[karajeboo]

I bought my granddaughter a snow white dress in WDW last May so she will wear that on formal night. How do you subscribe to this thread? I just go to the boards and find it.

You should be able to go to usercp now that you have posted, and it will pop up!

Hey FE Participants - I will send out a preliminary list with the names of the adults and the names and ages of the kiddos - that way you can personalize your gifts if you want to.

I made our FE for our last cruise, using the no-sew directions - it came out really cute. I used white for the base, then added pockets in red with white polka dots for the girls and black with white polka dots for DH - then accented with white ribbon with red polka dots. I just wrote our names on each pocket. I need to make a new one for this cruise since my older DD is coming along and she stayed home when we cruised in May.

I'm hoping to find some great sales on Halloween stuff to use for my goodie bags - I have my eye on the party favors at Walmart - Oriental Trading is also a great place to get things.

Hey Everyone - I don't know about you, but I am SOOOOO excited for this cruise

Welcome to all our new cruisers!!!!!

Right now we have 26 participants in 7 cabins signed up for our FE exchange - this is going to be so much fun. My DD's are already working on our gifts - they are both excited.

Is anyone planning on an excursion while at Nassau? We are thinking of doing the Atlantis resort????

Right now I have a room at CS booked, it gives full access to Atlantis for a fraction of the cost. I don't know if we'll keep it or not.

 

[momto2inKC]

Has everyone got a FE yet ? Are you buying one or making it?
Were going to attempt to make one, I think I'm going to enlist my mom

I made one for our last cruise. I swore I would NEVER make one again LOL I don't have a sewing machine so it was all by hand. This time i'll either use the same one or buy one off Ebay. I love some of the hand made ones on there. o[FONT="Comic

We're going to do the dolphin encounter. Can anyone tell me how to get the cruise clock onto this site? I did find the site to create them at.

On the countdowns, some are clickable, so if you click on someones in thier siggy, it'll take you directly to the site to make one. Some of the websites right on the tickers. Make your ticker, then go into User CP at the top of Disboards, go into your siggy and copy/paste the ticker code into your siggy.

I have a room booked at CS too - did you book it directly through the Comfort Inn website? I was hoping for a better rate - I saw some people saying they only piad about $175 plus the fees, I would love that rate. I'm not sure if we'll keep the reservation either - its alot of money for the day and I'm worried about the weather????

I did book direct. There is a thread on here with some discount codes. There was a Farmers Bureau code that people were using. Apparently they don't actually ask for a membership card. My rate is $224, but then they also add other fee's to your bill on top of that ($10 each adult energy charge and $4.50 each for housekeeping). But that's still better than the $160 a person Disney charges!

I tried that but it didn't work. Oh well, I'll try again. What is everyone doing on Castaway Cay? We're thinking of booking the Extreme Getaway Package. Anyone doing the Dolphin Encounter at Nassau.

 

[atm55]

Ok, copied the code this time. Let's see if that works.

You need to copy the code that has img in it

Unsure at this point. We did the stingray excursion last time. It was okay, but 3 of the 6 of us in our small group got our fingers chomped hard by the stingray LOL So I won't be doing that again!
The last time we were there the tide was low, so the play structure was closed. The kids were really bummed so we're hoping they get to play on it this time. I wouldn't mind a cabana massage

 

[karajeboo]

momto2inkc - where are you located? I was born and raised in Independence, but I haven't been back there in years!!! I loved the whole plaza area and I can remember as a kid going down for the Christmas tree lighting. Kinda like the building lighting during Illuminations on a smaller scale.

I did, apparently there is a technical problem - emailed for help. Can't copy any pictures or smilees.

I thought the stingrays were suppose to be safe? How bad did they chomp? Might have to rethink that part of the excursion.

 

[breakingd_awn]

We were also thinking of the stingray excursion,They always have that BIG smile on their face , I think we'll take a chance. My two oldest are going to do the Wild Side, has anyone heard any good about that?

[momto2inKC]

They are, we just were not instructed very well in my opinion. Our guide did not tell us exactly how long to leave our hand there, until after she realized what was going on What happend was it took the food, but then we kept our hand there so it 'sucked' up our finger. They have these 2 'plates' in there that chomp together to smash food. My finger was bruised and swollen for awhile. But, its NOT common LOL

Ok, then the stingrays are still a go.

 

[momto2inKC]

Definitely go for it.... Just remember to pull your hand back as soon as you feel it suck the food out of your fingers! lol.
