[brinalyn530]

I was also wondering how I would identify each person's FE package - what would we do without you !

Cabin 7628
brinalyn530 - Sabrina
DS - Payton (age 8)

Cabin 7631
DMom - Barbara
DDad - Walter

Mom and I are going to try to do a tasting or two (or more ) so we'll probably see you at that martini tasting - sounds yummy!

I really better go now, if I don't get a load of clothes finished soon, DS will be in the buff for the next three days !

Hi!

Just wanted to let everyone know that these come FedEx so they probably won't be in your mailbox.

We will also be doing a tasting but probably not martinis. I like the sweet ones but anything with olives or olive juice.....

My DH and I were having lunch today discussing how we will be on the ship having lunch in three weeks. I dug out the old beer mug from the last cruise so I guess he is all packed....

[GPLarge]

GPLarge = Al
DW (aka Littlecat123) = Jeanne
DD = Ashley

No cruise docs yet but waiting not so patiently

 

[Michellepooh]

So much activity lately!

Here are our real names:

Me - Michelle
DH- Bill
DS4 - Matthew
DS4months - Zachary

The time is going by so quickly. I have almost all of my FE stuff, heading out in a bit to get a few more things.

Can't believe that 2 weeks from tomorrow I leave for WDW. I feel like I've been planning this trip forever. Already starting to think about when the next trip will be. How many of you are planning to do the $99 bounceback offer? We probably will, we're thinking of maybe November.

patrsn - I didn't realize that you are also in MA.

 

[Namsupak]

Namsupak = Lauren
DH = James

Good to know the docs come through Fedex. I don't even want to think about going outside just to check the mail. I'm really sick of this whole cold thing. Can't wait to be in sunny warm weather relaxing

 

[patrsn]

Michelle, yes Scituate....1/2 way between plymouth and boston...you?


I didn't make the cut off for fe gifts but here's our names anyway

Me- Michelle
DH- Tucker
DD17- Shelby
DS12- tucker
DD7- Sophie

I have another daughter Jamie, 22 but she's away at school and she won't be joining us on the cruise, Im hoping to get her to fly down to Disney though since we'll be there a couple days before the cruise.

 

[Newbies08]

A quickie post here w kids on my lap, but YES I am very keen on the Martini tasting Susan - love all types

Also I think Pam/CdnStitchFan had posted re: this but we will probably get to the RocknBarD earlier on Sunday nite for the B'day bash (around 8pm) to get tables and start celebrating I dont think I'll be able to stay past 10pm as we only have daycare until then, but I'll leave DH (40) to party on w you all.

Kath, Garry, Cam (4) & Lachlan (18mos)
#6054

2 wks until we leave for DW

 

[JRandAJsMom]

The martini tasting is one of the things I am really looking forward to, so count me in on that one Are they "fruity" ones or the "plain" ones? I'm one of those people who only likes fruity drinks with cheesy names, haha I don't drink a lot because they go straight to my head, so I figure the "tasting" size will be a good thing

As for FedEx, I guess the mailman is off the hook We live in the hills, so the mailman delivers by foot and all of our mailboxes are right by our doors. I've been opening the door and checking the mail every time I hear the mailbox close, so I know he hears me pouncing out the door every time he's leaving... He probably thinks I'm nuts Oh well

So-- another conversation question... What activity is everyone looking forward to the most for this cruise? I'm most excited about Chankanaab so far... Seems like a good mix of beach time and good snorkeling (and I think we're going to take along some grapes to feed the lizards from a stick to entertain the boys ).

 

[DizNutDad]

We are not in the FE, but I wanted to share our names.

DizNutDad - Phil

[cdnstitchfan]

A quick post....

I am game to go to the Martini testing.... I see another little dis meet happening here...

Here are our names for the FE:

Cdnsticthfan - Pam
DH - Harry
DS18 - Alex
DS15 - Jason

What I am looking forward to most on this trip... is that fact that we don't have any plans, besides hanging out on the ship!!

 

[pgsahm2]

pgsahm2 - Amanda
DH - Shawn
DS9 - Braxton
DS7 - Camden
DS2 - Dawson

I am hoping to do either the Martini tasting or the Margarita tasting. Or both! I've actually never had a Martini!

 

[JJCJFL]

So...

You know that I am Jill and I am traveling with my DH Bob. We are 40/50 somethings who love to sail with DCL. We were both born and raised in upstate NY but escaped to the south so we wouldn't have to deal with the snow and the cold anymore. We have a DD who is in her 20s and doesn't live with us so...no cruise for her. The thing that we are looking the most forward to is Irish Kevin's in Key West and of course spending time on the beautiful ship.
Not involved with the FE but am looking forward to the meetings. We will probably do the wine tasting and we like to go to the cooking demonstrations. Other than that we can mostly be found in the adult area. (pool, bar and the Cove Cafe)
If you folks with kids get a break, stop by and have a drink with us.

Jill

My favorite activity onboard is to get up early, get a cup of coffee and take a long leisurly stroll outside on the upper decks. It's beautiful to see the sunrise over the ocean. It's always suprisingly warm but very windy! it's gorgeous and so peaceful walking around with nobody up yet. Sometimes I grab a poolchair and just sit and enjoy the calm before the entire ship is up and trying to find a spot near the pool! Hahah, not that I want to be there right now or anything!!!! ahh...... cannot wait..

Jill and Bob, I'll be there, that is our usually hang out as well. We will be looking for you.

 

[MyLove4Disney]

I have updated both lists with Real first name of all that have responded so far. Please check to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. I think that I have gotten eveybody. If I have left you out please, please let me know. I'll have a posting at our cabin if you happen to be looking for anyone of our group. So just remember cabin number 6511 forward special section has a different hallway than the rest of the ship.

 

[MyLove4Disney]

New group for mini meet. Hey you guys, We are going to have one heck of an adult set of meets. Since I don't have any young kids someone will have to schedule for them. Disney probably has them completely covered in the clubs.

Who is interested so far

Brinalyn530--(Sabrina)7628 & 7631
JRandAJsMom--6041
Newbies08--(Kath)6064
Margolyn--(Margo) 6132
MyLove4Disney--(Susan)6511 sideways

Cdnstichfan--(Pam)2098 & 2100
Patrsn--(Michelle)&(Tucker)8566
Princessmeesh--(Michelle as a observer)&(David)6568




I'll have to find out the time for this once we get on the ship, then I'll send a note to your cabin or a phone message. I do believe there is a cost of 15.00 involved. I might find out on the 1st day. They put them in the Navigators. I haven't done one before so I can't even guess on a day when they have them.


OK, yes I know I'm the list queen.

Apple pucker martini aboard the magic... fruitie martini they go down really easy. The best ones are in sessions.

 

[margolyn]

We are
Margolyn - me, Margo
DH - Steve, my husband
DS9 - Freddie my son.

And yeah, Susan, you really DO rock! Thanks!

I actually bought me FE stuff and some FE gift makin' stuff today! DS9 picked out some stuff too.

WOW..... very exciting!

Cincinnati warmed up to 34!!! But after -5, it felt warm.

Can't wait to meet you all in 3 weeks!

 

[margolyn]

p.S. When is the martini tasting? I would be up for it too.
