Hey everyone. You have all been very busy. You can tell that the excitement is building towards the cruise.

Woo Hoo!!!!

Hope the storms stay away from down there. It is storming like crazy here at the moment. Thunder and Lightening. Power has gone out a couple of times. Eeeeeek.

I guess, count us in on the pirate picture too. Hope we remember to make it to this years. Does someone remind everyone about it? I am very forgetful about these things. And our oldest DD has been working so hard on a costume. Don't tell her I told you, but she is going as Peter Pan. She thought it would be fun to be Peter Pan at a Pirate Party.

Sorry for the last post of mine. I typed it last night but then the storms came in and we lost our satellite so I couldn't post it. So it got posted this morning.

2009 Group at meet on Wonder ..................

I was gonna post on this a while back and just remembered. Me and DH are in the first row over on the left. We are beside the young man in the wheelchair. So I think we are the third and fourth ones in. DH has his red DVC hat on and I have a blue shirt on. Then right beside me is Michael and Monika!

Hello Wonderful DVCers!

For those who may remember me, I (along with DH and our 3 kids) was supposed to be on this year's member cruise. Unfortunately due to a family gathering that got arranged in late spring, we had to cancel. I have continued to lurk and follow along on this thread and have been sharing in the excitement that continues to build up. You all are going to have a wonderful time!!! I think one of the things I am most sad about is not getting to meet this wonderful group in person.

I have been thinking about next year's cruise. I think it will be in September again. I have a couple of questions for you seasoned veterans who have been through the craziness of booking day. How far in advance did you know the booking date? Also, if you happen to be at WDW on booking day (which there is a chance that we might if it is in the first week on November) then can anyone at the DVC desks help with the reservation process or do you still have to call yourself? This year's cruise hasn't even happened and I am trying to strategize for next year!!!!!!!!!! It is truly an obsession!!!!!!!!!

I have one other request. When I had booked the member cruise, we had kept it a secret from the younger two kids. However my DS9 had figured out what I was up to and was following along all the details with me. When I had to cancel, he was very disappointed as he had (like me) gotten hyped up about this being a very unique experience than the other cruises. We are now booked on the Halloween cruise and none of the kids know. I had an idea for revealing the surprise which I need your help for. I was wondering if one of you would share an item (or items) that is unique to the DVC member cruise that I can then present to them in a package as if it were sent over by Mickey himself with a note saying that he was sad that they could not come this time but is looking forward to seeing them at Halloween. I know that in the past some people have either passed on to relatives (or even sold on ebay) some of the cruise items that are given out in the daily gifts. If anyone is going to part with any such item, please do contact me first. I am happy to either pay you or make a donation to your favorite charity. I know it sounds a bit silly to get worked up about kids getting disappointed and then our attempts to create some magic for them, but I think that members of this forum understand this insanity!

Keep posting for not just those who are going but those who wish they were. Can't wait to read the TRs after. Is anyone going to be making live posts?

Have a wonderful day.

Amber

Scott I will try to answer first since I have also asked the question but since we are first timers - those with experience please add to or correct me!!!!

Capris are fine...in the main dining areas the dress code states: no swim suits, tank tops or shorts. Jeans and tennis shoes are permitted. Palo I am gathering you are correct - jacket for you and dress for DW.

For DH I plan to take 1 pair of khakis and one pair of black pants (thanks Marsha!!) With his black dress shoes (which we will use not only for dinner but also for pirate night). For myself I have 2 sundresses and 2 pairs of capris - I am trying to not overpack so my plan is to use whatever I wear for dinner the next day if needed. For our two days at CC the tips suggested just wearing your bathing suit so really no need for a set of clothes! I hope this helps!!!

Thank you! My DW is in major panic mode as I am at school from 7 till 7:30-8 every day. I am an easy packer but she has to have everything in order. I can pack in 10 min lol.

Another question: I have my little spiral booklet that came that has the adhesive luggage tags. My MOM told me that I should receive decorative luggage tags as well as some other goodies. Is this true? If it is I need to get a hold of DCL ASAP.

If anyone cancels at palo let me know so I can grab the reservation.

Tick Tock time is quickly passing. My brother keeps on teasing me because I am so excited about spending Friday and Sat. at the parks with my DW. This is our first vacation with just the 2 of us since we had our DS's. It will be different and I am sure I will miss my boys since they are my riding buddies but my Dw and I are gonna be like little kids our first time at WDW by ourselves!

Scott, the spiral notebook with the luggage tags in the front are it. You'll have to wait until you get on the cruise for all the other stuff. Karen
