Christmas Blanket

[NOLA_Tink]

Did y’all notice it comes with a Fish Extender this year? The guy told me when I called and ordered. How cool is that?!

I forgot to mention that! Thanks! I was about to make our own, so I'm extra happy now!

Seems kind of late in the game to throw in a fish extender--our FE groups closed weeks ago at PIF, and I've had my fish extender ready for over a month. People need to plan ahead, DCL!

Is the picture from this year or last year? If you read the description it is an advent calendar, not fish extender. Online there is no picture yet. I don't know how the Facebook group got a picture if it is not online. I was all set to order mine this morning but DH is like "really??? another blanket?" UGH. I put the bug in my TA's ear that I want it - MIL usually gets us something because we celebrate our anniversary and both birthdays on the cruise. Fingers crossed.

Light Up the Holiday Stateroom Decor
Illuminate your quarters with a Holly, Jolly package that includes an exclusive Disney Cruise Line holiday-themed gift hanger, a holiday-themed door magnet with an advent calendar, five hanging garlands, shaped ornament pillow and a green, Christmas-decorated throw.

It says there is a hanger and a door magnet with advent calendar. I’m guessing they are two different things.

Oh man, I really really wanted to get this based on the past year pictures but now that I see it it just doesn’t appeal to me. I think the green color is just too bright for me to want to use it at home in the living. Wish they had gone with something more muted. Plus I already have a christmassy fish extender.

I agree - the last few years it has been absolutely beautiful. This year is garish and I don't understand why it says SNOW in giant letters. I was really hoping for something more cruise line specific and a bit more classic in styling. I ordered it anyway since we will be sailing over Christmas, but it's a big let down.

Makes sense. I may just do it... We only live once. Worst case I do it in 2020 which will be our 30th Anniversary. We have that cruise booked too

I believe it says “there’s SNOW place like Disney cruise line. That’s what someone in my Facebook group said the cast members told them on the phone.

I purchased our Halloween blanket on July 23 and I think it had just recently become available. I purchased the Christmas one last year in September.

Ahhh you have Halloween! I ended up with 2 Christmas (2 staterooms) and am debating what to do with the second blanket since I don't really need it. Didn't want to tell half my kids they didn't get the decorations..

 

[Nina0126]

Just had the same conversation with Concierge Sevices — we’re on the Nov 2 Fantasy sailing, which is the “free” theme week between Halloween and Merrytime.

On the same sailing - thanks for unintentionally answering my question.

Luckily, the design this year is not my favorite so I don't feel as bad? Still, it's disappointing that the inbetween-ers don't get a holiday option, whether it be Halloween or Christmas.

When I ordered it this morning, it said it will be available to order only through 11/13.

 

[MouseinMelbourne]

Because your sail date is probably 11/16 or 11/17, right? You can only order up to 3 days in advance.

 

[Starwind]

When I ordered it this morning, it said it will be available to order only through 11/13.

Which should be a few days before your cruise.

Makes sense. Thanks!

I purchased my Christmas decorations this year. Last year they came with a blanket and a pillow alone. This year they are selling the decorations together with the pillow and the blanket with an advent calendar and a fish extender. I like it even better! I am trying to put the link below and see if you can see it.

Do they put them up for your arrival, or must you do that

yes everything is already set up when you enter your cabin on arrival day

Does the blanket design change each year? We are sailing a MT cruise November 2020.

Yes it changes year to year

 

[Bonnie1222]

I am sooooo torn on what to do. I need another blanket like I need a another hole in my head but I WANT IT so bad. LOL

Does anyone know how it tracks on the Disney Visa? I know when my agent puts in my OBC it tracks like a vacation for 6mo free financing. I don't need to finance it but I am just curious if it tracks like that or just a regular purchase.

I don't have a picture of it, but it is a great throw this year. Super warm. I slept on the couch one night wearing shorts in a cold stateroom. Totally kept me warm. The rest of the package was ok. The pillow is huge and takes up a lot of space, so if you travel by air, take that into consideration.
