Happy 4th of July

 

[MDennis28]

Hi! I am on this cruise with a great friend. Both celebrating birthdays and looking forward to a super fun week! We are part of a FE for this cruise, our very first one ever. Can't wait to meet you all! Is there a place we will meet to get to say hello early in the cruise?

Can't wait to meet you and your friend - we haven't set the meet location yet. We don't want to make all the decisions yet - still lot's of time

Two birthdays celebrations - awesome! I'll add you both to the Celebrations list - what are your names? So is this your first Disney cruise and/or first FE? I can add you to the FE for this cruise, if you like

Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable 4th of July!

We are spending it at Disney, staying at Saratoga Springs.

If you are bored and want to look at some Disney food, I am doing a dining report. Its the July 2013 one in my signature.

Saratoga Springs sounds fun. It's our home resort, but we've never stayed there - we always end up on a cruise

I loved the food photos - you made me hungry

I found a few minutes to stop over here and let everyone know that I have put the spreadsheet up for everyone to fill in their info.

I have run the Fish Extender, T-Shirts, and many other things on almost all of our other cruises. If anyone does not want me doing this, then please let me know.

I will be designing the T-Shirt for everyone in the next month or so, and then put them into production.

Thanks...

See you all over on Facebook...

I think I have the first FE covered. The basics are on the first post here (18 cabins so far). For participants, I have a spreadsheet going with the all the details. For easy FE gift planning, it's broken out by cabin and family then grown ups (men/women) and the kids (gender/age). Also celebrations and relationship to other cruisers are included. Let's see about working together

I was reading your Disney Contest Blog post. Tell me more about the Yankee Trader. Sounds like fun

It's cool that you and Debbie make and sell FE, magnets and t-shirts. Are you currently doing the magnets and FE pockets? Are they available on eBay or Etsy? I can't wait to see what you design for our cruise. Put us down for three shirts... I won't know the sizes for a while. The kid keeps growing ... and I'm thinking about shrinking

 

[Dis_Yoda]

We're home from Disney & settled.

Speaking of shrinking, I didn't gain weight at Disney! I also put on my yoga paints that I wear to the gym sometime & they were falling off while trying to run on the treadmill today for the first time since having these pants & my body fat was down 2%. I guess I did something right this trip.

I still have 50 lbs more to lose but that should be long gone by the time I get on this cruise though if I keep to it. Weight loss for me has been a long time battle. I'm down 50 lbs from my biggest which was in April 2011. When I changed jobs that month to my last company, I lost 25 lbs within 3 months when all that stress went away. Another 15 lbs came from stopping drinking regular soda. The last 10 pounds has been over the past 2 months as I started going to the gym and now working on cutting out all diet soda. It also helps that my current job has a lot of alternative health benefits, where 80% of all alternative health is covered (supplements from certain websites, massages, aromatherapy, essential oil therapy, etc) and up to $300 is reimbursed per calendar year for gym memberships, race fees, work out equipment (except gym clothes, shoes, etc). It definitely helps promote being a healthier person. I'm using myfitnesspal to help track my calories & work outs.

My husband since April 2012 has lost about 50 lbs but he's been a gym junkie for the past year.

How awesome for you both. My hubby and I dropped about 50 lb each about 3 years ago. I've had a little sneak back, so I'm on a mission this summer as well

Hello everyone,
My husband and I will be on this cruise and so very excited, especially since we have the cruise paid off already. It will just be us, and in December we will be cruising with our twin grandsons.

On the last couple DCL cruises that we've been on we named the cruise. The last one was a West Coast Pixar cruise... "To San Francisco and Beyond" was a natural fit. One of our DIScruisers was so creative, she made us a logo as well. It was fun to see the name and even the logo on some of the homemade FE gifts - totes, magnets and notebooks. I know John (TECHJPM) has some great ideas and is working on a T-shirt.

We're still more than a year from our Jamaican cruise, so I'm not sure when we want to settle on a name. We'll have lots more cruisers join as we pass the 12 month and 9 month marks. I'm thinking the annual cruisers will be joining us after booking aboard their 2013 cruises.

Maybe it's not to early to start "floating" some names - but I'm thinking we should hold off voting for a while so everyone has a chance weigh in ??? What does everyone else think ?

Have you checked out milliesky's threads? Another idea is to use her Disney filled alphabets to create your name.

Here's a litle something I pasted together for you using her alphabet:
