'Wonder'ful Ship of Fools-We're Crusin' in April(15-22)

[kathylawless]

Kathy is here! I just didn't have much exciting to add for a few days! We still haven't gotten our travel docs and I'm getting my head around the FE shopping and starting to plan out some packing!

For my kids (by the way), candy and small fun things are best... they are both hitting pre-adolescent (10 and 12) and are constantly embarrassed by pretty much everything I say or do! Any small gifts will do really! My older one (Luke) is into soccer, skateboarding, music and video games. My younger one (Trevor) loves his cat, loves to read and likes to climb and play baseball and soccer, and of course, video games as well.

Just 4 weeks and 3 days away! Yay!!!!!!!

Where is kathy anyways?

Who wants to join me doing the happy dance?

 

[HartNSoul76]

MEMEMEME!!! except I think I'm starting to hit the scared stage that something will go wrong and we won't go ... everytime one of the kids cough or hurt themselves ... I'm like NO broken bones!!! no sickness!!!

 

[sjlnv]

I freak out about Evan getting hurt all the time, and Brittani is about to take her Drivers test, so thats scary as well... But I figured even if they are casted... we're going haha...

I can't believe we made it to 30 days! Though I wish it was 3 days... It is so much closer now then when we booked it!

 

[kathylawless]

I don't mind posting it on my door! I will print up the list of all those participating in the Fish Extenders and their room numbers. Just as soon as you know your room number, let me know!
It's getting about that time to start packing and getting things organized!!!!!

I could if Kathy doesn't want to I think we're the only one with room numbers right now

 

[kathylawless]

I think there is an iron in the laundry rooms! You may want to double check to be sure, but that is my recollection at least!

Glad you got your stateroom... This is my message still... :-(

Stateroom: Outside Stateroom with Restrictions Category OGT, #GTY
Modify The ability to modify your booking online is not available at this time; please call Disney Cruise Line at (800) 951-3532 or contact your Travel Agent to make changes to your booking.

32 days, only 16 days of work left for me... though that sounds like a lot. There is a lot to do in those few days off.

How is everyone packing? Can you really fit all of your stuff into a suitcase or 2? I heard someone packed in ziplock bags, that sounds like it could save a lot of space... just need an iron!

[kathylawless]

Minor correction, HartNSoul's daughter is spelled Caitlyn with a Y.
Any suggestions for the rest of HartNSoul's party? I got Caitlyn's message here about cats and math!
Also for USUKmom's mom and dad?
For us, the boys are mature for their ages but love candy, gag gifts, Trevor loves cats and hockey, Luke loves music and soccer. I'd say for both candy and whatever looks good is fine (like they really need anything!).
For Laura and myself (speaking for her), any grown up stuff or fun stuff like lip smackers, lotions, socks etc.! Candy works as well!
Time for me to get shopping and make the adjustments to our fish extender!

Boy it is going fast isn't it sure wish we would get stateroom assignments.
I want to let you all know we have been shopping for fish extenders for a while and we have items that the kids will love even if we got the information on what they like after we did most of our shopping.
Sandi and I love to shop and have some great ideas for the kids and adults alike.
Really looking forward to this trip. Our jobs and Evan's health were very stressful recently and want to just relax you will all know me I will be the old lady sleeping on deck.
See you all soon!~

Alexis likes Most Pixar films, favorite color is purple, she likes music (just watched the phantom of the opera) and dancing.

I've been a Disney fan since before her age Animation and Live Action ... Way to many to count Brian is a Pixar Fan as well ... like the little lamp guy Caitlyn loves the CCat and those from Aristcats ...

 

[kathylawless]

I bet they'll love the gifts!!!
It's been quite a stressful last several months (on top of several stressful years), I'll be the one snoozing next to you on a deck chair in the sun when we're at sea!! I think I overbooked our port adventures, hope I can keep up with all the fun!!

Looking forward to the company on deck!

 

[kathylawless]

Just wondering, did anyone make magnets for the fish extender gifts? If so and you want it to be a surprise to most, please just send me a private message. Just doing some brainstorming!!
Also, just a reminder, you can decorate your cabin doors with things that are magnetic and a dry erase board is a great way to communicate (but make sure you have strong enough magnet, mine kept falling off the door every time the door was opened or closed last time!). Magnetic post its are also a great way to communicate with your own family as you're spread all over the ship as well!

Wow! I wanna join the nap team on the deck! I'm pretty elderly, and need my naps!

I'm so disappointed that my room numbers haven't been posted yet. Like my mother stated I messed up! hehe! We are 28 days out... Which is crazy to me!

Do we know when we are going to have a meet up? It sounds like we are all on the 2nd seating. But I will need to print out a map and circle it to make sure I know where I'm going. I'm silly like that.

 

[kathylawless]

I'm sure there will be plenty of room on the deck for all of us to nap while the kids play!
Since we are all on the second seating and could be in different restaurants, we could meet at 7 PM in the lounge area. I will look at the map of the ship and post the deck and official name of the lounge so we all get to the same place!

The Promenade Lounge is next to the Internet Cafe on deck 3, towards aft (between midship and Parrot Cay restaurant). How about we try to meet there on the first day out around 7 PM? There are also board games for guests to use in there!
Thoughts???

We requested the PTTAPTA rotation (I read that Triton's is the best for formal night). Also hear that Parrot Cay was great for Pirate's night. Does anyone have a rotation they like? I do not know all of the rotations, I just called as asked to have Triton's 3x.

 

[kathylawless]

I didn't know we could even see what our rotations are going to be before the cruise! I don't have any preferences but Parrot Cay on Pirate night was fun! But, I think they make it fun no matter what restaurant you are in!
