05/09/2009 May 9, 2009 7-Night Eastern St Maarten... Watch Out!

[Eeyore77]

I'm guilty of buying a few new things as well. I really need to get a few new pairs of shorts. Living in FL you wear shorts out really fast! I am just glad that my grandmother finally has her flights both ways booked. That is such a weight off my shoulders. Now we just have to survive the next few weeks! How will we ever make it? LOL

I am also waiting "patiently" to find out cabin assignment. I have been checking now two to three times a day.

I booked a three night cruise on the Wonder for early December. I have always wanted to take my two grown and married "princessess" on a Disney cruise and it looks like it might really happen.

OK - so now I get to buy stuff for their cruise while I am on "our" cruise in May.

Alright, as soon as anyone finds out their cabin number, post it please.

I am freaking out because I am currently looking out the window at snow flakes. I mean come on Mother Nature it is April already!!


Lets just all keep our fingers crossed for beautiful weather for our big vacations and warm water at Castaway Cay to finish off the cruise!

How will life be once our wonderful cruise is over?? Seems like we will all need some counseling to come down off our vacation-high!

I am fully considering booking onboard again for a future cruise date so we can have another DCL date down the road to look forward to. I think our next cruise will just be DW and myself again... dont tell my kids!

That's funny that you are getting snow, and us up here on the East Coast are enjoying some warmer temps! Hubby actually took his snowplow off for the season! We have alot rain forcast for the next little while, but temps over 5C (which right about now is warm for us!).

Took out the summer clothes today to see if the kiddies need any new clothing to go away with. So far, only sandals.

Anyone know when too expect the cruise docs?

Where do you live?

 

[DisneyMommy1022]

I live in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Its funny really on Sat. DH and I cleaned the yard, put up the trampoline and all of the out door furniture and had a BBQ. Last night the news comes on and says snow!!! I woke up today and sure enough 6 inches over night. MAN I NEED THIS VACATION!!!!!

I think we always recvd our docs somewhere between 10 to 21 days before sailing.

Since its our first cruise...what exactly is included in the documents?

You know for the life of me I cant really remember everything that is in there. We do online checkin so the only thing I think we need out of the pack is the trusty luggage tags. If you have bought DCL transfers then the tickets should be in there too.

We are getting some of your snow, heavy "sugar snow", that is what we call the wet, heavy big snow flakes that come during sugaring season (maple syrup for the uninitiated). We leave for WDW in 25 days and can't wait for some warm weather. Getting our FE gifts together to ship down before we leave.

Is the list on the first page up-to-date for the FE exchange?

My DH, Cal, was in VA today and there was snow. On the news this morning they were showing snow in the mountains of NC. Charlotte is just cold, no snow.

It is hard to believe that it is only a little over a month away for our trip. I have been working on my FE gifts and realize I do not have a Fish Extender to have gifts put into. I don't know what to use - I certainly do not have the time or talent to whip up one of those cute ones I see on the boards and don't want to spend $30 on Ebay. Any suggestions?

We bought a mickey one for around $10 on eBay with shipping... isnt as fancy as those higher priced ones on eBay but for the price we are more then fine with it. The FE had to ship from China so it took 2 or 3 weeks to get it. If you want me to find the seller for you let me know.

I peeked at the forecast for Orlando, Port Canaveral and St Maarten and let me tell you it is looking much better then a lot of us are not enjoying so much right now. Checking future forecasts and prior years info we can keep fingers crossed for temps in the 80's-low 90's! Now no one hold me to that please!

The list on the first page is just to track those cruising, so it has more names on it then are in the FE group.
The link towards the top of the first page that goes to our awesome 5/9 cruise site does have a map of the ship with FE rooms highlighted and the group list on the first page also highlights FE participants. I am pretty sure it is up to date but haven’t checked lately.
There is also a official FE list on page 74 (I am pretty sure that’s the right page) of this thread. I think there are just one or two groups on the list we are waiting on room numbers from Disney to wrap it on up.

Ok so I just happened to me looking at the May 2nd cruise group and this is what I came accrss...

PS: Here's the score:

MAGICal MAYflowers (May 9th Eastern): 89 pages
MAGICal MAYniacs (that's us, LOL): 100 pages!!!

Ok, so the MAGICal MAYflowers have an extra week, but they have a lot more people in their group.


So I think this is game on!!! As of right now we are at 90 pages so we need to post post post!!!!
