November 25, 2009 ~ Gobble~Gobble~ 4 Day WONDER Thanksgiving Cruise

[MaggieAtSea]

It makes no sense to worry about things beyond one's control... especially things still a month and a few days out...

BUT

It was a damp, rainy, blustery weekend in the northeast and my thoughts started to turn towards the Bahamas... which aren't that far south... which can be cool come end of November... and I said a quick prayer for sunny, warm skies and warm, lovely water come November 25th. My son will be busy being a pirate and dancing with Goofy to notice, but I would sure like some warm weather to bake my bones a wee bit!

Is there some sort of weather dance we should be doing? Or is it best to not speak of it again?

It's Monday and I'm already plannign on buying magnetic paper this weekend to start prepping door magnets for the cruise!

Thanks for the updated spreadsheet. I already have my paper and am going to see if I can get a co-worker to help me disign a logo for Operation Gobble Gobble. It'll be something really simple. When I get it done I'll post it here.

And don't worry about the weather. It'll be fine -- it'll also seem nice and warm coming from the Northeast down to FL!

Let me know how I can help!! Maggie

This link doesn't work for me.

This link doesn't work for me.

Hmm... it takes me there when I click from the board. Is it working (or not) for anyone else??

Ah, technology!

 

[lucas]

Nope, I just tried from home computer (was at work before) and it won't open. It opens to the page where you enter your account info. Am I the only one?

But, I went back to the link posted last week and that one opens fine.

It happened to me too. When I tried to open the link from my e-mail notification I couldn't get to it. When I tried to open the link from this board I could. Go figure.

This is the dis-sign that my DH came up with this afternoon for our cruise. I think it's so cute. Note the Mickey ears on the turkey. What do you all think?

Maggie-thanks for getting the spreadsheet together. I was able to go on and update my info!

With regard to the FE's....what normally happens? Is there a particular day you deliver you FE's? Or do you do something each day? Is it a "bag" of things all at once?

I've never done one before, and found some great threads, but many of the pictures I saw were the accumulation of items they received...

Just wanting a little guidance if anyone has...I know someone can do as much or as little as they want...but just wondering what some others have experienced on previous cruises!

Ashley:

I think the idea is that you don't give something every day... but that at some point during the cruise you drop your chosen fe giftie in the participating folks' fe. Some do them right away, some at other points during the sailing. That way people can anticipate and be "surprised" by something during the trip...

If I don't have that right, someone else step in. This is my first sailing on Disney, afterall... not practiced in the Disney traditions just yet!

Kim:

The image is adorable... really well done! If possible can you pm it to me, as I might be able to work a little computer magic and put a small version on our nametags!

Finally, I'm sorry for any broken link... I haven't done anything different than the first time, but perhaps this one will work better for those wanting to access the spreadsheet. Please let me know if it does, in fact, work better:

I made reservations to put our dog in his favorite dog hotel yesterday... put the flight info in my Outlook calendar so that it's set... bottom line is WE'RE GETTING CLOSER!!

we will be participating in the fish extenders but not the meet and greet. i think it will be difficult to get lincoln away from the mickey slide pool

Thanks for the clarification. My problem will be trying to get too much on board! I found so many great ideas in the DCL thread! We'll see what I end up doing...I tried to think of something good to "represent Texas"...Cow Patty candy anyone???? Kidding...they make such a thing, though!!

My advice on the FE gifts is to not worry about it too much and don't go overboard with it. On my last DCL cruise I received so many FE gifts that I could fill an entire carry-on bag. It was a 7 day cruise though. Most people did one FE gift for the adults in the cabin and an FE gift each for the kids. Some people did more than one FE gift for each of the kids which I thought was generous, but going overboard a bit. I haven't decided what I'm going to do, but since this is still a pretty small group I will probably do what I did last time -- one FE gift per cabin for the adults and one FE gift per kid.

It was really fun getting something in our FE each day. I did feel a little bit like a summer Mrs. Claus going down all the halls with my bag of goodies giving out stuff.

Hello to everyone, hope you all have done some planning already, sorry I had dissapear but just started working a couple weeks ago and has been a rollercoaster, getting "my people" use to the new routine after being a "stay home DW" for many years. In any case, will review my reservation today, we are totally in for the FE, and I know I need to send you the cabin #, also I need to review all the postings I had miss, this is part of the fun. Blessings Elcka

I was just looking at our ressie on-line and look what I saw:

Only 35 days until your cruise sets sail!

Yea, people!!! It's coming fast!

Maybe we'll see you at the Mickey pool - it is our plan to take Collin there as soon as we get on board, too!
