**Fantasy Becomes Reality** Group--5/19/2012 (INDEX/ROLE CALL, PAGE 1--ENTRY 1)

Jaymepops- your blog is great! I only blog when we are going on a trip and use it to write our trip reports on. I used to write Trip Reports and post them on a different message board but what ended up happening is I stopped going to the message board and didn't have a personal record of our trips. So now I blog it on my own blog, and that way I have control over having access to it. I don't have the follow through to blog every week, month etc so I wouldn't be a good blogger for things other then trip reports so Kudos for you to be able to do it regularly.

If anyone wants to read our trip report for our cruise pre and post cruise for that matter you can follow along. I just started this cruise's report and posted the first installment today. My Blog
 
thank you joe for doing some investigating on sizes. since they are going to be ~ .50 each i may order a few extra size mediums jic, kwim?

we still haven't ordered, will do it soon tho like before 5pm ET so if you haven't posted sizes, do it now!! :0)

Lara

p.s. i figure we will probably hand these out at the meet, the only other option would be hand delivering them to staterooms which i may be able to do, but hate to promise it.

My personal vote would just be at the meet. If you're wearing yours, we'll find you and it should spread!

Thank you to the Donor who made getting these wristbands possible. Thank you to Joe and Lara for taking on the organizing of the sizing and ordering of them!

I think handing them out at the meet is a great idea. My mother and I will be there and if you see a woman in a motorized scooter and I looking lost try and wrangle us over to the meet.
 

My apologies for the confusion by stating---wear your bracelet to the meet! I've updated page 1, and look forward to seeing everyone at the Meet!

Thanks,
Tony
 
I love that this thread has become so active and is staying at the top of the page. We're about 2.5 weeks out. Amazing. Especially since my family and I have been planning this for about 2 years.

Looks good! :) As for the carry on, it just needs to fit through the metal detector which is the same as the airport. :thumbsup2 But, remember, you can have as many as you want!!! As long as you can tote them until your room is ready.
 
Thanks! :thumbsup2

btw cruise docs go without saying!!! :rotfl2:
just incase I just game someone heart failure! Sorry!!!
 
wristbands are ordered!! they are scheduled to be delivered friday, May 11th. hopefully that gives enough cushion that if they are late we will still have them before we leave thursday, may 17th. *whew* that was crazy! lol! thanks joe for the "assumptions" i totally used them. i did order 1-2 extra per size (and maybe 5 extra in med) jic. *fingerscrossed* that everyone is happy!!

i will bring my family of 10 to the meet, all sporting the lime green bands. you shouldn't be able to miss us! lol!!

That's great! Looking forward to meeting everyone!
Thanks again!


I think we are in for the meet.....but, um....the family pool is the Donald pool or the Mickey pool......:confused3

I was wondering the same thing ... :)
We'll just keep on the lookout for the gathering of green wristbands! :wave2:
 
Friends: rescue me... I am stuck on the fence. As per the link posted earlier on this thread you can download the whole .pdf of navigators. Keep in mind that there are some typos (most notably some summaries assume cruise was Fri-Fri.). I am dying to print off a few each day and have them in fun spots over the house for the kids... But then wondered I should not, so the real navigators are so fresh. Any words of wisdom? :confused3
 
I posted this in the main forum but in case those here are planning to park off terminal at the port keep this in mind:

Just saw a news report on our local ABC station that was done after a customer who used Premier Parking Spot in Cocoa came back and found that the company drove this families car around.

The News Story covered the investigative reporter and how they put a GPS in a rental Corvette had a couple drop the car off at Premier Parking Spot and when the GPS notified them within 6 hours after the couple left of the car being driven the news stations helicopter and other cameras caught the OWNER driving the car around town, allowing his dogs to play in the car, running errands, and putting 61 miles on the car. The owner after being confronted with the evidence still claims he did not drive the car, and did nothing wrong. I'd hate to think what else he is doing with vehicles left in his care.

If you plan on driving to the Port and have reserved parking off site please verify that you haven't booked this company which is located at:
Premier Parking Spot
3545 N Highway US1
Cocoa, Fl 32926

If you care to read and view the video from the news story please see: http://www.wftv.com/news/news/parkin...ers-car/nNM6q/

I'm glad I saw this so that I could verify we aren't booked there for our cruise.

I just thought I'd pass this along after seeing the news story.
 
Oh my I finally found the thread and you guys are right this thread is definitely a lot busier for Disney cruise :)

mmhmm no wonder the other one was quiet

Hi Jessy - So glad that you found "this" board - you may "know" me from the "other" board as well... I find it useful for non-DCL cruises.

Looking forward to meeting everyone! :dance3:

NO, I am NOT packed, having just returned from a week in San Francisco visiting DD27! and we are staying at the Doubletree in Cocoa Beach (did anyone hear that some fly-by-night hotel in Cocoa Beach will be turning their hotel into a nudist place :rolleyes1 - apparently CB does not have any laws against nude beaches - cannot remember which place - heard it on the news today!) Just a warning LOL

I am so excited that Chimpanzee will be shown on the cruise! I saw the last 2 earth day movies when they premiered on the ships on Earth Day and was hoping to see it on this one...Yes, we DO go to the movies on board as that is part of our vacationing (we don't have a local theater nearby, and usually see movies when we go to WDW too) Last cruise, DH & I actually watched Tangled in our room b/c we had not seen it yet!

Personally, I like to be surprised somewhat...so I am resisting "looking ahead" (which my kids always say when we watch parades...no looking ahead to see what is coming party: but I do see the advantage if trying to make plans...

Checked out your blog...so sorry to hear that you are Red Sox fans :rotfl2: although I am sure we can still be friends (BTW, did you see the Disney Parks blog today w/ the photo of Cap't Mickey pirate: posing at Yankee Stadium with Curtis Granderson to welcome DCL to NY ???? - combining 3 of my favorite things!!

I think for the good of the cruise we can get along LOL ;)

I hadn't seen it I haven't read their blog in a few days but I'm sure it was great. Even though I'm a Red Sox fan, I'd like to see Yankee Stadium at some point. Although I'd like to see every stadium at some point I'm more of a baseball fan in general but I will eat sleep and breath Red Sox as my team ;)
