allen - have you sent out the last cruise list yet?

 

[lbrening]

tross,
Congratulations! That is great news!

Allen, I want to send you a big THANKS for organizing all of this. I know the list and bracelets were a lot of work. Not to mention helping track down some stranded cruisers..... You truly are the Julie McCoy (new and improved of course) of our cruise. I propose that everyone purchases BigRed one adult beverage (at least) for his efforts! That should keep him taken care of for at least a day or two.

Still on pins and needles here as to whether DH will make it back in time. Sure hope we can make it. I've started packing just in case...

Tora

I agree, a BIG thanks for being so prompt in your responses and doing the list over and over and over......... As far as work, what is that this week, who can concentrate on that! Partly packed and ready to go See you at Goofy's Gallery at 3:00

Tross- that is so wonderful about your mom!!

I can't believe it's really here! Anyone else going to MNSSHP Friday night?

Hi Everyone!

I finally got caught up on posts. Good thing I did otherwise we'd miss the meet and greet. I can't wait!

We kind of started packing. We have all of our suitcases in the living room with a few piles of clothes. We're also packing a box that will have diapers, wipes, disposable tableware, baby food and other stuff that will be used up or dumped at the end of our cruise. That way we have room in our luggage for clothes. Need to start cutting back, though. It's looking scary!

So much stuff to do still. Thank goodness today is my last day of work! Need to run to Target for some things. Also need to make our door signs. I think we have all of our pirate costumes ready. Need to print the latest list. DH needs to make our pirate t-shirts. Hmmmm.....am I forgetting something?

ALLEN: Thanks for organizing all of this! I emailed you our pirate names.

TROSS: Yay! Glad to hear the good news!

We leave for L.A. on Thursday to spend the night at my ILs. We fly out on Friday.

Happy travels to all! See you Saturday.

Tora,

Thanks for the unauthorized guidance from the 'other' site.

This will be our 3rd Disney cruise, but first on the Magic. The kids, 17 and 12 are excited beyond belief (truth be known, the adults are too).

Allen,
Thanks for the VERY quick response to my late sign up for the Saturday meet. We are all looking forward to it.

We haven't started packing yet, but we have begun the process of laying out the clothes we will be bringing.

See you in a few days.

allen - have you sent out the last cruise list yet?

Not yet. I have had a couple of updates come in this morning in addition to yours, so I will give it a little more time. I plan to send it out sometime this evening. Out of work, time for play!!

OH DEAR... Praying for safe and quick arrival!

Like sand throught the , so are....sorry, old soap I was hooked on once. The clock is ticking!! Just about finished packing, and off to Grandmothers for dinner. Upon our return from dinner, I will update the list one last time, and mail it out. After that, the list is complete!!
For all the thank you's, you are welcome!! I have had fun keeping the list up. I must say though, that you guys did all the work, I just filled in the form! We went on a cruise last year where we had a thread, but it was so late when it got hopping, that we didn't have time to do a list. We didn't have a meet, so not many of the bunch actually met each other. So my goal this trip was to make a common ground for everyone to meet early, and hopefully, the rest would happen. It happened, ya'll did it, and I just passed it on to everyone. So, all, for making it easy. See you at Goofy's Galley, if not before!
It's Party Time!!! Disney Style!!

We're 97% packed and ready to fly out tomorrow afternoon! I just hope we can get 6 people and all of our luggage in my van!

tross, I'm so glad things have worked out!

In the morning, we'll be twiddling our thumbs waiting to go to the airport. I'll be checking the DIS

Allen, thank you for keeping this thread going and for managing the list! We love ya'!

How will I ever sleep?

We're going to MNSSHP on Friday! Can't wait. The UPS man dropped off the kids costumes earlier today. What a great prelude to the cruise it will be!

 

[dolphf16]

Delta,
Don't worry about getting me in hot water...I can handle it, plus I know it will all be worth it. This seems like a great group and the more the better!

Danzer,
You did great raising that one. You should definitely be proud! Hopefully I can do as good of a job with my little guy. May need soem pointers cuz he is giving me a run for my money! He has his father's high energy level and short attention span and my propensity for testing limits (imagine that Delta).


Finally heard from DH, they are en route. They've stopped for crew rest and should be home in the next day or two assuming no mechanical issues with the aircraft. Hopefully we should be on our flight crack of dawn Saturday to MCO and see you all at Goofy's. For those leaving already have a safe trip.

The 19th & Final Edition is on the way, both versions. Print yours today! I have 4 wristbands left. First one to find me and ask for them, get them! One more time, here are the scheduled events. Mini meet, Friday night around 8 pm near the pool bar at the Radisson. Look for the green bracelets. If you are not staying at the Radisson, park out front if there is room, and walk straight through the lobby like you own the place, to the pool. We should be there till 10 or so. Dis Meet at Goofy’s Galley, formerly Scoops, Deck 9, at 3:00 pm. If it is too crowded, we will adjourn to Deck 10 just above Goofy’s Galley. This is not a scheduled event, but we will likely go to Grills Friday evening to eat.(I have lots of coupons) We will try to be there before the ships leave.(5pm) If you are at the Radisson without transportation and would like to go to Grills, Look me up. We will get you there, if we have to make 2 or 3 trips. My cell phone is listed in the email and we will be back to my email by Thursday night. Travel safe, and see you at Goofy’s Galley, if not sooner!!!

Tora,

We are sooo happy that DH is on his way home in time for you to join us. Please know that there are many of us who pray daily for his and all other service people's safe return home.

Now it's time to celebrate... and how better than with a Disney cruise!!! Have a safe journey to Orlando. We'll see you in a few days.

 

[daisy112878]

Tora - that's awesome!!!! I know you have to be so excited!

I hope everyone leaving today has a safe trip down there. I'm super jealous. I so want to leave now!!! I've had a enough of work.

We are going on the Friday also. Only costumes we have are our pirate ones so look out for us!

Does anyone have a copy of THE LIST they could pm me? I would love to know if there is a buddy for my 9 year old DD.

Safe travels for all
