Hi all! My husband and I are traveling with our 5yr old daughter and our 1.5yr old son. We are doing this 3day cruise followed by the 4/28 4day Bahamas. We can't wait. Our cruise in October was canceled because of the Magic renovations, so now we decided to take our free cruise and add this 3day. This is our second cruise, we traveled on the Wonder last April and loved every minute.

***We are looking for another family/couple to share a cabana with. I have a family cabana booked for the Castaway Cay day but we really need to share it to be able to afford the high price(550$). PM me if your interested. I think the max is 6, and then 50$ per person after that-someone correct me if I'm wrong.

We got another round of snow in Chicago today, seems like winter is never going to end. The only thing that made it better was selecting activities at Castaway Cay!!!

Hey all of you experienced Disney cruisers, we booked bikes, snorkel gear and inner tubes. Be it that this is our first experience there, is that too little, too much or just right? My boys are 10, 8, and 4.

Thanks for the info in advance!

bpreed99 did you get my pm about FE?

 

[MsPakman]

I tried sending my party/cabin info over last night, but I got a message saying I need to post 10 times before I can send a PM.

Sounds like the perfect thing to do on a snowy day!! We live in Maine and are getting hit AGAIN! I think your activities will be fine. We rented bikes for the first time on our last (fourth) cruise and wished we had done it before! We plan on doing it again, it's fun. It took us about 1 1/2 hours to get around the island but my boys are older. We stopped at a few lookout areas and at the observatory which has a great view! We are driving and are bringing our own snorkel gear which is nice to have. If you snorkel in the designated snorkel area you can't bring your inner tube. But we rented a tube and used our gear off the family beach. The snorkel area is really cool though, they have sunken Minnie and Mickey but they are pretty far out. You will get plenty of use out of all those activities, and you have lots of fun!

I got the same message

Thank you for the reply, that is very useful info. My mom, sister and I had a girls weekend in Bar Harbor, Maine a few years ago. It was such a beautiful part of the country, and very safe. The B&B we stayed at didn't lock their door at night. Very different than Chicagoland. ;-)

I'm off to attempt making fish extenders. I figure if they turn out bad, I'll still have time to order from one of the Pinterest ladies.

Hi all! It took me forever to find this, but thankfully, I have! This will be first cruise for DD and me! We would like to do the FE as well.

Hi everyone!!! I'll be on the cruise with my boyfriend, we'll also be cruising with my dad, stepmom (pbreed99), little brother, little sister as well as my big sister (jbrankin38), her husband and my two nieces! Since we're two 30-somethings in a cabin we won't be participating in the FEs, but we're excited to cruise and will definitely be looking forward to seeing what the kiddos receive!!!

Hope you all are enjoying the cold so you can REALLY enjoy the warmth in the Bahamas!!

No I'm sorry I didn't (not sure what pm is )

 

[dmreed32]

If anyone needs 10 posts just post a few things here. Right now I only have two private messages signing up for the FE. Usually I am on my phone when I come on here so it would be a lot easier for me to have the info in my messages than the thread if you all are able to do that. I feel like time is moving quickly! Do much to do before we cruise, can't wait!

Being that this is our first cruise, I just learned about all these incredible graphic designers or DISigners who make these insanely awesome customized graphics for their fellow cruisers. FOR FREE! So what I did to get my ten posts was first view a number of the DISigners pages, and commented on how beautiful their designs are. I also wrote one of them asking for them to make some customized mickey ear graphics for our family with our names on them. The images were done in less than two days, (again these people are amazing) and I printed them on magnetic paper. The cabin doors on the cruise are metal, so we'll have super cute customized designs decorating our door! Cool, huh?

On my next off days I'm going to work on getting some done too. Can't wait! I will also update the first post with the people in the exchange's info. Time's running out to enter.
