I am almost finished with the FE....what a PIA!!! I have been using the new sew instructions but what a lot of ironing!!! I will post a pic here once I am done, just need to add some finishing touches. Can't wait until Monday as we are heading down early.....!!

LenaN4fun welcome to the rollcall, will you be putting out a FE for your kids if so I will add them to the list.

I sure would like to see Erica go away, it just give me something else to worry about.

This time next week we should be about 1 hour from Orlando to spend the night.

ONLY 7 MORE DAYS TO GO!!!!!!!!!

We are staying at the Residence Inn. I read really good reviews in the Cape Canaveral info thread and in the Passporter Guide. We have our own car and will just park at the port. I don't really want to deal with the hassle of a shuttle, though I've heard good things about the one from the Residence. Still, I'd rather just pay a bit extra and be able to come and go as I please. With a 3 year old in tow, that is important! We are also headed to WDW after the cruise. We're staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge. I also wanted to get that part started asap, so that was part of my thinking as well.

We are going to WDW after the cruise too! It is just me and my 3yr old son and I am thinking the same way I want to get to WDW asap! I dont know if I should use the shuttle,I was thinking it may be easier to use since It is just the two of us.

I can imagine the shuttle might be easier if its just the two of you. I have my mom and aunt along, so plenty of luggage help and child-wrangling services available!

I'm glad there are a couple of younger kids...I think my daughter is going to LOVE the kids' club. It seems like it will be her kind of thing. I want to go and watch her and take some pictures...does anyone know if that's ok? She'll probably kick me out though. She's all into the "I'm a big girl! I do it all by myself!" stage.

I don't think it would be a problem for you to join her for awhile and take photos.
Children under 3 are allowed into the club with a parent there with them, so you shouldnt have a problem getting in

6 days left until we leave for Florida!!! I can't believe I'm finally going to DisneyWorld!

Now how keep sane while waiting for these last few days to go by? lol

Now how keep sane while waiting for these last few days to go by? lol

Why, by obsessively packing and re-packing, of course! No? Huh.

I hate to ask, but what is an FE?

 

[kcashner]

Parents are always welcome in the Oceaneer's Club.

 

[crewsin250]

Lena this is my first Disney cruise and from what I can tell it is sort of like a stocking for Christmas. There is a post on these boards that goes into details and also shows some photos of some them, just a little sompin/sompin extra for the kids. I can't say how much stuff they may get but they will get something, let me know.

Looking like Ericka is not going to be to big of a problem if any at all.

5 more days till we leave!!!!!

 

[LenaN4fun]

OK, sounds like a blast. We have 2 kids to add to the FE list

My FE list:
Hunter 10yrs old room 2526
Elyse 4yrs old room 2528

How do we get an updated list of all the kids on the FE list?

5 days...or 6 depending on what you are counting. But Love that we are in the:thumbsup single digits now!!

 

[dhdozier]

Hi all! Wondering if anyone has a daughter going on the cruise that is around age 10? My daughter was looking to make a new friend

 

[dhdozier]

Parents are always welcome in the Oceaneer's Club.

Maybe by the cast members, but the kids...particularly your own - probably not so much

 

[crewsin250]

The FE list is updated:

I think we will have to stop here with the names on the list. This way we will know how many kids to buy for and we are running out of time. So everyone that can or will please try and drop some gifts off to the kids on the list and everyone is welcome to stop by for the meet and greet deck 3 promenade lounge at 2:30 PM on 9/10/09.

[LenaN4fun]

ok, went shopping today for the FE gift exchange. I did not have enough time to make or p/u a fish extender so I just picked up a white gift bag today that the kids will decorate for their goodies.

Ugh!! I can't wait!

 

[lovechild6175]

Have small things for the FE's, nothing big. But thanks for the ages, I do have to get something appropriate for the older gentleman (10yo is old? We must be ancient...)

MNSSHP was a blast, but well underattended (far from sold out).

Kim & Evan, we will be heading back to WDW after the cruise, if you need a ride. I only have one carseat, though, and we might be a wee bit tight. But if you don't mind, then neither do I. We're at Pop Century right now and will probably come back here (I haven't decided yet, but J is really happy about this place).

Can't wait till Thursday!! YAY!!!

Where is the meet and greet again?

 

[crewsin250]

Hi mabel hope ya'll have a great time at WDW and any other park ya'll may visit. I looked backed through some of the post and seen where you would like to taste some different kinds of wine I don't know if you have ever had any Muscadine wine but I will be bringing a bottle and you are welcome to taste. It is far from being top end wine but it is made in Natchez Mississippi at Deep South Winery.

We have laid out all our clothes and just about finished up on shopping for gifts for the FE, will try 1 more time tommorrow on making our t-shirts.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and we are looking forward to meeting as many of ya'll as possible onboard the Wonder.


3 MORE DAYS before we leave!!!!

So jealous that you are there!!! What are the lines like and how is the weather?

We are leaving tomorrow... so much to do! Haven't even started to pack! I finally finished the FE this morning...had some difficlties with the iron-on (the paper stuck and it looked burnt) so I used my Dh advice and printed out another iron-on and glued it over top the old one. My oldest saw it and said 'are the princesses (with a few to many s's going to leave us presents?'..she can't wait to put presents in other FE's!

Gotta go drop off the dogs (kennel closed tomorrow due to holiday), then cut the grass, do laundry, pack ect! What a day this will be!!

And here is the final product:

 

[LenaN4fun]

Wow, that FE turned out nice!
Congrats!
