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

Hey PMDR56

If you want to participate in the FE Run (thats what I call it as we all run around the ship looking for FE)

I could make you a no sew - real easy like (i mean it wont be fantastic art - but it will still be good - if i do say so myself)

and it could be my FE gift to the adults in ur cabin!!!!!!

Let me know!!!

 

[PMDR59]

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

I know the insanity feeling. I really I cant find mine. I found it in the Christmas Tree Shoppe several years ago ..it was Perfect!!! It was a Picture frame wall hanger thingy made out of "DIS" green canvass. Has 3 slots for pictures and a little basket at the bottom. It was great. I added stuff from the scrabook section and slipped in pics from previos Dis cruises. Reallllllly would LOVE to know where it went. (DH probably got rid of it, hes ALWAYS getting rid of stuff)

Thanks SOOOOOO much for the offer !!!!! I love Dis board peeps!!!! But my heart just isnt in it this year....and I dont want to just grab something/anything to stick in peoples FE's. Normally I put time/effort/thought/and into the Fe gifts. (and this would have been great since it is a small group, The PC repo crusie was a tremendous FE Group) So thank you again. But I am bowing out gracefully of the Fe this time around.

Our travel agent was on vacation so we didn't get our documents until Thursday. I was getting worried. Forgot they'd go to the TA.

Now comes the final panic of getting ready, eh? We leave in 7 days.

Anyone started watching for hurricanes yet?

 

[GoofyNewfie]

Hey Folks,

Here's what I've accumulated for FE information.

Justinmarie, we need your room number.

Goofynewfie----- dad (Chris) mom (Kim) 11 boy (Alex), Room 2580

Ladyleslie------- leslie sandy 9 girl, Room 6131

Realfam-------- dad mom 11 girl 2 girl Room 5506

Skyman8963-------- dad (Skyler) mom (Jamie) 8 boy (Ethan) 4 boy (Caden), Room 5018

Justinmarie----- dad (Kevin) mom (Justine) 12 girl (Taytem) 9 girl (Payton), Room ???

 

[skyman8963]

thanks goofynewfie that list helps,
anyone want to meet sometime on the boat to see who we have been talking to for the last few months.

havnt looked at hurricanes yet but i will soon.

 

[skyman8963]

lady leslie is sandy your 9 yr olds daughters name

 

[GoofyNewfie]

Hopefully Ladyleslie replies soon herself, but in case not, I don't think that's her daughter's name. That info I posted came from Ladyleslie's info a few pages back plus what I added since we started posting names.

I had a look for hurricanes. Not a single troubling thing brewing yet. Anyone remember at the beginning of the year how they were forecasting a really bad year for hurricanes? Pretty mild so far (and fingers crossed it stays that way).

I'm up for a meet, but I don't know anything particularly about the boat. However, I suspect that the kids will be meeting pretty quickly at the various clubs. I know mine can't wait to check it out.

 

[skyman8963]

Yep your right on Ladyleslie, sorry about that.
Sandy is her mom and Julie is her daughter

my bad should have went back and read all posts, 2nd one on this thread



was just thinking if everyone is on board early we could say hi early on Thursday so that way we have more people to talk to as the cruise goes on.

Do you think they have the Big Ten network on the cruise, would really like to catch the Buckeyes in their first game ( dont tell my wife).

 

[JustineMarie]

Hey Everyone! We are going to have to drop out of the FE. I can't find mine and I just don't have the time to make any gifts. My DH's grandpap is in the hospital and we have been spending most of our time with him or DH's Grandma. We are supposed to leave for our land portion on Monday but if things don't start to look up we may be leaving at a later date, if at all! Sorry for the short notice and I really wish we were able to participate. It's just not in the stars for this trip I guess.

 

[GoofyNewfie]

That's too bad JustineMarie. I hope things work out and you can still join us.

 

[ladyleslie]

lady leslie is sandy your 9 yr olds daughters name

My daughter's name is Julianna
Grammy's name (my mom) is Sandy
and of course I am Leslie .....

We are getting closer!!!!!!

I'd love too !!!!!!

 

[GoofyNewfie]

So where and when do we meet? I've never been on a cruise before, let alone this ship.

Is there a time before the sail away party maybe?

If we try to meet, I guess that means that you'll have to walk up to strangers and ask if they're GoofyNewfie?

Do y'all know about the lime green mickeys? I'll try to have mine visible to make it easier.

We're almost all packed now. Final items and arranging.

 

[skyman8963]

how about 230 at at mickeys kid pool sure there will be nobody there at that time ( jsut kidding)

3pm deck 10 at the backetball courts, might be only time I get up there.

I will have Ohio state shirt on,


wish I was leaving now, still another week to go

 

[realfam]

Hi everyone!
Great to see a list.....its been a few days since I've checked the thread. Should be easy enough to FE gifts for 5 families. I see were missing 1 stateroom #
We leave for Florida a week tomorrow and no we havent even begun to pack!

DD14 Maggie

This us at the terminal in April leaving on the Eastbound Transatlantic. Now you know what we look like........I'm terrible at spotting people on the boat so if ya see us, make sure ya say hello

 

[GoofyNewfie]

That's an awesome picture. And so well timed to get us all excited. I'm down to 2.5 sleeps before we leave for the land portion. The .5 because we have to be at the airport Monday at 4am (sigh).

I've only seen 1 suggestion for where to meet, but a few people interested in meeting.

3pm deck 10 at the backetball courts

I don't even know where that is yet, but does that sound good? I need to know soon because I probably won't be getting back online after Sunday.

Here's the last FE list that I'll post up. It seems to have everything included now. Although JustineMarie had to bow out, I kept her info in because she can still meet up with us if she's able to make it. (hint hint JustineMarie - hope everything's going well and you can still make it ).



Goofynewfie----- dad (Chris) mom (Kim) 11 boy (Alex), Room 2580

[GoofyNewfie]

Just checked for hurricanes. So far, so good. I only see one that has a 20% chance of forming.

 

[realfam]

Hurricanes No worry, ship just sails away from them.....

Well, 4 FE are better than none. Still a fun thing to do....


Not sure if we'll make the meet at the Mickey pool, but look forward to meeting you all.

Hello, this will be our 1st Disney cruise After a very difficult year of loss and some medical issues, we really wanted to do something wonderful for our 10 yr old son, who has been amazing through it all We would love to participate in the Fish Extender thing people are talking about... but please, could someone explain how and what it is exactly? I know it involves small gift exchange, but thats all I've been able to find Also, do the gifts need to be of a certain price? (Money is tight right now because of all the medical bills and issues, but we really want to make this special for our son)
