:dance3:
:dance3: Hello everyone!! We are sooo excited for our cruise!! This is our first disney cruise and first ever cruise!!

[nascar8820]

We are finally less than a month before we cruise.:cool1:

This weekend I started working on our Fish Extender. I just have a couple of finishing touches. I must say that it turned out pretty good for someone who used hemming tape and fabric glue!:rotfl:

[usrynt]

We are counting down. Can't wait! My DD will be 11 and we are celebraing her birthday on board. We have cruised on Carnival before, but this is the 1st time on Disney. My mother-in-law went and had a blast. :rotfl:

[happydayva]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="4"]::confused3 So someone educate me on these fish extenders. I just found out about them on ebay. Do lots of people have them, and do we need to get one?

I don' know how many will have them but I am getting one off ebay. We have little toys to put in them so far. If you have one we'll be looking for you.

[wonderapril2007]

Hi - we will be on the 4/27 Wonder Cruise as well. It's our first Disney Cruise and I have been counting down for almost a year. I can't believe we now have less than 1 month.

[SpoonfulofSugar]

Hi everyone this will be our 2nd time on the Wonder!!! We're very exicted and can't wait!!!
List of characters:
me, DH, DS-6, DS-3 and DD-1

Anyone get their docs yet!!!

[happydayva]

:banana: We got our packet today!!! It is really becoming reality!!! We are going down on the 25th and staying 2 days at the contemporary before the cruise and then coming back and staying at the animal kingdom lodge. We are going to attend the pirate and princess party on the 2nd of May. Anyone else staying at WDW or going to the P&P party? Also, what excursions are you guys doing? Anyone doing the atlantis aquaventure?

Me :flower3: 33, DH pirate: 47, DD princess: 5

[nascar8820]

We got our packet yesterday too. We are doing the land and sea package. We will be staying 3 days at Port Orleans French Quarter before our cruise.

We have not booked any excursions. I was thinking about parasailing at CC but my fiancee thinks I am crazy because I have a fear of heights:rotfl:

[nascar8820]

Is anyone interested in a Fish Extender exchange?

I have been reading the FE threads and some are extremely extensive in detail. I am thinking something a lot easier.

Here is my idea - Make a list of participants with each person's DIS name and Cabin #. If they'd like to share the names of the people in their cabin that's great.

A suggestion on what type of gifts to give would be something that represents your hometown. You will only need to bring one gift per cabin for the entire cruise. A gift can consist of a few items.

I will keep everyone updated on how many DISers have contacted me so people can start planning how many items they need to bring. A week prior to sailing, the final list will be PM'd to everyone who's participating.

FE ideas - If you don't want to make a fish extender you could hang anything with a pocket (canvas bag, gift bag, etc.)

Let me know your thoughts.

I have purchased a fish extender and have purchased gifts. I will be roaming the halls looking for fish to give them to. If you are interested we can start a cabin list.

We r taking our 2nd DCL cruise with u also. Traveling will be Me(mommy32),DH33,DS6 & DS4.....Can't wait....my kids have the countdown going everyday....little do they know we r coming down 2 days prior....staying at CountryInn right on the port to watch the boats come in and visiting KSC for the day Saturday. May do MK in Friday after arriving, depends on kids....Its chilly here in Jersey and Orlando is in 80's today....Sounds wonderful.

Started packing.....this trip seems easier then first...DO NOT OVERPACK....lugging around all that luggage and gathering it on departing day is miserable...

Got my documents today....SOON everyone. :dance3: :cheer2:

We will have 3 little ones traveling as well. My list to bring is getting extremely long since I have to accommodate 2 in diapers and 1 still eating baby food & formula.

We will be staying at POP Century for a couple of days following the cruise. We haven't planned any excursions. We may just stay on board in Nassau.

I have been reading about FE for awhile and never did attempt to make one but I ordered one from someone else and should get it in a couple of days. I would be interested in an exchange. I wasn't sure how many folks on the shorter cruise would actually have a fish extender

[happydayva]

:thumbsup2 I think the fish extender exchange is a really neat thing. I think I would be interested. My DD (5) would probably love it!! I definately think simple is better. I have already been threatened by my DH for packing too much. Do people usually put their names on the gifts, or are they just anonymous?

That's alot of extra stuff-- but the good thing is now you'll have lots of extra space when you use the diapers and food.
Hopefully my list won't be too long (only one still in diapers and she's starting to train)-- yippee), we were on the Wonder 3 day in November-- so I hope we know what to expect--- I think??? LOL:rotfl:

I signed my DS6 and myself up for the Stingray Swim on Castaway Cay-- I just hope the water warms up in the next 3 weeks--- wishful thinking.


I think the Fish Extender idea sounds good too!

[Marypoppinsiam]

Hey we are joining you on this cruise. This was a last minute thing and it is going to be a surprise for our 8 yr. old. This will be our 4th DCL cruise but the first one on the Wonder. I am looking very forward to this vacation.

[nascar8820]

We are getting closer to our cruise :banana: ::cool1: :banana: :cool1:

When you get a chance PM me your cabin number and I will compile the cabin listing for the FE exchange.

19 days, 11hours, 41min and 20sec. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are so exited about our cruise!!! Getting closer!!! :cool1:

I never heard about the Fish Extender before, can somebody PLEASE tell me about it? I would love to see a picture.

Thanks in advance.

[byejou]

Not a very crafty person. I am looking into these FE worried if I order on it won't make it here in time. If I make one everyone will laugh at us. :rotfl: Wondering what else I can use. Any ideas will be appreciated. :cloud9:

Here is a good thread that has some pictures in it.

I made our FE last weekend using fabric glue and hemming tape. I will post a picture of it tonight.

If you are interested in the FE exchange PM me your cabin number and I will compile the cabin listing for everyone.

If the FE didn't work out I was thinking about decorating a canvas bag.

[Dopey'sMAMA]

Hi everyone....we will also be on this cruise I can't wait counting down the days:banana:

[nascar8820]

Here is a photo of our fish extender

http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm202/nascar8820/fishextender.jpg


It is definitely not as fancy as a lot of them that I have seen but I think it turned out ok. I started putting it together with just fabric glue and hemming tape. I did borrow a sewing machine to make sure that the pockets stayed attached. The logo on the top is printed on printable fabric and then ironed on.

[byejou]

I did it....I made the FE. Did not know I had it in me. Still picking the glue off my nails. Looks pretty neat. Can't wait to put it to use. You guys have to tell me how it looks. It will be on show in just about 18 days!!!!!!:dance3:

[marlee70]

Thank you nascar8820 for the info and the picture!!!
I like the idea, what type of presents do people give to each other? Do they put them in the FE at any time of the day, one per day? :confused3

BTW, we are one day closer to our cruise! :woohoo:

We are going to be representing the State of Ohio. marypoppinsiam is going to bring something pirate themed. So whatever you decide will be good. The plan is to only visit each FE one time during the entire cruise.

[byejou]

NJ is really one good for high taxes.....don't think anyone would like that for a gift. HAHAHA. Not sure what to give that represents NJ. Thinking..............

Starting to go through the bags and double checking the items. Soooo excited. My husband thinks I m obsessed. Maybe I will forget his undies, Opps :laughing:

[happydayva]

I reciprocate the excitement!!:cool1: We are also starting to pack bags and get things organized. I am going to order a fish extender from a nice lady on ebay (gradysmommy). She makes VERY pretty ones and for a reasonable price! I am going to get my daughter into helping me get gifts! Do we put our names on the gifts or are they just anonymous?

We are going to put our DISBoard name on the FE gifts.

Hi! My DH and I will be on our second Disney cruise and are looking foward to getting away for a bit and relaxing.

Glad to see that there will be other Dis board people on the ship!

Count me in for the FE exchange!!! :banana: I'll send you a PM with my cabin number. I still haven't decided what we are going to be representing, I'm originally from Cuba, my husband from Puerto Rico but we live in FL, so it would probably be something tropical. :laughing:

[marlee70]

nascar8820, I've been trying to send you a PM but I keep getting an error message :confused3

Maybe you can't PM since you only have 5 posts. :confused: When we first signed up I was not able to post a link until we had 10 posts. I read alot of trip reports and also checked out the photography threads and responded to them until I got up to 10 posts! :rotfl:

[happydayva]

:yay: 17 days away!!!!! WOW!!! I am excited beyond belief!! We watched a cruising dos and don'ts on the Travel Channel last pm and I was so excited, I wanted to take off right then and just stay at the port until time to leave!! This is our first cruise, so I really hope we are not getting to overly excited that we set ourselves up for too many expectations! But everything I have read and seems to say it is sooo wonderful! To Nascar8820, I also have to make a few more posts before I can PM you, but I will!! I am still trying to get creative with a gift that is not too big and will not get broken!

[disneyfan19712006]

What time is everyone arriving at the port? We have a limo transfer picking us up from POP at 8:30. I love to arrive early and be the first one in. It's fun to watch everyone arriving.

We are doing a transfer from AKL so what ever time they tell us:confused3

[happydayva]

:wizard: Hey! We are transfering via the AKL too! We are having breakfast at boma before and they said the bus picks up a 12:30. Can't wait! 16 days!!!

[nascar8820]

We are transferring from POFQ. I think I read that they pick us up around 11:30.

[JennL]

Work is hectic so really wish I was on the Wonder today. I spent the drive into the office thinking of what book I want to bring along on the trip, besides our passporter ; )

[Marypoppinsiam]

We typically are in line at 9:30. The terminal open up around 10am. Make sure you go check in online, it makes it so much easier and faster!

[marlee70]

We are driving from Miami, so it would take us like 3 hours to get to the port, I guess we'll leave the house around 7:30 but we really haven't discussed it yet.:confused3

BTW, we got our Disney Package yesterday!!! :banana:

[JennL]

We are staying the night before at coco beach. Think we are going to aim for 10 at the terminal.

[byejou]

We r staying at Country Inn at the port for 2 days prior. We will be in line at 10am. Last cruise we all went to home depot and picked up the mickey paint swatches and placed them on our carry on so we could tell what family was in the chat room and did a meet and greet on day 1. Anyone interested?

[wonderapril2007]

NASCAR8820 - I sent you a PM with our cabin information. Looking forward to our cruise. We will be aiming for an early arrival.

[JennL]

I think a meet and greet is a great idea.

Perhapse all gathering in a spot for the sail away party?

[nascar8820]

I sent everyone a PM this afternoon with an update on the cabin numbers.

[usrynt]

We got our packet last week and are counting the days. We are going down to the Port on the 26th so we do not have to drive on the 27th.pirate:

[usrynt]

We are also staying at the Country Inn the night before.

[usrynt]

16 more days - YEAH. Plus I am up to 10 posts.:rotfl:

[happydayva]

:tinker: My fish extender is ready and I cannot wait to get it!! I had one made and I am very excited about the exchange. My DD (5) has called it a stocking and is very excited about the gifts! I guess she is thinking like christmas! We came up with a very cute gift! I cannot wait for you guys to see them. I think meeting up for the sail away party is a neat idea, but I do not know the layout of the ship well and where we will be. It should be somewhere pretty easy to find!

[Marypoppinsiam]

Most DISboard meet and greets are on Deck 10 (above the Goofy pool) on starboard side before the Sailaway party. We usually made it right after the manatory muster drill. The Sailaway party starts at 4:30, so why don't you make the meet and greet at 4:15?

[disneyfan19712006]

We typically are in line at 9:30. The terminal open up around 10am. Make sure you go check in online, it makes it so much easier and faster!

We'll be there early with you. we have a limo pick up at POP at 8:30 see you bright and early.party:

The meet and greet sounds like a good idea to us too.

[disneyfan19712006]

I think a meet and greet is a great idea.

Perhapse all gathering in a spot for the sail away party?

It's kind of caotic at sailaway. In the past I have attended a meet at the Promedade Lounge about 3:30 gives time before boat drill. If we do meet at sail away I would say deck 10 aft then move together to the party. We could meet after the boat drill.

[nascar8820]

I like the idea of meeting at 3:30.

[lovechild]

Hi everybody! I'm so excited about my first cruise and to meet new friends.
:hippie:

[lovechild]

Hey, Im in 3rd grade and 9 years old. Is there anyone going on the cruise who is about my age? My favorite things are Hannah Montana and gymnastics.:cheer2:

[nascar8820]

Welcome aboard lovechild. There are a number of first timers (we are one of them!) on this cruise.

Are you just doing the cruise or will you be visiting WDW before?

[QJ411]

:goodvibes Hi!

Nascar8820 just linked me to this thread, we're sailing with you guys as well and would love to meet up! On my previous thread, a couple of other people posted and I'm really looking forward to meeting with them, I can't wait to tell them about this bigger meet up! I'm going to put my little miss monkey to bed first and come back to read through the pages to catch up.

It'll be me (Queenie), DH (Dominick) & DD (2 y.o. Madison), along with my parents & sister and her DBF but I doubt they'll want to hang around us most of the time...so it'll just be the 3 of us meeting you guys. Looking forward to it! :grouphug:

[QJ411]

NJ is really one good for high taxes.....don't think anyone would like that for a gift. HAHAHA. Not sure what to give that represents NJ.

LOL, I hear you on that...we're coming from NJ as well, but I can pick up our exchange gifts (if it's not too late for us to join) from NYC since you have NJ covered.

Ok, I just finished reading all the posts. In my previous thread, MinnyGranny62 & I were meeting up right after the drill in the atrium and going up to the sail away party together. I'm sure she would be thrilled to join us in the meet!

I see many of you guys are staying in WDW before, anyone staying in WDW after the cruise?

[byejou]

We will see everyone at the meet and greet. definately in atrium around 3:30 or on deck 10 at sailaway? Let us know and we'll be there. Nice to see another Jersey family coming aboard with us. Can't wait for 80-90 degree weather.

FYI everyone- a coworker just came back from wdw and said mk was 99 degrees one day. Pack that sunblock and aloe. :)

Any other gift ideas anyone????????

We r also staying at Country Inn, we check in on the 25th and will cruise and park and shuttle over hopefully by 10am.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:banana: :cool1: :dance3: :banana: :cool1: :dance3:

:banana: We are staying at the AKL for 5 days after the cruise and going to the pirate and princess party on 5/2. We cannot wait!!! Glad to have you on board and can't wait to meet everyone. I think the 3:30 meet is better so we can meet and talk at a quieter place!

We've been on the waitlist for AKLV for a while now but no luck...and with the travel dates coming up so soon, I highly doubt we'll be getting it at this point :sad2:, but we'll be at SSR for a few days, I'm sure we'll bump into each other at WDW! Yay! :cool1:

Great News.....thought I would DCL just to check to time we had for second dining....the rep said they r in the process of doing seating arrangements and there was an opening for main dining and we got it . YIPPEE.....:cheer2: I was planing to stand in that long line anyway. Now I can relax. Can u imagine two tired, hungry, hyper boys eating a large dinner at 8:30pm......Well, u don't want to. We would be the family that was well known in the dining room. :rotfl:

[usrynt]

Who has the list of the FE's? I would love to participate and we will cover GA. I just need to know how many gifts. Less than 2 weeks - can't wait!:banana:

Nascar2088 is keeping the fish exterder list. I think we should plan on meeting in the Promedade on Deck Three at 3:30 that way we can meet and decide on possible other things to do, like maybe a group picture. After that it gets kind of crazy with the drill then returning to the life vest to the room. We usually just make it to the sail away party. I don't know about you guys but I'm getting real excited, all packed and ready to go just have to count the days. At least we get a little Disney before we fly in Friday night arriving midnight and are spending Saturday with my Cast member son at the parks. He's excited this is his first Disney cruise. Just keep counting, Just keep counting ..........:yay:

Congrats on the getting the main dinning, great timing on your call to DCL! We usually don't eat until 7:30/8PM at home :rolleyes1 so we have the late dinning.

We're super excited too. We made a countdown calendar to "Mickey's Boat" and we've been marking "X's" on it each morning, so we're counting down the days! :banana:

During our last cruise, we joined a DIS meet up as well (we were the 'Dancing Banana Heads or something, the name slips my mind right now...) and everyone sent the organizer a family photo and she sent it with the meet up email so we knew who we would look for when we board. DH thought I was a complete weirdo when all these strangers came up to me and said "Hey are you Queenie?!" and we'd say hello and chat before we got to the actual meet up. Do you guys want to post a photo so we can be on the look out for each other? :confused3 BTW, I'm REALLY shy, so if I don't jump up & down and scream & yell when I meet you, please know that I am genuinely excited, I'm just REALLY REALLY SHY! :flower3:

Looking forward to meeting everyone! :woohoo:

[nascar8820]

We are getting closer!!!!! :yay: :yay: :yay:

I like the idea of meeting in the Promenade on Deck Three at 3:30 and I think Queenie's picture idea is a good one. Now we just need to decide on who will organize the pictures!

I have updated the cabin list this morning and I will PM it to every one.

I got the PM, thank you for doing the list! :flower3:

I like the 3:30 at Promenade also. If you want, I can organize the photos and email them back to everyone.

Can everyone email a family photo (who's going to be on this cruise) to me at: QJReda@GMail.com and I'll organize it with everyone's cabin number from Lisa's FE list and email it back to everyone. It'll be fun!

Lisa:: I forgot to give you the info on us! :rolleyes1 I have 1 DD, she's 2 (for the FE exchange). Thanks so super much for doing the FE list!

We're almost there!!!:cheer2:

My wonderful sister made the FE for me last saturday :flower3: I think I'm doing a small goodie bag, I don't know if it will represent something specific, I hope that's fine. :confused:

I noticed in the list we are missing couple of cabin # :scared1: I wouldn't like anybody to miss their present because we don't know the room number:confused3

[marlee70]

Hey, Im in 3rd grade and 9 years old. Is there anyone going on the cruise who is about my age? My favorite things are Hannah Montana and gymnastics.:cheer2:

Welcome aboard lovechild!
My son is 9 and he'll be on this cruise, but he definitely doesn't like Hanna Montana LOL! I'm sure you'll make good friends in the cruise. :goodvibes

[QJ411]

I made a simple little door sign for DD2, I'm going to try to have DH or myself run to the cabin before DD sees the cabin and stick (with magnet strips) it on the door, I think she'll be surprised! She loves Lilo & Stitch and can't wait to 'meet them' on board. :goodvibes

What do you think?

:goodvibes Hello cruisers,,,DH and I will be joining you on the 27th. I have been chatting with Queenie for a while now and would love to join all of you in a meet. As for pics...my computer is as old as I am so can't send pics so just look for a couple of old married folks in their 60's and that will be us.:rotfl:

Queenie...love your door sign and know that Madison will like it too. Shirley

My son is also 9 and he doesn't like Hana Montana either, I'm sure the 3 of you will have a great time!

I bought our FE Gifts today and DS helped put them together, now I just have to get into the packing mood:)

[usrynt]

We are getting closer!!!!! :yay: :yay: :yay:

I like the idea of meeting in the Promenade on Deck Three at 3:30 and I think Queenie's picture idea is a good one. Now we just need to decide on who will organize the pictures!

I have updated the cabin list this morning and I will PM it to every one.


I forgot to tell you that it will be me and DD (11). Room 6503. Thanks! Can't wait to meet everyone. :woohoo:

That is just adorable! My 4 year old daughter is sleeping every night with her Lilo stuffed toy, she specially likes Lilo's dress LOL! :cutie:

[happydayva]

:confused: Can some of you previous cruisers tell me something. I have never been able to get a clear answer as to whether the food on Castaway Cay (Cookies BBQ) is included in the cruise price, or is that extra to buy?

It is included, just like on the ship-- bbq, soft drinks, fresh fruit and frozen yogurt. Alcoholic drinks and beach rentals cost extra.

Thanks! If you want, I can make one for you guys as well, just PM me the name you'd want on it or character. It's not as fancy as the pros that design door magnets (they have some awesome designs!), but it's simple. Not sure if I'll have a good pic of the character, but I can try! ;)

I've received photos from Tracie, Billie & Lisa. :goodvibes I'm putting together the family photo & stateroom list, if you would like to send in your photo, please email me at:

Thank you so much for the offer!! :goodvibes but I have my door sign already done and printed. :rolleyes1 I printed it in a magnetic paper that I bought at Walmart and it turned out pretty good.

I can't believe how close we are to our cruise. :banana:

[nascar8820]

I am officially ready for our cruise now. I have had my pedicure, my tan is starting to look good and today I got my hair cut. Now all I have to do is wait! :hourglass

After our whirlwind visit to WDW (4 parks in 2.5 days :eek:) we will be more than ready for a relaxing cruise. So if guys always see us in the hot tubs - you know why :lmao:

We are flying in Friday night to spend Saturday in the parks. Two Parks one day. There's always time to relax later. If I see someone else wearing running shoes I'll wave. Have a great time.

[disneyfan19712006]

Okay everyone. I can't believe the day is almost here. Just 10 days and we will be enjoying the warm sun of the Bahamas. I gat and email two days ago from my friend Mary in Nassau. She says it feels like summer already. So here to looking forward to the cool waters(not cold) and warm sands of Castaway Cay. I'll be waiting in the Promenade Lounge a little before 3:30. I hope everyone can make it. If something comes up we will discuss setting up another meet during the cruise. I will post a note on my door. 2147 to let everyone know

Safe flight tomorrow and we'll see you on Sunday! :grouphug: I'll send you the email of the pics this evening so you can have a copy of it before leaving.

About the FE gift exchange, are we bringing ONE item only from our home state or enough for everyone who's participating? I have no FE, and I'm not capable of sewing a stitch:guilty: so I might just run to Michaels and see what I can use instead.

We will have 3-4 items for each FE. But plan on giving them all at once.

[byejou]

Still searching for gifts. Can not seem to find anything that represents NJ. Finishing the packing. Trying not to over pack. Anyone know if we can store luggage under the bed? Can't remember.......

For everyone staying at Country Inn.....first shuttle to port is at 10:30 no sooner. May have my hubby drop me off with bags and a child to check in and let him go back to hotel to park and ride shuttle. Will he be able to come check in after us? What will he need to show if I have cruise documents? Help anyone. :dance3:

I'm not sure if DCL will let you him in without him being there, if you have all the documents and passports, I don't see why they wouldn't let you check everyone in. But if they don't, he just has to go through security, head upstairs and meet you in the terminal (it's almost like an airport waiting area with comfy chairs, tvs, and even a few characters stop by to say "cheese!". He can just get online to check himself in with his passport and documents. But don't get on the ship without him! You guys need to take your family portrait on the gangway...:goodvibes HTH.

[QJ411]

Debbie, Lisa, Melissa, Billie & Tracie:: I just sent you the email with the photos, sorry it took so long.

Counting down the days!:grouphug: :yay:

Hope next week goes by FAST!!! :banana:

:cool1: Just in case anyone is wondering, the weather channel is forcasting 82 and partly cloudy for our day in Nassau!! Can't wait!!!!

[disneyfan19712006]

I don't know about everyone else but I am getting ancy. I can't wait. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at 3:30 in the Promenade lounge on deck 3. We'll be the ones with the extremely bouncy:tigger: 6 year old. We'll only have about 45 minutes for everyone to meet then head for our boat drill. I would like to come up with another meet maybe on sea day for a group picture. At least we will know who we are so we can say hi.

[byejou]

We will have two bouncing balls with us, ages 6 & 4. Everyone is super-excited.....especially the big kid at heart, me! I keep looking at the bags and in only a few days we will be loading them in the car to the airport. That's when it become real. :cool1:

[Marypoppinsiam]

It is so excited to read that everyone is getting ready to go.:cool1: My DH and I haven't even started packing yet, but hey it is only a 4 day cruise this time so I will only have to pack 1/3 of what I normally pack for a 7 day.

Ryan (8) doesn't have a clue yet that we are sailing next weekend. We don't plan on telling him until Sunday. He will know once we get closer to port since he has sailed twice on the Magic. I can't wait to see the look on his face!:yay:

We will fly into Orlando on Sat but we are staying in the Orlando area so he still will not have a clue. Thank God we just booked this trip 2 weeks ago, I don't think I could hold this secret very long from him.

What is everyone doing for shore excursions at Nassau? We are going to do the Aquadventure at Atlantis. We love waterslides and the beach so I think this will be quite fun. I recommend to anyone that the bicycles at Castaway Cay are a great way to see the island. They have bikes for everyone, even ones with baby seats. We thought this was one of the best things we did at CC.:woohoo:

[byejou]

Not too sure about any Nassau excursions. Last year we were not impressed. I think we may leave the kids on the boat and do some shopping for an hour or so then go enjoy the pool while everyone on on the island. Looking forward to CC day the most. No plans there yet either. This time next week we will be getting ready to check in. :cheer2: :yay: :cool1: :dance3:

[usrynt]

We are not sure about the excursions yet. We are getting everything together and ready to pack. Getting the FE gifts ready too. Can't wait to get on that boat and relax for a few days. 6 days and counting. See ya then! :cool1:

[Dopey'sMAMA]

Well I have the dinner clothes, ds and fe's packed:cool1: We are doing a cruise around the island with snorkel time included, and then shopping for Ricardo's Banana Rum;)

That's so neat to surprise him, I don't think I could keep a straight face either for too long, I'd burst. I'm looking forward (but not rushing it at all!) to DD2 to be old enough for us to surprise her with these trips!

We're not doing any excursions (at least not through DCL) at Nassau this time either. We might stop by Atlantis so DH can do some gambling, then we're going to shop a bit and either do the Pirates Museum or the Ardastra Gardens, haven't decided yet. But it'll be a short Nassau day for us, we'll be back on the ship to relax. :cloud9: I have a Parasailing excursion in CC, but I'm so wimpy right now, I keep thinking to cancel :rolleyes1

ONLY A FEW MORE DAYS! YAY! :banana: :yay:

[JennL]

Started packing last night, or creating mounds of things on the floor.

A waterproof camera is a must.

As are plastic baggies.

Oh and the best CC tip - if you are going to the Adult Beach, take the Tram.

See everyone there!

Since this is our first trip to Nassau we are going to walk thru the Straw Market then head over to the Pirates Museum. We have read many bad post about Nassau but figured we need to experience for ourselves. If we don't like it then we know not to go ashore the next time. (We haven't even had our first cruise and I am already talking about the next one:laughing: ) Then we are going to take a taxi over to Atlantis to check it out.

We have booked parasailing at Castaway Cay. I think I need to meet Queenie when she gets back from parasailing and hear her stories to see if I still want to go up:rotfl: We also are going to rent bikes.

[byejou]

Everyone pray we can dock at CC. Recent trip reports have said the ocean current was rough ands the winds prevented multiple attempts to dock at CC. I am hoping that things change for us. I am looking forward CC. We leave Friday am and r counting down, although the kids think we r leaving Saturday. Can't wait to surprise them. :yay:

[Marypoppinsiam]

I parasailed last time we were on CC and loved every minute of it. We went up in pairs of two's. It was so quite up there and the water view was spectacular. Don't cancel it you will regret it.

[JennL]

Last night DH was looking through the Passporter and remarks, "have to get to the ship early, there is so much to do before we set sail."

Love how planning for a trip makes the vacation longer.

Happy packing.

[marlee70]

I just wanted to post something to read in my ticker that we only have 5 DAYS LEFT!!! :cool1: :banana: :cool1:

We have our FE and gifts ready to go! We had to get a new piece of luggage since in our last trip the zipper of one of our bags was broken by the bag guys at the airport of Miami to steal our camcorder:headache: and we started packing.
It seems that the weather will be nice.:yay:

[wonderapril2007]

Well - it has been 1 year since I started planning this cruise. Now only a few more days until it becomes a reality. I have loved all the tips on suggested items to bring and I think I went overboard by getting everything suggested. :lmao: I can only hope that I can fit it all in my luggage. :scared:

[JennL]

If you have room, pack an empty bag for "growth."

I am praying also. My CM DS and DGS Andrew have never been. Hopefully all will go well and we will have an easy time docking. We leave Friday night, arriving in orlando at midnight. See you Sunday.

[nascar8820]

We leave at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!! (I'm worse than a kid at Christmas) I'm sure I won't get any sleep tonight. If I do fall asleep I will probably wake up every hour and look at the clock just to see if it is time to get up yet. See everyone on Sunday. :banana: :cool1: :cheer2:

[QJ411]

Safe trip everyone. :grouphug:

I think I might be the last to leave, we're leaving Sunday morning for our 6:40AM flight. I definitely will not be sleeping on Saturday, I'll probably be doing the last minute packing and trying to stay up so we don't oversleep. :surfweb:

We'll see everyone on Sunday! :cool1:

[happydayva]

:banana: We are leaving Friday at 2:25pm!!! WE CANNOT WAIT!! We will spend 2 days at WDW and then off to the ship!! We are soooo excited! We have not been to WDW in 11 years and this is the first trip for our 5yo. She has nothing to really compare it to except the county fair! Boy will she be surprised! Can't wait to see you guys!!:yay:

Great sign! I found some magnet board at Walmart in the photo section. I just had to peel off the backing and affixed my door signs. It came in 8 1/2 x 11 size and then you can cut as needed. If you can't find what you are looking for at Michaels - check Walmart.

Have a safe trip everyone.

[QJ411]

:confused3 Where did you get the disney people images? They are adorable!

They are cute, I love them. A fine gentleman named TOM (ImTooExcitedToSleep) on another thread sent them to me and I just Photoshop'ed the colors. He will use specific colors per your request, I told him what colors, which family member I wanted and he did them very quickly. But when I got them, I figured out how to change the colors around again, so I played with it a bit. Here's the link. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1523226&page=80
He also does great name tags, he made a few for us as well, they're really cute. This is the name tag:

They do have hair dryers but I've read here many times that they are not very good and it takes forever to dry your hair, people often suggest to bring your own. I have long thick hair, I'll make sure I bring my dryer... It's optional. :goodvibes

[JennL]

I know the hairdryers don't have that much power, but I have found they work enough for me not to lug mine from home. Depends how necessary a hairdryer is for your style, I supose. (or how big your home hairdryer is - mine is easily the size of two pairs of shoes)

We never use the hair dryer, but a lot of people bring their own from home with a power strip (so they can also plug in their other devices to charge) and blow dry their hair by the vanity so they have more room to move around or watch TV, etc.

Hi everyone!!:goodvibes
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the fun fish extender exchange--- I can't believe all the fun stuff we got!!!
