6/13/2009 Western on Magic- Our Cruise Chat Continues!

[DisneyBaby2004]

Their tours look like fun but I'd be too chicken to drive a Wave Runner with myself and DD

Let me tell you I am freaking out. I am getting two ski because I am afraid hubby will throw me off if I ride with him. I am going to be in complete open water!!!

But I "have" to challenge myself to do things I am afraid of - but to an extent. I am the type that will try most things once.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if I could join the FE Exchange? I know it is terribly late, my fault, I don't really know how it all works and didn't realize I should have signed up a lot earlier. I realize most people would not be able to give but if anyone had any extras, I would love it if my kids could receive a little "magic." We are in two staterooms but will probably just hang one fish extender. We are in rooms 6305 and 6303. DD Madison is 7 and DS Anthony is 12. Not to worry though, someone told me to make a few "secret" gifts for my own kids and sneak them in there. Any extra gifts will just be icing on the cake!

Where do I find a list of rooms, we have some gifts to give. I want my kids to experience giving, and doing random acts of kindness, I think that is something all children should experience. The FE Exchange is such an awesome idea!

I can handle the extra. Thanks for listing the ages... those are the gifts I have left over!

I can get some extra FE gifts as I have yet to purchase anything. I am such a procrastinator! I also have a DS age 12. PM me if you want them to chat as they will both be Ocean quest age group.

Which is reason #782 why I don't have a hubby

I called DCL to see if "The Proposal" w/ Sandra Bullock is going to be played onbard and she said yes. She said it comes out 6/12 but website says 6/19 so not sure. So exciting - that movie looks funny.

 

[disneydreamer82]

Really? AWESOME - I can't wait to see it! I thought they only showed Disney Movies on board. I was thinking UP would be playing.

I think UP will be playing too, I read that you can call the week before you leave to see exactly what's showing onboard during your cruise

It's suppose to be very easy. The comments are they have small groups only 6 waverunners. It's like going our with friends. I bet you could do it!!

 

[sinnika]

OK, I'm still procrastinating on the FE gift. I am considering ordering the silicone wrist bands and customizing with our cruise date info. In the Dis green of course. Thought it is a great way to find other Dis'ers in our FE group when we are out and about on the ship. I know, I know, now you might know what my FE gift is. But I want to make sure someone hasn't beat me to the idea. If someone is already doing this as an FE gift, please PM me so I don't get the same thing. Then I'll rely on my procrastinator backup FE gift of Southwest airlines peanuts!

I love the idea and had them made up for a PTA school thing but they did take 2+weeks to get in since most of these come over on a slow boat from China. So if that doesn't work out, ditch the peanuts, and bring the mini-bottles of booze from the flight, please.

Love the idea but do you have time to get them in?

Any ideas or suggestions for Key West? We are looking to do a beach and some snorkling on our own.

Thanks!

Welcome to the cruise and to this thread.

We have extra FE gifts to include your stateroom in on the fun. You can find the FE participants and their room numbers on the Web Site for this cruise.

Look under Gift Exchange for the info

Talk to you all soon,

An almost FREE activity is Ft Zachary Taylor park. Its $1.50 pp to get in, free tour of the fort at 12noon and 2pm, and snorkeling too! The ocean floor is a bit jagged there so shoes are recommended. Its run by the Florida park services. Check out both sites - the first has alot of the history, the second has more details about where, how much, and great photos! They also have a cafe there with pretty reasonable food choices!

Welcome. I probably have just enough to add your family as well.

This is great thanks!! Now just have to figure out which stop this is on the Trolley Tour. The tour would be great. Thanks

There is no rhyme or reason to the Trolley stops ~ the closest stop would be 5 (Bahama Village Market) but it is still a couple blocks away.

Hey - I can include the 4 of you. I'm Diane and my DS Larry (14), we are in 6315 as of right now (fingers crossed for an upgrade once I get to port, even if I have to pay a little for it).

There are 4 right? Just wondering since 2 staterooms.

The FE Gift exchange info is on page 1 of the thread.

Yes, there's just four of us. I'm Jennifer, DH Seth, DS Anthony (12) and DD Madison (7). Looks like we're going to be neighbors (kind of) if you don't get upgraded. I would love to, but don't want to be let down and can't afford to pay for one. So I'm just going to be happy with the cat 11 upgrade we did get. Thanks for including us!
