Ahoy November 12th, 2009 Cruisers!!

I have read through some of the board but haven't gotten through all of it to know if a magnet swap or fish extenders have been planned...I know it's a short cruise but it could still be fun :thumbsup2


Hi Lynn!:wave2:

There has been talk of a FE. We could do magnets too. Many people are staying at the Radisson in Port Canaveral so there's an "unofficial" DIS Meet at the pool there in the afternoon the day before. There's also been talk of a group going going to Fish Lips for dinner...

Invite your cruise friends to join us here on the DIS boards. We'd love to meet them!
 
On our 1/31 cruise we did FE's and Magnets and it was a lot of fun. For a shorter cruise I would say we should probably do just one due to time constraints. In our group we only had 13 people and it took almost an hour to get everything delivered (we were pretty spread out).

Thanks for inviting us to the meet. I will check w/DH to see if he can get an extra day off. I love to participate in pre-cruise fun :cool1:
 
Hi Everyone!
I tend to agree with Lynn. I have never done anything with magnets but we did do the FE last cruise. We got a lot of really cool magnets IN our FE tho:thumbsup2
DS is begging to do some type of exchange because we had so much fun with the FE last time. One type would probably be best as it is only a 3 day.
I wish (for the bazillionth time) that this was a LONGER cruise!::yes::
 
Anyone else hang their fish extender on the wall hoping to get a surprise???:lmao:
 
I made all my lists of things to do on CC. So we get there, set up on the beach and hit the water. We were enjoying ourselves so much on the beach, the time flew by and it was time to board the ship again....so AGAIN, we missed EVERYTHING there was to do on CC!!! All my lists and preplanning was made in vain!!
THAT SUX!!!!
AND the WORST part.....I woke up before I found out if they gave us another bounceback offer!!!

208 more days..
 
Wendy,

What do you hope to do on your next trip to CC?

I'll let you in on a little secret: they have steak at the adult beach BBQ!
 
I heard sometimes they have lobster too....yum!!!

WE just wanted to tour the whole place. Jessica never made it to Scuttles Cove. We at least wanted to take the tram over to Serenity Bay to see what it looked like. There were a lot of character photo ops that we missed. We are renting bikes for an hour or two and riding all over the island. I heard there is a lookout tower near Serenity Bay that is supposed to be pretty cool.

When we look at the map of CC, it just seems like we barely stepped off the boat, found our spot on the beach and that was it.
 
DD- I know what you mean about CC on our last cruise we had it all "mapped" out until the tram b/t the family beach and SB was down for 30 minutes. We ended up plopping down on a couple of chairs at the FB and lo and behold we ended up right next to our tablemates. We ended up veggin' out for the rest of the day w/a Konk Kooler. Oh well. This time will be different. We are signing up to do the Ecotour which will force us to do at least something on our list :lmao:

OK does everyone think the FE's are feasible? I am not sure if someone has already volunteered to handle the list but if we need someone to do it I am game. I am taking the summer off from school :banana: so I have some free time to do some extra tasks.
 
Wendy your scrapbook is incredible!:worship:
I have a lot of work to do!!!:rotfl:
I really liked it. You are so creative! You really got alot of autographs too! That is so fun. I loved all of your pictures and costuming.All of the details are amazing!
I may have to downgrade my scrapbook to a simple "photo album":scared:
:laughing:

I'm taking the summer off too! :woohoo::yay::woohoo:Man I can't wait! I only have three weeks left in this semester, then I have to really hit it hard in the fall. I've got a TON of work to do for a trip I'm taking to Cambodia in May 2010. I'm going to enjoy EVERY minute of this summer.

We planning to do FE's. Wendy (DisneyDarling07) handled our list on our last cruise. We've got alot of repeat cruisers from our group so I bet she'll help you out - if you ask nicely!:rotfl: (Yep, Wendy I volunteered your help! Sorry...guess I'll just have to buy you a drink to make it up to you!)
 
I know how you feel about taking the summer off. I haven't had a semester off since I got married (11/11/06) so I am way overdue. I plan on catching up on Lie to Me and Hell's Kitchen and doing nothing in general.

It sounds like Wendy will have it under control. Especially after looking at that scrapbook. Pretty Amazing :thumbsup2. I have no problem w/that if she needs any help I will be happy to peel myself off of the couch. :rotfl:

It's nice you guys are cruising together again. I am really excited b/c we are cruising w/out tablemates from last time. They are a really nice couple that we have kept in touch with.
 
How nice that you have made friends with and kept in touch with your tablemates. Ours aparantly HATED us! We sat with them the first night of the cruise and by the second night they were gone! Our head server said that they requested their own table!!! What did we do that was SO BAD that they couldn't face us for the rest of the cruise?!?!

All I can think of is that we spoke a different language then they did and communication was strained and difficult. It all worked out in the end because my DH and I got to have dinner with out son without having any distractions. (It was kind of nice!)

How do you say RUDE in Spanish?:rotfl:
 
We talked it over last night and even though it was fun, we are going to opt out of the FE exchange this time.

If i can get away with packing nothing but my bathing suit and sunscreen, I would be the happiest person on that boat! lol

Thanks for the nice comments on my scrapbook. I'm having a blast working on the book for the cruise....just makes me miss it that much more...

205 days!!!
 
I know what you mean. I love to scrapbook but haven't been able to do anything since the beginning of last year. Ever since I started at UF (GO GATORS!!!) I swear I don't know whether I am coming or going. One professor acts like Mommy Dearest and the other one thinks he's Batman :lmao::rotfl:

Wendy, That stinks you are going to sit this one out but I can certainly understand. I remember last time how long it took to get my packets together UGGGGHHHH but it was pretty fulfilling when it was all over.

If it's still the consensus that we are going to do the FE's I am still down for keeping track of the participant list. Let me know what everyone thinks.

I meant to ask has anyone ever ordered any baskets from Shirley? I want to order DH one and our cruise mates one.
 
I'm a "GO" for the FE.

Wendy & family, we'll miss you being part of the FE fun!

Lynn, if you want to handle it that would be great. (one less thing for me to do:lmao:)
 
OK well that makes 2 of us :thumbsup2

I will start an Excel Sheet today. I will need Names of All Cruisers, Ages, and Room Number. Fellow FE'ers can either post the info in the board or PM me.

When it gets closer I will start announcing the running total weekly in the board and send PM's to everyone participating w/specifics. Sound good? Good. Next book of Business :lmao:

"Alice" - OH BTW I read your TR I am glad everything turned out awesome for you :flower3:. My mom went through 3 scares w/in the last year. I think I was on edge all year. Her last scare came after she went to the DR the day before we boarded for our 1/31 cruise. Needless to say I tried to have a good time but my mind was elsewhere. This cruise is a chance to have the time I wanted to have the first go around and believe me I intend to make the most of it. :banana:
