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

[gailg3horses]

I see some of you are already aware but heres the email I got from DCL about BBB and pirates league. I got what I wanted too.

Dear Gail,

Your sailing is right around the corner and we wanted to take a moment to share some exciting news with you.

We are pleased to announce that Guests who are within their onboard services booking window may pre-reserve appointments for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and The Pirates League in the My Cruise Activities section of our website www.disneycruise.com.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is a world of fantasy where young Guests ages 3-12 are magically transformed into little princesses, knights or pirates. This popular landside retailer specializes in makeovers and is pleased to be making its debut onboard the Disney FantasyTM.

A variety of packages are offered at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, including several that are exclusive to Disney Cruise Line®. They include: the Disney Fantasy Package, the Under the Sea Package, Princess Minnie and First Mate Minnie Castle Packages, and The Royal Sea Package.

Young princesses can “look the part” for dinner at Royal Court, an elegant restaurant inspired by the classic Disney films “Cinderella,” “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Sleeping Beauty.” Also, on the day of the hugely popular deck party “Mickey’s Pirates IN the Caribbean,” Guests ages 3 and up can let their inner pirate out to play via The Pirates League treatment.

We truly are looking forward to sailing with you soon and hope you’ll take a moment to view and pre-reserve one of these magical transformations for the members of your sailing party.

Sincerely,

The Cast and Crew
Disney Cruise Line®


Still debating a little bit about the packages (2 boys who want to be pirates) but I booked it.

If someone orders bracelets we would like some. We need 3 adults, 2 of us have small wrists so if there is a med option that would be best. Also, I would like two childrens to bring home to my grandsons. They think they have to have whatever I bring home.

Would we hand these out at the meet?

 

[nonni]

Are there any guides for the FE? I know gift wise it's up to each person. What about time, is there a time frame for distribution? Do we put our name on them or is it anonymous? This is our first FE so I'm trying to get all figured out.

Almost finished with our gifts. We are doing something for everyone too.

Can't wait to get on board and meet everyone!

 

[Mum from oz]

And BBB is sold out of pirate packages on pirate night. Luckily I got in for formal night for my little prince and princess.

 

[carouselkr]

The meet: I don't think we've decided. The AllEars group won't be having a formal meeting on embarkation day as far as I can tell, so we could do our meeting time that day. I learned that our mandatory muster drill would be at 3:45 PM, so we'd have to be done by then.

From AllEars this week (all plans are "tentative")
SATURDAY, MAY 19

* Board the ship and enjoy lunch on your own.
* All Ears Fantasy Check-in on board - time and location TBA
* 3:45pm Mandatory Muster/Safety Drill
* 4:15pm Sail Away Party - meet Starboard on Deck 12 - time for your AllEars Fantasy Cruise Wear

Not sure what "check-in" means but I think it is just a stop & let "them" know you are there....so 3PM for the Dis'ers sounds OK by me.

And if ordering bracelets, we are 2 adults. (also, since I drive to the port area, if whomever is doing the order wants to send the bracelets to me, PM me and save yourself some suitcase room!

 

[JRandAJsMom]

No more pirate packages left Oh well. Still crossing my fingers (tight!) for Palo Brunch! On the brighter side of things, I DID manage to fax in our wine package order today. I was going to call it in, but there was a "greater than 15 minute" wait. In Dis-Language, I'm guessing that means more like a half hour or more. Since I was in DH's office, I decided to fax instead. Does anyone know if they will confirm my order so I know it got there? I hope so b/c I don't want to show up and not have wine! LOVE ending the day over dinner and wine on the cruises-- someone else cooking and I don't have to drive home? Oh yeah!

The 3:00 meet sounds great to us! I can't wait to see everyone! I'll tell you now that I am absolutely *horrible* with names and faces, so names and screen names really get me I'll try to study before we get there I'm going to cheat and print out the lovely name tags from a few pages back if I can find them again!

 

[DizDaddy]

I've been mia so lots to catch up on...

yes Tyber is a boy sorry it took me a while to answer my pm on that, lol!

We also have a competitive gymnast, all us southerners, lol! We head to al on sat for aau districts.

Third, dh looked into bracelets tonight. The company he found has three sizes and we can do just "fantasy becomes reality" or we can do that with a Mickey head. W/o the Mickey head the bracelets are approx 35 cents each (that's ordering 200) with the Mickey head they are approx 45 cents each. The site is reminderband.com we have 10 people in our group and we are in as well. With them being silicone we could just leave them on all the time.

We will be dressing up, the kids in tux or suits (depending on if tuxs still fit from last year) and formal dresses but dads in suits.

I will be running cc 5k and I'm super excited for the bib and "medal"! This will be my third race, I've done a 5k and an 8k.

What Else...? I am speaking at a luncheon on we'd to 80+ women so I haven't started fe stuff. Once that's over I will jump in with both feet. I am an event to event person, I have to focus on what is breathing down my neck "right now" before anything else, lol!

Screename is actually dh's it's the phonetic spelling of our last name. I go by msbookite everywhere but here and dh is Bookite, I kinda stole this board from him, lol!

Lara

I was 24 pages behind when I started reading last night so when I saw bracelet references, I remembered that I really wanted to have some so I had dh look into them whilst I kept reading. By the time I got to sue's post he had similar info, so I just shared it. We are happy to do anything the group wants...so long as it gets us a bracelet on our wrist, lol! So, let's make it happen, sue if u need help organizing, let me know! ( jmho but I would rather buy and put these in the FE's than sell them to non disers. Not b/c we have the corner on cool, but I was thinking it an identifier, know what i mean? Just a thought, again, ok with whatever.)

Lara

P.s. I'm a "domestic engineer/professional volunteer

LARA, Please if you guys can get the braclets I would love it! Things have been crazy here and I just cant seem to get it together. I have a social security hearing and dr appt coming up to and including the day we leave. I was getting worried that it would not arrive in time for us to leave. If not Im not too sure this will happen.

I am so sorry! I posted again under Tony! It is me that has the ss meeting and dr appts. We do come as a packaged deal but I think I am the one who is better off. I have not been working since Dec of 2009. This is all related to my Rhumatoid arthritis, so no work = no paycheck. Money is tight and we thought about backing out of the cruise, but he made it work. The goal is to get back to work soon or at least try, so after the cruise I will be looking for some type of job.
I really didnt intend on taking on the braclets, I just was posting a site. So if anyone still has time...... I m having a bad day guys it got cold here again and I just cant move when that happens. I will be out of this blue funk by the cruise I promise.

 

[dlf246]

since there doesn't seem to be a farewell show yet and the last night's show is Believe.

Donaldsgal: Are you sure? It seems like the Fantasy TRs are talking about a new fairwell show with mediocre reviews...

carouselkr, that's what I meant. Sorry if it seemed I was being misleading. I think the check-in is also a stop-in-and-get-your-group-credentials event, so that's why I suggested that time.

Donaldsgal: Are you sure? It seems like the Fantasy TRs are talking about a new fairwell show with mediocre reviews...

I'm sorry; I'm not remembering everyone's names. Can we go back to signing our posts with our names? That'll help me keep everyone straight!

To answer your question, I don't know that for certain. Believe me, I've done a TON of obsessing about this, and what I've heard is that the opening show is meh, and the farewell show hasn't been opened yet. On the April 7 Navigators, I saw that Believe is the last night show. Is that the farewell show? And can you link me to the TRs that talk about the last night's show? That info would be super helpful to me as that will cut down on my obsessive-checking-for-different-Remy-reservations activity each day.

Thanks!
Jenny

Are there any guides for the FE? I know gift wise it's up to each person. What about time, is there a time frame for distribution? Do we put our name on them or is it anonymous? This is our first FE so I'm trying to get all figured out.

Almost finished with our gifts. We are doing something for everyone too.

Can't wait to get on board and meet everyone!

Nonni:

Put your name on, or go anonymous - it's up to you. From past cruises, it seems most put their name on. Time frame is - give folks enough time to get unpacked and get their FE's up, make sure all are delivered by about noon or so on the last day so people can pack up their goodies. I tend to deliver early so I'm not running around trying to get things done at the end of the cruise.

Also, I thought that Wdwgoose had to drop off. Check pg. 80, he's still listed on the FE list. I know it's alot for you to have to keep up with. I appreciate all your hard work. Before we know it this will just be great memories.

[LivingtheWDWdream]

It Must be getting close as school just finished for me!! Now to focus on my commencement for the school I graduated from in August. That is Saturday May 5th and then it will be time to start packing. Hard since we live in Florida, all the clothes we would want to bring with us are all the ones we need now.

We have everything we need for the FE's so now just have to take the time to put it all together. We won't be able to finish putting it all together until we board.

I'll get my pedicure before we leave and I am growing my hair out so no hair cut for me!
