[cujobugs]

Bye to everyone leaving today. I was so sad last night when the boards were down! I missed my nightly catch up on everyone's day! I have a mountain to move in the packing dept. today. I have heaps of clean laundry all over my bed. Now I just have to figure out what I'm taking, iron it, and put it in the garment bag. Thank goodness that you can drop you bags at the curb, I think I'm going to have around 6 or 7! I know that I will pack way too much, but with 3 kids, it's almost impossible not to. Well need to get Addison ready for preschool, and then take Lilo to the pet hotel. I should have a couple of hours to pack in peace when I get back!

Julie- We are thinking along the same lines with Ron Jon. I actually called them a week ago to see if you could come to pool if you were interested. They said you have to wear wrist bands to get into the area, and you only get the amount of wristbands that your room accomodates. Our room accomodates 8 people. We have 7 coming. So we only had one extra band. Therefore I didn't get to invite ya! Rats. Are you all renting at Budget?

Marsha- Please post before you go. ..........does the Tiki bar by pool sound good? We don't have to stay there, just so we can find each other. Then we can go closer to the pool area so everyone can swim. Happy traveling tomorrow!

Season and Eric- what is the best speed for underwater photography?

I must run. Tonight is the clean the house night. Yuck. Deanna

Most all of the underwater cameras are atleast 800 speed.
I got one the other day at Wally World, I think it was a
Kodak... I didn't have much of a choice it was the only
underwater camera they had!

 

[fourfoxesinpa]

What kind of camera do you have?

It's going to depend greatly upon your camera's megapixel rating and what you'll have your picture quality set to.

It's a Canon A520 4.0 mp. I have NO clue how to set the picture quality yet so it's probably shooting at full resolution? I'm going to spend my airport time reading the owner's manual. I think I'll run to the Wal-Mart to grab another memory card just to be safe. Just when I thought I was done...

To everyone who's leaving today: Have fun, be safe, and it won't be long until lunch at Parrot Cay!

To everyone else...good luck with your last minute errands, house cleaning ( and packing.

Deanna - Well, thanks for checking anyway! Yes, we are renting from Budget as well. Are you going to do the husband-drop-you-off-at-the-port thing? I must go clean up this pig sty. Fun, fun, fun. Can't wait for the cold "D"rinkie!

We are also renting from Budget at MCO and driving over. Julie did you know Budget has a free shuttle to the port??? Last time we arrived at port too early and they wouldn't let us in for DH to drop us off soo we all went to Budget and shuttled over, was noo problem

GoodBye to : Ingrid, Smilingmouse, and Everyone else leaving today. Have safe travels and we'll see you Saturday!!!!!!

Good Morning Kim,

You must have not had your cup of coffee, my post was completed at 5:28AM, post number 3277.

Tomorrow morning will be my last post til I see everyone on Saturday. Don't worry the last coffee sunshine post will be completed tomorrow around the same crazy AM hour.

Didi

 

[b&j's_mom]

This is my last day here. I am kind of sad, crazily enough. You all are such a fun group of people, I can't wait to meet you. It should be a good time.

Kim - I'm not sure when we are leaving today. Probably around 1 or 2 pm. Bailey has a half day of kindergarten from 10:35 a.m to 12:30 am.

Goodbye to everyone else who is already leaving or gone! Ingrid, smilingmouse, everyone else. I am going to miss Didi's morning coffee report tomorrow.

To those of your who haven't packed yet: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! My husband has not packed ONE thing yet and we are leaving in about 4 hours. I have not nagged or bugged him at all. It's all up to him to not forget anything.

One last dance:



Bye!

 

[ErinC]

Thanks for making me not look so bad Kim. At least someone else procrastinates like I do. Julie, 4 hours is cutting it pretty close! Please have a great trip. I told my DH last night that I can't wait to meet all of you. Hope to see you all soon! I'll be checking in right up until we leave tomorrow hopefully around noon. We are going to stay at Downtown Disney, and then we'll high tale it to the port in the AM on Sat. I talked to Southernmouse at least 15 times yesterday! We had to discuss all our last minute packing items. She is probably in the air as we speak. I think that they are supposed to be in Orlando and at WDW by lunch time.(I'm soooo jealous) Of course we could have gone too, but we'd be naked! Talk to you later!

You should be good for at least 100 - 150 pictures with a 256MB card then. I've got a Nikon 5.0 Megapixel camera and my 512MB card holds 209 pictures on the 2nd highest resolution.

Thanks! I think I'm going to buy another card just so we're safe. We usually shoot around 150 pictures on a week's vacation.

Just charged the kids' gameboys for the plane, the camcorder battery and my palm pilot. I looked at the pile of stuff to get packed into the car tonight and just realized it's true - We're really leaving tomorrow!!!!!

All I have to do is get my boarding pass at Southwest tonight and that should be it.



For all of you in WDW or getting there in the next 24 hours, have a blast! Tell Mickey the Foxes will be there soon and are VERY excited to see him again.

 

[mcentee]

For you Julie,

Ahh, can you taste the coffee. Use this for tomorrow, and enjoy the beginnings of your vacation.

I'll be able to give you a Good Morning in post in person soon.

Didi

[DHMcEntee]

It's been so much fun joking and chatting with this group that I'm feeling sad right now. Didi and I (and DS8 Patrick) look forward to meeting you all on Saturday.

Brother Wart Hog ~ How is the junk mail coming?

I just re-surfaced from Photoshop doing junk tradeshow stuff.

One of my customers got wind of the vacation and got out of control.

Hopefully I'll have them off my back in a couple of hours.

Wart Hog 1 out

Kim ~ You're still there? Are you making the whole journey from Oregon tomorrow?

Bill

 

[ErinC]

Just talked to Southernmouse, they are at Saratoga Springs Resort eating lunch. They almost missed their flight this morning, terrible traffic in Birmingham. Eric and Season, make sure you leave plenty of time for yourselves. Keri said they got to the airport 20 minutes before their plane was to take off! Delta wasn't going to let them on the plane, but Keri begged and begged and they finally let them on! All is well now! Keri said for me to tell you goodbye until Sat. from her!

And, I just checked my cruise ressie online and we got our waitlist for early dining! One less thing I have to do when we get on the ship! Well more packing awaits!

 

[b&j's_mom]

Ok, I just checked my reservation online. We are early, too. Which doesn't really matter to me, I just wanted to make sure that I was still linked up with everyone. I called Disney and they said that we are ALL on early dining now. All of us that have our dining reservations linked are now on early. I don't know how everyone is going to feel about that. Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up.
