Sorry to stay on the same subject......and not to bash anyone but for my own curiosity, if the "hubcap, the map, the Port Canaveral, and the Captains choice pin all go on sale on 5/14 at 5:30, does that mean we should anticipate going and lining up in advance? I might have to miss the 5:00 sailaway because I really would like a complete set for my own use, not to sell.............

Robin

Robin: That's what I'm thinking ... I do think they will begin voucher distribution at 5:30...at least if they stick to the schedule that they have outlined so far. Check your Navigator carefully.. because you never know when they will change things. Technically they can't sell anything until we are in international waters... so that would mean we would have to set sail exactly on time etc.... it remains to be seen. I don't want to miss the sailaway for a pin line... but do want those pins and the map that are being released that day..... this is one of those things that ceases to make pin collecting/trading fun.

Debbie,

What discount store???? That is so cute!!!! I want one, and I'm going to stomp my feet and pout until I get one... NOT... I do really want one, though...

DH and I are going to do our finish shopping tomorrow, probably at the Premium outlets. Just a few things to get and then we can really start getting stuff ready. I have to work till 6 the night before we sail, so most everything will be done before that except for last minute stuff.

Too bad they didn't have 250 more - they are just adorable. Good for you

Regarding the pin rush, I was expecting people to line up early for it but actually they can't line up until after the muster drill. Isn't that usually at 4pm?

I really want a set of the port pins, the map, and the mini-hubcap. I'm thinking I probably will not get them as I expect people to line up immediately after the muster drill. To me it's not worth missing the sailaway party. Being on decks 9 & 10 as we leave Port Canaveral is one of the things I am most looking forward to. After we leave and I felt I had a good chance to mingle with everyone, I will stop by to see if they have any more vouchers. If so, great. If not, I'll live.

The good part is that I'll know the first day whether or not I will pursue the buying the port set. If not, I will just buy a pin in each port to put on my cruise frame. For reasons like these, I'm glad I started collecting generic pins and not just Disney pins!

People will do what is more important to them and if they are willing to skip activities for the pins, I'm happy for them hope they are able to get them. I just hope no one forces their family members (especially children) to miss out on fun to wait in line with them just so they can get multiple copies to sell. That's pretty low.

That is the coolest idea!!! I wish I could think of things like that. What we are doing for our sailaway gift is to just deliver them to the staterooms. We are printing maps and just making the trek around the ship.

We thought about handing them out at the sailaway party but one of my worries was how to keep the non-DISers from asking for them. Aside from making sure they were wearing lanyards, it would be hard to know who to give them to. It's going to be especially hard for you since you are probably going to be swamped with kids who see someone giving out "free" M&Ms!

Whatever you decide, make sure you do what you feel is best for you. Make sure you aren't too worried about handing them out and missing out on fun!

-steve

We are delivering our giftbags to staterooms also. We are going to try and get it done right away as soon as the boxes are delivered to our room on embarkation day. I figure a lot of people will be going back and forth to their rooms between sailaway parties, lifeboat drills etc. So there shouldn't be too much of a problem of people stealing things off the fish. Everyone has such cool ideas. Can't wait to meet you all!

VERY good points, Steve!!! I'll try to keep your strategy in mind.......

Hmmmm... sounds like there is some unpleasant history with beer. I'll fess up and state the reason I find gin repulsive is from a evening in college, shot glasses and an incorrect recipie for Long Island Iced Tea.

So if I install a beer tap in my home, you would not visit me?

OMG..lol, we would visit you. We grew up with a fridge with beer tap..keg on the inside.

This afternoon is not too good for my family. A close friend passed away yesterday and she was only 58 years old. Known her for many decades and I used to work with her. Life is just so short and we must enjoy everything.

I have actually learned that since I have been so sick for 20 months now. Being on life support for a little over six months last year - has taught me so much. I really stop and smell the roses so many times.

I am just glad to be around to do the few things I have planned, including this wonderful trip with everyone. I am so looking forward to meeting everyone and remembering the trip long time in the future forever.

Can't wait to meet everyone

I don't think they would limit the number of passes sold. They might limit the number of people who go into the room. The use of the room has very busy times and deserted times. The Spa staff may just figure we all will determine for ourselves when it is too busy and leave when we can't find anyplace to sit.

If I arrive and it is too busy, I will just annouce one of two things:

"Surprise Pin just released on Deck 3."

"Two for One drink special just announced in Promenade Lounge."​

After reading these posts, I would guess that should clear out a good number of the Disboard-ers. Either way, Leslie will be out the door like shot from the cannon.

Randall

You are too funny!

 

[webray]

Hope all you mommies out there have had a wonderful Mothers Day! Now..let's finish packing and get sailing. Who's ready!!!!

That might work, I am just worried that Leslie will be in a Pin Line and announce “ free massages in the Spa” whilst we are in the Rainforrest Room…

It is a local store called Marc's. He gets alot of cool stuff!

No you all will think I am weird for this one..... but a few weeks ago we also bought a blow up ottoman to take with us. This way the three of us can stay on the veranda and have a place to put up our feet!

I just may have a few extras of the Mickey's...have to see how much room I have left in the bags!

If someone would want one...what colors would they like

Note to self: Remember Scott's Idea for clearing the pin line.....
