[Dziactor]

I'm checking the mail daily. So excited to be at 30 days.

[DisneyCrazMom]

Ok, I know there are packing list everywhere, but does anyone have one in excel that i could have, also any packing tips for someone that is cruising and then going to the parks. QUOTE]

I downloaded this excel spreadsheet from a lady's site: "Packing Lists and Cruise Tips." (link below)
It's alphabetical and seems pretty darn complete! Gave me lots of ideas of things that I totally forgot about OR that I never would've even considered, since this is our 1st cruise in 10 yrs!!

Thank you, very completed.

On another note...got my cruise docs today...giddy like a small child. Even drew a chalk drawing outside of the ship with me on the deck with a huge smile on my face.

 

[tammyj0927]

Yay.....we got our documents today too! I have never been so happy leaving my mailbox!

 

[Linden Lady]

Yay! My docs arrived this afternoon as well! Guess it's official

 

[bubbasmom99]

Docs are in da house!!!

 

[mjaclyn]

We just got ours too! Some of the information is incorrect because I've made a few changes recently. Does anyone know if I just keep the same cruise documents or do they send out new ones with the correct info?

 

[DISHUD]

Got our docs on Thursday woo hooo!!!!!

Email going out to everyone on the mailing list about the FE.

***IMPORTANT***
The FE exchange list is now closed to signups. I am counting 34 cabins, unless I missed something (which is entirely possible). To ensure we have the most accurate count, please complete this “re-confirmation” form for me asap: http://www.studio-je.com/machform/view.php?id=10 I’ll send out an update next week with any additions or deletions.

I don't want anyone left out that wants to participate, and we don't want anyone to make too many FEs for people that drop out... Thanks!

 

[Linden Lady]

got it. thanks. i can't believe how close it's getting!!

 

[mjaclyn]

I'm SO excited!!! Final preparations are being made.... I ordered our Fish Extender from Ebay and am getting my FE gifts together as we speak!

 

[Dbk8784]

I am so beyond excited about the cruise. My poor family has had enough of hearing about it. I know everyone here shares my excitement!!! I can't wait to set sail!

 

[mjaclyn]

I have an idea... I've been reading on the boards that sometimes there are days on the cruise when no FE gifts are delivered because everyone ends up giving their gifts on the same day. What would everyone think about being 'assigned' a day to deliver their gifts? That way each day there would be something in the Fish Extenders. I'm willing to do whatever day works best for everyone else... any thoughts?

 

[rgroves]

We are only plannig on delivering FE gifts on one day. Probably Nassau, or CC day, it just depends on when we have the time to do it. We want to spend a majority of the time checking out the new ship.

We did this on our Feb 2010 cruise and we thought it worked well. unfortunately, some people just don't want to be tied down to a schedule.... we will be delivering for CC day!

 

[bubbasmom99]

I am one of those who does not want to commit to a day... I'd rather not feel pressured to "get things done" while on vacation, and will look for a good pocket of time once we get on the ship and figure out what activities everyone is scattering to.

However, if someone wants to take on the task of coordinating delivery days for those who wish to participate, it may help even out some of the delivery days... I am a bit time-crunched to work on this but am happy to let someone else take those reins and I'll post whatever you come up with on the website....

 

[DisneyCrazMom]

I also am one that would prefer not to be tied to a day.

 

[Dizpinfriend]

I also prefer not to be assigned a time, my plan was to deliver my FE's on Nassau day after I return to the ship from my excursion and before dinner (I have late seating).

My night tonight will be spent sorting and packaging everything up, as my in-laws are driving back to FL this weekend, so I can send my FE's down with them to avoid having to schlep them in my luggage on the way down...
