I am supposed to be in school the day we leave for FL ~ Dec. 4th.
I am going to get another parent to fill in for me.

DH is going to have lunch with the kiddos next Thurs. for their Thanksgiving meal. I ain't risking getting sick before our cruise.

I don't want to be sick

Madalyn's first grade class had 13 kids sick for a week last month (She got the vaccine the Friday before and never got sick. Knock on wood). The H1N1 virus went through the school that week. Rumor has it our area will have another round of it soon. My mom and I are planning to go in and disinfect the entire classroom if it comes back around before our trip. Crossing my fingers we make it to port healthy.

I guess we foreigners get the 'preferential treatment'

Looking forward to seeing you all in 3.5 weeks!

I'm still waiting for ours!!! But someone on the regular cruise board posted a link to check status and it directed me to UPS so it's not being sent via the postal service. Now, if it was, I'd be really worried. I think we have the worst mailman in the world. We are constantly getting our neighbor's mail and they get ours. Anyway, the UPS site said it should be delivered this week. However, I had already filled out our paperwork via online so I don't think I'm missing anything.

Hadley,

I didn't know you were still adding people to the Roll Call, I'll edit my post to reflect that. Don't stop! It would be better to have everything in one place. I was just trying to include our new posters.

[/QUOTE] Fluvanna--I am confused I thought I was just keeping a roll call for everyone. Since I add people in at the bottom when they send me their info then you can also easily use it to create badges, but I was not planning on stopping after the lanyards ran out. Should I stop? I was all set to ask our new posters to PM me their info until I got to this post:confused[/QUOTE]

Thanks,
Deena

Hope everything went well for your FIL. Hope to see you on the cruise!

OKAY--so attention all new posters to this thread pretty please PM (if you have enough posts on the DIS to be allowed to--if not please post here with an attention to me) with:

DISname
first names of those in party including ages of kids
early or late dining

and I will add you to the roll call

also, I was not paying enough attention in the flurry of recent posts. Would those of you who were changed to early dining and are already on the roll call please PM me so I get the changes recorded? Thanks.

Our family will keep one on deck 2 aft.

I can't remember who was willing to do mid ship & forward.

Does anyone remember?

These will be used for families to make note IF their cabin # changes, mini meets, etc.

IF you are willing to have it on your stateroom door, please "quote" this post with your screen name & either midship or forward.

thanks,

wuv tigger

We are midship Deck 2 and can put a board on our door. I have a small one (8x10) that I picked up a Staples awhile back. Let me know and I'll toss it in the luggage.

Thanks! Rosemary

Likely won't make it to 200 with 3.5 weeks to go and less than that before many people head on out.

Just the same, Happy Century Thread!

We can try! We're up to page 102 (or is it 103?). Let's say 102, so that's 98 pages to go over lets say 20 days since a lot of people are heading to FL early. That's almost 5 pages a day, or 75 posts a day. We can do it! Well, maybe

We did have awesome personalized magnetst for each of us that our friend made--but they were in my "cruise purse" with my "cruise jewelry" which was stolen from the hotel room we stayed in the first week here

If you want any magnets printed just PM me. We printed the Pirate/Captain hats for above the cabin number on our door. I don't mind printing a few more.

Thanks! Rosemary

Yeah, all of us have sequential numbers as we all applied for the first time this summer. Now that we have passports, I hope we can really put them to good use!!

I went magnet making happy a couple years ago and will be bringing a bunch along. The boys really enjoy decorating the door for sail away, pirate night and castaway cay. I have some Christmas ones too. I have used a lot of clip art from the Creative DISign thread and had some nice Disers do some personalized ones for our family too. I made some for DH's step brother's kids to use on their doors too. I bought magnet paper in bulk from decalpaper dot com. It's much, much cheaper than spending $15 on 4 pieces from Staples. I laminated the front sides with clear contact paper and put a sticker on the back with our names on it just in case they happen to wander.

[Hanover]

Hadley--do you still have the clip art saved on your computer from the peronalized magnets that were stolen? If so, let me know and I can make copies.

Thanks. They were left on our door as a surprise gift from my friend who was sailing with us--so it was never in my computer. He made magnets in the shape of each of our names filled with images of our favourite characters. I really liekd them. Maybe I will ask him if he hung onto the artwork. I doubt he did. You and Rosemary are so sweet though

Do you know if he did them or had someone do them for you? There are people on the Creative DISign thread that do exactly that with the names/characters. If he used one of them, they might still be saved in their name banks.

For those of you who rented cars for the drive from MCO to the Port, which rental agency did you use? Is the rental agency right there by the port? I just canceled our transfers because the buses are not equipped with seatbelts, so no way to secure our kiddo's in their carseats, or us for that matter.
