November 1, 2008 "Election Day Castaways!"

Thanks! Once I know my mom is willing to do it for me (gosh almost 35 and can't sew, pretty sad) I will let you know. If nothing else, I can always put something in it for DD...

So, quick survey:

Since baggage restrictions are limiting packing, what is everyone doing about dressing for Pirate Night and Formal Night. Looks like we will scale back on pirate night to make room for formal wear (I don't want to miss the lobster).

Well... we're driving so no baggage restrictions for us, lol!! We're also staying at WDW before and after the cruise, so I may end up leaving a bag at the hotel. We'll be at WDW for Halloween, so our costumes will probably stay, except for DD who wanted to be a pirate for both Halloween and the cruise.

Princesspaige-

I'll add you to the list, I just need your cabin # and all the people in your group before I can add you. Several people have already shopped for their fe gifts, so you may not receive from everyone, if that's ok. I personally have been sick all week, and my shopping has been delayed, so I'll have something for you! As far as sewing the fe, I have seen people use all kinds of things for the fe- even Christmas stockings and tote bags! So whatever you decide should be fine- just please let me know asap. Thanks-

So are you leaving your stuff with bell services at AKV? I never would have thought of that- smart idea!

Is anyone mailing stuff down? I think I'm going to ship my fe stuff. Have any of you experienced cruisers done this before?

 

[feenie]

I will have enough of what I ordered to do 2 maybe 3 more staterooms if we do need to add anyone on.

 

[podsnel]

It's a news report on the Magic in drydock-

Wish I could say the same, but I'm maxed out of my original gifts. Might be able to think of something else..

Podsnel: Muffin07 and I have enough for 24 families, after that either we would have to get more items or short some cabins/families.
I hope all are getting excited to go! We are just trying to keep up with school, soccer, brownies, chuch, school fund raiser, nut/candy fund raiser for scouts(starts 10/6), and homework when Dd remembers to bring it home .

 

[wuv tigger]

Maybe we could/should start a 2nd group.

Not sure the who's, what's, how's though.

Just a thought of having a group of 16-18 then start the new group???

 

[princesspaige]

I will have an FE...no way memaw will disappoint her granddaughter... I understand if some have already bought their gifts, I am just glad that I was able to be included...I am even more excited that I found DISboards...it makes the wait for the cruise even more exciting...

 

[podsnel]

I think that we should stick with just the one group, because at this point, many people have gotten their gifts already and would then be stuck with a bunch, right? And I hope that the new people who have joined us will be understanding if they don't get the same things in their FE from everyone, because some people have finished ordering and can't go back this late to reorder- I think we're all understanding about that. But 20 is our final count-

PlutosPup, would you be able to post on the first page that the FE exchange is closed as of today? Thank-you-

I'll send out the list tonight.

Hope this is ok with everyone-
Ellen

thanks FOR ALL the work you have done

Aye, Aye Cap'n Fish Extender! I'll add the list to page 1.

Only 54 more days until we leave for our cruise! ...and I'm ready! (of course I've been ready for the past 21 months).

We did get some FE stuff, but I know we still need more. With the final, final list we will see what we need to add! A coworker's family just returned from the 5 day Magic (before drydock). They had over 100 families participating in FE! Friends said they practically filled a suitcase with FE stuff! I'm glad we only have 20!

It will be fun, and I can't wait!

Ellen - good with me. I will be able to cover 20. I a working on a small assortment of things and they may not all be exactly the same anyway (due to the counts of things i am purchasing) so i can mix the stuff up to cover everyone.

[podsnel]

Oh good! I'm so happy that will work for all of us!! We are going to have the BEST time!!!

Ellen

ps-PlutosPup- the Cap'n FE thing had me !!

 

[wuv tigger]

Aye, Aye Cap'n Fish Extender!

I will have enough for 20 but the survival bags won't be exactly the same.

Please don't make me walk the plank!

Hi All,

Ellen, thanks again!!!! All of your hard work is much appreciated.

We will make sure we have enough gifts for all. I'm going to try to finish up the shopping over the weekend.
We are so Excited.
CAN'T WAIT!!!

 

[LBIGirl67]

I have enough of my special gift for the first 20 cabins who signed up...sorry, preordered and shipped out. If there are anymore, I can do up something else small, but I'm tapped out.
Let me know what everyone else decides.

 

[princesspaige]

As the last minute addition I just want to shout "THANK YOU!!!!" to everyone for including us.

You guys are AWESOME!!!
