You too!!!

And what DH doesn't know, won't hurt him. Some men don't get the FUN of planning. He can't deny his lovely wife FUN can he?

If you want more info without getting a book - Click on this http://allears.net/ then go to
Beyond the parks click on that then find the cruise line part. she has a wealth of info there.

You will appreciate her site. Let me know what you think.

If you can't get the book - they do have a website called http://passporter.com

I looked at the schematic of the ship to see where you are in conjunction with our rooms. I couldn't find a a 6569. I was using a magnifying glass - so maybe I missed it.

 

[trinibjill]

I found it. Your room is right around the corner from Maktrak & me. Yay.

We're in 8548. Not the "happanin'" deck apparently. Don't forget about us up a few decks in your FEs.

On the Fish Extender chart I have the following columns:

Disney Codes (DD, DH, etc)

I've filled in quite a bit on the spreadsheet already. I looked at the post that was successful in getting a picture of the chart up. But it wasn't loading now. Is there anything else anyone would like to see listed? I can re-attach the picture from home to help.

Just let me know your thoughts.

I'm not sure about anything more that needs to be listed but how would you like us to give you information or corrections for your spreadsheet? PMs? Or in this thread? And if in the thread, how do you want us to call attention to them so you see them? THANKS for doing this. If you need help, just say so.

Just a quick update for our cruise that ALL the 1 bedroom suites (cat 3) are sold out.

I just booked all my airfare for our trip!
(yikes was it alot...)
We are flying from Manchester NH to San Diego CA on Nov. 6th. We will spend a few days with our friends then suprise Abby with the trip.
We will fly then from San Diego to Orlando on the 10th, spend a few days unwinding before checking in at the Poly for the start of our land/sea package!
Then the three of us will fly BACK to Manchester NH on the 19th, and Abbys mom will meet us in NH, spend a few days visiting then the two of them will fly back to San Diego.
WOW.... thats a whole lot of flying!

I've never been to California, so I'm excited!

 

[maktrk96]

WoW that is alot of flying. Kinda of wish it was me. I love to fly. I have never been to Ca either, but I have a feeling I will soon. My daughter wants to go visit two Christan Colleges. She is planning on visiting them with Our Pastor and his wife since DH and I can not get all the time off of work, cause of our Disney trip. I hope she like Golden State the best! Only cause if anything would happen the Pastor's parents are there for her, until we can get there. anyway. We got our flights schedule. We leave on the 12th at 8:40 in the morning and arrive around 1pm. yes!! I'm so excited. ok enought now lol.

How is everyone summer going. Mine is going pretty good. Spending alot of time at dr.'s with the kids. I have had one with stiches already and one with a badly sprained ankle that has to be in a fracture boot for two weeks. lol

 

[maktrk96]

What is everyone doing in Nassua?? We have no clue on what to do. The kids wanted to swim with the dolphins, but that was way to expensive when it's 5 of us. So any ideas.

Poor things! None of that here, just one rug burn and the scab is flaking off now.

We're not going ashore at Nassau we think. We're going to save our $ for CC and SHOPPING (both on board and at WDW for the 2 days before the cruise)! Since it's such a short cruise, we don't want to get off the boat until CC.

 

[feenie]

We are looking forward to relaxing on the ship while it is docked in Nassau.
There is so much going on while the ship is AT sea that we never have time to just relax and enjoy except when the ship is in port.
We LOVE getting off at Castaway Cay though, because its really just a sandy extension of the ship!

 

[maktrk96]

Never been to Nassua so I figure we need to get off the ship and do something. Do they stamp your passport of what??

We have never "been" to Nassua either, but then we never got off on the western or the eastern cruises either.
Maybe you could go to Atlantis.... I'm not a gambler so it never appealed to me, but I've read its very nice there.

You can get your passport stamped, but you have to go somewhere to do it, its not something they regularly do.... (I can't remember where, My aunt did it, I will try and remember to ask her next time I talk to her)

 

[maktrk96]

Ok I have figured out a few things to do..
1) Sunshine Glass Bottom Boat Tour.( we love boats and fishing so the kids may like this)
2) Discover atlantis
3)Blue Lagoon Island Beach Day
4) Catamaran Sail & Reef Snorkeling (only problem is my mom wont get in the water lol)

It's hard to plan something everyone will like to do. I just know my parents will be with there grandkids for the most part. lol My parents love watch the kids faces at things. YIPPEEE down to 126 days. It will be here before we know it. I think the summer is flying by.

Questions about the FE gifts. What are some things you all have done in the past. This is all new to me and I have no clue on what to put in them.
