Noel, Have we told you lately ? YOU ARE BRILLIANT, Woman!
Thank you for your kind words!!
Noel, Have we told you lately ? YOU ARE BRILLIANT, Woman!
PHONE TREE.... I like the idea of a phone tree, but........let's have a back-up for it too, like the white board. Not saying everyone does this, but we didn't always stay on top of the phone checking.... In fact, we got so tired of DVC calls on the ebta that we stopped checking messages completely about half way through & put a paper over the blinking red light!!
Family dynamics are always tough that's for sure. Especially since SIL has been living with us for 6 years.
Do we board the ship differently in Barca ... I've always entered where Lumiere's is on my right
One more thing: When I signed up for these I was only vaguely aware of how they worked, and my mom had no idea so she didn't want to commit to anything. So when I listed our cabin I didn't include her. But just so she doesn't feel left out, if anyone from our group(s) has any extra candy or FEs that they want to include her (Phyllis, just turned 78 last week) it would be appreciated (but not expected at this late date). I ordered extra FEs for her, so she won't be completely shut out.
Is anyone else "winging it" in the ports?

On my group (Madeira) I don't have cabin numbers for the following people, so again, please PM me if/when you get it:
JessicasMom
PinkPug
Dgentrysim
Myself again!

My thoughts are to do it in a pdf that can be printed like the following from last years WBTA. Reminder they are large files so may need a minute or so to load

my FE gift is per cabin, so can't really help there, but just added her to my candy swap list so she'll definately get extra from me for that
Wow, that is awesome! One for this year's cruise would be fantastic but we could always print off the spreadsheet on the WBTA 2011 site for people's room numbers
Hope to have the DIS Navigator done by the end of Labor Day weekend which for non USA citizens in September 5th. We will put up a tentative one for corrections etc. prior to that date.
Talking of which as our names (DISboard and real) along with our cabin number are already on the WBTA 2011 Web site, we're OK with having our information on any master list that is created
On the packing front, I have created a spreadsheet for both myself and DH so that we can write down what we will wear on what day. DH has already populated his and knows exactly what is going to be packed. For my part, I'm having a hard time populating it...my mind is full of "what ifs" on the weather front and trying to work out how I'm going to get all of the dresses I'm hoping to take (got to make use of the opportunity to wear them ) without going over my free luggage allowance. Decisions, decisions....
I'm almost afraid to actually start putting things in suitcases, only to find out 3, 4, or 5 won't be enough!! Funny thing is, every cruise I've been on I've packed too much. Yet I continue to take a lot of "what if" and "just in case" wear. Literally should put half back in the closet, shouldn't I?
....
Unbelievably, my MIL loves to sneak up behind me and feel my waist with her hands to see how much weight I've gained or lost. Wait till she sees me after Barcelona's offerings, 2 weeks of Disney dinners, and lots of FAB's! Her expression will be priceless!
did you guys just climb over the railings and stowaway on the ship then? as far as i know the door into the ship is on the starboard side, meaning as you enter, lumiere's is on your left?!
I am the same way but this trip is a true test of my light packing skills since DH says only one suitcase for each of us since he has to handle the bags in London x5 days. As soon as I hit Barcelona I'll buy some tee shirts so I can have some variety. And then there are always bags and more clothes on the ship to purchase
