Reposting this as well. This is my final count, although I am still waiting on response from 2 rooms, 1 I know is participating but I do not have their room number yet.

I have not heard from the Stiners, they said that they wanted in, but I do not have their info.

So we are at 29-30 rooms.

Great gob Kate. I don't know how you find the time to do everything. I feel like I'm running around with my head choped off. We have Holloween parties this weekend and next weekend so I feel like I'm going to blink and then be on the cruise.

About the FE exchange and food allergy... One of the items my kids have to give the other kids is Disney character pez dispensers w/pez candy. They are listed as allergen free (other than yellow dye #5 in the lemon pez). For those cabins listed as "no food" in the FE, would the pez be OK or would you rather not have any confusion on the issue? No problem either way, The kids can double your little one up on some of the other trinkets.

See you soon
Rick

Hi all
We will be joining you on this cruise
There will be me Samantha (Sam) and my DH Colin. We love DCL and this will be our 4th time on the Magic.
Beginning to get really excited about the cruise and suddenly realised I hadn't stopped by to say hello and meet you all.
We will be travelling from the UK and staying at BCVs after the cruise.

Welcome! I've been away working on a fund raiser that was this past weekend. I'm almost recovered. I just wanted to mention, that I'll be following you around for your whole vacation as I will also be staying at BCV after the cruise.

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!!!

I looked far and wide for an obscure picture to use for my Veteren's Day door sign, because I didn't want mine to look like everyone else's. Your first sign looks way too similar to mine. Oh well!

For those cabins listed as "no food" in the FE, would the pez be OK or would you rather not have any confusion on the issue? SIZE][/I]

Rick,

Thanks for asking and we are okay with the Pez. Infact she will probably love it.

Thanks for asking Rick. No, Leigha can NOT have the Pez candies. It's ok if you do not give our cabin anything as it's more important to us that she not have anything like that. Her major food intolerances is to every kind of artifical color, flavor, chemicals and the like. She reacts pretty strongly especially to candy like that. BTW, the good news is that even at (almost) 4 years old, she understands when we take things away or tell her she cannot have something offered to others
see ya all soon,

Randi, Thanks for the quick reply. Fear not: Leigha will not be skipped!

Hell-o everybody. I don't post much-just read. We left Texas on October 6th, headed to Florida for the cruise. We travel in our motorcoach, and after stops at Gulshores, Alabama, Destin, Florida, and now in Tampa, we are looking forward to two weeks at Fort Wilderness at the World. Then, the cruise. I have a question--as I have read all the posts, I gather that there will be a gettogether on Saturday at 3PM in the Promenade Lounge. Is this correct?

Our Liliahana who is 27months acts the same way. We are so proud of her for understanding.


My hope is that your Leigha will too outgrow this unfortunate intolerance. On a good note they both eat healthy

That iis a beautiful place to stay on Disney property. We rode segways through there last December. We will be arriving November 4 and staying at Beach Club.

Looking forward to meeting you. Have safe travels and a good time at the park. You know it is Food & Wine Festival at Epcot!

I'm hoping someone can help me....! I found a thread the other night that had some really cool magnets on it. There was a wonderful woman who created all these really cool artistic signs for people. Everyone was requesting stuff! There was one that looked like bubbles in the shape of a Mickey head and there was a wedding scene in it. Anyway, I put in a request for a couple of signs and now I can't find the thread! You would think I had thought to bookmark it but nooooo!! Such a dork! Anyway, if someone knows the thread I am talking about and can help me...it would be much appreciated!!

Thanks ahead of time!

Deborah, if you just click on your name you can ask it to list all your posts. You can then click on the post for the Magnet. Hope this helps. Finally told my roommate he was in charge of the magnets as I am doing all the FE stuff.

Hope this helps.

Deborah: It sounds like you are talking about Kristine's thread. She has taken a "sabbatical" for a while so you might not want to count on her making your signs in time for our trip. If you want to make your own, I just saved a bunch of blank ones I found on the various threads into PowerPoint and then just added text myself....

Received our cruise docs yesterday.

Today I started loading the first suitcase and rented a couple of tuxes for my son and I.

It is starting to feel close!
