[jaxsmom08]

Not to be a pest, but can anyone confirm is this is the FINAL list of participants???? Just need to get my ducks in a row...

Thank you for taking the time to figure these all !!! I am working on my questionaire and I will PM it to you !!!!

 

[jaxsmom08]

Great! Did you see the questionaire for you and your friends to fill out??

Schachteles- do I need to fill one out for my child, me and my husband or one for all of us together?

 

[bluecasbah]

Hi Karen and Tony from Australia!!!!! The weather in Florida is hot and humid, I expect similar on the cruise. See you soon!

 

[JDBlair]

Did a quick happy dance and then hurried off to do my work out! It'll be here before we know it!!

The other day my boss and co-workers were talking about an upcoming meeting. I commented I wouldn't be at the meeting, I'll be on vacation that day but assured them I'd toast my drink to their meeting and think about them. My boss said if I'm drinking at 8 am, I have issues. I assured her when I'm on vacation, there are no rules when it comes to drinking and 8 am will mean it's 11 am on the cruise and a drink will be past due!!!

 

[bluecasbah]

Woo hoo on the docs!!!!!

I am all for a meet!!! When we cruised in 2007, the DISers had a meet in the Promenade Lounge at 3 pm on the 1st day. It was a real quick meet and greet. What do you all think??

 

[DenverVal]

I got my docs today too! Yay, happy dance!

 

[Anj]

I'd be in for a meet! Was it really rushed for you to get to the meet and greet at 3? I feel like the whole day will be rushed until after 4 for some reason, I guess partly because I *think* I know what my family will be doing until the sailaway party. Then we are in the late dinner sitting. But of course, I am already forgetting the all aboard show, I assume that's before our dinner sitting...?

Yes, the all aboard show is before dinner. It'll be boat drill into deck party...welcome aboard show....and then dinner (we're at the late seating too). So actually. before the boat drill, at 3 sounds great!

3 in Promenade is good!

A long while back someone tried to get us to pick a name and icon for this cruise. Does anyone remember what post that was or what the pictures were. I liked the Columbus Day one and I can not remember it.

Also, did anyone know, before docs arrived, they were celebrating Halloween!!! I am so excited except I can not bring my Mrs. Potatoe head costume because it takes a suitcase all by itself!!

My dd13 will be 14 in December and is a bit shy when it comes to making friends. I thought if there was going to be someone her age on the cruise then maybe they can talk ahead of time and it would make it an easier transition for her so that it would be like she already knows someone. She is wanting to move up into the 14-17 group if they will let her but, I prefer her to stay in the 11-13 year old group. (Even though she is mature for her age). She is afraid that there are going to be mostly 11 and 12 year olds in that age group.

 

[Schachteles]

Schachteles- do I need to fill one out for my child, me and my husband or one for all of us together?

Most people have done it listing some things out for each person in the cabin or as a family, either way works.

 

[Schachteles]

Thanks to the people for getting back to me so quickly...I have four including mine...only waiting on Palmfal Baxfam and Jaxsmom08...once I get those I will get everyone paired up.

Is everyone ok with a $25 or so spending minimum?

The following seven cabins are participating in SECRET MICKEYS:

1.) Lenzs4
2.) Palmfam
3.) Baxfam
4.) Jaxsmom08

If each person listed above could fill out the following questionaire and PM it back to me ASAP (like before Friday if at all possible) so I can randomly match people up and get you your SECRET MICKEY so you can start getting prepared.

[jaxsmom08]

[jaxsmom08]

To whom ever may know- Since my sister-in-law signed us up to do the fish extenders and the secret santa could someone give me the run down on how it works as far as how we get the gifts to the people and the secret santa??

 

[JDBlair]

I'm all for a 3 pm meet at the Promenade Lounge on Day 1. Count me in. I just hope I'm not the only one there.

I'm sorry, my DS is 15 but I can relate to how you're feeling. When we cruised in 2007, I was completely prepared for DS to be by my side every minute of every day. On the first day, we went to the Stack together and I have to tell you, the CM that greeted DS was amazing. She was very outgoing and welcoming. He went back that evening, on his own, and getting him to stay out of the Stack was nearly impossible for the rest of the trip. I think your DD will definitely make friends because I think the CM's do absolutely everything they can to get the teens to feel comfortable and involved.
