Hi everyone,

It looks like we will have several families participating in our FE exchange So, if you would like to participate, please PM the info listed below in bold, plus your email address. The week before the cruise, I will PM and email everyone the FE list. Now I need to make a FE

I like the idea of a short meet too, and hopefully someone else will volunteer to organize that.

Mary

It looks like you had a nice time! Sorry your dd is moving so far away, I know how hard it is to be away from mom and dad. My parents live a few states away too.

I would like to participate in the FE too. I'll pm you my info. What do you think, names, kids' names, gender, ages and room Number?

I'd be happy to personalize any magnets for anyone. I think I've made a few Christmas ones, but I can always make more! My photobucket link is in my sig, and there are some other great ones by others on the magnet board.

That sounds like fun to have a quick meet before the cruise that way we can put names to faces and say hi when we pass eachother by during. I'm game!

I have got to think of something to use for an FE gift!! I have been looking and thinking and I still can't decide what to use!! I thought about making something, but I am far from creative and don't really have the time with the kids and running back and forth with them
I noticed a lot of the cruise meets have thought up names for their cruise group...I have tried to think of something but cannot come up with anything...what do you all think of this idea and if you agree what would you come up with? One of the reason I had thought of this was because I thought of ordering some of those rubbery type bracelets in DIS green and having something imprinted on it, then when we all are signing in at the cruise terminal we could recognize our fellow DISers....let me know if you all like or dislike that idea.

A name sounds good to me. On our last cruise we were the Bushwacker Banditos...long story but the name just kind of evolved. Everyone put on your creative thinking caps...

I will be glad to organize the initial meet and greet. On our last cruise, one of our cruisers also did a spreadsheet. It included our screen name; who's traveling in our party (including names and ages especially kid's ages); where we live; do we have early or late dining; stateroom number; email address; and if we are celebrating anything special. I will be happy to set this up if everyone would PM me with their information. It was nice to have some basic info before the meet and greet and it will be helpful for the FE exchange too.

Wow! We're just a little over 5 months away from our cruise!

Yes! It is hard to believe it is just over 5 months until our cruise, but it just can't come fast enough for me lol. I just can't wait..I NEED vacation!!

I have had my thinking cap on, but I think it is out of order lol. I am just not that creative. As soon as we decide on a name, then I will get going on ordering the bracelets, if everyone wants them. If not let me know, just an idea! I will send you the PM with the info requested above. I've got to get busy making my FE lol. I think that will probably have to wait until the kids are back in school. Look forward to hearing from all of you!!!

thanks, Donna for volunteering I like the idea of a group name too, maybe something about escaping winter. At least, that will be my focus leaving Chicago in December!

Winter in Chicago, oh my! I've never been there, but I've heard stories.

I love the name idea! My husband suggested something along the lines of South for the Winter WONDERs or Winter WONDERland cruisers. I'm not very creative with wording things either, so I have no clue.

I have an Idea of what I'm getting for the FE's, but I still have to see if they will work. I need to break out the sewing machine!

Hope all is well with everyone!

 

[tngal]

Winter in Chicago..not something I think I want to experience lol!!!

I will be trying to think of something...but I am not very good at this type of thing. I am trying to learn to sew something simple and you'd think i'm trying to make a wedding dress or something!!! Oh well.

I hope the weather is not to cold for us to enjoy Castaway Cay..but regardless not much is going to stop me lol!! I think I might hide somewhere until the ship pulls out and stay there...i'll have to think of a good plan for hiding

I really look forward to hearing more about the meet and greet and getting to meet all of you!!!

I'm relaxing by my pool, listening to Jimmy Buffet songs on my iPhone, and dreaming about Castaway Cay. I need to download some more songs to listen to at the pool and on the cruise. Feeling good, warm weather songs...any suggestions?

I can think of a few...but depends on what type of music you like

Can I come sit by the pool with you? I wish we had a pool lol. We just go swimming in the creek a few miles out from our house. I don't know if you've ever been swimming in a mountain stream, but it is COLD!!!

I like country the best but also soft rock, oldies-60s or 70s...

 

[tngal]

What about something from the beach boys? anything that has steel drums in it lol. I don't listen to country,so I can't really think of anything along those lines...except for "its 5 o'clock somewhere" lol.

[MaryEL8775]

How about the Dis Cruisers??? That way we all know that we are also DisBoard people as well.

 

[tngal]

Happy Monday everyone! Hope your week is going to be cooler than mine!! I really don't mind it..I think I can handle hot better than cold weather any day!!
Do any of you know where a good place to purchase glowsticks,necklaces and bracelets would be? i want to get some for pirate night.

Hope everyone has sent their info for the fe exchange and for our meet and greeT!!! can't wait!

We are paid in full and now we even have airfare for our trip. I am loving it. The best part is that the kids are still clueless that we are taking the trip this year. I can't wait to show my mom WDW for 4 days first, then we can sit back and relax on the cruise.

 

[mousebrat]

The Dollar Tree usually has glowsticks, etc. I haven't been there in awhile though. Target also had them in March.

It is so hot here. The heat index was 110 today. Yuck!

 

[donmil723]

Lisa,

Thanks for the song suggestions. I had already downloaded Beach Boys Sounds of Summer.

Everyone that wants to participate in the meet on the first day of the cruise and/or the fish extender exchange, please PM me with the following info: screen name; names of everyone travelling; ages of children and/or adults; place you live; stateroom #; early or late dining; email address; and any special events you might be celebrating. I will put the info on a spreadsheet and email it to everyone that replies.

I like all suggestions for names or maybe we could combine a couple of them--DIS Winter Wonder Cruisers!

 

[tngal]

Hi everyone!! Just wanted to check in and see what was up. Hope you all are having a great wk. so far. We are enjoying the wonderful weather here in TN, it has been unusually cool for this time of year, but that is ending soon.
I like the name for the cruise group, I had thought of a few, but figured they sounded stupid or something If everyone agrees on the name then let me know and I'll start looking for a good place to order the bracelets,if you all are interested in them.
DonMil...maybe closer to the cruise time people will start sending you their info ? I hope so...really look forwad to all of it..maybe you could send them a friendly reminder lol

hope you all have a great 4th of July!!

Lisa

DIS Winter Wonder Cruisers sounds good to me. What names did you come up with, I'm sure they aren't stupid at all!

I'll send my info today, my pm box has been full and I finally got some of it cleared out.

This summer has been so beautiful it's hard to get myself inside the house, but I have to clean! Hope you all are having a great summer too!

I had a small list, when I find it i'll post it on here of the names I came up with, but don't expect nothing spectacular lol.

I can just imagine how full your pm box has been, with all your cool designs and such I am going to request a few...I just hope I have room on my door for all of the magnets I already have made out...I'm not sure how many one door can hold, but now that I think of it, I do have my mom and step-dads connecting room door I could use as well ..hehehe.

The summer here has been beautiful as well, unusually not humid, which is very unusual for the south.

I'll post those later....enjoy the day!

Shanrene Bracelets

Shanrene.com is a great place to get bracelets made as I have used them for several trips. They are great and reasonably priced.
