Just got the go ahead from my husband! woo too! We are bringing our 3 year old son and we have a bun in the oven! Super excited!!

Does anyone that will be in Galveston the night before want to meet to let the kids get started to know each other? We haven't made our reservation anywhere yet but I'm thinking about Harbour House.

Welcome aboard! Don't know if you've looked into it but if you want to join the fish extender exchange (FE) the cutoff date for new additions is tomorrow, December 2nd. Let me know! \

I think we're going to stay at the Harbour House too but I'll have to confirm with the hubs.

I sent you an email yesterday before I posted my message. Let me know if you didn't get it.

Wow Diane! That's a looong drive. I'm up in San Jose and have done the drive to Texas a few times, plus kids have school, so driving out would never work. We are using mileage to fly in, so that was a no brainer for us.

I don't think I got it but it's not uncommon for my email address to get misspelled. It's: sweetpee _ 1993 @ yahoo.com....just take out all the spaces and make sure there's no "a" in sweetpee. My husband has always been a bad speller. That's how he spelled it when he had my wedding band engraved once upon a time.

We are at Harbor House and will arrive after dinner on Thursday. Definitely interested in a kids' meet up! Can't wait for January...it's been a loooong 9 months keeping this magical secret

Im staying at Harbor House the night before as well, and while I have no kids to throw in the mix, would LOVE to meet up with some people

If there's any meets the night before the cruise be sure to post them here so I can attempt to join in. I'm usually pretty busy the night before packing and cleaning but I could try to schedule a drive down to the island.

***ATTENTION EVERYONE ~AND~ FISH EXTENDER PARTICIPANTS***

I'm not on the FB group so I'm not sure if there's been any discussion over there about an embarkation day group meet. When we sailed the Magic last May the group met up at 3:00 in the Promenade Lounge on deck 3 (aft according to DCL's website but it's situated between the midship & aft elevator banks). If there's no other embarkation day meets I would like to suggest this same time & location because we found it quite convenient. It'd be great to have the chance to say hello to everyone and start getting to know our shipmates.

Fish Extender participants, it's particularly important to set up a spot to meet up on embarkation day prior to sail away so if there's any stateroom number changes I can get that info distributed to everyone. I'll send out an email to everyone on the list once the sign-ups close and the list is final. I'll be giving you my cell phone number that you can text any stateroom number changes on embarkation day. At the group meet I'll double-check to make sure there's no other issues with the stateroom numbers so nobody misses out on the exchanging. I'm not anticipating a lot of changes considering how sold out the cruise is but just in case I want to make sure I'm clear how we'll handle this stuff. I'll send out more details with the email next week.

Anywhoo, since I'm not on FB I'd appreciate if someone could copy/paste the embarkation meet suggestion over there if there's not been one set already. If there's been an embarkation day meet already set up please let me know what was discussed.

Also, if anyone would like to try to plan some other meets during the cruise we can do that. During an at sea day meeting pre-lunch can be fun to do so everyone can split off to whatever restaurant they're planning to go to in groups and sit together to visit over a meal. Just a suggestion. Oh! And maybe we could try to meet on the deck 7 "secret deck" sometime! That'd be neat!

So excited! My oldest discovered the surprise. That kid is too clever for his own good sometimes. The youngest still is utterly clueless and, thankfully, everyone is still committed to making it a big surprise for him on Christmas.

Hi sweetpee... Could you email me the link to the FE document as well, please? Thanks!

 

[couturegirl]

Just looked over the FE group, and we have a great list! I am so excited!!! Getting my thinking cap on to figure out what to make for you lovely people!

 

[Irelandsmom]

Are any of you staying at Hotel Galvez the night before the cruise and are also interested in doing a meet (especially for the kids)?
Also if you booked Hotel Galvez through Disney and are taking Disney transportation to the hotel, what time are you transferring to the hotel on the 17th? Do you know the details/times of how we catch the transfer from IAH?
Thanks!

I'm having so much fun at my parent's house in Alabama crafting away on my FE gifts. Definitely has made for a fantastic time for my mom & me. I can't wait for Christmas to finally get the cat out of the bag! Hubby texted me from work this morning in Texas, he's ready for vacation!

Ooh, FE night! That sounds fun! I haven't started my projects yet. I will work on them while the boys are out for the winter break.

So, um, I'm one that will have a new stateroom number........And a new total number of guests. But I think it's too late to change that for the FE and that's okay. We decided to invite a little girl (not family) who would NEVER get this opportunity any other time. I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited for her. Who's ready for Jan 18th??? We are!!!

 

[boatcrew]

We are fine with adding one more girl to the FE list and will plan to bring her a gift. Good for you for opening your heart and inviting her !!
