Time to set sail!

Image
Today is the day! After so much planning and anticipating it is finally here...we are setting sail in The Disney Dream for a 3 night Bahamas cruise. I am super excited and will share all of it with you when we return. But for now here is just a little sneaky peak at some of what has happened so far... Checking in was a breeze, we boarded the ship about 20 minutes after arriving at the port terminal. Took a little tour around to get familiar with everything and then hit Cabanas for a delicious buffet lunch. Followed by a tour of the spa and a rest in the stateroom. Which is where I am right now with my feet propped up on the balcony looking out over Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center. Dreamy hugs and sea salty kisses...Your Dixie Pixie <3 data-blogger-escaped-br="br">

I am furiously getting the final touches on all my planning for the big 20th Anniversary Disney Cruise coming up in just 2 more days. Final packing is the next thing. Yesterday I found a cute little app that lets you make a cartoon image of yourself. It's called WeeMee, and I had fun making little cartoon figures of my whole family. Wanta see? OK here they are... Wee Dixie Pixie has on the pink top with short red hair. That would be yours truly. (Robin in real like) Wee Mr Dixie Pixie has glasses and a red shirt. And sexy gray hair just liked DH. U think his Wee is just the cutest thing ever. (his name is Mark) The Wee man with the beard is my nearly grown first born and only son (Spencer). He's in college studying to be a worship minister. I'm so proud of him! And that sweet little blonde Wee is my beautiful baby girl (Scarlet). She's a high school sophomore and competitive dancer. So there you have it...our Wee Family. Luv from my Wee Family to yours...yo...

Fish Extenders on Disney Cruise Line

Since its only 5 days now until our Disney Cruise (yipeeee!), I have been getting all the gifts together for our fish extender exchange. What's a fish extender you ask? Well...let tell you... On each Disney Cruise Line Ship, each stateroom has a fish hanging on the wall outside the door. This is part decoration and part message center. The fish is there for Disney to place important communications to you such as excursion tickets and notes from the Cruise staff. It is like a mailbox for your room. A fish extender (FE) can be made of cloth, plastic or vinyl. It can be very creative or very simple. It can even be a simple bag, just so long as it has a pocket (or a few pockets) for you FE gifts to be placed in. If you are interested in participating in an FE exchange you will want to go to a Disney message board and search for cruise meets. Look for your cruise date and ship name and see if one has been set up. If it has, just login and request to join the FE group. There is ...
