Sept. 14, 7 Day Roll Call

[rgionet]

We don't fly out until Saturday morning either! We leave Providence at 7:20 on Delta Express and arrive in Orlando just after 10.
I still need to find a few disposable underwater cameras!! I think I started looking a little too late I wanted to take some underwater pictures when we go snorkeling.

Renee,

For those underwater disposable cameras try either a big chain drug store (Walgreens, CVS, Eckerd, etc.) or big discount store (Walmart, Target, etc.) they usually always have them.

See you on deck 10 at sailaway Saturday.......

I haven't seen an underwater cameras up here, so I figure I can pick them up at Walmarts when we get down there FRIDAY I went to a wedding Sat and they gave out bubbles to blow at the couple (I guess better than throwing rice). I didn't use much so I'll be bringing them with me for the sail-away. I won't start packing until after I take the dog to the kennel Thurs morning (he gets upset when he sees me pack).

 

[rgionet]

Thanks for the ideas Kathy! I have only tried a few CVS stores so far. I'll have to stop into Walmart and Walgreens to see if they have any

Especially for those who will be coming in early. We print address labels for everyone we plan to send a postcard to. We did enough so that we can send cards from WDW, Sea World, Key West and Castaway Cay. Saves some of that addressing time for fun stuff.

Welcome gdulaney. I will add you to our list. Plan on meeting us in the terminal or on Deck 10 for the party.

Renee,

Have no fear, you know you will be able to buy a disposable water camera on the ship....of course at twice the cost, but remember you're on vacation!!!

We're flying out of Philly Fri at 8pm after working all day. This is actually the first time we're going to fly before the cruise so there was no way I was going to take a chance of anything messing up by flying Sat.

BTW, since you're going out, Just wanted to let you know that if anyone way planning on doing phonecards as extra tips ( seems to be a popular item ), they are on sale this week 'buy one get one free' at Walgreens 2 - 60 minute cards for $10. I always stock up when they're on sale them use them for extra tips or throw them in birthday cards.

I have no idea how we are going to fit everything we want to pack in our bags. At least we can pack upstairs and the bird has no idea that he's going to the 'pet resort' in just 3 days.

Hello September 14 Disney Magic Cruisers!
It has been interesting to see the excitement about the cruise. This will be our 5th Disney Cruise and we are just as excited as the first. We are a married couple with no children. We also enjoy other cruise lines but we especially look forward to sailing on the Disney Cruise Line. They entertain the adults as well as the children with the Chef Series, Palo's adults only dining, Champagne Brunch which is only $15/person and worth every penny. Also, it is nice to enjoy the movies at the Buena Vista Theater. Hope everyone enjoys their cruise.

Only Friday I fear.
We are being pressed about taking Christina out of school for a whole week and she has a school function on Thursday.

Our life is now totally devoted to the cruise.
There are no other subjects at all.
I love it.

I wanted to wish all you 9/14ers a wonderful trip! I know some of you will be leaving for Fl in the next day or so. Please travel safely and have a FANTASTIC cruise!Also remember us on the 9/28 and give us some detailed trip reports!

Also keep in mind that NEXT YEAR a bunch of us are going again on OCT.11,2003.

 

[TxJasmine]

Welcome Michael and Lisa! Just wanted to say hi since I see that you are from Clovis. I grew up in Fresno many years ago. I have wonderful memories of growing up in the Central Valley, but from what I've heard, Fresno has changed quite a bit over the years!

So Windermere,

Do you fly out at 8:00 Friday night or 7:55. We may be on the same plane. We are flying US Air #1127. Maybe we'll see you there. Looking forward to cruising with all of you.

 

[Windermere]

We leave Fri 7:55pm USAir. I guess we'll see you there. DH and I were trying to figure out clothes and which luggage tonight.

Thanks Mary - Just 2 more weeks for you guys. Maybe we'll pass each other when we get off on the 28th. Doing Happy Limo with a late pick-up on the 28th so we may see some of the early arrivals for Cruisears.

Ok I am ready - I found my underwater cameras at Walmart!! And at $8 much cheaper than the ship!!
Everytime I turn around I feel like I am adding more to my packing list! At this rate I will never be done.

 

[ruvidu]

Man, where has the last 5 months gone. I think that is when I started this thread. Now we have over 150 new friends that we know share one of our loves, DCL. I have a few things to take care of today; buy post card stamps, two more underwater cameras, new buttons for blue blazer (two missing). We are packed and ready to put the bags in the car tonight. We gotta be at the jet port at 5:15 in the morning. We arrive in Orlando about 9:15.
We will drive over to the Radisson and turn in our Avis rental car early Sat. morning. If you get to the terminal before they open the doors on Saturday, look for us in line. We usually start standing in line when it gets to the ship model located in the middle of the terminal. If I don't see you there we will see on Deck 10 for the party. Remember - Round man wearing orange shirt and geen lei. Shouldn't be too many like that there.

Hi everybody!
Just laying out the clothes we will be wearing down on our flight out of Hartford on Fri. afternoon. We are staying at the Hyatt at the airport like we did last year, and have reservations at Hemisphere Restaurant for that evening. Nothing to do now but relax - as if I could! The minute the suitcases came out, the cat
started acting snooty. He knows suitcases mean a trip to the Kennel, but he'll survive. If I was any more keyed up, I'd blow apart, and we aren't leaving until Friday morning! Don't think I'll get much sleep the next couple of nights. I seem to be writing lists and packing bags in my dreams. Just sent an e-mail to our daughter here in CT and our son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters in MI to let them know which flights we are on and the ship number and room number. Now they can worry. I'm just getting set to enjoy a wonderful week with all of you folks.

See you there! Jan

Russ & Miss Vivian & all fellow 9/14ers,

Everyone have a safe journey and we will meet on deck 10 at sailaway......wouldn't it be funny if we all wore organge shirts & sported a green lei!!!!

Kathy & Skip

 

[ruvidu]

I just packed 50 green leis. All you have to do is wear the orange shirts. We would really appreciate it since our Clemson Tigers are playing Georgia Tech Saturday and we need all the help we can get.

Russ

 

[bdurrett]

We could really confuse people. I've got the orange shirt and I'm round too. But I don't have the green lei. It still doesn't seem real that we are going this weekend. We are going to try to get to the port around 10:30 or so. I guess I'll get a lei then. My wife was born in Hawaii so it is appropriate for her to wear one!

- Bobby

 

[tokathy]

Can I still get a lei to wear if I wear my NY Yankee shirt?????
