5/5/2013 "Cinco de Mayo 2013 Cruisers Party on the Dream!"

[Jelixa]

YES! We are trying to get a princess dress for every night. We have to get together for the princess pictures or maybe a tea party I heard of. I can not wait

Happy Fall, the leaves are turning colors here - such a beautiful time of the year. I found a Belle dress for DGD6, she tried it on yesterday again and practiced walking and dancing in it and she also has a pirate costume. I have a Cinderella dress for DGD1 and will come up with a pirate outfit for her as well. I'm trying to talk the others into at least pirate tee shirts for us adults for pirate night! LOL

Ok, for Fish Extenders - I need some more info about these...I had never heard of them for our other cruises and I'm just not sure if I should attempt it or not. I am not particularly crafty, and am not sure of the details like how do I know how many to bring - do you give 1 per family/cabin or individually? do you give everyone the same thing or different things for different ages, do you do an item per day or one per cruise, once on the ship how will we know who in our group is participating...would anyone care to share the particulars and try to give me some ideas??

 

[Jelixa]

Enjoy your wonderful Fall!!! Its Still kind of HOT here in FL so I am counting down the days we actually get into the 70's for the whole day.

I have got to ask because im not familiar with the code names but what does " DGD6" stand for ??????

As far as Fish exchange :: everything is totally up to you and what your heart decides to give. You could buy the Extender on Ebay or even Etsy.
Im actually making a little simple one on my own. (fingers crossed it come out ok )
If you notice we have all been giving out our cabin numbers so that we all know what cabins to drop off gifts once we are on the ship.

As far as gifts :: you can give each person in the group a personal gift or just give one per cabin. I wanted to make one for each person in our group but I cant seem to get enough detailed info from each cabin. So I am going with 1 gift per cabin with a lot of goodies inside for anyone in the party to love. Then, also whoever lets me know they are celebrating a birthday a little something special.
You can separate gifts and give one item a day or, you can give them out just 1 night of your choosing. Some ppl like to give out pirate stuff as a FE and give it out that night so guests have it for the deck party and dinner.

Hope this helps !!!

OHH before I forget , there is a Fish Exchange group on facebook that I know MrsRomy and I go into in order to peek at all the gift ideas and chat to fellow members.

Hi! DGD6 stands for Dear Grand Daughter age 6.

Sorry for the delay! I have updated the master list on page 2 of this post. Please let me know if I am missing anything or need to update anything. I will keep adding people until 30 days before our cruise.

From what I can decipher, so far we have:
17 cabins
20 AF
15 AM
6 Girls
12 Boys

Participating in the FE exchange can be as simple or as complicated as you want. Gifts do not have to be handmade nor expensive. The FE itself can be fancy/pockets/embroidery/shiny/etc or can just be a drawstring bag. This is nothing to stress out about! All I ask is that if you sign up to participate you give at least one gift to every stateroom that is participating also.

If we have a rush on people joining, I will break up the list into groups so we're not trying to make/buy hundreds of gifts.

I'm pretty sure I'm in that group too

There are just so many AMAZING things out there!!! I put my FEs down for a bit since I realized I didn't know what the final count would be. But I will resume soon...that way I can avoid the mad-crochet-rush at the end!

 

[JustUs275]

Thanks for the tips about Fish Extenders, yes we will participate! I found several things today that I think are a good beginning for making up some goodie bags for the kids.

Max & Terri
Hallie (girl, 6 yrs)
Room 6170
FE: Yes

Tommy & Krista
Addy (girl, 1 yr)
Room 6168
FE: Yes

Hi All Im Drea, Im crusing with Ellen (podsnel). I suckered her into another Dismoms cruise so I could join this time. I think it was a combination of my husband on my nerves, work frustrating me, kids getting the best of me along with a heavy dose of drugs while I was getting my wisdom teeth pulled that got her to book another cruise! Seriously True Story!

And Im so excited, I havent cruised with the mouse since 2008. We did a 7day double dip to Castaway with the family. My kids are going to be SUPER mad that Im cruising without them on top of finding out it a Disney cruise. Im planning on rebooking on board to surprize them later.. as a consolation gift LOL. In the mean time I will be taking them up to the snow this winter for a lot of snowboard time to make up for me being the "MEAN" mommy!

So princess... are you getting married on ship.. when.. (El, I smell wedding crashers. I'lll bring the bubbly! you bring the rice, Kara can bring the tissue, Jen can make us matching blinged out tank tops... saying We know the bride.. via online chat LOL)

OM GEEEEEEE, Drea! Don't scare off the Princess!! Don't worry, Princess Toria- I'm sure Jen will Bling out the tank tops in muted colors, so as not to take away from the bride! J/K- very exciting to be getting married onboard. My dear friend just renewed her vows on the Magic this summer- it was a surprise to both her 4 children AND her DH, and she couldn't say enough wonderful things about the wedding planners at DCL- you have a beautiful wedding to look forward to, I'm sure!

Thank you so much !!! I'm such a pre planner because I'm so forgetful at the last minute. I don't know how you can keep track because I am already so lost .

Just the 2 of you! Oh my goodness you must let me know if there is ANYTHING I can help you with. Weddings can always use an extra set of Hands. Lol. I'm pretty sure I speak for a lot of us on here that we are so excited for you .

ahh thankyou for offering,
there is 1 thing that someone might be able to help me with,
disney have pin badges with just married on that they give out free in the parks but as we live in the uk we wont be visiting the parks until after our wedding
so if anyone is going to the parks before the cruise and they dont mind, would they be able to pick up 2 just married badges, ive been told you can get them at any of the guest services in the parks or Le Cellier in epcot (they always seem to have them there)

here is a picture of what they look like (not sure if you will be able to see it as i dont know if ive done it right sorry)

thanks againxx
ps only 24 weeks on sunday, cant wait!!!!

[LadyZy]

We got those buttons on the ship when we went on our honeymoon two years ago! So, no worries, you can get them on the ship. We also got a honeymoon button

some one who was married on the disney cruise recently said they never got the just married pins on the ship as they asked their wedding co-ordinator for them but they didnt have any
so they had to look round the park for them and i know they are hard to get hold of, they are mainly found in le cellier in epcot or the steakhouse in magic kingdom,
