Mine was from the states so it only took a week to get here. This is what it looks like:

I am not doing the exchange but I will get some little treats for DH and DD to surprise them. Plus it will be a good place for notes.

Not long now!

haha mine is exactly the same except it is blue!I may try to get my neighbor to embroider our name on the top. Thanks again for the info!!
Keep your fingers crossed that I actually get it!!

Hi Everyone-

Kate: Thank you for taking the time to organize the FE.

Cielo: Happy Belated Birthday! I love your name.

1DisneyQueen: I think you did a great job on the FEs. My daughter would absolutely love the princess one. Espec. with the beads hanging down.

Looking forward to meeting everyone. Would you like me to pick up a package of name tags for the meet n greet? It would make it a little easier when meeting for the first time. Everyone let me know.

Have a good night. Bo

I would love name tags.

I would love name tags.

Name tags are a great idea!! I would love them.

I was just thinking that maybe the stateroom # should be listed witht he FE list. The reason is because floridamom has a dd with food allergies and I want to make sure that I, or anyone else doesn't leave something that could be harmfull.

I don't want to post room numbers on the thread. I will have a map and the list of everyone with the room numbers and who is in each room.
Example: Morgan4 #XXXX DH, DW, DD(12), DD(8)

These are listed in room # order and the map is highlighted with the rooms that are participating. That way you can put together a method of attack!!!

I will have a big bold note for FloridaMom's Room.

I will be PMing this weekend. I will also have copies at the meet & greet.

15 days and we are IN THE CAR!!!!

Hi All!! I'm sure some of you saw the new navigators (dcl trip reports forum) and I noticed that there are some changes on themes.

From OLD Navigators: /// NEW (from last weeks)

SAT - Cruise Casual /// Cruise Casual
SUN - Formal Attire /// Formal Attire
MON - Cruise Casual /// Cruise Casual
TUES - Pirate Night /// Cruise Casual
WED - Cruise Casual /// Semi-Formal
THURS - Semi Formal /// Pirate Night
FRI - Cruise Casual /// Cruise Casual

Do you guys think these will be the same as ours? I booked our Palo dinner for Thurs night and we don't want to miss pirate night, if this is the case then i might change Palo for Tues/Wed. night, hopefully there are openings.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

I don't think last week's cruise will be the same as ours. Their cruise got messed up by Hurricane Omar and a lot of things had to be adjusted. They were given a dinner schedule when they boarded that matches up to what the old navigator's say, including that Pirate night would be on Tuesday. They were told of the adjustments on Monday night. I would not put any stock that those navigator's will match what we do.

Good to know this. We have Palo booked for what I thought was a regular night but now it may be the new semi-formal night. I suppose that isn't a bid deal but I too do not want to miss the Pirate night. If anyone knows for sure if our cruise is going this way we might have a lot of last minute Palo changing.

Well, just like what Mozart said, last weeks regular schedule were changed because of the weather/hurricane. So let's just hope we'll have a great weather.

Thanks to everyone for being so caring and considerate of Leigha's food allergies - we all really appreciate it.

re: the FE gifts - are they all anonymous or do we put our names/a little note, etc. on each?

I'm juggling Leigha's b'day this weekend, Halloween, and then hooray - the cruise!

re: the new schedule - we also scheduled Palo for Thursday night for what I thought was semi formal night - hope it stays that way....

take care all,
Randi

I have never known Pirate Night to be the same as Semi-Formal night. That is just as opposite as you can get. I would have to agree that because of the weather problems somethings were changed.

We also have Palo on Thursday night. We always pick that night because of lobster tail. It is our friend's favorite meal and if you are in Palo you can have "surf and turf" and he thinks lobster is better in Palo than anywhere. Of course, everything is better in Palo

Thanks to everyone for being so caring and considerate of Leigha's food allergies - we all really appreciate it.

Happy to know! It makes it easier for everyone.

Two weeks from today and we will be at WDW! We voted today so we have taken care of that issue. Now we will just have to watch them count while we are on vacation!

Thank you Kate for all of your hard work. Looking forward to meeting all of you very soon!

 

[MegaMouseHouse]

I think the last couple weeks are going the slowest!!!! I am just ready to be there already!!

Are we closing the FE with 29 staterooms? Just want to make sure when I wrap up this weekend with getting my FE gifts done that I have the right number of gifts.

 

[WendyJersey]

Here is it this way:

30 Staterooms
59 Adults
3 Girls, 0 Boys Ages 0-2
3 Girls, 1 Boy Ages 3-4
2 Girls, 2 Boys Ages 5-6
8 Girls, 2 Boys Ages 7-8
5 Girls, 1 Boy Ages 9-10
3 Girls, 1 Boy Ages 11-13

Kate

Great job on the list Kate. Caught the error for the 7-8 year olds when reading, but noticed someone saw it first. With the list done it is definately time for everyone to be in the packing mode this weekend. Only one more full weekend after this for most of us. Some of you will be leaving sooner so get packing. I have been counting down the days at work since the 60 day mark. Can't believe in 16 days I'll be flying down to FL.

 

[WendyJersey]

haha mine is exactly the same except it is blue!I may try to get my neighbor to embroider our name on the top. Thanks again for the info!!
Keep your fingers crossed that I actually get it!!

The FE's you both got are cute.
Do you both have some ESP hook up that you should both get the same FE only in different colors.

 

[WendyJersey]

I was just thinking that maybe the stateroom # should be listed witht he FE list. The reason is because floridamom has a dd with food allergies and I want to make sure that I, or anyone else doesn't leave something that could be harmfull.

Kate will give us, at the meeting, a list with the cabin numbers and no doubt will have everyones screen name with it so you will know who you are delivering your gift to. Kate did make a note on the list that Floridamom should have no food because of her childs food allergies. I'm sure someone has already mentioned this along the way, but I haven't read that far yet.

 

[WendyJersey]

I don't want to post room numbers on the thread. I will have a map and the list of everyone with the room numbers and who is in each room.
Example: Morgan4 #XXXX DH, DW, DD(12), DD(8)

These are listed in room # order and the map is highlighted with the rooms that are participating. That way you can put together a method of attack!!!

I will have a big bold note for FloridaMom's Room.

I will be PMing this weekend. I will also have copies at the meet & greet.

15 days and we are IN THE CAR!!!!

16 days and I'm on the plane and in 17 days
