February 1, 2013- 4 night Magic from Galveston

Another question, sorry.. I lurked the whole board and couldn't find an answer..

When we get off the boat in Cozumel what do we take with us to get back on the Ship? is it our ID's and KTTWC for adults and just KTTWC for the kids?? I'm clueless

When we board the ship I put my DL in my lanyard right behind my KTTW card. Both of those are needed to come back on board for the adults and just the KTTW for the kids.

We just booked this cruise today! We just got off the 14 day Panama Canal cruise on the Wonder on Dec 23. We had so much fun we booked this cruise to take our two granddaughters. We would love to be on the FE list. It is Dave, Sherry, Maddie(6) and Tori (4). I will go back and read the pages tonight and then ask questions. Hooray cruising again! Sherry

So glad you were able to book along with us.
Can't wait to talk to you about the Panama Canal cruise.

Just a small update for y'all.

At this point in time we have 21 cabins on the FE list.

In this group we have 28 children

There are 18 girls ages 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16

There are 10 boys ages 3, 3, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 11, 13


There are 2 staterooms that have extra adults in them. I have 2 adult children with me and Heather (snarkyhouston) has her adult sister in an additional stateroom. (Just wanted to be sure everyone knew those cruisers were not children)

I have contacted all that I needed info from by e-mail or pm and a recap of those:

bcdavi need 2 stateroom #'s

madmommy17 need stateroom #

rhollis need 2 stateroom #'s

skayrobe need stateroom #



If any of you are waiting on a stateroom # like mstee777 is just let me know and send it to me as soon as you can.

My plan right now is to send out the list as is no later than New Years Day.

Got a little more info today, so it is included above in red. As Moe said since they have 2 staterooms side by side he was going to put the FE between them to be the one for the family.

I finished reading the pages for this cruise. It is going to be a great cruise.

The last two Disney Cruises I took we had a meet and greet on sail away day in the Promenade Lounge on Deck 3 at 3:00. We had plenty of time to update room numbers in case anyone buys an upgrade at port, and say Hi before the mandatory Muster Drill. Can't wait for this cruise. Sherry

Just a reminder to everyone about your door decorations. There is a crackdown on door decorations with tape or other sticky products. Use magnets only. Make sure the magnets are strong enough to stick to these metal doors that have several layers of paint. Just remembered this from my Dec cruise. Sherry

We have talked about a meet and greet and I had thought about that Lounge (just could not remember the name).

I don't know everyone's arrival time. I know a few are going to be late for their kids in school, but that is also a time we had a meet on our last Wonder and Fantasy cruise and it does give some time before the drill.

So how does everyone feel about the Promenade Lounge on Deck 3 at 3:00, for a quick meet?

Sounds like a plan!

3 pm sounds good to us!

now that christmas is over I can start thinking about the cruise....almost. I go to WDW two weeks from today to run the marathon but I want to get as much done as I can before I go.

I just told my husband the news about the Super Bowl on Feb 3. We are sure it will be on the funnel vision at Goofys pool as well as in Diversions bar. We will have fun wherever we are. sherry

We won't be on board yet (pesky kids in school!!), but I can plan to meet up with towcats later to get the updated sheet. I highly doubt we will be upgraded since we are booked with KSF in an interior. Twocats, maybe you could PM me your cell #, and I can call you in case we are upgraded (we should be checking in right around 3, so I should know by then, we just won't be on board yet)? Sorry for boarding so late. We are already on thin ice with the school district since we pulled the boys out for 3 and half days for WDW. --Katie

You are the main one I figured would not be able to join us and I know you need to keep the school district happy.

I will send you my cell phone later, I don't usually turn it off until we are out to sea. Then it goes off and I become untethered!!!

Just a reminder in case you are bringing wine or other alcohol on board to keep in your room's cool box. It has to be carried onboard in your hand luggage. You cannot send it in your luggage that goes to your room.
We had a glass of wine in our stateroom before dinner most nights. ( not sure how well that will work with the granddaughters!). We also had a party in front of the Walt Disney Theater the last night to get of all our extra wine. It was great , we ordered cheese trays(my favorite) from room service(it's free) and a great time saying goodbye to new friends. Sherry

Kathy- Will you have 2 fe's for your 2 rooms? or just 1 for both rooms?

My DD who is 6 wants to bring one of her Disney Princess gowns(cinderella or snow white) for those of you who have cruised with DCL are there many little girls dressed up in the gowns at dinner? Will she be the only one?

 

[skayrobe]

There will be so many little girls in Princess gowns it looks like a fairy tale. They are so very cute. You can have your princess's picture taken with any princess on the ship. Get in line early because they do cut off the lines for pics. So many chances for photo ops. Sherry

 

[skayrobe]

If you are thinking of buying your princess a dress from the gift store on board , they are about 65.00. The Disney store .com has many of them on sale now during their clearance sale. sherry

Can you even imagine a boat full of Texans watching the Texans play in the Super Bowl??!!! That would be a crazy, loud, fun afternoon!!! --Katie
