Anybody signed up for any extra activities while on Nassau or Castaway Cay? We are going to try the Dolphin Encounter at Blue Lagoon Nassau. Also doing the Jet Ski at Castaway. We did the jet ski last time and had a blast. We are so exited! Can't wait!

We're doing the Atlantis Beach Day plus I booked the Dolphin Cay Shallow Water encounter separately through Atlantis (came out cheaper). So once we finish going through the dig and aquarium we'll head over to do the encounter then maybe lunch and depending on what time we have to be back at the ship, a little beach time. I think we'll play it by ear at Castaway Cay. I'll see what dd wants to do once we get there. More than likely she'll want to just hang out a Scuttle's and play with other kids.

We are doing the Dolphin Encounter and Observer. I like to observe! The girls are going to feed the sting rays and the guys are going to hang on beach. Ann Marie and I are going to get cabana massages in the am on CC! I'm DREAMING bout that!

I was away for the weekend and when I got back on Wednesday DH handed me an envelope with our cruise docs in it! I was so touched that he waited for me to open the envelope! I am going to purchase my FE's this weekend as the trying to make them just didn't work for me! Shocker !

I was so thinking about the sail away party the other day and I must share that I got a Mickey Head tattoo just for the occasion! It was a major decision on whether or not to get LGMH in our house! My DD11 even looked at it and said nice Ei but it's the wrong color! I love it that she is so aware!

Have a great rest of the day! I'm off to a planning meeting and possibly a beer and cheese tasting.

Quick question, what are any of your opinions on the refillable beer cups?

Thanks. I updated the list above with Cabin number and both children!

We can't wait!

We are newbies to the whole cruise and FE thing but would love to be included. I was able to use two of the kids old work aprons they had from doing projects at one of the big box stores to fashion a pretty good FE.

Awesome!! We added you to the list - go back to page 3 of this thread and you will so your name and details. You will really enjoy the Fish Extenders - it ads a little extra to fun to a cruise that is already a blast.

Please let us know if you have any question whether is be about the FE's or the cruise - we aren't experts but have cruised with Disney about 5 times and are happy to provide details / suggestions from our own experiences as I am sure the other families are.

Best regards,

The CarlonsofVeroBeach

Got my FE in the mail today! I'm craft-challenged so I got mine from ebay . It's purple with Ariel on it! woohoo can't wait! 20 more days!!!

 

[GoofSquad]

I too am craft - challenged and we ordered ours from ebay this weekend. I get points for trying though, but in the end I thought I would do my part and help stimulate the economy.

Are you all on Spring Break that week of the cruise?? Ours here in San Diego is from April 6th to the 17th. The girls are so looking forward to spending 3 day at DW and 4 days cruisin' The only thing they are not looking forward to is being at the airport at 4am that first day
All I know is that CC beach is calling my name!!!

 

[mommy2tati]

Our spring break is from April 9th thru the 19th. I figured we'd get our Disney fix in early this year. But now dd is asking to go to somewhere during the summer. Have no clue where to go though.

 

[LParente]

You can add me to the list of those who owe ebay a big thanks for the fish extender!! I'm good with scrabooking and cards, but anything involving material is a no go! I want to get my shopping done soon for the FE gifts. Are there any guidelines as to how often we are giving gifts? Are we doing kids only?

Some of the things that we have received in our Fish Extender were as follows:

Pixie Sticks, playing cards, crayons, note pads, stickers, coloring books, lip gloss, etc...

Some people put little cards on their "gifts" that indicate who they are from, but for the most part it was anonymous.

Have fun!!!!

You can delete LParente. That's me already in the Gaspardo/Nacinovich Family. Thanks!

Thank you CarlonsofVeroBeach for organizing the FE's. Your AWESOME!!

IS IT TIME TO CRUISE YET

 

[berly0169]

I second the thank you.
Is anyone else doing the land/sea package? We are staying at Poly the three nights before the cruise.
Does the group doing the FE get together to meet each other at some point?
I am getting very excited now There is only 11 more days of work before vacation. That sounds so much better than a bit over two weeks until vacation.

I too am craft - challenged and we ordered ours from ebay this weekend. I get points for trying though, but in the end I thought I would do my part and help stimulate the economy.

I love it! I got as far as reading the directions on how to make them and desided, then DSD looked it over, looked at me, shook her head, and said probably not huh? I may have to use the "stimulating the economy" phrase if that's ok with you!

I have finally finished up our itineraries, this weekend I am going to get 2 of my dresses fixed (strapless and they need straps) and next weekend I am going to pack. DD and I are going to mani/pedis on Friday, 4/10, lunch and then to the airport where we will meet DH. We should be at SSR by 8:30 PM that evening. Yahoo. We're not doing the Land and Sea package because we are using DVC points for our stay before and after the Wonder. We also got our t-shirts for the Pirate party and I got a new tattoo! It's my Mickey ears on my hip! I smile whenever I see it! (Um and that's not because I have good hips! It's purely the mouse!)

yippee!

PS by the way, how long did it take to get your FE's after ordering them from ebay?

I think it all depends on the seller. I ordered mine on 3/17 and received it 3/23.

We ordered it Friday night and she said she would have it in the mail by the end of this week- so we'll wait and see
We are also doing the land/ sea, staying at The Beach Club, Haven't decided which parks we'll hit first, the girls really want to go to one of the water parks, we're just kind of going to play it by ear.
