I realize this makes me sound foolish, but what is FE?

I know it is the abbreviation for Iron on the Periodic Table but I'm guessing that's not it.

Not to worry, it originally took me awhile to figure it out.

Outside each cabin door is a decorative Fish, which is used to hold notes, etc. from DCL to the cruiser. A Fish Extender is a hanging item with a series of pockets, depending on how many people are in your group, where fellow cruisers can leave little gifts and goodies.

I'm trying to attach an image from one on eBay. If it doesn't work, you can go to eBay and type in Fish Extender and some will pop up. I just purchased one, customized for my family, from gradysmommy and it's simply amazing.

Just wanted to wish all of my fellow cruise mates a Happy Holiday

Enjoy your day however you celebrate

A couple questions for everyone:
1. Is anyone else doing the WDW half marathon before boarding? Myself and a travel partner are doing it...so, look for me because I am SURE I will be wearing my medal for at least a day!
2. If anyone has booked a couples massage at Castaway Cay and decides to drop it...please let me know...I want it bad!
3. If you get an upgrade after you get luggage tags how does that work?

Merry Christmas Everyone!

LAST CALL FOR TEA

I got a Lime Green Tommy Bahama Sweatshirt for Christmas so I will wear that when we board...and of course my green visor..anyone that wants to meet me at Rockin Bar D to try to get the TEA organized please join me.

I have the list and it has everyone's stateroom numbers. I will do what I can. You regular cruisers know that Palo has a back room for large groups and perhaps they will let us have that..it seats about 10 at least as I recall.

I will be requesting Laura from England as our server...because she is English and a very good server...my back up plan is Tomas who is fabulous as well. If neither of them are available does anyone have any preferences?

I will let everyone know by leaving a note on your FE and I hope to see you all at the MEET. I know its 3 ish and on the Promenade Deck?...is there a more specific location?..I am not sure exactly...my memory you know...

For those of you who are new to the Thread and welcome and if anyone in your party would like to join the ladies tea please let me know asap!

I can answer question #3..... as it just happened to us for this cruise!!

We were told to simply cross off the old stateroom number on the luggage tags... and write the new number on it. I used a bold black marker on the tags we've received so far. We are STILL waiting for 2 sets, there are 7 in our party and 5 of us have the documents so far.

You are all so QUIET!!! Are you all busy packing like me??
I'm so excited! (and I just can't hide it! )

For those of you that have booked the Dolphin push,pull, swim in Cozumel, can you tell me what time Disney says your ressie is? Thanks!

Anne

Yes, we ARE interested in the FE - someone had ask about the children sailing with us.

So...you are or are not interested in the FE??

Hi Anne, my son and I are booked for 10:45 - 2:45. The rest of the family are meeting us at the park.
I can't beleive we are leaving in 8 days and I'm not ready!! Although our order for our FE gifts came in today and I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Pirate costumes are done but I still have my formal night dress to make, 3rd and last attempt at it before I give up and buy something. Other than that I'm pretty much packed and have been for a few weeks now. I just have to light a fire under my teenagers and hubby's butt.

Hi. I had already closed down the sign-up for the FE, but I'll leave it up to the crowd. Does everyone have enough for an extra couple??

 

[nineandcounting]

That's fine - don't worry about it - I just saw your post late, as it was so far back

Let's see what everyone says first.

I know I had a couple of extra things. Everytime I saw Disney anything in the past couple months, my eyes would glaze over, the wallet would come out and I found more stuff on my dining room table the next morning!

I do need your room number for the FE. It's just your hubby and you, correct?

 

[lulu1996]

We will be leaving tomorrow to head to WDW for a few days at the parks, DH and DD will be in the 5K on Friday. I made a FE using directions from the links given to us -- it was fun to do (I used iron-on transfers as I only have an old basic type of sewing machine). We will be looking forward to meeting everyone next week (and getting away from cold weather for several days---we live in east central Illinois and our temperature tomorrow morning will be -2 F). Safe travel wishes to all!

lulu1996 - Dress warm for WDW. It's been very cold for Florida. Forecast is low thirties overnight and low to mid-fifties during the day for the coming week. If the wind picks up, it gets a bit chilly. It's still FAR better than northern temps, but don't expect our usual "summer in the winter" warmth.

UGH...I know it's better then to foot of snow in my driveway that has to be shoveled but...come on Florida warm up! Packing the warm clothes takes up way to much room in the suitcase...I think this will be one of the first times we take our coats with us to Florida instead of leaving them in the car when we reach the airport...

I love the cooler temps here since it gives me an opportunity to wear some winter clothes - lol. In spite of living in FL now, I'm a cold weather person at heart. I don't think you'll need to bring much, but definitely a good warm jacket and if you plan to be outside early morning or late evening, maybe a warm hat and gloves. Then you can layer a lot of lightweight clothes underneath if needed.

Who knows? Maybe warmer days will return soon. Weather forecasters are not always right, but it's better to be prepared.
