Feel free to update with anything I may have gotten wrong. Will anyone else be checking in early at the port? Maybe we can find each other while waiting to board the ship. I think the kids would enjoy making new friends.

Thanks so much for doing this list. It is extreemely helpful. I definitely want to meet somewhere early on. Many people meet onboard around 3ish i have been told... anyway, i think we should update the list too to see if anyone specific is doing fish extenders so that we can know for sure. Right now, i think it is just me and Leslie.

And i am not happy about Bill...

I agree on meeting but how will we go about that and know who eachother are?? I am getting very upset about BILL!!! We have Atlantis booked through Comfort Suites and have until Saturday @ 4 to cancel.

I cant wait for our trip, cant wait to meet all of you - and yes really very nervous about these storms - sending out good vibes - sending out good vibes

I haven't gotten anything for fish extenders and think it may be too late at this point, so I guess we will not be doing it.

As for meeting, we plan to get to the terminal early (I thought I read you can check in at 10:30am). There will definitely be some time to kill in the terminal before we board the ship. If anyone else is there early, maybe we can meet then? We need to do something to identify each other. I will have a red stroller with my 1 year old in it. How about I put a sign on it that says "Disney Cruise or Bust". So everyone can look for me and then we can all meet that way. Will that work?

Now I hope I dont oversleep or something! (Who am I kidding, I will be so excited the night before I wont be able to sleep!)

By the way, my name is Maria and my husband is Jon.

Sounds good, Maria!!! I was thinking maybe getting the lime green Mickeys at Home Depot and hang from my purse or bag. My name is Paulene & my hubby is Rob. My girls are Morgan & Mackenzie ...

Oh we are not doing the fish extenders either. I had too much other stuff to do. Tshirts & magnets..

Storms look better. Bill heading more north than before per NOAA. We'll see!

I just found a very good article about the first day on the cruise.

http://www.disneytravelguru.com/2008/11/08/a-disney-dozen-things-about-boarding-a-disney-cruise/

On our first disney cruise, we felt very overwhelmed and ended up missing a few things that first day. One thing I would add stress in this article is to get your navigator and look it over for events on the first night. We missed all the events that first night (including the show) because we were so excited about being on the ship that we never looked at the navigator.

Lime green is the official color of the disboards. Many people go to Home Depot and get the free paint sample color cards which come in the shape of mickey heads (for their Disney line of colors) and use this to show they are a member of the disboards.

Looking good re Bill guys:

I am game for the meet and greet as well

In our party is DS 4, DH Russ and myself Darnella.

ladypirate...i believe your daughter is 4 as well.

we plan on getting to the terminal early as well...around 10:30. i haven't even thought about what i will wear yet but i will figure it out and post on boards. we would also be fine meeting later in the day on the ship.

Bill is nerve racking but hopefully the projected path holds so we can all board and be on our merry way!!!

I just did my door magnets last night. Also doing a couple tshirts for DD7. We are passing on the Fish Extenders. I just do not want to overwhelm myself. My DD7 made some magnets all by herself. She was soooo excited. Any other questions feel free to ask!!
