Good Morning, Happy Cruisers!

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I thought you would send me your spread sheet and show me what you did!!

If you'll pm me your email address, I'll make you a spreadsheet.

If you'll pm me your email address, I'll make you a spreadsheet.

I sent you the PM, but it better include DETAILED instructions!!!

 

[LindaBabe]

Ok, your spreadsheet is in your mail box. Download it to a place you can find it on your hard drive. All you need to do right now is go back through the pages of this thread, pick up the new people's information and enter it in to the sheet.

PEOPLE - PLEASE Help this guy keep organized! EVEN IF YOU ARE already on the list, If you haven't posted your room number or names, PLEASE do so as soon as you know your room numbers! No matter how carefully he keeps the spreadsheet, it's usless as an FE list without your room numbers!

So am I not keeping track of it anymore?? Or is it for his own personal use to help him learn how to do this for future cruises? I'm confused!

SIX MONTHS AND COUNTING DOWN!!!


YIPPIE!!!!

Sorry! I misunderstood - I guess he wanted it for his NEXT trip. Nothing like planning ahead, lol.

The reason for spreadsheets as opposed to MS word for FE projects is - they are "sortable" - so, for example - names and room numbers can be put in in any order people sign up, and then at the end, sort the spreadsheet by room number for efficient delivery. I've never found a way to do that in a word document.

Ok, I STILL don't know how to do it in excel either!!!

Anyone doing a pre-cruise WDW stay? I'm trying to figure out about transportation to the port from a resort. I know Disney offers transfers, but its 70 bucks a person, BLEH. Also heard that the disney transfers get to the port pretty late, and I like to get on the boat ASAP,

Anyone have any suggestions or experience? Also keeping in mind I have two 4-year olds,

 

[FIREFLY01]

LESS
THAN 6 MONTHS !!!!!!

Easy peasy. Click the blank square at the intersection of columns (letters) and rows (#) then click Data in the menu bar. it will drop down a little menu - click to check "header row" (because your spreadsheet has header titles in the first row) Then click sort by stateroom. The rows will rearrange themselves in stateroom order. If by some strange chance you do not do it correctly, just close the spreadsheet without saving it. When you reopen it, it will be as it was before.

Get a towncar and request 2 child safety seats. Should cost about $120. for all.

We're flying down on Friday evening and staying at a hoyel near the airport, then taking the hotel shuttel back to the airport to catch the first bus to the terminal!! Keeping our suits with us to the ship so we can head right to the pool if our bags aren't there by then!!

I'll try it and see what happens!! Thanks for your help!!

We have six adults and three kids traveling with us!! We contenplated another means of getting from the airport to the terminal, and back again, figuring it might be cheaper then the $70.00 DCL collects!! But we don't want the hassel, and it'll be comfortable and the kids will enjoy the ride and video getting them more anxious and ready for the cruise!!

Gift Exchange Info

Meet & Greet in the Promenade Lounge Deck 3 at 3:00pm on Embarkation Day!!!!
We will meet in the Promenade Lounge at 3:00pm before the muster drill and sail-away to get to know one another briefly, put names to faces, and for those of you who would like to participate, we will also have a gift exchange!

Here's how it works:
Each family will bring a small gift to represent the area they are from, aka their hometown/state For example you could bring something from a local store like maybe a trinket from an artist in your hometown or if you are into sports bring something to represent your favorite home team. Last cruise on DCL, the gift I received was from a very sweet lady from Texas, she brought some local spices & coffee, along with a little Texas BBQ cookbook. It was really cool! It's just a simple gift nothing extravagant, that is unless you wanna give me a free cruise

No seriously just something light and fun.

At the meet & greet, I will have name-tags to hand out where we will put our DIS name along with our real name, so that we can identify one another easily Then for each person or family who has brought a gift, when you come in find me, I will be handing out some lei's & up at the bar looking like I am in charge : Also I'll be wearing a name-tag At that point I'll write down your name & put it into a bowl/hat for the drawing part. I will also jot your name down on a list of who is actually participating in the exchange. That way everyone who brings a gift will receive one in return You hang onto your gift and have a seat, get to know some other people, have a drink, just relax

Around 3:30pm, which should give everyone enough time to mosey on down, we will begin the exchange I will call a name from the list and that person will come up pull a name from the drawing pool and exchange gifts with the person whose name they have drawn.

Very simple lots of fun and it ensures that each person who brings shall receive And no one is pressured into bringing something, it's completely up to each family, but please do come and hang out with us either way!!!

Can't wait! It's gonna be sooooo much fun!!
