Magic Christmas Cruise 2010 (Dec 18th - 29th) **** PART III ****

[skypixy]

If I remember right it has to be at the warehouse by Wednesday prior to sailing. I am thinking I will be good if I mail it priority mail on Monday. My other thought was to mail it to AKL since we will be there prior to the cruise. I will see how much I can get in the box.[/QUOTE

On the FAQ link of the forum it says that boxes must be in by Fri. for a 7 day cruise, wed. For a 4 night cruise. So, Friday the 17 th?

Just an FYI to people who have reservations in Cocoa Beach for the shuttle launch, it has been delayed until February.

 

[STLUCIELADY]

wait a minute...

3 pair of shoes...

My DW Amy told me that its in the DCL rule book that women must have at least a different pair of shoes for each day of the cruise.

That is why I have her heels in my suitcase.

I think I better find those cruise documents and start reading...

Oh cool! I didn't know that. So since I have 2 daughters that are the same size shoe, it looks like we need to take 33 pairs of shoes.

Bummer! I had just gotten an email from our Senator getting us tickets to the Launch! Safety first!

18 FE's bagged and tagged. I'm on a ROLL!

Wait! We have to tag our FE gifts

 

[BBQMommy]

Mine are all in brown lunch bags (unused) and I have the DIS board name and room number written (tagged) on the bottom. Mine are all similar but not identical. Rooms with kiddos are getting something different than rooms without kiddos.

PS - up to 33!

My FE device thing has 3 pockets. Assuming some others have a similar set up? My FE gift is for each cabin - in what pocket do I put the gift? If I put in the kid's pocket will they kid think it's just for him/her and not share? Will the parent's think that? Or do I just look for a pocket, any pocket, where it will fit and hope the cabin figures it out??

 

[STLUCIELADY]

Getting ready to leave. Heading up to Disney. Going to Downtown Disney to make our family shirts and Santa hats tonight. Citricos (sp?) for dinner. Early to rise tomorrow to go for the taping of the Disneyworld Christmas Parade! So darn excited!!! Then over to Westside to go to Cirque de Soleil. Woo Hoo!!! Daughter won tickets.

I just wish it wasn't so darn cold.

PM sent, Joann - thanks!

Caret Island does look lovely. I think it would have been our choice if DD6 would have been a little older. Doing beach at St. Thomas and of course Castaway Cay will be a good initiation for her

At Vera B. I ended up getting an ID holder, lanyard, and a tech holder that can hold my camera and clip to the lanyard if needed - all Blue Rhapsody and all on sale

There is liquid in my FE baggies, so I will not be mailing them ahead. Was a good thought though. Easier to bring along.

Back to it!
Caryn

Liquid??? Is it 80 proof??
Here's hoping....

I'll never tell. You'll just have to wait.

(Though living in a dry county, I would not be holding my breath ...)


Up to 48.

Cold or warm -- what a day!!!

36 FE all done! Others are in process of drying, waiting for bags, etc. Almost there! Good thing since it's waaaay late and time for bed!

Talk to everyone tomorrow!

Nite!

Having a hard time making my mind up on the Vera Bradley site ...

Caryn

One of everything?!? I finally broke down and got a large duffel and love it for my carry on. In fact in the terminal if you see someone with a big orange Vera bag it's probably gonna be me!

My FE device thing has 3 pockets. Assuming some others have a similar set up? My FE gift is for each cabin - in what pocket do I put the gift? If I put in the kid's pocket will they kid think it's just for him/her and not share? Will the parent's think that? Or do I just look for a pocket, any pocket, where it will fit and hope the cabin figures it out??

We usually do one gift per cabin and it goes into whatever pocket is empty! Usually, unless there's matching items in each pocket we figure it's something to share. But my 3 year old (DH) is bigger than most!

Working on Cindy's cruise binder still.....how can I whiz through all the other stuff and get stuck on this one?

Any of the folks that have early dining - if you'd like to sit together in the dining room (not necessarily at the same table - but in the same general vicinity), please PM me your reservation number and name. I can then put a request in for DCL to put folks together.

Just let me know.

Joann

That's a great idea! I'll PM you our info....

Michelle, if we'd like to sit our families together, let's chat on the 17th and maybe we can link our dining at check in / embarkation??

 

[Disney Rocks]

I have sent some PM's out for cabin numbers which I don't have for the Secret Mickey Gift Exchange. Please send your cabin number asap if you haven't already. I really don't want anyone to be left out who has signed up for this exchange. Everyone has been paired up and info sent. If you have signed up and have any questions and need more information, please let me know asap as people are starting to leave on their vacation.

See Ya Real Soon.

 

[Three at Sea]

Ok sounds like we are all stressing into the final countdown! I leave tomorrow for England on business and my new LBD has not yet arrived from Overstock and my back of the pack shirt from zazzle hasn't either, yikes

I come home on Dec 10 so hopefully I won't get snowed in there in enough time to get home, pack and leave for our flight to Orlando Dec17....wish me luck!

 

[Evans Family]

Uggg!

Just got my new Nook and went to download Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows only to find out none of the HP books are available for e-readers.

so disapointed

Can someone send me the link to the final FE list? I still need to print it out. I think there are others who need to do the same.

 

[Lolobellica]

Would love your opinions! Is it better to get my DD princess dresses in Orlando, and if so WHERE? or wait 'till we get on the boat. Having never been to Orlando OR a cruise I'm not too sure what to expect.

Very disappointed about the shuttle launch. That was the thing DH was most looking forward to

Hoping to start packing this weekend, but I'm feeling very overwhelmed!!! Must plan to do it with a bottle of wine!

I also do not have a final list for the FE's. Can someone pm it to me?

I found all of the Harry Potter books in pdf format and downloaded them to my Kindle.

I don't think I've seen princess dresses on the ship before. So I'd have to go with get them beforehand. Either Disney store, or online, or Bibbity Bobbity.

The Final FE list is the same link that Tink's Mischief sent out originally in PM. It's just been updated. I'll have to dig through my PMs and see if I can find it.
