April 29, 2012 ~ Aloha! ~ Wonder to Hawaii- who is with me?

[DisneyPinDiva]

so I don't want to start any sort of political dialogue or bru-haha here on the thread....but I am excited to say that we aren't certain about details because we haven't set a firm date yet...but that there is a VERY good chance that following the vote last night in the NY state senate that this cruise to Hawaii will be my and Jason's official honeymoon!!!

(We're definitely getting married legally at the courthouse the first day the new law goes into effect so that we have the papers and benefits.....but then we're going to plan a ceremony/reception for friends and family later on with some time to plan....and one of our possible plans is to do it right before this cruise so that this can be our honeymoon )

Erik and Jason, so happy for you guys! Thought of you both right away when I heard about the vote. Hawaiian honeymoon... how much more magical could it get!!

I cannot copy and paste it here because I am on my I-phone and it is all or nothing with the copy-paste skill for me. If there is a way to selectively copy I have not figured it out.

took me a little while to figure it out but it's fairly easy once you get the hang of it...... instead of tapping "select all" tap "select" and you will get a bar with a dot on each end... move the dots either way to select what you want then hit copy, cut etc. then paste. Hope that makes sense as I am not the most technologically adept person ... Right Bob?

Since I have numerous PM's and some posts about doing a "Welcome Wagon" post, I will start one in a few days. I will post for feedback from the organizers. If any of the organizers have time, please PM me with what you would like me to say in a "Welcome Wagon" post for newcomers.

New signature for Hawaii if anyone is interested...It is not as tall so you can fit other info/items above or below now.

I hope all is well with everyone! We have been so busy I have not been on the boards in months! I try to keep up on facebook as much as I can! I will post more logo items in the next few months!

If you are willing I thnk anything that helps us stay organized and not miss out on special events is great! Thank you for offering.....

If my vote counts, I'll second Noel - she's amazing! Wait till you see her posts & orgainzational skills. Too die for!

I think you do a wonderful job of being the welcome wagon!

Hey guys - I was SO excited when I heard about NY...congrats and what a great honeymoon...

I think you should set a day and time on-board for all of us to meet together in one of the bars to have a drink and a toast so we can celebrate with you!

I agree...just say where and when! I am sure Michael and I will be there....

Just got back from a Dream cruise and stay at WDW. Had a fantastic time. The Aquaduck is so much fun!!! Now just trying to catch up on what I missed.

Erik and Jason, this is so wonderful!!! What a fabulous place for a honeymoon!

DId you notice if there was a champagne tasting at Pink on Nassau day? We're trying to figure out if this is a fairly routine event or just totally random.

I will give it a try. Thanks. Makes sense to me, now to see if my fingers are too big for the task .......

I just checked the Navigator for that day and didn't see anything listed.

Hey everyone,

I know I promised updates about lanyards on a weekly basis...but life has been a little nutty. So here's an overdue call for lanyard sign ups!!

There are already nearly 200 people who have signed up to receive FREE custom lanyards for our cruise (courtesy of the members of the "Lanyard Team"). If you want lanyards for yourself and/or your traveling part, please make sure you send me a request for the lanyards. YOU MUST SIGN UP SEPARATELY FOR THE LANYARDS SO MY LIST IS ACCURATE!! To sign up for the lanyards, I need you to send a separate email to dcl.hawaii.lanyards@gmail.com that includes your DIS Name(s), First name(s) and stateroom number.

If you aren't sure if you have registered for your lanyards yet OR you want to proofread to make sure your info is correct, you can view my master list by clicking on this link: LANYARD MASTER LIST.

Hi everyone,

Before we know it we'll all be packing for this ~*~*Wonderful~*~ cruise!
I would like to start organizing the Meet and Greet and Stateroom Tour.
Here are a couple of ideas and I would greatly value your feedback.

Meet and Greet
I know that everyone is very busy on the first day but it still may be our best option for a Meet and Greet. We would have to figure out the best time and place. Possibly in the Promenade Lounge, time would have to be finalized closer to the cruise. Another option since there are so many sea days is to have the Meet and Greet a few days into the cruise.

Stateroom Tour
As I'm sure everyone enjoys seeing other staterooms categories and their differences. I am looking for volunteer to offer their staterooms for the tour. At this stage we need staterooms in all categories. Please PM me if you would like to participate.

Anyone who would be prepared to assist me with organizing the Meet and Greet and/or Stateroom Tour please PM me too.

Thank you all in advance.

First day Promenade Lounge is perfect for a meet and greet. Around 3 usually works well. Later in the cruise DCL has activities scheduled and there is no way to know when those things happen (DVC, CC events, etc)

We are in an 11 sideways and can offer our stateroom for the tour.

Question withdrawn.

 

[ibouncetoo]

I am on the lanyard team and wondering everyone's opinion on using it as my FE gift. What are your thoughts?

Some of the past cruises I've been on, yes, the lanyard team counted that as their FE gift if they were participating. We've also had other team gifts for FEs (mouse pads, dry erase boards with logo, etc)

.

 

[Happy Goofy]

Kugalbelle- I sent you a PM. The first day on ship for the Meet and Greet would be good but usually everyone is hurrying to get back to their rooms for the life boat drill and we really do not get enough time to actually talk to many people. Whatever you decide I will be willing to help.
