Aug 12-19.2013 Mickey's Mouseketeers -Alaska Cruise

[mr.tom.morrow]

We just joined the FE group, looks like a nice sized group...should be a lot of fun.

I am finishing up my FE today and will start working on my gifts next friday. I have a plan just need to get some supplies. We now have 14 cabins in our FE exchange. A couple cabins don't have room numbers, be sure to add those as soon as you know. If anyone is interested in making a ship map with all the FE cabins highlighted that would be awesome. If not, no big deal.

Only 76 days!

I would be happy to make a ship map of the cabins in our FE group. Once the list is closed I will post it.

Looks like I'm the one whose cabin number is missing!

As soon as I find out what it is I'll post it.

The first cruise left yesterday for Alaska - means ours is getting closer. Made 2 FE's yesterday and one more to go - starting to think of gifts for all the people on our list. Can't wait till it is our turn.

I've been watching the bridgecams on the Sapphire Princess and the Diamond Princess, which travel between Whittier AK and Vancouver. It seems to rain a LOT in AK! Bought some waterproofing treatment to put on my jacket and walking shoes.

Can't wait for the trip!

Did we set a cutoff date for the Fish Extender exchange? I want to get started on our items, but I'd like to make sure I have a final headcount of participants before proceeding.

The cruise is finally starting to seem real now. My husband and I stayed up until midnight so we could book our excursions and adult dining. Very excited that we got everything we'd hoped for -- brunch at Palo, the Yukon Expedition in Skagway, a gold panning activity in Juneau (we're also doing a private whale watching cruise), and the Bear Country and Wildlife excursion in Ketchikan.

One thing we noticed last night is that Disney has replaced Pirate Night with something called Pixar Pals night. Kind of bummed since we bought pirate costumes for the girls the last time we were at WDW! We might still show up for Pixar Pals night wearing our pirate gear.

We were talking about having the cutoff 1 month prior to our sail date

Sneak peek at our FE holder...

 

[wachnicki]

Very cute! I especially like the Mickey head for your daughter. Did you make it yourself?

 

[vgrandy]

The Mickey heads are iron ons I got from etsy $2-3 each. I added iron on letters I got at the craft store.

Welcome to our group Sherry! My family of 11 took the Fantasy last August. Such a beautiful ship. Been on the Magic, Wonder, and Fantasy but still need the Dream. Looking forward to our cruise in August.

It's official. DD17 is going to miss the first day of school because we will be getting off the ship.
Poor planning on this mama's part.

Hi everybody!
I'm Meghann and I will be on this fantastic cruise with my aunt, Danny! It will be her first Disney Cruise, for me, it will be the second time (I was on the Dream last october in the Bahamas and it was just incredible!). Our excursions are booked and we will experience the Palo twice, for the dinner and the brunch! I'm so excited about it!
In fact, it will be our first trip to Vancouver (we're from France), so we're a little bit anxious too! But we can't wait!
Have a nice day

Same here. Our school doesn't usually start until the Tuesday after Labor Day, so I thought for sure we would be fine with this cruise date. Of course, the district decided to completely redo the school calendar this year and start August 19th instead.

Thank You so much Sherry 66!
We can't wait to share this wonderful trip! More of that, we're so excited about our excursions! In Juneau, we will experience the Dog Sledding on the Mendenhall Glacier by Helicopter (my aunt can't wait to see the dogs!), then the Liarsville Gold Rush Trail Camp and Salmon Bake Featuring Exclusive Disney Character Experience in Skagway and, finally, the Alaska Rainforest Sanctuary & Crab Feast in Ketchikan. Did somebody among you chose one of this activities?

I've never been on the Wonder, how is it? Did You already experience it?

Have a nice day! ^^

Welcome to our cruise feed! I have been on the Wonder, Magic and the Fantasy. I loved the Fantasy but the Wonder is great too! I like the smaller ship and we had a great time on it. On the Fantasy they didn't do some of the things for kids that they do on the Wonder because of the size. I have been to Alaska several times so I didn't plan any excursions. Just going to wander around the towns and relax on the ship. Finally yesterday booked the airlines and car rental so now I can sit back and wait till August.
