February 19, 2011 Magic Western - Presidents of the Caribbean!

[Jonoba]

I got mine at Target as well. Its an opaque (not quite clear but see through) one. I actually have one on our bedroom door for shoes_what a clever idea, huh?

I bought 2 more before christmas-1 for us & 1 for my sister/SIL. What an odd gift until I explained! I think they cost about $7. We are in Mass too & Ive seen them at a few Targets.

I have the tote going in our room for "stuff" boy is it getting full! Bought the wrinkle releaser the other day-its in a huge bottle. I may need to downsize it. I forgot about the floaties-you mean the arm ones? My DD isnt confident enough without them. Thanks for the reminder.

Im so done with this winter-cant wait to be in the sun & sand with Mickey & the gang!

Did someone say they found wrinkle release spray in travel size?

 

[remed1978]

I know they have the wrinkle release spray in travel size at Target. I think they had some at CVS too, but I am not sure if I am right about that one...

yes...walmart in the travel section which at my walmart is in the same aisle as the shave cream/ razors..........

Nikkittta28-- thanks for the mention for a bonus FE... And like I said some pixie dust may come your way for the newest FE group bc I have extra stuff--but I was offering my door ( not for gifts,) but we are using my dry erase board and door for FE people to post any rm changes or messages to other fellow "Presidents"--- so again people can visit # 8592 to look for changes and post anything they need to for all the exchanges-OK?

Waga- gonna try to PM you in a min....

Not sure if you have them where you are but here in NY we have a beauty supply type store called Harmon's( they are actually aff. W/ Bed, Bath, and Bey. And Xmas Tree Shoppes) anyway they had the travel Downy wrinkle eraser and tide to go, etc---- and my Target had the clear over the door holders.......

Packing this weekend- another 2 -4 inches of the fun stuff tomorrow--- will it ever end?

i suggest, for those who need to post 10 times, that you post over and over again with bumps to various threads.....this should count and put you over the top effortlessly......................maybe

anybody planning on doing a trip report?

 

[Jonoba]

I have also added a digital (battery operated) illuminated clock to my list. I MUST be able to see a clock in the wee hours of the morning when I wake/roll over. I guess the wall clock isnt very illuminated (has glow in the dark hands that arent very easily seen).

I have also added a small night light for the kiddos in the bathroom. New place & all-dont want any midnight runs to the potty ending up in the hall!

Just went through our closet, cleaned & rearranged plus pulled out some stuff for the trip. Its getting CLOSE!


I have really enjoyed the trip reports I have read. One I found was dedicated to the food alone. Pics of every meal each person in their party ate. Was really neat to "see" it & get some feedback from their perspective. I may very well do a trip report, just because I have learned so much & it would be a great way to relive the trip & have info for the scrapbook. We shall see!

This may be post #10!! Can I be trusted enough now to PM people?

I most likely won't do a trip report, but I will definitely come back on here to share.

 

[Linda Farrell]

I always write a trip journal on every vacation, doing it every night in the room while it's all still fresh in my mind. I won't do one on here, but will also share here after we return.

That sounds like a lot of fun! Thanks, we'll try to get there.

My girls are so excited! My 9 is named Margaret, and Lydia is 5.

We live in Georgia. Looks like a lot of New Yorkers coming down for the warm weather. Even Georgia has been colder than usual this year.

What is FE? I am trying to read through all the messages to get needed information for our first cruise. This is a great site!

 

[Linda Farrell]

Welcome, Margisue!! It should be a great cruise. The FE is a gift exchange by people on this message board. There is already one that is full and closed, but another one started up by Nikitta28. You can message her to join it. Small gifts, either made or bought. The new FE is for adults and children I believe. FE stands for Fish Extender. There is a fish decoration on the wall outside the room, and you can hang things from it. You can either make or buy a fish extender. It's basically a wall hanging with pockets for the gifts, and a Disney theme on it. I bought one on Ebay a while back, and use it for all cruises. Just search fish extenders there. It's a fun thing to do on the cruise, one day you and your family walk around delivering your gifts to the others in your FE, and you find nice little surprises in your FE when you return to your room. On the cruise board, you'll see threads about FE. Look at them to get an idea of what other people have done.

Hope to see you at the meet on Sailaway DAy!

 

[nikitta28]

Fish Extender List #2 is still accepting families until Feb 13th

All are welcome, even members of FE#1

FE list #2 will assign days on Feb 14th (let me know if you have a preference)

If you have questions about the FE there are a few threads on the general cruise line forum or feel free to ask me!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!!!!!

Working on scrapbook stuff today already!

 

[Margisue]

Hi Nikitta,
Count us in for the FE list. It sounds like so much fun! My 9 year old and I are already thinking of gifts to buy and looking at ebay for a FE.
Margaret-9
Lydia-5
Cabin 2105
Is this one just for kids, or will adults participate as well?

Thanks for the information Linda! Can't wait for all of the fun and to meet everyone.

My 9 year old really wants to do the kids club activities too. We are hoping the 5 year old will venture out as well.

This may be a dumb question but I have not been able to find the answer on other threads ( I am still learning my way around this stuff). Are the FEs done anonymously or do people include their name etc.? I am good either way but was not sure what the protocol is. Can someone let me know? Thanks.

Bob

 

[wcw57]

BOB:some people suggest putting names on gifts of both giftee and gifter....

that would keep people honest and you would know if you got stiffed by some cheap sonofagun.....

I am not putting my name on them and, since FE's should have individualized pockets, other names would be redundant..........



sea you all real soon!

 

[maronvin]

yes...walmart in the travel section which at my walmart is in the same aisle as the shave cream/ razors..........

Walmart has the over the door organizers too!

Hi! Just found out about this board. Have been over on Cruise Critics and wondered why no one was signing up on the Roll Call. You've been an active group, I see!

We're 4 + Grandpa: DH (John), myself (Susan) and 2 DSs (Matthew - 13 and Stephen - 11). My F-I-L is joining us as well and one of the boys will room with him.
This will be our 2nd Disney cruise on the Magic - loved it the first time and am sure we'll love it this time, too.

We're from NY (where else), near West Point. I'm a Boston-area gal transported to a Yankee environment. However, I still root for all the Boston teams. Still in misery over the Pats loss to the Jets in the play-offs. Oh well.

We're flying in the day before, will stay at the Hyatt and take the Disney transfer to the pier. As recalled from previous Disney cruise, it's a good hour to hour and a half ride from Orlando airport to the pier.

Looking forward to meeting you very shortly!!


Susan

Margisue - my daughter Kate is 4 1/2 and looking for other kids her age to hang out with. If you want to have your daughter message my daughter maybe they can meet up.
