"Once Upon a Dream" 4 Night Dream Cruise 10/16/2011

[Karen Mouse]

Here's our plans for next week:
I ordered Garden Grocer for soda, water, snacks, and some breakfast items. The resort mugs would have cost us $15 x 4. I am more of a water drinker and it would have been a waste for me. My hubby's a diabetic and I need to keep him fed

These our our plans for our trip next week:

Oct 12th arrive at CBR, pick up our groceries, go to our room, rip off our clothes(put on some suits) and swim. Dinner DTD at WPE, movie at CBR?

Oct 13th room breakfast, BBB at noon at DTD, QS lunch (maybe Earl of Sandwich)back to the resort for some naps, swimming? MNSSHP at 4 CRT 5:50PM

Oct 14th room breakfast, off to HS, lunch 12 at Sci Fy, Dinner 5:50 at Cape May

October 15th resort day

October 16th off to the Dream for 4 days
October 19th Claire's bday and Palo at 6
October 20th back from the Dream and off to the MCO Hyatt

14th- Arrive All Star Sports. Narcoossee's for dinner & hopefully see Wishes & electrical water pageant.
15th- Hang out at resort-no parks-parents are coming to spend the day with us and our travel mates are arriving this day. We have breakfast @ WCC and dinner @ Raglan Road. Might go play some mini golf @ Winter Summerland.

20th- Head to Pop. Hang out for the day and relax. MNSSHP this evening.
21st- Ohana breakfast then heading to Sea World for the day.

We are headed to the Atlantis tour on Nassau. We're first timers so we wanted to see Atlantis but didn't want to shell out for the water park.

So for anyone looking for us at the parks we look like this:

My kids are all blond and so am I, my poor dh is the only one with brown hair. He always get teased that the kids look nothing like him-lol. And my 4y.o. ds has long curly blond hair so everyone always thinks he's a girl!
My 3 kids will have tshirts the same color...easier to find them in a crowd!
Turquoise in MK
Green in Epcot
Orange in Ak
and Red in HS!
The kids are reus-ing tshirts from last trip!

Plus we'll all have lime green tshirts on for the cruise!

This time next week we'll be onboard our Virgin flight... its nine hours... we'll only be half way there so somewhere over the blue ocean that separates us.... we'll be bored by now... we'll have watched two movies... eaten two bad meals... (drank two glasses of wine...just to pass the time you understand) and done a few crosswords and wordsearches... and Ellis will have asked for the thousandth time ..."are we nearly there yet?"

We have a hopper pass, we are not huge thrill riders so we can probably do both parks in 1 day.

You look like a kid yourself! What's your secret?

Cool! My hubby has facial amnesia so even though I will show him your pictures, he won't know you when he sees you

Your husband has facial amnesia and mine is hard of hearing. Oy! To top it off, he left his hearing aids in his rental car in DC this week. They haven't found them either. So if you talk to him and he ignores you he's not being rude!

Here's our plans:

11th - MNSSHP
12th - Epcot
13th - 16th - US/IOA/Harry Potter!

Getting VERY excited! We hop on the plane in about 36 hours. Of course, everyone's ready except me. May have overscheduled ourselves the day before leaving. Family church pictures, playdate for DD2, church youth group retreat for DD1, 2 birthday parties for DD2. At least I'll have the house to myself to pack for ME!

Not too excited about the weather forecasts for the week before the cruise, but a wet week in Florida is still better than being home! Praying the weather clears for the cruise, though. We have friends sailing with us and they've never been on a cruise. I really want them to have fun and REALLY want to see CC again! Here's to smooth sailing

 

[Kewz1]

Do we need name tags for the Dis meet?

I have a bunch of labels I can bring along. What does everyone think??
