Hi All,

remembered to download the photo's of the door magents. May do a few more if I have time.

Great door decorations!!!!

Just wondering- if you dont want to dress for formal night where can you eat??? DH really does not want to dress up...should I just get him room service?? LOL!! Is there somewhere else to eat that night besides your assigned dining room??

Formal dress is not compulsory, although some people like to dress up others like myself don't, some like myself wear shirt & tie, some even more casual. Pic below of last formal night we did on Magic, I will dress similar this time.
If you Google Disney cruise formal night you get loads opinions on dress, majority say similar to this thread http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/planning-your-disney-cruise-voyage/90795-formal-night.html
Wear what you are comfortable with, if you want to go formal do if not don't. Your other option is the buffet, personally I think is fine for lunch but not evening meal.

Dave, magnets look great, should be some well decorated doors to look at.

Hello everyone! We have 2 cabins. Booked Cat. 11, chose to upgrade to Cat. 9 guarantee about 3 weeks ago on our own, no one called us. Have not been contacted to upgrade for a fee. Dont' think we will, but am wondering if there are others on this cruise that are still in guarantee status? I check twice a day! Obsessed, yes I am. Thanks!

 

[stsomewhere]

We are still at gyt, too. Dcl did call us to upgrade from 11 to cat9. We asked if we could upgrade to a veranda. We are still waiting fro answer.

 

[jmpurdy]

didn't want to take the chance though. We paid the upgrade fee from 11-9. Really wanted the window. Good to know there is someone else in guarantee like us. We would love a verandah too. Just e-mailed our TA to see what she knows. We are stuck with 2nd seating too and am working hard to have this changed. Will try once onboard also.

Still waiting for room assignment......

If you don't mind me asking, what cat are you?

WOW! There's a lot of action on this board today!

Wayne, thanks for the link to the captain mickey magnet. Do you mind if I use it too? I don't know if copying is frowned upon!

Dave, love all of the magnets!! You seem to really be getting in the spirit.

I have to start working on them soon. I ordered the magnetic sheets today.

I just started putting things aside to pack, last night. I'll get the suitcases out on Wednesday when my little head case of a dog is at the groomer. (She really gets upset when she sees them). And I'll have to hide them in my closet.

I can't believe how close we are getting!! Hope everyone gets their room assignments soon. Have a nice day!!

LOVE the World Scouting Mickey Head.

Watching the clock, because we think we may hear by 1p about our new upgrade offer, if one is to come.

We really like the inside because then we can choose when it is day or night. With an outside there is that pesky window that reminds you of the Sun's instance on its own schedule, (like it thinks the world revolves around it or something, sheesh). Hoping to try the veranda and see if it is worth it or not.

We have a cabin # 6537. But, are waiting for TA to call back. We are happy with the location.

Wayne-
We are in cabin 6537.

Our TA called and DCl offered us an upgrade to cat 6- $1658 or cat 5-$1848.
So, all of you that got upgrades for a few hundres $

We are in a great location.
The kids will enjoy it because they will be able to slep in.

Hi Christi, added your cabin number, Could almost book a 3 night cruise on Wonder for upgrade prices.
Updated list here anyone want anything adding or changing?

Wayne,

How do you do those wonderful large magnets? I've been toying with the idea of doing some for our door but seeing yours I'm wondering how you get such great quality.

DO tell me the secret please!

Wayne, what would you say the ratio of tuxedos is to shirts and ties on formal night?

The way we make them is either design our own or get something ready made from talented people like this http://s628.photobucket.com/albums/uu9/milliesky/ they can, these can be printed as they are or added to. Print on regular paper then laminated. Use adhesive strip magnet (bought off Ebay about $5 for 3 yards) on the back.
Other way is to buy magnetic paper to print on, never done it that way.
Ideas and printable graphics in threads like this on main cruise forum http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2147014

Read thread after thread on the subject, so difficult to answer as every cruise varies. Our last Magic cruise I would say 20% tux, 55% suites, 25% Shirt & Tie, a few casual. This cruise could be totally different.
Tuxedo figures seem to vary between 15-25%.
Great to see some of the familes dressed up, its just not my thing.
