Dec. 7, 2008 4 nite Mousefest Cruise - who's all going?

[mkmommy]

Good Morning!

No documents for us yet. Like I said before, I doubt our AAA agent will even call so we'll probably have to stop by and ask for them. At least we have our online registration done so we really only need our luggage tags.

I have not started to pack yet either. I finally got around to having the boys try on clothes and make sure they fit, so I at least know what will be going in the suitcases. We probably won't pack until the day before we leave. We keep an overnight back stocked all the time so besides our clothes and overnight bag, the only thing we need to pack is our FE stuff and our camera/video camera/lap top bag.

Does anyone know for sure the shows for each day. When we were on the double dip in August, they had the Golden Mickeys, then pirate night, then Toy Story then Disney Dreams. I just recently saw that they are doing pirate night on our cruise on CC day, which is different than the other 4 days we have been on. I asked my friend that's a TA and she could only find old navigators with pirate night on Nassau day. I called DCL and the woman said she only knows the movies not the shows. I'd like to find out so I can figure out a better time for our Palo reservations. I don't want our friends (1st time DCL cruisers) to miss out on the pirate festivities in the dining room.

THere is a trip report from someone just back and they said the pirate night was Castaway Cay night.http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2012593

OK... so Georgia will be dressed to impressed.. especially with the princess dresses we are bring. However, I'm trying to figure out what i need to bring. Do we need to "dress-up" for dinner. And exactly how dressed is dressed up?

Can you tell i'm finally getting around to packing. hehe

also, i'm debating on if i should bring my laptop. i know what the service is like when we are in WDW. But is there internet on the cruise? is it just in a particular room, or can you get it in your cabin.

Our Travel Agent in Canada got ours, Fedexed them and now we are waiting.. it said that they are in city, and on the truck. It did at one time say 10:30 - but its 11 and no tickets. The tracker also no longer has a time on it..

I cant wait!

I'm not doing the tour, but I will, in all probability, be sitting out on deck, drink in hand, relaxing.
I do have a pile of 'stuff' though...FE things, plastic bags of tee shirts and shorts that are going to stay in my Owners Locker, summer type clothes for the cruise...just have to get it all packed, but won't worry about that until the 5th..otherwise, I start worrying about whether or not I've packed something.

Georgia will have so much fun with all the Princesses, that is great you are bringing the dresses.

When we went on the 7 day, the girls just wore sun dresses and they were not under dressed, anything goes we sat with a family that wore jeans every night.

Our cruise docs arrived today!
Can't wait to leave this AZ heat for cooler Florida! (88F here right now)

 

[Donald_Quackers]

Also have a pass for 2:40pm to tour the Roy Disney suite! Yahoo!

Looks like we'll be the official last ones for getting our cruise docs!

I attempted my first ever shirt transfers today. Well, despite putting the decals on the wrong side and too high they turned out ok. I think those ones will be added to the boy pajama collection and I'll try again. I also burned my arm good. All the more reason I love Downy wrinkle release! If all goes well with the next batch, you will see us in our matching navy blue shirts with DCL name tags designed by Tom.

This is my and my DH's very very first cruise! I'm scouring the dis board for all kinds of good info.

Haven't received my cruise docs yet, so Hanover, you aren't the last

Can someone tell me about the tour of the Roy Disney suite? This posting is the first I heard about it...

Hi and welcome!

I'm glad to know there's other hold outs for documents!

The Roy Disney suit tour was being offered from Deb at Allearsnet.com as one of the Mousefest activities. Someone please correct me if my facts are wrong. I found the tour on this after reading about someone else on here booking it: http://www.mousefest.org/meets2008_start.php

I'm pretty sure they stopped the bookings on 11/15, but you could always ask if they have a wait list or an extra spot.

I retract what I typed here...Mousefest page said signup is closed. My Bad!

Funny how you'll be leaving from there and I 'll be coming there Dec 1-4 right before the cruise. I can't wait to feel some warmer whether. But it's not really cold here yet either (atleast to me)

 

[Hanover]

We have a high of 39 today! We had some snow flurries yesterday but no big snow fall so far. I sure hope it doesn't decide to come on December 5th!

I'm going to call AAA today to see if she has our cruise documents.

Did anyone manage to snag a free upgrade?

Has anyone that registered for Mousefest received their lanyards, etc. I vaguely remember the information saying they'd mail it out a couple of weeks beforehand.

I did another set of t-shirts for pirate night and they came out pretty cute. I didn't burn myself this time either! I'll have to see if I can take a picture and I'll post them later.

 

[mkmommy]

The forecast for here is 5 inches of snow and cold.

I want warm sunshine. sooooon....

I had an email from Dave on Monday offering to send my landyards and stuff to our hotel because mail can be slow to Canada, but I have a US post office box so it is being mailed there. So If they aren't sent out now they will be very soon I think.

Still no cruise documents for us either.

It is cold today -6 Celsius I think that is around 22 Fahrenheit no snow thank goodness the sun is out today. We will be ready for some warm weather by the time we get on the cruise.

Thanks!

There is a thread that someone got the Hyatt for $72 plus fees for the Dec 5 on hotwire so if someone is hoping for the Hyatt it looks like it is available for Dec 6 also. From what I have read you need to look for the trip advisor rating of 4.5 out of 5 with over 100 reviews for the MCO airport hotels.

I finished our homemade t-shirts! I did navy blue shirts for embarkation day with a DCL I.D. tag of our names (Thanks to Tom's designs on the creative Disign thread) and a "let the magic begin" design on the back (from a picture of a menu). I did burgundy ones for pirate night with a small graphic of Mickey and Minnie with our last name, Romanoff's in the Caribbean. The back has a larger image of some characters in pirate garb. The image on the left is the front of the shirts and the right is the back:
