December 23, 2009 ~ Christmas on the Wonder!

[JohnsPrincess]

Went from a 12 to a Deck 1 cat. 9 with double portholes. I am soooo excited.

?? Were you upgraded??
Sounds great!

Me too! I went from a 12 to an outside with 2 port holes. Very happy!

 

[JohnsPrincess]

Lucky ducks! We booked in 10s so I don't think we'll see any upgrades!

Just a reminder, the Fish Extender Exchange cut off date is Dec 1!

If you plan on joining in please PM me with your info before that date so I can get the list out to those that are travelling early.


Thanks!

Lori

If you are not on the exchange list and would like to join PLEASE PM me your info and I'll get you added!

We are turning out to be a nice sized group!

Just an FYI- once onboard we will have a dry erase board on our cabin door in case there are any changes in the list or any other info that needs to be passed on. Feel free to leave a message too if you want!

[JohnsPrincess]

Yey!! Yeah, I think the size of our group is very good - very manageable! I'm so excited! We're getting down there!!!! I only have 29 more days here and a few days later we'll be heading to Florida!!

 

[JohnsPrincess]

You must be at the Port Orleans Riverside - that is the bigger one. I just changed my Candlelight reservation to the 5pm show, with lunch at the Rose & Crown before that. I want to try to hop over to see the Osborne Lights before MGM closes at 8 (reading up on tips to hopefully get over there faster.....). I'm really not too interested in any of the rides - just want to see all the decorations as I'm told Disney does it up right!

We needed to add a person to our reservation so my mom moved us to the 3:25 dinner with seating at the 6:45 show! Lol...I don't understand why they wouldn't just let us add 1?? We've always been able to do that before. Doesn't really matter...just means no breakfast, early lunch, early "dinner", and snack later that night!! LOL

Lori - I didn't have Lemoe on the list I've been keeping, but I did have Tomskatt. Is Lemoe an add & is Tomskatt still participating? I'm trying to get all my stuff finished early.

Thx, Patricia

Lemoe is an adder that PM'ed me.

I've never gotten anything from Tomskatt with their info. So don't know if they are planning on joining in or not.


I figure if I remind everyone of the deadline every few days or so we'll get everyone in that wants in.

 

[mickey squared]

I think I have my FE's done already for this cruise. I'm confusing myself because I'm starting to pack for our upcoming Turkey day cruise this Saturday and I'm trying to keep the piles or mounds separate!! We're not participating in that FE, but I do have door magnets and such and trying not to mix up the clothes for pictures sake..

We went to see The Osborne Light Show at Hollywood Studios last night to get us in the Xmas mood. It worked!! We can't wait. Even though both cruises are surprises for the kids, we're trying not to let the secrets out.

Have fun! I can't wait to see the lights!


How do you pack and keep the secret at the same time?!?

 

[JohnsPrincess]

Oooh I know, I can't wait to see the lights tooooo!!! I'm so ready to get home!!!

Right now I'm freaking out about getting sick. My military ID is expired and they aren't giving the H1N1 vaccine to civilians yet. So I'm going to go renew it this week and hope they'll give it to reservists. Quickly. I will FLIP if they A) don't let me on the plane to get home and/or B) don't let me on the ship!! Lol. Can you imagine??!!!

 

[Tomskatt]

We are getting so excited here! The kids are counting down and the excitement is palpable. The Fish Extender is ready to go and I want to start shopping this week for them, but we STILL don't know our cabin information. I am not complaining, as this is my daughter's Make-A-Wish trip, but I am a control freak and hate not being able to plan. So I hope those of you in on the FE thing will be patient when I tell you I do want to participate, I just don't know when I will have the info you need.
So how are you all packing? Summer clothes? Any idea what the weather is like this time of year? Thanks for all your help!!!

Tomskatt - please don't forget to PM TheBeadPirate with the number of adults, number of kids & any allergies before Dec 1 when FE is closing so we can get the right count (for those of us that are also control freaks & want to get FEs checked off our list - !). You can always give her your cabin number when you get it. Patricia

 

[Tomskatt]

Thanks Patricia ... I believe she already has my info, but I will send it again. ENJOY your holiday!

 

[TheBeadPirate]

Thanks Patricia ... I believe she already has my info, but I will send it again. ENJOY your holiday!

Please send me your family/group info if you are still interested in the FE exchange. I went through my PM box and the list posted is current from all of the PMs I have recceived from peeps. I do not have anything from you that I can find.




The deadline is coming up fast everyone. There's still time to sign up if you'd like. Please PM me before DEC 1 and let me know if you're joining!

Thanks!

Everyone have a good Thanksgiving and safe travels!

Well...weather in Florida this time of the year is mild...but can get chilly. So from what I've read and been told, since we're going further south the weather SHOULD be mild. BUT that it has been known to get collllddd sometimes. LOL. So that's not very helpful. I can't pack until I get home, and I WILL overpack. Lol. I'll be bringing a couple summery dresses, a couple pairs of pants, tshirts, probably a sweater, and a jacket. Oh, and hopefully a nice dress for semi-formal night. We're doing the snokel thing on Castaway Cay so my fingers are crossed that we have warm weather!!
