I sent you a PM with my family's info. I guess you didn't get the first one. I just want to make sure that we can get in on this fun activity. And are we just leaving things for children or for adults to? Because I know that some of the cruisers don't ahve chidren with them, but there just as special to. Thank you Morgan4 for doing this I know it has to be hard.

I feel so out of the loop. I have been away staying at my parents house so my husband could install hardwood floors. It has been about a month since I had internet access so I feel so behind. I'm starting to get nervous because I have just started getting our suitcases out. Man this month is going to go by so fast.

I have done both in the past. This time I am doing a pratical gift that all with benefit from. I have received things that are specific to the persons hometown. Once I got a bottle of BBQ sauce from an area down south. I have gotten postcards, candy pencils, pens, glow sticks, "thinhgs you forgot to pack" packets, highlighters, magnets, book marks and notepads, jus tto name a few. I think it will be okay to do whtever you want. The kids just love to check the pouches for goodies. Half the time they do not even check to see what it is. They were just excited that something was dropped off.

I PM'd Morgan 4 and she confirmed I am on her list. I am sure she will update this weekend, being a busy parent to update everyone. At least with me and roommate it is just two adults, no kids. I am having fun planning things for kids in each age category and an overall family gift for those like us with no kids. Happy almost Friday everyone.

I just took a closer look at the FE list and Morgan4 I am so very sorry. We are on the list you just have the 2 spelled out. Thank you again for all your hard work.

 

[Gecko1]

A few more that are on the computer I'm on right now... Yes, feel free to use anything I post. Some I put together, others are work of others that have agreed to share.

 

[FloridaMom3461]

Your signs are fantastic! My magnetic paper arrived so I'm planning to figure out the printing this weekend on mine (and probably a few of yours too)

 

[FloridaMom3461]

I have a small favor to ask for the FE gift exchange - please no edible items for our dd (4). Morgan 4/Kate plans to note that on the list but I thought I'd post this now for those who are making their plans. Leigha (dd4) has food allergies and we have to be careful what she eats/drinks. Sorry if this causes any difficulties to anyone.
magic wishes,
Randi

born2cruise: We are giving a gift for the entire family (adults and/or children).

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!!!

Rick, Love the signs!!!

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!

Margaret

Margaret, I sent you a PM, but now that I reread it, I will need to give you more info. My Bad!!!

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.

Ann, I really like how your shirt came out. I like the logo just on the "pocket side" instead of full blown in the middle. Looks really nice.

We just booked last week for the Nov 8 Eastern! Nov. 8 is my DH 57th BD! It's going to be so much fun!

Can't wait to meet all of you!

Welcome!!! Can't wait to meet you too!!!

I have changed DisneyQueen1 #5 to TiggerTink08. (Yes that room was you.)

Thought this graphic would be appropriate for our cruise (Thanks to kari)

Love IT!! Everyone is so talented!! I haven't even started my signs, except for what I had others do for me.


As you can see, now I know how to multiple quote. I love it!!! Makes reading two pages easier to respond to.

Oh by the way, Happy Birthday to ME!!!!! It was yesterday, but I am still celebrating today!!!

See you in 4 weeks!!!

Kate

I love your sign! It reminds me of the time we were going down the steps at the Boardwalk and a two couples were going down the steps ahead of us and one of the guys said "Commence spending!" From then on that has been my dh's motto when we arrive at WDW!

Belated Happy Birthday, Kate! We will all celebrate when we get on board!

 

[goofy4wdw59]

Morgan4/Kate,

First, have a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

That's OK on FE list--I'm overthinking it, LOL. I'll put together bags by age info and can put everything together per stateroom when you send the final version/map.
What I really need to do (and avoiding) is figure out what the heck I'm wearing on the cruise.

Also, I have a question?
Have any of you mailed a box for your stateroom before the cruise? I think I want to mail some things, including FE gifts ahead of time--should make packing easier.
If you have done this in the past, could you post your experience with it and your thoughts?
Thanks much!
Margaret

Hi Everyone! Sooo excited!! We leave in 20 days for the World first. So if anything changes the last week we will be clueless.

Kate- Happy Birthday! Hope you enjoyed your day.

PixieDust- The shirt looks great. You both look so fun - can't wait to meet you.

Started packing today. We'll have 2 sets of luggage. One for parks and one for cruise. Time is running out and I had to cut out some of the door signs and other stuff. Everyone have a great night. Bo and Bob

Happy Birthday Kate.



As for shipping stuff. LOVE IT. Worked great for us, highly recommend it.
