Christine, I would love to see some of your door signs.
How many did you make? One for each room or more than that?

Doing the Wristband dance! Our docs were here a few days ago, But the wristbands are awesome! We got started on the FE's today, but still have work to do, and some more shopping!
I would like to see the magnets!

Doing the Wristband dance

Thankyou Shauna, they are really cute.

Shauna did you get our payment yet? This is really driving me crazy.

I have no docs...and no wrist bands!!! The postal system sucks for me right now!

Not here either, Tracy.

But DD's dress for our vow renewal arrived today! I was nervous because I ordered it online...but it's perfect. Just the straps need to be shortened a bit. Her formal night dress we picked up today, so we are just about set!!

Time to start my packing/errands to do list!!

Kathy, your pie sounds wonderful. Mmmm!! Send me some.

Christine

Everyone can cross off our room number for the FE exchange!


We now have a Cat 7 GTY room

I will let you know when we get our room number

Hi Everyone

I found a dress for formal night!

No wristbands yet, but I think ours will probably take a bit longer with that pesky border and all.
We are getting our docs from the TA tomorrow.
16 FE gifts done and the rest are partly done.

It's all coming together nicely... counting down the days!

Kathy -

Did you upgrade yourselves or was that some pixie dust? According to our cruise docs, this is cruise #8 and still never an upgrade. I know there's still hope, but......

And, boy! There was a lot of Wristband Dancing going on today! Thanks again, Shauna.

Christine, right there with you (and Ashley) with the FE gifts. Haven't even started, but then again, I'm always needing a looming deadline to get going in high speed. I still have the fabulous bookmark you made us all on our cruise last November ... love it!

 

[Hbelton07]

Wow!! thanks for the welcome guys. Even though i'm a came in late, i feel so special!

Pretty overcast here all day...makes me want to be on a boat in the caribbean!

Yes! Shauna the wrist bands are a great idea and if you have some for us i'd love to get some for us just let me know.

Thanks again for the welcome!

I made 4 or 5 for each room. These are for our friends on the Wonder:

Plus, I made them cruiseline nametags from Tom's thread, and some birthday magnets (including a very cute birthday hat from the stateroom ears thread).

And some for "our cruise":

Some I made entirely myself, but most I either found the blanks or clipart/wallpaper and customized. I don't have photoshop so I can't do anything fancy. I don't even have a great computer! But it has been so fun, and it makes it REAL to finally print all these up! Overall I easily have 4 or 5 per door. Mine is more than that!

Christine those are great door signs. They will love them.

Shauna got our wrist bands today, they are great, thanks for taking care of those. Called home today and Dan said that a package came for me, thought it was my new tennis shoes but when I got home they were our cruise docs!! Although I am really glad they came, I need those tennis shoes so that I can break them in before we go. Got my door signs done, and my FE gifts, also printed out my designs for our shirts. Now I just have to iron them on. and finish my scrap pages. I was going to work on them tonight but went and sat at a Soccer game that my niece was playing and about froze my booty off!! Had layers on and blankets but still got cold. The good news is they won! Now they will play again Thursday night. I hope it is warmer than it was tonight. Booked our flight home tonight, now I am looking for a car rental for the day, cause the flight doesn't leave until 5 so I thought we would rent a car at the Port and return it to Orlando airport. Everything I am looking at is almost $100.00, for 4 or 5 hours! Any suggestions?? My plan was to just go to Down Town Disney and spend a few hours and grab some lunch, then go to the airport.
Anyway, it is late and I need some sleep. Talk to everyone tomorrow.

I just booked my rental cars tonight. After much scouring for the best deals, I was able to get via the AAA website $35/day for a fullsize from Hertz for Thurs/Fri precruise!!! Unfortunately those Saturdays are more. The best I could do for Saturday- Sunday am (drop off after we arrive at WDW Sunday am) was $95.04 total, including tax and fees. That was through Avis, using the AWD code Q335700 if you are interested. I booked fullsize cars both ways, knowing we have a lot of luggage!

Glad the soccer game was a success, even if you were freezing!!!

WOW! you guys were BUSY last night!

I can almost smell that pie, Kathy! But I can be happy with my applesauce Left the peels on, and zapped it with my immersion blender after cooking - it is pretty and pink, and didn't even need sweetener, the apples were so sweet. Good thing, because I sure picked too many! ONE bag would have been plenty.

Those door signs are GREAT! Must get busy and do some. . .

30 degrees F here and deep dark but it's time to get rolling.

Happy Day, all!

 

[glindamood]

Linda is right - you all were busy last night.

Great door signs. That is one thing that I do have done. I wimped out of FE's last night - DH worked the Xyron but I cleaned the bathroom and watched NCIS and Dancing. Dang I am slow. Now tonight I need to be busy and productive with FE's - and a bit of laundry.

Have a great day everyone. Oh, and Kathy - congrats on the upgrade.

 

[LindaBabe]

Oh I forgot to mention that - Kathy that is a GREAT upgrade - Woo Hoo for YOU!

Gail, do we need to get out a whip to get you to apply yourself??

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Howdy all,
well its still pouring rain here. It poured all night and is still pouring. Looks like I got my boots just in time. If this keep up we may just float to Florida


I have been breaking in my new tennis shoes all week. I sure dont want sore feet on the cruise. Now Greg has started breaking his in too. But its too wet to wear them outside, so its not alot of walking in them like it should be.

Well off to think about our door signs. Greg and i are suppose to work on them this evening, so i need to come up with some ideas soon.

Catch everyone later,

Kathy
