Hi Everyone. I hope to see you all on sunday at the pool!

My DH received word he got the job he was hoping for so we booked last night with ta rates and will join you all to celebrate!

It will be the two of us and our two dd's ages 9 & 11.

I've been on many cruise ships, but the Wonder's service is my favorite!

Welcome aboard! I've added you to the roll call list.

Oh Thank you! I am planning and packing and trying to clean house for my house sitter (pretty bad when I have to clean for my house sitter) so I am going a little nuts.

We've done last minute cruising before, but 10 days? YIKES.

So these are my problems so far that I am hoping you can help me solve:

1. We have 2nd dining and we need 1st, my dh doesn't like eating so late as he is diabetic. I"ve never tried to change on board. Is it easy? quick?

2. No Palo available!

3. I need some GREAT book suggestions. I will read two, maybe three books while on board, and I don't have time to go book hunting! I like all variety of books except romance.

Also, what do you do with your kids to sneak some time at the adult beach on cc? That's my favorite place on the planet.

That's all for now! Thanks for you help.

Congrats on getting into shape! I have been doing the same - I just hit my goal 2 weeks ago after losing 27 lbs since Feb, and now I'm on maintenance. I had planned on doing this 100 push up challenge thing to get myself toned, but I flaked! However, I got my braces off yesterday, so I feel like a new woman! I had to have a "re-do" on the braces because I didn't wear my retainers after having them as a teen and they all fell back into their old crooked places. So for my 40th birthday last year I got braces

I am hoping we'll do enough walking during the first half of our vacation in the parks so I don't have to worry too much about what I eat (or drink!)!

I found a Navigator from a June cruise which shows the fitness open on the first day from noon - 10pm so I think you are in luck! Here is a link: http://*******.com/54yw8j

Thanks for trying to put a link here, but apparently it is one of those forbidden zones. I will take your word for it and check it out when we get there.

I had braces in high school and couldn't stand the retainer when they came off when I was 21. They shifted a little, but are still better than before. No sense in having them staightened again, since I probably still wouldn't wear the retainer.

Did we confirm that IAfigment is participating in the Fish extender? Trying to get my things all together...thanks!

Had my TA call DCL this morning to confirm their change to dress code again. I've posted the updated version on page 1. This is so frustrating!!!

Cheers,

2. No Palo available! Shellie

They hold back some reservations for people that can't do online reservations. Just make sure to read the material they hand you at check-in--- it will have the location to go to when you first get onboard to make the reservations.

Cheers,

Do we have a total number of people who want a patch? I have to go Tuesday or Wednesday to get them.

DS is 1.

I calculated:
IndyStarGazer: 2
PrincessJasmine: 2
Me: 2
You: 1

I have 7 patches that I'm bringing, so I have a couple extra in case we find another scout or two.

Or reply to this if you want in! Last call for patch exchange! We leave Tuesday morning, so I doubt I'll be able to get more, but some others may be able to. Shall we bring them to the Mic'key Pool on Day 1, or meet up on our day at sea at some point?

Great little rumor if it is true. I was just reading on another post that someone was just getting off the ship. (I don't think they said which one.) But that one of the crew members had told them that they would be testing PhotoPass for this week's cruised.

This makes me because we have pre-purchased a PhotoPass for our land portion of the trip. You save 20% by pre-purchasing for anyone who has a land trip planned.

On a side note 3 days for us and there are still three bags to be packed, last minute things to get done, and lots of planning to do for my sub. at work.

Mickey Pool on Day 1 works for us. May lose DS to a group of people his age by sea day. But that's OK cause this trip is a celebration for him. We may get to see him at dinner, I hope.

Wow - thanks for the tip! I'm looking at the Photopass website and am thinking about signing up for the 20% off. If it's offered on the cruise, too, that would be fabulous! I had a hard time finding the offer, but here is a link (hopefully it works!) http://www.disneyphotopass.com/previsitcdplan.aspx

OMG I would be SO happy...I too prebought the photopass...I wish we were able to find out if this is true!!

Are there any other adults interested in patches? I have a small collection that I started as a Boy Scout (and a blanket that I keep meaning to sew them on!) that I'd love to add to. I wasn't sure, so we got enough for any "big kids" who would like one!

Speaking of scouts, I was slow in responding because I was on a scout campout. Sunday morning was DS Andrew's 12th birthday. Our vacation was supposed to be one big birthday party for both he and Nick, but the school changed our schedule! I was determined that he still have a fun day though, so I was up at midnight decorating:

Sorry for the multiple posts, but I thought I'd post a picture of the family so that maybe we can find each other. It was hard to find one -- we generally are going in four (at least) different directions! This was from DS12's summer camp. You can tell that DW and DS8 had not been out in the woods for several days!
