I have never been on a Disney cruise, or any for that matter, and this is my first time on a Disney forum, or any , for that matter. I have however, been to DL and WDW several times, we are going to DL this weekend. I get 'looks' from my family for bringing home cups, mickey head plates form the child's menu(I have no young children). I either ask for them or 'find' them wherever someone else has left them. One of my fav is a plastic wine glass from DCA. I have complete sets. When we stayed at the Saratoga, I took all the paper plates home with me. We also self- toured the Grand Floridian (did not stay there) and asked for some of the shampoo, etc from the carts, and took a few extra. I was so happy to find this thread because my husband thinks I'm nuts.It's nice to know others think the same as I do. We are going on our first cruise together in Nov out of Galveston and I don't expect to change much before then. I will continue to bring back as much of whatever souveniers I can find, acquire, etc. I am not above dumpster diving. People throw away the most useful items! As far as the item in the stroller, all I can say is we all have our own standards. What I have done, someone else may not approve of, and vice versa. This is not a judging site, but a sharing site. I am happy to be here. And can't wait for my cruise experience

WELCOME!

I posted earlier that I can't stand to throw anything away that has a DCL logo on it. Matches, pens and even those paper cover things they put on the glasses in the stateroom!

It was fun while it lasted.

Nobody was hurt or put in danger and it didn't directly impact you, so why the need to call someone out?

Stealing is bad. We all know that. But if you're going to comment on that one, why not all the other confessions of theft. Plates, glasses, H2O products, etc. I'm guessing those items had about the same dollar value as the items taken by that small child.

My guess is that you just didn't like the "tone" of that post. Maybe because the items were taken from a shop versus the dining room? Either way, sad reason to spoil the thread.

Word!...sorry if I took over the thread earlier, debbie downers irritate me..on to the confessions!

The fe regifting is HI-larious! What do people really do with all that stuff!!??!!

 

[Cptnkirky]

I have a new confession (to try and keep the thread going) that seems to get weird looks when I do it each cruise - I don't like wearing my bathing suit onto the ship on embarkation day, so I just bring it packed and then change into it in the bathroom by the pool. I actually don't know why this gets weird looks - I DO go into the stall, for Pete's sake - but each and every time I always get some weird glances as I walk out with my clothes in hand and a suit and cover up on.

Wonder why? This is what my family and I have done on all cruises for over 20 years.... strange! Who wants to wear their bathing suit all day, through a flight, bus trip to the port, checkin, lunch, etc; with the possibility it might be raining!? not me

Moving on while name calling?

 

[EPCOTatNight]

My confession is that I ignore what other people are wearing in the MDR's. I don't know if anyone is wearing shorts, tank tops, or slippers. I'm perfectly ok with wearing a suit while others around me dine in their robes.

P.S. Mods, please don't close.

 

[DCLcruisefan]

Okay, I'll admit it. I was young and I cried while disembarking my first Disney cruise, which was also my very first cruise.

 

[sweetpee_1993]

My confession:


I don't like dressing up for dinner. I do it in a tolerant way but I don't enjoy it. In January we spent the bucks and bought formals. Yes, BOUGHT. 3 tuxes and a gown. We had 3 cruises for this year so we figured it was a safe investment of the money. Riiiiight. We wore the formals for about an hour on our January cruise for pics. We then unanimously decided it wasn't worth the discomfort, changed back to shorts, & hit up Topsiders for dinner. We didn't even bother hauling the stuff on our May cruise. Hubby & I won't be bringing that mess with us in September and I highly doubt any of it sees the outside of my closet on Allure in November.

I don't like how long MDR dinners take. So many other things I'd rather be doing.

Let the flaming begin.

 

[kuhltiffany]

We have 2 food allergies in our family (one can be fatal), so most of the food/candy I find in our FE we can't use. On each cruise we've taken, I've discovered FE's not on our Cruise sign-ups when I'm out delivering. I take note of these and drop our candy into those...

WELCOME!!!

you chose a strange thread to make your debut post...most people are full of questions first!

doesn't matter....we are glad to have you aboard!

That's a nice plan.

 

[Gracies Moms]

I guess I should admit along with you...I wasn't young (38) and I cried as we we were introduced and stepped aboard the Wonder this past April.

And again when my 3 yo daughter ran into her first Princess (Tiana).

 

[PizzieDuster]

I'm posting this now while people are "discussing" something different.

Maybe no one will notice.

*SPEAKING REALLY REALLY FAST SO YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND* I reused my #2 Boarding Pass on our second cruise. Whew.

I was going to take that one to the grave. But I felt it was a good time to confess

Now you can't do that. Back in the old days they handed out the same cards. I didn't plan to keep it, they just didn't ask for it back on our very first 4 day, I just kept it with my navigators.

It is safely secured in my scrap book now. I did NOT sell it on EBAY

Jeez, I feel like I took one for the team, stay on topic. Love this thread Don't flame me. I can't take it from my daughter (was 10 min late picking her up today~oh the horror) then come here on a fun thread and get it.

I think that is great alittle extra

 

[figment52]

I confess the same! I really wanted to participate in the FE exchange but just couldn't think of something cute and then to make 20-30 of them and get them on the ship and then deliver them. it just became to much for me.

I am just the opposite - I find ideas, make them and then do not sign up for the FE exchange because I don't want to take the time to deliver then. I will pack some of them and then just drop them in random FE's if I see them in normal travels on the ship. I have a good size box full of assorted gifts ready to go - lol.

I have wanted to wear pjs to the dining room, but been afraid to (people would flame throw).

 

[dibond38]

I don't really like the towel animals except the monkey and it bothers me when they use my stuff on the animals. We do save the monkey and let him hang in the room. The others are quickly turned back into towels.

I also hoard the night time chocolates. I even got the room steward to leave extras on our last trip. Yum.

Yes. This. Allergies!

I cry on boarding. I cry when I leave. I cry when I see the castle.
I just always thought everyone did that.

There was one lady last cruise who did this every night. To each their own.

Chocolates. With no ingredients list.
So none of us eat them between allergies, etc. I've always left a neat little stack on the dresser by the closet.

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet but I wore my PJ's to watch POTC on pirate night
