We got a sneak peek at Cars Land last night, peering over the walls. Looks so pretty inside, and we could see Lightning McQueen and Mater slowly driving down 'Route 66' .
Grace's current favorite Disney character is Daisy Duck, and fav princess changes weekly. I'm sure soon it will be Merida from BRAVE

We are flying into MCO the night before the cruise. Will anyone else be staying in the airport area and shuttling to cruise terminal the next morning? Let me know if anyone is interested in sharing a private shuttle to the terminal.

Sarah's favorite characters are Ariel, Belle, and more recently Rapunzel. Thanks for asking.

On a side note: Having the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique on the Fantasy so the girls can get dressed up as a Princess for Formal night is pure genius on Disney's part, but then again that's why we all love Disney so.

I agree that BBB is perfect for Formal Night. We got the 3:45 p.m. booking which I wished was at 4:15 p.m. which would have ended closer to 5:00 p.m. and that would have been perfect for Main Dining

Also, Let's do the 12 Week Cruise Dance

I'm giving my 9 yr old princess a BBB makeover package on the first full day (Sunday). All three kids are doing a pirate makeover right before main dining.

Can you update my screen name to kymickeyfan717 - Thanks

Looking forward to this cruise.... (and I just got back a week ago from a cruise )

You might look at taking the Disney shuttle bus from Orlando to the port...it will simplify baggage check in. They pick up at the airport, so as long as your hotel will pick you up and take you to the airport, you are good! That is what we are doing!

Laurenza says she likes all Disney characters and can't pick a favorite . All FE info is correct.
Thank you

Trinity524- DF, DW, DH, DS Stateroom 8092 - Grandpa, Annie, John, and Jack(4). Jack's favorite character is Buzz/Stitch.

So exciting as it draws ever closer. Last night we went out to dinner with the adults of one of the families that are joining us. It is their first time cruising and we got a lot of ground covered.

Could someone recommend a beach in St Thomas. I'm looking for something not too far from the port where we can spend 2-2.5 hours.

The shopping, referred to as Downtown Charlotte Amaile, approx how far from the Port?

 

[minie_meese]

Our FE info is all correct too. If they had to pick a character Nicole likes Mickey and Ceanna likes Tinkerbell but they are both fine with any character.

I'd also like a total count of everyone - even those not on the FE list. We are making lime green laminated Mickey ears that will attach to lanyards, hats, etc so everyone can recognize people from this board. We did this on our last cruise and it worked out great. Even my husband who never goes on the boards had some great conversations with folks wearing lime green Mickey ears.

Don't know if anyone is going to Kennedy Space Center before or after the cruise, but there was a coupon in our Sunday circular today for up to $30 off admission ($5 dollars per person, maximum 6 people). The coupon also had an online promo code you could use. The promo code is INSPIRATION. Offer is good until 9/3/12.

Hi everyone, I've been reading the boards for a while and thought I would introduce myself. We booked not too long ago and are so looking forward to this vacation!

Amy, DH, DS 10, DD 8

 

[Bytor01]

All our info is correct...

Favorite characters...with a specialty...

James- Sorcerer Mickey

Moira- Pirate Minnie (as seen on DCL)

 

[Susiesark]

There are still staterooms available in every category for this cruise, many with GTY pricing. Hope we won't be full. They may open it up to DVC members at special pricing.

Hi all,

Unfortunately we have to drop out of the exchange, sorry for not letting you know by the 1st. We plan to go to Disney after the cruise and need every bit of luggage space that we have. Hopefully we can participate in an exchange on future cruise but for now will just be admiring all your fancy fish extenders!! Thank you to all who are putting so much work into this! Sorry again,

Jenny, Sean and Crewe

I'm hoping we aren't full either. I would love to get DH on another cruise, but if this ship is crazy full, he will want no part of another one!

Ditto. I was hoping since our cruise starts just after the southern schools go back into session that we might catch a break.

 

[suzannecat]

Our info is correct...Suzannecat- Suzanne, Joe, David -14, Eliana -10 Staterooms 8559 and 8563

David's favorite character is Perry the Platypus from Phinieas and Ferb (or Mickey Mouse of course). Eliana is more into the preteen-teen Disney stuff like Jessie or Selena Gomez, Shake it Up, etc. But I think she still likes the Little Mermaid too (prob. much easier to find)...thanks!

[krisgils33]

Our FE info is correct.
My DD is more into Selena and the other pre-teen Disney shows than any of the Princesses.
Thanks!
