[Dixielady908]

Is it crazy? That i have already started to plan and Make FE gifts... Knowing that more people will sign up.. Have there been rules set yet? This will be our first DiS meet and first FE nervous and excited...... Is there anyone on this cruise that has started???
I

I'm not going to partakke in the FE, however, its never to early to start planning....I already have excersions planned Just think of it as being pro-active and not crazy just sayin!!

I ll say a prayer that you have a safe and storm free trip. Please let me know how the Caribbean Princess is. I have only been on one cruise and that was a Disney Cruise.... Every time I see or hear the name Aruba I want to bust out in song....

ARUBA, JAMACIA, OHHH I WANNA TAKE YA TO BERMUDA, BAHAMAS.....

Ok, I think I officially have too much time on my hands...
gotta run

I'm currently somewhere over North America winging my way to the east coast. Flights have gone well so far today! I'll have a couple of days to get used to eastern time and repack before we fly to Fort Lauderdale for our cruise on the Caribbean Princess. We'll be visiting Aruba and Curacao--first time for me in both places. Hopefully, no late appearing storms. (a little tenative now after Sandy)!

Angie

have a fabulous cruise and hope you have sunny weather and calm waters

 

[MinnieCruzer]

Thanks for your good wishes and prayers. They're truly appreciated. My flights yesterday all went perfectly, in fact, were so light that I had the entire row to myself on both flights! That hasn't happened in a long, long, long time!

Have a wonderful and safe cruise. Hurricane season is over.

Don't panic yet. I've already mentally started planning but haven't started anything. On our last cruise we had people join up a week before we sailed but as we'd already left home it was too late for me to do anything so I just gave them lollies. Maybe someone will hand out a final list when we meet onboard and if anyone's joined after the cut off date they can just get lollies or whatever too?

We are not doing the FE either, but since we have a website set up, I can easily set up another FE exchange for the late comers. I know on our last Disney cruise they cut off the list about a month out and there was constant discussion on how to handle those who joined late. I will let whoever is running the FE decide what to do. I just wanted to throw out the idea that I can cut off the list at any time and start a new one.

I have read where each group is different. There was even a group that divided the FE participants into small groups of 8, where others did everyone ,72 state rooms... I got nervous about the 72 state rooms, thinking I might have to take out a loan to cover expenses. JK..... I am a planner... You should see the book I made for our past WDW trip.... It kept me busy and helped with my excitement.. This is the main reason why I am wanting to do FE, that and it gives me and my daughter something crafty to do together. I taught myself how to crochet today, so I have a year to perfect my gifts.... Hint Hint!

Tonight we head down to Savannah GA, and arrive in the world on Sunday. Really need this break from all the craziness, but we are all ready for the move. Just have a load of stuff to take to Salvation Army this morning and a haircut.

I'll be checking in while we are away and I'll post some pics of the new Fantasyland and test track. Also looking forward to MVMCP and the
Candlelight Processional.

And while you were sleeping.....

Chuck: was not sleeping but getting ready for work!!!

Anyway, have a fabulous time...looking forward to the picture's you will be posting..

I dont mind the FE, however, I am not a "crafty" person therefore I wont be partaking in this.

Another fun thought for us that are not crafty is the post card exchange...did that last year...kinda on the same order, but you drop off a postcard from your hometown with your screen name and names on it....
I just bought them at the airport and wrote them out on the plane, it gave me something to do on the flight into florida...

well better run, they do pay me to "work" around here.

later

And while you were sleeping.....

I wasn't sleeping either....I was already neck deep in work....

I gotta get back into stuff again....I'm stretched so thin with the holidays and the baking, shopping, wrapping, decorating......

 

[Ccann]

I was awake too! Now I know to check the boards when I wake up.....lol....

I know, I feel your pain....we are having a cookie exchange here at work on tuesday....so I will be making cookies this weekend....

I still have wrapping to do and just a few more things to get for my grandaughter, but the rest of family is done with.

Last nite me and my sis-in-law got our menu together for Christmas Eve....
so now I have to start picking up stuff for that....

I love the Holidays...it is my favorite holiday, but its soooooo much work

Hard to believe it's less then 3 weeks to Christmas. I hope everyone got their Christmas shopping done!

pretty much done, just a couple of things for my grandaughter, but I have a little extra time, as they will not be her for Christmas, they are coming in on Jan. 7th...so I'm thinking of waiting till after and get some of the deals!!

Slow day a work today, I thought the afternoon was never going to end....it just seemed to drag....

tomorrow 356 days....

did anyone look at the 2014 prices?? I thought they were a little high...just my thought, but maybe I was looking at the wrong time of year...I just checked out the 7 day's in August on the Fantsay..
have a good evening

Hi everybody we just changed from the Magic 12/8 5 day to this one. What an active board 75 pages. Our other board only had one post.

I wish I was done, I am barely started. I hope Santa pulls through because I am just not in the shopping mode... I still have time even if I am at Walmart at midnight Christmas Eve... Lol... But my kids are easy they are 6 and 3. Then my nephews and niece I am doing the same thing for all 7 of them. 2 movie tickets a tin of popcorn and some candy... Just need to go buy all of it..... We stopped doing gifts for the adults a long time ago. My mom will get a calendar that I made with our photo pass photos from our WDW trip in Nov.
