May 4, 2008 4 Day--- Official Cruise Meet--- Anyone out there???

[mindy327]

We are interested in participating! Where can I find info on who's participating? Is it going to be a gift per room or per person?

Hi Yolie, Glad youre joining in on the fun. Send Crystal a Personal Message. I am sure she can forward to you the list we got from her. She is wonderful in keeping us all organized with the Fish Extender gifts. She made it so we will deliver once, to each participating cabin on a specific night. Very well thought out. So far there is about 12 of us doing this. Lots of fun. We cant wait to meet you!!

Susan...aren't they great? They are going to be personalized.

Hey Everyone!! Check your PM's; I sent everyone a PM with the latest Fe info. I added Yolie to the fun! Sorry I didn't get back to everyone last night. I had a major migraine headache and went to bed early. I sent out 2 boxes yesterday, both weighing 20 pounds and it only cost $18. I was shocked! Let me know if there are any questions with the Fe info and is everyone okay with the meet times? Any other ideas??

I'm so excited! Thank's for the idea Crystal!!

So when will we received the final update on who's participating?

As far as I know, this is it. I don't have a room assignment for 1 family but other than that we should be good to go!

 

[yolie1021]

I've been working on my fish extender. I still need a couple of things to complete the project! What do you think?

WOW! It looks great! How excited are we all???

 

[mindy327]

Counting down days!!! Great Fish Extender! Things have been pretty nuts with getting things finished before we go. I ended up going on a clothes shopping spree with Cecily! That was fun. We got a lot of new clothes and goodies for the trip.
I sent out our box that we decided to ship after all, so hopefully it will be in our room when we get there to put up our door decorations. We are doing the DCL transportation, so I know we arent going to get on board until around 1:30 in the afternoon. And thats okay with us, we are going to enjoy the morning at AK before we go. A little more time at the park is okay with me.
I hope I dont get sea sick this time. I am really not one to get motion sickness, but last time we went, I was ready to go to be before the opening show was over. I completely missed the end of Animators Palate show. I ended up leaving even before dessert. So I have an appointment to see my Dr about the "patch". Nothings worse than feeling wooozy on the first day. Hey anything to help.
DS is still not Potty trained. So we'll just hope for the best and do what we do here. He wheres regular undies, when he says he has to go, we switch to pull ups! I know Im a sucker. But with Kaden, he has somewhat of a learning disability so the entire things is really overwhelming to him. I know in his own time he will get it.
Have any of you gotten your cruise packets yet? I am anxiously waiting for the brown truck to drive by. I get excited each time I hear a diesel drive by. Oh man. Its just the dumptruck. I am sure we had gotten them by now last time. Any input? I thought I read a thread saying 20-30 days out.

Holy ...... Wow! You joined the "innocent girl" gets a tattoo phase
Dont worry. I did too. I have a Disney cruise logo on my ankel. Not exactly the tattoo type. Okay not at all. But hey, These days they are removable.
That is so fun. Is it on the top of your foot? Yikes. Didnt that hurt there? I thought I was going to pass out and it was on my ankel. How big is it? I cant stop smiling. I feel like I am not the only one. I show people mine and they just laugh. They dont get the Disney Love. I do know this. I wont be getting another one. I really have 0 tolerance for pain. ( example: I have a sunburn as we speak and I am being the biggest baby about it. Layed out a little too long!) I can hardly stand this anticipation. DH said to me in the car, So we have been planning this for 4 years now, what if we have built it up sooo much that we are disappointed with the trip. YEAH RIGHT! I am so excited I think I have repacked the kids stuff 3 times now. I dont want to forget anything right?!
Cudos for the tattoo. You are awesome. Have fun everyone. Min.

 

[CSwan1]

It did hurt ALOT!! I do not recommend the top of the foot if you are a weenie like me but I have always wanted on there. It is just under my toes and goes from the middle toe to the pinkie toe. This is my second tattoo; my first one is one my lower back. Like you said, people don't get the Disney love!!

 

[kcatplay]

I'm so excited. Doing the happy dance, my cruise documents came today.That tells me its getting close. only 20 days left tell we go.First thing I say in the mornings to my kids is how many days we have left.I can't wait its killing me.My husband says I am worse than the kids and am driving him crazy.lol.Anyone else got there documents yet?

 

[CSwan1]

Okay!! Here it is!! Sorry about the shine... I have to keep it from drying out!!

Isn't it cute!! I an absolutly giddy right now!!

 

[bsusanmb]

I am not a tatoo kind of gal, but I sure love that! Cute!

 

[mindy327]

Okay!! Here it is!! Sorry about the shine... I have to keep it from drying out!!

Oh my. That is really cute!

I am soooo sad. I have not gotten our docs. I figured we would have had them by now. Perhaps tomorrow. Where do you all live? Maybe because we are in Arizona. Its really far from Florida, more travel time I guess. No one else in our group has gotten them either. Just keep waiting. In the mean time, I have you fabulous DISers to keep me entertained.

I just got home about a half hour ago. I have been in Atlanta on a business trip. I was so excited to see that my cruise documents are here!!!

It's getting so close. One night while in Atlanta, we went to see the Lion King (which was great!!) I kept thinking about the cruise and that we get to see shows every night. Then today at the airport, someone had a Disney bag. With our trip only three weeks away, it's hard not to think about it all day long!!

Crystal, very cute tattoo. I have one as well, though it's not Disney. I love the placement of yours. The one I have can only be seen when I'm wearing a bathing suit. I do want one more. One that is still a little inconspicuous, but that I could show off a bit easier. Your spot is pretty neat so maybe . . . (although my DH might kill me if I did get another)

I've had to travel a lot lately and as I was flying home, I was excited to know that the next time I pack, it will be for our Disney trip!!

 

[bsusanmb]

No cruise documents here yet....I checked the Dept of State website and it says they are processing our passports...hope I get them in time...much simpler than birth cert and ID....got my FE from the ebay seller, just BEAUTIFUL...they are so professionally done and have a very heavy interfacing and pleated pockets...they are unbelievable for $25.
