Hi Susan,

All I have learned so far is it is about a 1/2 hour and it is just to get people familiar with the ship (where things are). I have gotten both good and so so feedback. I figure we could be doing that for 25 minutes and run for the next five to the meet.

One week from right now our plane will be just leaving SD!

TTYS,
Renée

Well, our vacation begins in less than one week now! We are off to the Baltimore airport next friday at 12:30, right after we take our son to pre-school.

In case anyone here has not found it, you must read the Magical Disney Cruise Guide. It is about 100 pages long. Go to

http://www.allearsnet.com/cruise/mdcg.pdf

Also, here is the most all inclusive packing list I have ever seen. If you take HALF of this stuff, you will be crazy, but it really makes you think about what might be important to you on a cruise.

According to the weather channel, Port Canaveral will have a high of 68 on 2/5. Not pool weather, but not bad coming from single digits here in PA.

I'm hoping the forecast is wrong, being that it's still a week away. Keeping my fingers crossed for 80 degrees. Then again, like you said anything is an improvement over the snowy northland. Just having the week off work will be wonderful!

Scott - are you leaving Baltimore next Friday at 12:30 or arriving in MCO at 12:30? We are leaving Baltimore at 10:00 and arriving at 12:25 in MCO...

I have to agree (being in MD where it is 9 degrees right now), 68 doesn't sound bad - 80's would be better, but I'll take double digits at this point!

Stacy,

We are leaving on a 4:00 US Airways flight through Charlotte, landing at 8:00pm. Its a good 100 minutes without traffic from our house to BWI, so I want to make sure we are not rushed.

Finally!! I'm doing the doc dance!! We leave next Thursday!

Katy

Hi Katy,

I found out about it by reading old Navigators posted on the Web. I also asked in the main area about the tour. People who had not been on the ship liked it, those who had been on the ship before not as much. I would like to do it just to get the ship's layout. (Which I should have by now anyway from memorizing deck plans. ) Are you thinking about doing the tour?

TTYS,
Renée

Hello All,

The Gutierrez family wishes everyone a safe trip down to the Cape.

We leave 8AM in the morning for a week at the World. The timeshare we are staying at has internet access so I'll try to give hands on analysis on the weather as the week progresses.

 

[armyfam]

Safe travels to you as well. See you on the Magic next week!
We leave on Friday. Staying at the Radisson and then going through those ears I've been reading about!

PS. Being a New Englander, I have to admit that I took a double take at your reference to "the Cape"....to us that is only one place...Cape Cod! Just like a reference to "the City" can only be Manhattan!!!

"The City" to us West Coast'ers is San Francisco. Guess it just depends what side of Kansas you live on.

What's up with this 68 degree stuff! If I wanted that kind of weather, I'ld stay home. (OK -- Maybe not right now since it is raining again.) Rather have the rain than the crazy cold and snow our East Coast friends are having.

On an unrelated note... Anybody staying at the MCO Hyatt Friday night? If so, when do you get into town? We arrive shortly after 4PM.

TTYS,
Renée

Being a transplanted New Englander I related to both Renee and Katy. Last winter I was under 4 feet of snow when we booked cruise. I know live inthe High Desert and its 60 degrees at 7am. So made a decision with my DS we are going to have a blast the cooler weather in florida will not stop us.

I am sure my son will be one of the select few that will swim @ the radisson friday night and everyday on ship. I think he would swim ice cubes if DW would let him.

Ok we are off to Baseball practice. Yes eastcoasters Little league has already stated out here.

Hi Renee,

Yes, we are thinking of doing the tour. Do you know where it meets/start off at?

Thanks!

On another note... At this time next week - we have just met! Looking forward to it!

Hi Katy,

That would be cool if we both end up doing the walking tour together. We will just have to let the CM know why we are running away like Cinderella when the clock strikes three so they do not think it is them.

I do not know where we meet yet. I'll check in the main area and get back to you.

Silly me -- why I did not think of this sooner I do not know. Here is my cell number in case anyone wants to try and connect earlier than 3PM: 760.484.7781. My husband's call (Stephen) is 310.925.6954.

This time next week I am in line for dinner!

TTYS,
Renée

I just watched the DCL advertisement DVD. I got all choked up. While viewing the DVD, I checked out our meeting area (Deck 10 - Port side). Not that much longer.

Katy: Someone in the main board said the tour meets on Deck 4. We will know for sure when we get our Navigator for the day.

Are we there yet?

TTYS,
Renée

P.S. Silly question -- I have heard that there are several places to go and sign up for extra Spa stuff. I just go to Vista Spa (once on board) right? Thanks!

Well, except for packing toiletries (last minute), I'm ready! The docs are all filled out and tucked away in my carryon. I do have to go to the bank and get cash, but everything else is done. The mail is going to be held, my cousin is keeping our dog, etc. I can't wait!!!

Denise - You are making me look bad! I still have to go to Costco to pick up the phone cards for the kids club counselors, pack my daughter's stuff (!), iron clothes...aghhh! It seems like this week just creeped up on me! I have an appt after work tomorrow to get my toes done (a gift certificate from DH for Christmas) and Thursday we are getting our taxes done. Maybe I will be packing in the middle of the night? We are very much looking forward to SATURDAY!!!!! See you then!
