Ryan - did you get my email regarding Triton's?

I haven't checked it in a few days. Let me take a look...

* - Face it, all the halls look the same as it is. Add to it the fact it might be getting really late, you may have had a great night watching Toy Story The Musical, threw back a few too many drinks 'o the day.........

If you are seeking a good time at Toy Story the Musical I suggest more than a few.

 

[ryanmcin]

If all goes well at Toy Story The Musical, we'll have Jessica singing the songs by the end of the cruise. Or better yet, I'll record them on my phone and use them as her wake up every morning of the cruise

I think she would love that. With the wave phones she will be able to receive Toy Story the Musical calls everywhere which I know she is looking forward to. Not that I am encouraging such behavior.

I am getting the same count as Steve (25 total cabins), except I thought that 5646 & 5648 are part of the same group (22 total groups) with a single FE.

I put a spreadsheet together a few weeks ago, if anyone is interested you can download it at the link below. Probably would have been more helpful if I posted it a few weeks ago.......

FE List

This is a GREAT spread sheet! thanks!

I have 25 FE's which means i ended up with one extra because the TBA room of cdnsluvdisney has not given a room # yet.. so i guess i will skip them..

I want to get these FE's done and packed so i can focus on packing clothes.. hahaha!

Andrea in Vegas!

Hello everyone! I have been posting threads on cruise critic for a few months and thought " geez what a ghost town" not very much feedback with all my excitement. I can't believe I just now found this site! I'm elated to know how many if you are keeping in touch and posting threads! Yay!

Well I'm interested in joining the fish extender? Not sure how to go about joining, there's so many threads I couldn't read them all .


I'm not sure how many have already finished their FE stuss, but perhaps some have an extra one they are willing to share :0

Please post your cabin #, as i have just recounted and have 25 great FE's i am sharing and only 24 on my list! so i would be THRILLED to swap with you!

I think that will be your best idea.. just plan on anyone who has extra to share, perhaps not everyone is able because it is only a few days until we sail, but you never know!

Hope to see you on the cruise!

Andrea in Vegas!

If you're interested, several radio personalities are on the Wonder as she cruises up the West Coast to us. One is KyXy 96.5, available online, and they're having interviews with the DJs they have onboard. Here's their blog entry and video from the Wonder: http://kyxy.radio.com/?s=disney

Hello everyone! I have been posting threads on cruise critic for a few months and thought " geez what a ghost town" not very much feedback with all my excitement. I can't believe I just now found this site! I'm elated to know how many if you are keeping in touch and posting threads! Yay!

Well I'm interested in joining the fish extender? Not sure how to go about joining, there's so many threads I couldn't read them all .

I will be joining this cruise with my husband (30), my daughter (7), my son (11), and myself (30). A little bit about us:

We live in Central California and have cruised through Disney before ( Bahamas, 2006). I'm pretty familiar with most of the great things Disney has to offer ( also read the Disney cruise travel books and logged on to the website initiated by all you wonderful people). I must admit I feel guilty for walking away from my school for a week ( currently an interrim principal of an elementary school,so all you parents feeling guilty for pulling your children out of school, don't feel too guilty .

Please fill me in on what I've missed!! I read somewhere you will all be meeting the day of embarkation, is that still a go? Sorry if I have so many questions, we're just 4 days away and i'm trying to catch up on the fun. Looking forward to meeting you all!!!!

I have extra FE gifts! Please do join us at our meet on Embarkation Day from 2:30 - 3:30 in the Promenade Lounge.

FE List

I have 20 gifts, that would be a total of 21 cabins (counting Dave and I)
Sailing Sue has two cabins 2122 & 2124
Pammy1 has two cabins 6507 & 6511
Kristine & Geoff has two cabins 5648 & 5646
I took off cdnsluvdisney because we do not have a room number.
I'm all packed so unless someone does not have a FE up I will not have
any extra gifts We leave Friday morning and they are calling for more snow Thursday night into Friday morning so wish us luck.

[Disneyfamily80]

Thanks for the replies, I will purchasing items today and tomorrow for the FE, I'm only 2hrs away from the port so I still have time. I have placed a request on fb for the group as well. We will be in room #6581. So far we have excursions planned for each port ( pirate boat sail, salsa & salsa, cabo sports fishing and harbor scenic tour). Is anyone dressing for pirate night? On our last Disney cruise we had a blast on pirate night, this time we're bringing costumes! Gosh only 4 days left!!! How exciting!

 

[ymchavez]

HOLY CRAP GUYS!!! 4 days!!! Sergio and I can't wait to meet all of you. We've been waiting so long and it's almost finally here.

I made a total of 23 FEs, so if there are only 22 cabins, I definitely have an extra for Disneyfamily80. Welcome!!! Sergio and I are only wearing pirate mickey hats that we purchased at Disneyland.

Kris: I also made magnets! I even made a magnet of our logo for everyone on our FE list.

Ryan: Your spreadsheet is awesome and really helpful. Thanks!

Steve: Your map is super awesome! I will definitely be using it for the cruise.

We will be on the pirate boat in Puerta Vallarta!

You are brave for getting in on the FEs. I joined the group last week and thought it too late for me, but I hope you have fun doing it! Sounds like a blast!

As far as Pirate Night - my son has a costume and I will probably pick one up for my daughter. I don't think my husband and I will dress up this time.

 

[JulieBinCA]

Even though this is our 3rd cruise, we've never decorated our door and my DH has regretted it each time.

I know everything has to be magnetized and I was just wondering - do you use magnets you've bought or do you make your own (and how?) Do you use magnets to attach other things? I am not sure how to go about it, but I know my DH would like us to do something this time.

Any words of wisdom?

we "may" be on the pirate boat, it depends now on mazatlan and their issues (tourist caught in cross-fire, was killed this a.m.). IF we do not do the plans in mazatlan, then I can spend more money in PV and do the pirate boat. Will make decision after Sunday, I guess.

Has anyone with more math sense than me figured out why the two FE lists are different yet?

both..I bought magnetic paper and printed some off....bought a stack of magnets for business cards and use those on other cardstock that I printed off.

This is our 2nd and I was envious of those that did decorate their doors. This time I am making a stab at it. There are quite a few threads here dedicated to the magnets. There are some very creative people who will make designs (DISigns ) with it personalized for you or your family. I think it is too late for that, though. But if you look on the threads, you will see some that have links to their creations and some of them are not personalized! All they ask is that you don't use their designs for profit. I have used quite a few of them for my magnets. I hope I do them justice.
As far as making them there are a few threads with helpful tips. I just went to Michael's and bought a roll of magnetic tape. I printed out my stuff onto photo paper then laminated them. We will see if it all works. The one tip I read was try and put your name on them as sometimes there are people who will take them or kids that will move them to another door.
I also read that Disney only wants you to use magnets. I guess their doors were starting to look pretty ratty.
Check out here: What does your door look like? on post #1518 for an example. I didn't make all of mine full sheets like they did but you get the idea.
Here is the Magnet thread:Cruise Magnets
Hope that at least helps!

Disneyfamily80 - I have a few extras too & I have added you to my FE map!

Later,
Sue

BTW-We will be spending all day Saturday @ Disneyland! Now trying to decide where to have dinner that night.

and we "may" be at disneyland on Saturday. Don't want to leave the rest in the lurch but I have annual pass (they don't) and sooooooo don't know yet.

Steve took another (fancier) approach , but I simply printed the graphics I wanted on photo paper, laminated them, and then will apply magnetic tape to the back when I get onboard. I would risk purchased magnets on the exterior of the door for fear that they would be stolen. Others have suggested that they be personalized to deter this too, but mine are pretty generic and may end up being taken

This is the first time in a dozen cruises, 2nd with Disney, that I've done it.

OK, I'm not sure if it will work but I have made a magnetic door sign that I want to keep as a souvenir. I will have it on my door & it will be the only one not laminated and it has the logo that Ryan and Jessica created that is in my signature. I will leave markers inside of our FE for you to use. If all of you could sign it sometime during the trip I would LOVE it! If just one of your party wants to sign it that's OK but I wouldn't mind if all of you signed it, kids included.
Thanks,
Sue cabin# 6078

Great idea and souvenir.

I went to home depot and simply bought a door and a roll of duct tape. That way, I can decorate it any way I wanna. It was hard to stuff in my carry on, but as I long as I make the wife carry it, I should be fine.

Other suggestion: magnetic clothing. I can decorate the door myself with myself.

I think a fun way to decorate the door would be to exactly mimic the door across the hall, only in reverse.

I got magnet paper and made printouts that look like deadbolt locks, just to freak out the maid service.

I can keep this up all day you know!
