We received our cruise documents this past Friday. They are always great to see in the mail! 28 days and we'll be at WDW. We can't wait!

Yippie! Ours came too. 31 days until we're in Disney World, 33 days until our ship sails!

We are going to!! 4 of us...kids are DS 7 and DD 5. We are surprising them with the trip. Driving from Rochester,NY on Thanksgiving...all we are saying to them is that we are going on a car trip adventure. It will be our 1st time on Disney, but 3 of us have been on cruises before. We did a GTY and no cabin assignment yet.

Plan on going to Target and other stores the day after Halloween looking for reduced pirate accessories.

Excursions...
KW- Hop on and off trolley with a stop at the butterfly museum and the museum from the historic ship that sunk (husband's idea there so I have no clue)
Grand Cayman- 3 of us at Stingray City....have to book that still (hubby will be diving)
Cozumel- 3 of us at Mr Sanchos with the all inclusive and water inflatables (hubby will go diving that day)
CC- NOTHING!

So, it looks like we will be joining you guys for this cruise! We were scheduled on the 12/10/11 Magic but had to change to this one because of work conflicts.
I'm hoping to get in on the FE group...! We love FE's! Is is still open?

We are glad that it worked out to go on a holiday cruise- the ship is so pretty.
I'll read through the thread and try to catch up with everyone. Can't wait. Lucky for me I was already doing some things for the Dec 10 cruise, so I don't have to do Nov 26 at the last minute!

Dear Kiki,

Welcome! The FE is still open! At your earliest convenience, send me the names and cabin number.

I have added you to our list. On November 5, I will be sending out the Final list. Including you there are now 20 cabins participating.


I look forward to meeting you!

Tammy

Welcome to the new families! We're a fun group!

DH pointed out to me that 30 days from today we'll be on our way! We're taking Amtrak from Newark, NJ, and will be in Port Canaveral on the day after Thanksgiving. I"m so excited I can't stand much more!

I have 13 more days in my office, and a one-week business trip to Atlantic City, and then I'm ready to go!

Tammy,
Its me (Kiki) and DH (Paul). We have a GTY so we have not been assigned a cabin yet. I will let you know when we get it.
Thank you so much for organizing this! I was the FE organizer on the 12/10/11 cruise. Sad to leave, but you guys look like a fun group so I'm glad.
The ornament exchange sounds like fun too.
I'm glad to see there is a good number of cabins participating. And everyone sounds like they are excited about it. In terms of the FE Delivery, I prefer to allow everyone the flexibility to distribute their FE gifts on the day that works best for them. I'm suggesting that only because none of us know what each day will be like for us, whether we may be feeling rushed by a shore excursion, wanting to get down to an autograph session, a show, etc.
Thank you for the warm welcome, Tammy and Beth.

Thank you for your quick response! From reading the posts, it sounds like people are starting to receive their docs, so hopefully you will know your cabin shortly!

29 days from today we will be at OKW starting our vacation!!!

I'm good either way for the FE distribution.

Haven't received our cruise docs yet. If I booked thru travel agent will they be sent to her? Our other travel party got theirs but they used points to book.

Yes, they will be sent to your Travel Agent first, who will then send them your way!

Tammy,

Could you also sign us up for the fish extender exchange? This sounds really fun! We have myself (Jeanne), DH (Mike) and DS 10 (Michael). Our Stateroom is 2011.

Thanks,

Jeanne

Start watching your mailboxes! Cruise docs are on the way . Ours were here when I got home!

We got ours last week also, was so excited.

 

[mothchick]

We received our cruise docs but still no cabin assignment yet. Is this normal? Everything I have just says:
Verandah Stateroom with Restrictions Category VGT, #GTY

Exactly 1 month!

It's kind of hard to believe, isn't it? Suddenly it's coming so quickly!

[KikiMouse]

In terms of FE gifts, I was wondering if anyone had food allergies etc.? Getting excited and planning my FE gifts...
Thanks, Kiki

 

[mothchick]

No food allergies here Kikimouse!

 

[CherylA]

My family has no allergies either. I need this vacation sooooo badly! It can't come soon enough but yet I have so much to do before we leave that in some ways it's coming too soon!

 

[KikiMouse]

Hi, I know its only a month away.... but has anyone given any thought about a slogan/graphic? I have a few ideas that my 12/10/11 group was going to use.
But we would need to probably vote and I'm not sure we have the time. Its nice in case you want to make magnets or something like that. Any thoughts?

I'm so busy making all my reservations, I had to change all my ideas since this cruise is only 2 days after Thanksgiving, and it will be so crowded in the parks, flight changes etc. and I'm suddenly moving up my trip by a couple of weeks. So much to do but I'm really excited!

The graphic from my NEXT cruise (12/4/11) is in my sig. It's adapted from one I made for my 12/7 cruise. That should give somebody a few ideas!

I'm another one who's ready for this trip. It's cold and rainy today, and I just want to be on vacation! I do have six days off and a business trip between now and the cruise, which means I have only ten more work days!
