If you are in the second list (or even a newcomer) and still wish to join in, please post your info in this format to the thread. I will add it in.

Should we discuss a cut-off point, either based on date or group size? At this point, if everyone in this post joined, we would have 10 rooms in the group. But I am just putting that out there. I don't want to be the only one making decisions because this should be a fun thing and I don't want anybody to feel cheated or upset. So please, voice concerns if you have any. I will happily listen and try to work with everyone.
 
Just joined up! Was wondering if anyone has used the DCL navigator app. while on the ship to stay in touch with family on board? Trying to figure out what works best for my 13 year old while in club.

We used the navigator app last time we cruised (last March) and it does work, but we found there was often a delay in messages coming through, and it is a big battery drainer. I found it good for general check-ins with the rest of our family but we still ended up carrying the wave phones since we had little guys in the club/nursery. If you're just looking for your 13 yo to check in when they are changing activities/locations it would probably work fine.

Just wondering why it drained you battery? Do you have to keep checking it or does it make a tone when you get a message?
 
I found that if you leave the app running in the background it used a lot of battery life. It will give you a little flag notification for new messages if you leave it running, but no tone alerts. But if you don't keep it running you don't get the alerts - we did a lot of turning it on and off and refreshing to try to manage the power consumption/retrieve texts. It was almost a year ago that we used it last though and it was still fairly new then, so they may have done updates to improve the functionality since.
 
@Woodward4 I updated your info for the FE exchange.
@Doglvr27 Welcome to the thread!

How are everyone's FE gifts progressing? I spent a good portion of the weekend working on some of the adult gifts. I think I got the "hard part" done though. As a reminder, you can find our Fish Extender Exchange list on page 2 of the thread (or just click here). Group 2 is still open.

I spent most of this weekend working on mine as well (two sick kids and a big rainstorm made it a good time to say inside and craft!). I have one more component to actually make and a few more bits and pieces to fill in but I think I'll be able to actually start packing things up in the next week or two. I tend to pick things up as I go just in case, and as always I end up with WAY too much stuff, and too many ideas. Guess we'll just have to book another cruise!
 
Hi everyone. Would the folks in Group one please reply with their shirt sizes, please? 98 days and counting.
Thanks!
 
Finished online check-in a few hours ago. Did Palo reservations at midnight Eastern (9pm my time). How did all you other Castaway Club silver members fare?
 
I did mine last night (at 9pm) as well - it was a little weird as I was able to do the excursion/Palo bookings right at 9, but the actual check-in option wouldn't show up until a bit later. Happy to have it all taken care of, with all of the times/options that we wanted though!

Does anyone know when the port actually opens in Vancouver? We have an 11:00 PAT, but I wasn't sure compared to PC when that means we should actually head down to the terminal.

I don't know unfortunately. I am using Disney Magical Express so I didn't have the option to choice my PAT. It just said it was taken care of by Disney.
