Alright I didn't kill it!!!!! Thanks so much everybody, I feel so much better now!!

 

[Evad]

I believe that is in Ocean Quest - midship deck two.

Yes, what Lois said....

 

[Reedi]

anyone going on this cruise from the New Orleans area?

WHO DAT!! We've got you covered!

 

[PaDisneyCouple]

One week ago, we got an interesting piece of mail, addressed to DW. Thought it to be junk mail at first, but it turned out to be the Monster PIN code for 40% off a WDW stay, and it hits our cruise dates. After much research, a presentation to DW, and discussion, we've decided to change to a fall WDW stay at the BC Club Level. Never stayed CL before, and 40% off makes it attractive!

Don't know when we'll push the cruise to, but can't be in 2 places at once, even if both are Disney.
Have fun!

Will check in on you from time-to-time

 

[Cindi0511]

Wow! That's a great deal! I think you'll like club level. We'll miss you, but have a fabulous time!

Can someone give me a little more info on the FE. I didn't want to do it cuz I didnt want to stress out about it,but now I'm thinking I might want to do it. What I dont understand is How many people do you have to put in FE gifts for? Do you put a gift in everyones every day? One of my concerns would be that I would forget to do it one day. I am not crafty so I wont be making my own, but I have seen here that people get it from ebay..Is that right? How long does it take for shipping?

I'm thinking my girls would really like finding little presents in the FE,and putting little presents in others so that is why I'm thinking of changing my mind (They are not very quiet so you would hear them a mile away) They are at the perfect ages to enjoy something like this.

Sorry for all the questions, any help would be great.

What I dont understand is How many people do you have to put in FE gifts for? The number of people depends on how many people sign up for the FE exchangeDo you put a gift in everyones every day? You are only expected to bring one gift for each person or for each stateroom depending o0n what you deciode to bring.One of my concerns would be that I would forget to do it one day. I am not crafty so I wont be making my own, but I have seen here that people get it from ebay..Is that right? How long does it take for shipping? I bought one from e-bay. Do not remember how long it took to get it. I came within a week or two if I remember correctly

I'm thinking my girls would really like finding little presents in the FE,and putting little presents in others so that is why I'm thinking of changing my mind (They are not very quiet so you would hear them a mile away) They are at the perfect ages to enjoy something like this.Your girls will love checking the FE and getting the gifts form the others as well as going out to deliever the gifts.

Sorry for all the questions, any help would be great.

I haven't read back at all yet, but I just wanted to say hi since we'll be joining you all on this cruise. We weren't sure if we were going to go or not until last night. We had originally booked a special June 09 itinerary, but we ended up pregnant so we rescheduled it for this cruise and added a baby to the reservation. Unfortunately we lost that baby and a subsequent one. We finally had a son on March 23rd this year (6 1/2 weeks early!). We were hesitant to take him with us on a cruise at 7 months, but didn't really want to cruise without him, either. We considered rescheduling but it would've cost a few hundred dollars more to keep the same stateroom category. So last night we finally decided to go for it. I'm so excited!!! Hopefully planning this will help me get over the depression of being back at work this week

Welcome aboard and congrats on the new baby!!!!!

I hear you about the work thing. Planning this cruise is the only thing getting me through the work week.

I see your from Cape Cod. We will be visiting your area this July for a few days. Should be fun!!

First...Nan and I are sorry for your losses - our best.

Congratulations on the birth of your son. Am sure you enjoyed a wonderful birthday celebration on the 23rd. Can’t wait to meet him – and his parents.

WELCOME!!! Glad you decided to keep your sailing date and joining this thread.

 

[Reedi]

Hi! My name is Nathalie. I am from Quebec, canada (I’m french, so sorry if my english is bad!!) We are going to be on the Magic with all of you. I and my future husband, Simon, are going to celebrate a special event on this cruise : we are going to get married on Thursday, Oct 28th with an Onboard Ceremony, i can’t wait!

I, Nathalie (29), Simon (30), our daughter Alice (4), our son Adam (1), My parents Francine and Jean-Pierre, my in law's Johanne and Jean-Marie will be with us to celebrate all week.

We all have a Category 8 Stateroom and we will be located on Deck 6.

On our last cruise in 2008, we met Paul (Paul2003) and all his family. We really had great time with all of them. They also are going to be part of our Wedding.

Great weekend to all of you!

AWESOME! Congratulations! I hope you consider posting a trip report with lots of pictures.

 

[Reedi]

My husband, son and myself would like to join in the tour of the staterooms and open our stateroom to the group. We will be in stateroom 8530, The Roy Suite. I can't wait to meet our "group' and to start our vacation that I booked 2 years ago!

You ROCK!!

 

[Reedi]

FINALLY!! I did it! Got through all 107 pages of this thread! Took me over a week, but who's counting?? Sounds like we have a VERY organized and active group. Can't wait to meet everyone.

On the to-do list for tomorrow...buy tickets to MNSSHP! And order a FE. Already booked at Coronado for 2 nights before, it'll be our first visit there. We were planning on just enjoying the pool, but we all got totally excited about MNSSHP, so the decision was unanimous.

Still considering excursions, but I will definitely be waiting for the lines to open to book a Palo brunch. Can't wait!

We will definitely don our pirate gear again, just trying to decide about what to wear to MNSSHP.

We'll definitely be celebrating this trip. DH will have just completed his MBA. Sadly, I will be only a third of the way through mine.

Only 140 days left!

 

[Evad]

Just wanted to say welcome aboard!! Also I love the pirate pic. Can't wait to see the costumes in person. Looking forward to meeting you all as well as all the other new people that have just signed onto this cruise!!

Welcome and congrats on your new addition. He must be very special given the hard time he had in making his arrival. Can't wait to meet each of you.

Thanks for the compliment. So Kevin are we right???? Ocean Quest midship deck two!!

Morning Dave...
yep - yep - yep....Ocean Quest - Deck 2, Midship.

Was this pic taken a long time ago Kevin, you look really young in this shot.....

"you look really young in this shot"...you're funny -

This is a really nice area for the youth to hang out and use all the computers, gaming units - etc. Most of this shot shows a mock up of the ship's bridge that simulates docking the ship. it's pretty cool!!! I had to 'hold back' ejecting the kid in the chair...and take a turn for myself. alas...his parents were dis'ers...I had to show some restraint.

It's amazing all the programs and activities that DCL offers our kids. For those with youth, please take some time during the 'open house' to tour the youth areas. Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong - believe this open house is only offered during our first evening.

have a great weekend....k

We made the same decision! We were planning on spending a night or two at Disney before the cruise so that we wouldn't be rushed at all having the baby with us. We were just going to pick a hotel that would keep Alex entertained, but when I realized there was a MNSSHP Friday night I decided we had to go. Alex can do his first trick-or-treating at MK. How awesome is that?! This trip is just getting better and better!

 

[ljhayes]

I just ordered our MNSSHP tickets Now we just have to decide where to stay. The decision is between a value and something on the monorail. Haha. I thought the values might be more fun for Alex with all the big decorations and bright colors. But something on the monorail would be way more convenient. Especially being our first trip having to deal with a stroller Plus, we are unlikely to ever stay at Poly or Contemporary for a regular trip, so it might be a good chance to try them out since we'll only be there a night or two. We stayed at GF after our wedding, so I don't feel the need to stay there again. Hmmm, decision, decisions!
