Hi Y'all....I have been subscribed to this thread for a long time but have not had the time to post much. Just wanted to say to everybody "Be safe on your journey to FL." We are leaving KY on Thursday morning and driving to Savannah. We have taken the girls (12,14) out of school from Wednesday of this week until the Tuesday after we return. We have got all of the school homework together and need to finish some packing. We hope to do this tomorrow after church. The girls and I have already decided what colors we are wearing for our pictures and have those outfits packed. We are participating in the FE and we are ready for those too!!!
This will be our 8th
Disney cruise I think and we are still just as excited this time as we were for the 1st one.
I have learned from our past cruises that it is best to pack light and bring extra money. If you see something that you think ya wanna buy.....buy it then. It is a great possibility that it will not be there when you return. Always, always, always settle up with guest services before the last evening. There is always a big line on the last night and the following morning. We have found that the shoe organizer is a great item to have. With there bing 4 of us in an inside statesroom it clears alot of space for us. Bring the Downey wrinkle releaser...it works great. Don't forget the $1 bills for room service and your tip money. I have found that it is easier for us to pay our tips at guest services and get a voucher from them to put in our envelopes. You can do that anytime and hold on to them and have them ready for the last evening. Just to be honest....we pay our tips up front with the cruise and the vouchers are waiting for us in our room when we embark.
If this is your first cruise please remember this.....there is NO WAY you will be be to do everthing you want. DO NOT wear yourself out trying to do so. Everyone ends up tired, grouchy and aggravated. Remember this is a vacation so you need to relax and enjoy what you do and not be concerned with what you are not gonna be able to. All the more reason to book another one while you are on board. That line gets long and busy too if you wait until the last day.
I hope I have shared a few helpful hints and ideas with you, my fellow cruisers. My family and I are looking forward to meeting each and every one of you. Until then.....God Bless You.
) I've been saving my pocket change since we booked the cruise and I have a pretty good chunk in there now.
