Okey doke. The list is all up to date. Hopefully I got that all correct! Please let me know if I messed up! Thanks!:cool1:
 
Hello all --- been away from the boards for awhile. but i've been reading all the posts. Glad the cruise is getting closer.

i've started "packing" - putting odds and ends in a tote. They are things i won't need until the cruise and i don't want to forget.

DH and i started on the fe's. i have some more to do. is there a cut off? i'm sure i'll make a few extra, but want to make sure i have enough.

is there anyone out there who will be going on the golf excursion in Grand Cayman? DH is signed up to go and thought i would try to find him a golf partner.

Those autograph/journals are really cool! Wish i was a few years, well okay, a lot of years younger!!

Later------

The FE list will be closed on August 25th.

Adults can use the journals too...:confused3 I can adjust them to an adult version. :cool1:
 
Hi Sarah,

I was wondering if you could update our info on the roll call.

Line 4 - my sister and her husband are no longer cruising with us.
Line 3 - my friend's room # is 6076
Line 2 - please add my second dear son, age 2. Our room # is 7534. We will be celebrating my oldest dear son's 4th birthday on 9/26.

I think that's it. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Debra
 
someone else is celebrating the Double Nickel! We were originally scheduled to sail the 20th of October which is my birthday but my husband has to be at a trade show in Las Vegas that week so with work schedules we had to move it up to the inaugural :)

Busily working on FE gifts, ordered T-shirts from Vista Print, ordered a journal for my grandson (letting his mom fill it out - his dad is deployed and this is a record he will be able to see when he gets home)

Need to buy my boa and tiara.....

Made reservations for brunch - with nursery reservations for the grandson.

Made reservations for Mr Sanchos in Cozumel.

Made reservations for Tropicante in Costa Maya (read about them on the DIS and they get great reviews)

No plans for Grand Cayman but with a two year old in tow may be fun just to walk around.

Know what I am going to pack. For those of you that know about SOMA most of my dresses come from there so I can pack one for each night and there is no wrinkling involved. Will have to decide what "formal" dress I want to bring though. :)
 

Just booked this cruise today!

I've got questions...and I have not read through the posts, but will try to tomorrow.
for those flying into Houston (Hobby) a day prior, where are you staying, and how are you getting to the port. I am trying to weigh my options. I don't think it will be worth it to rent a car and also pay to pay at the port. There is only 2 of us? Are their any close by decent hotels near the port, and if so do they offer shuttles or free parking?
Or would it be better to stay near the airport and just take Disney transportation.

Welcome to the cruise!
I am Jill and am traveling with several of my friends and family. I am originally from Houston but now live in Fort Worth. I do know there are many hotels near Hobby airport that would be good. They are also near places to shop so if you forget anything it would not be far to get to a store. In Galveston I am not sure I remember of any hotels real close to the port. I know some of the girls have mentioned one earlier in this post.

Thanks for the welcome.
It's going to be me and my best friend on this trip. (I am Jennifer and she is Lisa) I haven't traveled with her for years and we are excited. This is her first cruise ever and my 2nd disney (I have sailed NCL twice in the past too). I am also sailing the Dream in Nov.This one with a big group of family. I will not be telling my DD about this cruise being a Disney one, just that I am cruising. LOL. I can't beleive I am going on 2 Disney cruises in 1 year!

I am thinking of stayng at the Marriot near the airport. I have done a little reading and a few people said they are staying there. I just need to see about booking that and then our transportation. I really think since it's an area I am not familiar with at all, I should just go ahead with it. Since it's the 2 of us, I don't think renting a car would be any cheaper, and no chances for us to get lost.

I will check out the facebook page. Thanks!

I don't know our room number yet, but hopefully in a few weeks they will assign us one. I am guessing about 2 weeks out.

They have been assigning rooms so you might give it a day or two and check.

Sarah... I seem to keep collecting cousins on this trip..lol My cousin Jana's son and girlfriend are now booked. GTY so have to get back with you on a room number.

Please add Bryan Kouba and Ivy Henderson, GTY to your roll call.

Thanks
 
TxMermaid don't forget to invite the ladies to Champagne Girls!!

All ladies are invited to Champagne girls. Also it seems the men want to come and be labeled as the Beer Boys. I have made a pic for anyone wanting to print a T-shirt. It is on facebook. I will work on something for the Beer Boys too.


Looks like there are the movies being played on board

Toy Story in 3D
Tangled in 3D
The Muppets
John Carter
Chimpanzee
Reel Steel
People Like Us
The Avengers
Brave
The Odd Life of Timothy Green (premiering 08.15.12, so good chance it will be on board).
 
Here are some pics of the journals/autograph books I make. They are very cute and full of fun pages to document your cruise. Everyone that sees them just loves them. PM me if you are interested in one.

I think when we get a better count I might check with DCL and ask for a place and time to do it. Sometimes they have activities going on at Promenade Lounge.
 
ATTENTION: ATTENTION CHAMPAGNE GIRLS: If we do a champagne tasting the fee is $20. pp We need 25 people to make this a go. So please.. if you would like to do an actual tasting instead of just basically a meet and greet then you can add your reservation number to the sign up sheet. There are no refunds if you don't show up. If we get enough interested than we will plan it that way.
 
I am sitting in my den, listening to the Astros lose, drinking a margarita on the rocks and attempting to figure out FEs. Wow it's been a loooooooong time since I had this strong of a margarita. 43 more days.... but I think I figured it out.:happytv:
 
We just booked this cruise on Aug. 9. I am still in shock we are going. It will be our 2nd Disney Cruise. We are a family of 4 our son is 10 and our daughter is 8. We would love to participate in the FE, if we still can. The FE was 1 of the major highlights for my daugther on the last cruise.

If we are too late I understand that too.

Cannot wait!
