OK, Jen...catch me up. I tried to find where I left off reading but good lord, this thread is adding 3-4 pages per day!!! (a good thing)

Anyway, I see we have a lot of neighbors on this cruise...I'm guessing at least one from Rock Hill (Western SC 15 min south of NC screams Rock Hill to me!). We are in Charlotte, NC. We are also transplants from the north. I grew up in Chicago and my wife is from Oregon and Wisconsin.

How big is the FE list that someone is talking about splitting it??
Are we over 100?
If I'm stuck in a group, can I choose? I want Jen's FE gift for sure!!! Won't everyone?

Me? I'm buying a couple of gifts for every room on the FE list. One generic and one specific to adults or kids, depending on who is in the particular room...

And we're from Greenville, SC! So not too far from you either!

Our FE came in the mail this week! Jen did an AWESOME job! In fact, I have it hanging up in the family room as a decoration now!! I'll have to try and get a pic this weekend and post it!! She even put up with my special requests! LOL!! I LOVE It!!!

 

[P.Leilani]

Hey Jen (you are the pouplar girl lol)
Anyway, would you like me to finish up the excel list. The one I sent you was only group 1. I know you are so busy, trying to keep up with the FE list the meets and everything else anything I can do I will.

Also, I had a thought, I saw a few pages back there was talks of "meets", my thought how about on the first day everyone in the group wear a lei or Leigh (i know we are not going to Hawaii but the Bahamas) anyway, most dollar stores and party stores have them for like $ 1-3. Just a thought then once at the meet we will be able to spot our awesome group. IDK just a thought from the peanut gallery.

And Jen thanks for all your hard work, quick updates and ideas and suggestions.

I'M POPULAR!! I'M POPULAR! Did you hear that people that I went to school that didnt want to have anything to do with me?? I'M POPULAR!! Oh sorry. What was I saying? Waffles! Do you like waffles?

Yes PLEASE could you do group 2? That would be AWESOMENESS!! Youre a doll!

ooOOooo!!! GREAT idea!! From what I understand, the dis board's color is lime green. Why dont we all try to find leis in green! Oh that's a great idea. Now I dont have to make a shirt for us! lol

Oh yay!! I am glad you love it! <whisper> what was your special requests? Also, if you wouldnt mind, would you leave feedback on Etsy? It is SOOOO useful! Thanks!

Um, Jen - don't you remember adding a Hidden Mickey for me??? LOL. Guess I wasn't as much of a pain as I thought!! LOL!

oooOOOOoooo that wasn't that much!!!

 

[Webmiester]

Yep, got he FE and love it! I have it hanging in my office on the door to be used as a gauge for whether or not gifts that I'm considering will fit...lol

Just in case I wasn't clear, I am also buying FE gifts for every room.
I think the only thing that should be of concern is that everybody gets some stuff in their FE. I'm guessing Jen and I aren't the only ones that will be placing something in every FE, so shouldn't be a problem....

While I agree it isn't fair to expect everyone to buy multiple gifts for every room on the FE list, I think that is what most people will do.

Thoughts? I apologize if I missed an entire discussion on this in the week I've been away...in that case if someone will catch me up that'd be great.

I will start working on it now. I am trying to figure out how to add a link to make it public so those without excel can view it on line... hmmmm

So lime green leis it is... (or just a leis if you cant find lime green)

Another thought, I was looking at another thread and one group did an ice cream social meet for the kids... sound cute to me, especially for those of us who will be arriving the day before...IDK just another thought....

I'm in! Where did they meet before? I know Victoria would love it but I have no idea what is around there.

AWww! Thank you for the feedback!!

Its well deserved!

Our kids aren't going, but a lot of people use Beaches and Cream if staying on property. I know in Cocoa there is Ice Cream Junction 214 W Cocoa Beach Cswy, Cocoa Beach, FL 32931 but I don't know how far that is from where folks are staying. A lot of times folks just have a meet at the pool where a lot are staying and order pizza or something.

That reminds me. We are staying in Port Canaveral, not Orlando

I think I am going to have to get out my gun and shoot that rabbit. He distracted me when I tried to reply to this and made me forget to until now!

YAY! i am glad you do. I was kinda worried that you weren't happy with it. WHEW! And I am glad that it is multi functional. I will put that in the descriptions of the listings "It can also double as a FE size gage!"

 

[3xthejoy]

He knows Jenkins and Pitts. Did/do the Pitts own Marrow-Pitt Hardware? Jimmy Pitt??? Jenkins as in Jenkins Oil Co.??

DH said nope to all 3.

I think the Pitts are related somehow to the Pettaways

That's so funny,because DH went to a family reunion last weekend in Tarboro and in the book that they made was a family tree and "Pettaway" is in it. I will PM you.

 

[3xthejoy]

We signed up for parasailing,but only want to do it tandem. Is their a weight limit? DH is 6'1 about 230lbs, and let just say I'm not 120lbs anymore

Anyone??? It don't think it states the limit on Disney cruise line's website.

We'll have to figure it out at the port or on board! I can't wait to meet both of you and your families.
