My countdown ticker links to the website that was setup to handle those. You can register for the FE there as well as record you room and such (if you wish).

Do any of you guys want to get a group together for the Dolphin Swim in Grand Cayman (independent of DCL). For a group the swim would be $45 per person. Kids 5 and under are free! I am thinking of doing this with my family, but I get a group there is a discounted rate. The price includes roundtrip transportation from the pier. Stingray City could also be included in the tour for an extra $19 per person. Let me know if you are interested, maybe we could get this added to the roll-call website in addition to the FE? What do you guys think?

Here is the website for more info.

obviously www but don't know if this forum allows hyperlinks.

We would like to join the group, but I can't send you a PM since I don't have enough posts. Let me know if you have room to include 2 adults and 1 5 year old.

Mike, Jan and Leilani...glad to have you joining us.

I'm Denise and traveling with my friend Sue. This is Disney Cruise # 4 for me...we are so looking forward to this cruise.

I am also taking a "head count" for the dismeet. We will be meeting around 2:45 on our first day in D Lounge (that is what we are aiming for) so if you would like to come for the meet, please do, its so fun meeting everyone after you have been chatting with them.

Looking forward to chatting with you...

Thanks for all the welcoming comments. we went on the Wonder 2 years ago at Christmas and it was wonderful. We are excited about a Christmas trip again, I have never done a fish exchange. I have a few ideas, when will the final list come out and is it a gift for the cabin or each person or a combo? I think my 5 year old would love the fun of gift giving and getting too. She is such a princess fan.

There aren't any hard and fast rules as to if its a cabin gift or per person. It's up to you!! It's lots of fun for the kids!!!

I'm Strphanie traveling with DH Dave. This is our 11th DCL cruise! We have sailed many times and just love it! Can't wait to chat with you and get to know you!!! It's not that far away!!!

Let us know when they get you all booked......yea so exciting


Sue was over saturday and we were discussing the cruise, we are both excited about it.....working on Limo ressies this week. Then we are complete with all plans....

We have decided not to book any excursions for Grand Cayman, think we are going to grab a cab and go to Hell and she wants to hit a certain shop while we are there and thats about it.....

But looking forward to the Salsa Salsa in Costa Maya

Have a good Monday all

I don't know yet, they take the info then when the window opens, they book it. I will get my itinerary on Saturday morning.

I requested 12/8 ----Palo Brunch (10 AM)
12/9-----Family Day at Tiki Beach, GC (11:45 AM)
12/10----Costa Maya Salsa & Salsa, CM (12:30 AM)
12/11----Mexican Cuisine Workshop, Coz (8:45AM)
12/11----Remy's (7:20 or 7:40 PM)

I asked about movies, they don't have December yet, and can't answer whether we will get Saving Mr. Banks or not, but the CM did say it was probably a good bet Planes will still be showing and definitely Frozen, as that premieres at Thanksgiving.

Denise, Sue and Frank....our cruises are hooked and I requested Royal Court for Formal night, which means at this time, our rotation would be ERAERRA.
Subject to change and subject to other considerations as always, it was just a request.

When you start making plans...it gets REAL!!!!

Sounds good to me....I know, we are getting sooooo close......


Here is something really bad....one of my friends I work with, they are going on a cruise leaving 8-31-13 (like 3 weeks) her husbands vacation was approved thru his immediate boss....but he found out this weekend he can not go, as the big boss will most likely fire him, as this is their busy time and he needs projects done. So my friend is so upset, she is trying to find someone who can go to fill his place, as they pretty much will lose the entire amount of the cruise. His employer has know about this for about a year....

I cant believe that his boss would do that to him.

Oh how horrible! There should be SOMETHING he can do! That is just wrong! Unfortunately, this is not the climate for testing that!
