Are you calling your shoes garbage Lynne???
No, but last time I took, everything from irn bru to jaffa cakes to scotland flags to home made tablet for my dis buddies.
Lens kilt is pretty heavy which is a pain, I might make him wear it to travel!
Gosh, I was worried about my DD's who will be 8 & 9 throwing tantrums. At least it's more acceptable for a 2 year old to do one! Someone suggested we score them, My 8 year old does a really good one!
She can throw a doozie...
We'll see how it works out. So far it looks as if we will be grabbing some tables and everyone going and getting their ice cream.
Hello everyone.
Sorry its been such a long time since I posted.
You guys go through the pages at such a fast pace I wouldnt have been
able to keep up. I have looked in from time to time though.
Carl and I have booked one of the Med cruises in May with the money I have saved with quitting smoking (9 months). Anyway we have had to concentrate on that because there are lot of ports and we are trying to decide what to do on a budget !!.
Anyway excuses over, I would love to start to join in with you all on a regular basis from now on.
I/we are on the role call, but our details again ....
Me Jan
Hubbie Carl
Late dining
Cabin 6078
Cruised once before on the Magic.
For the question about Formal night :- I love dressing up, I have already bought two new dresses and Carl has bought a Tux. So yes we will be.
Anyway enough said dont want to bore you.

Were 7 cabins down in 6092. . I just found other ways to spend it. Very cool!
Now we have to get together and do our own excursions and keep the costs down.

Does that count???
25 actual FE's is what I was aiming for. And I wanted to put people with kids in a group with other people with kids... I tried to figure it out last night, but the more I tweaked the requirements, the harder it became...
So, this weekend for certain...
Oh, and I am open to suggestions... When I think about what I am doing, I have a cabin gift and then things for kids. That way we can leave something in every pocket... Am I going over board?
Sorry, my DIS-order seems to be flaring up again today...

I have been on two cruises with Don "Ducky" Williams and have found him to be very generous. He usually does a talk about how he got started and while doing that he draws several characters. I really wanted the Captain Hook one as he is my favorite bad boy. I digress....Anyway, after the talk he raffles them off to the auidance (you get the ticket when you enter the talk).
If anyone gets the chance you should go. You might get lucky!

Thanks Sue!
When do they normally get released, 30 days out? Do they get released earlier sometimes?
I think 25 cabins? So you can do a gift for the whole cabin, or seperate gifts for everyone in the room. So, I intend on doing the kids their own gifts, and then adults seperately.

Another fine fit for us to enjoy since it is, of course, someone else's kid! A kilt really must eat up your allowance, but we will be so pleased to see him in it!!!
Well, if we are going to rate FITs, please let me know when that is happening and I will make sure Becca is there...
When Stephanie and I travel to WDW or do a Disney cruise, we ask each other each day how old are we today? If I am 4 years old that day, I just might pitch a fit????!!!!

So a FE might have 1 person, 2 people or 4 people or even as much as 6 people if 2 rooms are doing 1 FE? So if you're ina group that has kids you could have 36 people (if you're doing individual gifts) vs. a group without kids might only have 25 people?
We don't have kids, but, while I haven't gotten everything yet, I was planning on a few kids in the group. Personnally, I think I prefer assigning the groups by FE (keeping in mind an equal number of people in each group, as close as possible).
We got one of his pictures at his talk on the WBPC 2008.
I have been making my FE gifts, but I was making them for the DIS member and not for the family. Thanks for sharing this perspective, maybe I should re-consider and make bags that will be for the whole cabin. That way the kids can grab out what they want. No matter what was in our FE gifts the kids were just excited to run to the cabin to see if there was anything in the FE extender. I do not think they even care what it was. It was like their Birthday everyday.

We got Minnie Mouse the first time we saw him.

Hi again and thanks for all the welcomes.
It seems like there will be a good mix of people from all over the world - even a good representation from Down Under.
Corinna my husband is a captain with EK on the 777. I did hear last week that the 380 was going to start doing the route - Chris will be dissapointed he went to Uni in Manchester and loves doing that flight.
I would love to go to a "Ducky" call painting class (although i am a terrible artist) i wonder if kids can go my DS loves art and unlike his mother is actually talented.
Lisa, my DD will be 51/2 at the time of the cruise and loves making new friends, after an initial 10 minute period of shyness. it seems that most of the kids going are a similar age so that should make it easy. and it is probably fair to say each kid will get over excited and have some form of meltdown at least once.
dressing for formal evening is always fun - to combat weight restrictions the same dress with new accessories often works. or just tell everyone else that your traveling with they can only bring one change of clothes and a swim suit and use their baggage allowance.

Below (hopefully if you can see it
I didn't have enough people for a "Candy Only" group so for the couple of people that indicated that was their preference, I've put you into one of the "Chocolate or Candy" groups - I hope this is ok but please let me know if you don't want to continue playing.
Could I ask everyone playing to please check that I have the correct number of players in your stateroom please?
Also if you still would like to play, I'm happy to keep taking names and numbers.
Nearer sailing time, I will include stateroom numbers also and updated groupings so please do not assume this set in concrete.
