March 15, 2015 MAGIC Cruise!! :)

[Bearybear]

@Bearybear my Dad is a HUGE Vikings fan and he's joining us this cruise, I will tell him there are some Minnesotans onboard, that will make his trip

My husband is from Wisconsin and therefore is a Packers fan, as is my son. So I don't know that he'd be interested in meeting Packers fans ;-)

TeeHee it is possible; I am Giants fan so we are often at odds

@papertraveller we have confirmed our cabins if you can please add our DD's to your pixie dust list she's 9 (5506). Thanks so much and we're packing the Canadian goodies for random FE drops . Let me know if there are any requests (Coffee Crisps, Maple Cookies )

Oh the packing! DS is heading to Italy for his school March Break trip so we're double disorganized; tropical stuff for we 3 cruisers and Euro stuff for him; as well as fighting for the travel size toiletries...

Please don't let there be any work emergencies in the next 4 days!!!

Oh my!!

Congrats on the cabin assignment. I'll add you to the pixie dust list for sure. Something special in our bag for her, for sure!

Will you be at the meet and greet? I look forward to meeting you! (I went to school in Ottawa!)

Got all the clothes packed today and a dent in the toiletries. I was hoping for 3 suitcases but with the dress up clothes and FE stuff I broke down and went to four. We will still have to do some laundry at some point!

Tomorrow I need to run get a few last minute things and plan to pick up a few extra goodies for our pixie dust listers.

Very busy week ahead. I agreed a few months ago to work Friday night not thinking about the fact that we have to leave the house by 6am Saturday ! Eeek..may not sleep!!! But heck not sure I'd sleep anyhow!!!

 

[kuhltiffany]

Well, the FE/pixie dust goodies, kids stuff, toiletries and medications are packed. Just DH and I to go…the piles and lists are key though! Not to mention all the travel organizing still to do…

Getting to sleep tonight will be impossible though, I hate trying to get back on track after time changes!

 

[Madzac]

Got my trip to Target done and can say I'm 95% packed! Pixie dust listers I grabbed some goodies for you today as well. Now to just get through a few more days!!!!

I will make an appearance at the Meet and Greet as the DISBoards events are the highlights of my cruises Once you have lived in Ottawa you're always an Ottawan

 

[Tutus22]

You're in! Sorry for the late reply. I've been swamped with stuff, let's just leave it at that!

There have been changes to the Latecomers List. Please check it to be sure. The threads on page one of the thread are updated.

PLEASE NOTE:

Many people do not yet have stateroom numbers. Please send me a note as soon as you know yours. I will be updating the list until Saturday, March 14.

I will be posting the two lists on our stateroom door: we are in 2560. If you take the central stairs down from the atrium, you will be facing the Edge. Take a left, and then a quick right and you can't miss it.

If you have any changes after that time, please let me know. I will post them on the door.

However, I would recommend that if you want to be sure that all your gifts find you, that you bring your own list of stateroom numbers and make a courtesy phone call to each room in the group to advise them of your change.

Okay, I felt bad that I hadn't done Group 2 as well, so I created one for that group. I'm still waiting on stateroom numbers for @ank and friends, but otherwise it should be good to go. I'll supply the final document to @papertraveller when finished for posting.

I'm not creating one for the Pixie Dust list, you'll just have to add them to your sheet manually. Sorry! I didn't know a good way to add those two staterooms without them looking strange. I'm definitely open to suggestions!

Hi!! My family is room 6039 and the Cates are room 6041!
Thank you doing this!!

Great find on that link! Everything I had seen was at least a year old. It includes some excellent tips, I'll definitely be getting a t-shirt pre-run. I can't wait! Laying off the bad food and remembering to follow my running schedule will be easier now that I've read that summary.

I don't think it's meant to be super competitive - everyone gets the same medal. I've heard of others who have walked the entire 5K. The other thing to keep in mind is that you can walk the course any time during the day if you don't care about the medal.

However, I've also heard that they only give out medals to those who complete the 5K within a set time - some have said 45 minutes, others have said an hour, yet others have said different times. I'm shooting for coming in under 45 minutes. I don't know if I'll make it, but I'm going to try.

The DCL website has very little info on the 5K, so I don't have many answers. Search the boards for info. With runDisney taking over the CC5K, I really don't know what to expect. I've got a bunch of questions for Guest Services when I register, hopefully they'll have some answers! Otherwise, I'll find out the morning of the run.

Hi!! My family is room 6039 and the Cates are room 6041!
Thank you doing this!!

Thanks! I'll get an updated document prepped and posted tonight!

 

[papertraveller]

Just a reminder to those in the second FE group, if you do not have 10 posts I cannot send you Nike4000's amazing document. Trust me, it's worth it!
Come on and add a few posts and I'll have it on the way to your inbox!

 

[Dizneefan001]

Piles of folded clothes everywhere, half completed pirate costume and lists written and rewritten. I will be so glad to get on that ship and relax!

You are far too kind! I've posted the updated FE Group 2 document to our conversation so you can review it first and make sure I didn't mess anything up!

Woohoo! We are into single digits for the number of days until the cruise! We actually had a bit of snow this morning, which was totally unexpected. I just thought we were getting some freezing rain last night.

BTW, here's a recent CC 5k report: https://littlemoreeachday.wordpress.com/2015/02/10/castaway-cay-5k-2015/ I love the medal too!

Thanks KIP! I'm excited, this is going to be our first 5k!
