I think it sounds like a lot of us are going to do the party the day we get back, who's all dressing up?

We are going to the party the Thursday before the cruise. My hubby will be wearing his pirate costume. I think I am going to be a witch. My oldest wants to be something goth, and my youngest will be a princess.

Happy Monday morning! It's raining here but that at least keeps the pollen away.

We're planning on going to the MNSSHP the Sunday after our cruise. Anyone else planning on that one? We're going to skip dressing up since it's a surprise for the kids. We'll probably stick to matching orange shirts or something equally creative.

I want to go as a family theme but the family is saying no way to that. Everyone thinks I am crazy for planning our costumes already.

 

[davids68girl]

I can't get my guys to dress up so I think we are going to do t-shirts.

I'll be taking my mom and daughter on this cruise... it'll be my mom's first cruise, she's very excited.

Ugh I am crazy stressing out about airfare. It used to cost us around $700 to fly round trip it is now double that. I worry if I wait longer the price will increase. I think we are going to fly Southwest down on the 14th and Airtran back on the 23rd.

 

[davids68girl]

I hear you on airfare! I was sure I could get airfare for the four of us for under $1,000 but I keep checking and right now $1500 is the lowest I can find. American is running a spring sale (Fly before June 7th) so I checked to see what the fare was on sale and it was $1300.

We have offically given up on flying and have added another day to our trip to drive.

Add me to the club. I actually just talked to my DH and we've decided to drive. We were going to fly to save some time but that issue isn't an issue anymore and the $1000 (plus rental car) it would cost us to do so could definitely be used elsewhere.

So, it looks like we'll be doing the MNSSHP on that Thursday (if there is one) after all. The plans just keep changing!!!

I love your plans! Looks like a load of fun-Universal, MNSSHP, and Food & Wine @ Epcot. Sounds just great.

Hi Everyone,

We have been on several cruises now and love to participate in fish extenders. Have found links for our other upcoming cruises, but have seen anything on here for this one. Can anyone keep me in the loop?

You can always email me directly at:

Jamiecrandell@comcast.net

thanks so much!!!

 

[Twinprincesses]

Oh wait might have to rethink EPCOT. Last time we did Food N Wine it was not family friendly at all and we actually ended up leaving because the girls were very uncomfortable. (and we are drinkers)

Yep we have a FE list going. Just leave us who is going, ages, any food allergies, or special occassions. Loveysbydesign is keeping the main list and I am keeping the back up. So one of us will add you if not both

In my fit of obsession I went ahead and booked my flight there (ugh why do I do this to myself) I figure I would rather be stuck in Florida than Indiana SO at least you know I will be on the ship.

LOL I agree. If I'm going to be stuck someplace I'd rather be at Disney than at home.

Has anyone ever done the Stingray Adventure at Castaway Cay or are you thinking of doing it? It looks neat to me.

 

[Twinprincesses]

We did the Stingrays at Castaway on our first cruise. It is neat. I heard you want the first one though because the water gets stired up and you cannot see them as well in the afternoon.

It's that time again. I hope all is well with everybody.

We have only

More FRIDAY'S left before we cruise.

We are not doing MNSSHP. We are driving down on Friday, getting married on Saturday. After the Cruise we are doing two days at Kennedy Space Center. Still undecided if we are driving home Sat or Sun. Kids return to school from fall break Mon.

We are also still paying off the cruise! Gotta get that done! But before that we have the National Archery in the Schools NATIONAL FINALS! DS14's school team made the finals and we are going to Kentucky next month!

We are jam packed with kid activities from here until the end of June, plus, DS14 and I are going on a Mission Trip in July so other two kids have to have arrangements made while DF works, and I have to plan a wedding!
