April 25th It's going to be a Dream

[jhelms]

Thanks! We actually have five kids total but just bringing the baby w us on this trip. The other kids range from 9-14 yrs old. They are a little jealous but mom and dad needed a weekend away! We are looking forward to some alone time due to its a small world nursery. We are planning on running castaway 5k! However can't seem to find out if we can push baby in jogging stroller! She rides along w us on lots of rides nursery won't open till 9am that morning so we will figure that out on board

Here's someone on the board talking about it. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3045148

I'm not a runner but it sounds like so much fun. I might just try it.

My family of 4 will be on the dream 25th anybody doing FE.

Coffeeguy- there is a link to a google doc FE on an earlier page!

I think all 4 of us are doing the 5k. My little DD is only
8, but she has done races before. We are skipping her first 8k for this cruise!

What is the 5k about? I have dd11 dd16
We were on the Sandy hurricane cruise and are
Looking to try the aqua duck it was all closed on our trip.

Thanks HN!!! I have been looking for an answer for weeks.

The 5K is a fun-run offered at Castaway Cay. There are a couple previous links with info...here is another one!

Can't wait!!!

Trying to talk the family into the 5k. The race starts at 8:30am and they like to wrap it up before 10 am. So no worries about finishing the race. Walkers are welcome too. Plus the racers disembark 1st off the ship. No registration necessary, you can decide in the morning if you want. You just have to be at the meeting at 8ish (potentially the bar - Evolution) but it will be posted in the navigator. And all the Shwag!

And of course the obvious...
...a 5k erases ALL calories eaten on the cruise!

Well, it looks like there's a lot of interest in fish extenders for our trip, but it doesn't look like a list has been started yet. I know that most of us are new to the fish extender thing, but let's just go for it! It might just be a small number of us, but that will give us even more room to get CREATIVE!

It looks like most of the other FE threads maintain their sign-ups in a Google doc, so I will attempt to do so here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtLlCYcF1aXgdF9QTGJKbXVURzV0a1VFMV83b3VMTWc#gid=0

If anyone prefers a different approach, feel free to chime in. I'm just muddling through this myself. And for people who still want to learn a bit more, here are 2 of the best threads I have encountered:

Best Fish Extender Ideas: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2919223

I also added a spot for folks who don't want to do fish extenders but might still want to say "hi." And Keira1387, I don't want to hijack your thread, so please let me know if you'd rather I post this on a new one.

This will be fun!

Thanks CoffeeGuy.

Is anyone doing "Door Ear" magnets. I have a few templates and they printed out great. The main photobucket of designs ( http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2172891 ) doesn't let you download but I have a few:

Mickey ears plain;
Pirate Ears;
Minnie ears with bow;
Viking ears;
Sorcerer Mickey ears;

If you'd like a copy of the files send me a private email with your email and I will send you a copy.

 

[Richards04]

HNW999-
I had trouble downloading them as well! I'm not sure how I did it, but I managed to get most of them downloaded...some I tried 4 and 5 times and they finally worked. I figured it's because I'm new at all of this!
I have not printed mine out yet...too many to choose from! Let me know if you want any of the others, I can send them to you to anyone else

 

[Richards04]

HNW999- I just saw your PM last night! Check your inbox for my reply

Question about the FEs.....

Are we doing a gift per cabin/person everyday or once for the 3 nights? Just trying to get an idea....Anyone?? Thanks!

 

[Richards04]

Hi Princess!
I am planning on making one delivery for each cabin! Not sure what everyone else is planning...

 

[aggie3]

Same here...one delivery to each cabin.

 

[HNW999]

Me too. 1 delivery per room.

 

[JoyousJeni]

Hi There -- Late joining up, but totally excited about the cruise! I'm going to sign our family up for FE group as well.

We've got three cabins and are ready to go! This is an annual cruise for our family so any questions you might have I can probably answer.
