3/7/09 Western Caribbean - Meet Information

[EPCOTgrl1]

The first tip I have is remember that it is a vacation. There is a lot to do but that doesn't mean that you have to do it all. Just relax and have a good time. The second tip that I have is if you are planning to do any excursions check and see if you can get it somewhere off the island for a little cheaper.

Thanks for your reply, we appreciate it. Maybe we can meet some of the

dis members.

Sailing Soon,
Michelle

That is a link that shows examples of cruise magnets and some doors that have been decorated. The doors are metal so magnets will stick. I use magnet paper that goes through the inkjet printer. There are not a lot of doors on board decorated--it is just an extra fun thing to do. My grandson saw a decorated door on our last cruise & was jealous, so he & I are making magnets as a surprise for the rest of the family this time.

We are having a meet at 3pm Saturday in the Promenade Lounge and everyone is invited. It should give you a chance to meet other DISers.

I just got my documents and luggage tags!

Now I just need to start packing and finish my T-shirts! See you guys soon!

 

[thtrmike]

What type of documents. and luggage tags? I did not recieve any of this all I got was a booklet listing things to bring and the shore excursions and stuff.

 

[EPCOTgrl1]

your documents should be coming soon. If you just booked give it a few days.

I just talked to DCL and it looks like our cruise is about 97% full at the moment.

Chelsea,

Is Severna Park near Millersville? My DH has cousins who live there and her daughter's brownie troop is in Severna Park.

It's a small world.

Looks like the ship is filling up. Could be good, However, I was looking forward to a few less people.

I do not think it is that full because the space availible discount is still there for cast members. I was orginally going to do the 4 night and the space available rate was gone about 2 weeks ago. And it is not sold out yet either. but I guess we will all see sooon......11 days

Also I booked like 2 weeks ago. but I hope they come soon if not we can always get them at the port right?

 

[Chip 'n Dale Express]

You can fill out all of your documents online. However, the mailed package is important because it contains your luggage tags.

We also booked about 2 weeks ago. According to DCL, my documents were prepared on Friday, and should have been mailed out today. My last two sets of documents were sent UPS, and will probably arrive very soon.

(The irony of it all is that I live probably 2 miles from where I think they are prepared and mailed out... but yet, the documents will have to travel through the UPS sorting system before they can get to me)

 

[disneyfaninaz]

Yes, you do need to fill out your forms online (saves time at the port). Don't worry if you don't get your tags, since you're not flying its not that big of a deal as you can get luggage tags from the porters at the port.

 

[thtrmike]

Thanks guys for all the help. Our forms are filled out online and contract is printed. I guess the hard part is over.....LOL

Is any one else going to have fish extenders?

I saw a thread about this and thought it would be fun. So I think I might get one....

 

[thtrmike]

Ordered my Fish extender today and got a bunch of fun little giveaways for others with fish extenders. Cant wait to meet everyone.....9 DAYS YEEHAW

I never say it was.. There are still rooms left and Disney will keep the CM rate up until it is 100% full.

Oh I was unaware of that sorry. I tried booking the 4 March 9-12 and The discount was there on Feb. 3 went to book on feb. 7 and the discount was gone but could have booked at any Cat. at the full price rate. I did not mean to sound rude I just found it intresting.

 

[thtrmike]

Ok guys I have an Idea. I have some really cool gifts for people with FE's. but, I also have some very neat and special prizes but are limited in number. I was thinking about making a crossword/scavenger hunt about WDW and DCL and have people return them to the room and I will get them the prizes to whomever turned them in first....Let me know how this sounds?

 

[disneyfaninaz]

Sounds like fun! Maybe you could bring it to the DIS meet on Saturday and hand them out.

 

[thtrmike]

Ok great will do I was just waiting to hear some feedback one reply is good enough for me I will get to work on them.

 

[thtrmike]

OK I have completed it. It is a word search so no scavanger hunt all though it should be just as fun. I will have 6 Prizes for the game but am bringing other fun things for giveaways throughout the cruise as well. Let me know how many people will be at the meet on Sat. so I know how many copies I should make. Thanks

Chelsea,

Millersville is right down the street.

thtrmike... I would say make enough copies for everyone. I know that would like to be at the DIS meet but we don't know what time we are getting to the ship. We have a few stops to make before we make it to the cruise. We are going to be a little cheap and go to the liquor store to get some wine for dinner... and maybe some other types of drink so we don't have to spend a lot of money one the ship just for drinking....

 

[thtrmike]

Sounds good I will make several. I am just going by publix and put my stuff in a soft sided cooler. 24 pack and probably a bottle of wine as of now.
