[tinkerbell_29]

This is our 2nd time part in an FE and Matt does not get it and thinks I'm insane. I just chose to ignore him.

I'm not sure Bill & Noah get it! We've never participated in an FE.

Either have we......this should be fun!!

It's okay, you're among friends here.......

. . . and the one for 8548, too!

Jamie

Ooooh, I forgot how close our cabins are!

 

[WVMD]

Okay, so much for not paying for our luggage... just discovered (after DH read all the fine print that came in the mail yesterday) that the continental card came with a $375.00 YEARLY fee... so cards cut up and sent back today - I would have to check a whole LOTTA luggage to make that profitable.....

As DH said... I SHOULD have caught that BEFORE I applied....

Sigh......


When is our cruise?

That is just crazy!! Who would pay a $375 yearly fee?

 

[3princessMommy]

Well, as long as the one for cabin 8576 is handmade . . . .

Don't worry - I promise there will be something for everyone and that you've never seen it before (unless you've been to West Africa!) !

OUCH!!!!!

 

[Macavity]

Re: the yearly fee....


Seems this is Chase Banks answer to American Express, as it comes with no pre-spending limit, but does not have to be paid off every month (huh?)...

So for that "priviledge" they charge the fee.

No thanks... if I wanted an American Edxpress Card, I would not have sent mine back many many years ago!

Oh no, she's packaging African dust….

REALLY??!!?! I'm so enamored with Africa that you could stick a rock from your driveway in there and I'd love it!

WOO HOO!

 

[Macavity]

Okay, I think my DD needs to go to WDW... we are on hold with DCL right now and she is adamant that the guy saying "thank you for your time and patience" is the same guy who speaks on the monorail


..and the reason I was on hold was to find out if there is any cat 3’s available on our cruise…

The answer is yes, there is 1 open right now…. And for 2 people the cost is a wee tad over 12 grand….

Now if one of us each would call and put the room on hold for the 24 hours that they will hold a room for w/out a deposit… then we know we would have one available to upgrade to at the port

Wow is that expensive..... I wonder if it's my old Cat. 3 before I upgraded to the 2?

Still working on the FEs... DM wonders why all this craziness!

Wish I had some to show her. It's just Magical, Mom!!!!

But, try as I might everyone's FE is not going to be the same. Sorry - I'm just not going to make it to 39. They will be similar, just not all handmade....

Sorry.

Handmade
I guess I have to volunteer for a non-handmade one...This is my first FE experience and I have to admit mine are not handmade. I feel like I am shorting you all!

And MY DM doesn't know anything about this! She will ask what IS that when we get on the ship but if I told her about the FE her eyes would roll so hard I think they would pop out of her head! She would never understand!

I prefer to keep the peace and leave her unaware as long as possible (and I just said that cuz I really wanted to use that smiley!)

Mine are not homemade either! On the other hand, my mom's are. I'm not sure how I ended up not being a crafty one, when my mom is the Queen of crafts!

I just did all my online check in, filled out the forms, but the Disney Cruise Contract is not lighting up for me to fill out????? There are check marks by each of the forms. What am I doing wrong? Please help me!!!

Did you fill in credit card information for everyone in your reservation? I know I had to do that before I could do that very last step.

If you have done that, then I can't help you

Virgil

Ooooh . . . we've been in two Cat 3 soirees, but I've never seen a Cat 2. If you see a middle aged blonde woman peeking in your door, just ignore me, I mean her.

Don't worry - I promise there will be something for everyone and that you've never seen it before (unless you've been to West Africa!) !

Oooh! How exciting!

Are you from the States originally or from Africa?

The answer is yes, there is 1 open right now…. And for 2 people the cost is a wee tad over 12 grand….

I called before we booked to see about a Cat 3, too, and it was $15K for 4 of us. I asked if they had a FL resident rate on it and the CM giggled.

This is our first FE and I read everything about them before deciding what to do -- and I promise you, most are NOT handmade. We'll love whatever you put together -- it's the excitement of the surprises that is the fun part! My kids cannot believe that there will be 39 surprises in our FE. They're just beside themselves over this!

And yes, 6th Disney cruise for us but our first FE . . . .
