Ah, another Dave Ramsey family! Big time fans here. We've been debt free (except the house) for over 2 years now, and when we were going crazy getting to that point, I used to tell people that a big motivation to do it was to be able to go to Disney whenever we wanted to! Two-time FPU coordinators at our church. Love it!

I'd not used T shirt transfers before so I've learned something! The ribbon down the sides has union jacks (British flags) on it.
I must get some more of my Maths assignment done before I start obsessing over door magnets!
I just caught up on reading all the posts from the last several days. DH's beloved Aunt passed away last week 
so we've been out-of-state for a while. Although it was nice to see all of our family and friends, it was also very sad because of the circumstance. 
. My mom swears the mid atlantic is going to get him with a huge snowstorm on 3/30, since we haven't had any snow this winter.

I thought I'd share a few of our secret tips and tricks!
sweet tea, but it is not provided anywhere onboard. 
I've read where some guests have asked for it in the dining rooms and their servers have made it special every night just for them, but we've never been fortunate enough for that to happen to us. Fortunately, the 24-hour beverage station supplies coffee cups, hot water, tea bags, sugar, and ice so that I can steep my own tea, sweeten it, cool it down in ice, and then I stop by the nearest bar for lemon slices.No snowstorms anywhere on 3/30, that is the day we are flying out and that has been my biggest fear.....a Michigan snowstorm, ahhh!!!! Once our plane has landed in FL the snowstorms can begin, even if it means our return flight is cancelled

Like I said earlier, I have no fear about snow, but rather about this darn stomach bug that is rampant across the country. Am I the only one that's this crazy?! 
Ha! It seems we all have some paranoia it looks like we need to get over!
Pixie Dust to everyone for no travel delays or illnesses!!! 
Hi, I am super new to this...first post yesterday after I learned about this at work....was wondering if we are too late to be included in the FE's? Would love to partcipate!!
We're glad you found us! Is this your first Disney cruise? (You need to have ten posts on the DIS Boards in order to send a private message.)Ha! It seems we all have some paranoia it looks like we need to get over!
I also started putting our toothbrushes in the dishwasher after every use and still do that, too! I figured that I don't reuse forks or glasses without washing them, so why would I constantly reuse germy toothbrushes?!? I can tell you that it has made a huge difference!! Now, I will also say that the toothbrush companies don't recommend repeated washing, but all of our toothbrushes are still going strong after hundreds of dishwasher cycles.
Oh my gosh, what a great idea! Wish I had thought of that with all the sharing of viruses we do in our house~
Hope it works for your family, too! We've dreamed about and planned for this cruise for so long that it's easy to be worried about the things that aren't in our control, like weather delays and germs.
Someone asked a few posts ago about germ prevention strategies. In 2007, I was a bone marrow match for a complete stranger and had to stay healthy for the donation even though I worked in a middle school with 1,400 germ carriers that year! I started using "Wet Ones" wipes before every meal outside of my home, and still do! I also started putting our toothbrushes in the dishwasher after every use and still do that, too!

Here's a double dose of
Interesting that you used Wed Ones, because I just discovered info about them today. Since we're flying in the day before, I'm worried about picking up nasty stuff on the plane that would rear it's ugly head 24 hours later. I was looking up info on stuff like Clorox wipes, and those don't kill the noroviruses, apparently. The chemical that has been shown to possibly kill it is actually in the Wet Ones wipes! So I'm planning to get the travel pouches of those and used them religiously the week before and during the cruise, as well as wipe down the stuff the kids will touch on the plane. Also, some hand sanitizers now have this chemical in them, and the thought is they're more effective then regular alcohol based ones. The chemical is benzethonium chloride. I'll be getting some of this hand sanitizer, probably the Gold Bond version that has it. Here's a link to another thread that talked about this on the DISboards: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2617502 Hopefully this link works...
