Laurel, I was the same way until I talked with Michelle. She told me some of the really neat things people had done. I was stressing that people were making really cool things and that mine wouldn't compare. You know what....that's a crock! Anything is great!!! You'll be fine!!!

Breathe....3 more months....breathe...3 more months....breathe.....

. . . Also, my daughters are wondering if anyone besides our group ever hangs FEs on their doors....which I thought was a good question. If I see an FE am I safe in assuming it's a disboard person?

There are a few other Disney groups who also use FEs, though they all don't call them "FEs."

Haven't even thought about what to do for FE. But I have an idea for the adults. Of course I am "borrowing" it from our last cruise. I will cross that bridge when I get done with the name tags.

I did get the t-shirts done today tho.

I checked my PMs, Suzie. Sent you one back.

Jackie and Suzie everything went through paypal just fine. Thanks!

I will be double digit dancing with you Amy! can't believe it!

We will likely see a good number of FEs, pouches, and bags of all types (such as trick or treat bags) on this Halloween cruise.

posting this again this is just some the stuff we recieved from our FE

DS got this in the T&T from last years cruise

And now, a few comments from your pharmacist friends...
Codeine-over the counter???

Paracetamol= acetaminophen http://www.assistpainrelief.com/info/paracetamol/

Bonine: Available without a prescription in the US. According to DW's info, there are currently some supply issues with Meclizine in the US. Double Dippers might wish to get some now. Some sort of raw material issue.

Looking at all the little green lights, it looks like a chat could break out at any minute...

Must admit, have done a bit of stressing over FE gifts myself. Have most of what I want picked up, but still last few items to get. Thinking about adding TOT items to my suitcases is adding another stress - not to mention getting it all home again afterwards. Why, oh, why did the airlines have to put luggage restrictions in place now !! ?? Don't they realize us addicts have been planning this stuff for months!!

By the way, as a result of chat discussion, pm'd DisneyCruiser100 (Pam) for an update on the TOT she volunteered to plan again this year, but she hasn't gotten back to me so far. Does anyone have any contact with her? She hasn't been active on here in awhile and we were just wondering if she's still able to do the TOT.

And 3rd - Aneille and I have been planning to do the Dolphin Discovery at Chankanaab in Cozumel. We already have enough between both our groups to get the 10% discount, and the free transportation to and from the port, but wanted to see if there was anyone else interested in joining us. Here's the website...

And by the way - we're going cruisin'

I think I know what I'm going to give as FE..... but I'll wait till we have final counts to get them.

Valerie,
I was also going to book the dolphin royal swim for my family. Did you already reserve and for what time?

Other good news.. I paid off my cruise I also gave in and booked the REAS package (wanted something romantic for myself and husband) I figured this is our first vacation as a family and never went on a honey moon so I was able to book brunch and a dinner at Palo I am really getting excited as the time gets closer.

Still trying to scramble to make some ADR's for our stay at WDW for three days after the cruise having never been there I am trying to book something my kids would enjoy. Also trying to decide what we cannot miss at the parks. Any suggestions?

Have a wonderful evening all!

Tara

 

[laurelk]

Thanks, everyone, for your kind reassurances about the little FE gifts. It was just a momentary panic attack...tiny....miniscule...really....I think....

We applied for the girls' passports last weekend, woohoo! I have such parent-envy, I didn't have a passport until I was at least 20.

We're still working on the whole costume thing...perhaps a family theme will emerge after all....

Thanks for the info - we don't have meclizine here but we have something called cyclizine which sounds like it could be from the same group if drugs - although it isn't an over the counter drug. The codeine we have over the counter is usually combined with paracetemol and in an 8/500 ratio - usually called co-codamol. Any higher strength codeine based drugs are prescription only. Do you have ibuprofen in the US also?

Whispering Canyon in Wilderness Lodge - I am sure your kids (and yourselves) would enjoy this. The food is divine and the whole dining experience is defintely entertaining! We hope to book this for out last night in Florida

 

[suziemva]

Do you have ibuprofen in the US also?

Yup, one of my best friends.....Advil or Motrin are the most popular brand names. Advil Cold and Sinus is a staple in my house because of allergies, etc. It combines ibuprofen and sudafed. Gotta love it!

I second that vote!!! It's an awesome experience that everyone should do at least once. We do WCC at least 95% of our trips. It never gets old. (Be sure to ask for ketchup!!)

Hi Tara,

We haven't booked it yet. We are hoping to book it soon. I am waiting to hear back about which dolphin activity some in my group want to do. And hopefully we will be able to book a morning time.

 

[LovableGluttons]

Oh now you're tempting me.

Part of me wants to do the dolphin thing.

In the 2008 PassPorter, there is an error, listing a Fury Catamaran Snorkeling excursion. It actually belongs over in Key West, not Cozumel. I didn't realize until I was booking my excursions.

How much does the dolphin swim run? I would have 3 adults and one 9 year old.


Thanks!

The Fury catamaran sail and snorkel is also listed on the Disney Cruise website as an excursion for Cozumel - we were hoping to do this one so I hope it is available in Cozumel.

OK, now I'm confused!

It was not listed when I booked excursions.

I really wanted to do that one too!

Maybe I should call DCL??
