April 18th, 2009! - PATRIOT'S OF THE CARIBBEAN - Western Magic!

[outahere]

Ok...... We've had enough of winter weather and there is supposed to be more on the way for early next week :furious: So....... it's 55 degrees outside right now and DW and I just chipped a path through 3 inches of ice on the deck so we can get to the grill!! Looks like either steaks or burgers on the grill tonight!! :woohoo: At least if we don't look outside while we eat, we can pretend that it is warmer weather.

Can't wait to be on the Magic again!!

[aljsmom]

Please please please tell me you're from WESTERN MASS!!! I can't take this anymore! Wahhhhhh!!!!

[o4me2playn]

And WAY out here in CA we are still begging for rain!!! Although it is cold outside (at least for us) I am STILL waiting to travel East for some warmth!

BTW - is our other board down?

[aljsmom]

this has been a looooooonggggg nasty winter.:cool1:

[outahere]

Please please please tell me you're from WESTERN MASS!!! I can't take this anymore! Wahhhhhh!!!!

Sorry..... closer to central MA, near the Middlesex - Worcester county line. The last forecast I saw called for the good ole "wintry mix" (snow, sleet and freezing rain for you warm weather dwellers) on Monday and Monday night. We have definitely had enough too!!! That's why we decided to blaze a trail to the grill and have some "warm weather food".

Just keep thinking.... it has to end soon, it has to end soon. Six weeks from right now, our sailaway party will be starting!! :woohoo:

To o4me2playn...... trust us, we would be more than happy to ship our precip out west to you. I just checked the other board and was able to connect.

[aljsmom]

Ah well, thanks for the warning! I won't put the winter boots away just yet!:headache:

[KandiB47]

I guess I've been lucky. Wisconsin has been warm. Well, warm for this time of year. High 40's to low 50's. We have been getting a lot of rain but I like it better than snow:thumbsup2

PLEASE send the water this way!!! And I was able to connect also - must have been a hiccup :)

6 weeks people....6 weeks :yay: :banana: :cheer2: :cool1:

[castlegazer]

We actually went bike riding yesterday and now this!!!!!!! ARGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

This winter is stinky doo doo!!! :mad:

But just think how much stinkier it would be if we didn't have a cruise booked in 40 days - now that is one happy thought!!! :goodvibes :cutie:

Welcome to someone actually taking advantage of the FL discounts for this cruise!!!!!! Yeah brendapap!!!!!

I tried to get a friend of mine in FL to go becaus the deals were so good - no go!

How you guys doing on the diets? I actually lost some weight, about 7 pounds, and I am hoping to get down a few, or more than a few, more in the next 40 days.

I was going to start packing this weekend, but I have been sick as a dog and couldn't do it. I was actually quarantined last week by my doc with a nasty chest virus thing that manifested into bronchitis for me and pneumonia for my daughter.

its a huge understatement that I want this winter to be over with and to stop being sick anymore!!!! :headache:

[aljsmom]

Doc's call it "ILS" - influenza like symptoms. Everyone coughing their brains out for at least a month, fortunately did not progress to pneumonia or bronchitis.

Yes, this does make the cruise that much sweeter. But it's hard to get into clothes shopping, impossible to outside exercise when the weather is so nasty.

Congratulations on the diet. Mine, not so good!

[annronnieb]

I am sick too, strep - but luckily just me, so far....So weird about the weather, all the neighbors finally crept out of their houses yesterday - kids playing outside, parents having a cocktail on my deck to celebrate the turn of weather and bam snow again this morning - so strange.... Regarding weight - yeah, not so good. I was doing really well but lost steam. Luckily the strep is helping, ha ha - but I have to get serious now again and start excersizing.

[o4me2playn]

Doc's call it "ILS" - influenza like symptoms. Everyone coughing their brains out for at least a month, fortunately did not progress to pneumonia or bronchitis.

Congratulations on the diet. Mine, not so good!

I'm with you - diet not so good but I'm a big person anyway. :laughing:

Weather is cool in CA today - mid 50's but supposed to be 70 by weekend - hope so! I plan on starting to pack this weekend also (already have my lists going) as I'm booked solid till we leave.

See you all soon!

[brendapap]

My husband and I are celebrating our 13th Anniversary on April 20th, also:lovestruc

Congratulations on 30 years, that's awesome:love:


Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait . We'll be at sea on the 20th so I think we'll be in the adult pool all day sipping on margaritas.
:yay:

[castlegazer]

That's from a private excursion's web site.

I just bought a new bathing suit for the trip and it wasn't that painful of an experience! Yeah!!!! Just so everyone knows, or a repeat for those that actually shop more than my once in a blue moon excursions, the spring/summer stuff is out with bathing suits galore at Marshalls and TJ Maxx! Yeah! :cutie:

[o4me2playn]

Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait . We'll be at sea on the 20th so I think we'll be in the adult pool all day sipping on margaritas.
:yay:

I'll be right there with you!!!! :dance3:

(Happy Anniversary to all who will be celebrating on the ship!)

[brendapap]

So let me ask you guys how this works....... do any of you meet up on the ship. Maybe drinks buy the pool ? How do you know who is from this board on the ship? Is anyone from Pa or Orlando going on this cruise and finally does anyone have any special ideas for me to make this a great great 30th anniversary. Already made a bunch of magnets for the door. Thinking about a fish extender but to late to order one. Anyone know of a store I can buy one at? Thanks Brenda

Hubby does not know about the magnet signs. Thought I would surprise him.

It's a hanger thing with pockets from the fish by your cabin door. Other DISers put treats in it and other cool stuff.

[sewallmom]

It is my second cruise on DCL and I was to excited to take everything in. Especially with my DD (7) in tow.

I have a Kodak printer and I bought some of those magnetic sheets and they look horrible. I went to Staples and they won't print them out for me. I don't know what to do:confused3 :confused3

Do people really sell them on EBAY??

Sewallmom

[brendapap]

I printed them out on regular paper took them to staples and had them laminated then I just put magnet tape on the back.

[Had2disneycruz]

Hi All you Western Carribean cruisers!! I get very sad when I see this thread!!!!!! We will be collecting our luggage as you all will be dropping yours off!!! Yes, we will be getting off the Magic as you are all boarding. Can't believe I am jealous!!!!!!!!! The 18th of April will be a very sad day for our party of 6!!!!

Have a great cruise and please have a drink for me at your sail away party!!! We will be trekking it back to VA with heavy hearts (and lighter wallets!)!!!!

Have fun and we'll get the ship ready for ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peaches26]

Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait . We'll be at sea on the 20th so I think we'll be in the adult pool all day sipping on margaritas.
:yay:

Sounds fabulous!! :thumbsup2 We hopefully will be able to get an hour or two to ourselves to visit the Adult Pool, also! (We have scheduled nursery time for our 10 month old and hopefully our 10 year old will be in Kids Club!) :love:

I'm so ready for warm weather and beautiful scenery!! Its been raining in North Carolina for 3 days now! :eek:

[tomspixie]

I know I am not sailing with your group but wanted to give you all an extra sprinkle of pixie dust....LOVE your name!!! Great job!

There are a few folks on Ebay who sell them - if you order one - it should arrive in time for the cruise. OH and they will make them with what ever character you decide. (I ordered mine off of Ebay and it will arrive any day now).

HTH

[RJAYL]

Hey all you MA people we are on a 7 day RC Liberty cruise (trying something different) maybe we will bump into you!:woohoo:

[tinkerbelle77]

To all my fellow Cat 12 GTY friends...We have been assigned room #'s We are 6305, 6307 and 6647...Our room for FE purposes is 6305! All Cat 11's, but we are happy with them! We are trying for an upgrade at the port!

[pkoles]

We have been assigned ou cabin #
We werea Cat12 GTY
Have been assigned a Cat 10 on deck 1 1041
This is our cabin # for fish extender
Anyone have any thoughts about deck 1

[brendapap]

How many of you going on Disney Magic 7 night Cruise on April 18th are taking fish extenders? I know I am taking one. Would love to walk the halls and see some more.

[castlegazer]

THANKS EVERYONE - WHO IS NOT SAILING WITH US - FOR ALL YOUR WARM WISHES!!! And yeah, keep the boat put together for us!!! :cutie:


:yay: :woohoo: :banana: :cool1: :dance3: OMG!!!!!!! I just got upgraded to a Cat 9!!!!!!!!! Holy cow!!!!!

Ok - may I offer my sincere apologies to everyone I have threatened with my sharp elbows in the terminal - I very well may keep this room!!! :cutie: :rolleyes1 :woohoo:

Oh, and as for the signs, I just did the laminating too and then put magnetic strips on the back. Worked fine.

- OOOOO, must go celebrate!!!! Thanks for the heads up gys - I hadn't checked in a while. :hug:

[coconutsunshine]

We ended up with a Cat 12... anybody ever heard of a late upgrade?? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some magic:upsidedow

[castlegazer]

I think that's because there's only two of you. There's 4 of us, so we knew we wouldn't be in a Cat 12, but this is one of the cooler upgrades I have ever heard of. :love:

[KandiB47]

Thanks for the heads up about the GTY being released:goodvibes

We got a Cat 9 too:banana: :cloud9:


Probably because the room sleeps 3?

[Had2disneycruz]

To all my fellow Cat 12 GTY friends...We have been assigned room #'s We are 6305, 6307 and 6647...Our room for FE purposes is 6305! All Cat 11's, but we are happy with them! We are trying for an upgrade at the port!

Tinkerbelle77- We are in 6307 the week before you all get on the Magic. We were Cat. 12 and were thrilled to be upgraded to this cabin. We will try to leave something special for you since you are a DIS'er too. Not sure if the CM's will let us leave anything, but we'll try. Think of it as a FE gift inside your cabin! Have a great trip! Hope one of ya'll do a TR on the Western itinerary! We are doing the Eastern.

[kmab00]

Thats so neat....We are excited about the upgrade to an 11 also! We would love to have a little treasure hunt for somthing little left behind! The kids will love that! Thank you! Have a great cruise and enjoy!

[outahere]

Glad to see that the GTY folks are getting cabin assignments, and a few upgrades as well!

I just finished doing the online check in, so we must be close! Flying down four weeks from Friday. Can't wait!

In case I missed it, is there a DIS meet planned once we're on board?

[WAHkoMom]

I was also wondering about a DIS meet. I have not seen anything on this board or the private board.

[Had2disneycruz]

Thats so neat....We are excited about the upgrade to an 11 also! We would love to have a little treasure hunt for somthing little left behind! The kids will love that! Thank you! Have a great cruise and enjoy!

Wow! You are getting married on the cruise? That is awesome! Consider it done that we will leave something for your kids to find. Don't know where I will leave it , but I'll let the staff that we are doing it! Have a wonderful cruise and a fabulous wedding! Can't wait to hear about it....you need to do a trip report!

Now, I will leave you all alone and will get back to my trip thread! Thanks for letting me hang with ya'll!

[castlegazer]

Everyone - there is NO meet planned as of yet for once on board - and no meet planned for prior to cruise date either.

This is open for anyone wishing to plan one to do so.

The only planned activity is the fish extender exchange.

We do not have T-Shirts, wrist bands, lanyards, etc.

This is also open for a hearty planning sole to take on if anyone wants to.

Please feel free to step forward to plan any of this or help plan a meet.

I have been asked not to do this again by my husband, who regretably experienced a bit of missed wife last cruise due to the organization of meets, etc. I vowed not to do it to him again (see we had an infant that someone always needed to stay with when the DIS'rs were getting together at Palo or Sessions, as an explanation). So, that being said, the position of cruise director of the Patriots in the Caribbean is OPEN.

My family will be wearing our wrist bands from our prior cruise - which are lime green to signify the DIS.

if anyone wants to organize this, its at www.reminderband.com (http://www.reminderband.com) I ordered them last time and we wrote on them, DISney Magic'al Memories 4-29-06 and had them made in lime green and we used the glow in the dark lettering. They are super cool!

It was so cool to walk around and see everyone with them! We had a large DIS group and felt like we had friends everywhere on the ship.

OK - that's probably as far as I am allowed to go with the whole planning thing at this time. Sorry. I am here to keep us moving along in the thread, but that's all I can do this cruise and keep my wonderful husband happy. :rolleyes1

[WAHkoMom]

This is our first Disney cruise, so I don't think I'll bite on taking on "full-blown" cruise director role, but I'd be willing to order wristbands. If I order 100 will that be sufficient?

[WAHkoMom]

Update: I placed an order today for silicone wristbands. All the details are on the private board, so if you're sailing with us and are interested, please let me know over there.

[epcotrulz]

We'll be the male couple at the Quiet Cove pool with a bucket of Miller Lite -- feel free to walk-up and introduce yourself if you see us! It's so easy to strike up a conversation with a fellow Disney fan. :goodvibes

BTW, has anyone seen that thread on "Age Enforcement"? I really hope we don't run into that issue on our cruise. I certainly don't mind check-ins and little ones passing through on their way to the family pool, stopping to tie a shoe, whatever -- but if Quiet Cove didn't exist, we probably wouldn't be on DCL . . .

[WAHkoMom]

epcotrulz - - - Well, now not only will I be able to find you, but you'll have to guard your bucket of Miller Lite, because that's my favorite brew, too!! :rotfl2:

[epcotrulz]

epcotrulz - - - Well, now not only will I be able to find you, but you'll have to guard your bucket of Miller Lite, because that's my favorite brew, too!! :rotfl2:

Do you bring your Miller on-board? This is our first time planning to bring on-board, and I'm nervous about bringing on glass bottles. If they're not allowed, that's fine, I'll just need to find a store close to port that sells the plastic bottles -- which can be a challenge . . .

[Brooke3L]

You can take on bottles but you will have to poor your beer in a cup when out by the pool. I just bought cans on our last cruise.

[brendapap]

Update: I placed an order today for silicone wristbands. All the details are on the private board, so if you're sailing with us and are interested, please let me know over there.

What is or where is private board. How do I get a wrist band.

[cctimmom]

Brendapap... the private board is the one you signed up on a couple weeks ago... http://disneymagic0418.activeboard.com/

Come on over...

Actually, here's the direct link to the post about the wristbands http://disneymagic0418.activeboard.com/index.spark?forumID=126996&p=3&topicID=26239989

No, but I was just about to go read it - love a little controversy in my reading on the DIS - oh, and you may have to be a bit more specific since on our last DCL cruise there were more than just one male couple! ;) In fact we were cruising with a lot of the DIS webmasters and Pete too!

I think ABC has the plastic long necks in stock or else Publix does. It may not be that hard to find since everyone wants them to be by the pool! Hope you have luck with it! We had a huge bucket of them by Ron Jons' pool when we met up with some people from our cruise there last time and they had gotten them at Publix.

[castlegazer]

I got to page 4 and gave up on that one.

The good news, epcotrulz, is that its only spring break for us up here in the Northeast, so that should limit the amount of school aged kids (read: poorly behaved parents) on the cruise.

I didn't spend much time at the Quiet Cove Pool, so I don't know if this went on the last April cruise we took. I don't think so, because when I was there, it was ADULTS only.

Hoping for a very well behaved, awesome group of cruisers on our Magic'al voyage! :cutie: :goodvibes

We had the WORST cruise of our life one time because of, and only because of, the way people were acting on that cruise - so, truly, this is my BIG wish for this upcoming cruise!

[outahere]

The good news, epcotrulz, is that its only spring break for us up here in the Northeast, so that should limit the amount of school aged kids (read: poorly behaved parents) on the cruise.



I hate to be the bearer of somewhat bad news, but every DCL cruise we have taken during the MA spring break, was pretty loaded with school aged kids. The past two years we have taken a 4 night and there were close to 1000 kids on both of them. The last 7 night we took during spring break (April, 2004), I recall them saying, during the D Sea U graduation, that there were 1200 kids on board, and several hundred of them were from MA.

Hopefully, the adults will behave themselves on this cruise.

[castlegazer]

so then the question for you is, were the parents/kids as bad during the april cruises you have taken as the thread implies people are being right now about staying within the adults only rules?

Our last cruise wasn't during a school vacation week, so that would have impacted my impression of it not being that bad.

I know the stage was full of kids and I am pretty sure we were at capacity with kids on our cruise because we had a friend wanting to join us and they couldn't because there was no room for a family with children to book at the point they made this decision. But sometimes it matters what breakdown of kids you have cruising.

I don't know. :confused3

Let's all hope for great people - no manner issues - and all pixie dust and magic! :tinker: ::MickeyMo

[outahere]

so then the question for you is, were the parents/kids as bad during the april cruises you have taken as the thread implies people are being right now about staying within the adults only rules?



I'm not sure the April cruises were really much different than the others we've been on. I've been following the thread about adult areas as well, and I think you may see some of what is being discussed, on just about any DCL cruise. Personally, I don't have a problem with kids just doing a quick check in with parents or just walking through the Quiet Cove area. If it becomes more than that, I would not hesitate to seek out a CM or complain at Guest Services. It is also impossible to get anywhere aft of the forward elevators (on deck 9) without going through the adults only area. We don't usually go to the nightclubs after 9:00pm, so I have no first hand experience with that issue.

[outahere]

On a different note....... our cruise docs arrived this afternoon!!! :yay:

The last couple of cruises, they didn't arrive until about two weeks prior, so they are definitely early this time!

Must be close now.........

[cctimmom]

we haven't gotten our's yet... I almost forgot we still needed to get those!

waiting (im)patiently! :rolleyes1

[WAHkoMom]

We got our cruise docs today, too!! And the luggage tags had our upgraded cabin number on them so that made me feel better. (I must have checked our online reservation 5 times to make sure I wasn't reading the stateroom number. It still says we're booked for a Category 9, though, which is what was making me nervous.)

Oh, and just to make it all the more realistic, we got a call from DVC Member Services this afternoon, telling us about the cabin upgrade. Funny how both happened on the same day!

We're driving down to FL (from MA) and we're leaving 4 WEEKS FROM TODAY!!! :banana: :banana: :cool1: :cool1:

[yogibigdog]

We got our today too!:banana:

On my December cruise during the lifeboat drill they asked the guest be quiet in the hall, do not hang out by staircases. Lots of do's and don'ts and to respect other passengers....

I saw them ask kids who were sitting in a chair at the Adult pool to leave.

The worst thing I saw and this was a couple of cruises ago was when a boy went the bathroom in the Goofy pool .....and the father slithered away while everyone else swam in his son's toilet. He picked up his two boys and walked away.....I had to get the cast member to close the pool. I was sitting on the edge watching my son swim when this boy started yelling Daddy I have to go the bathroom and he yelled well where is your Mom.

It was really bad.....

[cctimmom]

now that I think of it... we probably wouldn't get our docs til next week because it'll probably take the TA a few days to ship them out to us.

If I don't get them a week from Monday, I'll give her a jingle...

[cctimmom]

ps... I'm thoroughly grossed by the dad who let his kid use the pool as his private toitty... ga-ross!

[tinkerbelle77]

We got our docs yesterday! And we used a TA...Dreams Unilimted!

As far as the little boy pool incident...Thats just disgusting!!! I can't believe that some people are so wrapped up in other things that they don't pay attention to their kids, or just plain old too lazy to do anything about it!

[o4me2playn]

Sorry for the late post. Just got home from spending the weekend with my folks.

Wes and I got our docs on Friday also and we booked thru DVC using points!

Just a few more days now!

See you all real soon....:cool1:

[castlegazer]

ps... I'm thoroughly grossed by the dad who let his kid use the pool as his private toitty... ga-ross!

totally gross, but the way you said this just made me crack up! :lmao:

So, girls, I am going to go for the.... shhhhh...... wax route this cruise. Never done it for anything other than brows. I am a little scared. :scared1: I actually think I may even go to tan a little too - never done that either, but I spend most cruises burnt like a lobstah the first few days and my sister keeps telling me to do it so I don't have to worry so much.

advice??? :surfweb:

[castlegazer]

I just went and checked on the cruise and right now there are only Cat 4,5,6 available. When you click Cat 6 you are only guaranteed - no specific rooms available to see. I clicked on main seating for dining and it gave it to me, but I didn't go to the end, so I don't know if it would have held.

I am more calm than I would have been about it. But it does look like they are filling the ship. I would take big bets that you could get a suite if you wanted one, though.

Good luck with that :rotfl2: I would be a little scared too! You will have to let us know how it goes.
I am not a big fan of the tanning booths but if will help you from getting burns before you go that might be good.

I just went and checked on the cruise and right now there are only Cat 4,5,6 available. When you click Cat 6 you are only guaranteed - no specific rooms available to see. I clicked on main seating for dining and it gave it to me, but I didn't go to the end, so I don't know if it would have held.

I am more calm than I would have been about it. But it does look like they are filling the ship. I would take big bets that you could get a suite if you wanted one, though.

I just checked for our cruise, and Cat's 4-12 were available. So I'm not too sure about them filling the ship! We are wanting an upgrade, so hoepfully there are some available!

Really? Hunh, I wonder if that happened for you because of family size? I can't make anything but 4-6 to show up.

[epcotrulz]

No, but I was just about to go read it - love a little controversy in my reading on the DIS - oh, and you may have to be a bit more specific since on our last DCL cruise there were more than just one male couple! ;) In fact we were cruising with a lot of the DIS webmasters and Pete too!

I think ABC has the plastic long necks in stock or else Publix does. It may not be that hard to find since everyone wants them to be by the pool! Hope you have luck with it! We had a huge bucket of them by Ron Jons' pool when we met up with some people from our cruise there last time and they had gotten them at Publix.


Thanks so much for the advice!

[KandiB47]

I also just checked room availability. With three people Cat 4-12 were available. With four people only Cat 4-9 showed up for me.

[tinkerbelle77]

I just checked again today and Cat's 4-12 were available! Hopefully that means good upgrades at the terminal!

[aljsmom]

How does that work? I assume you go up and tell them at check in you want a better room. What does this cost?

[outahere]

How does that work? I assume you go up and tell them at check in you want a better room. What does this cost?

After you check in, you can go to the supervisor's station at the counter (far right end, next to Concierge check in) and ask if any upgrades are available (if none are available, there will be a small sign indicating that none are available). The price is based on what you booked versus what category you want to upgrade to, and it is a per cabin charge, not per person. Prices vary from cruise to cruise, so no way to tell until you get there.

[sunburnin]

Hi All!

Keep the ship in a clean and running order for us please! I'm on the April 25th cruise right after you so save me some beer. :thumbsup2

I hopped in to see when you were getting your cruise docs and it looks like I should expect them anyday now if you got yours last week.

Hope you all have a fantastic trip! Have FUN!!!!!!

Are you sure you want the "Big Dig" ice cream ? :confused3

It costs 10 time what the menu says. :teacher:
You can't have it untill June 2010. :scared1:
and it comes in a bowl that leaks. :rotfl2:

yes, as someone who drives that leaky tunnel daily I can attest to that!

:rotfl::lmao: Oh too funny!!!! or should I say NOT!!!!!!!!! :mad:

sandyam - yeah, thanks - I am scared! :scared1: But I do have to report that I have started the tanning and that is ADDICTING! It feels soooo good to go and lay under the heat for a few short minutes and pretend you are on the beach! I have to be careful not to get addicted to it - as a mega blond former lifeguard with waaaaaaaay too many burns already under my belt for comfort in the skin cancer arena. But I do think its a good thing to be getting a base going - I really have become too familiar with ships doctors in the past for sun blistering. Its really a problem for me.

I even got burnt this past Saturday with that gorgeous weather we had - we were outside from 8:30 am until 5:30 - we just didn't want it to end! Knowing full well what Sunday was going to be like.

We finally got our docs this past Friday from our TA - see Julie, yours isn't the slowest in that category.

Hey, any word from Jon on a spreadsheet we can open for the fish extender list?

I'm going to start tanning, too. I'm also fair and getting a bit of a base helps me from scorching myself early on during my vacation.

Yeah I guess the ice cream will not hold up to the trip. I will have to wait till I get back up north again. 18 days till the cruise tick tick tick tick tick tick

Are you in charge of putting together the Fish Extender? My husband and I would love to join in on the Fish Extender gift exchange - this will be our 14th cruise and we have been participating in the FE for the last two years - we love it. Please let me know if you would like help.

jontheref is in charge of the fish extenders...and I believe he finalized the list...He's getting married on 4/10 in the UK and then coming over on his honeymoon, so I'm not sure you would be able to reach him, as I know they are extremely busy!!!

[brendapap]

Do you all have a list of room #s that are participating in FE. Could you please add me & DH Room 7634

:dance3::cool1::worship:

are you sure you have checked in to the right cruise? Your cabin should have been assigned at this time.

I am going to leave this to Jon, but we did have a cut off for Fish extender participation because of the needs of everyone to get the count correct for purchasing items.

brendapap, I did add you to my personal list and others may also do the same, but as tinkerbelle said, there is a very big liklihood we will not hear from Jon prior to the cruise. brendapap has been participating in the other site for quite some time now, so I have no problem adding you into my list.

fbtbdisney, you have not been participating in the thread or other site, so I am not inclined to add your name since FE gifts actually are a labor of love and participation by a group of newly created friends who have been chatting for months now. If you have been doing this for 14 cruises, I would think you would know that and know the effort that goes into this.

I searched your profile and you put down all different amounts of past cruises in other threads (although you only have 14 posts) and also try to jump in on the end of fish extender participation for the March Wonder, January Wonder, and December Wonder.

Honestly, I want everyone to have fun on a cruise and get the experience of a fish exchange, but my vote would to say, I am sorry, but we did close participation.

[fbtbdisney]

I am sorry you feel this way, personal reasons prevent us from booking any sooner, in fact this cruise was not booked until 30 Mar 09, but that is neither here nor there. I do hope you all have a fun trip and again I am sorry you have no use for late comers nor new friends. Please enjoy and remember the Magic.

[kmab00]

I don't have a problem with others joining in the Fish Exchange but I already bought/ordered everything and I don't think I could get more stuff in time! Bummer... I'm not sure what to do! :confused3

Thanks for posting the list.

We went to see Monsters vs. Aliens in 3d last weekend and it was awesome! I am really looking forward to the new theater on the ship and its capability to do all the 3D movies now!

That does sound cool for runners! Let me think about it...... um.... NO! Sorry. I am all about Konk Koolers, massages, and drifting in that water.

I actually can't run anymore, but if I could I may have been somewhat interested. I found out a year ago that my talus bones are ground to pulp from sports and running. I am facing fusing in 10 years if the medical field doesn't have some advances into the process of rectifying the situation - its that bad. :scared1:

have fun on it, though!

[o4me2playn]

8 days for me (well by this time it's really 7.5!). Too much to do and too little time to get it done in.

It's raining here this week and I've been battling ANOTHER cold!! Need to find some warmth and something GOOD to drink!

Have we decided if we're going to meet somewhere on board before the sailaway party?

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

[castlegazer]

I am feeling weird not having something set up for a meet. How bout we say we will meet by the TVs in the terminal (you'll know what I mean when you get there - they're on the right side) at 11 am and then for those who won't be to the terminal that early, we will meet again on the ship on Deck 10 port side by the Stack doors after the lifeboat drill - and then for anyone who wants to be downstairs - its OK. I was planning on seeing how it goes and setting another meet, invitations via FE, for later in the cruise.

WahkoMom - are you going early to the terminal?

[castlegazer]

port's right, right? I mean the right side.

[outahere]

port's right, right? I mean the right side.

Port side is left (same number of letters in each word). The right side is starboard, and that is where the door to the Stack is.

Should I wear a red carnation? :laughing:

I'll have the wristbands, too. (My kids have been wearing them and thoroughly enjoying the fact they glow in the dark! They run into the bathroom with the lights off and I hear, "AWESOME!")

[WAHkoMom]

Is anyone else staying at the Country Inn & Suites on Cape Canaveral? We arrive there Friday afternoon.

[tinkerbelle77]

We will be at the port early also! As far as where the TV's are...They are to your right after you come off the escalator...We will be in Cocoa Beach Friday afternoon staying at a 2 bedroom place...Can't remember the name right now!

[annronnieb]

We are leaving from the Beach Club and taking Disney transport so probably won't get there until 1:30 so hopefully we'll see you all on Deck 10 after the lifeboat drill. Leaving on Wed.15th!! Can't believe it's finally so close. Happy packing!

As for deck 10 STARBOARD - that's a go too. But I actually meant for the sailaway party - I will not be there afterwards as we have to leave during the party to make dinner.

You can buy a Hyatt Stay Certificate for a discounted price and use it for one night at a Hyatt hotel! Soo...we're staying at the Hyatt only we didn't pay $200.00 for the room! lol!

I stayed on Hotwire for WEEKS trying to find something but our date never showed up so I finally gave up and ordered the certificate instead.

[castlegazer]

I would suggest to anyone looking for something at the port either the new restaurant, Milliken's Reef, or Grille's or Fish Lips.

I don't want to pin down on a dinner because we will be in the parks and I then have to get over to Cocoa beach and shop and get settled for the night. I am hoping to make it to dinner somewhere, but I am not optimistic.

To avoid being charged, excursions must be canceled 3 days prior to sailing. You can probably get away with not being charged for the high tea if you wait until you're on board, as long as you cancel early. If you don't really think you want to do either one, I would suggest canceling now to be certain you won't be charged. I'm not sure what they consider to be 3 days, it could be by tonight (Tuesday).

I just canceled my 7:30 Palo Dinner for 4/20. Just in case someone wants to grab it.

Hey, did you all pre-pay tips or are you bringing cash?

[cctimmom]

I missed you can prepay for tips... so I guess I'd say no, I haven't... lol

I have a piece of paper with me or near me at all times right now... even next to the bed so I can write down last minutes things to buy or reminders.

We usually just charge them to our onboard account around the middle of the cruise, and then add a little extra cash if we feel it is deserved.

I have been so busy getting ready I haven't had time for the boards.

When are the meets? I saw something about wristbands but I don't have one. I would love to meet everyone and say Hi! Is there a meet other then the TV's might be.....I think we will get there after 11:00

Have to go start packing!

Thanks, Carol
