Well this is my first DIS boards post ever. I just added my family to the FE list! Hopefully you will all enjoy the gifts. This will be our first cruise, so we are just a bit excited! My mom Gail or "Hornet" has been planning this trip for a very long time. I can't believe it is almost here. I look forward to meeting everyone at the meet and greet.

So adorable!

Thanks! He is our little blessing!! Can't wait to see his reaction to all the sights and sounds!

 

[Greg M]

Very cute pictures!! He is obviously a Disney fan by birthright!

Absolutely! He loves all things Mickey so apparently it is an inherited trait!

 

[Greg M]

OMG what a cute baby and what special pictures. I can just imagine how many pics you will take on the cruise with all the Disney stuff surrounding you. Are we having a M & G so we can meet this darling boy?

Gail

Thank you! We are bringing extra memory sticks indeed and have already discussed photo packages I am looking for infant pirate ears now for Pirate Night!!! We are up for a meet and greet as well!

Just used the Target debit card trick I learned here on the boards to buy out EVERY Disney gift card at my local Target store! You get 5% off with a Target RedCard. We're going to use those to pay for the shipboard account - including the down payment for a dummy date, of course

Whats the trick at Target debit card ?

Whats the trick at Target debit card ?

If you use a Target debit or credit card, you get 5% off everything (besides Target gift cards). So I applied for a debit card, which just comes out of your normal checking account like your normal debit card would. I bought $1,000 worth of Disney gift cards and paid $950.

Verified with my travel agent, to pay for our shipboard account I just need to take them to the desk when I board. To pay for our next cruise in March, I just need to give the TA all the numbers and she will apply them as payment in full to Disney.

It's a pain to have a million $50 gift cards, and you should keep them until after your cruise - any refunds go back to the card they were paid with. And 5% isn't going to change the world. BUT - I figure between the OBCs from the TA and booking onboard, the 10% off from booking onboard, 5% off at Target - it all adds up!

I am pretty sure that my patients and coworkers are ready for me to hurry up and go on this cruise so I will shut up about it... haha silly puppies... they will be in for weeks of "post cruise pixie dust withdrawal syndrome" when I return.

Lol! One of my patients just asked my on Friday, " weren't you going on a cruise?" He was then subjected to a rundown of how many days til we leave, all the pre cruise plans, the meet and greet and all the latest on the FE! Poor guy, he just asked a simple question!

Haha!! I can totally relate! Luckily several of my coworkers are Disney-heads as well so I have back-up if needed. I guess it makes matters worse that we are also planning our Nov trip to Disney World... yes I am addicted... and I am absolutely fine with that!

Looks like we have our final list for the FE exchange. As we get closer we can figure what to do if some get a change in cabin # when they arrive. We could have central cabin we post the list or something. Any sugguest would be great

We could make an announcement at the meet and greet if any FE cabins change.

I've been talking about Disney so much that one of my patients decided to plan her own trip now!!

That has happened to me several times as well... I think we should be part time Disney travel agents!

Haven't had a chance to read the posts but I'll be on this cruise. It's my first one.
