November 2 on the 4 day Wonder!

[TJHutch]

Chelley00...Have a safe trip to the world...We are going to try and be at Grills when the Magic floats out on Saturday...:yay: :yay:

[GWNnewbies]

Chelley, have a fantastic vacation and thanks for keeping track of all our FE stuff and all that for us.

[domiii]

Have a Magical trip!!! Thanks for all your help. May our paths cross again sometime.

[GWNnewbies]

Ok, I'm super-excited now! I am in single digits as of today!:yay: Lisa, I'm sorry, this is kind of mean but looking at your list makes me feel better about what I still have left to do cause it is nothing compared to yours!:rotfl: Seriously though I hope things are coming along well for you and running fairly smoothly.

LOL Geee Thanks.... :rotfl: :lmao: Things are coming along and I think I will be good. I made all of my appointments for next week, eyebrows, hair, Toes, nails, you know all the really important things. :goodvibes

[luvalldisney]

Thanks for keeping track of the FE and have a great time at the world!!:banana:
I have a conference in Orlando starting on Thursday and will be going to EPCOT food and wine festival Sat night with my sil she is in a wheel chair with oxygen and does not get a chance to go to see the mouse as much as she would like. (we would both live there if we could) Will also be going to the food and wine with my daughter on Sunday before I head home. (Need a Bailey's drink...mmmm baileys, coffee ice cream....heaven! and need to walk off the alcohol before I head home)
Beside finishing my FE gifts, I have grades to finish (quarter ends this Thursday and I have to be at the conference at 8am the trip is 3.5 hours from home. Lets see, if I stay up all night to finish grades and get on the road at 4am I should make it!) Then next week I need to finish my door magnets, my packing and getting lesson plans done for the following week! I also have to find time to vote in there too....Wow, a lot to do but not as much as our wedding princess!!!:rotfl:
Any way, for those that are heading to Orlando early have a great and safe trip, for those of you still packing and buried in stuff to do, it will get done and if it does not oh well. You could always buy stuff at the ports and on board!!!
We will see everyone in less than 2 weeks!!!:scared1: oh my gosh so much to do and so little time. Tink where are you pixiedust: with your pixie dust to help me!

[GWNnewbies]

Lisa, I'm glad to see you have your priorities straight. After all it IS all about the bride, right?:bride:

[Goldeelox9]

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[domiii]

Holy S. I am starting to freak. I have a huge project due at work. I have laundry from here to the moon to do. I have to pack. AND we are busy all weekend with the show. :scared1:

I so need to leave reality for 12 days!!!!!

Soon, my friends, soon!! :grouphug:

[domiii]

We just got our tee shirts. Dom has seen them but I haven't yet!!!

Yeah, yeah.

[GWNnewbies]

we are leaving for WDW in one week! I am beyond excited!!! - Becky

[domiii]

Tip of the Day ...

Bring zip ties to keep your FE from FE nappers!!! These will help anchor the FE to the fish so it doesn't 'swim' away.

[mickeyniki_d]

I am going on the Nov 2nt Cruise, and I am clueless what to expect. I have been trying to get as much info as I can, but does anyone have any helpful info they might want to pass my way.. I am going with my hubby and twin girls, that are 8 months old.. (am I crazy) I am a little overwhelmed with the thought of traveling with infants.. anyone got any ideas to make it sooth… and what is good to do with infants on the ship.. seems like mostly older kid stuff..

[domiii]

:welcome: mickeyniki_d.

I cannot help you as DD was 14 when we first cruised. I am sure there are plenty of Diser's on the cruise forum with experience.

[domiii]

Tip of the day ....

Bring a night light for the bathroom, especially if you are in an inside stateroom. That light can be really bright at 3am!!

[GTO-Girl]

Here's something that might be fun (don't know for sure as I have never done it)......we are driving down on Saturday and plan on arriving in time to go over to Jetty Park to watch the Glory and the Magic leave port.

One of the local posters told me it's the best place to watch the ships leave. He also said the dolphins are usually leading the ship out to sea and that he has never failed to see a manatee hanging around the pier when he was there.

Jetty Park has a great website if anyone is interested.....

Happy Sailing Everyone!!!

[ohanaMAMA]

oooo DH and I will be in town on Saturday.. THAT sounds like a romantic thing to do... hmmm I better add that to the list! Ive never seen a dolphin in the wild.

[TJHutch]

This is also a good location to watch as the cruise ships go by.....we will be eating and watching as the cruise ships go by.....cannot wait... http://www.grillsseafood.com/grills-seafood-location.php

[TJHutch]

Sorting out some last minute details before heading out of town for the week...I will not have any access to a computer :sad2: and will have to rely on dh to keep me posted on goings on and any updates...Are we still meeting in the suite on sea day at 2:00? I feel like I have overpacked and at the same time feel like I am forgetting something...:laughing:

[domiii]

TJ Yes we are .. 8078. See you then! Enjoy your trip.

Tip of the day ....

Full a cup 3/4 full with your favorite soda on Deck 9 and walk over the Scoops and fill it with you favorite ice cream and, voila, instant ice cream soda!!

These tips are so good! Is there any place where they are all in one spot?

[heyshanny]

Are there no more brave souls out there who are going to follow Lisa's great suggestion and post pics of themselves?

I'll cowboy up! This is Jon and I. But my hair may look different next week. I'm trying a new hair girl this week. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2075/2265783049_b1cc580740.jpg

[domiii]

heyshanny, Check the sticky section of the forum. I just have committed many to memory and experience. I am TRYING to get Dominick to post a picture of us!!! You can see it isn't working!!

[luvalldisney]

Not packed yet, but the FE's are almost finished! (along with the FE gifts..) That is a high priority for me. :rotfl2: Grades are finished and now I need to scrounge around for some lesson plans for next week. It is so close...I can't wait and I have done this numerous times before!!! Each time I get more excited!:banana: This time next week we will be in Nassau or just getting ther and day 2 will have started! Anyway, hope ya'll have a safe trip down here and we will see everyone at the sail away party. My group will be on deck 10......:cool1:

[domiii]

Heyshanny - how rude of me to say yeah there's a thread go find it yourself!!! I lay awake all night thinking why the H didn't I post the thread link, very unDISlike!!! So here it is.....

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?threadid=468132

Yup, today we'll be in port at Nassau - we are staying on board and taking in parts of the ship we haven't experienced much before, Quite Cove, the movie theater, walk deck 4, lounge around and relax after 8 straight weekends of a production. Yeah, we're all done with theater (for now :rotfl: ).

We will most likely be on deck 10 as well for sail away.

[GTO-Girl]

The Georgia vs Florida game is being played in Jacksonville at 3:30 on Saturday. It is a HUGE game so there is a great possibility the traffice will be awful.

We have decided to go through Orlando instead......just wanted to give everyone the info....

GO DAWGS!!!!

Dianne

[domiii]

Thanks for the heads up. We are flying down Saturday, but I think a few others on our thread are driving!

[domiii]

It is snowing in NJ right now. :scared1: If this isn't a sign I need vacation some place warm!!!

[stitchlovestink]

Hey Guys,
Haven't been on the thread in FOREVER!! ;)
Is there any plans in the works for a meet? I am no where near ready to go and we leave Friday morning 5am. We are going to MNSSHP on Fri night and I have been working on our costumes. :eek: They're almost done. I just don't have time to look thru the whole thread to see if there is a meet.
Anyone? And if so, it is still open to those of us who may not have RSVPed in time? :rolleyes1
see you guys on Sunday. :cool1:
but I'll check the boards at least once tomorrow and once on Thursday. :yay:

[cruicer]

Ok gang...sorry I didn't fall onto this forum eariler, but hey better late than never.

My wife (Teresa) and I (Dan) are taking out two kids on our first Disney Cruise...Rebecca - 10 and Ryan - 8. We can't wait...I already apologized to my wife telling her that if I embarrass her I apologize beforehand because as soon as my foot leaves the dock, my adulthood stays there too! Give you guys an idea of our past Disney ventures...my wife and I have been married for 13 years. And have gone to Disney World almost every year since we have been married. Rebecca as been there 8 1/2 (1/2 being we found out my wife was pregnant on the trip..:cool1:) times and my son 7. We wanted to do something different this year...so here we are. Our stateroom is 6506...

We are flying out on Friday from Cold Philly, staying in All Stars Movie Friday night...going to the Magic Kingdom on Saturday, then to the ship on Sunday. And I do believe I am more excited about going than my kids are...(At least that is what my wife tells me)...I can't wait...whoo-hoooo....

Here is to a good time!!!!

[domiii]

Yes, we have scheduled a "Meet in the Suite" (or Sweet) at 2pm on the day at sea. I just need a show of hands who we might be expecting. Now I have no clue how big, compared to the regular staterooms, our cat 3 is, so we may be hanging out in the bedroom, deck and living room, but hey we'll all be together!!!

I am ordering a cheese platter and will have wine. We are in 8078.

Welcome cruicer.

How sad is it that one whole suitcase is just our Pirate clothes??? :lmao: You know how us theater people are and if not you'll find out!!!

[Cindywith2boys]

I am sooo excited! We leave early tomorrow morning for the Poly! :cool1: Probably won't have time to check the boards again before we go, so everyone have a safe trip!

Can't wait for the "Meet in the Sweet"!
Cindy

[luvalldisney]

I know I will try to meet in the suite, but not sure about the rest of my crew. There are a total of 6 of us as my dd friends are also on board. :banana: Getting very excited!!! Yes, I too become a kid again on the cruise, and can't wait. I'm in FL and it is cold here too....high was 68 yesterday but no snow.......Everyone have a safe trip and see you at the sail away party on deck 10!!!:banana: You will know the 4 of us because we will be in our hidden mickey brown and black hawaiian sport shirts!!!
:cool1:

[ohanaMAMA]

ooo its down to the wire here too! We are so excited. We leave friday mornng as soon as I finish a shift at work (10 am) Were spending saturday at Merritt Island and exploring the space coast a little. Likely just happy to be on vacation together!:love: Looking forward to seeing everyone on board!

[ohanaMAMA]

[GWNnewbies]

Hey Karen, the three of us will be there with bells on (or at least our "Meet in the Sweet" shirts). We are really looking forward to meeting everyone. Thanks again for volunteering to host this gathering.
We leave early tomorrow as well and will be glad to get away from the snow we had this morning. Hope everyone has a safe journey and we can't wait to see you all onboard!:yay:

[TJHutch]

we'll be there (3)....everyone have a safe trip

[Goldeelox9]

Oh what time is the Meet in the Sweet? I forgot!

[Goldeelox9]

Duh 2pm...I found it! LOL

Thank you for the heads up! Our original plan was to drive right through Jax so now I'll be looking at the atlas. While I finish up mountains of laundry that is! :laundy:
Thank you all for all of your info and help! Can't wait to see y'all on the ship!:goodvibes

[domiii]

OMG OMG OMG

We leave on Saturday for POP Century. We have been planning this trip FOR EVER!! I cannot wait to meet everyone. Safe trip to everyone. See you on the Wonder!

I am planning on attending or at least stoping in to say 'Hi'. I know what you mean about the suitcase though. We aren't 'doing' pirate night because we have one whole suitcase dedicated to our costumes for MNSSHP on the 31st. :cool1: I just couldn't get both in on the same trip.
see you at the meet
Lynn

[Goldeelox9]

We will be at the POp on Saturday too Karen so say hi if you see a massive group of people led by a girl with curly blond hair and Minnie Bride Ears!!!

[Chelley00]

I hope you all had a FABULOUS time!!!

I waved to you from Cocoa Beach, and have some pictures of you as you sailed off into the clouds and rain :lmao: We just got back late last night, so as soon as I get the pictures off my camera, I'll post some pictures of the Wonder on Sunday.

[GWNnewbies]

WOW. Just got home. What a wonderful time that was. It was wonderful meeting some of you at the Meet in the Sweet. Thanks again Karen, Dom, Kayla and Harriet for hosting! Thanks to everyone for the FE gifts. We got some wonderful surprises! The girls and I were so excited to come back to our stateroom and find little gifts waiting for us.
Chelley, I hope you had a great vacation and I'm sorry we weren't able to meet this time, but hopefully we will cross paths somewhere down the road.
Hope everyone else had as much fun as we did and that the ones who stayed on at WDW are having a great time there as well.

[domiii]

We had a blast!!! Are we the only ones that feel the motion of the seas still? Kayla and I are stil going from side to side!!

We thank you all for the great FE gifts. AND thank you for joining us in the suite for our party. It was so great to meet you all!!

[Chelley00]

They are not great since it was raining, but here you are from beside the Cocoa Beach Pier!

[heyshanny]

Chelley,
Those pics are great! We had a wonderful time! I loved all the FE goodies! (mine felt so lame though after seeing all the thoughtful presents!).
I took pics of everyone's doors while delivering my FE goodies so I'll be sure to post them.

Lisa's wedding (goldeelox9) was gorgeous! It was so fun and she was a beautiful bride! They are currently enjoying their Disneymoon!

My DH and I are already missing the cruise and dreaming of the next one!

[luvalldisney]

We had such a great time, and all of the FE gifts were teriffic!! We had so much fun checking out our FE each day to see what "Tinkerbell" had delivered. I also enjoyed meeting everyone in the suite and it was an awesome room. Thanks for sharing. I kept asking the family to tell the captain to cut out the rocking on Sat and Sunday. I think I finally have my land legs back:banana:
This was one of the best cruises I have had and thanks for the pictures of the ship as she was leaving port, they will go in my scrapbook as a fond rememberance of a WONDERful cruise!:cool1:
Thanks everyone and I hope you had an awesome time at DW if you went there after the cruise and if not, you are still enjoying some of the laid back feeling from castaway cay....:hippie:

[Cindywith2boys]

Wow! What a WONDERful cruise! The FE was so much fun! We had as much fun delivering as we did checking for the gifts! :goodvibes

We really miss the weather - It's cold and dare is say the "S" word?!

Thanks again for all the fun - we wish you all the best! :love:

C

[TJHutch]

Thank you all for the FE gifts...It was fun delivering the gifts and coming back to our room to see if we had any surprises. It was nice meeting all of you in the sweet...that sweet by the way was awesome...thank you for sharing it with us. We had such a wonderful time we did not want to get off the ship and only a diser would understand...

Here is a sneak peak! I will post all the pictures and full trip reports soon. I got some bad news when my sister picked me up from the airport tonight. My Grandfather is have quad. bypass surgery tommorrow morning. Please keep him in your prayers! I was at the hospital all night and I am heading back in the am.

The wedding and honeymoon were awesome, it was all so great!

Thank you all for the great FE gifts. I promise to post more pictures soon!

[GWNnewbies]

Lisa, the picture is SO beautiful. We will definitely be keeping your grandfather in our prayers.

[GWNnewbies]

Hey everyone! I miss checking the board and seeing everyone's comments here. It's a sad reminder that that wonderful cruise is now behind us. Just wanted to ask anyone who might still be checking in here if they had sent postcards from Castaway Cay and if they did if any of them have been received yet. No-one that we sent to has gotten theirs yet at 3 weeks now. I know it will take a little longer to get up here but this seems a little long to me.

[TJHutch]

We received ours yesterday...

[domiii]

Lisa how gorgeous!!! Let us know when you post them all!!!!

[GWNnewbies]

YAY!!! Postcards finally came today!
