[sandyrella1010]

Hey Chris (CKCruising) are you going to update the map?? I have a feeling I'm going to need it

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

I'm doing the three week and 2 hour dance

I had to admit this but I'm getting totally confused on FE's....but it doesn't take much . I'm just gonna pray I have it right.

Sandy

Hello fellow cruisers!

It took me three days to read through all the posts and regret that we missed out on the official FE activities. We did purchase an FE so if any of the smaller kids want to do an extra exchange with our three year old, we might be able to find some small things to bring with us from Japan. Just let me know.

We got our info from Disney last week and I had a question. Do the suggested tipping prices apply to children as well? I haven't read through any of the info Disney sent other than the easily scanable bold print stuff...

Welcome aboard,

We have extra FE gifts so we'll add you to our list. We're in 6582, adults only.

As others have said the tipping is per person in the cabin, including children. We've always tipped at least the recommended amount and usually more; the crew takes such good care of everyone.

We are going to Universal Studios on Wednesday and IOA on Thursday, visiting Downtown Disney Friday afternoon and hitting Kona Cafe at the Polynesian friday for dinner so we can watch Magic Kingdom fireworks from the beach at 9pm. We will drive to the port Saturday. Hope to be there for 10am and in relaxation mode by 11:30am when we are announced to board the Magic.

I posted the latest I had, which I think is still up-to-date in post 655. I will repost the link here. Note the picture has not changed from the original link.

Is this what you were looking for or are there some corrections that I need to make?

Michelle,

I do not have your picture. Would you resend it to me? (lkw103@yahoo.com).

Thanks.

I also never mentioned why I neede pixie dust - - I just didn't want to get into it all. But I have health problems anyway and I found out recently I have a brain aneurysm. I wasn't sure if the doctors wanted to do any procedures before the cruise. I have to have a cerebral angiogram in May and I am allowed to travel - - I just have to keep my BP low and not lift things or ride the Tower of Terror when we get to Disney but I will be travelling. I am just going to not think about it while I'm away - hopefully that is possible -- this vacation is for happy thoughts and the magic of it will help to heal me . So I am thrilled to know I am going and looking forward to forgetting about doctors and health as much as I can. Now all I have to do is get my root canal next week (I had gum surgery a month ago so I've told docs and dentists that I am done with this stuff til I get back.
So DH and I are going to celebrate my 58th birthday and our 10 year anniversary and that is that. Your pixie dust and kind thoughts a few weeks ago really made me feel good and obviously worked.

Sandy

Sandy,

Thanks for sharing something so personal. The Magic will work magic for you. Putting your dental work and other issues in the back of your mind, you will enjoy your 7 days at sea, celebrate a wonderful birthday and anniversary. More pixie dust for health Take it easy as much as you can.

I will do the 3 week dance for you!

I realize we cut off the list, but I have no problem updating the FE List for everyone as I am getting confused with the sub-list. I am a guy and just started shopping today, so it's easier for me. It's harder for the people that have done their shopping (and shipping for those really on the ball).

How many people wanted on the list...2 cabins?

I would like an update please

 

[Queen2]

Sandy, you are in my prayers. Glad you able to make the cruise

CKCruising: I found the updated map, I guess I missed it the first time.

fe list: I think there are two cabins that wanted to be added - QRS (cabin #6134) and Disneynut 64. I believe that QRS is going to participate but I don't know about Disneynut 64.

:
For anyone that wants Disney Character signatures, bring whatever you want to have singed, t-shirt, pillow cases, picture frames, autograph book. You take these to guest services at the beginning of the cruise, sign a form on who you want to sign or just say all characters, and you will have the item back before the cruise returns home.

the last Disney cruise I was on (05) all items can't have preprinted things on them. Pillow case must be plan & you may have a Disney embrodied (SP)on it.

I dropped off white photo mats that I picked up at Walmart. I indicated which side I wanted up and that went OK, but on one of them they signed the back of the photo mat which is an easy mistake since the bevel is so small. I put them in a manilla envelop with a variety of sharpee colors. They turned out nice. I'll do the same this time and indicated which way is up and which side is front.

Great idea, thanks for rounding up the pictures. I'll be sending one in a little bit from our first Disney cruise. We got our travel documents and for us, the countdown begins!

Hey calcruisers:

I just noticed you are from Walnut Creek. We lived in Livermore for many years. Both our daughters were born in Walnut Creek. We now live in Placerville but visit close friends down there when we can. We're going down a week from Monday for a day visit. We tried really hard to get them to go on this cruise. In fact, we weren't planning on another cruise so soon, we were looking into it for them, but we couldn't pass it up!

Anyway, nice to see someone close by is going also.

Lets see...

Today is April 4 and its 8:00pm.

Our ship sails on April 25 at 4:00pm.

Hmmmm... ok.... divide by 5, add 3, multiply by the radius of mickey's ear, divide by pie (apple), add 2 goofys, subtract 1 minnie kiss and "dot the i" (I am a Buckeye afterall)....

Yup... that looks right!

Just 500 HOURS until the Magic sets sail!!!!!!!

I went ahead and e-mailed Disneynut64 about the FE list. Hopefully, she'll come back and let us know if she still wants to join!
