Disney Magic 08-13-16 Mediterranean cruise

[Stubbette]

Trying to PM you but having trouble figuring it out. We would like to be part of the FE group. I just learned about it today and I am a little behind but do not want to get left out of the fun.

It puzzled me too! In the end I clicked on Shelly's photo and a box popped up, where I clicked on 'start a conversation' and it looked like a normal message board. I left a message like that and it worked just fine Good luck and see you on the cruise!

We just got our cruise documents and luggage tags today. So excited! It is almost time!

 

[Stubbette]

Oooh, I don't think us Brits get luggage tags, you lucky thing! I'm guessing not, as we don't get things like Magic Bands shipped out to us for Disney World...

The kids are currently making their own magnets using printable magnetic sheets for our door, and as we can't get Fish Extenders over here, I've found some pockets on Ebay and they're making fabric iron-on labels to attach to them. Great for keeping them busy!!!

We do! The cruise documents and luggage tags get delivered by UPS.

Oooh, fantastic, how exciting!!! Are you flying to Barcelona? We're going a couple of days early to see some sights first!

 

[Ware Bears]

Yes, we're flying out on Wednesday - can't wait!

That's great! We did not receive my mom's and I think it is being delivered to Taiwan, so hopefully she gets hers in time. I called DCL and they did tell me that we can always have the tags reprinted at the port, so no biggies if the tags do not arrive in time. And I think there are enough tags as of now to cover all the pieces.

 

[Ware Bears]

You're right, it really doesn't matter if you don't have them, I forgot mine our first time

 

[Huville2828]

We are considering not doing the DCL port excursions and hiring our own tour guide at ports. Anyone fsmiliar with reputable tours in our stops. Thank you

I am looking into viator.com following the recommendations from Mouse Savers: http://www.mousesavers.com/disney-c...scounts-on-port-excursions/#bookingexcursions for tour options outside Disney. I have had good experience using Viator a few times for other land trips in the past but this will be the first time we try using it for shore excursions. Select "Shore Excusions" as your tour type to limit the tour packages to the ones that do pick up and drop off at the ports. I am also only looking at the tours that offer the "worry-free" policy. Good luck!

Just saw this blog and found a sneak peak on how you could spend away on board :

We have been collecting the limited edition design magnets. If you like the design, keep an eye out for the special sale information as the amount may be limited.

We are getting more and more excited!

 

[Ware Bears]

Love the logos!

Hey everyone...
I am SO late to the game. Finally figured out these DIS boards in attempt to sign up for Fish Extenders. But, based on initial browsing, it looks like I'm too late for Fish Extenders. If that's not the case and our family can still join in, can you please tell me what I'm supposed to do? If we're too late, I understand. We've done it once before, but I didn't sign us up- it was all done for me. I'm now realizing that I should have done this months ago! Yikes!
Also, is there a FB group?
Thanks so much for any help!

Ok...no need to respond...
Our trip begins the 6th and we are not home until the 28th. Our family voted that FE would be too much for us this time- even if we were still allowed to participate. Thanks!

Same here! From Manchester, for a couple of days exploring!!! 2 weeks tomorrow.... eeep!!!

When we visited the Disney Magic (portside, unfortunately) when she was in dock and Liverpool recently, my phone automatically connected to the WiFi and downloaded all the activities, Port Adventures and menus! It would have been far too much to screenshot, but here's a little taster of Lumiere's and Palo as you do your packing....

Thank you, that just turned up my excitement another notch.

 

[Stubbette]

No problem! I was drooling from the dockside!!! I know the menus change and there's 'feature' menus for the special nights too...

On my online planner thing, it says Formal Night is the 2nd night, and Pirate Night is the 6th night which are meant to be different menus... Actually, do we know when Frozen night is yet? My poor 'grown out of Frozen' daughter is going to have kittens!!! ;-)

 

[Ware Bears]

I'm drooling too! Everything sounds so much more exciting than my cottage pie!

Apparently Frozen night is Sunday, the 2nd night. I did wonder if it would still be formal attire but when I queried it (and I know others have too) the answer was just no, it's not formal night, it's Frozen night. So we're still going to dress up because we don't get a lot of chance at home. I reckon we'll get a mix of people in smart clothes (because a lot of people will still expect it to be formal) and others in casual.

 

[Stubbette]

I've had an e-mail saying there is definitely a Formal Night - and also trying to sell you their formal attire hire service. And also a direct reply from the HQ saying it's Formal on night 2... I've e-mailed them back and let's see what they say! I've got a pirate costume lined up but no way am I donning Elsa gear!!!!! ;-)

PS Where are you flying from, Ware Bears? We're Manchester... funny if we were on the same flight as well!!!
