06/08/08 Magic And Mickey To Mexico!!!

[sftnslky]

Hi Lorie,
I don't have enough posts yet, but close to PM so will definately write you in a few days. My son would really like that!

Jennifer

How old is your son? My boys just turned 7 a few weeks ago and would love to have a friend on the curise.

 

[sftnslky]

Hey guys... could you please let me know you and your kids favorite characters and Disney attractions? I would like to *attempt* to personalize my FE gifts for each of you. Our family is a Chip & Dale, Pirates, Tinker Bell, Mickey Mouse and Villains kinda group !

Our one cabin with the girls in it LOVES tinker bell, and our 'my' other cabin loves goofy. Thank you in advance for your personalized fe gifts.

I wish I could be of more help here. We are behind the 8 ball as well on excursions - we just booked our cruise yesterday! I do know that there appears to be plenty of people booking excursions away from DCL. If you know which ones you are interested in, I would give DCL a call - they should be able to tell you if it is available or not Hope you can join us!

I will have to look it up again but there is a new AWESOME excursion in either Maxatlan or PV it is sorta like the traditional swim with the dolphins one, but it is a meet and greet and pet and play with sea lions... and it is much cheaper and I would much rather love to play with the lions then the dolpins. I imagaine the kids will talk about it for years to come.

Sorry guys, this is more for me so I can remember which characters go with each stateroom!!!!

And can someone please make the airfare go lower!!! I got totally hosed on our outgoing flights. I decided to bite the bullet today because after I put a hold on the flights, the price went up $110 per person. Holy cow!!! I still need to get home, LOLOL.

 

[castle4us]

Thanks so much! I appreciate the information - just what I was looking for. I was worried that we'd be out of luck as far as the popular excursions go - I'm surprised! My 7 year old DD would love to do the Dolphin Kids in Cabo but I assumed that one would be sold out early. I might try booking it on my own - save myself some money (I think I can get it for $79/kid instead of $109) - and it's commissionable too! I don't usually do that or advocate it - I'm a believer in arranging excursions through the cruiseline. We'll see... As soon as my hubby gets home from work (he was busy with jury duty ALL DAY), we'll discuss and make a decision one way or the other!

Welcome! I booked the Cabo dolphin swim for my two boys online. I didn't use disney excursions. I figured it's a 5 minute walk from the ship, so I'd be pretty safe in doing so. Only problem will be if we don't make it to Cabo, then I'm out my money.

One month from right now we'll be on the ship and I'll just be finishing up dessert!

As far as FE gifts, oldest DS is a Donald fan, other DS doesn't really have a favorite. I guess goofy if I had to choose for him but it really doesn't matter. DH doesn't get into disney (can you believe it?!!), and I guess my favorite would either be Tink or Mickey. Can't get much more opposite than that, huh?!

Kyle is 5 1/2 (finishes Kindergarten 3 days before we leave for DL pre-trip). He'll be thrilled to have some friends on the trip! I know Lorie has a DD similar age too!

Okay....Jared decided and I want to change mine to "match" his. I promise I won't change again!!

Make mine LILO and he wants STITCH.


I did tell Megan to reply, but she's been pretty busy with last minute wedding stuff. If she doesn't let me know tomorrow sometime, I do know what her favorite is, and I'll make one up for Dave!

Got it

So many ideas, so little time....

Hello again everyone - you guys have been busy Trying to catch up on the posts. Hope it's not too late to join in on the FE! Could someone please add our cabin numbers for us? I am sooo posting-stupid, I can't figue out how to add on to the list The first 5 are in 8530 and love the fab 5, the rest are in 8022 and like the princesses and stitch. Sorry to be so much trouble
Dagny - we used to be neighbors - I lived in Allen, TX for a while.
To whomever booked the PV zipline NOT through Disney, could you PM me who you used?
I feel so behind - I'm the sole planner for a kinda high maintenance group - please wish me luck!! Have a great Weekend!!

 

[provencio]

Hi LisaTEX! I am aslo from Texas.. Good old El Paso. How cool that there are a cuople of us on board. C y'all soon. Can you belive it less ten a month!!!!

 

[castle4us]

Who did you use?

Here is the web page that I book marked. I booked from this site and got the online booking discount.
http://www.cabo-adventures.com/dolphin-center/index.htm

I think the one in PV required an adult to be in the water with kids my youngest son's age, so this one was cheaper for us being DH and I don't plan to be in the water.

That was me, castle4us (Michelle)! Here's the address, you get 15% for booking online. I chose this one over the disney one because on the disney one it sounded like you need to take a boat over then ride in an ATV for 45 min. I was worried I'd get sick with the boat ride.

I think the one in Cabo wasn't over the jungle type landscape, more over rocks and I thought this one sounded the best to me. Plus, they were very good about responding to emails when I had questions. I asked if they had a guide to go down the lines with my son if he got scared and wouldn't go and they said they did. Hope I don't need one.

Hey there!! I will add you to the FE list



Thanks for the information on the Dolphin Excursion. I am going to look into that. DH and I prefer to "watch" as well so your recommendation is much appreciated.

And thank you for the information on the zipline tour!!! Disney required the kids to be 12, well my son is only 8 And I couldn't leave him behind!!!!

Off to check these both out
Woot! Can't wait!

Crud, my youngest isnt old enough to go by himself! Rats!!

The zipline looks good though

Editing to add that my DH is not crazy about the zipline thing, ARG! He is really concerned about the safety guidelines and standards.

We pretty much like them all, but I narrowed it down a little.
Me - Belle and Grumpy
DH - Tigger (he graduated from Auburn University and that is as close as he can get to a tiger)
DD - Aurora and Eeyore (she was Eeyore in a play a couple of years ago)

I was concerned, too. On either this board or cruise critic, I did a search and found a thread about safety. After reading it, I felt better. I looked on my computer, but I didn't save the link. I understand his concerns.

 

[LisaTex]

Thanks for all the info everyone - and for adding our info to the list

Hi Provencio! I always seem to meet fellow Texans on these cruises

Time to get busy - thanks again everyone!

 

[castle4us]

One month from today we'll be ending our day in Cabo!

I got my door magnets made today. I made some extras for some of the days to give for FE gifts. If anyone else joins they'll have to have misc. trinkets cuz I'm not doing this again! I ran out of photo paper and ink, so I guess I'm done! Now I just have to put the magnets on them...it'll be a relief to have these done. One more thing to check off my to-do list.

 

[lorielucks]

Wow! So we are looking at 15 cabins participating in the FE! So cool.

So the Magic is on it's way - set sail today for the WB repo. Sure does make it seem more real. 28 days to go!

We took my DD today to buy her dress for the formal night. I nearly lost it when I saw her in the dress. She is so proud of it and I of her!

Anyway, I hope all the Mom's in our lovely group have a WONDERFUL Mother's day tomorrow. Enjoy the day!
