I got my cruise docs today! Yeah! Sort of panicked today when I realized we leave in three weeks and I still haven't started my FE projects. I am almost done shopping. Still have to get DH some shorts and DS one more pair pants (he lost some weight too and grew 2 inches so nothing fits!) Have last 5k tomorrow for awhile - so not doing one on Castaway Cay as this is vaca - but will exercise every morning so can eat all that yummy food I keep looking at in the trip reports. I get to raid my friend's closet Thursday for more shorts then I will have enough clothes. Got the pirate costumes done. Sooooo excited getting close to vaca time!

YEAH! On getting your cruise docs....that is always exciting!

Yes, I've been buckling down this weekend and getting my FE stuff together, new 2 pocket FE is complete....just have about half the cabin gifts left to make....kids are pretty much done. Almost there, should be able to finish up tomorrow, hopefully!

Three weeks from tomorrow night we'll all be dreaming on the Dream!

Good luck on your 5k tomorrow!

 

[DisneyMouseHouse]

In three weeks we'll all be dreaming on the Dream! Woot! Woot! Now just have to hurry up and finish up all my FE stuff! Can't wait and getting really excited! It's finally almost here!

 

[MsGrandma]

I spent some time on my FE stuff this weekend-sadly I am not as far along as some of you! For that reason only- it is a good thing we still have a couple more weeks. Aside from that , cannot wait until March 15 when we head down to FL!

Ok, if all this snow doesn't stop here soon, I'm going to start worrying about the flight....we've got travel insurance, but I want to cruise!

 

[ptisme]

The weather I looked at for your area says more snow for a few more days but then should be clearing up???? Hopefully you will be able to fly! That would not be cool to miss the cruise due to the weather

We are supposed to be in the 80s by the weekend. Hopefully no more cold weather! It actually snowed last Wednesday here!!!! I came off the freeway and couldn't believe my eyes. By the time I was done at the doctor's office, my car was covered with snow and slush. Now understand, I have lived in Phoenix, AZ for 21 years and only seen it snow 3 times! Of coarse, it was completely gone a half hour later but it was pretty cool while it lasted. I moved to AZ from Ohio so been there done that with the snow and no desire to go back! Love the heat - have yet to shovel it

I'll be praying that the snow stops soon for you!

Yes, the snow better stop down in Kansas City because we are driving there to fly to Orlando this time and I don't want to have our flight cancelled! So, please stop snowing.

Yes, we're driving up to there to fly out too - so here's a bit of for no more snow and no cancelled flights by the time we both have to fly!

I am happy to add another family. If I go to the google doc site will it all be updated? Thanks! Getting excited, and swamped. Vacation planning is a lot of work!

Additional families all added. Our snow down here is wichita is melting away quickly. Hopefully everything will fall in line and Atlanta won't be a problem. How I wish we were going out of KC on Southwest.
Do you all fly out the night before? And are you staying in Orlando or in P.C.?

We are flying in the day before and staying with friends of my DH just outside Orlando. He was stationed for 6 months in Orlando Last year (active duty with the reserve unit he went to Afghanistan with in 2009). We are going to party with the rest of them in DTD Sunday before we head back to AZ (our military tx are blacked out starting Sunday or I would be in the parks too!)

Yes, it is completely updated with everyone on it.

I left the "non-respondents" at the bottom so those will be up to you whether or not to include them.....I'm on my phone right now, and am doing a B2B cruise, but I know on one list we don't have cabin numbers for those people (it may not be this FE group, it may be the other one)

We are flying in morning of....kiddos are flying to Las Vegas alone on Saturday, so we have to be available while they fly. We'll arrive at about 11 the morning of the cruise, plenty of time to make a liquor stop and get to ship by our check in time

Hi I do not know how all this works but I am going on the 4 day Bahamas cruise leaving March 17. I read in a blog I should come here to meet others who will be on this trip also. I am not exactly sure what I am doing though or who I am sending his too! Help

 

[mickelle]

Ok everyone, I just spent the last 30 minutes reading all the posts for this cruise. I think I am beginning to understand how this works. I am excited to get to know some people who will be on this cruise. I am traveling with my DH, DS (18), DD (17), DS (6). We are all so excited and I am already trying to talk my DH in to booking a future cruise. We just have to decide, kids or no kids? Next May will be our 10 year anniversary, perfect reason for another cruise. This is our first cruise for all of us. I wish I had learned about the FE's sooner. Maybe next time!

Welcome to the cruise! Here I am lurking on the boards when I should be sleeping! It is late and I need to be up early for work. This is our first cruise too but we are super excited to be going.

Unfortunately very little snow in the Phoenix area (did snow for 1/2 hour last Wed - very freaky storm) so no such excuse for us! I actually have to go to bed now so I will get up at 5! Enjoy looking at it all but don't get too overwhelmed and remember everyone has their opinion. On the Trip reports thread there is a great one by Timon that has a lot of pictures of the ship. Check it out.
