Perfect! by the way....my children pointed out that you are 17 years younger than us..wasn't that nice? We are celebrating our 15 year anniversary together and those kids of mine should be lucky we decided to bring them on this trip Just kidding - they are great kids and I was the one who wanted to bring them along.....my kids have a count down chain and they receive gifts along the way of counting down to our day of the trip - they love it bc they get so many cool things...we are all really excited and after months of craziness with work, school and sports - it will be a welcoming trip and a re-group time for my family.

by the way...what kind of things do you like?

haha aren't kids great! We will be celebrating our 6 years a little early (it's in June but we are going to a wedding in sarasota that weekend so we will actually get to celebration vacations, plus my birthday is at the end of March). Me and DBF are high school sweet hearts, we both played soccer most of our lives, although now it's hards with college and work and two dogs to take care of. I'm a big scrapbooker, and I love anything disney.

Do we plan on doing a group meet?

 

[jackieslp]

Not sure about the group meet. I am still trying to confirm those who are participating in the FE. I don't want anyone thinking I am "stalking" - I sent pm to a few on this board to see if they are doing it or not.

My daughter is a soccer player - son turned to football 3 years ago - we are all big sports people in our family....in fact, we are running the 5K Royal Family Run at Disney the day before we leave for the cruise-

OH MY GOSH. you really sound like a mirror of our life. we have 2 dachsunds, high school sweethearts, and are both in college. Torin finishes in december! i wanted to wait through most of college to get married though, so the wedding is dec 28! small world. i just thought it was neat.

 

[westjones]

My twin DDs are 16 and I was just wondering if there were any other kids around their age in this group. It might be nice to get to know someone else who is going to be in Aloft with them.

 

[jackieslp]

SouthernBelle - ARe you doing the FE? I thought you wanted to but need to make sure so I can add you to the list....thanks.

Cabin number needed (for confirmation) if you are participating.

That's great!! My DBF (Milton) graduates in may and I gradutate in Dec also. We graduated the same time in high school so it might be a little sad that he's graduating a little before me. But can't get everything you want. Maybe we will run into each other and hangout.


Milton just got his suit in the mail today from express, we just need to get the pants hemed, and I need to get my dress hemed this week also. Starting to get everything together in a pile when I see someting we need for the cruise.

Does anyone plan on dressing up for pirate night?? We bought costumes around halloween to wear, didn't know if anyone planned on wearing costumes. It's so much fun!

OH YEAH... 30 days until we set sail!!!!

As one of the count down gifts, I gave everyone pirate necklaces, eye patches and Lindsey and I got pirate hats and the men got bandanas....should be interesting to see what my 13 yo will wear

What kind of dogs do you have? We also have two dogs - an english bulldog and a coonhound - both rescue dogs...and My Babies...

The snow is really coming down now.....I keep dreaming of warm weather in a month.

Our past sailings we have just donw bandanas and eye patches I wanted to get a to dress up and get some nice pictures since I'm a big scrapbooker.

It's not much better here right now in Florida. It's been cloudy and rainy all day long here. Hopefully tomorrow it will be better we plan on going to Seaworld to check out the Bands, Bud, and BBQ.

I have and American Eskimo and a Beagle. They are both spoiled rotten!

 

[jackieslp]

Sounds like fun. We spent the day snow blowing, making FE gifts and baking. My kids had friends over (which I love) so I baked for them...it makes me happy and I do love a good snow fall - which is what we had. "The forecast is for more on Wednesday. My bullie loves the snow...he makes this sqawking noise to go and play in it - it is pretty hysterical..

 

[MPwifey]

It finally stopped snowing long enough for the snow to melt but we are supposed to get more tomorrow. I love snow, just not driving in it with other people.

I am trying to finish our FE but cannot find any stickers or embellishments of stitch around here so I think I will go to our closest Disney Store and look there.

I offered to have the list of FE participants on our door since I know we will not be upgrading at port at all. My mil let part of the secret out so now DH knows about his verandah surprise, but I am thinking about ordering a gift basket from Shirley at The Perfect Gift.

1 month left to go

 

[jackieslp]

That would be a great surprise. I love to surprise my family with things. I may look into the gift basket too. I may also inquire about an upgrade at port. We have a verandah too but I may see what is availalbe and the cost, etc.

Tomorrow is our cut off day for the FE. I will get a list of the people involved for you so you have an idea. I am just going to go off of the FB info I posted previously. We don't have many cabins involved but I think the kid will love it.

did you want to try to get a group meet together> I think Amanda mentioned that on FB?

 

[Sccrmnky2005]

Does anyone plan on going to Atlantis on their own? Me and Milton plan on going to Atlantis to the casino prob after lunch on Monday. Since we have seen Nassau streets enough and don't care of wasting time again. Does anyone want to try and go in a taxi together? We don't like to ride just us two and usually find someone from Disney cruise line that is also headed over their so we can ride together. Just let me know, we just plan on doing a little gambling their.

 

[jackieslp]

I am sure that my husband would love to go and gamble but since we have the kids and we booked an excursion - we cant go - sounds like fun though...

 

[MPwifey]

Oy, sometimes my husband being in the Army is not always good, especially when it comes to vacations. We may have to cut our trip short, or start later than we had originally planned. We wanted to go to Seaworld and the Kennedy Space Center before the cruise, but not be able to now. Hopefully we find out something, hurry up and wait should be the Army's motto.

 

[jackieslp]

I hope things work out for you. And I really hope you are able to still cruise! I am sure you are looking forward to this trip before he leaves.....keep us updated!
