Formal night was easy for us, fortunately. My profession is as a fundraiser for a children's hospital - which means I attend lots of black tie charity events. So my DH owns a tux and I have a closet full of long dresses purchased over the past few years (NOT prom dresses, though!). My dd's also each had a pretty dressy dress from a family event this year, so we all have something formal to wear at no extra cost. We may be the ONLY ones there in tux and formal dresses, but at least our picture will look good!!

I'm not looking forward to those teen years with two girls close in age. I can already hear the fights over clothes, boys, etc!! Maybe when they get to be teens, DH and I will go on cruises solo!!

You won't be the only one with formal wear and in tuxes. My DS9 can't wait to wear a tux and we are shopping for my DD and DNiece for pretty dress this Saturday. I have a cocktail length dress but it is definately formal. DH will also be wearing a tux.

I"m most like Alice. I couldn't copy it though.

Cute quiz. I'm not sure if it fits though? Maybe?

Alice???

 

[SueRS]

First time most like Minnie. Redid it to post picture of Minnie and now it shows Mickey. Not sure what I answered differently.

Ok, I admit I have lost track of the goodie bag list. Can someone let me know what to update to the first post?

We leave in 31 days. Oh, my.

As for Pirate Night......we dressed up last time (dh was in full pirate costume). This year, we're all wearing Pirate tees/jewelry/head gear. It's a fun night.

Am I the only woman on earth who hates shopping for clothes? And I hate malls too!

I'm not a big fan of shopping either...and I too hate malls. Don't get me wrong...I love cute clothes...I just hate the process of buying them!

Ok Grumpy-Gramps, I have updated the first post.

I also think I have updated all the goodie bag things.

It looks like we have someone listed for chocolate coins but no person.

I am still missing my choice. I will go to 99 cents store soon.

Another Donald here but I couldn't figure out how to get the answer to post here. Glad I wasn't the only one

As far as formal night we will be wearing what we wore for my nephew's wedding in June, my sister and I in cocktail dresses, my mom in a floor length gown, niece will have her bridemaid dress, a black floor length with spaghetti straps and the guys will have suits.

We all love to shop, except for my father , so the cruise is as good as excuse as any other to get new stuff. Plus we will be spending 2 night on either side of the cruise at WDW. I am working very hard to keep down to a minimum what I bring as far as clothes because we bring Poland Spring water with us from NY and we are only allowed to suitcases each. (Sister and nephew have sulfer (sulpha?) allergies and cannot drink other water for prolonged periods.) Zipoc bags in various sizes do come in handy so those will stay on the list. As for shoes, I will probably wear my Crocs, bring my Tevas and two pairs of dress sandals, black and white. I stopped bringing my sneakers years ago when I discovered how comfortable the sport sandals are. I can't decide though whether to bring my Mickey crocs, black, or regular crocs, beige. Also bought niece, white, and nephew, black, Mickey crocs.

SueRS, please udate my sister's (pooh667) and my contibution to the goodie bags as: a glow stick necklace and skull head gummy. Thanks!

Hi all........just stopped by to say hi..

Jac, did the quiz...(Alice).....so cute...

Hi, all! Ragdoll and Tracy, I am also not a huge fan of shopping! Unless you count grocery shopping - which for some strange reason I do enjoy! Maybe because it is the only time each week when I don't have co-workers or children following me around for an hour?

Anyone else worried whether their cabin will hold all the stuff they plan to pack? I think I'm going to need to follow the advice to lay it all out on the bed at home and then put at least 1/2 of it back in the closet! Yikes! DH is just worried that he'll need surgery after helping his 3 princesses tote 2 bags each through the airport!

For those of you going to MNSSHP, are your families wearing costumes? I know the girls will wear a princess dress but DH and I are trying to decide whether we should dress up too!

We were going too then we decided it would be way too hot and uncomfortable so we are wearing mickey head shirts that I made.

You get your ME tags I got mine today !!!!

TIME !!!

Me too.
DH says that the way I shop should be called SEARCH AND RESCUE.
I know what I need, I go in, get it and get out.

Malls are only good if they are not crowded and have a Disney store or I need some exercise and it is cold outside. Otherwise they are a waste of real estate.

At Disney Store too it is search and rescue--in, check out the stock, only talk to the CM if I have a cruise to report on or a question to ask, and out the door.

Now, Downtown Disney or the shops on the ships or in the parks---altogether different experience!!!

Zane: What's ME tags???
JD: did the quiz.. I'm most likely "Ariel" too!

Aaaahh, the shoes are quite a dilemma..but I've decided to bring 1 pair each for formal / semi formal wear, 1 pair of water shoes each, and flip flops for each. I think the "must haves" that i will pack will be ziploc bags and over the door hanger.

Does the wardrobe closet in the cabin hold much?

it's getting close............ and we're getting so excited, even the hurricane reports can't dampen our spirts

I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how much storage space there is in the cabin. There is literally not one inch of wasted space and there are places to store things everywhere: the steamer trunk, the desk, the above the TV, etc. The only "extra" I broght last year that I will bring again this year is the over the door shoe holder. It rocked!

Last year, my DH and I did not dress up in costumes for MNSSHP but just wore a Disney themed t-shirt and our DD was Snow White.

Another question can you buy bottled soda in port and bring on the ship, I would like to keep some in my room.Thanks everyone for all your help,DCL is all I can think about,One whole week to spoil my granchildren without mom and dad telling me I can't, They can have ice cream and soda anytime their little hearts desire,mom and dad can't say no, now thats worth the price of a cruise he , he, he. Its so much fun beibg grandma
