10/15/2011 - Taking the West by Magic!

[ColoradoDisneyFreaks]

Count me in for anything to do with food.

I would also love to do Palo for supper one night but not by myself. Is anyone else interested in joining me - or inviting me?!

I have cruised with Disney once before so I have a CC number (although I haven't been able to access the site for a few days ).

I am getting very excited. I went through my box of Disney treasures (t-shirts, hats, ear rings, etc) today to start getting organized.

When we get FE sorted out I will need hat sizes.

Let's talk about that Palo dinner reservation... Since I'm going without DH, he's been busting on me that I don't get to go to Palo this time, at one point I contemplated just making a reservation for myself, but, I just didn't feel quite right about doing that. Can you stand going with someone who will drink Diet Coke instead of wine (I'm not a big wine fan, maybe I'll have a beer! )

So a tween contract I posted on another thread got me to thinking. Do we want to do DISmeet lanyards or wristbands for our little crew? I just checked out a custom wristbands site, and they have lime green, we can put whatever text on it we want, and from 4 to 50 units they're $1.35 apiece and I'm seeing lanyards for say $1.50 or so apiece.

My preference, wristbands if we do anything, the lime green will really stand out, and then we can see each other, but, if we don't do anything, that's OK too!

I'm down for the wristbands - the future hubby and I have lanyards to rock already and I imagine that might be pretty common for repeat cruisers but wristbands are simple ways of spotting each other

I don't drink wine so we would be fine together. I might have a beer too but I have to warn you that I like my beer on ice

The wrist bands are a great idea.

I will be flying in the day before. When I get my flight booked maybe we can talk about getting a group together for Friday night too.

My daughter calls this cruise meet "my support group". No one is ever as excited about Disney as the people on the boards. My family just doesn't understand

I'm lucky, mine does

OK, Oh My Gosh, I found a site that has the Walt Font to make wristbands! They'd end up being $2.13 a piece, and we'd need a minimum order of 50, they do also have adult and youth sizes and they're the same price for each. So, I guess we can start a poll to see if folks want them?

Wristbands sounds good to me.

.... I think a few might be going to the MNSSHP. I also thought about meeting for an early breakfast by cocoa bch or cape canaveral. Has anyone been to Dixie crossroads? Love the rock shrimp!!

Great idea for the wristbands...do we have 50 wrists though? I bet we do if you put one one each wrist

I found another option that also has the Walt Font, for like 2.35 per band that doesn't have a minimum, so we can go for that too!

Is there an order-bydeadline for the bracelets? The price is great.

On another topic - I think my 90 day window opens tomorrow. I think that means I can try and make reservations for Palo. ColaradoDF's - are you booking Palo for us? Do you have any idea what night? Anytime is good with me. Should we both try and book? One of us books brunch and one books dinner .... and ..... is anyone else joining us? I have invited a friend to cruise with me but she hasn't confirmed yet.

 

[TartanTinker]

Hope everyone gets what they want tomorrow. I'm still not sure what excursions to book.

Jenn - are you booking Palo for us?

I'm not booking any excursions. I want to wander around Key West and have a margaritta (or two) somewhere. I mostly just want to hang around the ship.

For those of us travelling as couples or small families/groups - would you consider requesting to eat together? I am not sure how it's done but someone here must know

I found some great FE stuff that I didn't know I had, when I started going through my Disney stuff.

Tonight at midnight or earlier for those west of east

I booked the ruins trip, we have never been.

Ivet: Double check the dates for MNSSHP. I don't think there is one for Oct 14. They don't have too many Friday nights booked for MNSSHP.

I have booked a flight in a day earlier than I planned - flight difference was $140 - the price of a hotel room and an extra day at Disney!: cheer2:

We did the ruins at Tulum and enjoyed our day there. Which ruins are you going to?

I thought I could book Palo today but Disney wants me to pay in full first I guess that makes sense

I have to figure out how to add 'stuff' to my page - like the puzzle and countdown, etc.

 

[LySand]

A note to our great FE Leader:
When the FE gets sorted out can you put the info on the first page with our group info?
ie. how many boys/girls, ages, adults, etc. I see the info once in awhile when re-reading the boards (yes, I am obsessed too) but I wouldn't know where to find it again.
Thanks,
Lynn

Did anyone book anything today? I was able to get Palo brunch and dinner and lots of daycare. beach:Thank god)

I am in for the bracelets- so we are 4. (do they have child sizes as Sienna is tiny) I would also be in for the lanyards...

Colorado-are you using logo as a FE gift??????

Getting excited!!!!!!

 

[amazingact21]

The wristbands sound good to me, I think I could convince DF to wear one.
Our window for booking activities doesn't open until the 1st of August, so I am still patiently waiting for the potential Palo dinner and brunch.

BOOOOO! that is no fun. Just to let you know there was little left on palo dinner, they had some times on sat night...1 time on sunday and another on thursday. We did tuesday...however they had a lot of times/days for brunch open. We were party of 3 that i am sure uses a party of 4 table.

Good luck!

Anyone book or plan there excursions yet? We are limited with things to do with a 18 month old.We are doing non-Disney trolley on key west and 7 mile beach on the caymens (was going to do turtle farm but trip advisor didn't have good reviews) thing of doing either...disney ruins and discover mexico or non-Disney nocchi-cocom or Chankanna????

Any thoughts?
