Very nice!! Did you know you can go down to the duty free shop and sample their perfumes?

 

[Minniemiss]

Thats great to know. Since it's ours first DCL cruise I have no idea who some things work. I'm sure my kids will enjoy clubs better then sitting at the dinner for 2 or more hours.

So when you mention to the waiter that kids are going to the club, they call people from the club? That sounds great, specially if they get dinner right away without waiting too long.

Just let your server know. I don't think they call, the clubs just automatically make the rounds each evening. Ask the server what time they usually come, this way you can also keep an eye on the entryway for when they show up. Sometimes your server might be busy and won't be able to come to your table to let you know they are there. If I remember correctly it was about 9:00.

No! I didn't know that.

LOL. But, I'm all about the freebies. They'll start to know me by name and ask if I want the usual

The Butterfly Farm


St Thomas With great regret, we announce the upcoming closing of The Butterfly Farm on July 10th. 2010

The info is in the right hand column. I wonder why DCL hadn't updated their site?

They make bags that roll out the air to be used for packing suitcases. No vaccuum needed. They work well but everything gets wrinkled.

 

[mommywa]

You know.....I'm wondering if Disney does anything special for Mother's Day??

They didn't in '08. I'm not sure if they have added anything since then.

[Whisky In A VAse]

Well planning is going on, can't book anything till the 75 day marker but thing are coming together nicely...

Just about to order my FE once my daughter can finally decide what she wants it to look like...

Is anyone else arranging for the pillow cases to be signed by all the characters
on board?

I have also seen lots of threads on decorating the doors? Although I am not planning on going overboard, I will be doing something for the doors.

Any body else thinking of doing any of the above?

Not long now.....

I'm not but I brought a photo mat on our last cruise. I just had it in a bag with the markers I wanted them to use and a few bags of candy. Just dropped it off at guest services the first evening and it reappeared in my stateroom before the cruise ended.

I don't think I got my markers back so I don't recommend dropping off any that you're really attached to. It was really painless and a great souvenir.

 

[rusafee1183]

Good Morning everyone.

Well, it's freezing here. I woke up this morning ready to be sitting poolside with a fruity cocktail in one hand and my Nook in the other.

I realized that none of us really told anyone anything about ourselves yet, so I'll start.

I'm Heather, I'm 27 years old and will be turning 28 in St Thomas on May 11th! I'm married to Bob, who will be 26 when we sail. We'll be married for 3 years on May 3rd and we live about 15 minutes south of downtown Pittsburgh. (My poor Steelers... )

We have no kids ... yet.... not sure when/if that's happening. We LOVE Disney, as I'm sure everyone here does and we went there for our honeymoon in May 2008, 1st Anniversary in 2009 and then again in September 2010. We decided to take a break from the parks for a while, either a year or two or until we have kids and can take them, Whichever comes first.

Well planning is going on, can't book anything till the 75 day marker but thing are coming together nicely...

We are definitely decorating our door, but I'm not sure to what extent yet. I'm really excited to do this, I have been checking out some of the threads about how to make the Mickey ears for above your door. I want to make at least one set, but not sure where to start. Everyone makes it sound like this is so easy, but we'll see. I'm not the best with computers. I do have a bunch of Disney related magnets that we have picked up in our trips, so they will be coming with us!

We are not doing pillow cases, because it's just the 2 of us, and as far as the FE - we're still up in the air about it.... but probably not.

 

[Lexa]

I just ordered FE three days ago.....then I was thinking about pillow case and at the end decided we will go with photo mat.

I have all my graphics together for doors, but I didn't print them out yet. I need peace and quiet but kids are having Snow day after snow day...so I might work on magnets more next week.

I need to wait till 75 day marker too

 

[MinnieMeg]

You forgot to add me to the list

Sorry Lexa, all fixed. I copied it from an older list.


I still have to request and/or create the decorations for our door. We found they were really helpful for identifying our door in an "unending" row of similiar doors.

 

[FLUFFYCAT]

Hi everyone. Sorry I have not been on this board in awhile. My family would love to do the fish extenders. Please add us to the list. This is our third Disney cruise and we have always done the FE. My kids say it is one of their favorite things to do. My family is Darlene Mikolajczyk ( Me) 43 years, Mark Mikolajczyk (husband) 48 years, Kyle Mikolajczyk (son) 11 years and Colton Mikolajczyk(son) 7 years. My oldest son is in college and will not be able to come. We are from Mahwah, New Jersey and are driving down to the Port. Can anyone recommend a family beach to go to in St. Maarten? I look forward to meeting everyone.

 

[mommywa]

OK, what is the whole FE thing about??? This is my 3rd cruise, but have no idea what you are talking about? Is everyone making them to exchange . Sorry
Thanks
