Barb, my parent's anniversary is just before our trip and this is their first
DCL cruise, so what I decided to do to celebrate was to buy a few things on Disney.com, since they often have sales. I got a few DCL items for them from there. We're going to have the gift for them and give it to them when we get to our rooms. I figure that way I could personalize it with stuff I know they will like and it should cost a little less then what we'd have had to pay through DCL and such for the gift bags.
So not surprisingly we weren't able to get a Cabana on CC, which I was hoping for as our cruise splurge. But as Silver CC members they were all gone when we registered online, except for Serenity Bay which doesn't do us much good with a 1 year old. Not sure what we'll do that day now, since I don't know if my parents will want to trek out to the beach. I figure if we go we will probably spend only the morning there and the rest of the day on the ship. I don't see them or my 1 year old holding up well in the sun. Especially since the baby, myself and my dad all can't handle lots of time in direct sunlight. Worse case we spend a lot of time on our balcony looking at the Island and just relaxing - that's what I had to do last cruise when I was pregnant and couldn't handle the heat.
I still have to look into the excursions in Nassau, we're hoping to do one of the Atlantis excursions. Or if not we'll spend even more time on the ship - hmmm yeah that would be torture
not!
I still have to arrange our travel, both ME for our pre-cruise WDW stay and to the cruise ship. Otherwise it's just packing and finishing fish extenders. I'm hoping to get started on those soon if I can ever find fabric. I wanted to use fabric I had but it's just not inspiring me. I went to
Walmart - the only place local for us that carries fabric and they had a couple of cute fabrics but I couldn't get enough to cover ideas for each of us. I want to go to Jo Ann Fabrics but it's a much further drive so I'll have to wait till later this week to get there. I just hope that my creativity is still going strong when I do.
We also booked Palo for the adults for dinner one night, and the nursery for A. But I really wanted the brunch instead, it just was sold out. I'm hoping that if we get on the ship early enough we can grab a spot since they usually keep a few open. Plus I picked Pirate night, because I knew we wouldn't miss the AP show that night and given the choice I'd rather miss the celebration since the little one may not even be awake that late. But I'll probably want a different night once I see our KTTW card and can make a more informed choice.
Oh Sue, the room number for my parents is
6606. I noticed it was missing on the most recent FE list you posted. When you get the chance can you confirm the current list of those participating? I want to make sure I have the right counts for my FE gifts.
Glad to see we're starting to fill up posts! Can't wait less then 2 months to go. We should do a Bon Voyage party on here on Sunday's and watch the ship pull out on the Port Canavaral Cams. It's a great way to get psyched up for the trip. I watched the videos on FB/
youtube of the Fantasy in NY and it got me so excited for our cruise. I would love to rebook on board for the Fantasy but don't know if I'll be able to convince my hubby or parents to do so.
. You wont be able to miss my DH and I, DH is 6'5" and I am 6'1", you can find me by the pool, lol.

We upgraded our stateroom yesterday to a verandah room. So we will no longer be in 7531.
