Feb 6 2010 7 Night Western

Wally, I knew you were due for a new siggy!

Everything is coming along here. I think I am in denial that we are almost only a WEEK away!:yay:
 
Hope everyone is doing well right now... we are trying hard to stay healthy, but a mild cold seems to be going around our household. Hopefully we can get it over with before it's time to leave!

Hard to believe we're in the home stretch now -- 11 days!!!

Finally got my FE gifts figured out today. Had a lot of different ideas along the way, but some of them were too tricky -- or too heavy! I am really excited about doing this. Not sure about telling the kids, though -- any thoughts on this? Should I let the whole thing be a surprise, or should I get them involved? I usually take any opportunity I can to demonstrate that GIVING is just as much fun as RECEIVING, but part of me thinks, nah, this is a Disney vacation, let them be spoiled a little...

Haven't done anything to pack yet, feeling way behind compared to some of you, LOL.
 
I hear you about trying to stay healthy! We are laying as low as we can right now! ;)

Peggy (or maybe someone else knows this?) - do you have your room # yet?

I feel like crunch mode is finally on. Time to start washing and packing vacation clothes!
 

Thanks Peggy.. I wasn't sure if you were checking in here often. In any event, I have added your group to my list so I'll just keep an eye out for the cabin #. :)
 
Peggy, are you keeping track of who is doing FE gifts with you? So far it seems like everyone who has responded said they have enough of everything, but I haven't really been keeping track... anyway, I meant to tell to please count me in; I have plenty of extras. :)

Anyone else finding that this particular week seems to be the busiest week full of things we're going to miss? It must be Murphy's Law or something... besides the usual stuff, we're missing a birthday party, a cub scout pinewood derby, and a few other social things. Why must all of these things happen during that one week??? :confused:

Hmm - I don't think we're really missing anything but it seems like it is the start of anything that can go wrong WILL when you have no time to spare! One of my teeth got a small chip in it today and I didn't think it was too big a deal until other tiny pieces started chipping off. :sad2: I worry I'll end up with a cracked tooth if I don't get it looked after but who has the time right now?! :headache: My sister was going to babysit tomorrow AM so I could run trip errands but now I have top go to the dentist!

Then I realized that travelling with a toddler is no small task. Diapers, swim diapers, bottles, teething meds, sippy cups.... so the suitcase I had for her is too small and no room for FE gifts! The horror! ;) So I have to move up a size.

All that said, I'll take these minor problems.

Still, I am SO ready to be on vacation!!
 
We are planning to bring for the list which has already been posted. Since we came in late, we can arrange to have enough for everyone. Anyone who doesn't have enough will not hurt our feelings at all. After all, it is just a fun game!
 
We have enough to include Peggy also. Let us know when you get your stateroom number. We are disappointed that the Golden Mickeys show is gone and is temporarily replaced with an American Idol type show. It has gotten poor reviews on the forums. I guess we will have to get the Magic Bullet working overtime that night and blend up some smoothies to numb our pain. ;)

Has everyone got their outfits ready for Pirate night? We are picking ours up on Friday. Our boys are going to be so excited.pirate:
 
I couldn't really find anything to wear for me but the girls all got cute outfits to wear - plus accessories! ;) I am still keeping my eye out though... you never know!

:laughing: about the smoothies! It does sound like we got the bum end of the entertainment deal, though!
 
I just packed all my FE gifts I will be making one delivery instead of 3. Just because I have them all separated and it will be easier on me. Sorry if that messes any one up.

I really want to make myself a skirt for pirate night. I make dresses for little girls and I actually have held up the skirt part of it before and it looked somewhat cute on. I think it would be perfect for disney (atleast) but I don't know if I'll have time. I would like to make DS an outfit but I am not sure he'll wear it so it isn't too high up on my list at all.

No problem! I was surprised at how heavy and how much it seems I have already! I am glad that we are driving!

Im also disappointed about the Golden Mickeys being off...I was thinking I would get to see it one last time before they took it away but I guess not :sad2: Im also dreading that singing show thing :scared: I have a feeling we will be leaving it early (if we even show up at all) due to my son not being interested in it at all :headache: I know I will still love the cruise but it just seem like they are crapping us out of one theater show. i promise myself that I will have fun no matter what though :goodvibes For pirate night, Im just bringing a pirate shirt for myself and my son. We have done the pirate attire on all of our cruises except one so far and it just seems like so much to bring for just one night, so we are just going with the t-shirts this time.

That is very sweet of you. You are already on my list...and my mom who is here and has seen me try to Pack the luggage bag for the Fish Extender gifts says that everyone is lucky to cruise and be on a Fish extender gift list with us because we give so much :lmao: I do go crazy with the exchange but its much more fun to give than receive :thumbsup2 so needless to say I am going to bring all my Fish Extenders in a dufflebag with wheels that I am carrying on (hopefully I can squeeze in some sodas in the bag so I wont have to find another carry on bag :rolleyes1 But Boy is the bag heavy already and it only has the FE gifts in them :laughing:

Hey where is Jamie and Wally? I hope they are all ok :grouphug:

Well I hope everyone is getting everything they need done, accomplished and I cant wait to be with you guys sailing on the deep blue sea!! :boat:
 
I'm Fine! ;)
Thanks for asking.

Sometimes pesky work gets in the way of my DIS time.:mad:
Can you believe THAT! :rotfl:
