I know some of you are leaving during the week....have a safe trip. We are leaving on Saturday. I still have to get our stuff together. I haven't even begun to think about packing. With the change in dining schedule I am thinking about bringing something for the dress up night. We weren't going to do it when it was on the last day, but now we might. That is if I can get DH to want to wear a tie And it all depends on how DS does at dinner the other days. Now that he is walking alot more he doesn't like to sit still for too long.
I can't believe how fast the last few weeks have gone!!!!

[JustinsMommy07]

Well it took me forever to try to figure this out....I hope it works. This is us.

 

[Dyerneeds]

great pic.
love the shirts.

 

[Elasta-Girl]

First names? If I see any of you at WDW or at the port, should I just call you by your screen names? "Hey look, that's Mr. and Mrs. IndyStarGazer in line for Buzz Lightyear!"

I'm Beth and I'll be wearing an Elastagirl t-shirt at the port, and if I can talk my DH into it, he'll be in the matching Mr. Incredible t-shirt I packed for him (he prefers if you call him Pete, LOL).

Leaving now to take the puppy to her swanky dog bed & breakfast...then it's back to do all the last minute packing and try to get some sleep tonight - ha! So if I don't run into any of you in the parks, see you on board!!!

Beth: Have a safe trip!

I'd probably answer to it. I'm Doug, DW is Kim.

You're not really Elastagirl? My kids will be so disappointed!

I'll probably wear a blue Order of the Arrow t-shirt to port, to go with the scouting theme.

We should get nametags or something...

Thanks guys! I actually saw after my post that there are some first names included in the roll call list - duh! I have far too much on my mind lately. I'm the planner, packer & person to blame if something is forgotton! So I just opened a beer...I'm on vacation now. Email auto-responder is set for work and my voice mail says I'm OUT OF THE &^%$ING OFFICE (haha, not really, it's very professional, but inside that is what I was thinking).

I actually have name tags here in my home office...maybe they'll find their way in a bag! And I could try to be elastagirl, but I'm afraid I'd scare your kids, LOL!

Our itinerary as of now:
Tuesday - fly all day and arrive at 8:00. Check in to All Star Movies, Herbie!
Wednesday - Hollywood Studios until late so we can see Fantasmic. We'll probably sleep in a bit due to time change and miss fast passes for Toy Story Mania - ack!
Thursday - Move to Port Orleans French Quarter (the official land n sea package hotel we have) Magic Kingdom all day
Friday - Magic Kingdom morning, Epcot afternoon & evening. Reservations at Coral Reef for 5:30. I'll definitely check out the wine booths too!
Saturday - Animal Kingdom
Sunday - CRUISE!!!
Monday - Play & put on a fancy dress with heels for dinner
Tuesday - Caribbean Queen Snorkeling
Wednesday - Play
Thursday - don't want to think about this yet!

Back to last minute packing...and will somebody tell my boys to stop bouncing off the walls? The house is shaking.

Oh, and I'm looking forward to seeing my secret porthole room (5520) after reading about them online for years. If anybody wants to see one in person, feel free to ask!

I can't wait to see everybody! This board has been a big part of my vacation planning and now I am looking forward to the actual thing and meeting all of you in person.

You will have to tell me how Room 5520 is. That is our room for the BOBers Cruise in Oct/2009. We are going with Mike and Robin and a bunch of great people we have cruised with before and some people we have not met yet only talked to them on the dis. Mike and Robin are going on your cruise this week. Get to know them they are really great people. I just wish we were going on this cruise with them. Look for them at the Rockin Bar D. Hope you all have a great time. Di

Hi all!!! Is everyone ready we are way jazzed. We fly out early Sat - like 12:55 am early. What was I thinking. However it was either that or getting in at midnight Sat night? Anyhow, not to put a damper on the trip, but I am looking for some reassurance from you all who have done this before. Weather is not looking so great? Nassau is expected to have thundershowers. I only looked because it has been fairly cool here in Colorado and I had this awful dream that it would be 25 degrees on our cruise. That’s alright, right?

Hope to meet you all soon. Those who are on their way, I wish you a safe trip.

I cannot post a picture but, I have blond hair and my name is Joleen, DH is Gary and he is well… bald (but boy do I think he is cute) then we have the four month old, Jackson also bald like his dad (also way cute) then we have Seth, DS who is 10, also has his head shaved (following a stunt at crazy hair day for school a couple of weeks ago)

Hello Everyone!

We are Valerie and Trent from Bloomington Indiana!

I have been going crazy here at work trying to get all my stuff done before we take off on Saturday morning. It's very hard to concentrate on work right now when there is vacation stuff to be doing!

I hate to hear the weather looks bad for Nassau..how about Castaway Cay Day?

I did go out and get some stuff for our fish extender gifts!! They are so cool!!

But yet have not made our fish extender thing to hang. It might end up being a paper bag iwith duct tape and a Mickey Sticker if I cant' get things together in time!

Indy Gazer--just got back home from Plainfield and Avon today!

We are still meeting at the Mickey Pool at 3:00 on the first day right?

Must go home and do some laundry for the trip

Seriously, nervous about sailing. It will be all right, Right? A cruise ship hasn't sunk since the Titantic, right?

 

[IndyStarGazer]

I've seen the weather reports too but I refuse to worry. Besides, yesterday they said 60% cance of storms and now it's 30%.

Oh, and while writing this my computer calendar popped up a message -- 24 hours until my plane takes off!!!

Ah yes, the final day before a big trip. My clients are acting surprised despite months of warnings that this was coming. "What? You're going on a trip!?!" The kids are bouncing off the walls. DW is spazzing out in the traditional mad packing scramble.

Time to find a good place to hide until it's time to take off...

 

[JustinsMommy07]

Just thought I'd let everyone know.....we are still not close to packing
