Disneylovers-

My husband is going to do the scuba dive too!! He is going diving in a few weeks to get a dive in since it has been almost two years since he last went and needs to get that in to be able to go. The boys and I will probably just hang out on the boat or go over to the Atlantis.

Disneylover-

I spoke to soon. The scuba excursion booked up before I got reservations. He still is hoping for a cancellation. Do they have any kind of wait list or cancellation list or do I need to just keep checking to see if a spot is available? If by chance your husband decides not to go, let me know so that I can watch for that spot.

Where is everyone staying the night before? We are leaving home on Friday and getting to PC late Saturday afternoon. We are staying at the Raddison.

Wow!!! I'm surprised it filled up so quickly!!! I'm not sure about a wait list. DH did this on our first cruise six years ago, and it wasn't even full then! Sorry, no chance he'll cancel. Besides Divequest at Epcot, this is the only chance he gets to dive, and he's really looking forward to it!!! Keep checking, there may be cancellations.

P.S., sorry it took me so long to respond, I never received the email notification that there were replies to this post!! It's been a busy week, but it looks like I better check on this more often!!!!

Since we're DVC members, we're staying at one of our "homes" - SSR the night before, and using Disney's bus to take us to the port. We won't arrive as soon as I'd like, but it will be fun to start our vacation off in true Disney style!

Hi Tammy, welcome!!! Since you're new to cruising, you can book your excursions at the 75 day mark (or, March 25th if I'm figuring things correctly). Once you cruise, you become a member of the Castaway Club, which has a number of "perks", one being, on any future cruise you take, you can book excursions at the 90 day mark.

ONLY 82 MORE DAYS

Where are we staying the night before? HOME!!!

Just 30 minutes from the port.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!!

 

[luv2boys]

Hoppy Easter!!

 

[misseulalie]

We were on the bottom on page 3! The cruise is in just over 2 months!!

We have spring break this week, so we will be going to WDW a couple of times, and visit Jetty Park to watch the ships leave.

 

[magiclover41]

Are any of you planning on hanging fish extenders?

 

[misseulalie]

Don't know.... if I knew we could do a Dis board gift exchange for the kids, I would.

(This is where we get a count of the Dis board kids and ages and then we buy little trinkets (cute pencils, candy, etc) and surprise the kids with little gifts in the fish extenders.

When we were on the Transatlantic, we had so many people participate, the kids got multiple goodie bags everyday!!!

 

[magiclover41]

I'm in!

 

[misseulalie]

Who else????

Basically we post our kids first names and ages. (also if your child has an allergy such as peanuts or chocolate.) Then once we compile the amount of kids, we spread out the "givers" by day. For example, if we have 12 Dis'ers giving treats, we spread them out over the 4 days. 3 Dis'ers treats per day.

Again, nothing too expensive. The dollar store has great little gifts, Oriental Trading, clearance bins...
Most treat bags included pencils, chocolate coins, mini erasers, fun pens, stickers, glow sticks, fruit snacks, notepads, bubbles, etc...)

 

[luv2boys]

I'll do it. Mine are Nicholas age 12 and Jared age 9.

I'm not bringing my little one (16 months), but DH and I would love to spread some magic, if that's ok.
