[Mouseskis]

Ok...starting to freak out a little. I have one week to get everything ready! We fly down to Florida one week from today! I can't wait and yet I have so much to do. Ahhh the pressures of vacation.

ppiew - thanks so much for hosting the Cruise meet! We are very excited about it. Also, sidenote - I notice that you are from the UP. I used to travel up there for work - best ravioli EVER!!!

Looking forward to meeting all of you. I will be the shy one in the corner.

Have a safe trip to Orlando and a great time in WDW -- we're getting in a few days after you! Oh -- and I'll be hiding in the other corner.

Thanks for hosting the meet and greet. We are looking forward to it!

I'm freaking out too! We leave a week from tomorrow. We are doing 4 days at WDW before the cruise.

I'm from WI too

And I'll be the outgoing one, trying to make sure I've met everyone!

It's always weird how the last week sort of sneaks up on you! For months, the cruise has seemed so far away, and then all of a sudden, BAM!, it's here!! Let the packing frenzy begin!

We're still a week and a half out from leaving, but I do plan to get some packing done today (not the clothes, but all the other stuff). My FE surprises are personalized, done, and ready to pack! I'm putting my FE (small canvas bag) and the few magnets we're putting on the cabin door in my carry-on bag so I can get those up as soon as we can get in our cabin (usually 1:30pm on the dot). I'm also putting highlighters in my carry-on, and plan to stop at Guest Relations to pick up a Navigator as soon as we board.

I can hardly wait!!!!!

(But, check your cabin door anyway because I'd already made your goodies! )


Be sure to print a copy of the above list and pack it with your FE gifts so you'll know where to deliver them!


IF YOU ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO SNAG AN UPGRADE OR CHANGE CABINS, please be sure to notify the rest of us so we'll know where to leave your surprises! You can do this several ways: leave notes on our doors, leave messages on our cabin voicemails, come to the Meet & Greet to tell us, etc. If it were me, I'd probably do all of the above!

I truly hope everyone enjoys the FE experience! I know I'm looking forward to it!

Hi All,

I just called DCL and here are the movies that will be shown onboard our sailing:

Alice in Wonderland
Princess and the Frog
Old Dogs
When in Rome
G-Force
Toy Story in 3-D
Toy Story II in 3-D
A Christmas Carol in 3-D

There will be a Movie Guide in our staterooms, usually on the back of the TV Channel Listing. Most movies will be shown in the Buena Vista Theatre on Deck 5, but some could also be shown in the Walt Disney Theatre and/or the Ariel View Screen outside on Deck 9 mid-ship above the Goofy family pool.

The cm didn't say anything about any of the Pirates movies, but they usually have one playing on the Ariel View screen after the Pirate Night party.

 

[CarolinaBlue]

Deb T.: I should've known you'd be one step ahead of me! I was about to call regarding the movies, but I decided to check here first!

The girls are excited about seeing Alice (well, Johnny Depp ).

I can't believe it's almost here! I've got so much to do. I have my FE stuff, but I've got to start packing 'cause we're leaving on the 30th.

 

[mmmears]

Deb -- Thanks for finalizing the F/E list -- we're all done now, thank goodness! I still have one for Bobo_UK since it was already done. And thank you for posting the movie info, too! I wouldn't have known where to get that information -- you're a great asset for us newbies to have on our 1st cruise!!!
