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

[BigRed1]

Just ordered my FE yesterday. Can't wait to see it. It's going to look awesome. I had it custom made from Becky on Etsy. She is wonderful to work with and very accommodating. Just trying to figure out what I am going to do with it after the cruise since we won't be sailing Disney for another 8-10years

8 or 10 years?!?!? Oh my... I would have to sell a kidney or something if it was going to be that long before I could go back on DCL!! As Buffett teaches in Summerzcool, "my priorities are way out of line!" Anyway, I used my FE as a mail sorter for a while. Have it hanging where I see it everyday. I call it incentive!

Here's the deal....
We can ONLY afford to go in October when our fall break is. My dd16 goes to college for 4 years in 2014 (got to go to WDW next fall for MNSSHP). She won't have a fall break. Her schedule will completely be different from ours. I looked the other day and because she gets out early in summer and starts late and starts late in Jan. that would be doable for us financially but is not doable for me and dd12 who gets out later and starts earlier. When dd16 graduates, dd12 will be starting to college that fall. And that's what my future looks like..... Don't get me wrong, I'm glad my dd's are wanting to go to college.

THIS IS IN ADDITION OR SEPARATE FROM THE FISH EXTENDER EXCHANGE THAT BETH MADE FOR US....
I had read from Beth's email that some people wanted to be added to both lists. I am willing to exchange FE gifts with those who are on page 1 of the list if they would like to. If you would like to exchange with people not on your list (along with the people who are on your list) you can post that you would like to do that. I hope this is not confusing. For instance, Beth might pm me or post on here that she would like to exchange FE gifts with me. I would add her to my list I already have on page 2 and she would add me to her list that she already has on page 1. That way if more people want to exchange they can, and if they don't, they don't have to and there's no pressure. You only have to do what's on your list made by Beth. Anything you do extra would be between you and that person. I hope that makes sense. The best way would be to put yourself out there that you are willing if you are and then you can exchange with everyone that wants to or pick and choose by pm (don't want to hurt anyone's feelings) if there are certain people you would like to exchange with. Like I said, I'm interested in adding anyone to my list who would like to exchange. Just let me know.

Understand completely. That's why we cruise in October.

Allen,
How do you highlight in someone's quote or only respond to one sentence in that person's post?

Allen,
How do you highlight in someone's quote or only respond to one sentence in that person's post?

When you click the Quote button and the post window opens, the text formatting tools appear just above the quoted text. Highlight (click & drag) the text you want to change, then click the down arrow next to Font to change the font, Size to change the size and the arrow next to the letter A over the black bar to change the color. If you want to remove part of the quoted text, highlight the part you want to remove and hit delete or backspace, but leave the last Quote box [/QUOTE] or you quote will be incomplete. Have I thoroughly confused you now?

 

[MickeyMinnieMelanie]

Yes. I'll copy these directions down so that I will have them beside me when I try it the first 20 times. Thanks.

Can you say Tiki Bar?!?!? It will make a great home for my Frozen Concoction Maker with plenty of Margarita and Konk Kooler fixins! Then maybe we will actually have time to get the boat out and get it ready for the summer.

Ok... need a date that the tiki bar opens, so I can add to the calendar!!! Don't wanna miss the Frozen Concoction Maker's debut!!

I got it with my rewards points through my bank. It is a Coleman waterproof camera...the reviews are not the greatest, but it was basically free.

Went to visit my newest grandbaby with Rory. Pic of me, Rory and Charlotte and a pic of my Daughter, Rory, Jude & Charlotte. Rory was so happy to get to hold her sister and play with her brother. Rory it the granddaughter that DH and I are raising, she is more a DD than a DG, she calls us Mommy and Daddy

I have twice purchased the "one use" cameras as they are available in "underwater" models. The pictures will be as clear as the water is. I have used them with grands in pools and once on Castaway Cay. They are VERY inexpensive.

Afternoon .... room for another couple?

We (my fiance Mick and I) have just swapped from the Western in September to the Eastern in October and we'll be very happy to join you

It'll be our 6th Disney sailing and will complete our plan to do all 4 ships!
We're from Kent in the UK (south east of London) and I work for the Olympic Organising Committee so right now, we're hectic with 46 days to go!

The cruise will be pure relaxation, but after reading a report this morning about Maho Beach, I think we may have to pay it a visit .. if only to get blown away by the jet engines!!

Anyway, I'd love to join in with the FE's (Room 7538), but I'll have to limit how many I do as I won't have much time to make things between now and then!

I haven't read every page, so could someone let me know if a cocktail mixology class has been organised as we like them.

Thanks .. looking forward to meeting you all.

Joa and Mick

Sheet 1 is group 1 and sheet 2 is group 2. Please do not go by how many staterooms are on the list, go by the amount of people in each stateroom, since you will be delivering a gift from your stateroom to everybody in each stateroom listed.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Beth

Me again (I really should read the whole thread before posting)!!

With your FE, are you saying that we should buy for every person in the stateroom? I only ask as I've never done it like that before ... I've always been told it's per stateroom and you don't need to cater for individual people.

I'm easily confused I must say as my brain is mush right now, so apologies if I've got that completely wrong!

Thanks for organising Beth.
