I'm gonna run out for a while now....

 

[BethE]

Okay, with all you people already on vacation or finishing up "one more day" or heading to the airport tomorrow; I need moral support. Is there anyone else out there like me that has to put in a full work week -- I have to be in the office until 6pm on Friday! (And time is creeping by because it is slow here.)

I have to work until 4:30 Friday (pacific time), but at least I'm busy! Today flew by!

When do you fly out? or are you one who can drive there? My flight leaves just after midnight on Friday night/Saturday morning.

Say Beth...

We jet out at 10:30PM on Friday... so we'll be pulling into MCO a little before ya! I think we get in at 6AM... and we're gonna hit our hotel and try to check in early after we get breakfast. We estimate that might be an attempted check in at 9AM. What do you figure the odds are... 1 in 5? Failing that - I'll get my rental car and we're gonna try and kill a few hours exploring until we can check in and try and get a little rest. OR... maybe we'll just change and swim at the hotel in the late morning to kill time.

And what are YOU doing when you land? You should be getting in at 8-9AM if your flight is a non-stop like ours.

I only wish my flight was non-stop this time! I fly out of SEA at 12:35 am, arrive at Cincinnati at 7:53, depart Cincinnati ar 9:10, arrive MCO at 11:17. I usually take the non-stop Alaska Airlines red-eye that gets into MCO around 7:30, but got a better price through Delta this time, plus Harry is also flying them, so that was good (same baggage area, we hope). Harry doesn't arrive until after 12:30. They changed his flight about 4 times. He was originally scheduled to land at 11:07, which would have been perfect.

I've checked into hotels in the morning several times. There was also at least once or twice when I couldn't, but I managed anyway. I think your back-up pool plan is a good one, and if you can find a couple lounge chairs in the shade you can grab a nap right there.

By the time we get to the Radisson it will be time for the meet at the pool and then the Grills meet, so I've resigned myself to getting by without a nap on Saturday. Will get to bed early though, I'm sure.

And then up early on Sunday for the trip to the terminal!

Beth

 

[captaincrash]

Wow Beth.....

.... you've hot a bi of a back flip going here = but at least you're coordinating with Harry nicely. That makes it worth while, eh?

At any rate, I've got the 2 kids to myself to manage tonight and tomorrow. SO, I'm gonna retire to lurk off and on for the next few hours.... and maybe sleep - we'll soon see if tonight is any better then last nite whcih kept us up til 2 with the younger one.

 

[Hygiene99]

Do you mean the roster link in post #5? To whom should I send it?

The only problem is that although I have a stateroom assignment, it's not 100% guaranteed until I check-in at the port. That's a benefit/drawback of sailing as a Cast Member...

Well we have plans for that also !!!

So Give it Up !!!!

Tony, just click the link !!!

3 more Wake ups

ok so who else will come out of LURKING TODAY!!!
You culd be number 300 & 301
Cant wait to try out the NEW boxers!!

 

[GOS]

I do believe they give out numbers for boarding. Starting with 2 and up.

That is what they did for us when we went on the Magic in June.

But they do board Conciere and elderly/disability first and then start with the numbers. There isn't a line anymore - you just hang around the terminal

Anyone else have any recent changes?

Yes, you get given them when you reach the top of the escalators. Rick and I missed this last year and had to wait for a later number. Won't do that agin.

[krdisneybound]

If we don't sleep, does it come any quicker??

or maybe we can take 3 short naps today

3 more Wake ups

 

[krdisneybound]

when we were there in June, they gave out boarding passes at the security tables - I think they do different things at different times - who knows what they will do this time

My pup (cocker) is still in the hospital on IV's. She had to have surgery on her head/ear/eye this past week. Don't know if I will have her home by the time I leave. House has been so quiet w/o her since Sunday. We'll see

 

[papa]

Hope to be on I-75 south between Chattanooga and Atlanta at this time tomorrow. Took the car to the dealer and had the oil changed, new tires and I installed new wiper blades so we should be good to go.

Hope the butter tarts make it through security ok.

Time to get breakfast started for Kathy, Katie and me. Mike

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

Beth

I leave home Friday night after work to drive from Lancaster PA to Northern NJ (to meet up with my parents and sister). Our flight doesn't leave Newark until midafternoon on Saturday. We're going to miss the pre-cruise meets on Saturday because we don't get in early enough so we are just going to hunker down at the Hyatt while we are in Orlando before the cruise.

I hope your pup makes it home before your have to travel! We have had Samoyeds for near 20 years and are considered canine friends by most.

 

[Regina]

Safe travels to all of you who are lucky enough to be starting your vacation now.

 

[Regina]

Every obsticle is an opportunity to......SHOP!! That's what I did when someone snuck in and shrunk my clothes! I just bet it's the same person!

You read my mind. After I get my "cruise" hair cut today, I'm off to the Mall to do some emergency cruise clothes shopping.
