Hey everyone, I'm Stitch's friend who's going on this our first member cruise. Just want everyone to know that I am so not technically inclined and finally have just taken the plunge, all the stars have lined up, remembered our password and yes it looks like i have learned how to post something. Reading through all the postings has been great. I can't wait to meet you all on board. I do have a lot of questions that i hope to be fielding on this sight. One question i'd like help with is that we are looking at float, snorkel and bike rental for the island and i'm just wondering if you all think that's a good idea to sign up for? I mean yes it looks like the kids have their own activities but I would hope My husband and I can tear them away for some family time. OK here goes ...I'm submitting my first post. Hope it gets there!

Dallas...glad to see you posting!

HI LINDA!!!

Looking forward to seeing you in 3 weeks

Thanks for sharing about Ducky. I'm sure our surprise will be FANTASTIC!

Everyone, as we shared earlier, we heard there are great surprises coming for this cruise! The last Member Newsletter was right... pack something extra to carry home your goodies! YIPPEE!!!

Any indication of size of this extra luggage?

Sounds like a great time!

Do your Scouts have these? www.minutepiemold.com My dad actually makes them and he sells them to lots of Scout troups.

Our troop does not have those but we were going to go threw our cooking supplies inventory and see what need to be replaced.
I just might have to suggest your product. Plus I can say it comes from a good family business.

Oh and I just love those "Action Shots".

Last year all of our items fit into the suitcases we had packed already (and they were full coming in) or in the lovely DVC tote bags we received.

Hi everyone!!! Well - better late than never they say. My family consists of myself - Niagara2 - Doreen and my DH Sean. We have 2 sons, Brandon and Justin.
We signed up for this cruise like most of the rest of you....on hold that Saturday morning so long ago. I cannot believe it is already October and time for the member cruise. This is our first member cruise but we are DCL veteran's. We did the repo and brought the Magic home. We have also done 4 other DCL cruises on both the Wonder and Magic.
I am a late planner. We own our own business and are very busy in the summer. It is just slowing down and now we can plan our great trip. I actually have a business trip to FL next week and will make time for a day at the Magic Kingdom. We still are on a wait list for a room at BCV for the day the cruise ends. Not good this late in the game. I also have not planned the night before room. Any ideas? Told you I am starting really late.
I have attended Dis meets on board during prior cruises and loved getting to know my fellow Disers. I have even been to Dis meets here locally.
I am hoping to read this entire thread before I go so that I know more about you all. Can't promise - because do you guys realize there are over a 19000 posts! Wow. I have a lot of catching up to do. I will continue to check in until we go and look forward to our time together.
Thank you for letting me in at this late date. Mary and Amy even put me on the lists. Thank you! Doreen

Doreen!

Well, Madison and I are going to be doing a lot of running around for Emily's party this morning. I need to finish finding all the stuff for the goodie bags and decorations. I think that I finally have all the food figured out (mini cheesecakes, mini muffins, fresh fruit, tea cookies and "star" cheese (Sargento makes Sunburst shaped cheese that my girls call star cheese). I'm also planning on taking pretzel rods and coating them with pink "chocolate" and sprinkles.

I'm going to JoAnn's and pick up a bunch of pink tulle to drape around the living room too, since it's pretty cheap.

That sounds very cool Amy. What princess wouldn't love a party with those goodies!

Happy Birthday Bruce!! ​

Happy belated birthday!

Doreen, do you have Cub Scouts and/or Boy Scouts??

Stacy's son, Nick, is a Boy Scout.

My son, Cameron, is a Boy Scout and my other son, Walker, is a Cub Scout.

They love their camping.

We get home from this cruise Friday, 10/27 with our plane arriving at midnight. We leave for a campout at 7 a.m. Saturday morning.

I'm glad our next camping trip probably won't be till December when they doe the winter camp with the Webelos 2 from Cub Scouts.

Both the boys are Boy Scouts. One is 11 and one is 12 years old. Glad they will have much in common with the kids that will be on board. I will tell then tonight!

The boys should have lots to talk about. Looks like Nick, Cameron will have some buddies to hang out with.

Last year all of our items fit into the suitcases we had packed already (and they were full coming in) or in the lovely DVC tote bags we received.

But it sounds like this year they're telling everyone byob(bag, beer, whatever... ).

Seriously, we always pack a easily packable nylon duffel and pack out dirty clothes into it if we need to make room in our good suitcase for souvenirs. what we'll do this time too

 

[tinkerbelle77]

I don't know about anybody else but I feel like I need a quick summary of all the DIS'er events taking place before/during/after the cruise.

Can anyone put one together and post it? Maybe put it up on the monorailgreen.info page too? It would be nice to have a one-stop place to go to see what will be going on!

So far I think I saw a pre-cruise DIS meet @ the Solarium @ BCV and some sort of bacherlorette get together on the ship but that is all and it is rather difficult trying to sift thru 19K+ posts to sort it all out from scratch.

TIA to whomever

Hurray!!! The docs are arriving so it can't be long now! Hmmmm, wonder where my UPS guy is? I may just have to go hunt him down.
