April 29, 2012 4 night Bahamas Dream

[cp_princess]

Finally started making my FE's the other night. Got as far as cutting the fabric. I was going to sew it by hand but I think I might wait till I'm at my parent's house to use the sewing machine - I don't know why I was thinking by hand would be relaxing with an almost 1 year old around I did pick up some FE gifts the other day but still have to get or make most of them. So much to do and so little time left - only 32 days left! But really I only have like 20 because we'll be in Disney on the 23rd and I know I won't have any craft time in the week leading up to it.

Bought more FE supplies today. I plan on starting the FE itself tonight. Hopefully it all goes smoothly!
I cannot believe we are only 32 days out. The time will fly by and I'll probably be putting things together last minute!

Picked up our cruise documents & luggage tags from AAA today!!

Just can't wait for all the fun!!

I have been working on FE gifts non-stop for the past week. I have gotten a lot finished and I'm super excited to share. My son keeps walking in the room while I work on them and he's like, what are you doing? Who are these for? I keep telling him it's for the cruise and he will get goodies too. He's like, well how do you know their names? Five year olds are so curious about everything.

 

[kaismommie]

I thought working up 23 adult and 12 kid FE gifts was gonna be stressful, but I learned that if I do a little here and a little there, it's not so bad
Excited to see what everyone works up!!

I haven't gotten my documents yet from AAA, but hopefully they will arrive soon.

Which totals 23 adults and 12 children

I was looking at the Final FE list and wanted to be sure no one was forgotten, since the total posted was 23 adults and 12 children? But there are only 33 names listed. So, I got a little confused and wanted to be sure everyone got something Unless I can't count, which is so possible. Thanks!!!

I WANT AN UPGRADE! And a cold, fruity, rummy boat drink!

 

[jerseygirl74]

BTW I counted 21 adults and 12 children. That what I bought for.

Only FOUR more weeks to go

Is anyone else coming down a few days earlier? What do you plan on doing?

We are coming down that Friday and I'm trying to figure out what we should do that Saturday. When we get there, we are going to go to Downtown Disney. Saturday, I'm going back and forth on what to do. I was thinking of taking him to Islands of Adventures, but not sure if it will be a waste of money or if we should go or not, since he's only 5.

What plans do you guys have?

Anyone watching the beautiful dream sail away with me on the Port Canaveral Web cam???? She looks amazing as usual - just 4 more weeks till that's us!

 

[cp_princess]

We will be there from the Tuesday before. But we are only doing Disney parks -and only 2 of the 4 at that, as we won't have a car and our little one is too tiny for much at either Universal Park. Can't wait but I have soooo much to do before then!

I've never watched it from the web cam. I will have to look into doing that this coming up weekend.

 

[cp_princess]

Leilani - I get the Port Canaveral Web Cam on my Facebook News Feed. If you friend them on FB they send you the sail-away list each day. I probably won't get to watch it this week - I'll be at my MIL's for Easter. But the following week or the one after that I hope to. But April is going to be a busy month for us so hopefully I'll get to view a few those and won't get too distracted and forget. It's so much fun to watch - it really get's me excited for the cruise. I showed it to my parents the week we were at their house and they were asking all sorts of questions about what we were seeing on the ship, and where our room would be and such. It's a great family experience to get others as motivated as us planners lol! So if you do watch make sure to let us know - we can have a virtual sail away party!

hi there, just checking in for my daughter Jennifer, still no cabin number as yet but should be soon and will post it as soon as we have it! Is there a dismeet once onboard? They will be arriving and staying at port orleans french quarter on the 25th, spending a few days to do the parks,they are really getting excited now and have started the fe gifts!

We just made our fish extenders and we decided not to do names on each one (mostly because I am not good at embroidery!)

Instead we have put pictures on each person's pocket. Here's the legend:

6566
Henry = horse
Ed = dinosaur
Sally = peacock

5552
Paul = baseball glove
Peggy = monkey

I hope this is not too confusing!

Just wanted to let you know I labeled the gifts with names. If i put them in the wrong pocket you will still know who gets what . I did a combined for couples, hope everyone likes everything.

Only 3 weeks and 3 days left to go . WOOHOOO!!! Cant wait!

I will be sure to note this
I have everyone's in their own separate bags with their names on it. So it I happen to put it in the wrong slot, I'm sure you guys will figure it it

By the way. Very creative idea.
