nennewmom....glad to see you back! I'm hoping you will join the FE exchange because I think it would be great to have more kids...My son tells me EVERY day just how many days we have left!

Thank you Nick for putting it all together.

 

[nennewmom]

Thanks MontanaDJ. I haven't had time to look into what FE is, but this makes it my 10th post and I can finally PM.

May 1st a.o.k with me.

Anyone else have input on the May 1st cut-off date for the FE?

 

[DisneyBasket]

May 1 is OK with me too. I would have preferred a little sooner, but not sure I will get to the hand made stuff before then anyway. Already started planning our goodies

 

[MontanaDJ]

I'm okay with the May 1st date as well...can people please check the spelling of their names...and there is one person...sorry don't have it in front of me who just has DD and DS...can I have their names, please?? I've started working on my gifts...hoping that more kids will join us...

RE: kid's names: I was going to ask the same thing. However, if you are uncomfortable sharing their names on the internet for all to read, perhaps you would PM them to MontanaDJ and me (and if anyone else needs them, to them too ). We'd love to help you make magic for them, but I do understand your caution!

Also, is anyone in this group scheduled for Main Dining? We are, and I am wondering if we will miss out by having the earlier seating? We find ourselves running out of steam earlier than we used to (before we turned 50!) (Oh, heck, before we turned 30!) I know we will be able to see all the shows, etc., just don't want to miss out on anything else.

We have an excursion one evening til 6. Will we be able to still go to dinner that night, or should we expect to eat elsewhere?

I've been ordering supplies and goodies for our FE gifts, they have been arriving. I have to confess, I am having a hard time focusing at work! I'd rather think about our upcoming trip! Good thing this is a bit of a slow time for me in the office.......

 

[MontanaDJ]

We are in the earlier dining as well...figured it was better with the kids...then we can see the shows afterwards...I agree it's hard to focus...I seem to hit these boards late at night and then just keep reading into the wee hours...kids are on Spring Break next week...so I'm hoping they can help me get some stuff ready.

It's so nice to have people to chat with...

Ok everyone that has requested the Mickey Heads and the Wonder image for our group tshirts should have received an email with the images included.

If anyone else would like to join the rest of the 'Pirates of the Inside Passage' then just send me a PM with your names and an email to send the images to.

@Nick, do you think we should mention the shirts in the FE section???

 

[nick.turpchinoff]

If everyone mentions what dining they have, I can put it on the FE list!
That way you can PM someone and talk about having dinner with them.

I've added our dining time on ours -- we have late dining!

Already mentioned, but I'll repeat! We have Main Dining.

We might be joining you!! I am booked on the Aug 30th sailing, but can't resist the IGT price and might switch to this one and save $750 - I live locally and its easy for us to come hop the ship - I am seriously thinking about it - only thing is my daughter is in high school and not sure I want to pull her, but it does land on our long weekend, so its easier to pull her. Also I have one of my fave rooms booked on our Aug 30th, so have to decide if I want to give that up and have no control and possibly be in on the deck 2 dungeon....

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

Oh where is your FE list? I want to see how many other teens are on this from the DIS! Thanks.

 

[kris3kid]

My mom and I have the late dinning. There are a few excursions that we wanted to make sure and have the time for.
The trip seems so close yet so far away. I have started to gather my odd things for the trip and can't wait to begin to pack.
My mom and I give out tip cards for people that help along the way and for tipping. We got most of them made, we ended up making 15 of them. We were surprised how many that we needed for the trip. It is nice to have that done and set aside for packing. Now it is time to put the fish extender things together and get them ready for packing.

 

[magicimaginear]

By all means come along...as for school think of it this way. If you decide to still go in august then you will be paying roughly $125 a day to keep you kid in school. Just a thought

Love your thinking! Ok calling to switch now- OMG I am such a planner and this isn't like me to not do my check in at the 90 day mark, not get my preferred room and dining time....EEK!
I am fairly spontaneous, but not with my vacations - Im a PLANNER!

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

I did it! Switched over - put us on the FE list please! (also please let me know where it is!)
It is myself -Liz (39) and Megan (15) - birthday on the cruise for Meg!

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

Ok sorry for totally overposting but I just realized WE GET THE PREMIERE OF PIRATES 4 ON THIS CRUISE! O M G I WANT TO SCREAM AND JUMP!

[magicimaginear]

Thats the reason we booked this cruise a few weeks ago. We booked igt and got 2135 cat 10c. Wanted a 10a but at least I'm on the ship.
