Thanks Corinna---It's not too hard to keep up with if people get me their info right away, it's just the people who check in and say they are going and then disappear and say nothing after that....then I get no info or info at the last minute when WE are all packing and getting ready for the cruise!

Thanks on the job thing....I am excited...working this past yr hasn't been fair to my girls. I need to be back volunteering in the classroom and enjoying being a mom!

I will send ya a PM about FE's soon, just needed to get thru the craziness of the holiday weekend! Fireworks were nice this weekend but nothing like fireworks on the Disney ships!!
Well off to make breakfast and look for a short hairstyle I wanna go with....will be posting a FB voting, so all of my friends there please help me decide!!

Hi Michelle,
I have been checking out the website for everyone's involvement and noticed that we have been moved off the FE list. I know the inlaws won't participate but I,m definately in with my hubby and girls. I will also try to get a photo to you soon. It is really hard to find one with all four of us as hubby is family photographer!

When are their B-days?? the 3rd of October? Robin's(disneydiva) girls have bdays the day we get onboard! yeah I love celebrations!!

I know that my "boy" is a little bigger, but Graham will celebrate his birthday on October 6th. I already have some birthday magnets for him so this time he can't just ignore it.

I know what you mean about people posting once and then disappearing. For our next cruise, the organizers for the lanyards and Fish Extenders have been chasing people for weeks now who originally signed up, but since disappeared off the face of the earth.

I am so busy at the moment. I have to finish off the end of quarter paperwork by tomorrow. We still don't have the sales stats for June and I have to type up evaluations for 10 team members. Fortunately I am on the late shift today so hopefully I will get most of it done.

I had my hair cut last week. It is shorter and a different style and I love it. I can't find my camera lead at the moment. I am also not quite sure how to put a photo on Facebook. All the photos that are on there were put there for me by other people.

I have my video appointment to get my custom jewellery for formal night made on Thursday. I am so excited. Of course, things did not go entirely to plan. I chose the beads and sent them to the jewellery artist. I went for white pearls and Swarovsky crystals in white, pink, clear and light blue. I have one pink and white evening gown and the other gown that I had custom made was supposed to be pink and blue. Of course, when I received it, it was just light blue so the jewellery will not be quite so perfect a fit as I had envisaged, but I am sure it will still look lovely.

The same artist also made me a pendant for the person I am giving to for Secret Mickey yesterday. I asked for a pendant with a Pirate Princess theme and also asked her to incorporate some of the beads that I had sent her for my custom project. She chose one of the pearls and the larger crystals are also from the stuff that I sent her. I am absolutely in love with this piece of jewellery. I think I might need to to get her to make one for me as well.

The other custom made gift is going to be more difficult. I want to get a embroidered and personalised pillow case that the person I am gifting to can have signed by the characters. Of course , her favourite "character" is the castle. So I have sent the person who has done pillow cases and Fish Extenders for me in the past a message to see if she can do a castle design.

Right, I better get ready for work. See you all later.

Hello everyone! I figured out what I am going to give my secret mickey cabin. I think they will love it cuz I know I do. Still thinking of FE ideas, but like you said Corinna...I still have plenty of time to come up with something.

I am enjoying my time here in Atlanta with my family. Wish I could go to Disney seeing as how I am only one state away. So close and yet so far!!!!

Chat with ya later!!!

 

[2Pirates&1Princess]

I am still hoping I will be able to go on this cruise. Our deposit is down, but my husband may be losing his job next year and we would then have to cancel. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this doesnt happen
I would love to be on the ship with everyone again. As far as it stands now...we will be there. I am in room 6611.Me (Norma), DH Ted, DS Justin (18)and DD Taylor (12).

I am also thinking of what I want to make for the FE's. It will be something good.

Norma,
I hope you are able to join the cruise. It would be nice to meet you too! Michelle you are doing a great job at keep track of the FE's and wher everyone will be.
I am trying to make my FE but it is very hard to find any Disney stuff in Australia. I am trying to find fabric and then mum will help to make it as she is the sewing lady in the family.
Corrina-is Graham looking forward to a birthday onboard? I know it's different when you get older but it's Disney!

Becky

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Thanks Becky! It's not hard now, we'll see when more people come in. I actually am gonna change up the page of FE's I am gonna have an FE list and a roll call list just in case some people don't want in on the FE and When we set an FE cut off date(most likely end of Aug 2011) then those late comers can decide if they wanna trade amonst themselves or if any of us have extras we can add them. I think a month cuts it close cause most have made or ordered a certain number of FE gifts.

Anyhow in a couple of days U guys can all check it out!

Well Just stopped to say hey....Need to go to bed early tonight...have 2 more days of work left woohoo!TTFN

Well, I think he is. He spent his last birthday on the Magic when we were cruising with a lot of the people who are cruising with us as well. This year we were planning on flying back to the UK to Florida just before his birthday, but we are now staying at Bay Lake Tower until October 7th. Next year he will celebrate his birthday on the Wonder. I am getting rather jealous.

I would say the cut off date needs to be at least two month prior to sailing. I have something planned for Fish Extender that needs a bit of advance preparation and it is not possible to add on extra people once I placed my order.

We have been discussing on our cruise meet thread for the Transatlantic Cruise about getting dressed up for the new Villains theme night. I did not really want to do the whole costume thing, but thought that purple and black are kind of villains colours. I had bid on the perfect Monsoon dress on Ebay, but did not get it. I had a look in town today, but the only dress that kind of caught my eye was silly expensive. So I decided to order another dress from China. I have ordered this dress, but with black lace instead of the white lace:

I will wear a black pashmina with this and a black or black and purple fascinator.

I also did some preparation for this cruise. Graham had a chess match tonight so I spent some quality time doing magnets. I pretty much have the magnets for the Transatlantic cruise finished. I have about 30 magnets for this and also made 9 magnets for our cruise.

Michelle, I got your PM and I am in the process of replying. Everything is OK here. Actually, things are better than OK. You should have a PM by tomorrow evening.

Corinna-----------LOVE the dress! I have seen things on Ebay from china/hong kong/etc I am just always afraid to order from over-seas when I know nothing of the area. Hmmm maybe that's a great place to find a formal...hehe Let me know how the seller is and then let me know and I can look under the same seller knowing it went well for you! I will check my PM's tomorrow! =)))

 

[disneydiva16]

Corina that dress is beautiful!!!!!! I love it!!! I am just cruious what a pashmina and a fascinator is? I assume some sort of Boa? Anyhoot, I think you will look stunning in that dress. Will we have a villians night on our cruise? That would be fun

I am debating getting a gown this time around for formal night. Michelle wore that black one last cruise and I liked that. I guess I will shop around and see. I think 2 months out is good for a cut off date. Then we can just do a late comers list if need be.

 

[disneydiva16]

Oh, Michelle you did a great job of making the web site. Thank you soooo much.

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Thanks Robin!

Everyone I added more to the web site due to Robin's encouragment to do so!!...LOL
More info to come! If you have any suggestions of info you would like to see please let me know. I will be making a roll call list and the FE list seperate. I think that way you know which list to print for ur FE list. Plus I don't think names who aren't doing the FE need to be on that list....give me a few days and I will seperate it! Well off to bed...TTFN

This is the second dress that I ordered from China. I thought I had posted pictures of the evening gown that I had made in China on here, but maybe not. This was made to my measurements and the quality is out of this world.

When I send you the PM, I add the details of the seller. The purple dress is coming from a different seller, but the conditions are the same.

Corina that dress is beautiful!!!!!! I love it!!! I am just cruious what a pashmina and a fascinator is? I assume some sort of Boa? Anyhoot, I think you will look stunning in that dress. Will we have a villians night on our cruise? That would be fun

A pashmina is a cashmere and silk shoulder wrap.

A fascinator is a hair accessory that was tradionally worn at weddings instead of a hat, but is now worn for all kind of special occassions. Here is the kind of thing that I am after:

I love wearing gowns for formal night.

I don't think we will have a Villains Night on the Wonder. This is to go with the Villains Tonight show, which as far as I am aware, is only shown on the Magic and the Dream. I have not seen the show yet, but on our Med cruise, we had a Villains Menu and a "Villains Masquerade Ball" in the atrium after the late dinner seating. During the day, there were various activities to make masks for that event.

Thanks Robin!

Thanks for adding all this information to the website. I just had a look and it is great.

Michelle, I think a two month cut off is great. Due to us travelling from Australia to the State I have to watch our lugagge allowance. I have been getting busy with gifts but finding time around work and children is a little hard. I will check out the new page tonight as well.

Corrina love the gowns. We are going to Singapore in December so I am going to check out the gowns while I am there.

I will add the cut off date to the first post of this thread as well as the web page tonight. I thought 2 mos too but last cruise some people got snippy on that date so ...2 mos it is and to bad if they don't like....LOL
