Thank you.

I gave in and added a couples Cabana massage on our first stop at Castaway Cay . I had originally just booked myself an on board massage, but my DH just mentioned that he would love to get a massage too. So, now my bill is already really high and we haven't even come close to starting our vacation

I may end up cancelling our excursion to Boatswain's Marine Park with Disney and just do this excursion on our own to save quite a bit of $$.
I am just not sure how much it will cost for a taxi to get to and from the park?

Arin....

Very nice! Are those glittery sequins up top?? Neat!
Have you thought about if/how you will personalize it? We are stuck on that one. Maybe sew-on patches...if we can find 'em, lol.

Thanks, and yes that is glittery sequins on top, thanks for noticing

To personalize the pockets, I think I am just going to get 4 neon green mickey heads from Home Depot, print our names on them and then laminate them and stick them on...........I am soooooooo not crafty.............so that is as good as it gets

Thanks for the help Arin!

 

[Magic3forme]

Arin you are sooo organized, ready to help me??

I thought I was doing well just ordering our shirts for Mnsshp. I just went with basic tye dye shirts..just different colors.
Now I need to work on our boarding shirts. and theme shirts. It doesnt help the Disney stores around here are all closing.


I have my list of supplies to buy in Florida now too.... sand toys being the most popular.

Ooooh, I bought sand buckets for my kids from the $1 bin at Target, and was just thinking about how much room they are going to take up in our bags.... Maybe I will just leave these ones at home and buy some cheap ones in Florida Thanks for the idea

The shirts sound cute by the way

Arin- Great pre TR so share! I have enjoyed reading. I can't wait to hear more. Maybe I can give some updates when I come back next week from the Wonder. Oh yeah.......great birthday present for your DH....The Rasul. My Dh and I did this on our last . I am still debating the couples massage at CC. I book , cancel, book, cancel....lol Still deciding on that one.

Arin - Just one question:

I know that Erica does alot of planning, and from what I've read here you've been planning too.

Just wondering if you've started planning your cruise beverages like she has. It takes intense planning sessions to make sure you have those right.

I just had a planning session here for my November cruise. Mojitos will not make the cut.

As a matter of fact..........I have! I even have a spreadsheet.

You are going to be a hard one to keep up with young lady.........but I think I will manage

Sorry to hijack for a moment, but remember, with sand buckets you can fill those full of undies, socks, etc. Really, they end up taking very little room, because the inside is usable space!

Now back to your regularly scheduled pre-trippie!

 

[anc22]

So, not much has happened lately. I have only received 2 more packages from Disneyshopping dot com since I first started my Pre-TR but I am DONE. I don't know that there is anything left on there that I haven't already bought.

Anyway, I finally applied for all of our passports last Thursday. It was an easy process, although I absolutely hate my passport photo and my DH's............his looks more like a mug shot He said that he thought he was supposed to keep a straight face for that kind of photo

I also finally made reservations for our post cruise hotel. We will be staying at the coveted Hyatt MCO inside the airport For some reason I am really excited about this hotel

I also found out last night that we are the most recent victims of the airline changing our flight schedules without notifying us! When I asked them why we didn't receive at least an email, they said that once the trip got closer, we would have received the info. The good new is that the changes aren't all negative. We were supposed to have a direct flight home from MCO to PDX and now we have a short layover in Seattle, but the positive part of this is that instead of our flight leaving MCO at 7:00 a.m. we now don't leave until 9:00, which is great because we won't have to be up quite so early

Well, I think that is all for now. Next up on our list of TO DO'S:
~Strict diet and workout regimen w/trainer
~Clothes/shoe shopping
~Save spending money for cruise

*Note to self* "Get 2nd & 3rd job to pay for above list".
