05/24-05/31/14 - The Disney Fantasy, (Bob) Marley and Me on The FANTASTICAL VOYAGE!

[DizDaddy]

Thanks DizDaddy! btw, do you know how I can post a pic of the fam on my roll call? When I tried it said I needed 10 posts to post pics. Well... I am getting closer to 10 with these posts.

Hopefully, I got your picture added to the role call already; I'm doing batch updates, so it won't be seen immediately, but within the next 30 mins or so. Let me know if there are any issues! Thanks, Tony

 

[DizDaddy]

Well, I think I've got all of the updates in, and those of you that have been part of this thread for quite a while will hear my sphiel again....

...please take a look at page 1 and let me know if your information in any way needs to be updated. This is more and more important as we move towards closing the FE lists and assignments.

Much thanks, and happy Monday!

My silly job still hasn't approved my PTO! Ahhhhhhh!

My silly job still hasn't approved my PTO! Ahhhhhhh!

My silly job *APPROVED* my PTO! During our annual AUDIT! That I'm responsible for!!

Actually, they've approved it before. I think they trust that I will have all of the pieces moving, the project plan and assignments all worked out, to easily hand over in an interim capacity while I'm gone. Last cruise (in 2012), I came home and received a financial bonus for a well-conducted audit, so now I have a bar that I need to maintain.

We are looking at shifting the time in which we conduct the annual audit so it doesn't coincide with high vacation patterns, so HOPEFULLY this will be the final year where we audit a new large release in May/June and publish on July 1st.

My mom had that problem last year. I can't remember how many times she had to put in her request before they finally answered her to give her the time off.

I just received confirmation from shore side Guest Services that our Meet & Greet will be in the D-Lounge from 2:30pm to 3:30pm.

Our group of 4 plus a few other DIS friends are headed to Nachi Cocum . I have not been there, but a friend of mine has been there twice while on another cruise line. She RAVED about it, so I thought that it sounded like a great day .

We are a few of dznyacct's DIS friends that are heading to Nachi Cocum. From the photos it looks amazing. I am glad there is a pool there as well because you never know what mood my 3 year old may be in. She is convinced a yucky fish is going to touch her, but I told her the fish are like the ones in Finding Nemo (a.k.a. pretty fish) and she asked if Dory and Nemo's dad would be there, that she likes them. Lol, I think we are going to be ok!

It seems that those residing in Missouri are looking for a way out, even for a respite!! This weather stinks!!!

That's us as well!!!

We are looking forward to it! Thanks John!!

71 days till our cruise and still no assigned stateroom. Getting impatient...

Don't worry, me either. On my last DCL cruise I was also GTY and I got my room assignment around the 50 day mark, but of course there is no guarantee it will be that way this time! Waiting patiently with you...

I'm in the same boat (no pun intended) --- checking daily, but not expecting anything for a little while yet.

Anyone else watch the Fantasy sail away today? My DD and I did. Only 9 more until it's our turn!!!!

MIXOLOGY UPDATE

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am waiting to hear back from Disney what day/times they can schedule us. Please remember our times are recommended times, they will let us know when they can accommodate us. I've been in contact with the rep once a week but it seems like she only responds to me once a week, so it's been slow. Normally they don't want our info until 30 days in advance but it appears she will take it early for us. Plus I need to send the rep everyone's info so if you haven't given me all your info send me a PM.

Once everything is set in stone with Disney, the schedule and sign up list will be on our main spreadsheet.

Thanks for the update! Are you taking any more sign ups, or is this "closed" now? Someone else on FB is asking.

I can take their info and see where I can place them. Once I hear back from Disney on how they can accommodate us, it will be a little easier to see if we can add anymore.

Howdy! Got you guys on the spreadsheet. It's going to be a great cruise!

Since you're new to FE Exchanges, take a look at the links on the third tab of the spreadsheet linked in my signature below. Lots of helpful information (as well as general Disney cruise info)
