Fellow DISers:

Finished FE Deck Map. It is a PDF and can be accessed one of two ways:

Let me know if this map works for you and if any changes need to be made.

Hope to post by end of day our Meet and Greet Notice.

Only 9 days to go!

FE done, individual FE gifts done, Pirate gear ready, putting final touches on family FE gifts, some door magnets to print ... then pack and board plane.

Looking forward to meeting everybody.

Robert

Thanks!

We're still looking for our pirates league stuff

Just downloaded maps. FANTASTIC it will be sooo easy now

No need to worry about gift size with us. Savannah didn't like the FE pockets so we built a Jake and the Never Land Pirates TEAM TREASURE CHEST!! (the all caps words are screamed in a 3YO voice.)

 

[gatorfreud]

oooh i can't wait to see that!!! awesome!

Thanks again, Robert, for the maps. It does make things a lot easier to be able to see where everyone is located to plan out delivering the gifts.

I remember reading somewhere that because the Dream is so big, it is easier to deliver the gifts to the staterooms when dividing them according to sections - forward, middle, aft, instead of decks. Even though there are a lot of us on deck 6, it will take a long time to walk the whole thing. Just a thought I wanted to pass along.

Can't wait til next week!

I think I've got the kids taken care of for Pirate Night. I don't have anything special planned for DH and myself, though. What do adults usually wear (or what are you all planning to wear)?

Robert - If there are any stateroom changes, how are we handling them? Someone had a last minute change the last time we did the FE group.

Come join us for our DIS Greet and Meet:

Our group will be the ones with the Green Fishhook ID hanging from their lanyards (smiling, laughing, having a good time).

See you there!

Those attending the Meet and Greet can communicate any change(s) to the rest of us. Also, I will have a roster magnetically attached to my cabin door with a pen attached (after 2:00 pm Friday). Any updates should / can be made to the roster by the DISer whose information is changed. Each FE participant should / can check the roster for updated information.

Will this work?

You're very welcome. Walking is great exercise - who knew Fish Extender could be healthy!

Hopefully, none of us will gain weight while on vacation ... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-2138863/Cruise-food-Passengers-stone-weeks-says-survey.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

I figured I will gain some - I lost a few beforehand, figured I 'll likely gain it back! Or I will speed walk to all the FEs! Hahaha!!

The door idea to change cabin #s is great. That will totally work!

DH and I are dressing up full out for pirate night, with the kids! Well, my little one is anti-everything clothing, so he may or may not...

If I get too hot I plan to keep the pirate skirt and head wrap, and change into flip flops and a tank top!

I think a bandana on the head is perfect pirate wear! And maybe some black and red!?

Sounds perfect!! Thanks for doing so much to organize our group!!

We don't really have any pirate wear, but I believe everyone is given a pirate bandanna at dinner. At least that's what we received on our only other Disney cruise 5 years ago. Some people go all out when dressing up, but a lot just dress for dinner.

I'm one of those that goes all out for Pirate night. I have put together outfits for my two granddaughters. Don't know what my daughters will wear. My favorite thing is to get picture with Captain Jack Sparrow on Pirate night.

Based on my previous cruises with DCL, everybody should get a special pirate bandana at dinner on Pirate night.

We are getting more and more excited with just a few days to go. We leave Thursday to drive down to my in-laws house in Vero Beach...We are very excited about meeting everyone. See you all on Friday!

 

[Spiffie]

All I can say is WOW WOW WOW! This was the BEST FE group EVER! I am even trying to steal some of the items that were given to my kids!

I am just in awe of the time, creativity and generosity. Saying THANK YOU doesn't seem like enough! But, thank you ALL for everything!

 

[disneymeister]

Ditto! Wow! Wish we were getting right back on board again! The fish extender items were truly amazing, Thank You one and all!

 

[gatorfreud]

Sooooo sad it's over. I can hardly believe it! Thanks everyone do much for making the cruise extra special!!!!
