For anyone who cares....5 weeks from right now I will be at the airport; the first step on my way to the ship!

At dinner tonight we were having the conversation - in 4 weeks from now we will be at the Poly ... and then we went out and starting buying items for the FE. Can't wait.

Lisa was "fired" as a moderator. I made a couple inquiries and no one seems to be saying much. The most I got was that she was "too strict" or "too controversial." The same person did praise her organizational skills and the work that she did with the pricing of the 2011 cruises. She's been gone for a couple weeks, so the moderators knew that she wouldn't be organizing the Dream info.

Frankly, I liked her, and I'm sorry to see her gone.

I don't know anything about board politics here, but I am very sorry to see her gone too. I have had THIS THREAD bookmarked for months. I just went back to it and it's all gone. She really compiled some fantastic information that I would love to have.

My kids asked if we could go on the boat today because it was Saturday. They remember that we are leaving on a saturday. Just not today.

You need a countdown calendar. They have some very cute ones. If you want one for your kids, let me know, I'll send you a link to some to pick out.

We made a countdown chain of construction paper, each week is a different color and everyone gets to take turns removing the links, they love it!

The wrist band database reflects 42 adult bands sold and 23 youth bands sold.
Get them while you can the adults are almost gone..... only 58 left

You are also springank?
IU think I may have added you twice the database. Once under each title.

 

[HallsofVA]

With 100 of each, I think we'll be okay either way.

The wrist band database reflects 48 adult bands sold and 28 youth bands sold.

As noted above, I think we have 100 of each size coming our way, not 50 each (since they gave us 100 free).

There is a wrist band sizing sheet posted several threads back if anyone is curious about which size is best. It looks like we have the Adult and "Child" sizes coming. The Child size can also fit a small adult (fits me, and I'm not small).

Me neither....I wish I was as small as my wrists reflect!

 

[Scooby3x1y]

Yep, we have 100 of each size.

Ok well I stand corrected

I'll go check it out. This is confusing. I told you I was new to this type of communication. I'm much more proficient at Facebook.

I tried to download the link you posted a while ago, but I have a mac and it didn't recognize the format. So we are going to go with the colored construction paper chain idea as soon as we get back to Illinois from North Dakota.

Also, do anyone know if there are any allergies to think about with our FE exchange?

I mentioned it earlier, and nobody said anything. I would just go with what you're going to do. If they can't have it, there will be plenty of other stuff.

I'll post a pic, then you can save. What characters do your kids like?

I was thinking of shipping my FE gifts to the cabin instead of carrying them on. Has anyone shipped items before and how well does it work? I just don't want to lose anything in the meantime.

I was thinking about the same thing, mostly because I haven't ever given this much in my FE's in the past. BUT....I think I've decided with an extra suitcase, leaving us plenty of room for souvie's.

Link to the cruise FAQ thread really great information in alphabetical order.

Boxes Sent the Ship Ahead of Cruise - PLEASE follow these instructions carefully!!!!!! UPDATED AS OF 2/25/2009
• ONE box per stateroom, no exceptions.
• The package must have the guest full name, ship, sailing date, stateroom number or GTY if you have not been assigned a stateroom number.
• The package also must have a packing slip attached to the outside of the box that details the contents of the package. For prescriptions, a copy of the prescription is sufficient. Your list may or may not be read but it must have one. Write packing slip on the outside of the envelope.
• NO FOODS/DRINKS OF ANY KIND, LIQUOR OF ANY KIND, FIREARMS, ETC.. Items that cannot be shipped to the Disney Cruise Line Warehouse and delivered to the ship include: food products (any and all food products including baby food/formula), beverages (liquor, water, etc.), chemicals, and luggage. These items will not be accepted at the warehouse and will be returned. This may cause the dogs to hit on your box and that would be a bad thing.
• The required size of the cartons you are shipping down have to be about the size of a record storage box 12 inches on a side and should not weigh more than 20 lbs. (This has been asked personally by Dave Adams who is the owner)

Address your package(s) to:
Disney Cruise Line Warehouse
Guest Name / Stateroom # (GTY, if you don't know what it is when you send the package)
8633 Transport Drive
Orlando, FL 32832
Phone: 407-566-8196

In the bottom left corner of the top of the package put the following information: ATTN: HOUSEKEEPING
*Name
*Sail Date
*Ship
*Stateroom Number
*Packing slip that details contents of the package (for prescriptions, a copy of the prescription is sufficient)
• Packages must arrive by Friday by 3:00pm for the 7-Night Cruise on the Disney Magic (Saturday).
• Packages must arrive by Friday by 3:00pm for the 4-Night Cruise on the Disney Wonder (Sunday).
• Packages must arrive by Wednesday by 3:00pm for the 3-Night Cruise on the Disney Wonder (Thursday).

If your box is hit on by the screening dog or chosen for additional screening they will open the list and the box and look through it. They will close it back up and provided nothing bad is in it then it will be in your room as usual later after boarding. These boxes will be coming on the ship with the crew mail among other things so they may be in the staterooms later then they were before as they are low priority in the scheme of things for Disney.

If you DO NOT want to concern yourself with the carrying of ''stuff'' home that you have purchase or too much to take on the plane, you can take it over to their place of business or they will be more than glad to pick it up from Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral and they will ship anywhere and everywhere. They are UPS and FEDEX office. Owners are Raul and Dwane - super nice folks to work with and very accomodating to your shipping needs. Must mention this board for discount.
