[StramMom]

So, since we have not heard from NHshorty and Pryclssjen in 3-4 months, I will remove them from the FE list. I have also included them in the private messages and have not heard any response or updates. I hate to make big executive decisions like this without consulting the rest of the group, but, it seems like a good idea. Just a few more minutes and I'll send the final list.

 

[StramMom]

So, there are 8 families in Group 1 and 6 families in Group 2. Group 2 has some "bigger" families so it looks pretty even/fair. We will probably gift to all in my group and most in the other group because my kids like making the little gifts plus I think I over-bought/over-made some gifts! LOL! It's so exciting!

 

[StramMom]

OMG! I just realized that I forgot to change the numbers when I deleted the 2 families! Ugh! Ok, so there are 6 families in Group 1 and 6 families in Group 2. I may move someone over to the Group 1 side, to keep it more even.

Whatever you think is best! I am good with whatever you think. I would have forgot to re-number too! Just think, soon we will be sailing away and there will be no more worries.

Hi, i'm princessmocha's SIL. Thought I would check in since we are participating in the FE group. I normally would be on the DIS boards going crazy planning the trip, but I'm battling chronic Lyme disease and the fatigue has sapped all my energy. Thank goodness princessmocha is planning it all for us!

No way I can manage to make a FE, but I ordered one from someone on Etsy. I didn't want my kids to miss out because I'm ill.

 

[NHshorty]

Sorry for the lack of response....have been crazy busy with work. We were going to pass on participating for the FEs this cruise. It's so short and there's so much to do to get ready for the holidays.

Hi there everyone,

I feel so bad to have StramMom do some extra work….
Unfortunately, we will also need to drop out of the FE… We are all super excited for our upcoming vacation but due to illness in my family, my life/time has been a bit consumed by it. (father recently diagnosed with lung cancer!)
I don't even have a FE yet and ordering from etsy will not get here before we leave…
I'm sorry to everyone but do hope to meet some of you when we get aboard!
Happy gifting!

So sorry to hear. I have endured a similar situation earlier this year.
God bless you as you take care of you and yours.
I hope the cruise brings you some rest and magical fun!

I am so sorry to hear about your father . . . Hang in there and I hope that you are able to have a relaxing trip.

I have TheLeBlanc removed from the FE list. Also, please disregard the last 5 lines on LAPIG (DW, DD (5), DGP, DGM, D Sister and Family). I must have combined a family at some point during the shuffle......

Thanks again for doing all of this StramMom. Two weeks from now we will be waking up in Nassau.

 

[StramMom]

I have one more pirate suit to get, FE's to finish for 2 more families, bought all lanyards and trading pins, almost finished with magnets for the door, checked-in online today, about to finish ironing disney characters onto t-shirts. Whew! All this and the kids still have no idea who, what, where, when, why.......LOL!!!!

I have date night tonight with one of my kids but will send the final (hopefully) list sometime this weekend. I think these gifts are gonna take up majority of the space in my luggage!!

 

[StramMom]

Can't wait!!!

 

[TheLeBlanc]

Wow StramMom, you sure are a busy lady!! am I understanding that the kids don't know? wow, what an amazing surprise.

I can't wait to get there for our first cruise. We were looking at pictures last night and we're pretty excited. We are arriving at Disney on the 23rd.

We hope to meet/see some of you fine people on the cruise!

PS, thanks for the well wishes.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that I just noticed that our stateroom # is incorrect on the Excel Document…It looks like I transposed the numbers.

The Stateroom for sjhuddl is 6016 (not 6106).

I trust everyone is very excited…we will arrive in Florida on the 21st!!

Cant wait!!

I've got it marked down! We are almost to our leave time . . . We are starting the drive down tonight. Can't wait! Keeping my fingers crossed that our weather will hold!

 

[StramMom]

Oh my goodness! I am so nervous yet excited at the same time! I am sending out the FINAL list! I'm sorry, sjhuddl, I accidentally transposed the numbers!!! Ugh!!! It is corrected on the new list! You should all have one last final private message from me! Can't wait to see everyone on the cruise! Can we call each other on our wave phones? LOL!!!

Does anyone know if the boat has wi-fi? I just downloaded an app that lets you know what activities are going on while on board!

Yes, there will be free wi-fi availabe just to use the app. Just make sure to turn your phone on airplane mode. I believe once you board you can start viewing activities for the whole trip.
