Yeah!! It worked.

Mouseaumob we are ok with whatever you decide to do. If you want to give one gift per stateroom that's ok...or if you want to do individual gifts that's ok too...we're pretty easy going!

Tarheel_girl what do you think? you guys are in the same situation as us right??

We are in the same situation. Whatever is fine with us too. We know how to share...we both teach Kindergarten. Of course, if you guys want to do individual things for each person, that's fine too. As far as playing dis fairy, why couldn't we leave the 'things' in the metal fish beside the door? I know that's where I've always received my shore excursion tickets, castaway club invite, etc. Just thought that might work. What do you other past cruisers think?

There's a metal fish beside the door? So, that's what they meant on the repo cruise thread when they talked about gifts in their fish holders/baskets/or whatever they said! I was SO confused reading that!

That should work GREAT! I went shopping today and got the COOLEST things! I'm not going to spoil the suprise, but I hope everyone likes them. They should remind you of the dis boards and our smilies...

Thanks Ellen, Lets give it a whirl and see if it worked.

Great Picture!

Hi! Sorry didn't realize you were looking for the missing cruisers. We are a party of 4, me DH, DD (9), and DS (16). We are in cabin #7574, so it looks like windermere judy and us are neighbors.

I notice several boys. Do any of the 8-9 year old boys like to play with 9 year old girls? My daughter 9 is some what of a tomboy and has more male friends than female friends at school. She likes Legos and computer games.

We are staying at the Disneyland Hotel prior to the cruise and taking Super Shuttle.

 

[windermerejudy]

I"M SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!! Skeegan is back in. Yeah. We thought maybe your plans had changed.

I don't know if you got caught up but here it is in a nut shell:
We are all staying all over the place and coming in at different times.
Noone else has really said when they are leaving but we are leaving for the airport at 9:20 per Super Shuttle as well. We are hoping to be there around 10:30. Embarkation we are guessing is at 11:00. If we can find each other in line that would be great. The means for recognizing us at this point is a lime green home depot paint chip placed in a lanyard. Does anyone need a lanyard or plastic thing for the bottom?

Once inside, the plan is to clear up what unmade ressies and dining changes we have. I wonder if we could request to sit near each other ? After that is a rapid lunch at Beach Blanket Buffet for us so we can get a place to sit at the Mickey Pool. We should be hanging out there most of the day. I at some point between time we can get into rooms and boat drill like unpacking so its done. Boat drill (big sigh) and then my favorite part of the cruise----Sail away Party. We definitely want the kids to meet up there.Wear lime green if you have it or your lanyard. We have a door magnet for tag fairy made by MousseauMob and I am making door signs for all with a picture of your family so if you could email me one and leave your email address and I will return a compilation of all the cruisers thus far. We are collecting trinkets for surprises to be left at our doors. The metal fish outside the door is approx 4 inches maybe 3. its clibboard style. I may put my mom on this one. She sews and could probably make a pocket and we could put magnets on the back. Did I miss anything?????

I know my son likes to play with everyone. He is very sweet and kind. It sounds like MousseauMob's son likes everyone too. Poohs4me has to tell us more about her "stepdaughter". I think she is 8. That means they will all be in lab together. They should have fun. I think bearjon had a daughter 15 but they choose not to be a part of us. I guess it was our poor sense of humor.

Poohs4me I don't have your cabin number. Do you not have one YET?
List is this:
windermerejudy (Judy, Dale Drew8, Dane5, Blake Ellise2 GMJeanne) 8564/7570
MousseauMob (Tim, Ellen, Bryce9, Sydney2)------------------------8100
Skeegan (DW, DH, DS16, DD9) ------------------------------------7574
MickeyFan66?Diznefan76 (Elizabeth, Janese)------------------------7125
tarheel_girl (Sherry, Pam)------------------------------------------7000
poohs4me (DD9)--------------------------------------------------?????

I only need poohs4me, and skeegan's photos and we will be done. Unless we find others... Skeegan so good to have you back.

My DS9 will play with anyone. Any age and any gender. He also loves legos and games so they should hit it off fine. Right now he's also VERY into Star Wars.

Yipee, we're at 2 weeks and counting! The excitement is killing me! So, for the experienced cruisers - is it always like this or do you eventually gain some calm?

 

[MousseauMob]

Oh I HAD to share. I'm working on our door decorations and I found a really cute Mickey (in a green shirt) at the computer and I had to add the text Dis Member Onboard. I'd love to hear what you think about him.

Also, here is the magnet for Stateroom Tag. Any ideas, comments, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

[windermerejudy]

Love the tag magnet.

YEA!!!! Two weeks and counting! Mouseaumob, I'm ALWAYS excited to leave for a Disney vacation. I don't think that things will ever change...at least for me!

I love the tag magnet! Great Job!!!!

And WELCOME back skeegan!!!!!

 

[MousseauMob]

I just realized my last message was misleading. When I said I was working on our door decorations, I meant my own door decorations. Judy is doing our wonderful Dis member picture decorations for everyone. For which she deserves a great deal of appreciation and thanks. As well as for being list keeper and chief organizer for our rag-tag group.

Ok fellow scrapbookers I just wanted to share some sites I had for disney clip art and fonts. The fonts are cool - they have Disneyland and Walt's signature font as well as a number of others.

Even if you don't scrapbook, the last site has coloring pages for the kids.

 

[diznefan76]

These are great! Thank you!

Hi guys. I ve been out shopping for the gift fairy and we found exciting things. Yes I too am excited about going every time it doesn't go away. I still get tears in my eyes at watching my childrens faces and hearing the Mickey horn and especially at the characters final farewell---call me silly. I get excited to go down to the parks. I am not sure who wants to go more, me or my kids.

Yes, MousseauMob I would love to use the Mickey at the computer on our signs. Could you please send it to me? You computer people are so much better at all of this than I am. I watch the panama canal video and I realize how computer illiterate I am. It would take me a month to figure out how to do that, if I ever did.

I want to find this secret balcony they all talk about. I've never seen it.

 

[diznefan76]

Windermerjudy the secret deck is right around the corner from our stateroom!!! We'll have to meet up one time and show you!!!!

Is this the one they talk about on deck 7? I don't know where it is either - Oh wait, I don't know where anything is... But, I'm very excited to learn.

I emailed you the image. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to do.

Wasn't the Panama Canal video awesome! I loved it and so did the family. DD2 especially loved seeing Captain Mickey and DS9 enjoyed watching how they raise and lower the ship through the locks.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one that gets a bit weepy - I can't help it and the older I get the more sentimental I get.
