I wondered that too. Let's hope he's doing well.

Is anyone else as crazy as me in that now that we are getting soooo close, I want time to slow down?? LOL There's just no pleasing me, I'm always this way about vacation - super excited and then as it gets closer realize it's also closer to being over!

Does anyone know when and how we find out our room assignment and if there is a ship map to be located anywhere so we have a rough idea where our room is? Thank you!

Hi! If you log onto the DCL website and into your reservation you should be able to find your room assignment, although if you booked one of the *GTY rooms there are others in this cruise that are still waiting for their cabin assignment.

I'm posting from my iPhone so I don't remember the set up of the DIS website but you can find deck plans by going to the links at the top of this page. . HTHs!!

Adding: If you can't find the deck plans here, if you do a web search for Disney Magic Deck plans you will find a bunch of links.

Jenny your not the only crazy person. Wished and wished for it to get here and now, needs to slow down .

HA! I was thinking the same thing. It can't get here fast enough but yet I have so much to do and need for the clock to stop for a bit.
My FE gifts are coming together. My hubby probably thinks I'm crazy for participating but he does get a kick out of finding goodies outside our door. LOL!

 

[gumbug]

I got my fe gifts done last weekend. So excited. Now if we could only get our assignment for our room! Booked all our excursions. Booking hotel for night before. Still trying to figure out transportation. Dd had three teeth pulled yesterday and another fell out today, need two more pulled next week. She's a trooper! She's going to live this vacation!

Deanna

 

[Madmommy17]

Oh poor thing hope she is feeling better. The days seem to be going by so slow...me and DH will finish our FE gifts this weekend then we can pack and wait a week. Yeah so excited!

 

[patman2011]

wow, time is really flying and I dont have half the things that I wanted completed yet! I have most of the FE things done, had a time trying to find things, ( I hope you all like them!) and still have to finish off my girls and our FE extenders. Plus, got to finish off the pirate costumes. I teach at night and have been super busy during the day, so it is crunch time in my house!!! I am so looking forward to the cruise!!!

Your poor DD - I hope that she feels OK, she really is a trooper having had 3 pulled and having to go back for 2 more! Hoping your cabin assignment comes in before everyone heads out , keep me posted!

Mum & I are finishing our FE gifts this weekend. I know that it will be fun to receive anything, so I'm looking forward to finding little goodies in our FE I hope that the kids enjoy finding their stuff, that's always the fun part to me.

While I'd love to start packing this weekend, I know that it's too early for me, I get paranoid that I've forgotten something, and end up unpacking and repacking the day before we leave At least I know I'm crazy!

 

[ukintheus]

The final FE list and map were emailed out to everyone this morning. I had some issues with my ability to email this morning , but I think I have now got the right map and list to everyone. If you don't see an email from me, let me know.

The last version, which includes Deanna's cabin assignment has FINAL in the PDF titles, in case I was confusing ya'll as much as I was confusing myself!

 

[Madmommy17]

Thanks I dont know how you do it I cant even keep up with myself. LOL

I usually send multiple emails before I get it completely right!

You found us just in time to share in the crazy pre-vacation countdown! When you book your next Disney cruise you can sign up for the FE

My sister just called and is also in the super-excited vacation countdown mode. This time next week she will be on a plane on her way here to Houston.

 

[gumbypee]

I am so excited - I live in Houston now but I am from Florida and we would go to Disney every year as kids so I am a Disney freak!! I was so excited to hear it was going out of Galveston. My dad and stepmom have been on three Dis cruises and love them. I have no kids and am actually going alone (although I do know someone going too) but I just couldn't resist and splurged on this cruise! yay

I can imagine how hard it is to live so far away from WDW having lived so close! It's exciting to have our own little piece of Disney floating around in our "back yard".

We are having a quick meet up in the Promenade Lounge at 3 pm on Saturday, if you have time to swing down there you are very welcome to join in, you would then know some more people ;-)

 

[gumbypee]

thank you for the promenade invite. I will try to make it there!

I was looking at old posts and saw Cathy was a little worried to go it solo. If she is still here I want to tell her that I have been on an Alaska cruise alone and made two great friends. I have been to theme parks alone and it is awesome bc you can do whatever you want whenever you want and not have to worry about others (not meaning that in a selfish way LOL). And I have even been all the way to Africa alone and that was by far the best thing I have ever done in my life. So cathy, just do it!!

Thanks for the thoughts! It will be 5 weeks this Sunday since I broke my collarbone. I'm still wearing a sling (figure 8 sling that goes around my shoulders). Everyday is an improvement. It is in the healing process and, although I won't be 100%, we are looking forward to a great cruise. We had to change one excursion, but still plan on doing everything else we wanted.

Can't wait til next Friday. We will be staying in Galveston the night before. And we get to see the Disney Wonder in port when we go to the airport (San Diego).

Safe travels to everyone!

Chad.
