9/7/06 10 night Wonder Southern Caribbean "Cruising in WONDERland!"

[DisneyGirlTinkerbell]

Ok...don't ask why I'm up at 3 in the morning!

Sandy, I nominate you as our "official" cruise director...you are just having too much fun and we haven't even sailed yet .

I don't have a fish extender, but I will be sure to make/buy one before the cruise.

As for stateroom numbers, some of us with category guarantees don't have our room numbers yet...which I'm hoping is due to an upgrade . Our TA said our chances are good since we booked in Aug. 2005 and they upgrade category guarantee rooms by who booked earliest. She said we may not know the stateroom until docs arrive in late-Aug. I'll update with Stephanie as soon as we know. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I'm hoping it will be worth the wait .

Stephanie and Alex...

I just counted the staterooms on the roster and I came up with 42 rooms with a total of 125 people ... is this what you have?
and only 24 of the rooms have listed their stateroom # ...

Everyone ...
If your stateroom number is not on the list, those of us that have suprises for you will not know where to leave them... please list your room number so we can leave you some trinkets in your fish extenders...

Also... does everyone have a fish extender?

while I'm at it... please note that under Sandysplayhouse, Davina, Derrick and Mariah are in Stateroom # 6087

No I do not have a fish extender!!! Didn't even know what it was until you explained it.

Sandy - How do you play door tag?

I second the nomination! LOL! How do you KNOW all of these things???

Good morning all. We have our fish extenders. We were originally booked on the 11 day and got two that someone had made for anyone who wanted one. We just have to decorate it.

Also: what is door tag??

I remember a few pages back someone stated they were staying at the Holiday Inn before the cruise, who was that? I also booked there, but was wondering how to get from there to the terminal, as they have no shuttle service of their own.

Hi Everyone,

I have my fish extender that I bought from Ebay when we went on the August Repo Cruise. The funny thing is I didn't get it for goodies to be put in it, I got it to decorate outside the door and to make it easier to find our room. Between that and the magnets on our door, even my 3 year old was able to find "home".

 

[sandysplayhouse]

OK... I've only been on ONE other cruise and it happened to be the Magic's Maiden Voyage to Mexico after it did the Panama crossing... there were alot of DISers onboard the MAGIC and THEY were the ones that had all this stuff going on...and ONE of them, whose name I won't mention, cough-ALEX, stayed on the ship and did the Mexico cruise also... (just thought I'd mention that) anyway...

If no one objects, I'll be in charge of Door Tag.

DOOR TAG...
magically, a Mickey Head "tag" appears on your door and you know you are tagged. You then scratch your name off the list and go TAG some one elses door FROM THE LIST (that still needs stateroom numbers) and so on... with a 10 day cruise, we should have plenty of time to TAG everyones door. As long as no one keeps the TAG ALL day.

FISH EXTENDER...
you hang the pocket hanging organizer from the stateroom fish outside your door... DISer's tend to bring trinkets to share with other DISers and we leave them in your extender... nothing fancy, just trinkets, stuff from Walmart, Party City, www.orientaltrading.com, Dollar store... stuff like that. Things that are fun and sparkly or twinkly or bubbly or glowy or pirate or tropical or whatever, if you like it, then share it.

PJ BREAKFAST...
THIS sounds like fun... DISers showed up for breakfast in their favorite DISNEY pjs! Makes for GREAT scrap book pictures!

PIRATE NIGHT...
THIS is such a fun night... the most fun about it is that you dress up like a pirate... my husband, (who doesn't like to do anything that will cause attention to himself) lost his mind on pirate night... he totally got into it, I think it was the mustache or the hook or the tatoos, but whatever it was, we had so much fun and he is ALL into it for this cruise.

PIRATE PICTURE...
ON pirate night, BETWEEN the 2 dinner times... we ALL meet outside of Tritons wearing our pirate outfits for a GROUP photo taken by the ships photographer... which we need to coordinate with Disney and I don't mind being in charge of this, but I feel if Stephanie will take this one as a CATAGORY ONE passenger, that it will get done.

POSTCARD EXCHANGE...
This was very fun for the kids... before the sailaway meet, most of the DISers with kids, planned a meet at Scoops so the kids could get some face time together along with their parents so it wouldn't be so scarey going to the kid clubs and not know anyone ... they brought post cards from their city/state to exchange with the other children... they wrote their names on the back to help remember where each was from... this is a great ice breaker for the kids and gives them something to look forward to as they will be GIVING and RECEIVING the cards... and kids LOVE the cards it is important to bring ENOUGH postcards for all the kids to trade with the kids in their age group... so we need an acurate count of the children and their ages.

OK.. I'm done... what do ya'll think...? Does anyone want to do all this? I do!

(By the way she loves Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and Pooh Bear...she goes Crazy when she sees them)
