Oct 3, 2009 Wester Carribean

Thanks again Michelle for all your hard work on our web page! :flower3:

While we are on the subject of FE's, if anyone else wants what I'm making (which I'm not going to tell you what it is ;) ) to be personalized I need your last name and address, if not no bigee. Just PM it to me if you can...I'm trying to stay caught up on the production so if we have a surge of new people towards the end I don't get behind. Thanks!

I found a couple of threads for POR, which is where we are staying the night we are going to MNSSHP, and I'm getting really excited for that. (Not as excited as I am for the cruise of course, but pretty excited anyway!)

Mindi, I know what you mean about putting it on quickly, but then it not coming off as quickly! I was doing pretty good with a workout routine, but I wasn't seeing any results so I got discouraged. I'm hoping once the kids are out of school I'll be able to pick up a regular morning jog routine. We'll see.

Well, I've got to get Riley off to school and then fold all the :laundy: I washed over the weekend and just put on the couch. :sad2:

Have a great day!
Andrea
 
I think my husband and I for financial reasons have decided not to take part in the FE & SM. Sorry it's taken so long for me to decide.

Thanks :O)
October can't get here any faster

Oh don't be sorry....some of us understand completely....I have bought since October so my cost has been distributed over time....which is why I spent to much...LOL
 
Hello! My husband and I recently got off the May 23 Tortola/Eastern cruise and we booked this one in October. We're so excited! We did the western itinerary 5 years ago and it was our best cruise ever. We look forward to seeing you all there!! :cheer2:

Kathryn......Welcome Aboard!!! I will just ask are u joining the FE or SM? If so I will need some info from you to add u to our web page! (link located in my signature) If not no biggie our cut off date is approaching and I need to keep the list updated for everyone.....Thanks.....TTFN
 
Good Morning all......well you can tell we are getting a bit closer cause we are getting some new people joining our group....I am trying to keep on top of the FE list and SM list. However we are only a month & 1/2 from the cut off date. As of JUly 28th that will end the FE & SM ability to join. That will let everyone finish up their FE's in August. I know a lot of us will have kids back in school and others work fulltime so I think everyone will understand the cut-off date.

Here we finished our Mickey ear flower bed....not much planted in it though, things I had to plant had to go else where cause it was taking to long to get it done and they didn't want to live in a pot...LOL So I am awaiting some friends of ours to break down their hostas and then I will fill with that and I need 2 rose bushes and I will be done for this summer.....next year we will add more! Trying to keep the colors red, yellow, white (mickey mouse colors) in there.

Sydney has 2 more days of school after today and then golf is every friday morning and tennis on Sundays. I am hoping to enroll them in swimming too but finances will tell the story! Well I am off to look for a job....TTFN

That's great. I had a look at the questionnaire and realized that I could not answer all the questions yet, but there won't be a problem with this after 20th June. Thanks for organizing this

Good Morning to all!

Welcome Jennifer, Liz and Kathryn & families! I am so looking forward to this cruise (my first DC) and meeting everyone.

Jude - I'm still considering the dolphin excursion at Chankanaab Park in Cozumel. There are 3 different excursions, Dolphin Encounter, Dolphin Swim Adventure and Dolphin Royal Swim, with each one progressively having more interaction with the dolphins and costing more. We would probably do the Dolphin Swim Adventure which includes handshake, dolphin kiss and song, a belly ride and free time with the dolphins for a little over $100 pp. If I can figure out where to come up with an extra $300 we'll probably do it.

Hi everyone! We're back from a nice 8 day trip to Destin, FL. My aunt just moved there so we went to go visit her and became beach bums. It's so beautiful there. Now, we're looking forward to Oct!!!! [/QUOTE

Heather - My son was stationed at Eglin AFB and lived in Fort Walton Beach until a month ago. Amaya and I went and saw him in April of 2008 and loved it there. He's hoping to get stationed there again someday, if so I'll definitely be visiting!

Let's see...Amaya's pirate costume is on it's way, passports have been applied for, FE gifts are started, reservations are made...I still need to order my Fish Extender. Andrea, Michelle - what else do I still need to do besides count down until October???

Well, our thread has been active the last few days. :woohoo: I knew we would get more people as we got closer! Welcome again to all the new people. I say new, because some of us (a few) have been lurking here for over a year! So, to us, we are in the "home strech"! :cool1:
Thank you to those of you who have PM'd me your address! I'm going to work on the next batch today...trying to stay caught up.
Terri--you are well on your way to being ready! Your ahead of me, I haven't ordered the pirate costumes yet, I need to get on that. You need to order you FE though! Bailey's passport came yesterday, it's so cute! The passports are way nicer than they used to be. We applied for Riley's last Friday, so next up will be either Ashley or Ryan. I'm thinking we'll do Ryan's next because his birth certificate is from Ohio and since you have to send in the original I would want to make sure we have plenty of time in case we have to get another birth certificate for him. I already have two certified copies of Ashley's.
Well, I guess I better get started on the next batch of FE gifts...Hope everyone has a great day!
Andrea
 
Hi everyone! Welcome to all you "newbies"!!!!!! :) We're glad you're here!

Time is just winding down for us. :) Thursday my husband will take Katelin's Soc. Sec. card in and get the process started to change her name. Then we'll do her passport. We're hoping to have this first process done within the next 3-4 weeks. If it goes a tad longer we'll have to expedite the passport process which costs more $$$$. Hopefully we don't have to do that. Only time will tell.

I found Katelin's formal dress on e-bay and will hopefully pick it up in the next couple of weeks. I still need to do basically everything else but I'm not gonna worry about it. It'll happen.

Well, off to spend a few moments with the husband before going to bed. Long day today and a long day ahead of me. Take care all! Kristi
 
Good Morning Everyone!! Ya'll are making me feel guilty for not buying the kids passports this time.....is anyone else NOT getting them for the kids?? I doubt I will need them but if you all have them then I will be stuck on the boat all by myself if something happens, ok maybe thats ok,,the Magic all to myself =)))

Well today I am off to help out with Sydney's funday at school. I am gonna be the school photographer for today. Then tomorrow and they are done!!

This sat our neighborhood is having a neighbothood garage sale. I was gonna haul it all away, but free advertisement, I might as well throw it up.....maybe I can make some money for Sydney's braces!! Actually I was hoping to use it for MNSSHP but braces come first! I have responded to a few jobs on craigslist so pray I get a call!! We really could use the money to survivie! Del said if I didn't have airfare already booked we'd be cancelling the cruise...woohoo thank god I booked airfare!!! Well I am off to get some breakfast and then off to school! TTFN
 
Good Morning All! I need to make sure this web page stays updated for everyone doing the FE so....
MindiBellcm----are your Aunt and Uncle participating or not in the FE? And are u participating in the SM? Also I need to know which stateroom number is ur family and which is ur Aunt's room. Thank you

Kimmcbee --are u doing the SM?

LisaG520---- are you and ur family doing the SM?

Disneymeister--are u doing the SM?

kboysmommy, e s jones, Ambria---- Ok these families I am not sure if you are doing the FE or SM or neither..please let me know

I just want to make sure I keep this updated so everyone can get their FE's together! Also if you have your stateroom numbers and they aren't on the web page, I need them. Thank you everyone!

We are not doing SM but we are all participating in the FE. I will have to get your the room number because we had to move their room to get a split bathroom and so that it would sleep 4. I can't remember their new room number.

My mother's passport came in so we are moving towards being ready to go. We have been collecting items for the fish extenders but I don't know if we are there yet.

How many cabins do we have participating.
 
Morning all!
Michelle, I wouldn't worry about the passports...I'm getting them now as a precaution, and with the thought that we might do a "last minute" trip before my flight benefits run out. There are a lot of really good deals for airline employees on European cruises and I'm thinking that might be a good way to see a little bit of Europe in the spring. Also, the last time Disney went to the Med. they couldn't fill the ships (maybe it has something to do with the fact that for the price they are charging for a family you could buy a small house :confused3) anyway, they ran some really good airline employee discounts at the last minute. So there ya have it! If something major happens, you would be able to fly home, you just wouldn't be able to go straight to the airport and hop on a plane you would have to go to the US embassy and do some paperwork and such, it would just take a little longer is all.
 
I'm kinda confused. I was under the impression we had to get passports. :confused3 For safety reasons with the little one and the adoption we're just going to go through it. I'd rather have my 100% guarantee that we can do whatever than get stuck somewhere. Plus, it's one little book versus an entire 1-inch thick packet of adoption documents to prove she's ours. :)

Richard is going to Social Security tomorrow morning so hopefully that will go smoothly (although it didn't with Lilli so I'm not holding my breath) :scared: Afterwards, we're going to get the passport done. If we get into a snag that is just too huge to handle, we may just get her a US passport with her Vietnamese name and then deal with the other stuff later. Guess we'll find out tomorrow huh. :scared1:

Well, tonight we head over to the furniture store to do our commercial. Should be fun. :) Afterwards I'm taking the girls home and we're going to clean the house. :) They'll be thrilled! LOL :laundy:

Well, I'm outta here in about 30 minutes. :) I'm gonna meet the gang at the house. It'll give me a chance to do my makeup. :) Gotta look good. LOL :lmao:

Have a good night all! Kristi
 
Kristi--for "closed loop" (cruises that start and finish at the same US port)cruises you don't need the passport yet. However, if something were to happen you wouldn't be able to fly home, at least not without some time delay at the US embassy. So, some of us are getting them as a precaution and some of us are not getting them yet...
 
Andrea - Thanks for the FYI! :) I understand now.

Well tonight's commercial shoot didn't go the way we had hoped. Katelin chose not to cooperate so mommy spent most of her time dealing with her. Richard did all the talking. Every time I tried to say something it came out all stupid-like. Sooooo, we're expecting to be put on the cutting room floor. It was fun though. :)

Well I'm heading to put the little one down for the night. TTFN! Kristi
 
Hello everyone.:goodvibes I know it has been awhile since I have been here. Wow how our thread has grown. Welcome to all the new families. Cant wait to meet everyone!!!

Michelle I just wanted to give you ,my cabin number. We had one then we switched to a GTY then we switched back to having a cabin. My cabin is #5631. No more switching I promise. I have most of my things done for the FE exchange. Just gotta think of some ideas for the secret mickeys.

Money is tight so I am bringing alot of my dresses from our last cruise. I only wore them once so they are inessence brand new. Hey, gotta save money somehow:)

Well, I will be back on here more now that it is getting closer. Talk with everyone real soon!!!
