Awesome idea about the pirates shirt. I need to get one, but everything out here is for the Reds.

It is a really cute idea for pirate night!! We are huge baseball fans!!! (incase you didn't guess )

Oh, I also wanted to remind everyone, especially the new cruisers.... to pack bathing suits and sunscreen in a carry on bag the day of the cruise. The pools, hot tubs, and Aquaduck are open before you can get to your stateroom and to your luggage. I know my boys want to head straight there when we get on the ship. I think we are going to try to grab a table out on deck and go to Cabanas and grab food to eat while they swim/go on the duck...

Great idea. We are able to ck in at the terminal at 10:30 so hopefully we are one of the first ones on the boat. We will go straight to the duck.

We are at 11:00...and starting Aug 2nd the terminal won't open until 11:00 anyway. I can't wait to hear what a mess this is going to be for the first few sailings. Hopefully, by the time we get there, things will have settled down a bit! I just can't imagine what is going to happen to the people who either don't know or don't care and just show up at 9:30!!!

I wonder what they plan on doing with those of us that has 10:30 arrival times? I will just have to tell my husband to not stress out

From what I have been reading everyone that had the 10:30 time now also has the 11:00 time too! The thing is that they have done a really poor job of letting everyone know.... I think it is in small print in the documents that the terminal doesn't open until 11am.... the other problem is that now there are 2x as many people in the 11-11:30 time slot! I think we will just have to roll with it and just try to be as Zen as possible.... we can't get onto the ship until around 12ish anyway, so all we are really trying to get is a better number for that time.

I had a 10:30 arrival time and looked today. It's been changed to 11:00.

It will be interesting to see what happens. We're just gonna relax and go with it LOL

Hey Jamey:

I am not counting my 21 year old daughter as a adult.....I guess I should?

Maybe that is the difference between our totals?

Gary, I also counted her as a child. She'll LOVE hearing that

 

[Gary Pinkos]

This is our first time with fish extender. Does anyone bring extra gifts......at least for kids, in case the oppourtunity comes up to give new friends gifts who may not of heard of this before?

I know not everyone has heard of the DIS and I know there may be a stateroom or two that never heard of FE gifts.

 

[BalooHoo]

Interesting. I still have a 10:30 port arrival time listed. I'm sure it will change to 11:00 sometime before August 12, but I wonder why they didn't change everyone at the same time. It will be very interesting to hear reports of what happens on the August 2 cruise.

 

[jlwatkins]

I've just checked too and we also still have the 10:30-11:00 arrival time slot.

Luke will also get stuck straight into pool/aqua duck - we did this last year and ate in goofeys galley on the wonder which was great for a snack lunch.
I will be looking out for my first bahamamama!

Don't forget a towel in your carry-on and a spare change of clothes.

Gary - I brought extras last trip. I can't tell you what it was (because I'm doing part of the gift again) but we handed them out on deck one evening too. Which brings me to this - is the last posted list correct? I just need number of cabins and total number of people (kids and adults). I've counted 16 cabins and 52 individuals. I also bring extras because I don't trust my count!!!

Thanks! This is very cool! I was watching the Dream while reading my book and pretending that I was already there...

(I just got in from taking Maggie out and you would think you were in FL it is so hot out there...)

Congrats to the Pirates! Regis was talking about them this morning on Regis and Kelly! I am watching the Phillies right now - They just tied it up!!! Go Phils!!!

We are leaving in 22 days! I am not looking forward to the drive down, but I sure can't wait to get there!!! The only problem is that it means that summer vacation is over when we get back, and I am always sad to see it end. I've even started seeing the Target Back to School ads!!!

You'll be amazed at how much room they take up. At least you're driving and won't have to put it on a plane.

 

[levisfam]

OK, I've been working on my FE gifts too... Soooo excited now! Can't contain it

I went with 16 and 10 for the adult number... Well actually I went with 16 1/2 and 10... Gary's daughter will be happy to know that I didn't include her as a teenager and Gary will be happy that I didn't include her quite as an adult yet

Man I love these little pictures. I wish facebook had them...

OK one more little picture... OMG can you believe they have Sully??
