Oh, and when I get an exact room number (we are on the "guaranteed" list, so don't have a room number yet), Id be up for some gnoming too.

Im joining in! Hubby and I are coming, just finished booking! Its our first Disney cruise and our first venture as official DVC owners (AKL). BAAAAHHHH!!! I can't wait! Now to go back and read this entire thread!!

Glad you are joining us. You will love a Disney cruise, and congrats on becoming DVC owners. I am hoping to someday be able to become a DVC member.

Good Morning Fellow Cruisers!!!

First, I want to send my thoughts and prayers to all those involved in the tragedy in Boston, especially if anyone here had any family members who were involved. I will continue to keep all in my prayers.

Second, and on a more upbeat note, we have 179 days until our cruise!!! It's getting closer. Looking forward to meeting everyone. So, does anyone have ideas about where we can meet on the first day? I guess it would depend on the number that want to participate.

Also, if anyone else is staying at the Radisson the night before the cruise, on my last cruise in 2011 we had a few of us meet up at the pool that evening after dinner. Let me know if anyone is staying at the Radisson and would be interested in a mini-meet on Friday night.

Have a great day everyone!!!

At one point, two of the people (no longer traveling with us) thought we should meet by the kids's pool. My vote is that at this time, since we are a smaller group, let's meet at Bon Voyage. Perfect name, and just off the lobby from the looks of it. That way if there is hot weather or rain, we aren't looking for a plan b.

Is this everyone in the group or just those participating in FE and/or roaming gnome. Because I'm not on here. Although I am not interested in the FE or roaming gnome, if you are keeping a complete list of our group, we are in Stateroom 6144: abitagirl916 -- me (Tammy), DD (Rachel-24) and my Aunt (Jeanette).

I agree, if our group remains small, Bon Voyage would be a good location.

 

[MickeezMeg]

Bon Voyage works for me, too. We have no kids to corral so it'll just be me balancing my micromanaging with my husbands constant need to nap and/or ignore my plans, lol, which is probably just as hard! NOW, but, are any of you cleaning up your diet or workout routine over the next 179 days? I need to get back at my normal routine and kick it up a notch since all of yall will have to see me in a swimsuit!!

I just edited.....that was for FE ONLY....Sorry!

I sent in a request to join the FB page... just waiting on approval, but wanted to make sure the request is showing up on the admin end.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

Looks like you were added! Yay!!!

I have to tell you, I was looking at pictures of the stairs to climb on one of the excursions (ziplining) and I thought, I'm gonna die!!!! So my new regimen is a lot of stair walking. I also needed weight to lose as I don't want to scare all the little kids when I'm in my bathing suit As of this morning, I'm down 24 lbs.......I hope to lose quite a few more before the cruise!

Congrats kendzee94 on your weight loss. My daughter & I have just started walking a couple of times a week in the hope to help us lose some weight before the cruise. We both need it. (We also don't want toscare anyone in our bathing suits.LOL) Don't know how much we will lose in 6 months, but anything will be an improvement to our health. So wish us luck!

 

[Krazee4Disney]

about your ticker... you put it in your "signature" right? Just make sure it is in the correct format. When I make mine with DIStickers.com, I copy and paste the 2nd set of gobbelty-guuk that is generated. Don't know how helpful that was lol...

Thanx for the help it worked...I had the wrong format!!

 

[Krazee4Disney]

I created a "secret" FB page for the teens. Let me know and I can pm you the link!

Hey kendzee94...my son does not do fb...do your kidz have instagram by chance?

 

[SeeDisney]

hello everyone, not sure what a gnome thing is. But the fish extenders --- isn't that when people live trinkets on your cabin door?

The teen fb page still hasn't worked yet.

Here's the roaming gnome "rules"

Write your name / room number on this
Door magnet (then cross same off the list below) then stick it on a fellow DIS’ers door. Remember to move this quickly, it needs to see appx 2 rooms per day to stay on track for it’s roaming adventure!!!
Let’s see how many rooms the Gnome can roam
Please return magnet to room 12510 on the last night of the cruise

and yes, the FE exchange is when you leave little trinkets in the "Fish extender". My problem is I'm on too many FB FE boards and there are way tooo many ideas! I. WILL. NOT. MAKE. ANYTHING. ELSE!!!!!

Awesome that you are thinking about it in a health way, too! Better for the long haul. My husband is a powerlifter (different than a bodybuilder) but was injured about a year ago. Neither of us have been as serious as we need to be since he was hurt. BUT, now that there is a goal in mind *strangers and swimsuits* we are back at it. I really want/need to loose 25-30 lbs, so its about a lb or a bit more per week which is doable or most people, but I have a VERY tough time dropping the weight (horrible family history, recovering bulimic, borderline thyroid issues) plus I am a VERY healthy eater normally so it is tough to "cut out" anything... just gotta get to the calorie burning! ANd yes, Congrats Kendzee94!!
