at airport waiting for plane to get here. As for cruise photo pkgs. I don't think they are cheaper precruise just diff amounts of credits. From what I've read they don't offer the smaller pkgs onboard just larger ones. but I know I'm buying mine onboard.

Thanks Fire. Do you get more credits on board?

If DD gets off schedule and isn't napping, we'd love to meet you and her! My grandkids were off schedule on each cruise!

Thanks! I think DH will make it down, so at least he'll know what everyone looks like and can introduce me if we run into any DISers on the ship!!

We are creatures of a routine and usually she sticks to her schedule just fine, as we just cruised last Aug and this January& got her nap everyday. On the day we arrive, we put her down as soon as we can get into rooms, and then she doesn't fall asleep right away, but eventually does. She doesn't get a long nap because has to be up for the muster drill, but even a short snooze is better than none at all. We almost always keep to a nap schedule when we can because she ends up going to bed later on vacation & a well-rested child is a happy one Then, happy child = happy parents I am not sure how we are going to work it on Key West, Grand Cayman, or Cozumel yet, but I am sure we'll figure it out!!

Actually, we couldn't believe that she was still napping, as she's 4 1/2, but she does..........

Two of my granddaughters took naps until they were 5 or 6!

48 hours from now, we will be in Melbourne!!!

12 hours from now I should be boarding a plane to whisk me away from cool, rainy Michigan to sunny, warm Florida.

Safe travels to all who are about to head to Florida.

The lows this weekend in Tampa are in the 60s at night with a high of only 83 DH & I joked about having to go south to Key West & the Caribbean where it's warm!!!!!

Just finished packing, and I got almost everything into one suitcase, just under 50 lbs! Phew! I just hope the FE gifts don't squished on my subway trip to work.

We leave in about 18 hours... just 6 more hours of work then I'm off on a plane back home! I have a feeling it's going to be the longest day ever.

Safe travels to all. I hope to meet everyone on the ship!

I am way excited people ! I've been in Florida since Wed....at Bay Lake Tower. Can't wait to set sail for the open seas with Mickey and you all !

 

[Silverfox97]

Today is our packing day.......12 hrs from now I'll be in the shower and ready to make the 2 hr trip to the port!!!

Hope everyone at WDW is having fun - enjoy MNNSHP if you are going!!

We'll be waiting for the port to open at 11am sharp tomorrow (going to be weird not being there at 10am....).

Safe travels to all~

 

[dsnydaddy]

Have a great time everyone. It's now that I'm sad that I had to change our plans to a later sailing otherwise, we'd be going now too!

Goodbye Ohio we are on our way!!
