Great idea Elizabeth...here are the Landcastle's (minus Mickey and my mother, far right, who won't be joining us on the cruise!)

Hi Corinne,

The easiest way to post a picture is to create an account at www.photobucket.com (it's free), then upload a picture to your new album in your account. Once the picture is uploaded, you can simply click on the IMG version of the picture (it's the bottom option) and then simply paste it into your post on the thread (literally CTRL V).

If we want to meet by the Goofy pool, maybe we should all have a ribbon of a certain color or something so we can spot each other. I have the feeling there will be a lot of people in that area and we won't want to just walk up to strangers without some idea who they are .

Thanks Elizabeth! I think I have it figured out. Here are the Leons at Disney World last year. We look basically the same.

As for finding each other at the Goofy Pool, I suggested to my DH that all the men should wear pink T-shirts, but he wasn't in for it. So, a ribbon would be great, let's pick a colour and go with it.

See everyone on board! Have a safe trip to Port Canaveral. We are leaving for Orlando tomorrow. Gotta finish packing now.

I was wondering if any of you have or are going to ship a box ahead of time?? My husband convinced me to do this and I am really nervous about it getting there? We shipped alot of the Pirate stuff,some beach toys,and only some of the door magnets.(plus other small stuff) After all the time and money I spent making the door signs I could not bear to send all of them ahead in case something happens and the box doesn't arrive. Have any of you done this before?

Hi Holli,

I considered it, but like you I am too worried that the box won't be there when we arrive. I am just packing really carefully and restricting everyone to one suitcase...

How about lime green, the official colour of DIS Meets?

cdndizzylizzy - I don't have enough posts to PM you back, so here is your answer! We are in staterooms 5137 and 5139, but I think I will just make 1 FE to put between the two rooms for us to share.

We are arriving Friday and staying at the Residence Inn. Wish we were coming even a few days sooner to stop by WDW on the way, but the kids are already going to miss a lot of school!

We got our docs, but one room has main dining and the other has second, so I'm hoping to get that fixed soon. Wouldn't someone be surprised to eat with just my kids!

See you all at the goofy pool at 3 with lime ribbons!

Looks like we are in for a great week. My family will be wearing lime green tshirts. We made matching shirts. You should be able to spot us a mile away.
I am getting really excited. My husband is a little flustrated . We are having a hard time fitting everything into his idea of packing (2 large and 2 medium suitcases) . Ya, I know. I think I am slowly breaking him down. Only 4 more days and we fly out. We are getting a snow storm right now. Lots of lake effect snow.

 

[hjensen]

Thanks for the weather predictions Elizabeth! After the ice storm this morning and the snow we're supposed to get tonight...it sounds heavenly!!

We leave in 4 days also!!! Have been packing most of the day today!! We are soooooo excited!

Quick question on the fish extender gifts:

Do we put a little note as to who the gift is from, or is it supposed to be a secret? This is out first time, so thanks!

We had been hoping for an upgrade, but since the ship is so full, I don't think that is going to happen. Our cabin number is 7520.

That sounds like a good idea.

Is there a general time frame at all (without holding us hostage of course, as it is our much-anticipated vacation!) when folks are planning to be fish extender fairies? I am thinking that we are going to be delivering our surprises, on the nights where there is something to deliver, shortly before we head down to dinner - so 5:30 or so? I am concerned somewhat about things not reaching their intended recipient if they are too long in the bag and call out to passers-by...

The girls and I are packed - DH just started and promptly delivered 5 or 6 different colours of items that he would like washed before he packs them - the beige shorts, the black shorts, the navy shorts!!! Arggh! But, I really can't get that angry when we will be in the sun just a few days from now!!!!

We fly into Orlando on Thursday night...

This is starting to get exciting. Packing is moving along.
I was thinking of delivering the FE goodies on the second or third night. Not quite sure. What is everyone else planning on doing?

 

[gweeptrish]

My DD has a lime green mickey jumper that she'll be wearing on embarkation day. I'm working on a lime green shirt for myself but I'm not sure if I'll finish it in time.

I was thinking to deliver FE goodies shortly before dinner, and I was planning to put a tag on 'em saying they were from us.

 

[gweeptrish]

Could everyone doing fish extenders please check post 213 and make sure your room number is accurate?

I have to say I have NO idea when I'll be delivering mine! I'm a newbie at this stuff and didn't even think about them disappearing. I will say that we will also try to do it before dinner, but I don't want to make any guarantees. That is a good idea to provide a little tag. Maybe I will try to make up a few "business cards" before we leave to include with our gifts.

 

[disneytraceyl]

Ours looks good.... Thanks

...I didn't know this forum existed, and wouldn't have known there was a place for people to "meet" each other for specific cruises.. Isn't that amazing?

So, we're veteran DCL cruisers (this is our 4th), but this time we're meeting up with family members, so that's something fun to look forward to.

We're from Michigan and glad to be getting out of the freezing cold, snowy, icy weather into warmer temperatures!

We're traveling with three of our four kiddos, from 17 down to 2 (two boys, ages 17 & almost 13, and our daughter, 26 months old). Truthfully, I'm nervous about keeping her busy -- the Mickey ear pool isn't big enough to contain her (well, that may be an exaggeration), but it doesn't keep her interest for more than about 15 minutes at a time. Having three older brothers, she thinks she's older than she is and should be allowed to do what they are doing.

You'll recognize us by our pasty white skin, our 17 year old is 6'6", and our 2 year old is an amazing Asian beauty!

Looking so forward to getting back on that ship and seeing my extended family
