Had a $20 credit at Shutterfly so I just made some magnets with the designs Babyburrito sent me! Can't wait, this is getting exciting!

Good Evening, all!

I need to be removed from both lists. It's a good news/bad news situation. We are moving our cruise to NEXT Thanksgiving (bad news) because (good news), I am a winner of the Disney Flip Side Contest that was held in January! We won a trip to WDW and after paying for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party Tickets, an extra hotel night, Memory Maker, matching shirts, and dining, we will be tapped out. #FirstWorldProblems , I know.

I hope y'all have a blast this year! If any of y'all make this cruise a tradition, I will catch you next year!

THANK YOU! I know--not a bad problem and no complaints here . . . except maybe that I won't get to meet y'all! Have an amazing time! I'll be checking out any trip reports y'all make to prepare for next year.

 

[babyburrito]

Does your countdown say "until I STAY in Cinderella's Castle"? Ok, now I am seriously jealous!

You can contact me regarding your cruise next year I would love to reminisce and I would love to read your trip report and see lots of pictures from inside the castle!

 

[jlmlodzik]

YES!!! I know!!! I keep having to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming! We get to stay one night in the castle and the remainder of our stay at the Wilderness Lodge. I also booked one extra day in the Art of Animation Cars Suites to have a full park day on the first day and just to check the suites out, too.

Sounds great! I will be in touch!

Here's a link to my Pre-Trip Report:

We are getting soooo close to double digits! I need to my door magnets ready

 

[babyburrito]

Yes, I am in full cruise mode now. I've been working on my FE gifts and hope to finish them soon!

 

[Skin2000]

I have only finished one gift which I hand made. I need to buy the rest. I am not a very creative person but hope all like what I made.

 

[babyburrito]

I love hand made stuff so don't worry about me I will love it I'm sure!

I have a combination of purchased and hand made gifts. I had to limit myself because I saw so many cute things to do. I could have brought bucket loads of gifts!

Here's something that I've been thinking about and thought I would share.
DCL will not let you tip any of the cast members that work in the kids or teen areas. I really feel like they deserve something since they are the ones that make the cruise magical for our kids so I am planning on giving them bags of candy (I hear that they like that). I can get them after Halloween on sale since that is right before our cruise. I also add candy to the bag that I drop off at guest services to get autographed by all of the characters. Last time I had picture mats autographed.

I seen that there will be no more items dropped off to be autographed. I am very disappointed about this because this is my first cruise and already bought a photo mat. I have read about giving candy but have also seen they like phone cards also.

 

[Skin2000]

I went and filed for our passports today. YIKES!! It cost way more $ then I expected to pay. But if we get hurt it will be well worth it.

 

[Skin2000]

My countdown is at 99 days!! Finally in double digits!! We are staying at Disney 3 days before cruise.

I did not know that DARN! I was planning on getting a pillowcase autographed.

I will be renewing my DD's passport in two weeks on her birthday. She is the last one I have to do before the cruise. I can't imagine paying for a family of passports at one time! Ouch! Make sure you get your money's worth and take several cruises over the next few years before they expire!

My countdown is at 99 days!! Finally in double digits!! We are staying at Disney 3 days before cruise.

My countdown ends two days later than yours! Yea! it's almost here!

Can I ask where you saw that you can no longer drop off items to be signed. My daughters have done this a few times and love having it done. Thanks

You just have to bring your items to the characters to have them signed. I will find the article for you. You can no longer fringe items starting this month.

Well it took some time and my mom wanted to kill me for creating the cross stich patterns with 90 different colors each, but she finally finished our fishe extenders!!![GALLERY=][/GALLERY]
