I also just notice that I am missing Tinkmom on my list. Sorry I don't have you.


Tinkmom - Are you going to participate in the FE? I guess I need to read back and get your information if you want it all included.

To all that I have the emails for, so far no one corrected my post from a couple of days ago so I will assume that it is correct as of now. I will email it out, to everyone I have an email for, this weekend.

Hi, I just need to know for the FE do I make one pocket for each family member or is it just for the kids? Also when will we meet to find out everyone's cabin numbers?

You can do it any way you want. Since some people do like to give gifts per person, it might be easier to do 1 per family member (there are a couple w/o kids doing the FE)

Cabin numbers are usually given out about 30 days before the cruise. If you or anyone gets it beforehand, let me know and I will add it to the list. BTW - please PM me your email and I will send you the list that way.

 

[brucechase]

There are a lot of people that posted early on that I haven't seen anything from in a long time. I still will keep them on the master list, but I'm sure that we have lost many of these.

 

[loveysbydesign]

Anyone have an idea as to what to call our group? It would be neat to have name to put on our door magnets!

Thanks so much...btw I read your trip report and loved the info. and pics.
We have Main stg. also.
~~~ This was the recommendation for me from my post on cruise critic for KW and I think that's what we're gonna do.
"With the amount of time you have available, I would head down Duval to Southernmost Point (about 1 mile walk). Take some pics there then two blocks up is the Butterfly Conservatory. The kids will love it. You can head back up Duval stopping at the different stores or head over a block to see the 6 toed cats at Hemmingway's house. Once you head back towards Mallory Sq. you can detour over to the Blonde Giraffe for some Key Lime Pie."

As of today, we are attempting to "rebook by switcheroo" 2 of the cabins that we lost, so we could end up with 5 total Cat 12 cabins....inclusive of my sis (we still have 6 booked as of today, but probably will cancel 1 of them). Cross your fingers for us that this "switcheroo" we are trying WORKS so that we can bring more of our friends.

Also, we ALL have late dinner seatings.

 

[brucechase]

Good luck in your switching. We definately have a family that want to go on this day (at least they are on a waiting list at some TAs hoping something opens.

 

[Suzepoo]

Just called and "moved" my new 2nd persons to the "lead" positions with NO problems!!! So now it's wait and see when I call back next Friday to cancel my "old leads"....cross your fingers everyone!!!

Thanks Bruce - You're the best! Our dinner seating is early, we were late, but they are supposed to change us to early so we can dine with our friends, so hope they do.

Thanks for all you're doing

I just booked the Encounter for all of us last night, as our 2 youngest kids will be free! woo-hoo-can't wait!

Yeah!!! What time is your encounter at. Maybe we'll see you there

Karen

 

[homespun]

Okay, so far we have these cat 12s:

Mrpawn - 9
Tinkmom - 2
BIP- 2
PoohFriend - 1
loveysbydesign- 2
liliagm - 1

We don't have one, but I know our friends who aren't DISers have a Cat 12 GTY, if that helps you figure things out for upgrades.

Wondering what our numbers are on the FEs. I made 50 and I don't think that's enough. I need to know SOON because I need to purchase more thing to make more and they come by mail, otherwise, I'll be short and that wouldn't be good. I hate to keep paying shipping each time too. Is there going to be an end date for joining so we have a definite number well enough beforehand so we can all finalize or make our our gift/s -- Mine take quite some time to make, so I thought I'd ask so I'm not panicking the month before the trip and trying to figure out how to get them there, etc.

....our friends who aren't DISers ....

Karen

What, not DISers?!?!?!?!?! You need to get them over here and join the fun!!!!!!

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

We have early seating too!

I KNOW! I mentioned it a couple of times, even sent a link

We talked about end of April/start of May for a cutoff date, but nothing is set in stone. I am open to anything anyone wants. I have 52-54 people for the FE (look at post 291). You might want to wait until after March 14. That is the final payment due date and I bet that they will open up more cat12s then. We might see a flood of new people a couple of days after that. If this is too much, then you might want to just make a gift per room instead of per person??

Our encounter's at 1:00 but we're planning to go over earlier as the ressie lets us get into Chankanaab(sp) as soon as they open. We're planning to head out after breakfast, maybe around 10:00/10:30 since we're docking at 9:30. We'd like to enjoy the rest of the facilities before the Encounter and tour the ruins. Afterwards we'll either head back to the ship so our youngest can get a nap or just find a shady spot for him to nap near the pool/playground or beach so our older 2 can play. It's supposed to be a beautiful park and my kids love nature! Here's a link to thier website and I also got lots of info. off cruisecritic http://www.cozumelparks.com/

I think you're right. I'll wait for awhile to order my final extras. If we could cut off by mid-end April, that would work perfectly. May would really be pushing it since I want to ship my items to the ship and I want to allow 1.5 weeks from shipping date for delivery.

BTW I just reviewed your trip report -- it brings back memories of our 1st Disney cruise on the Wonder. Thanks for sharing.
