Hi everyone!
We'd like to join your members list and F/E group. Our info is:
gyt 12 cabin - NC DCL fans- Nancy and John, DD16 Jenn; DSRyan 13.
Thanks!

Hope your son is better very soon Charleyann.

Glad to have another group from the Carolinas along for the cruise. We are the unofficial keepers of the F/E and member’s lists. Actually, you’ve given us a good reason to repost the master list on the thread with your group added in. We try to post an updated list every week or so, but it’s been slow lately. Just let us know when DCL assigns you a cabin number for your GTY. You can either check you reservation on the DCL site about 30ish days before we sail or it will be printed on you luggage tags which should arrive at about the same time (every once in a while DCL will assign cabins at about 45 days, but 30 is more common). Also, there will be a DIS Meet at 3:00 on the day we sail in the Promenade Lounge on deck-3 between Triton’s and Parrot Cay (just before the lifeboat drill). We’ll be there handing out ship’s maps showing all the cabins that are participating in the F/E.

As you’re making your way around the DIS boards you’ll run across a lot of good info and some of the best stuff can be found in the FAQ located on the thread link below

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2068966

Again, were glad to have you along and we can hardly wait for the holidays to get here ourselves.

Below is the most current version of the members list. We are also keeping a more detailed MS-Excel version of the info, which can be emailed to anyone that would like a copy (just send us a PM with the address). We are also putting together a map of the Wonder that marks all the cabins that are participating. We’ll post that after the final list has been established and we’ll also bring copies with us and pass them out at the DIS-Meet to anyone that wants a copy.

If any one else would like to join in or be moved to the F/E just give us a shout.

Hi everyone!

Howdy,
It’s us again. We were going to send you a PM (private message) for this but I don’t think you have enough posts on the boards yet to be offered that option, so, we’ll post this here instead.

Don’t know if you’re planning on making magnets for you door, but we (that is Rob) loves to tinker around with graphic images. So he put together a DIS Member Name themed “DCL - Swoosh“ for everyone in our group. It’s yours to keep, delete, print or whatever.

Feel free to rummage around in our PhotoBucket and let us know if there are any other images or designs you’d like to see. We have a lot more images and ideas and we’d be happy to give you copies or personalize something for you. If you don’t see anything you like, let us know what your looking for and maybe we can put it together or help you find something similar.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 20th.

Day four and out of the hospital with Jacob. He is starting to feel much better. He was tested for H1N1 but it will be 5 days before the results come back. I said to the doctor if this is Swine, then we won't have to worry about catching it while on vacation and need not worry about the shot....

I hope there is a silver linng....

Thanks for all your support

Charleyann and Jacob

 

[CoriCW]

I hope Jacob continues to recover quickly!!

Does anyone know how cold it will be for this cruise? Keep in mind we live in Colorado - so although it can get cold (40-50s in December), it is really dry. I am starting a packing list, and just don't know about what type of clothes to pack. Is it warm enough for shorts at that time of year, or would that just be ridiculous?

We will also spend some time in Orlando before and after the cruise, so any info on what type of clothes to pack for that would be much appreciated!

TIA!

Hi there!

I live in the East Coast of Canada -40 with wind chill factor in the winter (Brrrrrr) We go each December to Orlando and this is what I found. Short and t-shirts during the day and light jacket, hoodie/ sweatshirt for the evening. I usually take two pair of long pants and a couple of hoodies/seatshirts and the rest of capris, shorts and t-shirt and a bathsuit. Yes it is warm enough to swim in December!!!! I also take a light jacket. Leave my winter coat in the car.....

The day time temperature for Dec. are usually in the 70's and low 80's . They do have cold fronts that move in and it can get cold 48-50.'s, but that usually only last a couple of days. Anymore questions feel free to ask...

Thank you for the speedy recovery wishes for Jacob.

Thanks

Charleyann

 

[jenpink]

Hope your son continues to feel better Charleyann. We are down with the flu right now but luckily we have a light case of it.

We also have CP reservations on Dec 18 but at Chefs de France. Seems like everyone is going to see Whoopi. We've also got tickets to La Nouba on Dec 16 and "Mickey's very Merry Xmas Party" on Dec 13.

On the boat we have booked Parasailing on CC for my nephew and me and bikes on CC for my daughter and me. I booked Andastra Gardens on Nassau but I may cancel those and stay on the boat. We did Atlantis last time, and don't really want to do that again. Anyone else book any excursions yet? It is all getting closer and closer

Hiya!

So glad to hear Jacob is better.

Hope you all feel better soon.

We are going to make our own way over to Atlantis in the morning but try to get back on the boat for lunch. On Castaway Cay I think we are going to rent the bikes/snorkels/floats. I think our window for booking opens next week ~ I can feel my excitement levels rising as I type!

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Howdy to All.
We got some bad news down this way and the bottom line is that we aren't going to be able to sail along with the group this time around. We could go into the details, but they don't really matter and it wouldn't change the situation, so we're not going to waste your time with a pity-party.

The first order of business now is to figure out the status of the F/E & Members lists. Truth is, we actually wouldn't mind looking after these for the rest of the group, but obviously we won't be on board to hand out final lists and maps on Dec, 20th. There are a couple of obvious ways around this and either will be fine by us.

1) We keep looking after the list and post final spreadsheets and maps on the thread at the end of November via Photobucket (in just the same way we go about posting magnet images & other graphics) and y'all can just copy and print them off from there. Or...

2) Someone else can take over the care and feeding of this little beast. If anyone really wants the job, just send us a PM with your home e-mail address and we'll send you the documents and such that we have put together so far.

Like I said, if you folks don't mind printing off your own copies of the final product, we certainly don't mind looking after the process (it will keep us connected to the idea and joy of cruising even though we won't actually get to see the water this time). We wish we were still along for the ride, but it will still be a fabulous Holiday of Wonder for all aboard (DCL will make sure of that).

Let us know which way you want to go and we'll talk to you again soon.

 

[Ware Bears]

Oh no Tamara, Rob, Max, what a shame. I am so so sorry you've had to cancel.

It's so kind of you to offer to carry on looking after our FE list we can each print off our copies and it would mean still being able to chat with you. I hope you'll still feel part of this cruise, even though you won't be able to sail with us.

I was so looking forward to meeting you perhaps another time.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Thanks. Obviously, we’re pretty disappointed, but it can’t be helped.
We’ll be happy to look after the F/E because it will keep us in the loop. But, we will need a definite favor form all of the folks who are waiting on their GTY cabin assignments. DCL should start assigning staterooms for this cruise somewhere between November 15 & 25 (most likely around the 21st, but I have seen them show up a little earlier). As there are a number of folks who are leaving on their adventure in early December (especially those lucky soles who aren’t hindered by working for American Employers, but I digress), we need to know your cabin numbers as soon as you can possibly post them so there will be time to update and post the ship’s maps and build final members lists that can be printed before everyone starts traveling.

We would also recommend that you still plan on having the DIS Meet on the first day to get to know each other. If you do, then someone who is leaving latter in the month and has time and resources, could possible print off extra copies with any late updates and bring them to the meet. We will keep maintaining the lists and maps up until cruise time just in case.

 

[NC DCL fans]

I'm so sorry that you had to cancel your trip, Tamara, Rob and Max! But thanks so much for the swoosh door sign. And we appreciate all you've done on the member list!

Lets all keep hoping for warm weather at castaway cay! They just have to have those slides ready by December 22nd, don't they?

Thanks everyone for the welcome! We can't wait to meet all of you!

 

[kkmcan]

We will be on board! We'd like to join the fish extender group.

GTy cabin: Kelly and Kyle, DD12 Molly and DS9 Bennett

Can't wait to cruise with the mouse again!

Hi kkmcan welcome aboard!

Welcome Aboard!!

We are the unofficial keepers of the F/E and member’s lists. We’ll go ahead and add you the F/E list and republish the whole thing in the next post. Once DCL assigns your staterooms in November (probably a few days either side of the 21st) just post it back here. As you may have read, we were originally planning to travel with everyone in December as well, but had to cancel, so you will need to print off a copy of the final list once all the GTY cabins have been posted (because we won’t be there to hand tem out). We are also maintaining a more detailed Excel version of the data and can email that to you (or anyone else in the group) if you just PM us an email address. Hope you have a great time on your holidays.

I do have some new though. We won't be able to paticipate in FE. The other family travelling with us Doesn't have the time to get this together.

With Jacob's recent illness and our upcoming trip to Children's Hosptial in another province, she is right. I don't either. He are leaving in mid -movember for that and I really need to concetrate on Jacob getting well. He has pneumonia now ,secondary to the H1N1. If he doesn't get better then this trip is off!

We are so sorry to incovience anyone....

Charleyann

We would still like ot meet everyone!

 

[Ware Bears]

No problem, Charleyann.

I hope Jacob recovers quickly here's some for him.
