Halloween 2011. Oct 29th on the Magic

[HigginsFamily3]

Desiree,
The spreadsheet looks great! Thanks for all your hardwork. Does the spreadsheet include the last minute additions? I don't want to miss anyone.

Have a great Friday everyone! Big Game tomorrow- Michigan vs. Mich State! Go Blue!
And Go Tigers!!!

NP, it was just my OCD in overdrive to make sure I didn't miss anything for this cruise.

Yes, the spreadsheet posted has all the ones on Marisol's official list as well as at the bottom there is a list containing the "unofficial FE participants" that some of us have agreed to sprinkle with ixiedust.

Sharing an experience for those shipping boxes to the port. We did a B2B in 2009 and participated in the FE on both trips. One of the DISer's from that first cruise shipped a box to the port and it ended up being delivered to their cabin - on the cruise the week before ours! I will ship a box but I will also not ship it too early. Since I generally use UPS, I think it only takes 3 days for them to arrive so I don't think it will go any before next Friday so I don't have to worry about it going on a cruise without me!

Happy Saturday. We are off to buy DH a new suit - we have that wedding next weekend and his just doesn't look very nice. I generally get tuxes for him for our cruises but I guess those days are over as well. I got his clothes all sorted out for the cruise, will press his slacks and one shirt and call it good. I think I am golden - unless I make a huge mess on what I am wearing to that wedding next weekend. I will be neat - I will!

Nothing much else to report. Annette - the electric car sounds like an awesome plan for KW. Hopefully the weather will be cooler than it has the other times we have been there.

Have a great day!

Morning all

Cool sunny and windy here today.....going to get the lawn cut and Wally promised we would trim the bushes that are driving me crazy....
then Just a final couple of laundry loads to the rest of the clothes in order and I can finish my ironing, as next weekend I will totally focus on house cleaning and packing.....I'm worn out just thinking about it all......After that I know that I will need the vacation
Just checked out the ships docked at port.....I cant wait....2 more weeks

Annette, the electric car actually sounds fun....
If you cant get off the ship, just think, you can work on your tan...

Have a great day...
later

We are finally out of the life boats, but not by much. Just down the hallway as a matter of fact. Our cabin is 5638, a Cat 7A. It is starboard too, so I will be able to sit on the veranda and watch Castaway Cay as we dock having my coffee.

I will finish our FE's later this afternoon. With all of the hoopla here in St. Louis over the Cardinals, I will be working overtime all next week. Especially if they go to the World Series. The Brewers are going to pay for my photo cd on the cruise.

Everyone have a great weekend and remember that we are less than two weeks away.

I can only see page 1. Am I doing something wrong?

Hey! We're just down the hall (in 5650 - at the end).

I'll try not to run you over during the lifeboat drill.

I am a really big boy, running me over might not be possible...running faster than me is definately possible. Although it is only six weeks since my Gastric Bypass and I am down at least 55 lbs. Next year, I can give you a run for your money.

Way to go on the cabin. Now there are more of us aft on 5. Sadly, we are on the other side of the ship from you and TimmerK though. Plus, you will both have the better view on CC, unless we pull in but that doesn't happen much.

You know, I am thinking we are in Anamator's for the driill, seems like I found the thread once and that is what it said. Just down one flight for us if that is right.

That is awesome Bill, just awesome!

Well, the sun is shining but there are hardly any leaves on the trees anymore. Last weekend we were at peak - the first part of my drive was stunning - just stunning. Makes me sad as once the snow starts this year - it will be a long run until spring. I need something in the February/March timeframe to get the heck out of Dodge. OK, off to do more pre-packing.

I can only see page 1. Am I doing something wrong?

No it is ok. I only posted the one page. The other pages contained people who were cruising but not participating in the FE. I thought I would keep the list I posted just to the ones participating in the FE.

Sorry for the confusion.

I only see one page and that page has 11 cabins on it so maybe it is a Michigan thing??? I tried from both home and the office and get the same results. But - love what I can see - you even have it divided by decks.

Some updates from MI:

First of all- Congrats to MSU for winning the game. That was hard for me to say.

Go Tigers- we need to tie up the series tonight.

We finished making all our adr's for our pre and post stay at WDW. Yippee.

We also made some decisions on what to do in ports after some emailing back and forth with tour operators:
Key West: Electric Car rental for touring the area

Grand Cayman- we booked the island turtle farm tour with DCL. I thought it would be easier to beg for a refund from them in case I can't tender than going through Captain Marvin who we were going to use to save some $$$.

Cozumel- We went with Mr Sanchos beachside cooking school. They said that it is an inexpensive cab ride to their facility and there wouldn't be any issues with my wheelchair. After learning how to make a real Mexican lunch we can use all of the facilities at their beach.

We are so close. And I'm not yet organized. But since I'm moving around better, next week I'll start organizing and packing.

Have a great night everyone

 

[jastza]

Only 7 more work days!!!! Well, I have to start making my lists and stealing sons better clothes to pack.

Denise I need your room # for the post card exchange and Jedi I need yours for the fe.

Told dh that we needed another suitcase and he went all "what size car do you think we have?" I told him he could pack his stuff in a box and I would mail it to the port and then I would have more room. LOL

I dont think the kids will mind sitting on a suitcase in the back seat
Well, guess we will figure it out!

Evening:

Kathie: 6628 cabin number

Well I did get Wally out to "trim" the bushes...now we were planning come spring to actually remove the bush as it has gotten so big and taken over the front window....so he started trimming, then he decided he didnt like the way it looked....so he chopped the whole thing down. But I can now see out my window again

But after all this yard work, we cut the lawn then we pulled the garden apart I am so sore I can hardly move. My back and knee is killing me...
tomorrow morning heading to Chicago to visit my dad, he lives on the 3rd floor in a condo.....that should be a challenage getting up the stairs

Glad everyone now has a cabin to sleep in...

later

We are leaving on Oct 26th at noon. If nothing goes wrong this week.

 

[glindamood]

Evening everyone! Hope your weekends have been productive and restful (do those go together??). I got a lot done and organized and feel pretty good about stuff.

I sent another PM to those doing the postcard exchange with all the cabin info.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

I didn't get a PM.
