I am also ready for a vacation. The days aren't moving fast enough.

We got our DME tags for our BWV stay prior to the cruise late last week. I was hoping to see luggage tags for the cruise early this week. I have switched to counting in days instead of weeks to make it seem closer.

I bet we will get them any day now!!!! I always feel like it's just around the corner when the tags arrive! Can't wait.

Here is the current FE list. These are the people that specifically told me that they wanted to take part in the Fish Extenders. If you want to play, please let me know as soon as you can. The cut off will be July 31. If you have a GTY room, please let me know what your room number is as soon as you get it - otherwise, no one can find you. First names are nice (but not required) as well.

2141 - Pam (pamcarey), Dan, Brian (DS 15), Amy (DD 10)
2150 - Jill (jsolar), Chad, Sam (DS 7), Scott (DS 3)
2518 - Kim (Kimber143), Tom, Tommy (DS 12), Marissa (DD 6)
5004 - Kelly (dkmjgal), Don, Megan (DD 14), John (DS 11)
5127 - Laura, Katie (DD 10), Kayla (DD 5)
5128 - Emily (emilyann415), John, Lily (DD 4)
6089 - Karen (Rominet's Grandma)
6094 - Debbie (DumboFan), Kenny, Kate (DD 12)
6576 - Ken (kpros), Shari (spros), Staci (DD 18)
7020 - Angela (GrumpyBelle), Al, Jason (DS 15), Leah (DD 9)
8032 - Valerie (Rominet), Christophe, (DS 6), (DS 5), (DD 5)
8530 - Cyndi (cyndisun), Scott, Ben (DS 13) (two families in the Roy suite!)

You should get your room numbers several weeks before the cruise. If you don't, stop by my room and leave a note with your room number. I will make sure everyone participating gets an update.

As far as the rules go, it's totally up to each individual. In the past, I've seen people give something small each day. I've seen people give one item only. I've seen people give items geared to the age of the cruiser. So, I guess I'm saying that there are really no rules - as far as I'm concerned. We don't have a big group, so if everyone gives one item on the first day, then the rest of the trip will be dull. So, if you are only planning one item, you may want to wait a few days.

We are planning a couple of small things to space out over the cruise.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

Ken

Ok, our second family is onboard for the FE's!

DH (Paul), DW (Dana), DD9 (Margo) and DS6 (William)
They are in cabin 8530 with us. Please add them to the FE list.

Thanks.

I'm excited. My cruise documents arrived by Fed Ex today. Anybody else receive their's yet? I'm in Canada, so perhaps they send the out of country ones first?

I checked the disney store website and they don't have a decent selection of plain white t-shirts to personalize. They have limited sizes in women's and nothing to fit Katie (plus the women's personalized ones are $19.99 even with free personalization) . Any suggestions to make this easier for all of us? What if they just picked just a matching color of shirt (bright pink, disboard green or something else) and then just arranged a meeting place in the terminal. They could just put their names on the front or back of the shirts so they could find each other). LMK what you think.

Got our luggage tags! They arrived today! We're in Florida so we may be one of the first. Sooooooooo excited, and it definitely makes the cruise seem more real!

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Ken-

Thanks for organizing this! Can I be a pain and ask you to add our kids' names? 8032 - Valerie (Rominet), Christophe (Dh), Max (DS 6), Gabe (DS 5), Sophia (DD 5)

Also, just a little clarification, Karen is actually my mother and the kids' grandma!

We got our tags today! Woo hoo!

Thanks,

Valerie

Hi Kpros,

My family would love to participate in the FE. Please let me know if it is still ok to join. This is our 3rd Disney cruise, but would be the 1st time we have done the FE.

Lisa (leosmom), Shane (husband to Leo's mom) and Leo (4 year old son).

We will be in room 2524

Take care,
Lisa

I was just thinking of going to AC Moore or another craft store and buying a plain white t-shirt and ironing on a transfer..either one I can buy or just using transfer paper in the printer and dowloading an image of her princess. What do you think?

Our luggage tags and cruise docs arrived today

Hubby made a big deal about getting some mail from Disney! I snatched it out of his hands and it was what I was hoping for. How can I make the next month pass quickly???

That sounds like the best idea. Are you going to put her name on it?

Does anyone know, if I booked through a TA, will my cruise docs be sent to HER, and then she will send them to me? This is my first time, so I'm not really sure how it works.

Docs go to travel agents first. Talked to my TA yesterday & she said the docs should be coming in any day.

Apparently the girls have already discussed this and they were planning on putting their names on the back. I think we could probably do something in Word and then print it out on the transfer paper This is unfamiliary territory for me so I'm kind of just flying by the seat of my pants

Hi! dkmjgal and SuzD
It's been a while since I have been on reading all the posts.
Jackie has been keeping me posted and is very excited to meet the girls.
As for the t-shirts you ladies sound very crafty.
It will be easy to spot
my kid,she will be the one with the duct tape holding her t-shirt together.
Can't wait for vacation to arrive!!!

 

[dkmjgal]

YAY..Cruise docs. just arrived!


BIGMAMATrust me...I'm in unchartered waters as well (no pun intended). I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing...should be interesting.
