October 18, 2008- Living Large on the Western!

[Twinprincesses]

Almost packed!!!! I just have to pack our bag for friday night and our daybag. WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO. Tomorrow is my last day at work (I am sure I will not be productive at all!!!) Take the dogs first thing friday and we will be at the airport at noon.

 

[thecooley]

Then the car gets packed...and as Orlandothebeagle would say we have our last sleep!!!!

I said "one more sleep" to Arthur this morning, and he gave me a WTH look. It was early though.

I never let Disney do transfers. Plainly put, Mears sucks. I always go Tiffany Towncar. We've had the same driver for the past 5 years. I think the extra money is worth it. Plus they stop at a Wal-Mart where I can get some cases of water.

Hard to believe it is only 65 hours until we board.

We will seriously consider private transportation next time. We thought it would be cheaper, but in the long run, it's been too much trouble.

Now it's only 49 hours, and 16 of that will be sleeping! Well, if we're not too excited to sleep.

Having a great time in Orlando - cant wait to see you all on Sat!

Glad your vacation is already off to a great start!

Tomorrow is my last day at work (I am sure I will not be productive at all!!!)

Sigh, I think jbwork and I are the only ones working on Friday. I do not plan to be productive at all though.

Safe travels to everyone leaving today/tonight!!!

lol, actually I moved our flights to Friday, so we will be leaving tomorrow morning and have a rental car to drive to the port, I haven't been too productive this week anyways, so I might as well leave Friday. And since world of warcraft is all messed up I want to leave work today too, cause I have nothing to do now,

 

[DiMitch]

Yep...we leave tomorrow as well. Only 8 more hours of Work and then WE"RE ON VACATION! Our flight leaves Denver at 10:00 tomorrow morning! Whoo Hoo! Cyndid I'll look for you by the pool of the Radisson around 7:30-8:00 tomorrow night!

 

[DiMitch]

If you don't know how to recognise me....I'll be the one with the Margarita in hand!

 

[mommato6]

ya'lls enthusiasm is contagious! I have to work 7p-7a tonight and intend to spend all day tomorrow getting the 6 of us ready. Atleast my tag gifts are done and I'm pretty sure I've done most of my shopping...but I'll probably need to run to Target to get somebody somthing!

 

[Tigger1221]

Ok so we had a huge change in plans. We are leaving tonight and driving down! So I will see you there. Bye and safe travels.

 

[cyndid]

If you don't know how to recognise me....I'll be the one with the Margarita in hand!

You and me both.

It was a VERY rough day today! I lied...wound up having to tie up more loose ends and those loose ends were VERY frayed! Looking forward to a drink in hand!

See ya by the pool.

O.K. guys...I'm officially closing up shop now. The car is packed except for the carry-ons and the computer is getting put in one...so I will see you all on Saturday...some of you before then with any luck at all! Good Night Guys!

 

[Twinprincesses]

I think I am going to be too excited to sleep!!! OK I think I am all packed up, ready to go and all excited!!!! See you all Saturday!!!

 

[nokidz]

Hey guys, after leaving Wed at noon, and driving straight through, we made it to St Augustine in 22 hours. We are now at our hotel in Orlando, a stones throw from the park. But we are not going there. Nope, my wife is spending too much money in the Coach Outlet Stores!1 LOL. Going to explore Orlando then head to the Port Sat morning......

I'll be the fluffy 12 year old with margarita in hand!! Do you think they'll let me take it on the water slide?

Cool! Have fun, and be safe!

I hear you on that one. Everyone at work found out that I was going on vacation for a week, so they all decided to try and get their requests in under the wire. Now I have to be productive. I'm still leaving early today though, goshdarnit!!

Woohoo! Have a safe trip down!

Straight through?!?
Tell your wife to save some of that money for the ship! At least it sounds like she is feeling better.

 

[thecooley]

Well, I'm about to leave work so I can go home and finish packing!

Our flight doesn't leave until around 7 tonight, so we will be late getting into MCO. At least we're staying at the airport!

I feel like there's an echo in here. I think I'm the only one around. Which would technically mean I'm sitting here, typing to myself, knowing that no one will see this until we get back.

 

[nokidz]

I realize everyone is out of this chat thread as they are getting ready to board the ship in the morning, but our TA called today....DCL upgraded us from a cat 7 to a cat 4!! We are now in room 8598!!!

 

[mommato6]

hey congrats on the upgrade! we will be leaving st augustine in about 30 minutes! 22 hours is a long time to drive! can't wait to meet everybody this afternoon! the weiss family is off... To The Magic!!!

 

[nokidz]

THANK YOU ORLANDOTHEBEAGLE for the treat bag! That was very nice and un-expected......
Hope everyone is having a great time. It is Monday night and it is quite windy on deck and the ship is rocking pretty good.
My wife and I have been roaming the decks and looking at your door magnets. Awsome!

 

[BeachPartyof3]

Wow ... what an exciting week. It was great meeting everyone and bumping into people I knew throughout the cruise. We had alot of fun playing Dis Tag and came back with some great stuff..and more candy than we usually get at Halloween

We are staying here in Orlando for another 5 days, just relaxing. We were all exhausted and basically slept all afternoon and evening. Anyone else having a problem with seasickness on land. I had slight sea sickness on the boat, but nothing compared to feeling the condo moving this afternoon. DH is also miserable. I had heard rumor this might happen, but didn't believe it until experienced!

Anyway, we rebooked for 12/4/2010 Eastern trip. It really is amazing how 'lost' you can become on a vacation like that!

I hope everyone gets home safe!

 

[Twinprincesses]

We are home and we have lost our memory card for our camera. I am devastated!!!!!! I have searched everywhere and think I left it in the stateroom.

Ugh anyway... we booked a 4 night for Oct 18th 2009 then we are doing WDW for 3 days.

And yes I think I feel like I am on the boat more onshore than when I was on it.

 

[Colmenares3]

Oh no!! I hope that you're able to get it back. We'll share what we have here, but of course there are so many personal memories that you just need to get back!! Let us know.

It's good to be home -- my desk is rolling and rocking as well. Such a funny thing! It doesn't make me feel sick or anything; just a little disoriented.

Meeting all of you from this thread made our cruise so much more special. Thanks so much to everyone for your kindness and friendliness. I'll post what photos I have once I get through the piles of laundry . . .
