, oh where I where can my little Cruise Docs be, oh, oh where can they be????

I hope my travel agent calls me soon, to tell me she has them for me!

I am really getting excited though, to hear about of you guy's getting yours though!

This weekend I have to go out to Hobby Lobby and pick up a small little tote bag to use for my FE and then I am going to make irons to put on it too! And I also get all of my door signs done, then I should be good to go!!!!

I already have all my FE Gifts, just have to put them in little bags!

20 more days until we leave for WDW!!!!!

I have also submitted my dissertation yesterday. Two more weeks and it will all be over and I can start packing for the cruise!

That's awesome about the dissertation being completed - good luck! We'll all celebrate with you in November....

I sure hope cat 3 Hurricane Omar doesn't close any of the ports for an extended time it ripped right in between St. Thomas and St. Maartin.

Good morning guys. Can someone give me a kick in the butt and help me get motivated? Just not there yet. If I wait until the last minute, I will leave something very important at home-like the passports, then stressing out trying to get everything done will get me sick, then I will ruin the vacation
for my family....ugh I feel like Debbie Downer today.... You all are so with it!!

But I did see the Johnny Depp will star in the Pirates 4!! Now that is some good news. Love him!

Hello, it's me Morgan4 otherwise know as Kate.

Since you cannot pm yet, (start posting!!!), I would need your room number, number of people and ages of kids, and your first names.

I am putting together the final list and a map to find the rooms by. I am going to try and PM them, but if I can't I will have copies at the meet n greet on the 8th at 3:00.

See you soon!!

Kate

Welcome to all new cruisers!!!!!!!!!

Magic skipped St. Thomas because of hurricane Omar and re routed to Nassau instead, i'm sure you guys read this at the main board. I hope this won't happen to us, been to nassau before (wonder) and i really want to see St. Thomas!!!

Welcome aboard and welcome to the DISboards!!!


Guess what everyone?????



My Travel agent called and she got my Cruise Docs in!!!!!!!! I get to go and pick them up tomorrow!

 

[mimi'sgirl]

I'm doing the docs dance Picked up our docs today! Started packing but feeling overwhelmed. It always works out fine though.

DeAnna and Deborah- Thank you so much for the directions! Such a big help. Thanks again.

Everyone- Happy packing. Can't wait to meet everyone. I hope we make it to St. Thomas too. DH and I got married there 7 years ago on 11/07/01. So we are celebrating our Anniver. on the cruise. You can see the hotel we got married at when you pull into port. It's always special for us. Bye for now- Bo

PS- Was showing my DD our wedding pictures yesterday and there was a pic of us on the beach with the Magic in the background leaving port. Also right after we got married they blew the horn and we heard "When you wish..." Just a coincidence but extra special even DH was touched.

Consider your butt kicked. Start small. Think about all the fun we are going to have. You can either hang out with us or by yourself naked. Now remember it is a disney ship so I think the latter would not be appropriate. Get out those suit cases and put something in it. That might just get the juices flowing.

 

[ngnear21]

Welcome to the new Cruisers...you're now part of the funnest cruise there ever was!

We got our cruise docs finally too! Reading about everyone else getting them in is making me more and more excited!

AND we've just paid our cruise in full...IN CASH! Thank you, Dave Ramsey! Any other "Better than I deserve" folks in here??

Can't wait to see everyone...just 3 more weeks!

 

[WendyJersey]

Wow you sound like yo are ready to go this week. I am way behind the power curve. I haven't done anything but buy the stuff to make my FE gifts. I need to get on the ball! Wait! I did do online check in!!!

I do have my FE stuff, but this weekend it is for sure that I have to get the suitcases out of the basement. It is coming upon us all quickly. Boy Pixie Dust is really on the ball. I need to get all ready this weekend. I can't wait I'm starting to get so excited.

 

[WendyJersey]

Hi ya'll. I'm new to this board/forum. My family and I will be sailing with you all on the Eastern 11/8 cruise...yeah!! I was wondering if anyone has ever used Lucky Stables on St. Maarten before or ridden the Rhino Riders with Concierge Blue? I booked the two hour ride at Lucky Stables last night for DH and myself. The "kids" and their spouses want to do the Rhino Riders. I have an email request in the book them but have not heard back from anyone.

This is our fourth cruise, all Disney and we can't wait!! DD went on the first one with us when she was 17 and DS has never been (and we haven't heard the end of it!!). He and his wife will be joining us along with my brand new GB!! Love that baby girl!!

Thanks in advance for any help you can give with my questions. I live in Orlando and have been a CM for 12 years so fire away if you have any questions of your own...!

Less then 4 weeks!!
Deborah

We are all getting excited as we count down the remaining days left. In case you haven't read everything we are having a meeting around 3PM at the Pomenade on Saturday before the drill so we can all meet each other. Hope to see you there.

Thanks for keeping up with this. I have also been keeping up with it just in case you needed backup. I may have to go out and add to my FE stuff if the list gets any bigger.

 

[WendyJersey]

Kate,

Can we meet with everyone on Saturday at 3:00 even if we aren't participating in the FE stuff? This is all pretty new to me so I'm not sure of the protocol!!

Deborah

Deborah this is for all of so we can meet. At the last meeting we took pics of the whole group. It was really fun to put the face with the name.
