Oh, is there a way to get the total kid count so we can create our kid FE gifts? And on the final map know which room has how many of each so we can put the right number of kid packs in each FE. Thanks.

I didn't know there was a change in plans. I thought we were exploring the island by Taxi on both days. Crap now I need to look at making plans to do stuff. I guess we may just explore on our own then.

Okay, here is what I want you to do. I want you to worry about your dissertation and defending in a couple weeks. Not everyone is doing the shore excursion. Your mom is doing something different. James wants to go to Orient beach and act like a local, if you know what I mean So maybe you can go with him.




Welcome new comers and welcome back.



I just got done looking at the 2010 cruises and can hardly wait to book. We have a dummy cruise out there and I think I am going to transfer it to the westbound repo. I really enjoy those repo cruis and highly recommend it. I also am interested in the Europe cruise..decisons...decsions...decisons[/QUOTE]

1DisneyQueen~~Maybe you should book a permanent cabin on the ship and just move into it. I think you've spent more time at sea than at home this past year. You are lucky I wished I could do that. I guess I will have to live vicariously through you on these cruises. Hey in just30 days we can enjoy this cruise together.

Yes, Chrissy listen to your AD. You are to only worry about the dissertation and defending. That is your number one priority right now. We are all behind you cheering you on.

OHHH VA GIRL thanks for the heads up. I just booked with Radisson and got the cruise parking room. It saved me about $30 form the country inn. Thanks!! where in VA are you from? We lived in Burke for 5 years (NOVA) and loved it. I bet it is beautiful there now!!

WENDY JERSEY...guess what? We are part of Dee's group too. She gave me the info on the group. Souds like I will have trouble keeping up with all of you!! Gosh I hope the patch doesn't make me too sleepy so I poop out too early....

PIXIE DUST II I'd love to see the shirts too.
off to start the day. TTFN

Great Cheeringmom it will be nice to meet with you. Yes it is a fast past group, but you'll love the company. So much fun and lots of love and laughs. You couldn't have hooked up with a, (don't want to hurt anyone's feelings), better group than this. We are all together at times and other times we all go our own separate ways and everyone accepts that. One of the many reasons why Dee's group travels well together is because we are one big happy some how related family .
Well see you in 30 days!!

Great job at keeping up the list. As I had said in the beginning when you were starting this if there was anything you needed help on just let me know. I have also kept the list from the beginning adding people as we went just incase Pandamom or you lost their list somehow. I just don't have the rooms or all the names of people. This will help as this weekend I'm going shopping for my stuff.

Absolutly, I will have a map with the partis. rooms marked and then a list to correspond with the kids and ages for each room.

Thanks, It hasn't been that time consuming as long as I stayed organized. (Which sometimes is very hard for me). I can't imagine doing the other cruises, like the repo, where they had, what was it? 180 cabins!! Is that right?

That could have been a nightmare!!

Got to go to work.

I promised this a while back... Here are some of the door signs I have made and some that have been made for me. I have many more, just too busy to get to them right now. I will try to post more later.

One more month!!!

Gecko1 - your signs are great. I especially love the "Sailing the Magic" one - looks like an oil painting. Very clever. I'm still working on mine. It would be nice if we all had a Veteran's Day sign on our doors, wouldn't it? Thanks for sharing.

 

[goofy4wdw59]

Hello all!

Morgan4/Kate,
Thanks for putting together & organizing the Fish Extender gift exchange. I made a "fish extender" and now need to get my FE gifts together--not sure yet what I'm doing.
I want to include a bag for each kid, and then one bag for adults & separate them by the 25 listed exchangers.
For now/getting gifts ready, can you post a list on this thread the # of kids/ages for each of the 25 DIS names (no stateroom numbers).
Thanks much for all your work on this!

Gecko1/Rick,
Thanks for posting your door signs. May I copy one of your "Veteran day" signs to use on our door? I want to put something up honoring our vets!

I pulled out the suitcases. I put off what to wear on formal night...so now, I'm thinking what the heck I'm I going to wear? And...the kids, and DH...etc...
I can't believe how fast the time is now passing!

ARGH!!

YAY!!! 1 MORE MONTH!!!

Pixie Dust II,

Did you get your t-shirts made? Just wondering how they turned out, could you please post a picture( when you get a chance).

I am planning on making shirts with the Logo you made, only add my username to it and my name. That way everyone will be able to see us and know we are DISboard members!

I am really looking forward to meeting everyone in person! We have a great group of people going on this Cruise!!!!

Still have not got shirts done, but hope to do it this evening. It seems like I take one step forward and two backward!

The door signs are just awesome!

Can't wait to meet everyone!

I will post a picture as soon as we get one shirt finished!

 

[Pixie Dust II]

Well we just did one shirt so here is the picture!

I realize you can't see it really good, but I am very happy with how it turned out. Now three more to go or maybe five! I would like to make Jan and Howie one also so that means so more shopping and mailing because I don't think we will see them before we get on the ship!

I just cannot believe how fast time is flying by and I seem to be moving slower than ever.

 

[MegaMouseHouse]

Gecko1,

I love your signs. I may have to put some of them up on my door too if you don't mind. I would love to have the Veterens day one up to say thanks to the military men on board.

Pixie DustII, the first shirt you made looks great!

Only 30 more days!!!!

I know this weekend I am going shopping to get everything else we need!

I love your signs! I may steal a few (online I mean ) if you don't mind. I've been working on mine for awhile also and have a collection saved in PPT - how did you post them?

Can't wait to meet all of you!

Hello everyone and welcome to everyone new! Less then a month! So excited!!!
I have yet ANOTHER Fish Extender question. I really am confused about it so I just need some clarification. Do we deliver gifts to everybody every day or do we get assigned 1 specific day that we deliver to everybody. Or, do we deliver gifts to one floor one day, then the next floor the next day and so on. I was trying to read the main board to see what they were doing and it confused me even more!!! Also, they were mentioning that some rooms were not on the list but they had FE's out so is it a good idea to bring extra things for those who are not signed up so that their FE's are not lonely?
Thanks for all your help! you experienced cruisers have been really great!!!
LOVE the door signs and the shirt (and hat!!)

Morgan4 (Kate) is organizing the FE exchange and each of us will be assigned a day to distribute our gifts to all the rooms on the list. I'm personally planning on a few extras over the 25 current rooms just in case. See you all soon!
