Hi Gang -

I'm just curious as to where people are coming from. Always fun to find out.

We are coming from Nebraska (GO BIG RED ! !

janet

We are from NE too! Near omaha. But driving through MO now...on our way!!!

 

[Kokopele]

Forgot to say...Go Vikings!

And thanks for the driving tip!

 

[Blovesdisney]

We are from Houston Texas and I'm going to the Bahamas for a cool down. Lol. We are driving as well.

We are from Long Island and arrived in Orlando late last night. Can't wait for Sunday!!

 

[TigLife4Me]

We are from Cocoa Florida. Ok, yes, it will only take me about 30 minutes from driveway to check-in counter at the port! LOL

Just so y'all know..... My FE has a different screenname on it, so don't think you've gone to the wrong room. And when you get gifts with my name and "Missy's Sister" on it, that's my sissy & she's in the room next to me. We went in together on the goodies.

The "Fiends" are really amped up about the cruise! We'll be easy to spot Sunday, because most of us will be in purple shirts and we're really loud. LOL

 

[hardingk]

Only 2 more days! Woo Hoo!

 

[kgundyfire]

We're coming from Houston, TX. We are also driving. It looks like we are going to have to dodge that storm heading towards LA so I vacation just got moved up a day.

 

[CandlelitCarousl]

I managed to swing getting off work Saturday, so I am OFFICIALLY on vacation.

 

[RVGal]

We are packed and should leave within the hour. I hope to be in Cape Canaveral by dinner time.

We're in the foothills of Northeast Georgia. It's about a 9 hour drive for us.

Speaking of the drive, if anyone else is driving PLEASE TAKE NOTE. This is race weekend in Hampton, Georgia (south of Atlanta). NASCAR fans arrive all weekend long for the races. Truck race is Friday night, Nationwide race is Saturday night, and Sprint race is Sunday night. You do not want to hit I-75 south of Atlanta anywhere between 3pm and 8pm either Friday or Saturday. If at all possible, make sure you are through that area before 3pm at the latest (the earlier the better). People flood into that area Friday afternoon to camp for the weekend, and then day race goers show up Saturday. The backup can get ridiculous.

We left Chatanooga and drove east, avoided traffic and had a beautiful (but long) drive through the hills. Thank you so much again for the tip!! Going to Okefenokee today and the port tonight! See ya all tomorrow!!

 

[hardingk]

See everyone tomorrow!

So we almost didn't make the ship. We got to Cocoa Beach yesterday, and my Driver's License was nowhere to be found. Luckily my DH saved the day and found it in the car (after a frantic call to Disney and both of my parents to turn my house upside down to find my birth certificate in case my license couldn't be found).


We'll be wearing the bride/groom ears. Please feel free to come up and say hi if you see us!

 

[Kokopele]

Thank you all for the wonderful prizes. "Tinker Bell" left us so many thoughtful fun things. My children truly had a blast. The FE was one of their favorite parts of our trip so far; that and the Okefenokee Swamp (who would have guessed that). Our youngest got some sort of bite on his ankle and spent the first night hopping around on one foot until we got meds from the health center. ($140.00 for seeing the doc and $198.00 for meds, but it cleared up right away).

Thanks again all!!!! Maybe we'll see some of you on our Holiday Cruise next year

This was SO much fun! My girls ended up not enjoying their respective "clubs" at all but this was the highlight of the trip for them! We all got such a kick out of the wonderful (and SO creative) gifts we found each day! Already looking forward to doing this again whenever our next Disney cruise may be!!

 

[RVGal]

Many thanks to everyone for all the gifts we received. I am in awe of those who were able to make homemade things for everyone. I am beyond craft-challenged and can't make anything that doesn't come with instructions.

My boys loved delivering gifts and finding all the prizes in their pockets. We all had a blast!

Oh, and my youngest son's favorite part of the trip? The Midship Detective Agency. We learned after our first game that you do not want to go deck by deck. They send you forward, then aft, then forward, etc. My legs were complaining after a few hikes the length of the ship. The second time we played, we did all the aft deck paintings, then all the forward/mid deck paintings. Much easier on the legs.

Wanted to THANK everyone for the gifts Loved them hope everyone had a great time ....We will be on the Fantasy Sept. 1st cant wait

 

[hardingk]

Thanks everyone for such great gifts!! This was so much fun and we received such awesome things! DD loved coming back to the cabin to find stuff and several people asked us why we were getting things!!

Melissa - Thanks for the map! It came in super handy!!

Was it just me or where there a good number of FE's out that weren't on our list??!! We got confused sometimes going around delivering!!

Wanted to THANK everyone for the gifts Loved them hope everyone had a great time ....We will be on the Fantasy Sept. 1st cant wait

See you there! We will be sailing with you!! So excited!!

It wasn't just you. I passed several fish extenders that were not on our exchange. I didn't have anything extra, so I had to keep double checking to make sure I wasn't missing someone. It was confusing.
