April 2, 2011 - 7 Night Western Caribbean

[MartDM]

I got a letter from DCL in the mail yesterday, saying that some Spa reservations booked online may have been canceled by accident, and that I should visit the website and re-book if necessary.

I did, and my reservation was still there OK. Did everyone receive this letter?

I received it too! I was aware of this several weeks back (can't remember if my TA emailed me or someone posted it here on DIS), checked my spa ressies at that time, and they were all OK.

I rechecked after I got the letter yesterday and they are all still there so I think it's safe to say that whatever glitch they had didn't effect me.

we have one rule when on a cruise: we will do excursions and dinners as a family.

any other time is their time to do as they please. believe it or not, my son actually paged me to come pick him up from the club once; he wanted to hang out with me for a while. he said on this cruise he'll take me to a movie...

50 more days!

Oh that is so sweet!!!

IT WAS -12 DEGREES THIS MORNING. I wish the trip was tomorrow

You and me both!!!!

Hello everyone! Excited to see you all in 49 days! This is our first cruise with Disney! YAY! We will have our little guy in tow. He will be celebrating his 1st birthday a week after the cruise ends!

We are new to all of this so I am still trying to learn all the ins and outs of the "cool stuff" to do on the ship. I have been reading a little about the Fish Extenders on other threads and please COUNT US IN! It sounds like a lot of fun. Do we need to have gifts prepared for every day? Or are we assigned a specific day? Such a great idea. I can't wait to get started on making our FE and our door decorations!

Anything else that we should know about? Or prepare for in advance? I also read in one of the threads about leaving a photo matte at Guest Services with colored markers and they have all the Disney characters sign it for you! Definitely taking advantage of that as well!

Looking forward to meeting all of you!

We are driving on the first to Ocala, staying the night there and driving to the port right after breakfast. We stayed here the first time we cruised, and it worked out great!!!

My Fish Extender arrived last week!!!
I have my suitcase out and things that I need for the cruise are already going in there... like the FE!!!!

It is actually a very nice balmy day here in Biloxi, MS we are finally at last above 60!!!!

We would like to be part of the fish extenders club...i will order ours from Ebay this week as I am not crafty enough to make one. lol.

Please tell me what we do? Do we need to have little gifts to share with everyone participating?
Will you explain to us what type of things we need to give out and for how many people? room numbers, boy, girl? How often? once during the week or daily?

I am so excited to cruise with you all.

Amy

 

[darinb66]

We also will be staying aty the airport Hyatt the night before we cruise.

What type of things on board are there for adults to do? I am sure the ids will leave us standed...

Thanks,
Amy

We are all getting antsy in our house. My mom, 2 sons and myself are flying in the day before and staying the night at the airport Hyatt. The night before we leave DH will fly out and arrive at 7:30 in the morning. My family will be in 7035 and my mom is in 7136. My Aunt is coming over in the next few weeks to help me make our fish extender and I'm planning what I'm going to do for the gifts. Are we doing a small item each day or one gift?

We're driving down, and the plan is to stay with DD, who is a CM at WDW, then have her take us to the port. Save on parking that way.

(Still an outside chance that she could go on the cruise with us, if work schedule permits AND CMs are offered space-available booking!)

That would be cool. Since she makes other people happy. she cn let someone else make her happy

Is anyone else having great weather this week.

 

[paraflier]

It randomly started snowing here today. Weather.com says it will be sticking around for a few days. And here I thought we were heading into Spring.

I'm so excited we have more people joining in on the FE! I just got mine in the mail yesterday. Now to figure out gifts.

There are no hard set rules on the gifts. They can be homemade or store bought; to do with the cruise or from your hometown or just something fun. You can give out on any day you would like and can give as often as you wish.

This is my first time doing the FE so I'm going off other posts I have read here on the DIS. If anyone has first hand experience please jump in.

Next week I will send a PM to everyone in the FE group to get names, email addresses, cabin numbers, and any possible allergy information or restrictions. Once I collect all of that I will create a spreadsheet to email out to each person. I know some are not comfortable having their names and cabin numbers posted here on the internet and I want to respect their privacy.
