Thanks so much for updating the FE list. Only 1 week to go - yeah!!!!

Just finishing up our FE gifts -- we leave for WDW on Friday! For those who added late, we definitely have extras to give out.

Hopefully we'll be able to make it to the meet-up. Since we'll be getting there a bit later (transfer from the resort) and are traveling with other family, I'm not 100% sure we'll make it to the meet -- be we'll sure try!

This time next week we would have already met!
Wonder what I would be doing ...

 

[abrandow]

SOOo excited to meet all of you.
I, too, will admit to going overboard and requiring an extra checked bag just for the FE surprises! It is going to be such a fun time.
The kids and I leave for Perdido Key, FL in the morning... then hubby joins Friday and we drive across FL Saturday, then can't wait to board the ship on Sunday!!!!
Off to finish up packing... of course I packed the FE gifts first since they were FUN and now i'm working on the socks and undies part last - ha!
safe travels to all!!! Anne Marie

I thought out FE bags were good to go (two carry-ones) but after final tagging and sorting by room I need for a 3rd bag. May be packing some FEs in the checked bags. Final family gift is finished at engravers, will be picking up tomorrow.

5 sleeps to go!!!

I'm still figuring out how to sort all the FE stuff. I thought by room, but then I have things I want to distribute by day, so that messes me up. Ack!

 

[BlevinsFamily]

I put daily things in cheap gallon size baggies per room per day. So yep, I have lots of baggies I am using, but once the bag is empty then I am good. One suitcase has days 1 & 2 and other 3 & 4 so I can load up the empty suitcase with goodies to go home without too much stress.

Excellent ideas. I bought a ton of baggies, but hadn't figure out my sorting yet! I am inspired now. Thanks! I was also trying to divide up the delivery strategies so we can split up and deliver stuff if necessary. This will help with that. Thanks!

I typed up my out-of-office auto reply on my email! Does that mean I can leave now?!!!

Just a few more items to get together when I get home tonight. Got our pins/lanyards all ready. I wasn't sure if my teen boys would want to bring their anymore, but when I casually asked one boy if he wanted to bring both his pin lanyards or just one, he immediately replied with an enthusiastic "BOTH!".

Also pour some Stoli Vanil into a water bottle (and marked it accordingly) - all set for my Diet Coke and Vanilla vodka, which I saw as a great suggestion on a recent DIS thread!

Still need to work on a few door signs; good thing I have some old ones to use again.

I'm sure I will post again before cruising, but in the meantime, Safe Travels Everyone!

OMG, you almost gave me a heart attack! I read the part about your teen boys and I immediately panicked! I was like, I didn't make any gifts for teen boys! Holy crap, did I forget to add a whole family to the list? AAAAAAHHH!! And then I searched the thread for your posts and remembered you are sailing and meeting with us but not doing FE. WHEW! Although, if you give me your cabin #, I may still have some extra stuff Just not teen boy specific! Whew! That was scary for a second there!

OK, so I was finishing the last 5 FE gifts tonight, and I managed to super glue my index finger and thumb together! Ooops!

Hi! I have a room change to report. Either our TA or Disney made a mistake with our reservation. the resolution is an upgrade!! We are now in room 8558, NOT 5166. I am now going to pull our packed FE's to change the labels on them. Sorry for the last minute timing. I am going to try and not tell our daughter and let her be surprised, but keeping this in could be too much. I have been packed for days now and have a pile growing of things I forgot to pack and need to be added. Looking forward to meeting

OK -- first post and Google docs updated. Three of you guys are all really close to each other there on deck 8! I'm feeling a little loney on deck 7 all by myself!

Welcome to Deck 8! It looks like you'll only be a few doors down from us (8550).

We're just trying to make everyone's FE delivery suuuuuper easy.

It is 4 hours until our alarm is supposed to go off and I can't sleep.
Too excited I guess. Will be tired tomorrow -- but in a good way.
