Ahoy! Sailing the Wonder 2/8/09

[kcashner]

No cabin assignments yet. I know....28-30 days, so why am I checking at 34 days?

 

[Ladyw/theTramp]

If my count is right... now we have 21 adults and 15 kids..? (That's counting Koren as an adult)

Does that sound right? I will plan on a few extras... I am hoping to order something soon... because we leave on the 1st of Feb for a week at WDW before the big cruise and I want to make sure the FE gifts get here by then! I'm getting excited!!!

 

[kcashner]

You made her day by counting Koren as an adult.

For anyone who cares, our cruise is now officially showing as sold out. Of course, I've also seen that change right at the 30-31 day mark......

So much for my hopes of an empty ship!!!

 

[kcashner]

Yeah, I think they are in the process of doing cabin assignments for our week. I checked several times today--our cruise is always showing up as sold out. The 3 day cruise following has fluctuated several times as to what is available. Oh what fun....maybe I should think about packing since I don't wear any of my "cruise clothes" during the winter.

I am dreaming of the Bahamas but obviously still in Texas... Saturday it was sunny and 84 degrees. Now the trees are covered with ice and rain. Very unusual for Arlington,Texas. We keep looking out the window.

I am suddenly feeling behind!!! I am still shopping for clothes for the whole family and haven't started FE stuff yet. I got a great deal on an underwater camera on Ebay. I can't wait to try it!!!

Whoo hoo! I received my Fish Extender in the mail today! It is so cool!

Now I have to go shopping for the gifts!

way to go you guys! you are great shoppers!! I am still in the hunting and gathering phase...

 

[NotsoMinnie&Goofy]

I went shopping today and got our fish extender presents!! I can't wait to get them finished. The excitement is really building now - My daughter told our grandkids about the trip to WDW and the cruise on Christmas and they were really excited to find out we were going, too!

My daughter is so creative!! She and our son-in-law have a Disney tree with only Disney ornaments in their front room and that is where she gave the kids their Disney trip surprises. I have to get started on our fish extenders this week and finish Pirate shirts! Our gift from her was a huge Disney family Vacation bag filled with things for our trip, including books about the cruise and the excursions.

We can't wait to meet everyone on Feb. 8th!!

This is us today too. I'm killing some time on disboards waiting for our 1 hour delay for school due to ice.

I made our 30 day countdown chain last night. We are driving down the evening of the 6th, so today is our 30 day mark

 

[anetnmike]

I'm not sure if I'm more excited about going or more panicked about what I have left to do!!!

 

[NotsoMinnie&Goofy]

All of you who are doing the fish extender thing -- are you signing your gifts or are they supposed to be a secret?

 

[NotsoMinnie&Goofy]

I'm not sure if I'm more excited about going or more panicked about what I have left to do!!!

I know what you mean!! I'm just entering panic mode and decided I ned to start packing clothes now (making sure what I pack for the trip fits!!)

 

[jedijill]

I've barely started getting ready! I have so much to do and my parents are coming for a visit this weekend and I just scheduled my 5 hour hair appointment for the next Saturday! ARGH!

I'm planning on signing all my FE gifts.

[plaidsmom1]

I wasn't planning on signing our FEs. I am in a panic too. I have to go to storage to get some warm weather clothes and figure out what the heck I am going to take. It is so odd, we wait and wait for the time to come and then run around like crazy cause we aren't ready for it. Go figure.

 

[kcashner]

They are definitely in "shuffle the cabins" mode on our cruise. Yesterday it showed totally full twice. Today it is showing cat 8 available. No cabin assignments yet. Yes, I'm addicted. Yes, I'm gonna be crazy by the time it gets here.

Good thing that today is a really busy one! And...DD wants a new outfit made for an activity at the end of January. Hmmmm does that mean that she'll put away her clean laundry from my cutting table?

If only it was that easy!!!! My dining room is our sewing area, homeschool classroom, and scrapbook area, but it is not usually for eating!!!! I need my table clean so I can make my DH's pirate vest. That will complete my sewing but I still need pirate boots for DH. Better get back to Ebay....

 

[NotsoMinnie&Goofy]

Good, I'll sign mine, too - I hope everyone likes them!! We're in the middle of a freezing rain storm here in Ohio, so I think I'll make our FEs today.

 

[elmo2200]

I can't decide on my FEs. Would anyone like souveniers from Texas Rangers Baseball, Dallas Mavericks Basketball, or Dallas Cowboys football? I can get pictures of the new football stadium, it now looks like the outside is almost done.
