The FE list closed last week. There are some people who are leaving this weekend and others who ordered specific numbers of items or have hand made their items and there's no way they can add more people at this time. So as much as I hate to disappoint kids there's just no way I could just add you to the FE list.

That being said, if you're willing and if other people are willing I could do a second list that closes this Sat. Anyone from the first list who wanted to add you could let me know and I'd add them to their existing FE list with your info and then I could forward their cabin info to you in a PM.

I have no idea at all if anyone else would be able to do this. I talked to my wife and we would be the first on the list BUT there are a few things your kids wouldn't get that other kids would. They're honestly small trinkets and they wouldn't even notice. We plan on giving out gifts on a few different days ourselves.

Ineedava and TheThomsLuvDisney are up for the new list, we too have a few extras!

Thanks again DuckFan!!

Were on the ship in 7 days. Is everyone packed and ready to go? I'm not but i'm a last minute packer anyway

See all of you in a week.

Cant wait

 

[Duckfan-in-Chicago]

No. And I'm usually packed about a month early. I'm trying to relax a bit and not overplan everything and it's not working. We leave Thursday after my son gets out of School so I still have a little time.

 

[Duckfan-in-Chicago]

OK...with that last post being said, I'm going to close and finish up the second FE list. I have way too much stuff to do in the next few days and I'm not sure how much I'm going to be online.

 

[Duckfan-in-Chicago]

Duckfan,

Thanks so much for all your effort! We just love participating and we don't really care how much or what we get. We have just as much fun planning and giving. So, please add us anywhere you can! I'm looking forward to hearing back from you.

OK...I have sent you a PM with a list of people who've agreed to add you. If you want to send PMs on this board you have to get your post count over 10 I believe. You can do that in about 5 mins going to any game thread posting a single line every 40 seconds(I believe that's the time required between posts).

A little piece of my DCL dream died today. I have spent months buying DS2 cute little vintage sailor/nautical outfits. I am officially letting it go.

He has recently become so obsessed with the Chicago Blackhawks that he refuses to go anywhere without a jersey, including to bed.

I may try to sew a couple of logos on the cute little outfits, but I'm realizing that it may not be worth the fight.

You'll know my kid when you see him!!

I started reading and figured this was going to be a bad thing like you were going to have to cancel the cruise or something. I have been shopping for Hawks jerseys for my kids for weeks. I'm kinda picky. We're going out again this weekend for last minute shopping so I'm hoping I have more luck. Even if it doesn't happen this year, this team is better rounded than the team that went to the cup in '92. You gotta believe.

We're Blackhawks season ticket holders. We only live a mile from the stadium

Here's a picture of my boys with Niklas Hjalmarsson. Obviously, not the best picture but the best one we have.

Duck-Fan - Every time I see your name I think you're an Anaheim Ducks fan. On the bright side, my kid has a ton of jerseys, I've been picking them up at thrift stores over the last couple of years (though the prices have skyrocketed this year!) I especially love the sweater he is wearing in the above picture.

Although, a bit of me can appreciate the "You gotta believe" thing it also makes me cringe a bit. I don't want anything about the darned cursed Cubs to rub off on our Blackhawks. (Please note: we're also Cubs season ticket holders!)

I just sent DH to check our stash to see if the kid owns a Predators jersey, though I'm not sure he'll put it on. Up until 2 weeks ago he was wearing a Canadiens jersey a lot but now it HAS to be Blackhawks.

There is just no reasoning with a 2 year old!

On a more annoying downside, DS has acquired a rash on one side of his face. We've seen 3 doctors about it and they all agree that its not contagious, but it has to run its course. We are cleared to travel and I had the Dermatologist put it in writing. If you remember back to when I first started posting on this board, it has been one thing after another for us (the worst of which I don't think I've shared on this thread, DS was seriously burned in November so he'll be vacationing with lots of sun restrictions)

I just can't wait to BE on the ship!!

ONE week from today!!

Um, no.
I have a different loyalty. The leader of my club isn't a rodent. But as you can see in the pic at the bottom of my post, I'm outnumbered in my own home.

(Please note: we're also Cubs season ticket holders!)

Most of my wife's family are Cubs fans. I still let them in the house when they come to visit. Most of the time anyway. And my cousin, who's going on the cruise with us, has made it his life mission to turn one of my father's four grandsons to the dark side.

By "dark side" do you mean evil or lifetime of shattered dreams and disappointment

we are semi packed, but will fiish packing on thursday night, leaving my dresses hanging and all of the dry cleaning out as long as possible! So excited to meet everyone!

 

[Lucille1963]

I'm packing now too!!!!


We spent today having DS seen by even more doctors. All three that he saw agree that he is neither infectious or contagious, but he does have a rash on his face. Hopefully, he'll look better by the time we board. THIS SATURDAY!!!!

 

[acourtwdw]

I will put out the Monday question:

What is the first thing you are going to do when you after you board the ship?

For me- get a very adult beverage and lunch at Parrot Cay!!!
