You are right 1:30!! I just hope that gives us enough time. How long is the cab ride there?

Figment, also a great idea.

Calmom, it is now on The Lists page of the website.

Thanks!

What is this?

I think you are familiar with the fish extenders right? They are those mail box things you hang outside your door (on a fish plaque - hence the name). Anyway, I talk as if I am in the know but actually I've never done this before. What I have heard....you leave your fish extender mail thing outside your door and during the cruise, you will get mail...little gifts left in your fish mail extender. If you'd like to give gifts to those with fish mail extenders, but you don't want to either (a) brainstorm the gift idea alone or (b) pay for the gift alone or (c) hand out the gifts alone, you can join a group of other DISers and become a fish mail team. So far, we have teams for about 9 of the days. Each team has a team leader and that person communicates with the rest of their team to help accomplish (a), (b), and (c) listed above. The budget is individual - each team can come up with their own budget. If it gets too expensive, you can ask for more members of your team to bring down the overall costs.

Does that make sense? I think there is also an explaination on page 1, but I didn't double check that.

So far I have as possible questions... please add if you want to ask anything else...

Location for the Photo... Deck 7? Can we get a back up location for rain (iene of the theaters or the atrium)?

Shutters Photog? What time do they suggest? (will ask for an afternoon on the first sea day)

Can they do a picture with borders on it for everyone?

Can we get the Big Cheese to show up???


Any other suggestions???

The one I have from my last cruise doesn't have a border - just the caption across the bottom. I'll see if I can e-mail you a link to see the pic as I don't want to post it online since I don't think everyone in it would want that.

But this way you could see what I mean by caption.

 

[calmom]

I will take one of the open days myself and do a small item for all.

Thanks Lisa - I have that down in my notes. I think our whole team for May 16 was up for taking on another day if need be...I bet we are going to get some more people wanting to join in the next couple months, although we might sadly also lose a few....hopefully everyone on the list is still cruising! Lisa

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Sounds good! Might be easiest just to plan indoor and then we don't need to worry about shadows and such...just a thought.

Ok, I've done some work on the Fish Teams. If anyone sees their name and it isn't in the right spot, or if you know for sure someone is not sailing now, can you let me know? I think three of them are no longer sailing but didn't want to remove them until I got firm confirmation. This will be fun! As you can see, there are 5 open days so if anyone else wants to be apart of a team, please PM me. Also, if you have decided on your gift and haven't let me know, you might want to PM as well so I can help eliminate duplicate gifts. Thanks!

& if I get final payment...(pretty sure I will...) I may even keep the job!!!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!

Anyone think the Walt Disney Theater or the Atrium would be a good place? I'll ask about both.

I like both, I'm easy!

 

[calmom]

Thanks for the update - PJ - can you change it on the web? Sorry - I might have still a few more changes as people review the list. Thanks, Lisa

 

[lillygator]

be careful with the photographers....I think on one cruise a DIS'er tried to organize it and they wanted to charge us $200 ---(of course, this may all be a dream - Lisa, lbgraves could probably correct me)

[lillygator]

Deb - do you need me to pm you with my info? I was a little confused.


Can you believe this snow? Wow!! I am always amazed when these guys play int he snow!

The Atrium would give us stairwells and and aerial shot both to work with.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Deb - do you need me to pm you with my info? I was a little confused.

YES please....I sent you a PM with all the questions that I'm asking everyone and putting into the master list that everyone is going to get a copy of. We would love to include you and family V.


Can you believe this snow? Wow!! I am always amazed when these guys play int he snow!

These are the best games to me.....playoffs in the snow!

 

[pjpoohbear]

What about the Buena Vista theater? With the curtain open we could get a lot of people lined up.

For those planning to visit Disneyland after the cruise, I priced tickets at our local Costco. A four-day single park pass is $139. It is not a park-hopper. You can go to either DL or DCA on a given day. If you want to go to both on one day, you have to use two days of the pass.

[pjpoohbear]

Done!

Also there is a great article on Fish Extenders and when they became on the Planning page of the website, scroll all the way down.

I thought our team (day 5) got moved up to day 2, due to the nature of our gift????

 

[disneylover5]

I have done this 3 times with large groups. They have never tried to charge us anything....then again they have never shown up either. We have had to go back to Shutters to remind them of the appointment. We have even had it in writing.....

These are the best games to me.....playoffs in the snow!

I so agree!!

Our livingroom

Venetia:
GREAT PHOTO!!

How is the Mexican blanket staying on the railing of the stairway? Does it hang down the wall in folds?

We had staff from DH's office here last Sunday so all the decorations stayed up until then. Now I have the wreath (with Disney character faces taken off shampoo and conditioner bottles and wired onto it) off the condo door and put away but the boxes for everything else are in the entry way and the decorations are still up. I will get to it, but I am so far behind on this thread..... Priorities you know!

I have a confession to make.

The last two months of my life have been pretty much living H*LL. My mom has moved in (August) and then had surgery....4 weeks recovery. She pretty much tells me everything I do is wrong...from the way I do laundry, to the way I am raising my children, to the way I cook. She loves me, but she is so old and set in her ways....I have found so much patience.

I was pretty much getting used to living this way...then Frank got sick. For the last 2 months, I have been going form hospital to hospital.....worried sick about him.

Then there is my 2 girls.....I have never been too sure I could leave them for these 16 days.

And then I started thinking about Vanessa. She will leave us just a few weeks after I get back.

I was really thinking about cancelling. Daniel told me to do whatever I thought was best.

With the final payment due soon, I thought long and hard today and I made a decision .... I am GOING.

I floated the idea by my mom (she never knew I was even thinking about this cruise) and she called me wasteful and selfish. :-( She is supposed to be spending some time with each of my brothers....so maybe I can get her to spend some time with them while I am gone.

My DH is awesome...he is like just go and I will take care of everybody while you are gone....

Holly, I think you saying about your tax refund really made me decide I had to decide.

So anyway, that is a very long story to tell you that I need help making the rest of my plans. I have been checking flights and hotels.

I will post what I have found and anyone with ideas....please help me.

I am thinking I might have a nervous breakdown My DH most likely just wants to get rid of me

LISA, the biggest hug that can reach from Canada to Virginia.
