Hi! Do we have access to the FE Master List? I'm just trying to monitor how many folks/staterooms we have on the list.

Happy Monday everyone!

Yes the Master List is on Page 4 Post #53 on this thread. Just go back a few pages and you should see it. Hope that helps. It is current as of today.

Let me know if you need anything else.

So I found out today that my DH will not be able to have the extra day or days off. So the dates I have to work with are late Monday, Nov. 21 thru Sunday, Nov. 27.

Here is what I am sleeping on tonight:

Book a flight for Monday night - DH says it will have to be the 8:45 pm flight because he will have to work all day Monday and he doesn't get home until 5. We will have to leave right when he gets home.

Go from the Airport to CBR - I'm going to keep the Pirate Room for sure. Check-in to the room and get some sleep.

Tuesday Morning we already have a ADR for Ohana at 8:55 am. I'm going to keep this so my DS will at least see his two favorite characters (Stitch and Pluto).

After breakfast we will use our 1 day park tickets that we already have to spend the rest of the day at Epcot doing World Showcase. This is my DH and DS's favorite park and they love World Showcase. We can stay until the park closes and see Illuminations. I have an ADR at Teppen Edo (DH and DS favorite place to eat) at 4:00 for an early dinner.

Then we will head back to the CBR for a good night sleep.

Wednesday morning we will have breakfast at CBR Food Court - check-out and take the Disney Transportation to Port Canaveral to board the Disney Dream.

Then we will spend the rest of the week on the Disney Dream.

What do you think? I'll take any opinions I can get or suggestions about these new plans.

I will have to cancel all the other ADR's, Pirate Make Over, Pirate League Cruise, and we will not have time to do the other parks. However, DH did say that we can go back next year for Thanksgiving and take our new camper. He said we can plan better so that we can do the MVMCP and spend all the time we want at the parks. He also said that if I can't wait until Thanksgiving next year there is always Spring Break.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I updated the FE list today. We have 6 Cabins currently and it looks like 4 cabins still thinking about it. I hope everyone will join.

I also wanted to see what everyone was thinking about the FE. This is my first cruise and I really wanted to do the FE so I started the list. Since I have never done this and we are a small group I'm hoping we can work together.

If I close the list on October 31, 2011 will that give everyone enough time to complete their FE Gifts?

I'm going to check around and see what other cruises have done. I'm also open to suggestions from you guys since this is your FE.

Thanks everyone,

Allison

Hi Everyone,

I was just looking at the FE list and noticed there are not any boys listed. I know that not everyone is signed up or will sign up but are there any other families that have young boys going on this cruise. My DS7 is an only child and I was just wondering if there might be anyone on here with someone he might be able to play with.

Thanks,
Allison

Does anyone know what order our dinning will be based on our schedule?

Port Canaveral
Nassau
At Sea
Castaway Cay
Port Canaveral

For example:
Casual
Semi Formal
Casual
Pirate Night

or maybe it will be
Casual
Pirate Night
Casual
Semi Formal

If anyone knows what the real schedule will be I would greatly appreciate it. I'm trying to decide what day we want to book a Spa Treatment.

Thanks,
Allison

One more question I'm hoping someone knows the answer too. Can you bring an expandable outlet for your stateroom or are there enough plugs for everyone. We will have two cell phones, 2 iPads and 1 DSi.

Thanks
Allison

Hello Everyone!

Just joining this thread (1st time poster!) and am excited to say that we'll be cruising over Turkey Day with all of you. DH, DS (5yrs), my Dad, bro, SIL, and nieces (19yrs, 5yrs, 2yrs) are SO looking forward to our first Disney Cruise.

It seems like it's so far away -- we're counting down the days!

I'd like to join in on the Fish Extender fun too. Is that still going to take place?

Looking forward to talking more with you all...

Hi Everyone,

I updated the FE list today. If I counted right we are up to 14 cabins joining in on the FE. I have 25 gifts ready to go so I hope others will join in on the fun.

The final date to join will be October 23 (1 month before we sail).

92 more days!! I can't wait. I planned our vacation attire today. My DS has been wearing a size 6 this summer but I noticed yesterday they are a little tight. I'm going to run to Gymboree this week to see if I can get a few pairs of size 7 shorts on clearance for him to take on the cruise. I also told my DH that he needs to make sure to leave out his shorts and swim trunks when we go to pack up the summer clothes. We only have camping trips planed from now until Nov. so I could go ahead and pack the NEW DISNEY BLACK SUITE CASE I ordered Friday when it gets here.

I have a Vera Bradley set of luggage and my DS has a Disney set of luggage but my DH didn't have any luggage so I ordered the 20" Black Disney Suite Case on Friday. Part of me wishes that I had gotten the 26" but I am hoping that we can get by with 1 large suite case and 2 carry on rolling suite cases. I'm going to pack a small bag that will fold up to take for all the extras that need to come home.

Because we weren't able to add on all the extra days I wanted to for this trip I have already started thinking about next year too. However, I don't think we will do the cruise next year. We purchased a new 5th Wheeler Camper in July and LOVE camping. We stayed at the Fort in April using my parents camper and had the best time. Since we have our own camper now I think we are going to spend Thanksgiving at the Fort next year. I'm already looking at the days and thinking about what I want to do. Who knows maybe we will spend Thanksgiving at WDW every year. I think it would be a nice family tradition for Just the Three of Us.

I could go on and on and on but I guess I'll get back to my Sunday evening.

Allison-I already put some of my summer dresses away and need to dig them out. My sister's family hasn't flown since pre-911, so I am going to have to inspect her family's luggage & carry-ons. I can't wait until sept 9th to sign up for everything!
