You guys are a fun group and we are getting so excited for the cruise. It is our first Disney Cruise with our DS(Jacob 9) and DD(Abigail 6). I hope to meet some of you at the meets so the kids can meet others their age.

So....the FE has been ordered, FE gifts are in process and the shirts have arrived. Thanks Virgil for such a great shirt design. We loved it so much my DH(Stan) and I had to have 2, one with the date and one without. In response to the above question, the one with the date does have a light gray block, even on a white shirt.

Tricia

Let me be the first to you!

My DD graduated from middle school today. Talk about mixed emotions. I will never be able to get through a slide show without crying. Next year I will have two kids in high school. It was a nice ceremony. She received a lot of awards/recognition for academics, service, and clubs. She even received an award for being one of the top three students out of 300 in English. We were shocked. Since it wasn't too long ago she couldn't find details in stories, sum up any story, or even write and stay on topic, this is an extremely big deal in our lives.

Thanks for letting me do a little mommy bragging. Now back to our Disney lives..................

I got the lime green t-shirt with the date. It does have a slight box around it but is only slightly darker than the t-shirt. Still looks great and barely noticable.

Our daughters are 7 and 5 and are desperate to meet kids their age. Feel free to PM me a message and they'll write back to your daughter.

Welcome Tricia!! I have updated the FE list with your screen name.

A month from today we will be in the happiest place on earth!!

Has anyone else noticed that for those of us on deck 6 - we all seem to be on the same side of the ship? Do you think they know about us?

[mickeymo]

I know we tossed around setting a limit for the FE - and I agree with whomever originally asked the question, I hate to limit it! I'm guessing as staterooms are assigned and we get closer we'll have even more join us. But, my suitcase is going to explode!!! Delivering so many gifts will take a while, too! Instead of limiting the list, what if we divide the list?

I've got enough for 40 - and yes, my suitcase is going to explode too. But I've already bought all this stuff, so I don't want to end up with no need for half of it. (There's no way for me to return it at this point!) If we end up with more than 40 - everyone will get different combinations from me, versus the whole little grab bag I was planning.

And I'm sure that those who join late will understand if they don't get ABSOLUTELY everything. (I'm not going to be able to make any new special items for late-comers, for example.) But I'll just add a few extra pieces of candy or something to make up the difference.

It's the thought that counts after all.

It's the DIS QUARANTINE!!!!!!!!!!!

hey, does anyone know if we're on the right side to see Castaway Cay when we pull in?????? Now that we have a balcony, I'd really like to be able to see the island when we come into dock.

Okay, I only made 70 gifts, so hopefully we won't get up to that many LOL!
I vote for not splitting the list. I'd hate to have only have get what I made

When I was researching my room, I read somewhere that my room number was on the oppostie side of Castaway Cay.
