Does anyone know what night Pirate Night is???

I called today to check on that, and I was told that Pirate night is on Monday the 28th.

Its my first time going on a cruise and on the cruise they will be playing Christmas music?

Last time we did a merry time cruise they played Disney music on embarkation day and Christmas music the rest of the time. (I'm talking about the background music heard throughout the ship)

Yes but you will have to be up to 10 posts as we are keeping most info private. Feel free to post here or http://www.disboards.com/forums/test-board.88/ to get your numbers up. The only other info I need is a room # and an email to send the list to but I wouldn't post that here as it is a public forum. Optional info is any allergies and favorite characters. You could always take each person and list characters as that would be at least 4 posts right there

We are in room

SAM's Club has $500 Disney gift cards for $475.. For those that have used them before on the cruise, do you recommend pre-loading them to our cruise account or saving them to pay our bill before we disembark?

Thanks

If you plan on charging everything to your room, load it to that account. If you plan on spending that much in the gift store, keep it if it will make it easier. I would load it to my account.

Very cute.

First timers don't feel bad if you missed out on a Cabana because you didn't log in at midnight. We're Silver Castaway Club members and all the Cabanas were gone before the 95 day mark when we could book stuff - and I did log in immediately when we hit the eligibility time.

 

[dytx]

Just a reminder, we have cabana #1 at castaway cay and are looking to share it and split the cost with a couple or a 3 person party. We are senior citizens with an adult son in a wheelchair

I was thinking about getting a gift card also, but if we add the gift card there on board and we exceed the amount of $500.00 will it go on my credit card first instead of the gift card?

All onboard credit(from gift card, a TA or other) is used first and then they switch to a credit card. Say you have $500 onboard credit from a gift card and your bill is $750- they will only charge the remaining balance of $250 to a credit card.

Ok. Thank you for explaining that. I was a little confused when I did my check in!

9 more weekends to go until we set sail! What are your cruise prep plans for the weekend? I'm heading to the store...supposedly for the usual essentials, but who knows what else I'll come home with. I also need to add our daughter's pocket to our FE. Her embarkation day shirt should arrive soon--I hope it looks okay. Thinking back on it, I think I should have picked a different color...oh well!

Went grocery shopping at the local Walmart and had to talk myself out of buying the backpacks of Frozen sand toys on clearance. I don't have many Frozen fans so I could walk away. Now I need to drive a bit to go to the nearest Target and Sam's. I have to get more gift cards and more FE stuff cause people change characters on me Good thing I like to shop!

Squirt (my nickname for our daughter) does like Goofy too--what I originally put down on our FE info...please don't feel like you have to go get something else for her--it's okay!! I jus changed it because She took a recent liking to a stitch stuffed animal in her room; she even sleeps with it now and loves the Stitch that's attached to her diaper bag.

Now how did you know I was talking about you? It's all good, I love a reason to shop. Plus it was a bonus that what I wanted was at the first store I went to. If I was crafty I would have made something, but I'm not so thanks to all my local stores and Etsy!

Etsy is a very dangerous place for my bank account! I'm attempting to be crafty. I'm hoping to make a craft for the little ones in our group, and I'm using my daughter as a guinea pig

 

[Huskiesrule]

I'm glad that all I have left is to separate, pack and label the FE stuff. With a little over two months to go, hopefully time will go quicker. Now I wonder if they will put our cruise on sale or if it sold well enough that they won't?

Happy Monday! Only 9 more Mondays to go!! It looks like the Wonder is safely nestled in her dry dock berth in Caldiz. I believe we're the third sailing after dry dock, so hopefully all the kinks will be worked out. It looks like DCL allotted more time for this dry dock than they did for the Magic reimagining.
