So Happy for you. What a great way to end the day. I emailed my TA today and she said ours were mailed on the 23rd. I am so excited. We spent 3 hours tonight printing our magnets for our door. I can not wait only 31 more sleeps until we leave.

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

We got our cruise docs today, too!!! Hang in there, Becky--yours will be delivered any day!! Can't wait to see your door, too. I'm still working on our magnets.

And for you, Peg. I know just what you mean about those long, frustrating and depressing days. Hope things look up for you soon!

 

[RadioFanatic]

us too! and my FE and magnets are being delivered! Becky, is there special magnet paper you can get? and can you use it on any printer?

 

[tigger30066]

Kimberly
I got the magnetic paper at Staples, but all office type stores have it. It only works with inkjet printer and it is kinda expensive. We are only printing a couple of large signs, 8.5 x 11, and the rest we are printing on regular paper and then having them laminated at school box( a local store for teachers) We are then going to use the magnetic tape on the back. Hopefully that helps. BTW we also have a magnetic board so all of our DIS friends can leave us a message on our door, or hopefully a special mouse might leave us a note.

DH, DD, & I are thinking of joining this cruise. My Mom (age 62) passed away in June of ovarian cancer. My Dad (age 67) moved in with us a month ago, and he is now under the care of hospice, and we are his primary caregivers. He has terminal lymphoma. We took a 5 day trip on the Wonder in August, but knowing my Dad will not be here more than a few weeks, we are contemplating another cruise. DCL is my happy place. It's either this one or a 7 day on 11/27. We will be booking last minute as we don't know what is happening with my Dad.

My favorite song right now is by the Zac Brown Band...I Wanna Go Where the Boat Leaves From

There's a place, where the boat leaves
from

It takes away all your big problems

You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean

But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

Take one part sand, and one part sea, one part shade of a
big palm tree.....

If we book, I will be sure to post and say hi. If we do book within the next week or 2, would we be able to jump in on the FE? I know it's last minute, so I understand if it's not ok. I won't know until Dad passes away which cruise we are going to jump on to get away. (Our FE gifts that we gave out in August are picture below-adult and girl versions)

I am not in charge of the FE but I think she is keeping it open until the 4th. I can only speak for myself, but we have a couple of extra adult FE gifts, and would love to make a little princess FE ( we only have little pirates so far). Just post back and let us know your plans.

Keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers during this rough time for you.

I'm so sorry for your tough year and hope you can join us. Let us know if you want to join FE, we would love to have you!

 

[RadioFanatic]

OK, FE question for the experts - do we just give them whenever or are times scheduled?

 

[tigger30066]

This is my first cruise, so I am not an expert, but I thought we just give them whenever. I am ok either way if I have a certain day or any day. I am not sure what the correct way is.

First of all, you have my thoughts and prayers. What a tough year this has been for your family! God bless you for caring for your Dad in his last days, too. for all of you. (I love the Zac Brown band, too!!)

Absolutely, we'd love to welcome you aboard!! And yes, you can still participate in the FE exchange, if you decide to sail with us. I'll go ahead and put you on the FE list as tentative--how's that?

I planned to cut off the sign-ups 3 weeks ahead of sailing, which would be around the 7th. There's no set rule about when to deliver your goodies and I like the "whenever you choose" schedule. I think the assigned days are better on the longer cruises with the huge groups of participants. Let's not all go for Sunday evening or wait till the sea day, though!

So who's started packing?!!! Only a month to go!

 

[tigger30066]

I have started packing. So excited. Nothing to much just a couple of items.

Just booked today!!!

Welcome!

I've been started on the packing since a month ago - instead of just putting summer clothes away, I simply put them in our suitcases! Made me not so sad to have to bring out the sweaters, etc. for a sure to be yucky and cold winter!

 

[tigger30066]

Happy Halloween guys. Only 28 more sleeps.

WHOO--HOOO!!!!! 28 sleeps and only 3 1/2 weeks of work!!!!

Frustrated with the way my FEs were turning out and had to go back to the drawing board. Sigh.....so many hours down the drain. Good thing I like crafting!

 

[tigger30066]

I'm sure you were being too hard on yourself. Just know we will be very happy with whatever we get. It is all about the thought and effort.

 

[RadioFanatic]

I agree with Tigger!
