Wow! I haven't been on for a while. Glad to see more action!
Happy New Year to everyone! So exciting to now be able to say we're going on a cruise THIS year (instead of next year)!!!!!

We're going to stay at the Polynesian the night before (doing photos, luau, etc. there), and Caribbean Beach 4 nights after.

Anyone up for getting into shape/weight loss challenge?

WOW you guys have been busy!!! for some reason I haven't gotten gotten the update for this thread.

Happy New Year everyone!!! I will have more time to check the thread now since the kids are going back to school tomorrow

thanks for posting the FE list, it already bigger than then cruise I did last Sept.

Have you guys been keeping up with the updates about the Dream
I can wait to see her.

DH wants to know if there is any Red Sox fans among you?

 

[Blanche_Neige]

Can someone explain the FE in more detail - do we buy gifts for everyone on the list, or are we assigned some people, etc. What do people get?

This will be our second cruise so by no means am I an expert on FE, but here is what we did on our first cruise. Since we only had 11 family that participated we gave FE treats to all the cabines. Some families gave one gift for the whole cabine, for the kids only. we got lots of stuff from cookie cutters, glow stick, candies, pirates stuff, coloring books, magnets, nice home made things too. We got sooo much stuff, the kids loved checking it every time we arrived at the room.

Here is a picture of our FE that was made for us from a lovely lady StitchesNBows on ETSY (google ETSY and enter her name or search for fish extender), she customs makes them for you colors, theme, names, everything.

Here is a picture that a fellow DISer gave to others on her cruise http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=34562302&postcount=205

Hope it helps

I need to do the weight loss challenge. Not sure whether I'll join WW or do something else, but I do need to shed a few pounds before we go!

I've been working as a seasonal CM at our local Disney Store, and the manager called me today and asked me to become a permanent CM. That means I'll be working 2 jobs for the forseeable future, but it'll help with park tickets, etc! It's hard to get into a weight loss program when you're busy with 2 jobs, kids, errands, kids' activities, etc., but I'm gonna try!

I hope that this board continues to get more active as the time gets closer--i can't wait to meet everyone!!

St. Louis Cardinals fans here (born/raised near STL), but baseball's a good topic for the guys to discuss anyway!!

My husband is not a big fan off baseball..he is a BIG NFL fan. His main team is the Dolphins but he is also a Titans fan. I am a big SEC sports fan. I love SEC football!!!! GO DAWGS!

cctimmom and I (as well as our husbands) are HUGE Red Sox Fans!!

 

[Blanche_Neige]

cctimmom and I (as well as our husbands) are HUGE Red Sox Fans!!

of course you are, I just noticed that you are from MA

My DH is already dreaming about watching the Red Sox playoffs on the jumbotron beside the pool RED SOX NATION !!!!!

I just have to make sure we are not seated with Yankees fan...

 

[cctimmom]

did somebody say RED SOX????????????

Has anyone realized that the playoffs will be on during our cruise?


Add me to the weight loss challenge(d) list (lol).

I lost 15 lbs. before the holidays commenced, and just started back up this week (along with the rest of the world). My first checkpoint will be the RCCL cruise I'm doing in 6+ weeks eek: not enough time to lose a lot!).

I'm doing a little bit of Jenny Craig, a little bit of my own vast experience with Weight Watchers, and a lot of going into SparkPeople and logging my food, and using my CardioTrainer Droid app to get on the exercise (treadmill) bandwagon. Hopefully, by October, I'll be svelt... lol

For my last Disney Cruise, I had created a private message board (where people I had to approve members, so not just anyone could see what we were saying)... if anyone is looking to get a little more personal about our trip (or dieting, or baseball, or excursions), I can delete all of the Magic stuff and we can start fresh.

 

[BettyBeBop]

We'll be staying at WDW both before and after the cruise. We have DVC, so hopefully we'll be at Beach Club. If not, then possibly Boardwalk.

We'll be at AKV (we have DVC too)!

Wendy and I will be at BCV for 3 nights before the cruise leaves. Can't waiT!!

I am up for a weight loss challenge!! Need all the motivation I can get!! LOL!

 

[luv2plan]

Add us to the list!
It is me, Dana (BIG 40 this year), DS Gray will be 11 and DS Max will be 8!

This is our third Dsiney cruise, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!

We are staying 2 nights at WDW before the cruise for MNSSHP and Epcot.

Soooooo looking forward to the cruise! And meeting everyone!!

 

[Blanche_Neige]

we will go either before or after for 1 night to attend the MNSSHP. Does anyone know when they announce the dates?

DH got very excited when he realized we would be there during the playoff, last September he said it was awesome watching the football on the on the big screen from the pool.

for those who are from MA if you need any ideas for FE stuff : Red Sox anything

 

[cctimmom]

I just looked at the roll call summary... emtmom and I are friends, but not in the same cabin... she's traveling with her husband... and I'm traveling with mine

 

[tigger2on]

They usually have dates out by May for MNSSHP
Hoping that there will be DVC rates for around the cruise. We'll save $60 if there are!

 

[Stephieann]

i am up for a weight loss challenge!! Need all the motivation i can get!! Lol!

me too!!

 

[cctimmom]

Do we want to do that here or should I open up the private message board that I had created for my last cruise (I actually already modified it so that it got rid of the old 2009 information, and a place to start putting Dream stuff).

Let me know if you want me to post the link...

Do DVC members get a discount on MNSSHP? I'd love to go, if so!

I am up to doing it either place, but my first thought is to keep this thread for getting to know one another and do the challenge on a board by itself. JMHO

Do DVC members get a discount on MNSSHP? I'd love to go, if so!

Yes. If you call MS and order your tickets through them, you get a little bit of a discount. I think it was about $5 last year.
