Unofficial check-in for 2/23 Magic

[cinbis]

I hope your children are feeling better by Friday!!! It seems everyone around us has been sick! We're keep our fingers crossed. My older son thinks his ear infection has reoccurred. I'm bringing him to the doctor this afternoon.


I think we're ready! My husband's neice is going to house and cat sit for us. She's all set to come. I have a few last minute things to buy today and then we're all set (I think!!).

We were also at the Dr's today. My little one has a fever and ear infection. Strangely enough , he was sick on last year's cruise too. At least he has a couple of days to get the med in him. My older one is off until friday on a school trip. Let's just hope he comes home healthy. So the piles of clothes are there and ready to go into the suitcases. Warm weather here we come!!!!!

ChrisN,

I know what you mean. My daughter (6) woke up this morning and said her throught was soar. I thought "Nooooooooooooo...be sick March 3, not now!" What I said was "It's OK honey. Just take it easy today and rest after school. I'm sure you'll be better tomorrow."

Let's hope!!
3 MORE DAYS till our flight and 4 DAY till CRUISE - HURRAY!!!!

Hear's to healthy kids!!!

OK, I'm a little distracted. I meant "Here's" not "Hear's!"

Hope everyone takes all their meds and gets well really quickly!

I just know that I'm overpacking--after promising myself that I wouldn't do this. I refuse to do laundry on vacation. We are two adults who really should be able to keep our clothes clean. We'll see.

Not nearly as worrisome as sick children, but our dog was just diagnosed with diabetes on Friday. Ed & I are doing okay giving him his insulin shots, but now he'll be staying with a friend of ours while we're gone. Never a dull moment!

See everyone soon--------Karen

being sick is no good... hope everyone starts to feel better. I was sick when I went to Hawaii last year for the first few days and things just werent the same... I could never ever ever want to be sick in Disney. I would cry. ;-)

Really not a total dunce, but am new to this "posting" thing!! Just read some of the previous posts. What is the thing with the lime green ribbons??? We are staying at the Radisson the night before. Like some of you, I too have one sick child. Hopefully he will be better before Friday. (and has not "infected" the rest of us! lol. ( Am soooo proud, just figured out what that means!) My teen daughter, Sarah is excited about the upcoming trip and the boys are even more excited. We are a little disappointed about the late seating but have heard differing views on it. The kids are night owls, but I am not. I prefer to get up at 5 am and watch the sunrise! Hope I have packed all the right clothes etc. I am a pro at packing for disneyworld as we go at least twice a year, and my old adage has always been in we need it we can buy it. somehow I don't think that will work in the middle of the ocean!! Still haven'ty booked any excursions. The only one I think we are interested in is Coral World Any advice. HOpe this isn't too long. Thanks for any replies. Elaine in Idaho (It is rainy, wet and cold!!!)

Welcome Elaine & family--

I first found out about the lime green ribbons on our cruise last September. Seems that the people who enjoy the DIS-boards wanted a way to spot each other at WDW or on the ship. Someone came up with the idea of wearing ribbons. Lime green was the color choice because no other group (that anyone knew of) used lime green as a symbol.

See you at our first contact at the Promenade Lounge after the safety drill.

Welcome Bill & Elaine!

We also have late seating and we have two small kids - 6 and 2 - so you won't be the only ones!

P.S. Good grief - I just read my post from yeterday and saw I typed soar for sore - I'm *SO* ready for this vacation!!! See you all soon!

 

[eshannon]

[Matty02]

hmm, i still need to get that. ahh plenty of time! where is everyone? why has this post been so quiet!!!!

 

[gobbi45]

Everyone is either out buying last minute stuff, deciding what to pack or not pack, or maybe watching the olympics.
Speaking of the olympics, does anyone know if we will be able to catch the closing ceremonies on Sunday?

 

[Matty02]

1 day. Wow, I still havent packed.
