I'll put you down for Monday Joe, no problem.

We're too quiet. We're almost six months out! There must be something to chat about and pass the time.

How about question of the day....

How will you spend the extra 13 bucks the government is giving you in your paycheck?

I will buy my DMIL a DCL lanyard since she's not a Castaway Club member

God Bless you for taking you DMIL on a cruise. There's a special place for people like you! I would toss mine overboard!!! LOL!!!! Better yet, save myself, I would go overboard.

Hi everyone- my DD(9) and I will be joining you on this cruise! We would love to join the FE group if it's not too late. We are in stateroom #2556. We have been to Disney World many times, but this is our first Disney Cruise. We are counting it down!!

Hey Ally, we're kind of close to each other, I'm in Albany. Welcome!

No it's not too late, just let me know the names of everyone in your cabin and I will add you to the list on p27. I usually have people PM me with the info, so I don't have to search back through the threads, but I think you have to have 10 posts, so just reply on the thread and I will add you to the list! This is our 2nd cruise, our first was this past Nov. If you have any questions feel free to ask, it looks like most of this group has sailed before.

Hi Sharon,

It will be just myself (Lori) and my DD Ally (9). We are already working on getting a fish extender and making magnets and gifts!! We did a short Carnival cruise this past December- a 3-day to the Bahamas. We enjoyed cruising, but Carnival-not so much. We kept staring at the Disney cruise ship with envy! We are super excited for this cruise. I'm sure we will have questions, so thanks in advance!

My mom and dad are also going. I spoke to them tonight and they still don't have their passports. They keep putting it off since they know that they are being processed between one and two weeks.

I am surprising them because they think they have a SPH cabin but I upgraded them to a secret veranda on Deck 6

I will add you guys on the list. We had a Carnival ship next to us in Cozumel, they left about 1/2 hour before, but most were yelling over to our ship that they wished they were on ours instead of theirs! Then we blew our horn and they all really started grumbling. We couldn't have asked for a better first cruise with our kids. So much to do, I don't know how anyone can do less than a 7 day, even that doesn't seem like enough time to do everything you'll want to. You'll both really love this ship. If DD needs any advice on the clubs, I have a 10 yo DS who thinks he is the king of the clubs, very outgoing, and always has a crowd of kids around him.

I will do any day you want -- I would prefer not to deliver on a port day, but other than that, I am flexible. Many thanks for organizing this!

Julie,
I listed delivery times, take a look and let me know what time on a non port day you want, and I will plug you in there.

Everyone else can look and let me know, the slots will fill as I get messages, so if you don't want a port day, or if you do please let me know. I left a few extra spots for now in case we get any more people who want to do the exchange. Before I fill all 3 spots on the sea days, (I put 3 on to cover any extra people coming in) I would like to have at least one spot on each of the days covered, so we will have at least one delivery every day. If I don't eventually hear from you (we still have plenty of time) I will, about a month out, plug you into whatever time spot I have left. The post is on p27 #399

Make it a real surprise, book yourself on Carnival. That ship leaves port right before ours!!!

Lol. I think Joe is a good son and SIL and gets along with his DMIL.

I have learned to get along with my DMIL & DFIL but would prefer to not get trapped on a ship with them.

Hi Sharon- can you please put us down for any of the at sea days, it doesn't matter what time slot, whatever you need to fill is fine with us! Thank you!

I put you down for Thursday morning, if that's not ok, let me know.


I'm thinking the end of May for the cutoff for joining the FE? That still will give people 3 months to still join us, and then it will give everyone 3 months to get there stuff together. Is that enough time for everyone? Let me know if that is ok, if not we can make it anytime you guys want.

End of May is fine with me - I will say that no matter what cut off we make, there will always be a few to jump in at the last minute and want to participate, and everyone has to decide at that point whether they have enough or not to include them - it just always happens!

The end of May sounds great! I've been working very hard trying to pay off DCL and save a little for room service tips

Love those mickey bars.
