i've been checking obsessively too!!

its typical, its been quiet on here all day, i go out for 2 hours to take the dog out, and we've got a new person and everyone's been on here! i feel left out!! :rotfl2:

jenny's right, there's 5 of us still waiting on assignments too (Tom is too). Jenny, Lainey, Donna and Cristina are the only ones who actually know their room numbers at the mo!! i know the wait is killing me at the mo!! hopefully it'll come soon!

i'm off up to glasgow tomorrow, i've got to go sort out gary's car when he gets home, its a rental car that the company has got him til his actual company car comes through next month. he's mega paranoid about putting the dog in it to take him up to scotland with us. so i've been washing all of cerby's blankets and car seat covers today, and gotta dog proof the car later.
i've set myself a bit of a challenge while we're up there, gary's parents have a cocker spaniel who's a bit of a terror, and i'm going to have a go at training it a bit. so i've been packing extra leads, a harness, treats etc.
(on a slightly sad side note, i've been priming my farm town farm for going away, once my grapes are harvested i'm planting pumpkins so they'll last til i get back on sunday, god i need to get a life!!)

stacy, i like the idea of the buckets hanging from the fish, i think that'd make a great FE gift, we could have the beer fairy going around and leaving beers in the buckets!! :drinking1: :rotfl:
 
erica, welcome to our (i'm guessing you've already noticed!) very friendly chatty cruise meet thread!!

my name is karen, i'm cruising with my husband gary, i'm 28 (29 next sunday!!) and from the UK. this is our 2nd disney cruise, and we love it! we're staying at saratoga springs and animal kingdom lodge prior to the cruise! 24 days til we fly out!! (not that i'm counting)....

i'm organising the fish extender gift exchange, if you would like to join in, let me know and i'll add you to the list (the cut off for joining is about a week or so time).if you're not sure what a FE is, here's a few threads to fill you in

See Erica, we told you Karen would have it all organized. :thumbsup2

I am down with the beer fairy!

We should probably decide on a time for Jellyrolls pretty soon...
 
yeah i was thinking that too, i know some of us wanted to hit epcot after for EMH didnt we? not sure what time it opens but i'll go check and find out.

and in my defence :rolleyes1 i do have a word document saved on my laptop with all the meet info, FE list and all that, i pretty much just copy and paste it everytime we get new people!
 

just stolen this from another post on here!

Jellyrolls hours are year-round. Doors open nightly at 7pm, entertainment starts at 8pm. Last call is 1:30am and everyone is out the door before 2am

i dont think there's much point in getting there before 8pm, it doesnt sound like there'll be anything on before that. what time does everyone fancy meeting up?
 
I'm fine with meeting up around 8ish, if everyone is going to be done with dinner by then. We can stay for a drink or two and then headover to EMH. Sound good to everyone?

Karen, you may need to send me that doc closer to the sail date!
 
lol, i'm planning on sending out maps to everyone of where the FE drops are anyway, i'll add the meet info to it too.
i'm not really this organised in real life, i just know that if i dont have it written down somewhere i'll either forget it, or have to spend hours going through all 178 pages (and counting) to find things out!!
 
thanks for that, i thought it might make it easier for newcomers to figure out whats going on without having to read through all the pages!!

hows work going anyway?
 
i think jenny has unwittingly just given our cruise a name!!! (the longer cruises tend to have some kind of funky nickname and i've always thought that the shorter cruises get left out a bit)

"goombays, oh my!" :drinking1 :rotfl2:
 
Ooooooooo I like that name!! We should put in on our magnets -- "The Goombay Smash Tour"!! Very good Karen & Jen!!
 
"the Goombay Smash Tour" it is!

not that we're planning on drinking the cruise away or anything......... lol
 
just checked again and still no room assignment..... grrrr
 
hi grumpy,
toy story is on the friday (nassau day).

are you coming on our cruise?
 
:rotfl2: I like that. Though people perusing the cruise threads are probably like 'What the heck is a Goombay?' I picture the little mushroom guy who gets squashed in Mario Bros. They're called Goombas. :rotfl:

He can be our mascot!
 
i'm thinking of doing litle goombay magnets to add to my FE gifts.......
i think i've got OCFED - obsessive compulsive fish extender disorder!
