[Tinkerbell 99 Mom]

Dress Code

The dress code seems to have relaxed a little bit over the last several cruises. Not as many Tuxedos.. more suits... On the semi formal nights not many jackets either..

My DD likes to dress up on the formal nights in costume, princess or otherwise... This year I think Pocohantas....

Our favorite show is the golden mickey's

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

OK...I got something really funny from my co-worker...and I'm not sure how to get the file to post in here...but I so want to share!

Karen

[Mickeyhugger]

Allright the ups guy came through:) It's happy dance for us also:cool1:

Rob

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

Rats...guess I'm one of the few who can't do the doc dance yet. Soon? I hope!

[The LK 4]

Nothing here yet either, but YAY! for those who had a visit from the men in brown! :cool1:

[Daytonamom2]

No doc here either!

What is everyone doing in Cozumel. We do not have anything planned as of yet.
Lynn

[The LK 4]

We are doing the Dolphin Swim Adventure at Chakanaab park, and then spending time there when we are done.

[ICEMANPAD]

We are doing Xcaret in Cozumel and Island Tour/Stingray city combo in Cayman. In Key West...we live in south florida...we are just going to walk around and take our resuable sloppy joe's mugs back for some more frozen rum runners, a house specialty.

We will probably get our docs next week when we return to florida.

The bigger question is will the opening of the terminal be like it was in 2005. The first 5 cars in line across the street waiting to get into the terminal parking lot all contained people wearing Disboards green. We will be there early again as we are driving to the port the night before, and my wife/son will be up before 7 no matter what.

Chuck

I also predict close to 3000 by the time we sail at the current pace.:cool1:

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

We will be one of the 1st cars too! We're staying at Disney World the night before but I'm sure we will be way too excited to sleep late that day!

[Mickeyhugger]

We're arriving on (hopefully the first!) DCL bus.:banana: We want to get to the port early to switch our Palo brunch ressies if we can. Maybe some of us will see each other in our t-shirts.:yay:

Priscilla

[5infam]

Got our Docs too today - and we are all the way out West!!!:cool1:

I think for semi-forma night I am going to skip the jacket and go with a shirt and tie. For formal night, I will put on the suit jacket (I hate packing all of those formal clothes for vacation). I know there are many on these boards that go all out for formal and semi-formal nights, but I wear a suit everyday for work (I am a banker) and I love dressing as casual as possible the rest of the time. I am still trying to figure out what to put the kids in, but my wife is set - she bought new dresses for both nights.

[5infam]

For Key West I bought tickets for the Trolley so we can get on and off if we need to (Disney's excursion does not allow you to get on and off). That is all we have planned except for finding the best Key Lime Pie (any suggestions) - and some Rum Cake.

For Cayman we have rented a private boat for the day for just the 5 of us. If the weather is bad I am going to hate myself because it was not cheap to do, but we wanted to see some things that the regular tours don't do (we get to customize the day).

On Cozumel we are going to do a beach day on our own at Paradise Beach http://paradise-beach-cozumel.com/location.php Hopefully this will be fun.

For Castaway - my DW and DS16 are doing wave runners and then we will hang at the beach.

Anyone have any other suggestions to add to this that are "Do Not Miss" kind of things???

[Mickeyhugger]

Anyone have any other suggestions to add to this that are "Do Not Miss" kind of things???

Are you asking about excursions, or 'do not miss' kinds of things onboard?:)

[5infam]

My original thought was things not to miss in port - but since this is our first time, I am open to any suggestions about on board as well. We newbies rely on the vets for all the good ideas and suggestions.

The banana boat on castaway cay is always fun and cheap:thumbsup2

Rob:cool1:

[Marypoppinsiam]

We also got our cruise docs today!!!:cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

LK4 we are also doing the dolphin encounter at Cozumel.

[Marypoppinsiam]

Best key lime pie in KW has to be at the Blond Giraffe. I just had it last month and I am looking very forward to it soon.:thumbsup2

Did you guys decide where we are having the DIS meet?:confused3

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

OK call us boring, but we're likely gonna go to Margaritaville for a bit of lunch in Key West and then walk to the "Life is Good" t-shirt shop and also go to the Truman Little White House (gotta go...Harry's from MO). We spent a week in Key West over the 4th of July 2006 and we didn't get to the Truman Little White House.

Cayman, we've booked a convertible and we're driving to Rum Point...we were there 2 years ago and LOVED it!

Cozumel...we've been there quite a few times so we're planning just to hit our favorite t-shirt shop (need gifts for the nieces and nephews) and then spend the rest of the day on the Boat.

As for Cataway Cay...no clue!

By the way....anyone with "don't miss" items on the Boat, please let us newbies know what they are...it's not that I'm afraid I'm gonna miss anything....it's just that I don't know what I don't know.

Karen

[The LK 4]

LK4 we are also doing the dolphin encounter at Cozumel.

Did you reserve it through DCL or by yourself? We reserved it on our own so we could do the Dolphin Swim Adventure. I think our time is at 1 pm. :)

I did the Art of the Theme ship tour in January on the Wonder, and I really enjoyed it. We are also looking forward to doing the Mickey 200 vegetable race! Logan is in Boy Scouts now, so this is the closest we can get to the Pinewood Derby. :rotfl:

[MelindaMac]

Awesome! It seems UPS came through for many of you before the weekend. Let's all do the Doc Happy Dance. :dance3: Man, I leave the boards for 12 hours and what, maybe 50 new posts. I think we'll have no problem reaching 2500! :surfweb:

Speaking of hangers mentioned earlier back, do we really need extra hangers since we are taking more hanging type clothing for dinner. You know, we usually fight over dwarer space not closet space when we're on vacaion.

Melinda

[MelindaMac]

I want to do the Galley Tour. Has anyone done that before?

In Key West, isn't there some kind of Key lime pie on a stick? What is this?Just a slice on a stick ? :) I love anything with lime. And who actually has the best margaritas in the Keys?

We did the galley tour and it was great. You would not believe the quantity of certain items that they store on board. Not to spoil it but I had never seen that much expensive caviar in one place( it would have made a few months mortgage payment on the house) We are going to do it again this trip.

Rob

[Momof1+2]

I have been lurking here for a month:surfweb: but just registered. My amazing in-laws are taking our family on our first cruise. (For us, not them, although even they are new to Disney.) I doubt I will have the time to do the fish extenders but I am planning on making signs for our door. There are 11 of us in 5 cabins. My husband, me, and our 3 kids are in 2071/2073. My bil/sil/neice and nephew are just down the hall, and my in-laws are all the way aft. We are very excited! We took our kids and three grandparents to WDW for a week last November and never dreamed we would be going on a cruise a year later. Hopefully our kids will cross paths in the kids club with other DIS kids. We have a 6 year old, 3 year old twins, plus neice 7 and nephew 8. (DO people post their kids names?) Anyway, hope this is a "good" intro.:thumbsup2

[The LK 4]

Welcome aboard! I'll add you to the "who's cruising" list and post it later!

[Marypoppinsiam]

[QUOTE=The LK 4;21492301]Did you reserve it through DCL or by yourself? We reserved it on our own so we could do the Dolphin Swim Adventure. I think our time is at 1 pm. :)

No we went ahead and booked with DCL, just because last month when I was there in Cozumel it rained buckets and if you didn't book it through Royal Caribbean you wouldn't get a refund (so lets just say our friends were out about $300). So being cautious I went a head and booked through DCL. It would have been cheaper if we would have booked it on our own. Our excursion starts at 10am. We are just doing the Encounter due to Ryan only being 7 at the time of cruising. I would really liked to do the Royal Swim, but that will have to wait for another time.

[Mickeyhugger]

Welcome aboard!:wave2:

Are you scheduled for early or late dining?

I think you're going to LOVE your first cruise, (mainly because it's Disney.) Our family's first cruise was on the Magic five years ago, and we've been hooked ever since. Other cruise lines just don't compare.

Priscilla

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

Hi Momof1+2...welcome! Glad to see that you're not a "lurker" anymore. Wish I had in-laws like yours! A bunch of us are newbies to Disney Cruises...but we are fortunate to be guided by others who are...shall we say...slightly addicted. My poor husband (we've been calling him Goofy...which you'll see why by my signature line) doesn't know that there is no cure to this (ahem) horrible affliction! Fortunately he is already a Disney-addict and now, I fear I will turn him into a DCL addict! :cool1:

Anyway, we are glad to have you and there are a lot of kids. I don't think any of us have formally posted our children's names, but we are planning to meet the 1st day on Deck 10 (I think...sorry, but I don't have my notes with me)...you'll be able to find us...just look for about 50 lime green t-shirts!

Karen

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

Hey...who has the question of the day today?

Karen

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

DaytonaMom,

Your order included an "XS"....I need to clarify ASAP...does this mean you need a Youth Xtra Small (which is a 2T/3T) or an adult XS? If it is an adult XS, I can't get it...I could either get a Youth XL or an Adult Small.

Thanks!

Karen

[ICEMANPAD]

For key lime pie..we agree w/the prior answer..the blond giraffe...key lime pie dipped in chocolate...for the newbies...just relax and go w/the flow...try to do it all and drive yourself into the ground...just remember, disneyplans more than any of us can do in a day.

Chuck:cool1:

[Daytonamom2]

Hi Karen
Nikki is 11 and wears an xs in stores like Hollister or like a 12 in Limited Too. I don't know how to translate into the Tee Shirt size maybe you can help me guess. Thanks Lynn

[Daytonamom2]

Hi Momof1+2. We are down in cabin 2644 is that near your inlaws. Glad you are coming along. We just jumped on a few weeks ago. Lynn

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

Lynn,

I'm gonna go with a Youth XL...that should do it.

Karen

[Daytonamom2]

Thanks Karen Just let me know how much money to send you!

Do you think the movie Enchanted will be playing in the big theater on wednesday since that is the day it comes out at home? The movie looks cute. I know they sometimes replace the show with a movie.

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

I've been lurking on other threads about movies and it seems like they show whatever is showing at the theaters at home...so if Enchanted comes out at home...it should premiere on the boat too. Hmm....someone had a number posted that you could call about a week out. Let me see if I can find that and then maybe we'll know for sure.

Unfortunately, I don't know if DS will want to see it...it may be "yuck...princesses!"

OK...now back to :laundy: ...why is it that I never get it done?

Karen

[Daytonamom2]

Hi We just got our cruise Docs!!!!!!

I just want to get Halloween over with then I can get busy with getting stuff together.

Do we have a count on the fish extender people I need to make sure I have enough stuff.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend! Just Rain Rain Rain down here in sunny Florida and the weather guy keeps talking about something in the tropics starting to get organized. I don't even want to know. That's why we had to cancel a few years ago because a huricane hit the house and we could not leave the house until it got fixed. But I am thinking happy thoughts. Lynn

[Mickeyhugger]

Three weeks from right now we will be eating diner on the Magic:banana:


Rob:cool1:

[5infam]

Fish Extender Questions - I was thinking of enlisting my DW to make one of these for the cruise. However, I am curious how it works for putting things in people FE's. Is it everyday we put something in...is it once during the cruise...what do you put in them???? If someone can fill me in on how this works, I think we may want to participate.

Thanks!!!:)

[Momof1+2]

Thanks for the warm welcome! We have the late dinner seating. Since we are a big group I don't know if we have a chance of moving it up. Some nights I know the kids want to eat in the clubs becaue the activities start before we eat.

Questions:

1. Is the connecting door one or two (like in hotels). What do we need to keep it open? (A doorstop, bungie cord, the duct tape everyone talks about:rotfl: )

2. Ok, brain cramp, I know I have more but can't think of them.

Erin

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

Don't have a clue how the fish extender thing works myself (since this is my 1st cruise on DCL)...I was thinking that I would just kinda make it up as I go (or as I see them around the ship).

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Karen

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

Still no cruise docs!:upsidedow

They've just gotta come on Monday...right?

Karen

[MelindaMac]

Momof1+2, Welcome aboard! pirate: This is our first cruise,too. My kids are a little older, DD12 and DD9. But still as you can tell by reading this thread, age doesn't matter when cruising DISNEY!!:yay:
Melinda

[Tinkerbell 99 Mom]

Erin:

Welcome aboard... It is going to be a great week.

I think over the next weeks everyone will be posted great tips for the cruise.

welcome Momof1+2 Erin you came to the right place, being new to the disney cruise i have learned that with all the dcl vets on the boards they are more then helpful
gina

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

I've tried to cut and paste it but it won't let me. Laura, I've got your e-mail...I'll send it to you later.

[The LK 4]

Laura-

Our DS, Mason, is 8, not 9. Thanks!! :thumbsup2

Lisa

I changed it - thanks for letting me know! :)

[macbasset]

We don't have our docs yet as our TA (my niece) is on a wonder cruise this week. Hopefully, when she returns, we'll be doing the dance!

I have a question about internet service on the Magic. We've done DCL cruises 6 or 7 times and have used the internet cafe on the ship, but we were wondering about wi fi availability on the ship. Can you use a laptop to email and be either in your cabin or somewhere else? Anyone know the cost? We are leaving our son at home as he has classes that week and wanted to keep in touch with him.

Thanks for your help.

[5infam]

Hi Laura,

We are in connecting rooms 7505 and 7507. Here are our names if you need them:
DH - Frank (that's me)
DW - Tran (pronounced like Chun)
DS16 - Anthony
DS8 - Michael
DD5 - Gabriella

4 of us ordered the T-Shirts, but my DS16 said he was not going to wear lime green (teenagers:confused3 ).Also, I talked my DW into making a Fish Extender, so I am not sure who is running that here, but we want to be included. I still need help on how this works, what we should bring, etc.?

[The LK 4]

Frank, I've updated my list with your info.

As far as the fish extenders, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to participate. You can leave items once, twice, or every day - it's really up to you.

[5infam]

Thanks Laura. Wasn't someone keeping a list of Fish People?? Just need to know how much stuff to buy.

[The LK 4]

I had started a list for the Fish Extenders, but I haven't updated it lately. I'll get to that tomorrow.

Karen - what's the latest with the shirts? Should we be sending a check/payment soon?

[pooh mommy]

Karen tooo funny thanks for sending the video my fav was the little baby after he was christened ha ha

[pooh mommy]

Favorite food fillet at Palo,Dessert anything from Palo Drink any COLD domestic beer :thumbsup2

Rob

[pooh mommy]

oh cool have you tried any of the drinks of the day ?? i think im going to have at least 1 each day so i can say i tried them ha ha ha

[pooh mommy]

last night i went food shopping and they now sell mickey mouse ravoil i was thrilled i told my daughter ( 15 year old she just looks at me like im nuts it must be the teenager daze ) im going to make them this weekend i figured they all should get used to eating things that are shaped like mickey mouse

[pooh mommy]

thanks Laura for the new list i keep printing the new one out and tossing the old one out. i think im going to wait till a few days before we sail and print that one. to make sure i have the most updated one.............................. im so excited so many of us are doing the fish extenders the more people (rooms) the more fun. once halloween is over its all cruise thinking here ha ha who am i kidding im already at the point of all cruise thinking

I would have to say my favorite dessert is the chocolate souffle at Palos. But I also love the stollen bread with strawberries and whip cream. Oh just thinking about it makes me so hungry. I have tried all the drinks of the day, but I will have to say that none of them beats a good strawberry maragarita. The Konk Kooler is good on CC and you get a neat cup to keep. If anyone loves strawberry margaritas then you MUST stop by the Flying Monkey Bar on Duval street in Key West. They are the best I have ever had!

Gee it is getting soooo close!

[pooh mommy]

i have heard about all these cakes, pies and so forth no one has said anything about cheese cake, if you didnt guess that is my fav.. ha ha

[pooh mommy]

i have know from being at wdw that coke is the soda of choice is that the same on the boat im going to have to pack a 24 pack or 2 if they dont have pepsi

[pooh mommy]

can you buy unlimited internet time i know there were set amounts you could buy but i thought i had read in the passporter book that you could get unlimited if that is true do you have any idea how much that is ???
i had read somewhere (who knows where) that you can get the internet in your rooms and in certain places on the boat ??

[ICEMANPAD]

A few responses -

internet - unlimited or by the minute in internet cafe/ deck 9 cafe or by the minute i believe at certain wi-fi spots on your own computer - no unlimited so far that i have heard on own computer - and i will have mine too

dessert - anything at the Palo brunch - or the chocolate soufle at palo dinner - you need to give them 30 minutes notice if you want that dessert - Lisa loves it

dont bring coke - the 9th deck dispensing station has plenty for free - disney uses coke products

if anything, bring water - we bring a case or so in a rolling cooler that i lug onboard - it is one of the soft-sided coolers on wheels that has a handle like a suitcase on wheels and resembles a suitcase (sort of).

The single most indispensible item we have probably seen over the years on these threads is the over-the-door shoe holder - which we put over the bathroom door to hold all sorts of miscellaneous toiletries, sunscreen etc - second would be the collapsible hamper.

And again - we now have 11 reservations linked for dinner - 2nd seating

Chuck:cool1:

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

T-shirts are underway. They're being shipped to me and I should get them on the 10th :eek: (apparently, lime green shirts are hard to get...who knew!) which leaves precious little time to get them to you all.

One thing occurred to me...I know who you all are...or your screen names...but I don't know addresses!:lmao: So, I don't know how to get shirts to you!

One option is to just bring them on the boat and give them out the 1st day (I can prewash them all so they aren't so stiff and smelly) or I can priority mail them to you. Any thoughts?

Chris is getting the total to me by Tuesday and then I'll be able to tell you the costs.

Thanks,

T-shirts are underway. They're being shipped to me and I should get them on the 10th :eek: (apparently, lime green shirts are hard to get...who knew!) which leaves precious little time to get them to you all.

It would be nice to have them before we get on the boat. How about we PM you with our addresses? and you send them out USPO priority mail its like $5.10. You can get the priority mailing bags from the post office for free. It will be cutting it close.:scared:

:banana: I got my cruise docs just now!!! :banana:
wooooooooooooo hoooooooooooo laura do that DOC DANCE lol

[pooh mommy]

A few responses -

internet - unlimited or by the minute in internet cafe/ deck 9 cafe or by the minute i believe at certain wi-fi spots on your own computer - no unlimited so far that i have heard on own computer - and i will have mine too

dessert - anything at the Palo brunch - or the chocolate soufle at palo dinner - you need to give them 30 minutes notice if you want that dessert - Lisa loves it

dont bring coke - the 9th deck dispensing station has plenty for free - disney uses coke products

if anything, bring water - we bring a case or so in a rolling cooler that i lug onboard - it is one of the soft-sided coolers on wheels that has a handle like a suitcase on wheels and resembles a suitcase (sort of).

The single most indispensible item we have probably seen over the years on these threads is the over-the-door shoe holder - which we put over the bathroom door to hold all sorts of miscellaneous toiletries, sunscreen etc - second would be the collapsible hamper.

And again - we now have 11 reservations linked for dinner - 2nd seating

Chuck:cool1:
chuck your laptop worked in your room as well or just in certain areas ???

[pooh mommy]

Karen ( aka) the tee shirt lady ) ha ha ha which ever way you want to do it is fine with me and family you can send the shirts priority mail and we would get them in 3 days at the most and we can send you the check the same way either way let me know i can give you my address if that is what you decided

Gina

[pooh mommy]

im going to look now for a rolling cooler bag i was going to actually use a duffel bag but i like to rolling cooler bag better thanks

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

For those that want them shipped, PM me with your address and I'll send you a reply so you know I have your address. I'm sorry it's cutting things so close. I think Chris and I failed to think about the shipping time to me from Orlando...but since he had the artwork.... Anyone that wants me to bring them to the ship, I can certainly do that (and can give you my cell number so you can find me...goodness knows I'll likely be gawking like a little child and won't have a clue how to navigate the ship for a day or two!)...I'll even offer to prewash them for you so they aren't stiff or smelly.

Either way, just send me a PM so I know what I'm doing...or can at least seem like I do!

[ICEMANPAD]

Clarification - the internet for personal laptops is relatively new - I have not had mine in the past - just this year...but i believe the unlimited does not apply to our own laptops...as for reception, what i have heard keeps changing so we shall see...

i just looked at the calendar and the 10 is actually a saturday which is great the issue i think we may have is that veterens day is actually sunday the 11 but with it being considered a federal holiday it will be celebrated on monday which means no mail on monday the 12 so if you were to mail them on the 12 tuesday im not too sure we would get them in time.. i know we are leaving here thursday the 15 which is not going to be enough time to get them here so i guess let me know what i owe you and ill met you on the ship i just dont think there will be time to get them here even with faster shipping
if that is ok with you let me know i just figured i would put the dates to everything and once i did i really didnt think it would work
gina

[ICEMANPAD]

OK - i sent the PM w/the address, Karen.

Oh and by the way, since someone had to do it, I went ahead and started the actual cruise report thread a bit early...LOL. It will be easy to spot if you check the trip reports headpage.

Btw , our cooler on wheels is from a company called California Innovations - the A.T. cart is the model we have - I just checked online and the company seems to have stuff available at Target and Amazon...we got ours at Costco.

Chuck:cool1:

[seaulater]

OH YES!

And yes, I believe you're eligible for a discount for each stateroom provided the person whose name is on the reservation is a Castaway Club member. (Every adult who sails DCL is automatically a member after their first sailing.) Rob and I each have our own number, so if we wanted to book two staterooms for the future, we should each get a 10% for each room. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong?):confused3 Also, you get a 200.00 (or is it 250.00?) on-board credit for the next booking. We had friends who didn't rebook while on-board it it was their BIGGEST regret. Of course, you can ALWAYS change the date and still retain the discount and credit for another booking. Just don't cancel it!:sad2:

Priscilla

Just got off the ship, I was not limited as to the number of cruises and/or booking discounts I could receive. I booked 4 different reservations.

The deal was 10% off and $200 OBC for a 7 day cruise.

Holiday Celebrations Planned

Thanksgiving: Cruise guests sailing on Thanksgiving Day will be treated to a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. "Pilgrim" Mickey and Minnie will make appearances

Christmas: Starting in late November, the Disney terminal and cruise ships will be decked out in holiday finery. The ship's atrium will feature a three story tall tree and you can expect to find "Santa Goofy" onboard. Castaway Cay will have falling 'snow', Christmas trees, tropical Snowmen, Carolers and the trams will have a fun reindeer theme.


While we were on the ship after all the guests disembarked the Wonder last Thursday, we watched as they put up all the window decorations for Christmas at Mickey's Mates and Treasure Katch. I took pictures of the whole set up and take down. They are adorable. There is a Pirates of the Caribbean Christmas tree set up in the store, that I am just dying to have with the most adorable ornaments (all pirate themed). Just wish they were selling them. The CM's said they were getting ready to do the Magic too! Can't wait to see what they do on the ship.

[seaulater]

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

As far as Pirate night goes, I don't recall seeing lots of people dressed up as pirates, but I think it looks awesome! My group will more than likely be dressed with Pittsburgh Pirates gear, since that's where we are from. (And they are also my employer. :teeth:)

Here is a group photo I arranged from Shutters for Pirate Night with our disboard group on one of our cruises:

[seaulater]

can you buy unlimited internet time i know there were set amounts you could buy but i thought i had read in the passporter book that you could get unlimited if that is true do you have any idea how much that is ???
i had read somewhere (who knows where) that you can get the internet in your rooms and in certain places on the boat ??


Unlimited Internet Access no longer is available. You can only buy packages of time allotments!

I've got the list of prices somewhere home in my luggage. I'll see if I can locate in the mess on my bedroom floor from unpacking last night and post after I get home from work

[seaulater]

Wow, finally caught up on all the posts since I haven't been on since the 19th.

I must say, the DVC members cruise on the Wonder and the B2B we did was awesome! Great entertainment, great Disney Legends, great shows, etc., etc.

Since those were my 13th and 14th Disney cruises, you would think I would get tired of them. NOT! Can't wait to get back on the ship on the 17th for another week of Magic.

Like I posted above, Jamie's best friend, McKenna will be joining us. We will all participate in the fish extender exchange. On the last cruise, we hung our fish extender and received gifts everyday. There were no set rules. We got group gifts (one per stateroom) and one for each person in our stateroom for some things, so it was all over the place. We got all kinds of gifts including hot sauce that one of our fellow cruisers brought from her hometown that she thought everyone would love! I did get the bottle home okay, and it didn't get broken. Now, I need to try it out.

The weather was wonderful at Castaway Cay all three times last week. On Tuesday, (sea day) Captain John positioned the ship just perfectly and while watching the space shuttle launch on the ariel vision screen, as soon as it took off, we looked northwest and there, through the perfect blue sky was the shuttle making its' way to space! We got some great pictures.

Now I am at work, getting ready for an audit next week, then leave for California a week from Sat. for business, come back on Tuesday the 13th and then leave Friday the 16th for Florida! I am going to try to hardly even unpack. I'm going to wash the clothes and just repack them!

FYI-the cost for ironing my formal dress once I got on the ship last week was a mere $4.00. Well worth having housekeeping do and not do myself. I sent out the day we got on the ship and had it back the next day by 4:30 p.m.

Okay, I'm caught up on reading and I'll attempt to check in everyday between now and the cruise!

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

Hi everyone,

We are starting to laminate all of our door signs this evening. I did a bunch of cruise shopping this afternoon, trying to get things crossed off of my list.

Our school district is involved in an increasingly ugly strike right now. The teachers went on strike Oct 15th. By law, they have to go back on Nov. 16, just in time for us to pull the kids out for the cruise. :(

Originally, they should have only missed two days due to the Thanksgiving holiday, but now they are taking all of the days off away from us, so my kids will end up missing 5 days. There's nothing I can do about it, but I'm not very happy with the school board or the teacher's union for dragging this out.

[Daytonamom2]

Does that mean your kids will be out of school for a month? We have had make up days for storms take away vacation days but never teacher strike.

The weather here stinks. I feel sorry for anyone that is on the boat right now.

The kids could be out of school just under five weeks. They'll probably spend Thanksgiving week reviewing the first six weeks of school, so my two probably won't miss much "new" material.

If the strike still isn't settled, they could go out again in the spring for two more weeks before they have to return again. I'm hearing horror stories of this scenario going on for another year or two, but I'm trying to remain optimistic. :wizard:

Laminating is done, pumpkin is carved, seeds are baking in the oven.....time for Dancing With the Stars. :)

Hi all

This is from Sandy:

Karen -- this is Sandy again (the poor sole who is locked out of the disney boards). My address for mailing the t-shirts is.... Please let me know how much the cost is, and I will send you a check or whatever form of payment you want.

Also, a favor -- would you ask the boards that my family's cabin (5624) be added to the "fish extender" list?

Thanks so much for your help.

Sandy

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

Hi everyone,

Do you all mind just sending me checks instead of doing the paypal thing....or, if you don't want to send a check, just give me cash on the boat...it seems so much easier for this stressed out :eek: mom to figure out right now!

Between extended family stuff, my out of town travel, son's Halloween costume, carving pumpkins etc...I haven't even begun to pack and right now don't know when that will happen.

Thanks all...totals coming soon.

Karen

[The LK 4]

Sandy - I've added you to the FE list. :)

Karen - will you PM us your address so we can mail our checks ASAP? I can't wait to see the shirts!!!

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

I still need to send a PM to DebbieFuCo and LeMasters...but I'm out of energy tonight...only got about 3 hours sleep last night and I need more than that!

Anyway, if you want to send me a PM, I'll send you your totals or I'll find you on the boards and PM you.

Cost per shirt was $8.72 for adults and $7.72 for kids...all in all not too bad!

Thanks everyone...now I sleep! :thumbsup2

How many personal injury attorneys does it take to change a light bulb?

Plan 3 - 250 minutes $75.00
Plan 4 - $0.75 per minute

The internet connection is known to be SLOOOWWWWW, so 50 minutes is gone in no time at all.

Also, I have never used the wireless connection on board, but the information they give you says:

"ACCESS POINT LOCATIONS"

"Guests with wireless-ready laptops will find several wireless "hot spots" throughout the ship, including most public areas, guests staterooms and all open areas on Decks 9 and 10."

I know my friends that had a wireless connection on deck 2 had trouble getting their wireless connection to work at times, but if she walked out into the hallway, it worked. Hopefully, they have improved since she had this problem awhile ago.

Hope the information helps!

MINI NAVIGATORS?

Okay, everyone, just wanted to pose a question. Generally on all the cruises I go on I do a mini-navigator for those on the cruise from the disboards so in one handy dandy mini-guide it has everyone's staterooms, which staterooms are participating in the fish extender gift exchange and any other pertinent information someone might want to include (i.e. time and date for group photo, disboard meeting place for sailaway)

So, if you guys would like me to compile all the information into one place and each stateroom receives one, I don't mind doing at all.

Let me know your thoughts, and if so, I'll have those that are keeping lists send them over to me.

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

Hi Everyone.

Wow, I feel much better today...it's amazing what 7 full hours of sleep can do for a person!

Thanks for all the PMs and nice notes. It was a lot of fun coordinating the t-shirts and getting to know everyone better. I'll let you know when I get them and we'll get them turned around ASAP!

Chris and Penny, I'll get your total out to you later today. Sorry, but I have 6 grants due before Friday :scared1: !

Glad you got some sleep cant have our tee shirt lady sleep walking to the post office ha ha ha

[seaulater]

LINDA HERE IS the list that i also found i hope these help

Great! Add us to the list also. My DH has decided that he can't take off this pipeline work that he is doing, so it will be Jamie (15), her best friend McKenna (15) and me, Linda (I forgot my age:rotfl: )

Speaking of the fish extenders. I have more fun walking the halls to see everyone's fish extenders on the cruises I am on.

Last week, I laughed so hard because I saw the most adorable fish extender I have seen. I am going to try to "steal" the idea and hang it at my door for the Thanksgiving cruise, so I am not going to say right now what it is, but hopefully, I can find what I am looking for here in Salt Lake to copy their idea.

In the Mini-Navigator, those participating in the fish extender exchange will have a picture of Nemo next to their name!

I'll try to keep up with the thread to add more names. I will be happy to add up until the time I print the mini-navigators, and that will probably be on Thursday, November 15th. I try to wait until the last minute in case of any last minute changes.

[pooh mommy]

IF YOU NEED FISH EXTENDERS I TALKED TO ROSA HERE IS WHAT SHE SAID

hi gina, The only thing I could tell you is to tell them to go on ebay and type my id# rosa3011 and there they could see all the things that I am selling.

she shipped them to me right away i just figured in case you needed them

[The LK 4]

Linda - the mini-navigator sounds like a wonderful idea! :thumbsup2

I've been keeping a running list of those of us on the cruise, as well as those participating with the fish extenders. I'll keep adding to the list, and I'll post a last minute one for you right before we go.

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

Linda,

Thanks for offering to do mini-navigators. What a wonderful idea (especially for us newbies!).

Sounds great! Thanks! Does your list include board name, real names, and stateroom number? That's usually what I put on the list. Just let me know so I can have it all formatted and ready to go before you send. If you have an excel or word file, that works to and I can give you an email address to send directly to.

Question again!

I am new to posting on the DIS boards but not message boards. At what point will it let me post pictures and send PM. It keeps telling me my post count is too low.

I would like to send my information for the mini navagators but don't want to do it publicly.

Erin

[Momof1+2]

Next Question:

I am sending separate posts to up my count:rotfl: .

My DD is 6 and has been trying to get her friends to send email with her, but none of them are into it yet. So I thought this might be a good opportunity for her to make a "penpal" that she can meet in person on the boat. She is 6 1/2, in first grade, big sister to twin brothers, and loves using her imaginationprincess: . Does anyone here have a DD in the 6-7 age range that would be interested?

Erin

[MelindaMac]

The kids could be out of school just under five weeks. They'll probably spend Thanksgiving week reviewing the first six weeks of school, so my two probably won't miss much "new" material.

If the strike still isn't settled, they could go out again in the spring for two more weeks before they have to return again. I'm hearing horror stories of this scenario going on for another year or two, but I'm trying to remain optimistic. :wizard:

Laminating is done, pumpkin is carved, seeds are baking in the oven.....time for Dancing With the Stars. :)

We carved our pumpkins yesterday (Monday), too, and wouldn't miss Dancing with the Stars. popcorn:: Can you believe Sabrina got voted off tonight? She was so good. :confused3

Done! I've got you added.

We have received so many different things in our fish extenders, but here is a little rundown of different items:

pirate eye patches
mardi gras necklaces
glow in the dark bracelets
notepads
pencils
personalized M & M's
rubber duckies
candy
chocolate
little journals
magnets
hot sauce!
bookmarks

Alot of people will get something in bulk like from Oriental Trading Company on line or at their local party store. There are really no restrictions or minimums or anything, it is just whatever your family would like to share.

Alot of families will also put a label on their stuff with their disboard name and family name so the receiver knows where it came from. Others do it without leaving their names.

Also, you might want to bring one of those zip tie thingies. You can run it around the top of your fish extender and then actually attach it to the fish mounted on the wall. That way the fish extender won't swim away. I've never had a problem with mine, but teens have been known to move it to another door down the hallway as a joke.

:hippie:

Generally, once everyone is on the ship, if you want to post "Live from the Magic" you then post on that thread to tell people in the outside world what is happening on the ship. There used to be alot more active "live" threads until DCL did away with the unlimited internet package. I guess we just posted way too much on the May 2005 Panama Canal Cruise, so they took unlimited away shortly after that. In addition, many people were sharing their unlimited package, and 3 or 4 people would use the same log in and pay for only one unlimited, so DCL figured that in order to make more $$$ you would pay by the minute.

I only posted from Nassau on my last cruise because when we got off the ship there was an internet cafe where you could use the internet for free! (well, as long as you filled out an information form for them cuz they will send you materials in the future to buy into a timeshare in Nassau. Just put down your incorrect mailing address if you don't want to get any stuff from them!)

I am new to posting on the DIS boards but not message boards. At what point will it let me post pictures and send PM. It keeps telling me my post count is too low.

I would like to send my information for the mini navagators but don't want to do it publicly.

Erin

Erin:

I've sent you a PM. If you look at the top right hand corner of your screen, it should say Private Messages. Click on that link and it will take you to your private messages. See if you can reply to what I sent you. I would think your PM's should be available now.

On pictures, I'm not sure how long you have to wait to post one, but if you have the mountain on the list after the BOLD, ITALICS, UNDERLINE, so on and so forth, you should be able to click on the mountain (2nd from end) and then it will bring up the link so you can paste it in. I used photobucket to link my pictures in.

[pooh mommy]

thanks linda as you can see i really was not too sure what it was see like i said before being a bit new to this sometimes is confusing but its ok by the 2 cruise ill be a bit more wet behind the ears ha ha ha

[The LK 4]

I'm heading out to the dollar store and/or Party City to see if I can find bubbles for the sail away party for our Turkeys!

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

:sad2: Still no docs here. Definitely feeling like an Eyeore today...a bit droopy and a bit glum.

2 grants down...4 to go by Friday and then I can get all caught up. By the way, I heard from Andrew (from the last Turkey Cruise) he's gonna post the jpg file of the t-shirt design for me (since I'm an idiot and can't figure out how!).

Erin
PS: Do we have any formal meets set up? Also, are we the only ones stuck with late seating? Will they show the pirate movie during late seating or after. If so, how late is the party/fireworks. I hope my kids can stay up that long.

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

I remember something about meeting on Deck 10 but I'm not sure if that is before or after the Muster Drill (you know, the thing that the Coast Guard requires us to do where we all gather at a specified location with our life jackets on so we know what to do in an emergency...).

So, Deck 10, what time?

You are definitely NOT the only family with late seating. (11 families as of now have requested to all have the same dining rotation and be seated in the same area of the dining rooms. I can't remember if I suggested, but if you'd like to join in on the request, PM to Chuck (ICEMANPAD) or me with your confirmation number and name on the reservation and one of us will add your family and names to the link.

I think everyone here has pretty much agreed upon (right?:confused3 ) meeting upon deck 10 right before the sailaway party wearing our t-shirts.:) Then we'll (hopefully) all see each other again at dinner that night.:)

Hello Turkeys!

Just dropping by to say hello. I was one of the Turkeys on the 2005 Magic, and was hoping to cruise with all of you this year, but we won't be joining you :(

Anyway, congratulations to you all on the activity on this thread. I am sure that you will make it to 3000!

Good job Priscilla and Rob, and Chuck and Lisa! Chuck and Lisa, you are almost in second place, get going !!!

Also, Karen/Pixie Dust for Me asked for help posting this year's t-shirt logo. I wanted to see it (I was thinking about a copyright suit), so I asked her to e-mail it to me, and here it is!:

Hi Andrew,

If you decide to initiate that suit, I think I can scare up a lawyer or 100 who will defend me and say there is no copyright issue (plagarism yes, but no copyright!).

Thanks for your help. You'll have to share with me how you did that.

Hope to see you as part of the Turkey Gang in '08.

wow i love it

Thanks for the responses! I have figured out that I can not initiate PM but I can reply to them! SO that is something.

Erin
PS: Do we have any formal meets set up? Also, are we the only ones stuck with late seating? Will they show the pirate movie during late seating or after. If so, how late is the party/fireworks. I hope my kids can stay up that long.
we have the late seating as well

Actually, I like your design better- maybe I will copy it in 2008!

Pixie Dust bows humbly and shares compliments with Chris and Andrew!

I really liked the shirt too which is why I tracked down the design.

Karen

[pooh mommy]

:sad2: Still no docs here. Definitely feeling like an Eyeore today...a bit droopy and a bit glum.

2 grants down...4 to go by Friday and then I can get all caught up. By the way, I heard from Andrew (from the last Turkey Cruise) he's gonna post the jpg file of the t-shirt design for me (since I'm an idiot and can't figure out how!).

Karen
im going to do the i hope you get your doc dance today so you get them

Erin:

Most of us actually requested late seating.. We enjoy not having to rush so much. Many of us have our reservations link together at the late seating.

The late seating has always worked great for our family.

Hey there Andrew

Thanks for hooking us up on the tee shirts I don't think it would have happened if other wise.

Priscilla wants to re book for next year, so we will put it down for Turkey day but we are also interested in the week after Christmas day, so how knows.

Btw we have been looking for places to have a second home to retire at in Florida any sugestions it needs to be near the water. We thought about Marco Island. Shoot us a PM and give us your ideas

Rob:cool1:

[Tinkerbell 99 Mom]

Spoke to a friend... She said that the DCL had experienced problems with other guests taking down door decorations and signs on recent cruises ... No one touched their decorations.. ( We have never experienced any theft)

Has anyone had problems?

Wendy

[ICEMANPAD]

To whomever asked, I have about 11 reservations linked for late seating in what will probably be the APL rotation...if anyone else wants to join, please PM me or email me at icelaw21@aol.com

And Andrew, as one atty to another, doesn't something have to actually be copyrighted first for there to be an infringement?

Lisa has purchased her fish extender from ebay.

And Judge Huck did me a huge favor today by agreeing to let me start trial on December 3rd, rather than on November 26th as scheduled...and we are talking a multi-day federal jury trial on complex labor issues.

So now i can probably leave the 15 or so deposition transcripts home, although they will be in my laptop memory anyway i suspect.

Chuck:cool1:

[The LK 4]

Wendy, we have only decorated our door once - on our three night cruise this past January. We did not have any problems, but I have heard about problems before.

I'm planning on securing our fish extender with the wire ties, and have tried to personalize most of our door signs.

Chuck - I'm glad that your trial is delayed.

[seaulater]

Do we have any formal meets set up? Also, are we the only ones stuck with late seating? Will they show the pirate movie during late seating or after. If so, how late is the party/fireworks. I hope my kids can stay up that long.

For the mini navigator, I made a note that we are having a meet at 4 p.m., deck 10, midship, above the Goofy pool on the side of the ship closest to the DCL terminal. Sailaway starts about 4:30 so that will give you 30 minutes on deck 10 and for those with kids that want to be down with all the craziness on deck 9 for the sailaway party, you can move down to deck 9.

Pirates of the Carribean is generally shown on the big Dumbotron or Arielvision (depending what ship you are on) at midship, deck 9 at 11 p.m. following the Pirates Party on deck. The party is the exact same place as sailaway. Having late dinner will not affect you missing the fireworks. The navigator that DCL uses will say 9:45 p.m., but here's the real deal-the dancing and stuff start at 9:45 p.m. In my honest opinion it drags on way too long, because all the little kids start falling asleep the actual fireworks start between 10:25 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. (give or take a minute or two). I can tell you that the fireworks last 3 minutes and 21 seconds because I have video taped them numerous times. I have skipped all the pre-firework stuff before and got out just in time for the fireworks. Also, don't forget there is a huge buffet on deck 9 right after the fireworks with strawberry crepes, nachos, tacos, turkey drumsticks (you know the big ones you get at WDW) and desserts and more food that really none of us need to eat, but we do anyway!

Okay, sorry to be so detailed, but I'm in accounting, so now you know why!

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

Andrew,

I saw no copyright symbol or trademark symbol either so the design was fair game!;) Besides, :idea: I added the tag "Turkeys on the Magic" which I hereby give you a release to add to the '08 shirts :thumbsup2 !

Hey, thanks again for the great design and steering me toward Chris...they were wonderful to work with.

Karen

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

Still no doc dance....maybe tomorrow!

[Momof1+2]

I appreciate the details, exactly what I was hoping for, it helps me anticapate the kids endurance. Also I can save some room for the midnight buffet!:rolleyes1

i read somewhere that you should put your names on the door decoratios that way no one else would want them

[Marypoppinsiam]

Ok I know I am behind on everything. I just can't seem to keep up. So tell me more about these fish extenders and where you find them. I guess this is new to me, because on our last DCL cruise we didn't see anything hanging on the fish.

Sorry for being so stupid...:confused3

[MelindaMac]

:) I'm glad I'm on the same page with you guys with the goodies for the FE.
I like the idea of "secret Santa" so I'm leaving ours without a name. Glad kids like the glow bracelets, etc. cause it seems many of us, me too, have gotten them.

The shirt design looks so good!!!!!!!!! :cheer2:

Melinda

[ICEMANPAD]

Actually the "midnight buffet" is different from pirate night buffet, although it does tend to start a bit before midnight and is in Lumiere's w/ice sculptures and chocolate of all descriptions.

Chuck:cool1:

[ICEMANPAD]

And i wonder how Andrew squeezes in practicing some law - it must take quite awhile to figure out how many posts each person has on a thread w/over 2000, although he probably keeps a running tab. Hmmm....wonder which client got billed for that time....LOL

Chuck:cool1:

[pooh mommy]

ok ill be the first to say wooooooooooo hoooooooooooo today is november first its not too far away now, time to pack up the halloween decor and bust out the suit cases,,,,,,,,,,,,, now that november first has arrived im going to do that count down that someone here had suggested with the pages and pulling one off each day i cant believe its finally november

Chuck, there you go getting all technical again! I hate it when lawyers want to focus on the actual law. :rotfl2: The law can really mess up an otherwise good case!

Does anyone use the Disney Rewards Visa? We have this card and were told that during November/December that DCL will be offering special deals if you book onboard and pay with this card. Part of the deal include NO interest for 6 months to pay for a Disney Vacation and an onboard credit...

We are thinking about booking again for next year, while on board...

We have never used the rewards, so any information you have would be helpful.

Wendy

[MelindaMac]

Yay,:yay: Nov 1st. I can't believe in nearly 2 weeks we'll be going on our first cruise. I've had the suitcases in the garage for nearly a month now they're coming inside. I'm ready to start packing!!! I don't care that you won't be able to walk through my dining room. With 4 people , you can take 2 suitcases, and 1 carry on each. That's 12 pieces of luggage. I hope I don't need that much!!!:scared1:

That's how I paid for this cruise, the 6 months no interest, (I think that's offered anytime you purchase a vacation package at WDW or a cruise) and when you get disney reward dollars for purchases you can use those on your cruise, as well.
The card has a lot of good incentives.

Hi everyone!! Halloween is over and hopefully be put away today. Gale force winds last night but not much rain thank goodness. This storm needs to leave the coast of florida fast.

Melinda:

Remember to take out about 50% of the items you pack... You can only get so many suitcases under your bed.... We usually bring one suitcase with FE items and water... Then we have plenty of room to bring items home from Shopping !!! One items that is always good to bring in November.... A light jacket for sweatshirt for evenings..

How in the world are we going to have a late dinner and eat a midnight buffet? My goodness!! Will we be able to manage somehow?:wizard:

What I like about using the card is that you can take 6 months to pay off the deposit, and then we put more payments on the card during the year and you get six months to pay off each of the payments also. It really helps us spread out the payments without incurring any interest.

Unless they've made a change, they won't let you combine the $200 OBC from rebooking with the $50 OBC you would get from booking a cruise with your Disney Visa.

This cruise, we have a $200 OBC credit from rebooking, a $75 OBC from Dreams Unlimited, and a $25 OBC from DU booking our cruise through Disney's website. :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

PLUS I have about $150 on my Disney rewards card from booking all three of our rooms on my Visa, and another $150 in Disney gift cards from Sunshine Rewards. Woo hoooo!!!!!!!!

[The LK 4]

Melinda - I saw that this morning about Nassau. :(
