09/13/09 SSMC09 S.S. Member Cruise 2009

[wltdsnyfan]

Hi Flo - Those figures were only given to those members who added on to their DVC contract. Not everyone got one. I just wanted to clear that up.

Kelly is exactly right. You only got one if you added on to DVC. That's why Bruce is looking for one. He and Nancy didn't do an add on this cruise.

I loved the Big Fig but we have no room for one (we do have one of Dumbo) and we weren't in an add on mood.

Thanks Kelly and Mary!

That is a nice gift to get for adding on.

Bruce - Have a great trip. I am so there in my mind today. We are getting a bunch of snow and have a blizzard warning going in effect for tonight. It really stunk driving to work this morning.

Have a safe Monday everyone!

Chris,

We have the same thing here! I am hoping that they are wrong.

For those of you who haven't been on a Member Cruise before you can find links to our 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007 recaps on the web page. We haven't updated 2008 yet but this link http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1952403 will take you to the live thread from the trip reports forum. You can see pictures of some of the gifts we've gotten, a recap of the trip, and there is one post that outlines what all the add in incentives were.

Hope this helps.

Mary,

I just looked through the abouve link. It looks like it was a great time. I like the gifts you found on the beds to. It makes me more excited if that is possible.

Thanks for the birthday wishes from last Friday. Had a great weekend with kids and grandkids. We are looking forward to spending a few days at the end of the month at OKW then a week at VB. This weather up here is brutal. Snow and bitter cold all week.

Have a great day,

Jim

Hi All..

I am driving down to WDW in 17 days. My son is doing the Disney College program and my bride will be celebrating her Birthday. We are taking advantage of the buy 4 get 3 feature along with a $200 gift card. A great way to start off the New Year don't you think?

Has anyone received the Inspiration Mickey big fig yet?

I would like to buy one if you dont want it.

Have a Great Day all...

...Bruce

Hi Bruce,

We added on, but have not recieved the sculpture yet. I also don't know what my DW is planning on doing with it once we get it. I will relay on to her that you are possibly looking for one.

Enjoy your trip!!

Oh No Found us on page 2. Can't have that.

Well the snow has not hit us yet! But the way it looks it is not going to be fun to drive tomorrow morning. Then they are saying that we are going to get more snow on Wednesday.

Mark, I feel sorry for you if this happens. You are going to be going crazy.

Chris, you guys are supposed to get it to. Stay safe.

Yeah, we got it. Snow this morning and it was blowing like crazy when we came home tonight. Schools let out early around here and all evening activities cancelled. We are supposed to be -20 wind chill tonight. Brrrrrr.
More snow on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning! Can't wait. Just love living in the midwest! Not.

Ok, I think I have read most of the postings ..now I have questions.

1. Who is putting together the party bus...will someone tell me how much it is and how do I join in?

2. The fish extenders sound very intresting. Does each stateroom have a fish in which you can attach to?

3. Were do I sign up for that?

I think I'll stop here for now. and ask more questions as we go.

I hope everyone is staying warm and dry. We've just had a lot of cold.

I know Mary has already supplied some information but if you are interested in taking a chartered bus, please send me a PM with the following information:

Dis User Name
WDW Resort Prior To SSMC09
WDW Resort After SSMC09
# of Adults
# of Children & Age(s)

I believe the last time we did this, we had approximately 50 people which filled the bus. Everyone was asked to be at one resort around 8:30 or 9:00 because we wanted to get to the port as early as possible.

2. The fish extenders sound very intresting. Does each stateroom have a fish in which you can attach to?

I know it is early but I was wondering if any one be interested on doing a Fish Extender exchange. The reason it is called fish extender is you hang what you want your little trinkets to be put in on there. These are right out side the room. Please let me know your thoughts.

*Fish Extenders – We will be putting little things in them through out the cruise. Like, Paper, Pencils, stickers, playing cards, pirate things etc. To do this I would compile a list with Room Numbers and names and hand out at the DIS meet on Ship. You could PM me this.

**Fish Extender Gifts - This can be EVERY day or you pick a day to distribute all your gifts. There really is no set rule for gift-giving, it is up to you as to what and how much you want to give... each to their own accord. It was allot of fun to come back to are room and find something there. It also gave me a chance to see parts of the ship I never saw in the previous cruises.

This information can be found on page 1, post #1 of this thread. And, welcome to you and your family. This will be my first members cruise too.

 

[dvc4life]

Thanks Flo. Same to you.

 

[BoosGram]

Loads of PD for all of you who are in the path of that nasty weather . Please stay warm and safe. Mark, try to get some rest!

And a quick clarification for djstweety, yes, all the cabins have fish outside their doors. DCL uses them to leave envelopes or messages; DISers use them to hang fish extenders .

Bruce,

I can understand needing the trip. Here is somemore to help.

Take care and have a great time. At least the weather out there will be better then back home.

Hope everyone is over with all the bad weather going around, and those that have to remove the snow, stay safe.

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone - happy Tuesday!

Bruce - for you. Sounds like you really have a lot on your plate and really need that vacation!

I'm very happy that the Blizzard warning has been canceled and we didn't get the high winds they were talking about. More snow scheduled this week so we'll see.

Here's a picture of our fish extender from the 2007 Member Cruise. You can see the DCL message fish at the top.

Just noticed it is pirate time - good luck!
