And I'm with Stacey & I have Southwest coupons for mini bottles too!
Got home from work late and have to work a wedding today until about 2 tonight. But it is Rodeo Days in Cave Creek today and what do I have outside my window? A marching band practicing. Just what I wanted to wake up to. Thanks!! I need to leave early and go around the mountain because with the parade I will never get through Cave Creek.

DVC got back to me and said that I could ship to AKV (where we are staying for 4 days before the cruise) and they would deliver to our room. I plan on shipping a bag of FE goodies! That way we don't have to pay the airline for another bag. Almost 2 weeks of vacation and a vow renewal ceremony; I'm trying to minimize all extra baggage.

Wow...what a great relief!! I would ship everything I could to avoid having to lug it with me on the plane! LOL You must be getting so excited!!! Dh and I were supposed to do an intimate wedding at Disney (the Poly) in 2007. Because of dad's health we cancelled it, but promised ourselves to try for a vow renewal on the Disney Cruise in 10 years. So I can't wait to hear how yours goes!! I'm so happy for you! What an experience it it going to be!

 

[goofygal1975]

Okay....let's see how this goes.....the map. The rooms with squares around them are inside rooms, the others just have a line.

Thanks for posting this!! I was hoping someone would make up a map...this will work out great and make things easier fo passing out FE gifts!!


I had a cruise dream last night...we were on CC and there were bleachers there for animal shows???LOL And I kept looking for a place for me to get sun and DH to have shade...guess I'm thinking about the cruise now

I didn't think I was participating in the FE thing, is that what the map is for? I meant to be on your list of who is going? I don't know that much about the FE thing. I also don't have enough posts to answer any one back directly. Please advise.

What are the FE rules?

 

[scrapbookmailbox]

`We are happy to participate, I just need to know all the rules and how it works. We have never done it before we are cabin 2633. How many gifts do you have to buy and how many gifts do you give and when?. What $ value are the gifts?

Hi everyone! I am Disney Falcon's friend that just booked. We are so excited! We have twin 1 year old boys. Is there anyone else out there with kids less than 3? If so, do you have any excursions planned?

No little ones here anymore...until the grandson arrives...but I wanted to say "WELCOME" and I LOVE LOVE LOVE your DIS name!!!!

 

[Geaux Disney]

Well, we love our Tigers so had to represent.

Congrats on the grandbaby, when is the arrival?

 

[JMTStone]

We have lots of new friends booking! This is so cool. Welcome Aboard!

Welcome! I can only assume that with Geaux in your screen name, that the Tigers are the LSU Tigers. If so, where are you from? We live in ATL area now but DH & I are both from south Louisiana originally? I'm Angie, DH is Bruce & we have 2 DDs - Emily will almost be a couple of months shy of 9 & Ashley will be 6.5 when we sail.

I'm thinking of brining my wedding ears and top hat groom ears for Melanie and her new husband to try out. I hope she doesn't mind. Its so cute. I can send her pictrues. Or save it for Heather. Were just used one during our anniversary dinner at California Grill! So I'll pack that, our FE, and cruise only things (I can only get away with my funky straw hat from mexico I can only get away with on the cruise). And the Fish Extenders! I got cool stuff for the bigger kids. Now I have to focus on the little kids and the pre-teen and teen kids. And of course, the airline bottles. I'm sure I can visit the Man twice. I'm sorry to say unless I find something reasonable with those airline bottles at the liquor store, you guys are sailing with the Captain. I'm also attaching my favorite recipies!!!! So Heather, can you give a list of "non airline drink perferred people as well" so I don't offend them: I have an idea for them too! Instead of stressing on what he men want, I will give for couple!

I can't wait to meet you all. I owe Sharon, Stacey, and Heather a drink already!

Vow Renewa: Anyone interested in cake? We'll have plenty! Heather; you and DH can watch from above. Wait till you see my song selectiuon. We're not getting "full out" dress-up. Mother of the bride in a pale gold for me. LInen suit for Jon The girls are picking out their on our next pay day. I chose the "tropical floral theme" for flowers with a special surprise for the girls for joing and maid of honors. I loooked at David Bridal and its a little beyond my range, and a bit to "fancy". I'm thinking casual fo the firls. maybe matching sundresses! I am not sure but the ceremony is anywhere between 4 - 6 PM on Thursday the 28th.

I'll be cancelilng my Spa Day on Sunday. Anyone interested in trying to take my time spots?

 

[justmestace]

I'm still mad for not taking the room next to the "Vow Renewal" Deck!! Maybe I'll just come peer through the window.........


The Panama Canal group would have JUMPED on that cake offer. One of their catch-phrases was "Cake.....I like cake" I think it was more like "I worship the oven the cake was baked in".....

Congrats on the grandbaby, when is the arrival?

He's supposed to arrive sometime around the very first of June! So I am hoping he's a patient baby and at least waits for Grammy to get off her cruise.
I know....why am I cruising when my first grandbaby is arriving? Long story....but very good reasons, and it's approved by the baby Mama.

We have a 4 yr. old and an 18 month old. We haven't booked an excursion yet. We're still trying to figure out which one will work for us.

Stacey,

Got the signs yesterday. Thanks so much they are great. I owe you one!!

I love wedding cake! Where will your vow renewal be?

Good luck on finding something for your girls to wear. Maybe you could find something for them at The Gap or Old Navy that would "match". Those are the stores that I usually head to when I'm trying to coordinate the family.

Was at Costco the other day & there were the cutest Lily Pulitzer dresses for girls. I need to go back & get some for the girls before they are all gone.

Welcome to the boards Geaux Disney!! I love your screen name - although Stephen wants me to throw a little "War Eagle" your way.
