If Carol K or Barbara H are here (not sure if it's okay to post last names), please pm me and let me know if you still want to do the Afternoon Tea and give me your stateroom numbers. We're still waiting for DCL to give us day and time. Thank you!

Champagne Girls!!

This is it! The grand tradition of pink boas, tiaras, girl-talk and of course, champagne, continues!

It goes like this, we get together, drink champagne, talk, drink champagne, wear pink, drink champagne, wear tiaras, and - did I mention - drink champagne. We will reserve one of the lounges onboard, one afternoon on a sea day, and sample several different types of sparkling wine. Time, day, place, and cost TBD. Once we know all of that, everyone will need to confirm their participation via email. Cost will be charged to your room and will be non-refundable (probably around $30, give or take a bit). In the past, the number of participants has been limited due to room capacity regulations. (I want to say it was around 40 last time, but my memory is a bit hazy.) If we get more than the allotted number of participants, we will start a wait list or possibly organize a second group (but don't count on that - DCL only has so much space to allocate to private activities, so sign up early). This is for women only, no men allowed! You must be over 21 at the time of the cruise to participate. (Please don't ask if you can bring your underage children or traveling companions along, and put me in the awkward position of saying, "no.") PM me here to sign up!

WBTA 2015 CELEBRATIONS!!

Many of us will be celebrating events like birthdays and anniversaries during the cruise. If you would be interested in joining a card exchange and/or a celebration lunch on a sea day, please PM me here. (Date and place of the lunch to be determined. You will be able to change your participation if the date does not work for you.)

Welcome to the group! I think most events are closed. Contact Pflamingo to see if you can still join, you need 10 posts to private message another member.

Only 3 weeks until we sail!

Oh, dear. Is it really too late to join and sign up for events? This is our first Disney Cruise, but we have cruised many times before. We have always gotten to know passengers through the Cruise Critic Roll calls and helped organize afternoon tea, meet and greets, shore excursions, etc. We were wondering why that roll call was so small and didn't seem to have anything going. We just now figured out that you were all over here having a great time without us! Please can we join you?

Pat, I am new here, but not new to the sadness of losing someone beloved, having lost all of our parents. We were sad to hear that you are grieving now. The best way that I know to process grief is on a cruise! In fact, our first cruise was in response to feeling kind of numb after a year where we lost two parents, gained a baby, and my husband nearly died. We did a repositioning one then, and just purposed to do tons of walking the decks, sleeping, praying, talking. I stepped off the ship with my heart restored. I hope that a repositioning cruise will give you the pause you need to regather your strength too. I'll be praying for you.

My apologies for not replying here recently. After spending the last 18 days away from home, getting my father settled into an assisted living facility and all that entails (pray you never have to do that) after a recent heart attack, I am sad to report that he passed away this morning.

The FE exchange closed on August 8 and CG Girls is also closed as we are over capacity and have a wait list. I will be emailing FE lists as soon as I finish them - working on them right now, as a distraction. I will also post the info about CG girls as soon as I have it. A friend of mine has offered to help with that, so that I can finish FE lists.

Please be patient. I will have this info as soon as possible.

Hi Molly, Karen and Ed, Delighted to see some others are coming from Oregon too! We are a family of 6 (3 generations) from Portland and Vancouver. We are just joining this group, being new to Disney, but having enjoyed cruising before. My daughter assures me that Disney is too wonderful, even compared to the cruises we have done. We're looking forward to seeing our grandkids have fun (ages 2 and 4) which will add to our own enjoyment. Hope to meet you aboard the Magic!

Welcome aboard, Molly!! This trip is really going to be an adventure for you!

There are lots of friendly people here who can give you any advice or info you'd like as far as cruising or traveling to Europe goes. Poohluv4u (aka, Karen and her DH Ed) are from Oregon, too. I'm sure they'd be happy to tell you anything you need to know about flights and all from out there.

Hi all. Unfortunately things had to close so that organisers can contact DCL to organise. I know it can be frustrating but there is still the meet on the first day to get involved in and there will be lots of other opportunities on the ship too. Definitely worth getting up 10 posts though and PMing people asap. - and feel free to type 1 ...2... etc in separate posts to get there

PFlamingo · Aug 30, 2015

Champagne Girls is closed, and in fact is over the max for the venue, so we're not even doing a wait list at this point.

You may still be able to get in on the FE, depending on how many people have extra gifts available. It closed on Aug 8, but sometimes people do have extras to share. Pm me when you get to 10 posts.

I'm in Orlando for my father's funeral and dealing with estate matters, but will get back to you as soon as I can.

Thank you for your kind words. My mom passed away two years ago, and I still grieve for her. Dad was 90 and had Parkinson's and a bad heart, but still seemed invincible.

As "gizmo"

mentioned, there is a meet up on the first day. I believe we said 3:00 in the Promenade Lounge. We're also doing linked dining, where we arrange with DCL to be on the same rotation and sit in the same area of the dining rooms. I can still add you to that. Once you have 10 posts, send me a pm and I'll tell you what I need for that. I don't like asking people to post personal info on the forum.

You can just post stuff like, "#5", "#6", etc. til you get to 10. We've all done it.

7. Whoever thought up this 10 post rule?

Debbie on Dawson · Aug 30, 2015

8. It's like some sort of fraternity hazing to prove you really, really want to join.

10. There should be confetti!

Debbie on Dawson · Aug 30, 2015

Hi everyone, I've done my 10 posts, but can't see how to PM Pat, nor how to change my drab grey icon for something colorful. I went to my profile and it says I don't have permission. Is that 100 posts ahead?.
