6/7/11 - It's a double dip DREAM!

[scuba.mom]

any of you experienced cruisers ever run the Castaway Cay 5K?

Just wondering if there is a "time limit". DH and I are what you might call "pooh sized" (or "recovering" pooh sized, he's down 28#, I'm down 21# since January)... we're trying, but fitness is still a long way off...

Do they expect you to RUN the whole thing? or is a jog/walk allowed? I'm thinking we could do it in about 45 minutes (assuming it's not too hot)...

I "ran" it (or in my case run / walk) last year. There was not a time limit on it. We met at the bottom of the gangway at a specified time and the crew member in charge told us the route (there were signs as well). We all started together, but the serious runners soon were out of sight. Many of the runners were doing it just for fun or to support a family member. I know my son and husband ran with me. We had a lot of fun. We each received a water bottle "prize" at the end of the race for completing it. Try it, you will have fun seeing the Island from a different perspective.

AWESOME!!! We are toying around with the idea of putting my 3-year-old in some sort of gymnastics class. With the way she has to walk on every single curb in every single parking lot, I'm convinced she will be wonderful on the balance beam



That is exactly how they start. Here is a link to a video her friend made of her at the Nastia Liukin Cup she qualified to this year. This may be what you are in for.

This is our first DCL trip. DH, me and Our DD age 7 at time of cruise (almost 8) is super excited. We are looking into getting a fish extender just have to agree on one.

One question I had was do alot of people decorate their door? And does any one know how long the lines are to see the disney characters?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

(although, I better be in mrswarr's group because I want my sticker/magnet!!!! )

That's just my thoughts, but I'm sure I will go with the majority.

And it took me approximately 3.5 seconds to make each one, so I hope you can appreciate my craftsmanship!

Maybe the newer people could just start a 2nd group? Just an idea. I did make a few extra party bag things and will just drop those in to whichever FE's I see hanging that aren't on the list.

Hey - kellyb! Do you have a room number yet?!

Also, here is my random tidbit for today (don't try and pretend you aren't excited): I did NOT get my suitcase out yesterday! My husband (the nerve!) got the Easter things out and the closet put back together before I could get my hands on it! So, I put a pile of "vacation shoes" in the middle of our closet.

So in my defense, just so y'all won't think I'm completely hateful (I said a r s e, earlier and got censored!) I worked on my stuff this weekend and got 4 of mine about halfway finished and it took me at least 2 hours. Yes, it was my choice to do this particular craft and I am thoroughly enjoying it, but with the numbers adding it's getting a little over whelming.

I DO!!! #5513 And so far it's looking like I'm the only one on deck 5! "lonely....I'm so lonely...."

What is an "r s e?"

Four are halfway done and it took 2 hours? Oh my word. I can't imagine what you must be doing! I looked on the thread that has FE suggestions and wanted to poke my eyes out. Everything was just SO amazing! People (other people, not moi) have got some skills!

One more thing: was it hard to iron on the rhinestone skull? The last iron on I did was for vacation bible school tshirts and it was not awesome, but the transfer had been printed off of someone's computer. Hoping this one goes on a little easier.

 

[kellyb2000]

A-R-S-E. Maybe it's just a southern saying, although I really thought it was something English people said. Anywho...means a--. Just add an "R".

Chances are you saw what I'm doing! It's really not anything super special, trust me, you're gonna come home with better souvenirs! But it is time consuming and it is kind of my hobby. There - that's all the hints you get!

The first one went on perfect (luckily that was mine ) The second one didn't go quite as planned but still looks GREAT! Big shout out to my favorite sister JKLMNOP48375893 for making our FEs!!!! MWAH!

Got it. lol - not enough coffee today! My brain is in slow motion!

We're in 8144

 

[4newtocruise]

It will be me, DH, DS (10) and DD (8). We are staying at Port Orleans Riverside before the cruise. I know this is sorta late, but is there anyway of making it onto the FE exchange?

Welcome!

 

[4newtocruise]

Hi everyone!! Here's the latest spreadsheet with some updated cabin numbers. As far a the FE, I just can't do anymore, the list is getting too big for my budget. If any families want to add to their list, it's up to you.

Hey, you didn't see mine, did you? No peeking!!!!

Heyyyy...you JUST said no peeking!!

 

[LissaW16]

Looks great! Except, ummm, I'm a female.
I like how you have the room numbers in order! I opened it and thought - "woo-hoo, look at me, first one on the list!" Then I realized it's because I'm the lowest on the totem pole, er ship!

for some reason the formatting doesn't work well (some of the ages are squished into the names). if you are type A like me you can download it (at least I think you can) and fix it before you print it (if you are so inclined). I put the rooms in order so I can deliver my gifts in an orderly manner (like I said, type A...)

and Kellyb2000-not lowest on totem pole... closest to the ocean!

I like the way you think!

and might I add, closest to the lifeboats...

Just dropping in to say Hi!
I checked in everyday but don't usually chime in.
I think I have finally found what I want to do for the FE I have been lurking around the FE threads for months and nothing caught my eye. I am so not crafty, although I wish I were. I got a lil discouraged but I think I'm back on track and ready to go.
Can you believe we'll all be on the boat in about a month and a half?!?!
Happy Dance!

 

[mrswarr]

Hey, you didn't see mine, did you? No peeking!!!!

Oh my word - I'm telling you, after the first 10 or so pages of the thread I hung my head in shame! That is a level of craftiness I won't be attaining!

Now, where's my iron?
