My DD and I made our FE too and although it's not Ebay quality either we are prcoud of ourselves too! I DO NOT sew and DD is just learning so we took a shortcut (gotta love velcro-)

Today is crunchtime! Have to finish packing...both kids have parties tonight at friends' houses and DH is taking me out to dinner for my b-day. Have to finish packing..but have to wash our shorts first

We leave tomorrow evening. We are staying in Orlando for a couple of days and then on to the ship! We can't wait.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

SAFE TRAVELS!!!

We have been DVC members since 2003, but this is our first cruise. Less than a week away and we cant wait. I made my own fish extender because... well you know... I'm Mr Incredible!

Hello!

We're in room 2518 ... Sawyer.

We leave tomorrow morning for two days at OKW and then off to Country Inn & Suites on Monday. One day, the trip is weeks away and the next it's time to get packing.

So excited! Although the packing is soooooooooooooo tough. I did finish my fish extender gifts and door magnets, though, so hooray for that!

Can't wait to meet you all. Safe travels!

Hi Everyone

I hope everyone had a safe trip home! We made it back to the Florida house at about 8:45am. Flying back to California tomorrow afternoon.

I would like to thank everyone who participated in the FE activity. You all were very creative and generous in your gifts. For such a small group, you guys went all out! Thank you all very much for the great gifts.

We had a great cruise! But to short. I didn't want to get off!!

I hope to see you all on a future cruise!

Hi everyone!

Home again in Ft. Lauderdale. Facing mountains of laundry but very thankful to have had such an awesome cruise.

Like Ken, I want to thank everyone for the wonderful FE gifts. Our kids loved seeing the gifts in our FE, and I was amazed at everyone's creativity and generosity. And a special thanks to Ken for arranging it all! Also, thanks to Cyndi for hosting the gathering in the Roy O Suite. What a treat!

Hope everyone has a smooth trip home. If you get a chance, share some of your favorite photos. I'd love to see them.

-Kim

It has been a long day, but we are just getting home.
Although I didn't meet anyone, I still feel like I know everyone on this board.
Thank you to everyone for the great treats in the FE. This was the first time I participated in the FE. At first I was very overwhelmed with everything. The first night running around the boat to every floor on each side, I came back to the room and told my husband I wasn't going to do this on our next cruise. However, as time went on and we came to the room to see what great goodies were in our FE, I soon realized how wonderful a group this was!!
We had the greatest time on the cruise as well as coming to the room to retrieve our FE goodies.
Thank you to everyone who participated. The gifts were amazing!! I loved each and every one of them!
If I can figure out how to post pictures, I will do so!!
Maybe we can see each other on a future cruise.
July 5, 2011 Dream anyone???

We are also just getting home--after 9 hours of sitting at MCO waiting for our flight (I booked a later flight out). What a fun cruise. I also said that we would not be participating in FE again...we had to bring an extra piece of luggage just for all the gifts and then running all over the ship to pass them out after long, but very enjoyable days....However, it was exciting to see my kids (and DH) excited to go back to the room or wake up first thing in the morning and go to the door just to see if there was anything new in our FE. My DH says we have to start soon on our next FE gifts and our trip is still over a year away. Anyways, we did want to thank everyone for all of the great gifts. All were greatly appreciated. Well I guess it is time to edit my countdown and start planning my next one--next August it will be Alaska--I will deeply miss Castaway Cay.

Safe travels to everyone.

Greetings from New Jersey! We finally made it home at 2:00am this morning We were delayed at the airport a few hours due to storms here in NJ...but better safe than sorry .

I too would like to thank everyone for the "wonder"ful gifts we received. We had a lot of fun. I enjoyed meeting those who attended the meet and running into different people along the way during the cruise.

GRUMPYBELLE - we rebooked also for next August. We are scheduled right now for the Aug. 16th Alaska. Which one are you going on?

Thanks again....this was a very memorable cruise for my family. We met a LOT of really nice people and felt like this was probably our best cruise as far as the other people who were cruising and the staff. Our servers Georgi and Kerry were awesome and we are hoping to see them again in Alaska. Our kids had an AMAZING time in the Teen program and also the Out & About (what a great program).

It's sad that it's over but we have some great memories! Thanks everyone!
