Bringing Home the Magic - Part 2 - 8/18/07 - 9/01/07- list of cruisers on page 1

[DenverVal]

Just curious - has anyone linked reservations etc for dining? We have early dining. Wanted late but it wasn't available.

Late dining is FULL? I don't think I've ever seen early available and late not!

Have a wonderful time at WDW!

 

[ejw]

hey Val,

you are doing a great job as Dee's unofficial helper.

just 24 more lanyards to be requested and we hit 100.

Okay, Lanyards areunderway. Now we need anofficial page where all the activities and cruisers are listed. If we need to update and add, we can just use the edit button. Someone who knows what is going on needs tobe the volunteer to post and update. Onceposted, declare that"THE PAGE" to go to. On the EB, it was page 1 for list of cruisers, and on page 142 it was the activities, so you see it can even just be this page. It needs to bea very active member. I could do it,but not til Monday, when I have time to sift threw. It would be niceif someone who has been with the thread awhile and knows everything could do it.

Ideas I know of--10-12 girls get together, ladies brunch, ladies tea.

other ideas...Half way party, Mini Navigator to hand out on ship to keep us informed (a one time printing handed out at the beginning of the cruise) , fish extenders so we can give gifts to each other.

List of cruisers is already on page one and already being kept upto date. I don't mind doing the list of activities. I've been through most of the pages anyway. If people want me to I'll sort it out tomorrow morning UK time and get it on here so we know where everything is

 

[DizzneyDAnn]

Hurray, Sarah!!! You're the best. I'll still comb through and make sure we got everything--4 eyes are better than two, right? And everyone else do the same, okay. Really, this will make it all more fun on the cruise.

What do you all think of a fish extender contest? Funniest, intentially ugliest, best Disney theme and such. I'll head that one up, but I'd like to recruit some other "judges" There will be PRIZES!!!!

 

[Mmouse1964]

could someone post a picture of a fish extender?

also, does anyone know if the navigators or menus from the east repo were ever posted?

 

[got2travel]

Good Morning Everyone!!
Even though we just booked last thursday, we received our Cruise Travel Kit from DCL yesterday. It's funny how one can get so excited about mail from DCL.

To all of my fellow newbies just joining the thread:

WELCOME ​

We are going to have a blast bringing the Magic home!!

As in docs for this cruise??? Or some other DCL info? I wasn't expecting anything for a while.

 

[got2travel]

HAPPY FRIDAY!! ​

Oh no not Docs!! (I wish!!) Its the planning packet DCL sends out to prepare you for the TA and Med cruises.

 

[Disney Sweetie]

you are on the same flight as us....leaving JFK at 5:40pm. we are sitting in row 44. where are you sitting? I think there are a couple of other families on this flight too.

ellen

We are on this flight also. We are up in row 11 though. There are a lot of folks on this flight. Should be a party at the terminal!

Jennifer

I am still looking for my flight. I had not thought about JFK..I could catch Jet Blue from New Orleans and fly with all of you guys! I am gonna check on this and see if the price is right!! I would feel so much better traveling with someone going to the same place as me. Cant wait to meet everyone!!!

 

[kaseyC]

Just curious - has anyone linked reservations etc for dining? We have early dining. Wanted late but it wasn't available.
Bev

We are just the opposite. We wanted early but only late was available. I am planning to try and change it once onboard.

Fish Extender contest - DIZZYDANN / DISNEY SWEETIE are organising this. P 177 Post 2645 The first sea day after Barcelona they will be judging the best and worse fish extenders in a number of categories.

Fish Extender List/Information - Fish extenders are additions placed outside your cabin on the fish that marks the number of your room. These are usually like shoe organisers/over the door organisers that attach around the fish hence they are called fish extenders. The fish are used by Disney to post any mail such as invites to the art auctions etc. and this is called fish mail. The fish extenders work in the same way but are used by fellow disers to pass out small gifts to each other. This is a totally voluntary thing and just because you recieve a gift doesn't mean you have to give them. People often make their own gifts or buy token gifts that are small and easy to pack. Again everything is voluntary so dont feel obliged to do anything. RIKIMUK has added a list of those bringing fish extenders in to the navigator to make it easy for people to deliver gifts to those that have them. Please let her know if you are bringing one.

Pirate night pic - To be confirmed. DizzyDAnn looking at this and will arrange for photographer on the boat. Will be 7.30 pirate night outside Lumieres

Room Tour - On at 2pm on the second sea day (23rd August). We will be starting at LINDA BELL's Cat 6 room and going from there. We have confirmed so far rooms in Cat's 11, 9, 7, 6, 4, and 3 , plus 1 GTY 12. So that we can have an idea of numbers please contact RIKIMUK if you would like to join us.

Navigator - RIKIMUK has kindly been compiling the navigators and we will be carrying these with us but also posting a link for those who wish to print it off before the cruise. This is basically a book containing all the information about everything Dis have organised for the cruise. If you have any special dates you would like added to the navigator please let her know and she will sort it out. She is also sorting out a list of rooms for the book so if you have not yet sent a specific room number let her know this as well so she can update, or if you have changed rooms​

Noticable dates
20th August - Formal night
24th August - Susan Egan
25th August - Semi Formal night

We have door signs - t-shirts and plans to make, meets to arrange --

I have reservations about postings pics of fellow cruisers, room #' and chat on the open web - and we will have a private space for those postings. When it is up and running - we will be able to use it. Since it will be a private area - posting the website address is against forum rules - therefore please do not refer to it in posts.

Also - Please remember - when posting this is a moderated - family friendly board.

Hey please add us to the list...there's 2 of us and we are in a cat 12 GTY...thanks!

 

[gpb_1]

Any consensus on the wording for the lanyards yet?

If we can get an agreement I can work on re-wording the t-shirt designs etc this weekend.

 

[Grandma x3]

Good Morning from California & TGIF!


I'm on my way out but - apparently I need to submit full names and reservation #'s for all attendees to the Brunch. I need to fax this to DCL - ASAP. I'm going to phone them on Monday and get some clarification.

Okay full names I still need:

Charmaine, daughter Stacey (Kugalbelle), Laura (eeyorelvr10), Joan
(joanflo)

I need Reservation # from everyone:

Julie, Pam, Kaseyc, Lisa, Sue, Charmaine, Laura, Joan, Christie, Deanna, Claudia, Bonnie

Thanks, I'll check back in this evening.
