[skyman8963]

just a note you had our room number wrong on the sheet you just posted

our room is 5018

my screen name is skyman8963


is it time yet for vacation just had to spend the entire day with my boss,
We have a birthday party for both boys this weekend and my wife is so worn out I feel like nothing is getting done ( oh well at least I got the grass mowed and the back yard ready for all the little munchkins)
were expecting over 50 people and my wonderful wife could not understand why I didnt want to cook out. Oh well, I lost but at least there not getting steak. Hamburger hotdogs and brats for everyone. Anyone else want to come still plenty of room, I dont think they have invited the people 20 houses down from us but I could be wrong


oh well enough whining 29 days until our flight woo hoo

 

[ladyleslie]

I went to the mailbox yesterday ... and there it was ... sitting right there ....

Cruise Documents !!!!!

 

[skyman8963]

got mine also just gets me more and more excited

I really hope my family enjoys this and wants to do it again


Ok any guidelines for the FE

 

[chabs]

I got my documents yesterday also. Is anyone going to Atlantis by booking the Comfort Inn that isn't a party of 4? We are a party of 5 and I need an extra wristband. Please PM me if you have an extra and maybe we can work something out. Thanks!

 

[skyman8963]

ok I need some help

We really want to get this FE done as soon as possible so we are not working on it right before we go on vacation.

So I need some help making sure we are doing it right
1. are we doing this for each child and for the room, or are we just going to do it for every one since there is not alot of us.
2. are we just doing one day
3.Is there anything forbidden
4.Do any of the kids have allergies wouldnt want someone to get chocolate if they are allergic or an adult who doesnt like liquor get some.

would love to hear some thoughts since we are so close now and we are leaving 5 days before the cruise.
PLEASE HELP

 

[realfam]

Good questions.... I think we need an exact count of how many families are in first. Normally when we have done it, it has been one gift per FE (but thats with 56 rooms). I think if were a small number ie 6-7 we should do 1 gift per room for each day. Just fun stuff!!!!

<<<<realfam - I think if were a small number ie 6-7 we should do 1 gift per room for each day. Just fun stuff!!!! >>>>


Sounds good to me - but guys were talking about little "treasures" to brighten the trip - nothing extravegant right??

 

[skyman8963]

to be honest i was looking at some trinkets and candy for the kids, in one bag and anything my wife wants to make in the adult bag, since she loves to play with her cricut

Not sure what 11 yr old girls like but we are looking, we have boys and I can deal with that.

 

[JustineMarie]

Hey Everyone! I have been tearing my attic apart looking for my fish extender and I can not find it ANYWHERE! I even tried to purchase one and can't find one anywhere (except Etsy but im afraid it won't be here in time since we leave on the 21st now). Any suggestions? Also, It's me (Justine) my husband, Kevin, and 2 daughters, Taytem age 12 and Payton age 9. If I can't find an extender we will just back out but I'd like to avoid that if possible!

 

[skyman8963]

My wife is making ours, she got a yard of disney fabric for the backing, some black fabric for the pockets and she either will use a hot adhesive or sew them on. Nothing extravagant but it will do the job so we dont miss out
cost maybe $15 total with the rods to hang it

 

[skyman8963]

dont back out heck I would just drop the bags at your door doesnt matter to me sounds like just fun for all of us

 

[PMDR59]

Got an UPGRADE!!

But honestly really wanted the Sideways Cabin we had

Got our Cruise Docs yesterday and all was good. Got a Message today from DCL that we were upgrded to a Cat 8.

And of course they reminded me to change the room number on all the luggage tags I just got

Would have been nice to have been upgraded to a Verandah. Never experienced that yet. I actually prefer the inside staterooms because I LOVE to sleep in complete darkness. I am happy, just disappointed that we will lose out on the Sideways cabin.

 

[skyman8963]

congrats on the upgrade

Seriously?! The girls were a piece of cake - the boys however ggggrrrrrrrrr _ Ive never notice before exactly how much those princesses dominate!!!!!

 

[skyman8963]

if you can, could you all send me your first names of the people in your party so my wife can personalize her stuff she is doing for you.

If you dont want to that is fine

 

[skyman8963]

hello my wife is going nuts, she never thinks anything she makes is good and anybody will like it. But, they are cool for me.
we have been up untl midnight for the last 2 nights just going through what we want to give. I know nothing extravagant, but that cricut wasnt cheap and I am glad she is using it.


Justine marie we still need your room number


PMDR59 are you going to join us.

so we are doing one bag per room per day so a total of 3 bags right? Thur, fri and sat.

i know I ask alot of questions but that is the way I am , need all the details.

Sorry Skyman, count me out on the FE. Never was able to locate mine. Let your wife know that whatever she is doing will be fantastic!!! When we did the FE gifts on our last cruise the best ones were the ones made with !! Still have a bunch on my fridge and on my desk at work

 

[skyman8963]

thats to bad PMDR59, my wife just couldnt seem to make a FE she liked so she went out and bought a 4 shoe organizer and is decorating it herself. Its going to do double duty when we get home.

she got it 50% off at Joann Fabrics.
Original FE = $30+ didnt like
Refund = $30 FE
New FE= $10
knowing she is sane again= priceless
