Cabin 6588

Still trying to recruit a few more people. DU tells me I have 430 days left to do this. I know it's going to go fast!

We are in for fish extenders, secret mickeys, and anything that involves champagne, pyjamas or both. :thumbsup2

[Lollipop's Mom]

Great new thread!!

Please add us to the Fish Extender and anything else. Cabin 2100.

Just a note - on my last cruise we did a meet in the promenade lounge at 3pm on the very first day. This worked REALLY WELL. It was just before the drill and gave everyone about 45 mins to have a quick meet and get to know faces/names for the rest of the cruise.
Could we do that??

[Lollipop's Mom]

What are secret mickeys?? I only know about the FE.

[nskjerven]

I am so tempted to post my details as we are both determined to be on this cruise, but I don't want to jinx us. Chances are that we won't book this cruise until we are on the Magic in October.

I can't help with Shots around the Ship or the Edwardian Tea as they are new to me as well, but I am familiar with the other two.

On some of the bigger DIS cruises, special lanyards are made. We had them for the September 1st Special Cruise on the Magic. They had the name of our cruise meet thread and the dates on the actual lanyard and then we had some artwork with our names (both forum and real name) in the little plastic wallet. A number of people did get together and it was their present to everybody on the thread. This meant that we would instantly recognise each other around the ship (we had about 400 DISers on that cruise).

Secret Mickey is like Secret Santa. Usually a questionnaire is sent out to everybody participating and then closer to the cruise each participant is matched up with anothr person. Throughout the cruise the person spoils their Secret Mickey recipient with notes and little gifts. Usually on a sea day towards the end of the cruise, everybody gets together and hands over the final gift, that is usally bigger than what is left throughout the cruise, to their recipient.

Corinna, shots around the ship:drinking1 only requires you to attend a late night trip to as many of the bars:drinking1 and clubs:drinking1:dancer: that we can hit before they close.::cop: if unsuccessful we may have to try again. dam i would hate for that to happen..:cool1: :rotfl2: ...and pink wigs will be optional!!!!!!!!:cheer2:

Pink wigs are going to be banned this time...:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I STILL haven't opened mine yet... (may send it to Bubba for when the other one wears out... )

Hi fellow cruisers,

Boy, ya'll sure posted alot for this cruise since the last time I was able to check it. I saw the link to Craftymouse's link on the first page. I know there is a list of people on the cruise. There was also information for joining the FE and Secret Mickey. I signed up for both.

I'm also up for any other fun activities as I'm cruising solo. Although I'm 41, I'm willing to be adopted :rotfl2:

Could someone explain the "champagne girls" logo I've seen?

Kristi - cat. 11

[kcashner]

Well, I finally quit drooling and thinking about it and bit the bullet and booked it!

I booked myself and TBD as DD will be in college (she thinks she should ditch and sail--WRONG!) Don't know if I'll ask a friend, agree to book somebody's "spare" so they can go in a 4 person cabin instead of a 5 or what, but there's plenty of time for that to be figured out. Hate to spend the bucks to sail solo, but that's a possibility too.

I'm a frequent flyer--17 sailings on the Magic so far, and 4 more DCL trips scheduled before the trans-Atlantic. LOVE the special sailings! LOVE the sea days....LOVE the MAGIC!

So...hi to everyone, and I'll catch up with the group soon...there's lots to read.

I'm in a 10 gty as that was what was available....will try to change the ressie to a rebooking while on board when I sail next.

[Lollipop's Mom]

Oh I didn't post a photo! Well you don't get one of me because I am on a MASSIVE diet to lose 100lbs before I cruise! :)
I had some health problems over the past couple of years that peaked this past fall and the weight piled on....and on....and on.....
So I have this big life changing goal of a dress size I want to be when I cruise! I am very self conscious right now.
In the meantime - here is Meg on formal night of our past cruise on Jan 10 :)

Jamie - 27 and turning 28 on April 20th during the cruise!
Jalen - 8

Please add us to the Fish Extender and secret Mickey's and anything else there is to sign up for.

I have no idea what my cabin number is and as long as I am on the ship I am good.:hyper:

[Narnian_Princess]

Hi, looks like I'll be joining y'all. :)

It's going to be me (Rachel, 21 at sailing) and my dad (David, 50 at sailing).

We are booked in a Cat. 11 GTY, and I am THRILLED! I've been on 3 3-day Disney cruises, but nothing like this. I am so happy.

I would sign up for things, but I'm not very good at choosing gifts for others. :confused:

Thank you! :D

I'm a huge Doctor Who fan (new series) so when I needed to make a new signature so the ticker would fit, he was a natural choice!

And I have to apologize for my horrible math; in my first post I said my dad was going to be 40 at sailing. :confused: He's going to be 50.

[Lollipop's Mom]

Wasn't there a message board set up on the last thread?
I would love to have a place to discuss specific things without having to dig through this thread.
For example - a discussion on transportation options in Spain from port to airport - whats the best deal,etc???

Or just a place we can post great info we find over the next year regarding the ports and stuff.

ALL your dad has to do to participate in F/E is to make sure to empty his daily!!!!:goodvibes i will be 52 on this cruise, and i have only been on the WB P/C and found f/e to be so much fun even though i am the most reserved person i know(NOT)..

he may find if he hangs out with this group he may have a little fun.

Karl is bringing up a good point.

Shall all invovled in FE also gift for FE??? I know we had people on the WB Repo that wanted to be gifted but didn't want to gift. Personally, I think that sucks. It really is about sharing in my mind. A gift need not be expensive to be given, it's really the thought that counts. Even a hand written note would be better than nothing in my mind. So do we have this discussion early and often or shall I just slink away with my opinion???

Wasn't Tinkerbelle(something else) wanting to be in charge of FEs??? or was that Secret Mickey???

Yeah, I was wondering how something like that would be handled. I have no problem bringing gifts (except that I'd be terrified of bringing something stupid! And feel very strange "sneaking" around the ship putting things in people's fish :laughing: ) but my dad wouldn't do it at all. He might enjoy my excitement, but he wouldn't join in. Of course... you never know, he may surprise me! He's already agreed to go with me to Palo and to the entertainment, which I thought he wouldn't do, so who knows what else he'll come out of character and do? :goodvibes

But this is the guy who won't wear his CC lanyard even on 3-day cruises... :rolleyes:

Anyway... I feel mean making such a statement, but I think it's horrible to ask for gifts and not give any in return. It seems very selfish and inconsiderate. Just my $0.02.

The WB PC Repo was my first experience with FE's, & it seemed wonderfully organized & was alot of fun. The way I remember it was that whomever wanted to participate was put into a small group (there was a group for each day of the cruise). Each group organized & put together their gifts, & distributed them on their assigned day. Thus there should have been surprises in the FE for everyone on each day of the cruise. I didn't think that someone could only ask to receive, but not be in a group to also give gifts. That definitely doesn't seem right!

[Tink rules]

It's easy... you want to get... you give...

And if we have alot of people interested, some can form groups and give - lots got together and did some great things. (So Karl can join in with others and we won't tell anyone he was involved...;) )

It's fun when it's silly things too... it's just fun. And remember... your FE can be whatever you want it to be... not just a formal FE... I used a Xmas stocking type I made out of Dis green material...

[surf2di4]

* Secret Mickey Exchange - Each participant will get the name of another cruiser and will then be that person's Secret Mickey. Secret Mickey's can leave notes, small surprises and anything else they can dream up for their special cruiser. Near the end of the cruise we'll have a group meet where the Secret Mickey's will reveal themselves and give their special cruiser a gift. PM tinkerbell77 for more information and/or to add your name to the list!


* Fish Extender Gift Exchange - Surprise your fellow cruisers with a small gift in their Fish Extender! Participants will need to bring one small gift for each family participating. PM tinkerbell77 for more information and/or to add your name to the list!

Does anyone want to race for Pirates pirate: ????

It's easy - whoever posts a message with the post number ending in "00" gets a pirate. (So, 100, 200, 300, etc.) You get to name your pirate your very own "piratey" name - and the person with the most pirates gets a gift on the cruise (probably drink of your choice at the DisMeet.)

What do you think? Who's in? ::yes::

How about this idea - we sign up for FE by cabin. If a cabin is participating, everyone in that cabin is included. But each cabin only has to give once - so if you have someone in your cabin who's not really the Fishy type - it doesn't spoil your fun - and they still get a little group love. :grouphug:

Does that make sense?

[Lollipop's Mom]

Hey guys...
I just found another very cheap way to fly home for westcoasters
Aer Lingus again....

Fly to Dublin for about 30 euros each
Dublin to Seattle is about 220 euros each!

(I haven't priced other west coast cities, but sure they are similar).

Sounds good to me! :goodvibes

[IngridRalph]

Aer Lingus sounds like a good idea for the west coasters. I am hoping I can get a comparable airfare to what I got through disneycruise. I just priced 2 category 11's vs 1 category 4 and I can save amost $3000!

~Ingrid

[Tink rules]

Lets see about the fish extenders as we find out how many people are interested... some may want to team up if we have alot of people, but it's a good idea - we'll keep the list going to see (I have to PM tinkerbelle(77?) again and see if she's still doing the list. :flower3:

[Tink rules]

& I like the idea of aer lingus... I've always wanted to see Ireland... if only for a few hours... ;)

[Ginamarie]

Aer Lingus seems to be the least expensive based on this year's rates, even to get back to JFK.


As far as fish extenders go, we'd love to participate. We have three cabins this time around. On the PC cruise we had so many people participating that we broke into groups. I didn't personally bring something onto the ship, but we contributed to the cost of our give-away, someone else from the group brought the give-away onboard, and then we all broke up the list into portions to give away our stuff on our given day. Not only did the kids love finding items in their FE every day, but they had such fun giving away our items on our given night.

Our group: (ages at time of cruise)

Ginamarie and Josh (me and DH) both 31
Olivia (DD) 3
Salvatore (DS) 1
George and Dawn-Marie (Dbro and SIL) around the same age (I won't list their age just in case they wouldn't want me to)
Giuliette (DSis) 11
Grant (DBro) 6
Rosemarie and Daniel (my parents)


Here's a picture from our last cruise. It's not our exact group since my dad wasn't on the last cruise and my grandparents won't be joining us for the TA, plus Salvatore is just a little bean in my belly in this pic, but you get the idea :)

Hello everyone,
I just found this thread and wanted to join in. Yesterday my DW & I booked on this cruise. We wanted to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary with something special and decided this would be it.
We have so many questions about this cruise, my head is swimming.
No. 1 is why the Disney Cruiseline website doesn't have much info about activities and excursions. We have been on the Wonder for DVC Member cruises but never on more than 4 nights.
We will be cat 9 stateroom #2576

champagne girls

They were a group of gals on our westbound Panama Canal Cruise. They brought bottled of champagne with them, and had arranged a space in one of the clubs on board to have a champagne tasting party while they wore tiaras.

During our PC Repo May 2008 cruise, a bunch of us (50 or so) got together and had Champage tasting. I don't think we have an instigator amoung us, but we do have members.

I could be convinced to create a rum and coke club if anyone wanted :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

we DO have 14 nights Nan...

Oops, I just noticed that the name above my pic is wrong! My name is Rachel. :goodvibes

And I don't see me and my dad on the list yet. No worries! These are a lot of pages to look through.

I'll check and see.. I just pulled the list from the other thread... that part I'm still working on... still don't want to be Sarah??? :confused3

champagne girls

They were a group of gals on our westbound Panama Canal Cruise. They brought bottled of champagne with them, and had arranged a space in one of the clubs on board to have a champagne tasting party while they wore tiaras.

(It probably would sound better if one of them told the story)

Or post a picture... (and an explanation...)

Champagne Girls started on the WB Panama Canal Repo last spring. UKANGEL and EllaEnchanted (Deb) started talking about how they loved bubbly - before you knew it - it grew and they started up a gathering of women and a few men... :rolleyes1 who just wanted to get together and taste some bubbly and visit... You had to wear pink.... you could drink anything you wanted or not - but the theme was bubbly. We had our mascot... Miss Sassy Bubbles (Cherie) who was dressed in Tink Pink and we had our own graphic - which will come back in my siggy as soon as my other photobucket account likes me again...

One of the women who was supposed to be on the cruise with us sent the champagne, but I think if we do it this time, we just chip in and order what the ship has...

Here is a picture of us in all of our Pinkish Glory...

It seemed to be sort of an "exclusive club"....possibly by special invitation? I had read of the champagne girls existence on the threads before the PC cruise, & I even had a cute pink shirt with me "just incase", but never heard of when or where they were getting together.

To hopefully avoid that situation, if any future similar type of "events" occur, it would be nice for the details to be announced somehow more effectively so any interested participants have a chance to join in rather than feel left out! Just some advice for the future. There may have been others that would have liked to participate also! princess:

Hope that made sense....it's definitely after midnight. :cutie:

I don't think there was any exclusivity about the event and I don't think it was by invitation either, rather it was by unabashed self-invitation and self proclamation as I recall.

The only thing about it was that it was gender specific.

Come on baby, name the time and place. Mano a mano!

I loved 'the boys' Teddy Roosevelt "I took the Isthmus" t-shirts!

I'll have to think up something for this cruise. I've got a year. It will come to me.

it made sense, and it WAS by invite (sign up) and there was a list and it did close. (not my idea, nor style) I suggested that champange be purchased on the ship , but it was ordered ahead of time and shipped aboard and that was why there was a cap on the # of people.

If it is done on this crusing, I'd agree with Michelle that the champange be purchased thru the ship.

The first one also had a dvd playing in the background by the vendor that supplied the vino.

I bet we could get a bar tender to talk it up if we really needed that aspect of the CGs.

All the being said, I DO NOT LIKE CHAMPANGE (unless it's Dom) so I'm not heading this up....Michelle are you gonna do it????

yes there was see above. and I think men should be able to come if they agree to wear a pink shirt....what a pot stirrer I am :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

It got closed off because of the amount of people attending - I think we had like 40-50 signed up... those in the picture are the ones who were there... I think it depended on how much wine was shipped (I wasn't involved in that...) but I think we can open it up to anyone and just order a few bottles... some tasted... others drank... others, well... :rolleyes: But it was fun... it's a smaller group I think, (well, maybe...) but I think that we should just order what's on the ship and go from there so we can all join in.

But it was crashed... you could have made an appearance... we didn't throw Bubba out now did we??? & John helped Deb do the presentation...

First Sprog... now Mano... How... multilingual... :confused3

Sounds good!!!

Nan... I think we have lots of time to plan... I think we can open it to all... we just have to get DCL to give us Diversions again or someplace to have it... (and you can bring all the run you want...)

OK, then I suppose I have to make the Edwardian Tea exclusive. I'll use a method, mainly based on whim as to who can attend and who cannot.

(You know, we used to have an annual Christmas tea party at our house. It was a popular event. The very last year we held it, we had 180 people at our house. That's 180 people for a tea party. And I do mean tea party. The ONLY beverage served was hot tea.

I remember people asking what we had to drink, and I responded, "You have anything you want to drink, so long as it's hot tea. We don't do no specials."

(The equally amazing thing is that I had tea cups and luncheon sets for 180).

why did you have tea service for 180????

and I figure that you'll let me know or not if I'm invited. I guess it will be based on my behavior the night before at dinner, or perhaps if I have accumulated enough brownie points over the whole trip, or better yet if you are SCARED of me :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

Champagne is not my most favorite beverage either (although I'm not opposed to some good sipping on occasion). It sounded like a fun thing to do & a way to get to know some of the others at the same time. :dance3:

10 teapots, and about 70 or so luncheon sets. We never really had 180 at one time, about 75 at a time. But we had, 180 people come to tea.

It was the gala winter event. Our tea party was famous. People clamored to get on the guest list.

I only wish I was exaggerating.

Actually it was a hoot. I think what shocked people so much was that they had such a great time and all they were drinking was tea. Plus chowing down on two long tables, packed with cake plates, and tiered cake plates of sweet and savory goodies.

That's a good idea! I'd love to be in a "party" of some sort, but even though I'll be 21 on the cruise I still won't drink. Or I suppose those of us who don't drink could have Sprite and pretend it's champagne. :laughing:

Sadly, we don't do the tea anymore. It got to be too much for me. I started baking the day after Thanksgiving, and then every free moment I had until the day before the party.

It was so bad that I had to create a project plan.

Hey all...

I'm a bit under the weather so if you are looking at the first page of the thread, I haven't had the chance to update and change a few things.

I did go through the old thread and gathered names (we have about 50 that were "booked" but I have to check and see if they are still with us... I will send PM's next week...) so if you see info that's not right... I probably just didn't change it yet.

The list of people and FE are just a list I copied from the other thread intending to update and change it... so I'll give you a heads up in a couple of days to go and check and see if I got it right...

SO glad to see this thread has taken off alot more than the first one did... I think we've got our groove and hey...it's not long before we'll be saying it's only a year away.... :thumbsup2

I'll let you know when I update... :)

I think we tossed around the idea of dining before, but I know we thought about getting as many as wanted together in the same area if not the same table (depending on what DCL can do for us...) That way we get to be together.

I know we shouldn't link dining until after we do the booking at 90 days out (and 105 for you... :goodvibes ) for excursions and Palo, etc... that screwed up DCL's computer last time... and we couldn't book if one was online at the same time as anyone else at their table...(thus the dreaded :fish: :fish: :fish: :fish: :fish: ) (although I know sneezing on Wednesdays totally throws their computers off!!!:rotfl: )

I'm a pariah too then, ya know...me and wil right there with ya....


I do agree with Michelle, best to link dinning after 90 days.

I was linked with a total of 25 peeps on NYE, it worked well, we had 4 tables together and mixed it up everynight and enjoyed lots of peoples company.

[LeftCoastLady]

You'll find that Nan's bite is worse than her bark.

Hmmm.... Are rabies shots recommended?? :laughing: :lmao: :rolleyes1

[LeftCoastLady]

check with Karl, he knows my story :cool2:


Karl who?? :confused3 :confused:
Tell me your story pretty please... it's always better first handed anyway. :goodvibes

[Tink rules]

Hmmm.... Are rabies shots recommended?? :laughing: :lmao: :rolleyes1

That's ok... we got her all her shots before the PC repo... ;)

(rum.... shots, of course...)

Karl who?? :confused3 :confused:

You'll have to bribe her... :woohoo:

[Ginamarie]

I think we tossed around the idea of dining before, but I know we thought about getting as many as wanted together in the same area if not the same table (depending on what DCL can do for us...) That way we get to be together.

I know we shouldn't link dining until after we do the booking at 90 days out (and 105 for you... :goodvibes ) for excursions and Palo, etc... that screwed up DCL's computer last time... and we couldn't book if one was online at the same time as anyone else at their table...(thus the dreaded :fish: :fish: :fish: :fish: :fish: ) (although I know sneezing on Wednesdays totally throws their computers off!!!:rotfl: )

Oh gosh- the swimming fishes-- I think we looked at those darned fish for like 8 hours last time, and we still couldn't get brunch at Palo! Hopefully we'll have better luck this time!!!

[iankh]

I'm a pariah too then, ya know...me and wil right there with ya....

Now we get a swimming Mickey... and I called DCL earlier for V to let her know that's it's MIDNIGHT (I forgot... sorry...after 5 hours of fishes... the brain cells go dead...) to do her Palo ressies and they had a prompt that you can hit #9 to complain about the website... and if you are having any problems... you would have thought they'd have had this figured out by now... :sad2:

I am looking more into the fligths and air lingues can be booked now, it would be 163 euro's pp for Barcelona to JFK and then since 2010 isn't out yet for kayak I put in the tuesday for this April and got $482.76 for 4 of us from JFK to Tamap.

[IngridRalph]

Are you sure air lingues is letting you book for 2010? I could choose dates in 2010 but when it went to the pricing screen I noticed the date said 2009. That is a great rate!

Hi there, thats cool!!! Jenna and a few of the girls on our last cruise became pen pals and were so excited to meet eachother on the cruise. Let me know if you are interested. :goodvibes

When I had checked airfiare, Aerlingus was the cheapest.

[iluvdisney]

I sure am hoping to get to do this cruise again - last time was so relaxing and so much fun with fellow DISers -

[Tink rules]

Mary... for those of us who are doing the TA for the first time, can you please give us a little recap of your trip and what you enjoyed? We'd love pictures too... :goodvibes :goodvibes

I clicked on the calendar for April 2010, but the one-way airfare quote is for April 24, 2009. Airfares are usually not available to be booked until ~ 330 days before the flight. Notice also that the flight to Dublin leaves at 10:50 a.m. You might want to do a stopover there on your way home. :)

**Just saw this at Aer Lingus's site: Flights can be booked for travel up to 330 days after today's date.

[lillygator]

well, it's been ok'd by the boss, so now a matter of booking - oh I guess I should ask samantha's school.

[iluvdisney]

I will have to update my first Trans-atlantic cruise when I have more time - I do have some pictures but all in all I can say that I would do it again in a heartbeat. Now I just have to hope it all works out.

Ok - I'm really considering this cruise -- rate is still really good so I may just bite the bullet & join. Glad to see some familier & friendly faces!

As I'm sure you've noticed - I've been critical of DCL's pricing for their 2010 Europe cruises. However, I think the two Transatlantic cruises are very well priced, and deliver a lot of Disney bang for the buck. Although I'm interested in the eastbound TA and my birthday falls during it - I probably won't be booking this one. I told my two daughters I'd take them to Europe in 2010 - and the younger one will still be in college while this cruise takes place.

Hi Nancy - I personally agree w/ you about the Baltic prices - but I do :lovestruc DCL & this looks like this cruise would be the only way for me to get on to the Magic in 2010.

Of course - Jackie (ibouncetoo) is trying to talk me into the Barcelona to Dover cruise :rotfl:

You could do both Transatlantic cruises for the price of the Barcelona to Dover cruise - not including the airfare! On the other hand - if you do both TA cruises, you could book a Barcelona-home flight for April and a home-Barcelona flight for September. Then you book a roundtrip to Orlando in April and home in October! :)

[cocoswife]

I posted on the original thread, it's been a while.

:)

Here is our info:

Me- Camille
DH- Coco
DD- Victoria- 19 months (by our cruise)

We are traveling with friends:

Clyde
Gwyn
DS- Gavin- He will turn 4 during our cruise

Claudio
Lily
DD- Catalina- 30 months

We are booked on cat 9, but, we are thinking of changing cabins.


I am interested in doing the FE, but, I'll have to check with Gwyn and Lily to see if they are interested. This will be our second DCL cruise, unless I can convince DH to cruise in 2009. We were on the inagural Med in 2007 and had the best time of our lives. We are really looking forward to the TA with all those seadays to enjoy the Magic. This will be our daughter's first cruise and we are telling everyone that she is going to Europe in 2010 with Mickey!
