I'm off to Target to purchase all those "must haves" from the great packing list I downloaded from DisBoards. Anyone else using that packnig list??? That list is WONDERFUL and such a huge help to me!

What do you all suggest for hanging wet bathing suits? With 6 of us (times two suits), our rooms could be overcome by bathing suits!! Any suggestions?!

My dining room table is now COVERED in packing stuff!! It's impossible to pack when I've got these little fingers that keep "finding things" and then walking all over the house with the item that was supposed to be "packed!".


YBELLS!!!! Happy BIRTHDAY!!!!

Got our documents yesteday. So exciting. Now I have to go from room to room to find everything I've prepared and purchased. I hope I remember where everything is.

My neighbor stopped by this morning. She is working on my fish extender this weekend.

Between school, dance, soccer, sunday school, playgroup and everything else I do, I may get a slight chance to pack this week. Argh! Too much going on.

 

[PurplePrincess4]

How much actual cash in small bills and quarters should I bring along for room service tips and laundry? I probably will have to do 2 loads.

There are retractable clotheslines over the bathtubs. Bring some plastic clothespins. We got them at the dollar store.
