Now that the trip is all paid for, I guess it is safe to post this.

My wife Linda and I will also be joining you on the 10/9 western cruise. This is our third Disney cruise: we have done a 3-night on the Wonder in 2000, and the eastern on the Magic in 2002.

It will be my birthday on the day we sail, and it's a big one. (Think Hawaii, McGarrett...). You can all help me celebrate at the sail away party.

Len.

Traycee:

Which fishing excursion did you pick on CC. I called this morning and try to sign up my DH and DS7 for the morning trip...9:15 . UGH the computers were down but the CM did take my info and said I'd get confirmation in the mail...think I'll call back later and see if it is in the computer.

60 days left and so much to do... on today's list is: pick and pay for travel insurance - (I've put that one off just as long as I can)

Have fun planning,

Jennifer

Ok, based on the emails above about calling Debbie for REAS reservations I am a little behind....

I was told that I needed to wait for her to call me, so I guess tomorrow I will be calling...

Does anyone have any recommnedations on the best times for the bruch?

Late as usual-
Denise

Tigfanjeff, who did you book the dune buggies with? It would be nice if we were on the same one.

Cozumel Homes, we're waiting for them to send us the info

Just called and reserved the Tulum Ruins and the parasailing. Need to get with Capt Marvins for the Sting Rays in GC. We are starting to get excited about this adventure.

Just completed booking the entire families shore excursions for the cruise. I can believe we are less than 2 months away - mind blowing. Back in March when we booked it seemed like the cruise was such a long way off. Now I all I can think of is that am I going to be ready! Still not done planning - it's hard to get my family to agree to anything!

Anyhoo - for anyone that is interested our excursions are as follows (some may overlap because we have decided to spilt up)....

KeyWest -
Sebago Watersports - Parasailing (this is still pending some responses to my other thread)
Walking tour - Hemingway, Southern Most Point etc.

Grand Cayman -
Rum Beach & Stingray City - DCL

Cozumel -
Dolphin Discovery 12pm
Kayaking Adventure 12pm
Paradise Beach/Mr. Sanchos

Castaway -
Jetski Eco Tour - 945am
Banana Boat - 1pm
Castaway Bottom Fishing - 1pm
Cabana Massage (if available)

phew, what a list!!!!!

 

[traycie2201]

Hi Jfs9900, you're itinerary looks pretty similar to mine , we've got parasailing key west with sebago i think around 2pm
Key west we are going to go walking, according to Shirley from the boards this is easily done without a guided tour so will mooch around and may also visit ripleys museum.
Grand Cayman - stingrays with nativeway, 7 mile beach and some shopping
Cozumel Paradise Beach
CC fishing 9.15 banana boats 2.30
I'm getting really excited 7 weeks on saturday until we fly out. I feel so sorry for anyone caught in the storm / hurricanes cruising or otherwise it must be scary to be in the middle of it.
Safe travels to everyone.

 

[allforpooh]

Well we are all booked - Reas and excursions -whew!

REAS - no problem alot of times were still available.

Excursions -
Cayman - Stingray's Nativeway - Traycie2201 - looks like we will be on the same tour. Then shopping and sevenmile beach

Key west - Just walking around - might add something later

Cozmel - Fury Catamaran Sail, Snorkel & Beach Party

My DD has been corresponding with several kids and cannot wait to meet them all. Now all she has to do is pick her costume for MNSSHP - she is a big Halloween fan and this is a major decision. We have only changed about 20 times so far.

Also I did not realize that they seat people by group and since we booked thru allseastravel (late) we will probably be with that group so if anyone else booked allseas maybe we will be at the same table.

We also have our stuff planned

Key West - Conch Train with stops at Hemingways and Truman House. (our DD is on a president kick so she went to his Library this summer and now to his Key West home!)

Grand Caymans - Nativeway stingray and then coral reef snorkeling.

Cozumel - Mr. Sanchos


Counting the days until our 10 year wedding anniversary Celebration Cruise.

Kristen

[Surfergirl]

Congratulations on all the anniversaries. Our 15th is Oct. 7th

 

[scubarn]

Our 4th anniversary is also Oct7

 

[traycie2201]

Congratulations on everyones upcoming anniversaries, allforpooh i'm really looking forward to the stingray trip , hope to see you on board, Spencer my DS has also been e mailing and looking forward to meeting everyone elses kids at the dismeets.
allforpooh how old is DD , we've booked MNSSHP for friday october 8th and halloween in the UK just isnt' quite the same as yours so don't know if my DS will want to wear a costume, the most you get here is a mask and a trick or treat bag but if he decided he wanted to when we get to US i guess we could find one at walmart etc ?
Do they always seat people by group ? we are on late seating and booked through DVC so does that mean we'll be with other DVC'ers or do they only apply this to TA bookings - anyone know ?

 

[UKIan]

and as yet, have no excursions booked at all, and to be honest, was not really planning on any.

We have DS7 and DD3 with us, hence the reason we skipped the excursions so far, so my question is, am I being a little unadvennturous??
