.......KEY.......
REGISTRATION SURVEY for the following events--

CLICK HERE


I thought, for everyone's benefit I would do a recap of the events that have been planned as part of this cruise by folks on this thread.

DIS Dinner and Meet-up at Fishlips Restaurant, Sept 11, Night Before the Cruise Let the fun start early, the night before the cruise with a DIS dinner meet-up at Fishlips Restaurant. RSVP and your party will be added to the list. It will help with getting an accurate count so that a table or tables can be booked. For more information about Fishlips Restaurant click here.


:Pinkbounc CG-- Champagne Girls Tentatively scheduled for Sunday, September 13th, 2:00 p.m. at Diversions. This event is a champagne tasting.....we'll sample different champagnes ranging from dry to sweet and learn something about each of them. We would like everyone to wear PINK. Pink tiaras and boas will be provided. We will take a group picture. Our mascott is Sassy Bubbles and she will be dressed like a pink tink.....aka....Cheri. It's not necessary for everyone to drink champagne. We have tasters.....they will sample the champagnes. We have sippers....they will only have a little. We have non champagne drinkers....they can order whatever they want. There will be an additional charge to participate, but it will be minimal....usually $10 for tasters and $5 for sippers....no charge for non champagne drinkers. We'll try to keep it in this price range. Pictures will be available at Shutters for purchase separately. Deb will need to know the size of the group so that she can make appropriate plans with DCL and have sufficient champagne.


:bounce:SATS -- Shot's Around the Ship will take place on Sunday night, September 13th, at about 10-ish PM
. You can drink whatever you want, water, soda, or rot-gut. When we're ready, as a group, we'll move on to another bar on the ship. It is meant to be just a relaxed way for folks to get together and chat. Many of my friends on this cruise, I first met at Shots Around the Ship on another cruise. The count of respondents will provide information to make sure that DCL has our first venue staffed appropriately for the size of the gathering.


:tiptoe: Fish Extenders. This is a little gift exchange, and it can be a lot of fun and full of surprises. A count of cabins and people will be needed in advance, so that the exchange can be organized, goodies purchased, etc.

WOW--WALKING ON WATER is meant to be a way to keep active on board ship. I am planning on going for a long walk everyday and invite others to join me. I will be asking a bit more below, so I can get a better idea of what folks are looking for. This is the first time I've planned this sort of activity.

To express an interest in participating in any of the above click here. Your interest will be shared with the appropriate organizer. This particular survey will close at midnight on July 12th.

Checkin In... Nice Job.. ::yes::

:thumbsup2



I believe JsMom2 will NOT be with us.. Her & her daughter switched cruises.. I will ask her.. We were on ALL the same cruises at 1 time
 
Reporting in! Thanks for starting the new thread Jan!
 


I'm here! :cool1:

Now to go check into the WBPC thread...btw Jan-we'll keep you up to date if anything major happens :thumbsup2
 
Reporting in! Thanks for starting the new thread Jan!

Me too!!! Thanks Jan :thumbsup2
Hope everyone has had a Happy Holiday Season :goodvibes I'm going to try to find more time to check in and keep in touch with you all. I'm really looking forward to this cruise!

Vicki, hi! I see you posted recently on the old thread. I am still doing the B2B. You too?

Kathe
 
Hi everyone,
OK, I am ready to thinking about the cruise. I didn't see anyone post about the B2B cruises. How many people are doing the B2B? I read somewhere that you do have to get off the ship, and clear customs, and then you can get back on the boat in about an hour or so-is this correct? We get to keep the same cabin:yay: :yay: , so that will save a lot of trouble.
As far as info about myself: On the cruise will be me (53) and my DH (61). Someone keeps changing those numbers on me every year:confused3 :goodvibes . Our children are of the 4-legged variety..2 adorable longhaired miniature dachshunds named Katie and Allie. This is our 3rd cruise with Disney. We have main dining, and will be in cabin 7400.....Vicki

Hi Kathe!!!!!!!
Yes, I am doing the B2B--I am so glad you are going also. I read about your great Christmas with your family:) Maybe I will get to go on an entire excursion with you this trip :thumbsup2 ..Vicki
 
You rang?

:sad2: Hey mister, time to start planing THIS adventure, along with the pre-cruise week at WDW. I think the WBPC kids might be tired of us talking about it.

hey WHERE'S CHERI?

she hasn't returned my phone call, carnflabbit!

So far no DISers have listed their ages on the first post, so I left that off for you too. If you WANT it there, I can add it any time. Let me know.

You are the first to specify dinner seating so I added that. Perhaps others will want to do that also.

I have put an asterisk in front of the entry of all the posters so far. That way we can easily see who we have and have not heard from.

:yay: To everyone: check to see what info is included in post one for others and that your entry is right. Let me know if you have additions or changes. :thumbsup2

Also--any photos you want included in post two--post them here for me to move.

THANKS!

Jan :)
 
We have 2nd seating for dinner with a request for 8pm, but won't know for sure til we get on the ship and see our dinner tickets..

We will be cruising with friends & their family.. We have a total of 6 adults and 4 kids.. 2 adults & 1 kid are 1st time cruisers.. so like the rest of us, they will be spoiled forever by DCL over all other cruiselines.. :rolleyes1

Our son, will be in his 2nd year of college and not able to Cruise with us :sad1:

We have not planned any excursions just yet but we are planning on checking them out over the weekend and discussing them..

We are going to try to get Palo for dinner and I have no hopes of a High Tea, since this will be our 10th DCL cruise and never have be fortunate enough to get a Tea reservation.. :sad2:

If there is a FE exchange.. I will participate.. If everyone is going to be too busy then that's fine too..
