February 26, 2011 - 7 Night Caribbean Sailing

[Alexis Green]

Hey everyone! It has been mighty cold here in Michigan. I just wanted to remind everyone that the cut off date for FEs is going to be Jan 8th. That way everyone can have enough time to find gifts!

Happy Holidays!

 

[Alexis Green]

Just a notice.

I have not heard from pamsacruzin AND lindleyfamilycruise that you are actually going on this cruise! You are both on the FE list but not on roll call. Anyone NOT on roll call that is going on the cruise please let me know! I don't want to forget anyone!

I just finished my daughters Cruise Countdown book that I'm giving her for Christmas. After several brainstorming sessions I decided to do the following. I used an offer for 75-free prints that I had and printed 70 pictures of the Disney magic and parts around it that I found online. Then I used a bunch of Mickey Head paint chips from Home Depot and wrote the date and # of days left on them and glued it to the back of each picture. I also used one of the little post it tags with the # of days left on the top to make it easier to remove the pictures. I then slid each picture backwards (with the Mickey Head up and picture down) into a brag book and each day she will pull the picture out and turn it around. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Oh and just in case you were wondering it is 63 days until the cruise from Christmas Day.

Christmas is in 1 week and at a minimum I have 2 outfits (one for each girl) that I really want to finish as they are the sailaway outfits and I'd love to have those under the tree when I tell her about the cruise.

Well folks, we are now taking off for Christmas holidays. I wish you a very Merry Christmas, full of love.

If I don't get back before then, I also wish you a wonderful year 2011 (and hey, it will be amazing as it starts by a Disney cruise!). I hope your year will be filled with happiness.

[peachygreen]

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

My daughter is very excited now about the cruise. Of course she is 4-3/4 so 2 months is such a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG time before we go.

I bought half my outfit for formal night yesterday and bought my husband a new suit, 2 new dress shirts and a new tie. So he is set now for formal night, semi formal night and Palo dinner.

I need to start putting together a to-do list, a packing list and a shopping list. I've started putting some things away into my misc bag that we won't really need between now and the cruise.

I have also started to put things away that I know we will not need until the cruise. Spent $400 yesterday getting passports renewed ugh.. but don't want to risk going without them in case of an emergency and it is one more thing off the 'to do list'. I also started buying glow sticks from the dollar store and have began to work on my FE gifts. School is out until Jan. 3rd so now is a good time to work on them. Very excited with what I've come up with and hope all those on the FE exchange will like them

Hope everyone enjoyed Christmas and got what they wanted from Santa; I received a long awaited Nook Color and am loving it. My DH has the older version and he is amazed how far technology has come from his version to the new one. woohoo no more lugging tons of books on vacation with me.

Celebrating my birthday today too, so we have lots of celebrating in the Hendy household this week.

Hope you all have a great week and Happy 2011 February 26th is coming nearer

Happy Birthday Heidyclan!

I have also started buying a few things... sand pails and shovels, glow sticks, and today, I bought our matching Pirate family outfits! SOOOO exciting! I feel more like Christmas than a few days ago!

I have also called Disney Cruise lines to buy a few gifts and amenities, such as the classic wine package and the photo package. I'm pretty happy to have it all paid off prior to the cruise. I've put some money on my onboard account so that most will be pre-paid. Yé me!

Otherwise, the girls are pretty excited, mostly since they received their phone call from Arial, their favorite princess. The youngest has received 2 princess dresses for Christmas, and she had one from her sister... she is all equiped for the formal nights! As for me, I think I'll just dig in my closet... unless I can't resist and go 'cruisewear' shopping. My favorite store told me she'd get her exclusive collection soon!

Have a great holiday season everyone!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!! It hasn't snowed in over a week here so it's pretty fantastic! I am so ready for the warmth though.

Welcome aboard mismal and family! I have added you to the fish extender list and roll call! Just a reminder that the cut off date to sign up for fish extenders is Jan 8th!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful week! I am headed off to Chicago for New Years! Take care!!

Hello all,

How was your Christmas?

Dec. 31st today and I'm reflecting on this past year. It was truly a great one for us.

I wish you all the best for 2011. I wish you a year filled with health and happiness. With that, it all seems easy! Enjoy the little moments.

 

[peachygreen]

Happy New Year!

I hope all have a great 2011!

I have finally figured out my FE gifts and have ordered all the supplies needed so I can start assembling them soon.

I still need to figure out my actual fish extender however.

8 weeks from now I'll hopefully be sleeping at my hotel in Port Canaveral!

 

[nokidz]

A day late, but….
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 more fridays til CRUISE EVE!!!!

 

[Time4disneynow]

Hello everyone and Happy New Year!!!!

8 more Fridays....oh that sounds sooooo good. Working on our FE gifts. Getting exciting!!!!!!

Have a great day and take care.

 

[mismal]

I have a few more minutes so maybe I should be more polite.
I am Susan, my husband Jim will be celebrating the b-day on board. Can't wait, our group was able to get Palo for the same night!
My daughter Melissa is 14 and currently doing a fashion show to determine how much (more) shopping we will have to do before the trip (in 50 days if you count that we will be at DW prior) and my son Aaron is 7 could care less that he has outgrown most of his clothes from last year. Thank goodness for retail being 4 months at least ahead of season!

I see some other posts re:shopping for extender gifts. I am looking for some guidelines to follow; or will that be more to come after the 8th? There are plenty of threads about the making of the extenders...can't wait to get the creativity going!

Later; from freezing in Wisconsin...50 degrees 2 days ago, now down to 10 yippie!!!!
