He just found out about the FE's and thought I was CRAZY buying gifts for people I don't know. It was kind of hard to explain that I have been talking to some of you for 6 months!

Well we feel like we know you as well. And we look forward to finally getting to put faces with all the screen names...

3 Weeks 2 Days Left.... Time to relax.


IS our meet up at 3 going to affect us getting a good spot for the castaway party? I hope not I really have been working on my YMCA moves... I am even bringing my own own hard hat.

You will have the lifeboat drill in between the Meet and the Sailaway! You will be fine!

Our cruise docs came tonight! YAY!!!

Love the picture!!
Just getting me MORE excited

Thank you

 

[disney minnie]

Anyone have the Blackberry Storm? They just came out with the park apps. Geoffrey just downloaded them to my phone. I'm sooo excited!!!

 

[mcarr1635]

I'm in the Charlotte are too. I will look when I am out and about for the shirt. If I get it, I will post. My HUGE NC State Fan cousins will be so proud! LOL

Hi Karyn,
for your offer.
But Brian is a UNC Tarheels fan. That is the University of North Carolina.
I thought that NC State is another college??

23 days and a wake up until we board the boat. We are all so excited. This will be our 3rd Disney cruise, but first 7 night. We are taking the kids out of school for 4 days and I hope that does not cause an issue with her new middle school teachers. I figure they are my kids...
See you all soon!

On our first cruise I did the galley tour and I asked what the most popular food item is on the cruise fully expecting them to say the lobster tails or something, they said the chicken fingers!! It was some really ridiculous amount they go through every week. And to think, I never tried them once! I definitely will this time around though. Especially now that my lovely dd could probably live off of chicken nuggets.

Yes, you must try and I cannot believe you have never tried. You are definitely missing out - chicken fingers, 9th deck, magazines, that will be me! Oops - ice tea too! No docs today, but that is okay, another day to wait with suspense. Thanks for the FE List. I did receive it.

 

[aussieinvasion]

Yay we just received our documents!! Someone asked about luggage tags ( I think it was you, Missy) - we got 4 per passenger. Happy days......

Elizabeth, I have closed the FE list on the first page. Sorry I was a bit slow, with the time difference and all

 

[disney minnie]

Mel - Thanks for all of your help and congrats on getting your docs. I know that is a big relief since you are so close to leaving.

 

[aussieinvasion]

Hey Elizabeth,

No worries, I am just sorry for the delays. Whenever I wake up and log on there are 2 or 3 new pages worth of posts Yes, very big relief about getting the docs, that's why I was anxious to hear what was in it. Our DU agent told us we wouldn't be posted out any information - I guess she was wrong, and glad she was because I have read you need to have your luggage tags on the bags when you pull up at port for the porters to collect prior to check in. That was lucky

Did anyone see the post about how the check UPS tracking for your cruise docs? I followed the directions and found out that ours are "out for delivery" TODAY!

You go to www.ups.com and select to track a package. In the shipping reference # put your cruise confirmation number. Select your country (United States) and put either your zip code or your TA's zip code, if your TA has docs shipped to them first. My TA has the docs shipped directly, so I put in my zip.

 

[disney minnie]

I just tried this and no luck for me. I don't know how the TA has them shipped, so I sent her an email. - I don't have her zip code.

 

[TLHB70]

I just sent our TA another email to see if our documents are in yet. I am starting to get concerned. We are cruising with another family. They live in Oklahoma. Since I booked the reservations for everyone, their documents will come to our TA as well. I still have to get them from the TA and mail them to OK!

Thanks, Mel. It was me who asked that question. You and ibela have been so wonderful in answering my questions! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Thank you VERY much for posting this info. I just tried it, and it says ours are actually on the truck for delivery right now. So that means ours should be there when we get home. Yahoooooo! It's almost time to do the doc dance!

Is your family dressing up for the party? We are going as an injured construction worker, my DW will be my nurse and DD will be my doctor...

We probably won't one reason being more stuff to pack. Second reason I work for a Haunted Attraction in Mass called Barrett's Haunted Mansion. I dress up there most of the month. I have a vampire character would love to dress as but make-up is all airbrushed. I might still wear my vampire teeth lol. I plan on wearing my places t-shirt so just keep an eye out for a black and red Barrett's Haunted Mansion shirt demon face on the back in red. Can check the mansion out at bhmansion.com we have a really cool website with loads of pics. We are about to enter our 18th season. I have never seen the party before and can't wait. I have been to Christmas and Pirate and Princess before and have always enjoyed them.

We just got a studio since it is just for the night after the MNSSHP. I am seriously going to be tired the first day on board.

Michael

What view? I actually initially wanted a studio too (with lake view) to save on some points because we'll only be there for 2 nights (and AKL for 2 nights, booked 'late' at 4 months out so there was limited availability), at first nothing was available and then before we got off the phone (I was going to 'settle' on a 1br at VWL for the whole 4 nights) I asked if she could check one more time and voila, an opening for a 1br at BLT opened up with MK view so I jumped on it!

We thought about going the day before and going to MNSSHP but thought it'd be too exhausting, maybe next year when the kids are a year older!

Don't tell my husband about the $4.89 deal - I cancelled so we could just stay at Disney. He doesn't have to know everything! By the way, He just found out about the FE's and thought I was CRAZY buying gifts for people I don't know. It was kind of hard to explain that I have been talking to some of you for 6 months!

I wouldn't have passed it up, mums the word! Are you still parking at the port then? Where are you staying now?

Wanted to add, my husband thinks I'm crazy too! Especially when he saw the big box of stuff I ordered. My only problem is getting all that stuff to port now, the weight on the box says 15lb!! Fortunately we're flying Southwest and we're allowed 2 free luggages per person and Fallon certainly won't need to much and actually my fil isn't planning on bringing much either so I figured we'd have plenty of room.

Yay we just received our documents!! Someone asked about luggage tags ( I think it was you, Missy) - we got 4 per passenger. Happy days......

You received yours in Australia before I received mine?! Good thing I did my online bookings already so I know we really are going on the cruise. I'm sure they'll come any day now.

Thanks! I just checked and mine were shipped yesterday and should be arriving on Monday!

 

[Hoagie Pie]

I just did the UPS tracking thing and no such luck for me. I guess I will have to wait till next week. Thanks for the info though! Hope everyone has a great weekend and I cannot believe 22 days left! Loved the countdown!
