[bonzie1]

For all of you SALE shoppers... got this in the mail... GREAT SALE for Coldwater Creek. 50% of EVERYTHING in the catalog. Just placed an order, and even the 70% clearance sections reduced further...

Now, let's hope everything FITS!!! (code WCL5155 ends Friday July 22nd)

Even though they are 13 months apart, I dress them like twins! I don't know how much longer I'm going to pull that off! Plus, I'm thinking photos with the characters and how cute they'll be all dressed up!

Don't feel bad, my girls are 2 1/2 years apart and I dress them alike all the time. Heck, my mom sews and I'm constantly having her make them matching dresses. As we speak, she's making them matching dresses with a purple fabric with Disney princesses all over it. And, we have a pink princess fabric that we've had for years that she's going to make some dresses out of (we bought it all out, about 15 yds, several years ago, so we still have tons). But, my oldest wants to bring all of her princess costumes that my mom has made for her (Ariel, Aurora, Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine). The bad part is that they take up a LOT of room. They are made of satin with petticoat-type underskirts. They are beautiful, but I might let her only bring 2 of them.

I got a bunch of dresses on clearance these last couple of weeks.

Yep, I've fallen into this too. No wonder I have so many outfits to choose from. It's amazing the sales this time of year. Definately a good time to be getting ready for a cruise.

Can you belive winter coats are already out??

I need one of these this year but somehow I can't put my effort into a winter coat in July.

They sound just what a princess needs to wear.

I'm sure she'll look adorable.

Hey Georgie, do you have stock in Coldwater Creek....Tee Hee, Trying to get folks there instead of Walmart... There goes my stock.... LOL

Hey Linda is Robert packing his grass Skirt????

Lynn is right I will most likley bring a jacket, even though we are not planning a night at Palo.

This trip will be very much a see what comes up kinda cruise, no plans whatsoever, depending on DVC and DIS meets. Will be at the onboard DIS meet and maybe PI depending on Flights.

I am ready to get this puppy a rolling.

Will our room have hangers or should we plan to bring extras from home?

Thanks! Julie

Julie,
The room does have hangers but I don't think that there are enough. I usually bring the hangers from the dry cleaners as extras and then toss them after the cruise.

Bonzie thanks for the heads up on the sale! Love to shop from the comfort of my home!

Amy the dresses sound beautiful. Ah........Let her bring them - what's another suitcase I use to dress my two oldest girls alike for the holidays - but it's been many years since they would let me do that.

I haven't decided what I'm bringing - John will bring dockers/button down shirts/polo type shirts. He will bring one jacket for dinner. For our last 7 night cruise he bought a tux - I wished we had a formal night on the 4 night - he looked so, so, so................oh la la in that tux! (I hope he's not lurking )

I've only been on one cruise, but we just asked our stateroom host for more hangers, and he brought them in just a few minutes.

I know what you mean. We bought DH a tux for our 7-day, along with they Disney vests & ties, and he looked AWESOME!!! Gotta love a guy in a tux!!

Scott... Hmmmm Walmart vs. Colwater Creek??? I vote for WALMART hands down BUT I ALWAYS vote for a SALE too!

Maybe since Brandon is coming too, I can get Joe to wear a grass skirt. Since I don't know our rotation I'm not sure how to plan that one out... We'll definitely bring the pirate outfits, and probably the tropical shirts too. If I knew we would be at Parrot Cay a night other than Pirate night, the grass skirts would be a go! Also, Lynn + Linda... I'll be bringing the light up flippie floppies!

Hey Linda... sent you a PM about dining...

We too are taking it easy... very laid back for this cruise... still burned out from all the planning/packing/unpacking from the PC cruise.

Since everyone will have pre-booked most of their special wants, how early are people planning on showing up at the port? Do you think there will be anything special going on early? Trying to finalize some plans...

 

[cgcw]

Does everyone know what tomorrow is?

For those of you who have already booked your excursions, am I right in reading that nothing was able to be booked until after 9 am eastern time? I don't want to oversleep.

Lisa, I know this information is buried in this thread because I remember posting about it. Let me see if I can find it. I know our plans are to arrive early and spend a good part of the day on the ship.

Speaking of finalizing plans...

I did some reading up last night about the Spa. DBF and I are interested in the Rasul (Surial Bath) . I went to "My Cruise Plans" and looked under what's being offered from the spa and didn't see this listed. Do you think it will be offered on this cruise (I know the physical location will be there) or is it booked up? If it's still avavilable what will it cost?

Also, I have REAS and I would prefer the Spa Taster over the Well Being since we booked a Couples Well Being for a CC Cabana. However I don't remember the Spa Taster ever being listed. Is this just something I tell the massage therapist when I show up for the appointment?

I'm not planning on being at the ship until 1:00. I'll be swinging by Celebration in the AM and then we're stopping at Ron Jon so this pre-booking really saved us time and running around!!!

Yes, I think that it was about 9am that we started to see the times opening up.

 

[alikat99]

Our plan is to be at the port early. We want to get in line and be ready to board as soon as possible. I want to enjoy the Wonder for as long as I can.

Cindy,

You're reading it wrong... you can't start booking until.... oh.... around.... 9:26 am EST....
::calculating how long it will take to scoop Cindy on reservations::

I was wondering about other spa offerings myself. It seemed to me like the menu was small as far as prebooking goes. Does anyone know if the menu when you board and book then different? I have the seaweep wrap booked, and I'm keeping it.....but I'm wondering if I need to see what other options are out there.....

Amy--I wish I had a sewing person in my family. I would drive them crazy with princess requests I'm sure......I have a sewing machine.....maybe I should learn how to use it.....

I think I read *somewhere on the main cruise board* that you can't book the Rasul online. I don't really remember a lot since I just can't get into the whole concept of the surial bath. It's the whole mud wrestling thing I guess...

Note to self: Amy will be easy to find... she will be the one with the sleeping bag at the port...
