Hi Mickeyhugger - my DD15 will be with us along with DD12. The kids have a thread they are chatting on but it seems only the younger ones have been posting.

My DD15 is happy to know there will be others her age in this group as well. She is a great babysitter here at home.

Hi everyone! I have been on here a couple of times trying to get signed up for the FE. I don't really know what I am doing and I think I am posting in the wrong places. Anyway, we would love to be included on the FE too! If there are too many, how about starting a second group? We are so excited! I have been sewing lots of new little Disney outfits for my girl as well as trying to run off these winter lbs! I can't wait!

Your in! You may have just missed my post. Check page one of this thread to see where the current list of FE participants is... something like page 8 post #190 or so.
I made the assumption that Morgan is a daughter... correct me if I'm wrong.
I plan to get the FE list even more organized today and will send it out.

My DD14 said she can't remember the last time she emailed someone, that all online communication is on Facebook... for better or worse (I have stories!)

I will PM you with her info and your DD15 can friend her...

Thanks Marcy! Yes, Morgan is my daughter. We still are waiting on a room #.

Stinasmom - thanks. I will see if she wants to chat with her. As for Facebook, I am not a big fan either.

Rob - you taunt me.... this is my backyard right now:

I am planning on getting that hot tub back up to speed. I won't let the family out there when it's less than 10 degrees!!

More snow in the forcast. At least I enjoy the break from yardwork!

Marcy

Well I guess that I got paid back today for me taunting you, it was 33 degrees today and SNOWED for 4 hours My palm trees out by the pool are sagging with all the snow on them

We as a family do not deal well with cold weather Give us a 90+ degree day out by the pool with something cooking on the grill and we are a bunch of happy campers

The girls and I booked all the excursions the other night and it looks like we have everything done including the hotel, now we just have to wait

[jennyh2829]

I still need to book my hotel....I really want to stay at the Hyatt at MCO but I don't wanna pay that price...keep hoping it will come down.

You can buy one of their "stay certs." for $139 if I remember correctly. Being spring break I do not think you will see a price drop.

What is a "stay certs."? How would I get it? Right now the price is $152

Wow $152 is a good deal, when we were not able to get the certs. we had been paying $199.

The stay certs are a pre pay certificate that you buy directly from Hyatt. I go to their web site and call the 1-800 # to buy mine.

Hi everyone! We'll be adding to the Canadian content on the cruise on March 12! It's our first cruise ever...myself, hubby (30's), DD10 and DD7. Our oldest daughter is looking forward to meeting others around her age before we sail.
Any advice for first time cruisers would be helpful, too!

Hi there, We're also first time Canadian cruisers on the Mar 12 Eastern Caribbean. Myself & DH (40's) and we also have DD10 and DD7. Sounds like there'll be lots of Canadians on board. Can't wait!

 

[Michelle064]

We're booked for Cat 6A on GTY status. Does anyone know when the stateroom assignments will be available?

ONLY 61 MORE DAYS!!!!!

Michelle064!

More the merrier! Yes, looks like a lot of Canadians and Texans!
Did you just find the DIS?
Have you cruised DCL before?
Interesting that you have a 6A GTY... the cat. 5-6 are pretty much sold out, guess this is where they start shuffling people around and some may get upgrades! Don't think it will be us, we have adjoining rooms and a linked ressies. Oh well... (OH, and I don't know when they finally assign the rooms, could be pretty close to sail date... sorry!)

Only 2 months people!!

More snow predicted to day, 4-9 inches. Usually when they predict it a day or more ahead it doesn't happen, it's the storms they didn't seem to see that dump the most snow on us!

Everyone have a great day!

Lots of kids in this age group just on this thread! We have a DD8 and DD10 and the friends coming with us have a DD7 too! (and an adorable, I mean handsome DS4!).

Have your daugthers go to our kids thread....My girls have posted a couple times and keep asking me if there's any new messages! I think the "older" girls (10, 11, 12) are making plans for movies, ice cream and "Mickey" hunts on Castaway Cay! Here's the link: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2623984

Should be a fun trip! Worked on my FE's this weekend....now, I just need to see if I can pack it all (my sister took one look at my projects and said I was nuts!).

Small world. We're from Kitchener. My sister lives in Paris and my inlaws are from Glen Morris.

Only 60 more days! I'm soooooo excited!
