Disney Dream 8th January 2012

[Lynn G]

I was looking at the FE list. It seems as if we are missing a few cabin numbers. Also, I was a little confused as to who was actually in each cabin. Some have more than one cabin booked and I would like to get the adult gifts to the adults cabins and the kid ones to the kids. Maybe everyone could check their info and make any updates or changes. My plan is to get the gifts all done and labeled before the holiday fun begins. Thanks!

Wow, you are organized and ambitious! I was putting all this off until AFTER the holidays!

Is it too late to join the FE group?

Is anyone else surprising someone with this cruise? We are surprising the kids - and I was going to do it Christmas morning but now was thinking it would be kind of fun to use the last day on their advent calendar (Christmas eve) as a clue to begin a scavenger hunt for hints that lead to the cruise ... can't decide between that and just wrapping up a dcl pirate t shirt and giving as a christmas gift

My wife and I just booked this cruise yesterday! We are so excited. Cruise # 6 for us, but only the second without bringing the kiddos! Usually I have to wait hundreds of days after booking...now less than 40...It is going to be a great break.

Not much planning time !!!!! so exciting !!!!!!!

While on trips far and wide I pick up puppy pick up bags from all over to bring home to our pups, seriously

I seriously believe you, we do it too.

We are surprising our kids with the cruise for Christmas also. I have so many different ideas still about how we are going to do it. I would love to wrap my cell phone and schedule the call from Mickey at a certain time so that he can tell them. I am just not sure that the call will come on time and they could be waiting for hours on Christmas. I also bought a Disney pin that has Donald on it and says "Welcome to the Disney Dream." I have thought about adding it to their pin trading lanyard with a few others to trade. Also had a few clues done for the scavenger hunt like an aqua crayon wrapped with a duck. The possibilities are endless. I like the advent calendar idea. My son has a Lego Calendar. I wonder if I could tamper with it and change the last surprise. Great, now I have another idea to consider

I wish! I just know that my kids will be on vacation after the holidays and I will be busier than if they were in school!

I think I am going with the advent calendar idea - inserting a note into the last day that will send the kids on a scavenger hunt. As I work out all of the details I will share

Funny story about cell phones - we got our daughter one for her birthday. I snuck into her room while she was sleeping and slipped it under her pillow. I called her so she would be suprised with her gift ! Well she pushed the hang up button. So I called again, and she pushed the hang up button again. She did this multiple times so I finally went into her bedroom to see why she kept hanging up on me. She was half asleep and was turning it off as you would a snooze button. Punk kids

She has ruined many a Christmas suprise by guessing too soon or not being excited so I hope this one redeems years past

ONE MONTH TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jnsma]

Our cruise docs and luggage tags came today!
It is a small thing but tangible evidence that we are getting close!! I have a feeling this month is going to fly by.

 

[danyella522]

hello! how can we tell if we were officially added to the FE? I think I posted info awhile back but didnt see anything on the main page. Thank you

 

[JennLK]

I got our docs yesterday too ! Now the wait is on to see what room we get. Kind of exciting to not know.

 

[ganandem]

We got our documents and luggage tags yesterday too. I had to hide the mail from the kids! Hopefully they did not look out of the window and see me jumping up and down near the mailbox.

That's hilarious. My hubby brought the mail in or else the neighbors would have seen me doin a little shakin as I opened the mail box.

I still had to wait for the kids to scatter before i could open it! Still, I am so anxious and excited to find our room ... This VGT thing has me on the edge of my seat ! I always liked choosing my cabin but this is darn exciting.

I think I missed it, I know I came too late to jump in on the FE, but do you have any kind of meet arranged? I would love to attend if you all wouldn't mind.
