WE have only a little over 6 months to go. We have made our reservations for staying at Disney before our cruise!! And, I think we will soon order our ticket for MVMCP, too.

Hi everyone, we are very excited to be on this cruise....our 2nd Disney cruise..

 

[yvettenurse]

Hi Grumpy, I will be on the cruise with my DH, DD (7), and DS (10). Have you heard about the FE? I was thinking about making one...This is our second DC.... I'm hoping others will join the meet soon...Its gettin close!!!!!!!:

Big Jack what is MVMCP? Any plans for hotels yet?

 

[big jack 2002]

This is Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party!! We are planning on staying at Port Orlean's French Quarter before and after the cruise! We have a great time there. I hire the bus from Happy Limo for our transportation to the ship from the hotel and then back to the hotel. We use the Magical Express back and forth from the airport to the hotel. We have about 24 people in our group!! Everyone is getting so excited. It is the first cruise for about 6 people in our group!! I am already working on magnets for everyone's door and our FE gift for the exchange.

Wow that sounds fun...I need to start working on my FE gifts too...Any Ideas?

 

[NickyKnack]

With the OP changing dates, are we still doing any of the meetings? Are we organizing an FE? I'd love to get involved but I'm a little confused.

 

[taswira]

I was the OP and yes, I did change dates, but the website I originally posted is still out there. Although the "Chip 'n' Dale" theme is surely out the window, the cruiser list is still there and you can sign up here. I manually add your info to the list after receiving the form submission.

I was never in charge of the FE. I think someone else here did volunteer for that but has also canceled. Whomever wants to organize the FE can at least look on the cruiser list to see who wants to participate, then go from there. Right now there are only 6 listings though (but some with multiple cabins), with only one opting to not participate in the FE.

Happy sailing, folks!

 

[yvettenurse]

Does anyone know if this is normal that not many cruisers are on this board...Is it too soon?

 

[M&M-Mommy]

HELLLLLOOOOO Fellow Cruiser!!

Okay..I know I am TOTALLY excited for our upcoming cruise. I think we need to get a new vibe going on!! SOOOO with that being said...Lets get this Party started.
I understand that the original OP changed plans so I am going to step in and help get us all going! I will try my best to get some things in order...

So lets start off with a new name for our cruise....

Any thoughts...suggestions??

How about...

"The Christmas Castaways 2011"

I will think some more names and post them as I go.

Also..please let me know if you want to help out in organizing meets or FE's or anything!!

Also..There has been alot of people that have cancelled throughout the postings..so lets do a roll call - so we can be sure we have an up to date list.

Hello all!!

Sorry to blow up our meet page!! But I am really getting excited about our upcoming trip... maybe because I have been planning my daughters Disneyland Birthday coming up next month but I wanted to give you some infromation about my plans so far....

We are set to fly into Orlando on December 1st...just to be on the safe side since it is December and you never know about the weather.
Our family is planning on visiting the Kennedy Space Center on December 2, 2011 for FREE!!!
You can too!! Did you know that your Congressman can get them for you???? They are on a first come..first serve basis...and usually start taking requests about 6 months out. So if you are interested..check out your Districts website and send in a request!
Maybe we can make that one of our first "meets"!!

Okay..TTFN! (Tah Tah For Now)

 

[big jack 2002]

We plan on coming early, too. We have reservations at Port Orleans.

Thank you for jumping in!

I changed the cruise website to remove the theme info, etc. The cruiser list is now on the home page. I had already removed those who posted notice of their cancellation. BTW - ThePhantomsGirl is no longer on this cruise either, as she changed dates along with me. Other than the "Join Us" graphic, the site is rather generic and the title is simply 3 December 2011 Magic. Just leaving it out there in case it may help you simply the cruiser list sign-up process.

Happy sailing!
