Welcome, rjhornbeak! This will be my second cruise as Platinum, and my DH's first as Platinum.

I wish we were cruising now instead of battening down the hatches for the hurricane!

I love the logo that you made for the past cruise... That was sooo cute and creative. I am not a very creative person or I would try to help design one. I sure hoe someone will create one cause I love having magnets for the fridge with the groups logo on it.. I know I am cheesey what can I say...

 

[dvc deernut]

just for reference, here's the logo i designed for our dec., 2007 cruise. Anyone who wants to run with a logo is welcome to use my idea!

and this one is jim modeling the tee shirt that we made up. He still wears it to work now and then!

beth

beth i think that is a great idea. What about red shirts?

 

[dvc deernut]

we sail in 3 weeks so i hope the island will have been dredged and cleaned up so we can dock there. On our member cruise we go to the island twice and are at sea 1 day.

My wife (Jan) and I will be sailing on 12/4. This will be our 8th Disney cruise. Our last one was on board the Wonder in Alaska. Looking forward to checking out the Dream.

THIS IS OUR 8th CRUISE ALSO. I JUST BOOKED THE HIGH TEA FOR PALOS. COULDNT GET IN THE BRUNCH. WE LOVE THE BRUNCH. NEVER DONE THE HIGH TEA.

My computer is giving me a hard time today and I can't quote, but thanks for the compliments on the logo!

I still have the original artwork somewhere on this thing, so I'll make some changes and see what happens. What I did back then was made the logo, and people downloaded it, printed it and put it wherever they wanted. A lot of people had it on the shirt. I think this time I might make myself a tote bag, too, since I plan on carrying my crocheting everywhere I go. I'm making snowflakes and angels for my Christmas decorations and I know that they won't be done before I leave home. I'm just hoping they're finished before Christmas!

I'm not sure what will happen with the rest of this weekend. We're just outside (about 50 feet) of the evacuation area, but we're on high ground so I doubt we'll have to leave. I'm guessing that the power will go out at some point, so you may not hear from me for a while.

Good luck to anyone else in the path of Hurricane Irene!

I have updated the list of everyone going on the cruise on the first page. If I missed anyone, let me know.

The FE is starting to get big! I'm going to need an extra suitcase

 

[MoranClan]

Do we have a rough estimate of FE children and adults, Boys and girls?

We did, indeed, lose power and just got it back at 5 PM yesterday! We didn't have to evacuate, and we had no damage at home. Long Branch, the city where I work, was not so fortunate. We had a probable tornado, two houses right on the shoreline destroyed (one was made of glass!), trees and electric lines down and flooding all over. It will be quite a while before they finish cleaning up the mess!

This weekend I'll see what I can do with the logo, right after I finish grocery shopping to replace everything that was in my fridge and freezer. I won't be offended if nobody wants to use the logo!

I hope everyone else affected by Irene is fine!

The fish extender people are highlighted in red on the first page, to the best of my knowledge. It may be a bit off as DVC deernut is the official keeper of the list.

My husband and two children will be on the Dec. 4th Dream cruise and would love to be involved with the FE.

Hi! Boy, am I glad that we don't have to work tomorrow---I am so not used to this staying up late! I need to try to get Remy and Palo reservations---and of course that oh so important early check-in time at the port!

Hurricane Irene (like Isabel a few years ago) really did a number on us here in Maryland! Finally got our power back on Thursday---I really hated throwing away all that spoiled food:-( We haven't completely re-stocked since who knows what Katia will do. Sigh.

I like the logo idea! It makes the trip more personal. I also like the group picture idea too! Did anyone like my name-tag idea?

I know the FE is in great hands Is anyone up for participating in a Secret Mickey exchange? It is like a secret santa---you don't have to participate in the FE exchange to be included---you can do one or both or none! On our Panama Canal cruise we had couples or singles matched up to leave little gifts and then one big gift at a group meet/reveal. Someone asked what our favorite Disney character was, color, food, drink, hobby, etc... I think we had a $30.00 limit but we did it over 4-5 days of a 15 night cruise. We can do an abbreviated version with one small gift and one larger one with a $15.00 limit. What does everyone think?

I've never been on a Disney cruise during the Christmas holiday season---come to think of it---I've never been to WDW in November or December. I am really looking forward to seeing everything decorated!

We are staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge before this back-2-back cruise and I'll have one night at the Swan before I fly home. We cheated on the Mouse back in January and stayed at the Hard Rock hotel at Universal---Tom is a huge Harry Potter fan. The Hard Rock was really really nice---I would so stay there again!

For my upcoming March cruise another friend and I will stay at the Beach Club (her favorite hotel) and for my 17th wedding anniv. cruise next October, Tom says (as of now) that we can stay at the Grand Floridian! I don't think he knows just how expensive it is! But I was really really smart---when I realized I would be going to WDW 3 times in 1 year, I purchased an annual pass! That should save me some money

I hope that everyone is well and happy!
