10/19/2013 An Eastern Fantasy

[kellyb2000]

Hi everyone! We sailed on the Dream Oct 23, 2012 for 4 nights as a "starter cruise" just in case... Now, we are HOOKED!

That's all it takes. We've been hooked since our first 4-nighter, too!

Is anyone out there interested in starting a weight loss thread?

I'm intrigued....

I was thinking if there were other people out there who need/want to lose a few pounds before vacation that we could be a support team for each other. But I'm not sure how to set it up or how we should do it. Any thoughts?

I would TOTALLY be in. I need to lose this excessive baby weight (plus some I put on after ). There's a a whole board on here for it.

There is a Facebook page (closed group) for the cruise - http://www.facebook.com/groups/175932702507202/

One can create a doc on the page for everyone to edit (it was done on a previous cruise).

It is also a good place to create docs for the other meet/greets, etc. I like that better than keeping track of different threads here but, then you do have to be a facebook user (which I was not until all these cruise pages showed up).

I'd be up for it too. I'm moreso working on maintaining at this point, but since I've failed at that recently I need to take off a few again.

I'd prefer to do it on the DIS for anonymity.

What anoymity? you just mentioned you name - Dani.

The FB page is a closed group - which means that only members of that page can see the posts, docs, pictures, etc of that page. The public can only see the Page title and member names.

As for FB itself, just don't put anything but the very basic info in it and make nothing beyond that public. That's what I do. I rarely make posts outside of the cruise group pages.

Not everyone on the Facebook will follow the thread. I'd rathe roost it on the WISH board than to have it on the cruise page. Just my opinion.

Confused.

Granted not everyone will follow the thread or doc on the FB pag (just like not everyone here will either) but it is easy to post there or edit a group doc. There is currently a "Lose before we Cruise" doc on the Oct Hawaiian cruise page with several people signed on (know where it is but I'm not following it).

What is the WISH board? It is another social site for weightloss thread like DIS?

It's here on the DIS. Its a subdivision for healthy living.

C'mon - there's a lot more anoymity on the DIS than there is on FB. I have a FB account for my real life friends - the DIS is for my imaginary friends! There are certain things I might not discuss with my real friends - hence the DIS! Doesn't mean I'm lying or embarassed by what I say here, just that there is a difference. I'm not going to post on FB when I buy FE gifts, and I'm not going to post here that my daughter hit both balls without the tee last weekend at her ball game (but she did and it was SO great! ). I DO use my FB for more than just a cruise group page, and the weight loss issue might not necessarily be something I want to share with all my FB friends that aren't concerned with losing weight. So my opinion, as someone who might actually participate in the weight loss deal, is to keep it on the DIS, but maybe on the WISH boards.

I know......!! I had to come back to the thread to see if I was missing anything. Doing well here!
Only 1 year, 5 months and 8 days until we leave for this wonderful WDW/DCL vacation!

Has anyone posted/created a themed stateroom door magnet for our cruise yet??
Actually, I'm kind of artsy and I'm working on something now......but I don't know how to post/attach it for everyone to see...

My family has a dummy booking, and are trying to pick a date to cruise. We prob won't switch our date for a few months to be sure, but I think this cruise is #1 on my list... We were thinking of doing Alaska, but I've heard to do Alaska through Carnival or someone else... So we are leaning to an Eastern cruise between Sept and Dec of 2013
This would be our 2nd Disney cruise. It would be Grandma, myself, Sandi, and my son Evan. Evan will turn 11 in Sept of 2013. I will follow your thread, and have a very high poss that we will join in a few months in the count down to this cruise!

Upload the image to www.photobucket.com. Once it's in your album on photobucket, there is a link underneath the picture that says "IMG code" - copy that to a post here on the DIS.

or...

email it to me and I'll post it!

Hello to all!
This is what I came up with for our cruise magnet.

I am open to any suggestions.
I just thought we needed something special for our stateroom doors.

When you open it in photo bucket, it comes up at only 78% - don't know why. The one I have printed measures 6 1/2" X 6 1/2" and the background is readable and bold.

Let me know what you all think!
