BUCANEERS TAKE OVER THE WEST CRUISE! Apr 3-10 2010

[Happy Halter]

We will be on this cruise with lots of crazy family (asingley)! We are traveling with my parents, brother, sister in-law, and 2 nephews (8 & 4). My husband and I have 3 - ages 11(DD), 8(DS), and 19 months(DD). My big kids are so excited! I hope we meet lots of new friends!!

For all of the excited first timers

My boys and I just made a countdown paper chain (in the Disney colors of course) to count down the days!!! Woo Hoo!

40 Days!!

That sounds like a fun idea!

We just got our luggage tags, etc in the mail today!

We just got our luggage tags today, too. On a whim, decided to upgrade my room. In a panic a few months ago, I downgraded to an inside standard room. Today, I just changed back to the oceanview room. What's a cruise if you can't see the ocean from your room, right?

Any other interest or discussion around fish extenders?

 

[gomagic]

Got our cruise docs today too. What a great suprise when getting the mail.

Just got home from cruise shopping (trying on swimsuits is going to be the end of me! ), and our luggage tags were delivered!!!
Now let's hope DD "approves" of the dress I bought her for formal night (I actually got 3- one of them has to work, right? ).
I think I lost the battle with DH over the tux, but at least he is fine wearing his suit.

White, everything is white! Snowed in so I decided to get the kids to start going though stuff to see what we need to buy. Going cruise shopping Saturday with DD! This should put me over the edge. Haven't even thought about bathingsuit shopping for myself (ugh). Waiting for our tags, not yet here!

My DS wants to make special autograph books for himself, his sisters and 2 cousins. Can some of you "return cruisers" give me an idea of the characters that we will see while on the cruise?

Hi all, I'm Mary Kate and I am sailing with DD6, DD3 and my mom 81. This was a last minute booking as I am so sick of all the snow here in the NE. This will be DD6 and my 2nd cruise with Mickey, DD3 1st cruise ever and first cruise on Disney for my mom. We are in cabin 2109. And have 1st seating at dinner.

I was reading last night about who was going and am glad to see some kids near my daughters ages. I read up on what FEs are and if it's not to late can we join in?

Does anyone know if adults can go down the Mickey slide? DD6 can be afraid sometimes and if I went down first she might go down. Another option, I saw a lot kids her age and older she might do it if they do. Once she saw how much fun I know she would be on it all the time.

40 Days!!

We made our paper chain today! 31 days until we leave for FL and head to WDW for a few days before the cruise!

Bought the material in hopes of making our own FE's...not sure how they will turn out, but I'm going to at least attempt it. What is the best way in proceeding with organizing it?

Is anyone else dressing up for pirate night?

I don't even want to think about buying a bathing suite. UGH....

I don't know who is more excited, the kids or the hubby!!!

 

[TheMouseGeeks]

Okay, now that DD and I have read up on all that is FE, we would like to join in. Have guidelines been set for our sailing?
Tomorrow is March 3, which means we are only 1 month away!!!!

Hi Mary Kate. I have a dd6 and a dn6 . Hopefully they can meet your girls. We are so excited about the cruise. This will be our second time on the magic.

Hi there - My DD (9) and I are definitely interested in participating in the FE's. I've read up on them, just not sure where we go from here to get it organized.

Anyone know what needs to be done to get it organized?

Jumping in here late (didn't know about the DIS Boards until a friend of my DW was talking about it - love these boards).

Anyhow, just stopping in to say hi. I'm Tim, my wife is Lisa and we're traveling with our daughters Tammy and Laurie.
