Wow - sixth floor seems like our floor - I can not wait!! The stairs are great for exercise and are much quicker than the elevators!

Is everyone decorating their door? If you do, make sure you put your DISboard user name on it so we can "ID" you.

Still no docs today. I bought our mat frame yesterday for people to sign. I think we'll attatch it to our door with magnets.

 

[woj68]

That's a great idea Jenn. I was thinking of doing the same thing but having the characters sign it instead. Will look awesome framed.

Count one more family on Deck 6. We are in 6090 right next door to Daisy112878.

Ok, I know none of us want to think about the END of the cruise but I was just thinking...maybe we should plan a DIS meet for the final night of the cruise too so that everyone can say goodbye if they want. It's much better to plan now, since we'll have a hard time getting word around on the ship. So, how about the final night (Friday) we plan on meeting right after Until We Meet Again???? (which is in the main lobby at 10:30pm) Say, 10:45 or so in the Promenade Lounge again. (It's right around the corner form the lobby) Anyone second the motion????

We're on deck 6 too. My sister in law's family is also on deck 6.

I actually saved our packing list from the cruise in 2003 as an Excel file, and I only had to update it for this one. I've been tweaking it for weeks already. OK, I overplan, I know it. I haven't actually pulled out the suitcases yet, but I will by this weekend. I'm working on door signs for everyone traveling with us. I have a box packed with diapers, formula, babyfood, and wipes that I am going to ship down to the port some time this week.

About the only thing I need to still get for the cruise is something for formal night. I don't want to wear the same thing I wore last time, but I don't have anything else I really like. I've been shopping, but I can't find what I want.

I chickened out over the weekend, and I bought a plane ticket for our 8 month old son. I was going to go with him on our laps and hope there was space on the plane, but I decided I would spend my spa money on a ticket instead.

Ah, can't get here soon enough. I had a really lousy day at work today, and it isn't going to get better between now and the cruise. I bet I work every weekend between now and then.

I'm also a part of the "Deck 6 Club"! We're in 6134. VERY cool!

That sounds good. After we get our DS9 put to bed (unless he's still in the clubs) we can head down to meet everyone. I'll mention it to the DW.

OK. I've put together a preliminary list of DISers who are all staying on Deck 6 so we're easy to find. If I've missed someone please feel free to add it on.

Today I am excited about it being only 18 days until we cruise.

But today my dd 17 starts her senior year in high school and for some reason I feel really sad, then I am happy. Very mixed emotions about this.

Welcome aboard Jay045!!!

[daisy112878]

Fltink - I second the last night meeting motion. 1045 sounds good to us.

Welcome aboard Jay!! We don't have any excursions planned. We are more go with the flow and decide when we get there. We didn't want to have to be somewhere at a certain time if we didn't want too. We do have spa appts through!!!

Nope....we're with Donnica on deck 5

 

[fltink]

I just cancelled two excursions of ours. I decided that Parasailing would be fun, but it's very expensive on Castaway Cay and I'd much prefer to do it at Disney anyway and have a Magic Kingdom view. We also cancelled the Grand Cayman Island tour. We decided that we'd rather take our own time going to see the sights. You can always pay a taxi driver to stay with you for a few hours while you sight see. Vic, did you aleady change the time of yours to go with us??? If you did, then you are welcome to join us when we go around on our own, if you'd like.

 

[kymma]

Wow there are a lot of people on deck 6! Add me to the list! We are in #6590!

I need to start packing!
