Awesome - you got an upgrade!!! Because you booked cat. 12 it stays listed on the site that way, but that room is definately a cat. 9 ocean view! Congrats!!

 

[tammythetwinsmom]

Only 3 weeks away!!! Wahoo I can't believe we are at only weeks and days now!!

Glad to hear everyone got things settled!

The kids keep saying the cruise is going to be so much fun.. I sure hope they do! I really don't think that will be a problem..

I tried to book the rasul but the times were weird times like at dinner and 8 in the am.. hubby said i don't mind 8 but the clubs don't open till 9! oh well another time! Not that we needed to spend extra money..

Happy New Years.

Congrats on the upgrade and room assignments. Now you don't have to put your FE on that lifeboat you stowed away in...

It's odd that papers haven't come in yet? I've usually gotten them before now?

 

[ganandem]

Wow! Well I guess I should have stoppped complaining every day that our room # hadn't posted. That is worth the wait!!!! Not to mention that they did put our moms right next door at 2048(also un upgrade from a 12 to a 9).
Tammy the Twins mom- We have the Rasul booked on two different days because we are not sure which one will work better. We are definitely going to cancel one of them so maybe we can work that out when we meet at the pool. I'll have to look at which dates and times we have. We chose late seating so they may be during your dinner times. If it would work out though I would definitely try to help you out if you are interested.

That is great news that you got an upgrade! You must have had the some extra pixie dust lying around to get that upgrade fairy to come lol

We are still searching for more FE presents...struggling a bit on idea...how much are you guys spending/did you end up spending??

 

[camaemja]

is there still room for one more. just found about this site. this will be our first cruise with my family of 6, my daughters friend and the inlaws...Help...I am overwhelmed with planning and packing. I feel like this is not going to be relaxing at all...but I am still excited. We are coming from North Georgia. Does anyone have any great tips! Thanks Annie

 

[tammythetwinsmom]

Hi Annie and welcome.. how old are your kids? I've been reading the boards and any questions I have had I ask away.. or ask here!! Our group is awesome!

Mintee.. I haven't spent a whole lot.. don't fret! Anything the kids get in their FE they will love and be thrilled with!! It's the excitement of it all! hey they love candy and bubblegum.. at least mine do!

Oh and in 3 weeks we will be on the ship and have met !! wahoo I just love countdowns!

 

[camaemja]

my kids are 12 11 3 and 7 months. I am new to boards so does DD mean daughter? I planned this cruise when i was pregnant in April to get my mind off a stressful pregnancy. The baby was fine after all so now we get to have a great vacation all together. I have 2 books a friend lent me. She said she had a great time but was exhausted afterwards. I read a couple reviews about the toy story show and was wondering what any of you thought about it. Some say they were disappointed...i was trying to decide whether to skip it or not. I t was one of my favorite movies but the reviews said the kids got bored. Has anyone seen it. And also does youre key to the world card have your picture on it?
What are FE presents....You guys must think im an idiot...LOL

 

[jennyh2829]

No, your KTTW card doesn't have your picture on it.

FE gifts are Fish Extender gifts that are put in pockets by the person's door. We signed up to exchange gifts back in November.

No question is stupid. Ask away....

 

[Pumba's Dad]

Hello Annie and welcome.

We've cruised a few times, but this will be our first where Toy Story is playing. You'll have fun on the ship and so will the kids.

We're counting down the days and packing stuff already.

 

[samily]

Welcome Annie! We haven't seen the Toy Story show yet either, maybe this time... Looks like our kids will be in the same groups in the clubs, my daughter will be 11 at the end of the cruise and my youngest son just turned 4. Do you have boys or girls?

We are planning a Dis meet at 2pm by the Mickey pool - hope to see you there!

I am glad you posted our meetup time..I had forgotten and was too lazy to scroll through the old posts lol! Thanks!

I have read only good reviews of Toy Story so far...so we will have to judge ourselves once we get there!
I have read some interesting reviews of the food though...past Disney cruisers, what is your opinion of the food?

All I know is last time, I gained 8 pounds on the 4 day cruise I have only very happy memories about the food

 

[tammythetwinsmom]

That will be the best part that the food will be prepared for you !!

2pm at the mickey pool hear we come!!

 

[Pumba's Dad]

I have to agree with Tammy. The best part of the food is that we don't have to cook it.

I do have to say, that I prefer the food on Holland America much more. I guess it's more elegant dining. Lobster, escargot, etc...

 

[mintee]

It is funny how much the food differs from each line...we were not a huge fan of the food on RCCL...really enjoyed the food on Carnival, but not the variety between ships (the menu was exactly the same)
I have my fingers crossed for the food on the cruise, but I have to say I am not a fan of the food that they serve at the Parks or the quick service food they serve in the hotels..so we will see lol

So, if you can believe it, I still CANT get my hubby excited about this cruise!!I dont know what else to tell him to get him that way...and it is kind of a buzz kill when you are so excited and the person going with you is like "eh"

 

[tammythetwinsmom]

Mintee I hear you about the buzzkill.. lol.. my husband is the same way!! He thinks I'm addicted.. which I admit I am but this is my time off until March I can play around on the computer! Then I start work 7 days a week until October but anyways he is not as excited as the girls and I am! Course he is really going to get me tonight when I make him try on his new shorts.. I am not taking clothes that do not fit!!! I have made the girls try on their stuff too.. summer seems easier to pack for.. now to figure what we will need in case it is cold in Florida!!

 

[Pumba's Dad]

I finally got my cruise documents today...

 

[tammythetwinsmom]

wahoo!!

We get to go to Disney on ice tomorrow! it will really put us in the mood! we are so close.. I have packed some.. and have a list for the store today!! Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[mintee]

Tammy
