If I get this bag to use for FE, will it work or it is too wide?

"This vibrant, shiny bag measures about 15 1/2" across X 11 1/2" tall X 3 1/2" wide, the handles are about 10" tall"

Txs!

It's hard to predict what the space under the fish/starfish/seahorse will be on the Dream. If you're talking about a tote bag, then it will probably hang nicely in any space.

It is a tote bag; I LOVE it, and I will be able to use it after we finish FE exchange; I think, I am going to order and I will hope it will fit

I saw somebody mentioned that character dining was available and I saw Cinderella at RP during dinner. Did anybody learn anything else about it?
Also, I have been looking for pictures of menus and daily navigators, but so far I only so photos that were hard to read. If you see those, please post a link

Scootch (Amy) just posted on 4/14/11 thread: Menus

Hey all!
It's called a "rashguard" because I believe it started out as a way to protect people from the sand, shells, etc... when surfing, bodysurfing, boogeyboarding, etc... generally just playing in the ocean. Now they make them with all kinds of sun protection, etc...
I am in full FE gift making mode! We have a teacher workday today so I took advantage and went to Michael's to pick up some crafting supplies. Now all I want to do is work on my ideas and I have to work!! Maybe I can sneak out early...
Stay warm!
Debbie

Ditto! I have been absorbed on the hand made FE thread! I am sooooo not crafty but I am great at stealing good ideas!!

It is absolutely amazing to me that I am not the craziest Disney fanatic and that there are sooo many more out there that are even worse (or better depending on how u look at it!).

Hello Everyone, haven't been on and I was just catching up.

In regards to the FE, you do not need a sewing machine. I made mine with mini totes purchased at Michaels and glue gunned them on to a strip of material with a dowel at each end to hang it with. I got iron on printer paper and put our names on each tote, cut off the handles and glued them on so they made pockets. Really it was not that hard and I got everything at michaels then downloaded the "Walt" font. Trust me when I say if I can do it anyone can.

Deb T it is a really good thing I did not see your post earlier because you would have missed your root canal. She goes out on my birthday and I would have actually taken you up on your offer and charged the whole thing to a credit card to worry about later! I would have sold my soul to Elvis to get on that MV. Your platinum status made me drool all the more!!!!!

Sorry kids Mommy won't be home on her birthday, I am blowing you all off for a cruise with a nice dis'er who I met on-line. If I thought there was a way to do it I would fly out tonight only guess what? More snow here in Maine on the coast! 6 - 10 inches I hear. But thank you Deb for the offer because I am just crazy enough to do it!!! And it was so tempting to "DREAM" about it.

It was 14 below here the other night for pity's sake!!!!

I could not get any reservations for Palo. I went on the 18th and everything was pretty much gone, seriously! My DH says honey, not to worry we are going to have a great time no matter what. Love him.

Have a great night everyone. Wendy

GTY cabins are starting to be assigned for this cruise!!! Exciting!!!

If you're participating in the FE Exchange and booked a GTY cabin, please be sure to let me know what your cabin number is when you find out!

I got all excited when I saw your post Deb, but we're still #GTY . I've been checking for a while now. Will I get that aft balcony I really want (a 6B and that's what gty category I booked) or will we get pixie dusted??!! The anticipation is killing me .

I have been all over that homemade FE thread and I did find one thing I'm in the process of making. I think I have the adults set, but I'm pretty stumped on the kids...are there any with allergies??

 

[mommybean]

Wow...I wish I could get on here more often - I get so far behind in my reading

I read something today that said the Dream horn played more than one song and of course had to find a link http://www.examiner.com/disney-crui...ge-to-hear-every-disney-dream-horn-song-video

Won't be long now - I'm SO excited!!!!

Hi Wendy,
Thank you for posting your tips on making FE. It is very timely because guess what I ordered about an hour ago - YES, blank tote bags!!! I had one left from DD B-day party and I tried an iron transfer with her name and IT WORKED !!!
I ordered a few different ones in different sizes. I was thinking just to hang it, but now I might follow your advice and glue a few of them together. What is the size of the bags you used? The smallest I have is 6x4. Is it too small?
They are really chip too ($1.50-3). And I got another idea: I will leave one of them for characters signing
FE is already fun, fun, fun!!! and I love today's ideas!

P.S. - yes, I am hyper and feel like dancing because our cruise is getting closer!!!!!! yes, we expect 9+inches of snow tomorrow but maybe it's a good thing because I really need to work on ideas for decorations of my bags

Good morning everyone! Excuse me for not knowing some of the abbreviations, but what is FE?

We are booked on the 4/17/11 Dream!!!!
I'm ridiculously excited and can barely thing of anything else

We have only been on one prior Disney cruise back in 2002 with our children. Now they are at college, and we decided to do an adults only trip on the newest ship. My DH loves Disney as much as I do, but has some reservations about going on a Disney cruise without kids. I absolutely do not

We are in a Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with veranda in a guaranteed category 6A. Since I've only done this cruise once before, and only one other cruise on a different line, I really don't know what this means?

Can any of you tell me? When will I know what our room # is? Is this an undesirable thing?

Thank you for any info you can provide, and see you on the ship!!!!

Being GTY or in a guaranteed category of 6A means you will have a least a 6A cabin or better. GTY's are normally assigned 45 days or closer to the cruise date.

I'm GTY also and just checked to see if my cabin has been assigned yet and it hasn't.

When did you book this cruise? Was it recently? 'Cause this cruise is pretty full and regularly shows no available cabins on the Disney website. (Just curious.)

OMG! Have you guys checked out our kids on the teen and tween thread lately?? Finally my daughter Maddie got onto the teen version and is chatting away with Leah about photography! But they've made it past page 1 which is a miracle!

Which one of you ladies is Leah's mom btw?

Then over on the tween thread (which my other daughter forgot about!), Gabby is chatting away with everyone. Katya is on there, Jake, Connor, Elise, Will, etc. I copied one of Gabby's posting because I thought you'd all get a kick out of it:

She said, " PS: Jake ikr the parents posts r soooooooooo long i must tke lke 4eva 2 trype those!!!!"

Our postings are not sooooooooooooooooooo long, they're just sooo long...!

I feel like I'm invading their privacy a little bit by checking them out, but they are so cute and entertaining!

Every time I hear those horns, I get a little teary-eyed.

You should join us more often. we are a very entertaining bunch, right girls?!?

Not to mention most of us are inundated with SNOW every other day and are commiserating together. In fact, tonight's snow storm decided to embark on us here in CT rather early, causing my blackberry to flutter with an email from the school - Early Dismissal.... duh, what was your first clue BOE?? The snow coming down as early as 7:00AM????

Can you see I'm a little bitter?

I know...I would LOVE to but things have been so busy I will have to make it my goal to log in at least 2-3 times a week
My daughter started posting on the teen board too - she's "Swimmie" - but she hasn't had alot of time on there either because of school and swim practice.

The snow is crazy!!! We're in SC and it's already snowed TWICE!!! ...3 times if you count the flurry we had the other day - lol. I know I will get blasted for this, but I LOVE the snow!!! (sorry) I'm originally from MA and I miss having it (bcause NORMALLY we get none here).

 

[guarn3md]

Paid in full - as of today!!! Now I can look forward to next week when I can finally get on and try to book our dolphin excursion.
Started working on FE gifts last night! I love what I am making, if I must say so myself!! Making the gifts is making me even more excited for the trip.
To all Northeaster's - how is your weather?? We are the getting the full mix of it right now - rain, sleet, snow, etc... All the counties around us are closed. We were on a 2 hour delay this morning because it is a teacher workday - so our wonderful superintendant felt it was ok for us to come to work! Just waiting for the ok to go home...
Stay safe and warm!!!
Debbie

Connor loves the tween board - makes him feel like a tween...since he is 9 1/2, but he wants to be a tween. He told me the other day that they should put pictures up so that they can see what each other looks like and be able to recognize each other on the boat!!! I told him there would possibly be a meet the first day. I loved the kids "dissing" our posts...I don't think they are that long either!

[rdevine10]

Early dismissal for us here too.... and my 5 year had canceled PM

That on top of the delay yesterday (and the roads were so bad here I couldnt get either of them to school- bus doesnt come up our hill in bad weather). UGHHH!!!! and tomorrow isnt looking great too.

This cruise CANT come fast enough!

 

[momtoleasawav]

Which one of you ladies is Leah's mom btw?

I"m Leah's Mom! We live in Massachusetts. She is very excited to go on the cruise and has taken charge of making our FE and gifts. I am really happy she is talking to kids before the cruise. Hopefully they will have a great time hanging out on the ship!

I saw that post
K. is new to internet chatting = parent supervision is a MUST ; I agree - they are very cute, entertaining, and friendly .. You don't invade their privacy bs this board is open for general public and I am sure we are not the only ones peeking at them It's a nice reminder for them to be careful what they post

o-o, I am afraid this post will be soooooooooo long

You are so funny even when you are bitter!

It was snowing so hard this morning; when we turned on Weather chanel they said "nothing is coming down right now....snow will start late afternoon" Did they even looked out their window/door Before 11 am we got at least 4 inches of snow but, I guess, it is considered "nothing" this winter. It gives them great excuse not to clean/salt/sand streets giving some of our friends Dis-ers extra work and income towing cars.
