Forgive my ignorance but what is a lime green mickey lol?? I am thinking it is one of the paint sample cards or something along those lines?

Yes lol, you get them in the paint section and "Lime" is the color of the dis (I don't remember why this particular color)...

I HAD to go to Home Depot today for staple gun staples so of course I got my lime green Mickey!

We will be watching for other green Mickey's! We plan to go to Parrot's Cay ( if everyone & everything is cooperating!) when we board. Last time we went to the buffet, so we are excited to try PC.

My poor kiddos have to go to school that morning (Mean Mom!) so they will be ready to eat when we get there.

Oh, and Partridg4ever, I'm...um 39 too..... I WISH!!!

yeah, right. Look for an old frazzled mom with 3 kids and 2 Grandmas ( one with a purse full of bacon she stole from the breakfast buffet) and a dh with a fruity drink ( his perfect idea of cruising). That's us!

I would LOVE to be able for my kids to go to school in the morning and then hop on a cruise for the afternoon. We live 12 hours from WDW. Any closer and I'd be dangerous.

I'll be 40 in September, but no point in rounding up.

The bacon comment made me laugh. My mom's purse is AMAZING. It's almost a game for us. My DH or one of the kids will say, "I sure wish I had a ____." And Mom will rummage in her purse and come up with it. His side of the family still talks about when they were all at the hospital waiting for DD14 to be born. Someone mentioned wanting a mint and Mom pulled out about a pound of assorted candies.

That is just like Grandmother's purse. One day she pulled a half dozen croissants out to there and a crab cake! My children tell everyone that she carries bacon in her purse!

Hi Everyone! I spent some time tonight getting my fish extender stuff together and packing a few things. We leave 2 weeks from yesterday!

I hope to get to the port early enough to board as soon as they open the doors. I think we'll eat at Parrot Cay...always read that it's the same food and a more relaxed atmosphere. But with 3 other families along I'm prepared to go with the flow.

TRcruisers suggested meeting at Parrot Cay when we first board. I think that's a great idea. I'll have a lime green Mickey. I've got a lanyard that someone made me for the last cruise. I can't commit though. I just don't know what the others in my group will want to do. I'm 39, long dark hair, kind of short, DH has been told he looks like John Candy. If you spot me, please come say hello!

Concerning the Fish Extender stuff is everyone doing Homemade or store bought??

I have a mix of stuff...both homemade and store bought, not much homemade though I didn't have the time.

Hi all. I had a couple of minutes to catch up on things here. I have 1 fe made and will make the other fe next week. We have some purchased items and some homemade. The kids really enjoyed researching ideas & making everything. I had a friend working for me this year and had her do some too. I'll probably have her make the other fe because I am going to be swamped trying to get all of my work done before the deadline. Time is flying by. In less than 2 weeks we will be on the ship having fun.

We will be going to PC as soon as we get on board. The kids liked that dining room and the buffet they had. When can we start boarding? I forget. I plan on being there at 11ish.

I have both handmade and store bought. I noticed we have a lot more girls than boys on the kids list.

I just had dh drill holes in the dowels for my fe's. So I am finally done with those ( we have 2 cabins). The children are dying to know what they are for.. but I'm not telling! My 7 yr old thinks she might get mail, like a letter from MIckey or a princess in her pocket.


I plan on being there around 11:30 ish. Drop kids at school, pack truck, pick kids up & head for Port. That is the plan!

We will probably not be there until 1:30pm, we are taking Disney Bus from POP so hopefully we will not miss the meet and greet We picked up our lime green Mickeys from HD. My wife and Daughter will be wearing lime green Tinkerbell Tshirts...I should be wearing a tan Disney Tshirt and probably have a goatee. One of the other FE families are in the cabin next door to us so that will be a plus. I am sure I will post again before Sunday but if not...Happy Easter!

1a)Do we put our names on the gifts that we are giving or are they to be sort of anonymous?
1b) Can we place gifts in FE's anytime during our specific day?

ok, I have a question: if we don't put our name on it is that ok? I already got things packed up!

We won't be hard to miss.. everyone has to wear the shirt I made them or face 'the wrath of Mom'! They are good sports!

For FE gifts I made little tags/labels, I hope that's ok.

I'm trying to get things all together and some packed but I'm still feel scattered and the kids are home for Spring Break this coming week. Yikes!

I totally agree.

 

[Partridge4ever]

Just stopped in for a minute. To answer the FE questions, yes you can deliver any time that's convenient for you. And if something comes up and you don't deliver on your day, it's no problem. I was just trying to be sure we got a little something each day.

You don't have to identify the gift. I'm putting a little address label on mine, but it's not necessary. Some people do a separate thing for the kids. I'm just putting mine in one bag. The families will have to share. I'm just not that organized.

I had planned to do homemade, but as usual time got away from me. We're leaving at 4 am a week from today!

Trying out my countdown that I finally got around to doing:

[Partridge4ever]

Ugh, I can't get the trip countdown to work.

And does anyone know how I can get a dancing pickle? My dd was reading over my shoulder earlier. She thinks he's the cutest thing. She LOVES pickles. Gave them up for Lent. She may make herself sick tomorrow eating them.

 

[FrigulettoEA]

Happy Easter.

 

[FrigulettoEA]

I just noticed that I'm down in the single digits now. I can not wait. My mother is already on me to book another cruise or change our October cruise to a 7 nighter. I think she's excited too.

 

[Partridge4ever]

Dana, that shirt you made is adorable!

Happy Easter everyone! This time next week I'll be at Hollywood Studios!!!!
