PM those emails addys...I use 2007 - is that format alright or should I convert it to 2003?

I will send it out tomorrow...am at work now, list is at home....

Mary - got yours...

Yes, 2007 should work fine....THANKS so much!!

Has anyone booked an excursion thru Cabo Dolphins directly? I tried to book thru DCL but it was sold out, my boys really want to swim with the dolphins... Just curious.
DCL did tell me that I could go to Guest Services and be put on the wait list.

Essie

I just booked today through www.mycaboexperience.com I received a tentative confirmation, but am to receive details in up to 48 hours?! So, i'm hoping! They had more time options than through Disney and cheaper! $105 through Disney and $65 through these guys. We shall see! We are set for the 25th, which is DD's birthday, turning 4 and DS who is 6. I figured it would be a good lil' birthday gift! Hope that helps!!

szubieta LOL. U just watch me, I'm going to boogy down! I was born in '73, but love my disco grooves! (not sure if anyone else loves my disco grooves, ha ha) I love the Electric Slide. In fact, I do it all the time in my Hip Hop Abs DVDs! We always hit the dance lessons on the ships!

I have a suitcase out now, packing all of those things that take my breath away while I lay in bed at night, *gasp* "I hope I don't forget it!"

Here is one checklist that might be useful:

Mary - got yours...

2007 will work for me. I will pm you my email now. Thx again!

 

[Travelbee]

Hi Connie, I emailed over my photo, but I didn't see it up there yet, so just wanted to check that you got it.

I looked for your email after seeing your post and found it in the Spam box for some reason. I'll have it uploaded tonight.

The Pin Trading 101 paperwork is up to 6 pages so far...I am going to actually put it in a Power Point - it will be MUCH easier to transport that way. I will see if it can be webhosted - so you can see it from home...please don't expect a super duper presentation...it will most likely just be the slides (maybe if I get ambitious I will add music). I want to include photos of things as examples, so the PPT format will work the best. I will also be able to play it on my laptop when we get together
Cayla

Cayla, you are amazing. Thank you for doing this for us newbie pin traders.

Hi... I think I joined this 3rd group but I forgot who I emailed. How do I confirm we were added?

Essie, just got you added. Do you want to post here or on FB the names of who you are traveling with?


All FE participants, I am trying to start a smaller 3rd group for the newcomers. Would anyone like to be added? Or, would you guys mind if I added Emily (DCphotogal) and Essie (NordyGirl)-one to each group?


WooHoo--one month from today we sail Looking back at my first post, on the 2nd page, it was Nov. of 2009. I thought this cruise would never get here. Jennifer (Jweiss) you posted right after me. The one year mark was fun, the 6 month mark was exciting, now the one month mark is just amazing.

I just booked our zip-lining in PV yesterday. I am really excited for that.

 

[CasaMartinez]

I need last names and room numbers for all those attending the Mixology Tasting. If you haven't already done so, please PM with the info.

Thanks much

I'm open to adding them or being added to the 3rd group. I've already ordered my FE's but I could put together something else for this group.

 

[padalyn]

for those who asked for it...check you inboxes...I just sent out a very long email with attachment. I have to apologize for the long email, because once I started explaining the sheet...it growed like topsy (to quote my mother).

Email me if you have questions...I will gladly answer them!
My "secret" to packing is using compression bags My issue is that I can get WAY TOO MUCH in a bag...if I used a full sized checked bag - it would weigh about 100 pounds. I use a 25 inch bag to check and a 21 to carry on.

Which compression bag do you get? I got the space bag travel one (the one you roll) never used it before but just bought it this week. Wondering if it is any good?

That would be the ones I use...I use about 8 of them. I don't overstuff them, and use different ones for different types of clothing...formal stuff in one, pirate in another, undies in a tiny one, bras and undershirts you get the idea!

When Mary emailed me that she had gotten my list I had opened my checked bag to look for my oops or "oh s _ _ t" kit...you know all those tiny things that get lost in the bottom of the bag? I keep them all in a zippered lure kit (from Cabella's a great find!) that has zip compartments and is soft, so it takes up very little space - it weighs 2 pounds tho! Then I actually realized that I keep some stuff prepacked that is just for Disney or travel in general – that includes all my ID, passport, copy of my medical insurance, auto insurance policy, living will, and power of attny. I also keep a toothbrush in both bags, toothpaste, deodorant (both a rock and crème types),and a bath scrubby as well as soap and a spare set of undies, socks and bra in the carryon/computer bag at all time!

Most of this comes from having needed it at some point. If one prechecks one’s luggage at WDW then gets stuck there…it is nice to have a change of undies! I actually use owners locker, but even that goes the morning of the last day there, and I usually try for the last flight out so I have the whole day to wander around…so, I keep some emergency stuff in the computer bag!

Either way is fine with me, Kristi. I'm almost done putting together our FE stuff but could definitely add a family or 2.

Only one month to go!!

 

[fourmcds]

You guys should share a van from the airport, lol!

I just booked our zip-lining in PV yesterday. I am really excited for that.

We did one there and LOVED it

one month

 

[szubieta]

It is fine either way with me too. Just let me know when the final list is ready.

Thanks Helen, Dany, and Sandy. Okay, let me go ahead and do this. I will add Essie and Emily to our existing FE lists. Essie to group one and Emily to group 2. If you have an extra FE gifts, please include them in your deliveries. If you have already done all of your gifts or have done personalized gifts already, do not stress over it. Does that sound fair? Trying to get a 3rd list together in a month might be too hard. If anyone else comes now I will feel bad, but we will have to tell them the list is closed. I joined a meet like 3 weeks before our Magic cruise in 2009, they told me the list was closed. No big deal to me at all, since I was not planning on doing the FE's in the short of time.

Essie and Emily, I will be PM'ing you guys the link to the FE lists.

Essie, love your picture on the roll call. Your kids are adorable.

 

[HoppingMad]

I will add Essie and Emily to our existing FE lists. Essie to group one

No worries

 

[Travelbee]

I will add Essie and Emily to our existing FE lists. Essie to group one and Emily to group 2.

Fine with me too. I still have a few items to get anyway.

Website update - photo of DCPhotoGal & family (aka Emily) is now up!

Secret Mickey is now closed. We have 18 people on this list. Those participating should be hearing from me or Helen within the next week.

 

[szubieta]

Cool! JoJo and went throught them earlier and it's nice to see a few more faces. Essie and Kel you guys too.
