Welcome Andee and Joel! We will not be in training for the WDW Marathon this year, decided to do the Space Coast instead, so we will be in recovery period on this cruise

Have a great day all!

Hi All,

Does anyone know if Disney does anything special for New Years?

Is there a special menu on New Years eve or on New Years Day? Fireworks? Deck party?

If folks want we'll coordinate the FE list. Let me know.

Thanks, Bob & Dale (and Gordy)

Bob - I am interested in all those questions also! A roster would be great, I am not computer literate enough to volunteer.

Looks like we have a good group here.

Okay, from what I've read on trip reports..... When the ship had Nassau as the port in NYE, they then stayed off shore and watched the fireworks from Atlantis. Formal night was NYE, there was a special NYE menu. A deck party and balloon drop in the atrium with champagne at midnight.

If anyone has been on a NYE cruise please correct me.... This is our first Disney cruise so I've been reading lots of trip reports.

Does anyone know what the weather will be like?

I saw a youtube video called "DISNEY CRUISE LINE NEW YEAR'S EVE DECK PARTY 2010."

I found a post indicating that last year on the Magic the 'ship was decorated for the holidays, they had fireworks at midnight, a midnight buffet, champagne in keepsake plastic glasses, hats at dinner, special dinner menu, gift in the stateroom and a special lithograph.'

On our August cruise, I compiled the FE info for the group. I used my Cricut to make Mickey heads on card stock and the phrase Family Fun with fish around it. I pasted the list with participant info onto the back. I dropped off a Mickey head at each stateroom by 5pm on the first night.

Here is my first attempt at posting a scanned image (just the front)...

Good Morning Cruisers!

Andee - that is a great idea!

Thanks for the info on NYE! It was about what I expected, but I was afraid that I was maybe expecting too much.

Have a great day all!

Wow great job! Thanks to anyone who is willing to keep up with the FE info.!!

There have been 5 nights on the Wonder, but that does not mean that the shows would be the same. So, sorry, I cannot answer your question.

142 Days to go!

Ducky told me he has already completed the special NYE litho for this cruise. So we will be getting a litho! Yippee!

Now, I have just moved into a smaller home........I can't figure out quite yet where I am going to hang everything. I need more walls. Going from 6000 square feet to 1700 square feet has been a challenge, to say the least!

It is going to be so nice and fun to be cruising with so many familiar faces again. Looking forward to celebrating New Years with all of you.

Are the kids coming along too?

The schedule worked out perfectly for Jamie with college. She will have to fly out immediately after so she can get back to school though. They start back on Tuesday!

Hi Linda,

Yes, they both are coming. Courtney starts back on Wednesday and Peter the next Monday.

You said Jamie is flying out immediately, are you staying in Florida longer?

It would be great to get together with you and Jamie at WDW or at our house while you are here.

Any more news on the Dream. PM us if you don't want to discuss here.

Talk to you soon,

Faith & Pete

Good Morning Cruisers!

Faith - it will be good to see you folks again, glad to hear the kids are going to make it too.

I am in CA for a few days helping my brother move, dealing with some Real Estate paperwork. Hopefully, Dad's house will close next week - I will still have to do the closing long distance, I am not staying here that long, but it will be good to be able to close out the estate and trust.

Have a great day all!

We have been debating if a trip to DisneyWorld is a good idea before the cruise. On one hand.... we have the time and are celebrating big time but on the other hand... do we really want to have our first DW trip be during the busiest time of year?? Lots to think about and figure out.

I love being able to look forward to this cruise! and I think looking ahead 5-6 months is just about right in the excitement time frame. Every few days one of the boys or the husband will ask me what shows are playing or if we know the room yet and I get lots of remember whens. Can't waait to see those fireworks!!!

oh so excited. thanks!
