Sailing the Ocean Blue...October 6, 2012 Eastern Fantasy

[TaTa4Now1968]

Hi Beth! I just noticed on the roll call list my family is not listed. Unless I'm just missing us. I haven't looked at it in a awhile so I decided to take a peek and see what you and Sue were talking about with the whole name thing. I'm sure it's an easy fix since you have all our info already. Thanks again for everything you are doing I really appreciate it all.

Jamie

Sorry Jamie, I did not post it to the Roll Call List. You did provide me with the info in the FE Form and I forgot to ask you if you wanted your names and ages posted on the Roll Call List and the FE Exchange list that everybody can see.

Thanks Beth!! It's really no problem at all. It's totally ok for you to post our info on the roll call page. Sorry to cause any confusion.
Thanks again,

Wow ... just read up on this post ...



TaTaFor4Now1948 ... or if I'm not being too bold ... Beth ...

Your effort in taking over and managing the FE for "Sailing the Ocean Blue" is like on a nice sunny day ... welcoming, warm and very much appreciated.


We have no previous experience with FE as this will be our very first Disney cruise(s). However and whatever the format that this FE exchange will evolve into over the next seven months, we are eagerly anticipating a fun experience !


We have already started putting together a number of "surprises" and if it turns out that we break into smaller manageable groups, we will still deliver those "surprises" even if they fall outside our "exchange group(s)". The fun for us is in the giving ... and who can't have fun when you're around Disney !


I just want to say to all those on the Sailing the Ocean Blue itinerary ... I am sure that we all will be happy just having the opportunity to participate in spreading Disney cheer to other families and couples. And that is what is most important ... having fun on your holiday with your family ... and making new friends. Whatever contribution, large or small, one can do is perfectly fine ... "it's the thought that counts" ...


By the way, you can call me Fºoºz

 

[TaTa4Now1968]

Fºoºz,

Go ahead and call me Beth, that is what I answer too...well most of the time anyway

Thank you very much I appreciated the kind words, encouragement and . Like you stated we will all be happy to spread the Disney cheer to others and that is what the FE Exchange it all about

Thanks again,

Beth

popping in quickly to say hi! Things are just crazy busy around my house this week, and what do I want? I would love to sit down and start crafting some FE gifts. So many ideas floating around in my head, so little time right now. Good thing I have 7 months........
Hope everyone is doing well and having a great weekend.

 

[TaTa4Now1968]

So happy Monday to everybody....I know Mondays suck, but at least we have something to look forward to in October and in a couple of days we will know that the Fantasy will be home where she belongs..

I have got a lot of good feed back for the FE Exchange and once a couple of other groups respond I will put out some feelers. I did some research so far, but still think it is a little too early on how I am going to actually going to split it up. Please let me know what your opinion is, and I will compile a list of suggestions and present most popular idea I receive to all the participating FE Exchangers.

I hope everybody has a great Monday and when you get stressed at work, just close your eyes and imagine yourself on the Fantasy (or at least on the way there)

Ok time to relax after giving my dog a bath....may not seem like a chore to most, but she is 130+lbs.

Boy, don't get on the boards for a week and it takes hours to catch-up. That's good thing though because there for awhile it has been slowwwww.

Thank you Beth for taking on the job of organizing the FE. I appreciate it and as you see everyone does. When my family decided to go on this cruise I was very worried about having to spend too much time delivering FE gifts and you put my mind at ease about the whole situation. We are veteran Disney cruiser's and have participated in many an exchange and it's hard to believe that this is your first time. Thanks again!

Susan,

Thank you so much. It means a lot to me that you think I am doing a good job .

I cannot believe how close we are getting. I am so excited to be going on the Fantasy with this awesome group

The Fantasy just popped up on the Marine Traffic website! She is about 200 miles east of Ocean City, MD at the moment, headed northwest toward NYC.

She is supposed to pass the Statue of Liberty around 7:30 AM eastern in the morning. Might catch a glimpse here...

Received your email re: the updated FE Exchange list and input re: fore and aft ... sounds like a good idea as I read somewhere that it makes delivery of the FE exchanges easier where there is a large group ...


I would like to be placed in the "fore group" ... as my DW always tells me to "get off my aft" ...


Even better yet, you can put me in both groups ... all those deliveries and "exercise" will save my aft from getting bigger after I devour all those Mickey Bars I keep hearing about ...

I think a lot of us will have to work out aft off from all the good food we will be eating

Thanks for the response and input

[SeaYaRealSoon]

Here is the link to watch the Fantasy sail into NY Harbor: http://NYHarborWebcam.com/

There are also a couple of other cams like the Intrepid Cam and the Statue of Liberty Cam. If you cannot find them let me know, I think I may have them saved in my favorites.

[TaTa4Now1968]

Cool because you know I need my beauty sleep and every minute helps....

I still cannot believe that the Fantasy will be in NYC tomorrow....I wish I was there

 

[TaTa4Now1968]

Well, I thought I was going to finally get a good night's sleep this week and I would get up bright and early to see the Fantasy and not feel like crap...but noooo NASCAR is messing with me, this last 40 laps are going to be intense!!!!!
