A little Texas Christmas Magic - 12/21/2012

[MJDisFamCruisers]

It is not a reploacement but another place to share. The FB pages have become more and more popular. The conversation can still continue here but for instance I can share my album from the Christmas cruise last year on FB much easier than I can here on the DIS. People have asked what the ship is like, etc on Christmas and there are also first time cruisers that can benefit from being able to share photos and ideas. I am sorry that you are so disappointed. I don't however think that this is a bad thing...just another way to communicate.

Sorry that we can't share your memories with you on FB and I hope everyone still communicates with DIS.

We are on the list for FE and OE, do we fill in our info on the google spreadsheet or do you?

you do that way everyone can just post and updated when they need to.

 

[skypixy]

Yeah for FB page and Spreadsheet

I added our info already.

We are one family but 3 rooms, want to spread out. My dd21 would like to do her own ornament for the exchange if possible.

Silly but filling in the spreadsheet made me feel official

I added your DD21 as another ornament exchanger.

Thanks so much!

OK, so far we have a total of 13 participating and I feel that now would be a time to set our meeting day/time. I am hoping this won't be too complicated & we can find an opportunity to fit it in for all 13 of us.

After reviewing the Navigators, I am going to throw Sat. (our first day at sea) out there as a first choice. It's nice to meet up early on in the cruise and make friends!
It appears that "activities" don't begin until about 1230, with the exception of maybe a 1030 tour. I would like to propose Sat 10AM meet. After breakfast, before sun time, perfect for a bloody mary.
Now I need to hear from people as far as spa services or Palo brunch booked if you have a conflict. We can find an acceptable day/time for everyone.
You can PM me if you want, or post here.

They tend to do Castaway Club event around 10:30 or 11:00 on that first sea day...we tend to miss it bc we are usually at Palo Brunch. Other than 24th we are open. Also I wanted to let you know that we want to di 2 ornaments if possible...both of my daughters want to participate.

Thank you for organizing this!

Added your DD.
I checked the Navigators for those sort of events, and we are going to have to get a day/time that works for the majority. Fingers crossed!
Also, looks like several people are coming as a family, so if we get many more participants I will look into reserving a lounge/room with DCL. Would love to keep it around the deck/Goofy pool or Diversions. Location TBD.

They don't put Castaway Club event in navigator anymore. I understand though that it has to be the majority I was just letting you know that that is normally when they have that event and it is not in the navigators.

Thanks~ I appreciate it!
On another topic...
Who knows the best way/paper to use when printing magnets? I want to make some for my parents door. Last time I had my old printer & another Diser was nice enough to print some out for our cabin. We have a good printer now, but I don't want to waste ink/magnet paper by setting it wrong.
Ant tips from the pros?

I use my xyron machine to make magnets. So I print on cardstock and then put them through my xyron which puts laminate on the front and magnet on the back.

 

[MJDisFamCruisers]

Brooklyn, your signature picture is so cute! I added my information to the google spreadsheet..thanks for setting that up!

Skypixy, any of the sea days would be fine I like the idea of meeting up earlier in the cruise..I know that they have the DVC member celebration on the first sea day as well. Does DCL charge a fee for reserving a space on board?

 

[skypixy]

Instead of cleaning house I am trolling the Disboard and searching online for a new pirate costume.....really?

Okay, where are you finding the Navigator for our cruise? And, as far as I know that will work for us. Not sure about my kids though. ;0)

I have searched the boards for those posted from other cruises, same ports as ours. Also checked mine from 2010 Christmas cruise & the ones Brooklyn posted. Of course, everything is "subject to change" per each cruise. I was trying to stay away from any dance parties, Mickey 200 & other popular events like wine tastings or "the art of" tours.
We won't get our Navigators until we board. Bring a highlighter so you can circle the events you don't want to miss!

Sounds like it will be tough to find a time and place to make everyone happy. I am all for doing the ornament exchange earlier in the cruise. Maybe we have to bump the time back 1/2 hour to 9:30am. Mimosas or Bloody Marys will be perfect. Isn't there a lounge area onboard that is long and skinny and it has a dance floor and perhaps a piano - I think they had a gingerbread house there on the 2010 Holiday Cruise? Jogging anyone's memory?

It was in Studio Sea. That place is huge! And, as if you are going to wake up early enough to meet at 0930.
Joking. I am still waiting to hear if people have brunch/spa services scheduled that first day...Now, where am I going to find a decent costume??
