Ok this is what I have. Let me know if I have left anyone out.

3.MousseauMob 8100
4."Tacoma fans" 7125 (2)
5.Tarheel/Meg 7000 (2)
6.Skeegan 7574
7.Diznekids 8538
8.Maurine/Shirlee 8534 (2)
9.MemoryMaker 6034
10.Poohs4me ?
11.WRH3MD 8002

14 people to buy for-------. 13 "kids" ------------------ Total 34 DIS.

I am not sure how we can find out what room number Poohs4me is in. We may just have to wait and see if they come and find us. Maybe they changed their plans or decided they did not want to be a part of our fun. I was planning on placing a door sign and pocket on WRH3MD and hoping they join in on the fun even though we can't seem to find them here at the boards. There was one family that did not want to participate and I removed their name---blanking on it now. I would have to go back, which I don't realllllllllly want to do. The family from Hawaii cancelled awhile ago.

Darn it, I just cut out the Tag Magnet and realized I didn't have WRH3MD stateroom of 8002 on it. I only have the 9 staterooms. I previously told Poohs4me that I would add them by hand when they let me know their stateroom number. I'm out of magnet sheets, so I can't reprint it. So my question is: Should I write 8002 in, or should I wait to see if they would like to be involved? I'm probably oversensitive to this, but I know how uncomfortable I am when people are trying to get me involved in something I'm not interested in.

BTW - thanks everyone for the pixie dust. The storm is clearing out nicely and I have high hopes our drive will be clear. I hope you all have a nice, smooth, and calm flight. Judy, I'm sending pixie dust your way that Blake naps or plays nicely for your flight. You're a brave woman, taking a toddler on a long flight.

Ha, I went to weather.com to check San Pedro, clicked the link, got VERY excited my the mid-80's temps and then realized I was looking at San Pedro, Spain!!!!

San Pedro, California was still low 70's and partly cloudy for our arrival.

 

[windermerejudy]

I think you are right. I am bringing a door sign in case they want to be involved but for some reason never came back here after that first post. Who knows they may be more fun than all of us. (NEVER) I think it would be fine to add them later. We do not want our door magnet ending up on a door that is not participating in tag.

That is too funny about Spain. It probably will warm up by next weekend but it never hurts to come prepared. I took one pair of sweats on the XMas cruise and I think I wore the poor things out. Castaway Cay was frigid. The gift shops were totally sold out of sweats...

BTW we are planning on wearing our green even if its too cold and just having a windbreaker jacket on as well. I wish we could get green balloons.

hey guys...sorry I haven't been on the boards lately....I've been trying to get everything organized and packed...woo...what a job that is...I'm pretty much done....we leave early morning Wednesday so that leave tomorrow for last minute stuff.

Mouseaumob- I would wait to put WRH3MD stateroom # on the tag magnet just incase they don't want to participate. I'm so glad that you have power again so you can start getting things together. That must have been some storm that passed through!

Have you guys checked out debwills website? She has been doing a great job in posting her reports. Sounds like they are having a great time and the weather has cleared up today!

Hey everybody! Just thought I'd check in and tell you that I'm all packed!! We leave NC on Thursday morning, but I have to drive to my sister's house Wed. to be in town to get on the plane. Everything fit in my suitcases too easily...makes me wonder if I forgot something. Guess I'll know in a few days. Hope everyone is having a great evening!!

 

[Mickeyfan66]

I agree with waiting to put the info on the magnet. I would hate for the game to end because someone decided not to participate.

I am finishing up my last load of laundry and am almost done packing and I managed to leave room in my suitcase this time to bring things back. Not sure how I did that, but I am not complaining. More room in the suitcases means more shopping!

As Disznefan76 mentioned, we are on a very early flight (we have to be at the airport at 4:00am on Wednesday). I can't wait. Less then 36 hours and we are on a plane.

Sending Pixie Dust to all those traveling with children. Make sure the Headache meds are close at hand. I remember what those long trips were like when I was a kid and asking "Are we there YET?" every 5 minutes. Good Luck.

I have seen debwills website - she has some great info there. She even posted all the movies they're playing onboard.

Oh, I'm so jealous that you're all packed! As a matter of fact, I'm lime green with envy..

Thanks WindermereJudy for the photo compliment. I realized today that we do not have any recent pictures taken as family. Shutters should come in handy for us on the ship.

Can anyone tell me how the fairy gift exchange works? Should I have something for every family or do we draw usernames to select one family?

BTW. North Central CA warmed up to the mid-80's today.

 

[windermerejudy]

Hey I checked several weather forecasts. I just kept hoping to find a better report that I liked better. The average was 71 high/60 low. That is Florida winter weather

Is anyone interested in joining us at dinner? We have never sat with anyone before.

The gift fairy is just an anonymous fairy (us) who drops little trinkets into pockets we will have on our doors. Nothing elaborate. Candy, keychains, magnets, stickers,......However often you feel led to do it. Half the fun is never knowing who, what, when, how........

Diznekids-----take care and we will see you there. I think you guys leave tomorrow.

Guess that is all for now.

Good heavens Judy, I can't believe you're up and posting. It must be very late in FL. I just thought I'd check one more time, before DS9 and I do our reading, I was suprised to see your post.

 

[windermerejudy]

Jen Matias if you are still checking on us, we are sorry you could not come. I remember you were one of the first I chatted with. I was excited to talk Hawaii to you as it is one of my favorite places and where I got married. That just means you will have to make the grueling 11 hour flight and do DCL from here. It will be worth it.

 

[windermerejudy]

Hey its only 11:45 and all is quiet in my house and I tend to be the night owl in the family. Maybe its the only time of day when I can hear myself think.
Maybe its the precruise excitement ......bet I won't be up this late the night after the cruise.-------oh wait I will be just arriving at the airport. Alright how about the week after the cruise.

 

[MousseauMob]

11:45 is late for me, I'm an early bird. I'm usually up by 4:30am - 5:00am. With that said: Say goodnight Ellen! Goodnight Ellen...

I can't wait to meet everyone.

 

[MousseauMob]

Yipee, we leave tomorrow!

I'm almost done packing and suprise suprise I have an extra empty piece of luggage that we won't have to bring. I thought for sure we would need the entire 8 bags (2 per person), plus carryons. Gee I hope that doesn't mean I've forgotten something important.

 

[Mickeyfan66]

We leave tomorrow too. I can't wait. In just 24 hours, our plane will be landing in LA.

I just received a reminder email from the airlines. I posted the 5 day forcast for LA. According to that info we are looking at Sunny with mid-70's for the next several days.

Have a great flight, have a great time at DL and we'll see you on the cruise!

 

[windermerejudy]

Girls, I am going to miss you for the next 3 days "until we meet again" (the first time in person) The updated weather is good. We had a horrific storm here this morning don't know if it was the same one but we lost our power. Torrential rain and lightning. Would not have wanted to be on the Magic for that one.

Be careful and good luck with the shuttle times. I hope all goes smoothly. We are only the 2nd bunch of guinea pigs but hopefully they will iron out the details from this weeks shortcomings whatever they were.

 

[dletz]

My sis is on this cruise, though not part of the disboards. If anyone sees a Karen from California, say hi to her. We'll be driving my sis to the port, then hanging around to see her off. We'll be bringing our Mickey hands we got when we saw the current cruise off.

Have a fun trip. I'll be lookin out for Live from threads to see how its going.

Donna

 

[windermerejudy]

Hi Donna, your sister should come hook up with all of us crazy DIS people. We will all be there in our lime green.
