August 29th, 2009--Eastern Magic...Let's Get it Started!

[jel0511]

Count us in!!!! This is our first Disney cruise, where the kids can and want to stay up past 11pm!!!!! So, we'll be able to do more of the adult entertainment!!!!!

 

[skiingwife]

Yeah! We'll be a team, Lori and Darren. Anyone else?

Do you think the people who have played before know what they're going to ask you to bring up and come prepared with all the stuff? I saw a video of it on YouTube and I don't know how these people get stuff so quickly, like a ladies bra? Do women carry an extra in their purse? I only know of a couple things they ask for. Maybe they do it differently every time. But it sure looks fun!

Sign us up too. I'm sure our girls will be in the Stack or somewhere as long as we're not embarassing them.

For those of us that paid it oil hit 71 a barrel. If I have this right our date was June 18! Rats!

This is a last call of sorts to join the FE group. You will have until Sunday, 6/21 to pm me (if you don't have enough posts to pm just post it in this thread) if you would like to join with full participation. That is a just about a week after the 75 day mark when final payments are due. After the 21st you will still be able to join, but your name will be in a different color on our list signifying that you joined late. At that point, you may not receive something from everyone on the list, (I have heard from several that say they have extra, so you will get something, just can't guarantee how much) as some people need to order and make things and may not have enough for late comers.

Once again, I just wanted to send out an advance notice to the date full participation would be closed out, and to let any late comers know that if you would like to join in the fe experience, you would still be able to do that. The date we have chosen to stop taking participants of anykind is Aug 9th.

The current list is on p 62 post 923. I will post a new copy on the 22nd with the finalized full participation list, after that I will update it only if someone else joins.

I read in the newspaper that they are expecting oil to hit $80.00 a barrel in the next two weeks

I paid in full with points on April 3rd. I hope I don't get hit with this!!!!!! It stinks for you who had gotten it refunded as an OBC and now could lose it!

Hi all, we are on this cruise in August too! Great price, ofcourse we start school a few days later, but who cares

I need to figure out the FE thing. I will try and read back and figure it out, then I will give the info I need to participate. This will be our 2nd Disney cruise (4 night Wonder Feb 07) but I never visited the meet area before. We did the door magnets last Feb and my kids loved it. Getting excited, working on all my lists, trying to remember all the tips from last time!

Wow, sounds amazing. I'd love at least a mini trip report when you get back.
Have a great time!

I'm hoping the cabin numbers come in quickly, as that will help me get these in order!!!!

Me too! This is the first time we've booked GTY status, and I'm not loving it.

skiingwife & family have our favorite staterooms... we've had those cabins a couple of times, and last cruise we had their starboard counterparts. It will feel really strange if we don't get an aft cabin assignment.
BTW, feel free to shoo us away if we're standing outside your door looking lost Melissa.

My TA called about the fuel surcharge. Yes we paid it (we booked 9/08), yes we get it back as OBC... Do the math... 200 for rebooking, 150 from AAA, 133 FS refund... cha-ching!

For those of us that paid it oil hit 71 a barrel. If I have this right our date was June 18! Rats!

The site I found said oil would need to be below $70 a barrel on June 17 for folks to get the surcharge back as OBC. But I don't think anyone who booked on 12/01/08 or later paid it. Is that right?

Welcome to our group! I have sent you a pm about the fe.

I know it's a little early, but I want to make sure to catch Magic Quest the first night. The first cruise we were on, we came in late and saw the tail end but it looked like lots of fun. Since it's only my husband and I, we need some people to be on our team. I don't know how many can be on a team, but maybe a bunch of us can all go and put together a team. Anybody else want to play Magic Quest?

What is Magic Quest??

 

[skiingwife]

Magic Quest is like a scavenger hunt for adults. It's held in Rockin Bar D on Saturday night. You play in teams and each team has a number. A CM stands up on the stage and announces an item that each team needs to bring up and show him. (Another CM is recording the team numbers of those teams that bring the item up so in the end they can announce the winning team.) For example, the CM might say he needs one person from each team to bring up a straw or a chapstick (whatever). But it gets to be pretty funny when the CM says something like he needs to see a male member of the team with a purse and a pair of women's shoes and lipstick, and the male needs to be wearing them all. It's a mad scramble to get up there as fast as you can. It looks like a lot of fun.

What is Magic Quest??

Personally, I've never been, so I really have no clue. I have heard about a game called Quest on RCCL, so I assume it's a more "disneyfied" version of RCCL's game. It's basically an adult scavenger hunt, where they ask for rather strange items.
