[Shulie13]

So sweet of our Mail person, has been seeing all the Disney mail and know my mail gets stopped tomorrow.. When she delivered my mail today she told me to have a fun and safe trip.... How cool is that...

So the nerves have kicked in!!!!! Cleaned the bathroom and doing laundry right now and I am thinking about cleaning the dining room and kitchen this morning or put it off until later on today to work off some more nervous energy, should really get some sleep

I think my DH is soo ready to leave, he loaded the car tonight with the luggage and we do not even leave until Friday.. he only has two work days for a total of 25 hours left..to work... I think I have packed everything but the kitchen sink. See everyone soon... I am thinking about making a large mickey head made of lime green or green with DIS on it..for the meets and greets

FOZ---we are going to meet at the tables behind where Nemo's Reef is.. is this an easy place to find? There are table there RIGHT?????

Nemo's Reef ...

• Deck 11 AFT ... can't miss it
• It sits in-between the port and starboard entrances to Cabanas ... so there are a lot of tables on both sides
• The main swimming pools and the giant movie screen is forward of the reef
• And it sits in front of the AFT smoke stacks
• Take the MID-ship elevators to Deck 11 ... then exit out to the deck by Whozits & Whatzits and look AFT
• If you take the AFT elevators, you'll end up to the AFT entrances to Cabanas and have to walk through to mid-ship ... if you take the FWD elevators, you'll have to walk through the adult section, Quiet Cove Pool, to get MID-ship.
• For those with difficulty with FWD and AFT, FWD is forward (bow or front of the vessel) and AFT is the A_S end of the ship (the stern or back of the vessel) ... Port is left (when facing FWD) and Starboard is right ... MID is of course, the middle of the ship ... and will be a problem area on your body after a week of Disney dining
  

For those interested in Palo and Remy brunch, there are still plenty of opportunities for reservations when you get onboard (first come basis between 1 pm - 3:15 pm in-person and 3:15-5 pm via voice mail). Suggest in-person ... Juan was great and helped us get the spots we wanted in both restaurants). Take the AFT elevators to deck 12 and he will be in Palo (Palo is on your left and Remy is on your right) ...

We've done Palo Brunch (loved it - the scallops and Oysters Rockefeller - yum - not so much for DW as she is allergic to seafood and shellfish! - oh and the caviar ), Palo Dinner (great - their signature Chocolate Souffle dessert - best I have ever had) and Remy's last night for dinner as it was our 20th Anniversary (wonderful dining experience - we left a very sizeable tip! This is definitely not your "in and out in an hr" experience).

Can't wait to see y'all

BigRed1 ... thanks for the email re: the FE lists ... any other additions as DW and I will be doing both groups for the FE exchange ...

It's almost time! We will be at the airport 24 hours from now! So much to do! I can't wait to meet everyone!

 

[Disney_Alli]

Just checked us in for our 6am flight tomorrow. The parents are already down in Florida and will be picking us up at the airport when we finally get in around 6pm... Then the drive up to Cocoa Beach - I think tomorrow is going to be a VERY LONG DAY!

I echo this sentiment! We drop the kids off to school for a few hours, drop the pup, head to the airport about 10:00 am, & arrive MCO 11:45pm! I am SO glad we're staying at the Hyatt... We should be in bed by 12:30....

We're going to be up at 2am to head to the airport at 3am for our 6am flight arrive around 6pm (admittedly it'll be only be 4pm for us) then drive to Cocoa Beach and crash!

So should have thought of this earlier! How can people from land contact us on the cruise if there's an emergency with our dog?

We're staying at the Radisson... Hopefully we'll be around the pool by 1:00PM! We're traveling with 5 adults and 7 kids ranging from 11th grade down to 2nd grade. See you tomorrow!

 

[QueenGuinevere]

Snowfall wow that season starting so soon. We are currently at WDW after a long but uneventful flight yesterday, way less stressful than we had imagined, our youngest daughter slept for 5 hours which only left 4 hours of entertainment for her. We are getting our body clocks ready for a fun filled week of cruising : )
