DISMEET
Embarkation Day (Day 1, May 6) at 3:00pm
Meet at the Promenade Lounge, Deck 3 for a meet and greet of your fellow cruisers. Bring any stateroom changes to the FE leader at that time. Get your GREEN on!
Here is info on the history of lime green and the dis. http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=9403489&postcount=22
KIDS DISMEET
Embarkation Day (Day 1, May 6) after lunch at the Mickey Pool. Weather permiting.
CHAMPAGNE GIRLS
Get your PINK on!
--We'll meet the second day at sea (Day 4, May 9) at 3:00 pm in the Promenade Lounge.
--We'll just individually order from the bar (doesn't have to be champagne or even an alcoholic drink). Being a CG is a 'state of mind,' not what you drink.
--Keep the CG tradition going by getting your PINK on! Be sure to wear pink and a pink feather boa and a tiara. (Check out Party City, Michael's, Total Crafts, etc. for an inexpensive boa and tiara.)
--Bring your camera for some great pictures.
FYI: Technically, 'Champagne Girls' just means two or more adult (over 21) girls getting together to drink champagne on a DCL cruise. It started a few years ago on DIS and the tradition just keeps evolving.
One tradition that marks the gathering as a true 'Champagne Girls' meet is that everyone wears pink and, if they want, a pink feather boa and a tiara.

STATEROOM CRAWL
Organized by WestCoastNovaks - If anyone is interested in showing off their stateroom, please PM her and let her know what type of stateroom you are in! Anyone can join in on the crawl, just to take a look at the cabins, they don't have to volunteer their cabin for viewing.
RECIPE EXCHANGE
*tinker*bell* is organizing, more info is coming.
ROAMING MICKEY
Roaming Mickey is now full. What is Roaming Mickey? It's a big magnet with Roaming Mickey and Ports of call on it, with short instruction and plenty of room for you to sign it.
What I need to do? It's quite simple. We will start the Roam by placing the Roaming Mickey magnet on someone's door. With a magnet will be a list of participating staterooms and pens. You need to sign the magnet, cross over your stateroom # and put it on someone else's door who has not signed it yet. At the end of the cruise the last person will return it to the door of the room number printed on the magnet. If I get it back by the end of the cruise I'll take a picture and share it with you once we get home so you can see where Roaming Mickey was and print it out.
ROAMING JESSICA RABBIT
It's the same idea as the Roaming Mickey, but with the sultry Jessica Rabbit. PM vz9p57 if you are interested in joining this activity. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=47428061#post47428061

Please PM yukongirl123 here or on FB, if you would like to participate. yukongirl123 will supply all participants with a list of tasks and/or questions. These will be passed out during the DIS meet on embarkation day. You will have the entire cruise to gather objects and find answers to the questions, there may even be a puzzle or two. On the last sea day, you can bring all your items to the Promenade Lounge (time to be determined at a later date) for verification. There will be a grand prize for the person/team with the most points. If you can't make it to the DIS meet I will ensure that you receive a copy during the first or second day of the cruise. If you don't get a copy, let yukongirl123 know - she will be in room [????] Please PM her with DIS name, real name and room number.

CRAFTERS COVE
Crafters meet for "stitch & chat" at 3 pm on sea days up in the Outlook Bar on whichever side is available. Not everybody needs to be stitching but it makes a quiet, childfree, "reset" hour in the middle of the day. We welcome knitters, crocheters, crossstitchers, scrapbookers, quilters, jewelry makers, and just plain chatters. No list for that, either.
GAME NIGHT(S)
Calling all geeks and gamers! We've got fourteen nights on this voyage. Who'd like to get some game on?
I'm thinking about a flash-mob style loosely organized gathering in Diversions to play some solid games. I'm a fan of "euro games" like Carcassone, Puerto Rico, Dominion, and so on. I'm not adverse to Cards Against Humanity, either.
If we want to get really geeky, we can throw together a one-shot roleplaying game.
Who's interested? PM Meghatron if you are! (Also no need to PM if you already responded on FB.)
FOG (AKA GEEZERS AND GIT(Geezers in Training)) GET TOGETHER
Join us at the Cove cafe at 9:30 each evening for hot milk
and cookies. We are a loosely organized group. Some nights after too much fun we are in bed by 9:00. 
CALLING ALL HOMESCHOOLERS
(and all who want to discuss homeschooling)
DAY 3: May 8th
2:00pm
Promenade Lounge
My thoughts are that I want it early on so we can get to know each other sooner rather than laters and I picked the Promenade because I couldn't find the hours of operation for anywhere else that allowed children. If it's crowded we can move or something. And this doesn't have to be a one time thing.
Keep my cabin number handy with any thoughts about this... 7040, heatherLOVESmickey
