[MAGICFOR2]

Hey folks....sorry I've been MIA for a while....so crazy busy here and tons going on professionally (work is crazy crazy crazy here) and personally (our new puppy was born 1 week ago today----newborn yorkie puppy although we don't get him until late May....plus two friends acquaintances passed away in the past month! )

Congrats on your new puppy. Looks unlike us you won't be leaving the new family member behind when you go on the cruise since you don't get him until late May.

Happy St Pat's to everyone!!

As most of you know I am on a B2B2B and this cruise is the middle one. On the first one's thread some folks have asked for a copy of my packing list...so I thought I would make it available to anyone who wants it from this thread a well. PM me your email address, it is in excel 2007 version. And will show you just how bad my OCD can be!!!


I agree about the posting of the FE list in one place. Maybe a link to an online doc on the first page? (like google docs or the ilk?). Like Erik, I would like to ensure I have enough of my item for everyone!

You made me laugh about the OCD I have been fretting for weeks about shampoo bottles (of all things!) I am not vain and really don't bring much in the way of non-essential beauty products while on vacation. The exception is my hair -my naturally curly hair that requires shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner and mousse daily without fail. And I definitely can't use hotel shampoo/conditioner, that is just asking for trouble in the form of a frizz-fest.

So we are doing 5 days at DL and 6 days on the cruise. I have to fly down to LA and have set a one bag each limit. So the travel bottles of hair products I have were just not big enough. But I didn't want to bring the full size bottles. Weeks (weeks I tell you!) of fretting and trying out different scenarios and I still didn't have a perfect solution.

Went to the dollar store today and found just the right size of travel bottles. Whew! Crisis averted. Being compulsive is such hard work sometimes.

I think I have sent pm's to everyone I need to. We will be on the B2B cruises and want to be part of the FE's and lanyards. It is just DH(Matt) and I (Jill). This will be my 5th and 6th cruise and DH's 3rd and 4th. We are very excited and I can't wait to leave. We will be flying in early on the 25th and spending 2 days at Disneyland before the cruise.

Welcome,
I did not get a PM with your stateroom number for the FE exchange. (Or I missed it.) Please PM that to me for the list.
Thanks!!!

Anyhow....fish extender question....if I count correctly, there are 56 cabins (not including myself) on the list currently. Do we have a hard cut off date of when no more cabins will be added? or has it already passed? With just a little over a month before the trip, it's really time to knuckle down and figure out what we're going to get for fish extenders...but before we do, we want to make sure we have a reasonably accurate count so we can get the right amount of stuff.

First, congrats on the new puppy!
Second, the FE Repo roster is currently at 59 staterooms. I'd like the hard cut off to be this Sunday the 20th. Does that work for everybody? That is a convenient day for me to finalize it, and will hopefully give people enough time to get things ready.
Thanks!

Works for me!

The 20th sounds good for the cut off date. That will be just over 30 days from the cruise.

 

[zakerdog]

The 20th of March sounds good for the FE cut off date. Then we will know the exact number and be able to get everything prepared. Thanks

IKWYM about products. Luckily, I can get sample sizes of most of my things, since I sell them. We use natural products, because we are so sensitive. I do approve of the DCL products, though - they use H2O, last I heard, which are also quite natural and pretty nice. I think I'm going to cut back a little on some of our stuff because of that.

Hi everyone!
I just booked this repo cruise and can't wait! It's quite a busy thread here, so I catching up is improbable. All I know is I'll be passing on FE and the lanyard. I'll be cruising solo so look out, Wavebands!

The trip is getting close. Still lots to do to get ready. It really feels like the trip was so far away for the longest time and now its just around the corner. Part of me wants it to hurry up and get here and part of me wonders if I'll actually manage to get ready

 

[Disney Pita]

I am still trying to post 10 times in order to send PM to bonzie1 to be included on roster. Getting the hang of it. Won't be long now.

I'm with you on that - so much to do so little time to do it!

Just keep posting and you'll get there! Welcome to Disboards and welcome to the cruise! It's a blast sailing with other Disboarders folks--make the cruise a little more exciting and what not.

To help take care of all of those posts feel free to tell us about yourself, your family, your cruise plans, etc!

I know the feeling! I'm going to try and get the last of my shopping done this weekend (heading to SuperWalmart) - I was able to get some done last weekend when we had an impromptu trip to Seattle and I just happened to end up at Target. I'm about halfway done the list so I'm thinking I should be able to get the rest done this weekend. And yes, I realize I've got more than a month to get everything ready... but my OCD means I need to get it done NOW.

As a side note, I'm having a hard time trying to find those over the door clear shoe organizers that people use for toiletries and such. I found one at Bed, Bath and Beyond, but it's $25! The regular Walmart by us didn't have any clear (just canvas) and I forgot to look at Target when we were in Seattle . Any Canadians have luck at Super Walmart or Superstore? Those are the two places I'm going to try this weekend... For the Americans who have the organizers, where did you get them? (I have half a day to shop in SoCal)
