Welcome home Woody ! I hope you have your earth legs back.

Welcome home Woody - wow, that was some cruise!

WOW! Glad you had fun. It looks good.

Glad you've safely returned home and had an amazing time!

Woody - Welcome back!!! Sounds like it was an awesome cruise and the picture is fantastic!

Thank you for the warm welcomes. It's nice to be back planning this TA cruise with you.

From our travels, here are some observations on luggage:

1. Pack light. I took too many clothes on our last long cruise. I really did not need six pairs of pants. What's the saying, "Take half the clothes and twice the money."

2. Check your airline's luggage limits. Foreign carriers (such as British Airways, Air France, Air New Zealand) often have stricter luggage restrictions than U.S. carriers. Be sure to review the limits. You don't want to get to the airport with a 40 lb. carry-on only to find that your carrier has a 25 lb. carry-on limit, and you have to pay an extra $100 to check that bag.

3. Double check luggage limits for European domestic flights. If you are planning any flights in Europe (such Paris or London to Barcelona), note that luggage restrictions can be even stricter, as little as 15 lbs. for a carry-on.

Woody, thanks for the awareness of potential carry-on weight constraints. I never would have thought to check that.

Just popping in to say "hi!" and to let you know my Mom has been perusing this thread and our website and is getting all excited herself!

See you all soon!

 

[M4travels]

Greetings! It's been a few months since I've checked in and thought today was the day to do so! Sent the info in for the roll call and chomping on the bit for this cruise to happen!

Hi everyone. DH and i just got back from a week with our kids and grandkids at the Outer Banks. It is amazing how fast seven days go by. The nice thing is that I was able to have some ME time. My DH was really good about that. He knew I needed to just veg and have alone time in the pool. I even bought a Pandora bracelet.

I will be sure to post pictures. Our oldest son took a lot of pictures and we did a family portrait. Just hoping we got one good one out of all of the pictures he took. The kids did post pictures on facebook.

After Magic Meets I can really concentrate on this trip!!!!!

Thanks Woody!

Hello all - just wanted to let you know we are booking our ressies for all Castaway club members tonight for our Tortola cruise - won't it be exciting when we can do that for this cruise????

Just thought I'd stir you all up into a frenzie!

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

Hi again everyone!
It's been awhile since I've checked in... we just got back from our week at FW (had a great time!) and then the 7nt western--- which was fabulous btw and we really miss it! Now we really REALLY can't wait for this cruise... and it's such a long time to wait. *pout*

I'll have to read back and catch up a bit- but I hope everyone is doing well!

Anyone know how to time warp so we can be closer to sail date for this cruise?

Can we expect a trip report????

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

You know- I've always journaled (writing in journal- not online anywhere LOL) but I've never written a trip report before. This time maybe I will get around to doing that!!!! It was definitely a wonderful trip so it would be a delight to share it!!! I tihnk the reason I've never wrote a trip report before is that I know I wouldn't be able to write like the entertaining, eloquent, awesome trip reports I've read here. Yanno? hmmm.. maybe I'll get working on that soon. Maybe you talked me into it. LOL

I wonder where I should put my whole trip report (camping forum or cruise forum) or if I'd have to split it up to post about each portion of the trip in a trip report in each forum? I'll have to read some other trip reports to see if it's okay to post in the cruise forum our ENTIRE trip or only the cruise portion.

Hey are we really going to have such a short time at CC? The times that are showing now are basically eat lunch the minute you get off the ship? I'm really not fond of that.. we look forward to Castaway cay and I'm not happy about such a short time there. I mean the time there usually goes so fast anyway- I can't imagine how fast those few hours would go by.
Do you really think it will stay that way and they really intend to just give us a few hours at CC? I hope not.

Thought I would mention that DisneyStore.com has the "Mickey Mouse Hawaiian" shirts and dresses for the family on sale right now.

To ultimately save even more, when making purchases, I always access the site through MrRebates.com. Mr. Rebates gives you 3% back on your purchase for this on-line retailer. I use it often for purchases here as well as QVC, Oriental Trading Co., Snapfish (that gives you 14% back!), Kodak Easy Share, Teleflora, and many more popular sites. In fact, I just got a check from Mr. Rebates last week for $29 that I deposited into my cruise savings account!

Hi! We will be there from Sept 20 - 27 at Pop Century, for the free dining. Then we will be at BLT for nine days, followed by Kadani Village for 10 days. So we will catch F&W for the first three weeks. Let's get together!

I know this is a cruise thread, but I wanted to share two pictures taken while I was with my DH and kids and grandkids down in the Outer Banks in North Carolina. If I cannot be doing something Disney then spending time with my family is the next best thing.

Here's a link to my trippee and if you have any questions...please ask away.
