OK so I have seen a number of threads about who will be sailing on the Spring Break Frenzy cruise... Just wondering for those folks who have posted and those who have sailed before.... with 4000 on the ship can you really find someone who has posted on the boards??

Just wondering if someone else has kids the same age as mine 11 & 12...Some one to hang with at the EDGE.

Hello there! My DD turns 12 in March, so we're doing an extended birthday celebration. She'll definitely be at the EDGE!

My husband and i are traveling with almost one year daughter. We are traveling with friends with an eleven year old daughter. We will be at disney for two days before the cruise and then universal studios the day after.

Happy to find the boards.

I just saw a commercial for a Disney movie called John Carter. It's being released on March 9 and it's rated PG-13. Maybe they'll show it while we're onboard.

8 WEEKS FROM TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ddeal1957]

Yea!!!! can't wait - 8 wks and counting. I'm so ready for the cruise but I still have so much to get done! Guess I need to start working on my FE items.

 

[mubriankoz]

Has anyone done the stingrays on CC? Impressions? I'm hoping my kids dig it.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing! DD and I have been guessing what they'll show with every movie promo. LOL.

OH NOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Have you all read the rumors about the fast pass restrictions?!?! Oh my, am I going to be upset if we cannot ride TS because our FP time is during our dinner reservations or Fantasmic (or insert any other ride/situation combination here). AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

The rumor is they are going to be sticklers on the times starting March 7. You can arrive 5 minutes early up to 15 minutes late. So in other words, if your fast pass is during a special dinner you've had planned for 6 months, tough luck. This is sooooo frustrating!!!!!!

Yeah I've been reading that all over the place, this could put a big crimp in out park days as well. We are a well oiled machince when we hit the parks in the morning as far as me running to get a fast pass for one ride and the family goes off to hit another one. That being said in the long run this is probably better to keep the fast pass lines short at all times of the day.

Yeah, we're the same way. When I go with my parents, I am the chosen runner, but when my hubby's there, he runs. I get the general idea of making these changes, but what just concerns me is that we'll be having to work to get fast passes that don't interfere with dining ressies made 6 months ago, or Fantasmic!, etc. I think people will end up camping out near the machines until their desired return times come up if they have other ressies that day. After standing in line for 30+ minutes to get a TSM FP, I'm going to be frustrated if I get up there and the return time is during our reserved dinner or Fantasmic!, for example. I have no problem having to make a detour to make it back at a set time, as long as I'm not in the middle of a dinner or whatever. Ahhhh.....

 

[Deb T.]

I am always the runner, too... and I mean that often in the literal sense as you can sometimes find me actually running to get the next FP the minute the old one allows!

I wonder if they would honor a late FP if we produced a dining receipt with a time stamp on it that proved we were in an ADR restaurant at the FP return time??? Would be worth a try. Otherwise, I can see me telling a server, "Keep our food warm, we'll be right back!"

Oh yes, we're running, too! Actually, I kept getting yelled at by CMs in HS in December. They kept yelling (to me and the others who were sprinting with me), "You don't need to run to TSM." Uh, yes we did. I'd just walk for 10 steps or so until they stopped looking, and take off again.

Your idea would be a great solution to me. If you can prove that you are somewhere else in the park (spending money, no less!), then let us on. I can see some people not making ADRs for this very reason. We'll see how it unfolds...

Yes we did the stingrays last year. It was a lot of fun. You first interact with them in shallow water closer to the beach. They swim up on a platform and you feed them. Then you snorkel with them. We had a good time with the snorkeling. We had taken our son to Maui in 2008 and did a snorkel trip with him, he was 7 at the time, and he had a difficult time with the snorkel. Last year with the stingrays he did much better with the snorkel and is now looking forward to snorkeling in Maui this summer. I liked the laid back atmosphere and you were able to explore at your own pace. The calmer waters gave me a chance to really work with Connor and improve his snorkeling.
I have updated the FE and the Roll Call. I am going to post them in the seperate posts. If you haven't given me the names of the people in your stateroom please PM me. It is easier to organize with everyone's name rather than DD or DS or Boy, Girl... If you can't PM me because you don't have enough posts let me know on this thread and I will PM you my email.
Thanks for helping me get this organized!!
Debbie
