Well Chrisse we haven't started our FE's yet so if your bored...
Huh look at that I had post 900
welcome to our new sailing companions.
All my FE stuff is 100% store bought! I know, sad but I have about as much craftiness as a rock! Sorry to dissapoint all the FE membersThe only place I have any talent is on the computer, and not alot there either
Look at you go Sheila! now you just have to post more to beat Kelli and Lynn on the chat meter! lol <3
hmm post enough to beat Kelli and Lynn or sleep...I think i will let them keep their titles.
we are hoping to make ours but its just a matter of deciding on which idea is doable and then ofcourse actually doing it.![]()
We are letting DS wear his Pirate halloween costume(go figure we are going on a crusie with a pirate theme and he decides to dress up as a pirate...lol). DD, DH and I have scarf hats and maybe eye patches but I think thats about it.
Ok.... this is the update on the pillowcases....
I did NOT find any charges to my paypal for the $50.00 I got the email about so I am not sure what happened there but keeping an eye out. Also I finally received a reply from the seller. It reads as follows...
Hi there,
Boy did I mess that one up! I guess I was thinking anyone cruising in Jan. must be on the Dream. LOL The funny thing is we will be on the Magic the week before you on an Eastern cruise. I will put new pillow cases in the mail for you today or tomorrow. I've already printed the shipping for them I just have to get them on the machine.
So I will not need your friend Kelli.Not unless they do not show up that is...lol. Thank you for being so wonderful! And thank you everyone for allowing me to vent and stress online.
I actually came up with another idea and did it all myself! I will post it. I have not decided exactly how I am going to do it yet but I am thinking maybe the Pirate Mickey head on the front like a name tag and the new design on the back but I may just put the main design on the front. Anyways, here is my idea
For the boys...

For the girls...

As you can see, I accomplished little around the hosue today...lol. I did however finish up all my FE's with spares for new sign ups(hopefully) and am ready FE wise!
I am running out of things to work on though...and I still have 66 days till our vacation starts!
Hello All - just found out about this forum on Cruise Critic. Looks like it will take some time to get up to speed. We too are booked for this sailing. Our party consists of 6 adults and 5 children (ages 13, 8, 8, 8, and 4). I am not sure whose more excited! I have sailed on the Magic four times previously and have made many great friends. Hope to make some new ones!!!! WOW less than 70 days till sailing - YEAH.
Hey there! I followed the link here from the Cruise Critic site, and have really been getting a lot of valuable information. Thanks so much for all the tips. I hope you'll bear with me, as I this is my first time on a Disney cruise and I have absolutely no experience with discussion boards!
My little family of three will be joining you all on this cruise, and we could not be more excited! After reading as many pages of this thread as my tired old eyes will allow, I've decided that my daughter would get a kick out of FE's. I clicked a link to send a PM to Tinkerkell123, but I saw a message that reads "Until your post count reaches 10, you will be able to PM staff only." So is it ok to just include our info here? We'd also be interested in participating in meet-ups, if there are any scheduled.

I am too not so crafty but I am attempting some homemade FE's...hopefully they turn out ok. If not, hope ya'll don't laugh when you get them!Just remember, it's the thought that counts right???

Yay!! So glad she did the right thing with the pillowcases! And it got me going on a new design for this year for the kids!
Thanks! I was so happy to see her email. What are you doing for the kids? I can send you the pics of the old cases if you need ideas.
Okay, I am totally stealing those for t-shirts if you don't mind! They look fabulous!
You and anyone else interested is more than welcome to use that design! I find it very flattering you would even want to!
Welcome aboard!! Glad to have y'all along... Check out post 37 for some info on what we have planned. PM me when you can if you want to participate in any of it...
Hi and welcome!! Glad y'all are joining us! I will send you a PM with my e-mail address and you can send me the info I need there, okay?
I beg to differ on your assessment of your computer skills! I think you are fantastic at it!
Thank you! My DH said the same thing when he read my post.
Come on now, I have already fallen in my post status, don't make it worse!
Now that is 2 milestone posts you missed!
YES, IT IS!!!![]()
Yay! Gettin' closer!Had fun this weekend trying on a bunch of clothes for dinner. Still not TOTALLY settled on what to wear for formal, but I've got semi-formal night and most of the rest decided... Trying to decide between long white satin gown or long red gown... Decisions, decisions... Plan to start major pre-packing Thanksgiving weekend as I would not be caught dead near a retail establishment then...

RED GOWN! Can you imagine sitting for dinner and oopsing something dark down your white gown just because the seas are a little rough?! I would be devistated for you! Did you pick up those shoes?
I tried on some new dresses this weekend but not really set on any yet. I found the shoes I wanted but they didn't have my size in. Hopefully my nieces roommate will find some before I go back to the city! And if I don't find a dress I like by next trip in, I may just go naked!!!OK! No one wants to see that! so I will probably wear my carwash pants for both formal and semi formal.

I asked Kayle what he thought we should do for the teens in our group and he said "it really won't matter mom. They will love just getting something for them." I debated on which direction I wanted to go. More adult or stick with the theme I have for the kids... I think what I did will work though.(I HOPE)

i would say red dress for the same reason and the one pic i have seen of u was in your red shirt and red looks great on u.
btw was there a dress u were NEEDING a while back or was that shoes?
ok i just had a vision of formal night and Kelli is wearing white with a huge wine stain down the front and Chrisse is naked. Have fun with your dining mates Lynn![]()
These are car wash pants....

I would imagine because of the pannels that hang down over the pants kind of like at a car wash?....Just my guess. Mine do not have the tie on the waist though.
I promise I will not come to dinner naked any night on the cruise! You can hold me to that...![]()

Fourth I'm PREGNANT and dealing with morning sickness!
I'll be 17 weeks by the cruise

Ill try to read threw the older posts but if someone could give me a quick updated I'd be so thankful
Hope all is going well for everyone, and I cant wait tell we all get to share in a wonderful and magical cruise

Ha ha ha! Seriously...
After about, oh, three hours of trying to read this entire thread (with little side-trips to the many included links), I am once again on DCL message-board overload. Despite reading the instructions for responding to many posts at once, I still couldn't manage to figure it out but I'll keep trying. In the meantime...
Kelli, I sent you an e-mail from my gmail account with all our details for the FE exchange. Thanks for letting us join in! Also, I think I saw that you posted an earlier message about people who play spades. I love to play! And one more thing...the "Wilmington" in my screen name is Wilmington, NC, so I am glad to see another Carolina Girl will be on the ship.
I don't think I can come up with eight more random things to post, so until I am part of the in-crowd I will just have to e-mail I guess. I did manage to make myself a little signature line, though, so there's that. You're all kind of intimidating with your 900,000 posts and your dancing emoticons. I can work Facebook like a pro, but I seriously feel like a total dork on here! But that won't keep me from posting.
Oh, and please forgive me if I ask a question that has already been answered. I really will try to read the entire thread, but I might not succeed. I do have to: shop (for 3), pack (for 3), get passports (what?), berate my TA for not hooking me up with any KSF promos, find/buy a FE, lose about 20 lbs, and the list goes on. I will definitely stay caught up once I GET caught up! SO EXCITED!!
Thanks again for all the tips!
