I am SO EXCITED Honeychild!

3 weeks from tomorrow we get on the red-eye from L.A. - actually...it's probably the only part I'm NOT really looking forward to - LOL - that and the flight back...we have to change in Chicago - UGH! Oh well...that's what happens with limited vacation time! It's okay...it's WORTH it for the cruise

 

[ginabug]

What a nightmare!!! Last night I dreamed that we were about to get on the ship and then realized that we left our birth certs. at home. I remember panicing!! Soooo needless to say I've been stressing all day. How can one little dream effect you so much. I'm gonna spend tomorrow making a "must have list." And then checking it twice. But on another note, was glad to hear Buncco survived the storm.

 

[Honeychild]

Ginabug,
I don't usually have vacation dreams, but I do usually get about 200 miles from home and panic that I've forgotten the tickets! I then have to tear apart everything until I find them. My heart pounds for the next 30 miles and my DH just chuckles. It's a good thing he knows me so well!

I am a list person and I highly recommend it. I've got all the cruise stuff in the living room, and my kids have strict orders not to go in there. I have list upon list. Each weekend is planned with a list of "To Do".

Kalypso, I'll give it a double woohoo, "WooHoo, WooHoo!" I can't believe it is finally here. I am so ready for the fun to begin.

 

[Kalypso]

I am ready for the fun too Honeychild!! Believe me!!

I went through a panic late yesterday at work myself! I was looking through the cruise docs and noticed that the REAS charge wasn't showing up anywhere. Thought that was kind of odd since I knew I'd called and ordered it, made the reservations, etc. So...I posted about it yesterday and Barb - thank God - said it should definitely show up on my total. So...I called DCL? For some reason, the girl who took my original order for the package? Didn't confirm it - so DCL refunded the charge. Thank God for Barb! I was thinking there was some separate receipt I would sign on the ship...but I would've been so upset if I hadn't gotten our package when we boarded I am SO GLAD I posted about it and then called them and straightened it all out!!

THIS BOARD IS THE BOMB!

 

[Honeychild]

Are any of you dressing your family in matching Disney outfits?

 

[Kalypso]

Honeychild - I have no family to dress other than me and DBF
BUT...I AM wearing my Minnie ears when we embark!!

 

[ginabug]

we ordered the make your own T's from the disney store. They say 2004 Stewart family vacation on the Disney Wonder. Since I doubt we'll get off the boat Friday I think we're gonna where them then. I got on the scale and I've gained 12 pounds!!! Soooo, I tried on the clothes for dinner I was gonna pack..... Needless to say I had to pick out alternate sets. Glad I tried everythig on.

 

[Honeychild]

Ginabug and tink(something, I'm sorry it was unusual!) I enjoyed chatting with you tonight! We're getting closer and even though it is hard to believe I am getting more excited.

 

[WhenUwishUponAstar]

I thought I'd chime in since we are offical "teenagers" waiting to board......anyone care to join me in a lil dance??

:thewave: :thewave: :thewave:


ps.. HI MOM!!

 

[Tinkertude]

Honey and Gina great chatting with you all last nite,too. Do you believe it , under 3 weeks to go.



P.S. Hi back dd

 

[ginabug]

I enjoyed last nite too!! Wish I could type faster. Had my yard sale this morning. earned enough to pay for tips and parking. DD started picking up loose change around the house about 6 weeks ago and has earned herself $106.00 mad money.
Yes... I'm getting more excited everyday.

Hello Tinkertude and Whenuwishuponastar

Has anyone checked the prices for nest cruise?
I can book 3day next sept. for about 959.00
Wonder if it will be cheaper than that to book onboard??HMMMM

 

[WhenUwishUponAstar]

No I haven't checked prices, this is a lil something extra for us. We usually take a week in the winter for snowboarding and a week in the spring for WDW. I don't plan on booking a return cruise right away.

I can't beleive that 3 months ago my DGF and I were watching the travel channel and they had the DCL on that day. We were so blown away are mouths just dropped and we looked at eachother and decided to celebrate our 6 year anniversary going on the DCL. And here we are 3 months later counting down 18 days left. She has no idea but she will also be proposed to at that time too! You can image all the things going through my head. We are going to be leaving San Jose (near San Francisco, CA) on September 4th at night, cause we are going to WDW first staying at the ACL.

By the way we will be on deck 6 in 6638 can't wait to see some of you there. Maybe I will see your minnie ears and family shirts, and door signs. Like some of you mentioned. I love this dis board too! It's a great outlet to go to. We got our documents about 5 days ago. I can't leave them alone. We also got passports to make it easier to carry around. Since we plan on traveling to Africa soon and see the real animal kingdom. But for now Go Disney! I can't wait.

Also, feel free to say hello if I am online AOL=inthesnow247

 

[Honeychild]

Wecome to our cruise thread and to the DIS! Engaged, that will be awesome, I'm sure she be suprised. SHHH! we'll keep your secret.

We'll be the crazy family that is dressed alike at dinner!
See Ya Real Soon!

 

[eeyores4me]

Has anyone cruised DIS before? We still have the beverage cups that they sold for the kids, and I was thinking of taking them aboard again. Have you done this?

 

[JamesF408]

Quick question for anyone that may know. I saw some people talking about reservations at Palo already, is it possible to make a reservation this early, because I thought you had to register once you got on the ship?

Can someone let me know, because I want to make sure we have reservations.

Thanks

Only 17 more days me and mine are so eager and worked up, Her and I just went out today for some cruise attire. Just need the coat for my suit.

 

[bobbie30062]
