February 18, 2006 Magic - Who's Onboard? Roll Call post #156

[Pea-n-Me]

Thanks for the list, Leanne.

Now how about an onboard DIS meet?

That sounds good. I know one of us is in the WED Suite and had mentioned a meet in there as a possibility. I don't know if they want the kids running around in there, maybe an adults only wine and cheese hour or something might be better for them? That's up to them, they can let us know (I'd be happy to bring some wine or pitch in, whatever).

Maybe we can make a list of ideas and see what everyone likes. Our last Dis meet was on Secret Aft Deck 7 in August - it was very hot - scorching, actually. And many of the kids bagged out because they wanted to play, go in the pool, etc... I remember thinking it would have been better to meet in the Promenade Lounge or by one of the pools. The time was good, however, 3pm on Embarkation Day - it gave us an hour to meet before the life boat drill as well as time to eat lunch, make reservations if need be and get a drink. Where have those of you who have cruised before done your Dis meets and how did they go?

So, here are some ideas - let us know what you think:

Deck 9 in between the Mickey and Goofy pools at one of the tables along the side? 3pm? That way kids can play and we'll be nearby, we can maybe relax a bit.

Promenade Lounge, 3pm? (Is it open then??)

Others??

I think I will edit the title of this thread to reflect the Roll Call list. Hopefully if others are reading this they'll join in. When I called DCL the other day they told me as of right now the ship is 99% full.

I meant to ask you guys who are from N. Kingstown RI, do you know eachother? If not, that's kind of funny, huh? Ourselves and the Mykel Mouse family are traveling together, and we're from the same town too (he tricked me at the beginning of this thread by joining the Dis without telling me, LOL).

Also, Dreamer, can you tell us what the weather was like when you cruised in Feb 05? Thanks!

This will be our second DCL cruise so we have not done a meet yet. I think inside would be a better choice due to the fact that Feb is so unpredictable that it could rain in FLA ( I hope not). 3pm on Embark. day sounds fine but we are open to anything ... I seem to have lost all the green mickeys I took from Home Depot but I will go get more.

Is anyone making a door magnet??

Anyone dressing up for Pirate night?

We do not know the other family from North Kingstown and I believe they are traveling with another family but I am sure we will meet on the ship.

We are booked for the Megans bay on St Thomas and the Butterfly Farm on St Marteen but we are considering doing the excursions by ourselves

We are also doing the Brunch at Palo on Sunday and the Dinner on Wed

Hi again all! Linda, I sent you a PM.

The weather last February was a little of everything. As a matter of fact, on Castaway Cay they canceled our parasailing excursion-too windy! But the weather was sunny enough to swim and sunbathe on St Thomas and St Maarten.

We're doing Palo brunch on Sunday and Palo dinner on Thursday.

Looks like DD8 and I will be going to Coki Beach on St Thomas. DH and DS16 will be playing golf.

St Maarten is still sort of up in the air. We did the Anguilla Dolphin Enounter last year so we're looking for something less expensive this year.

I like the idea of the 3:00pm DISmeet near the pools. Time and place works for me!

 

[Dreamer04]

Burma, I was thinking of Magens Bay, too. My brother said that it gets crowded. Last year we went to Coki Beach and we would have loved it but my DD had a sunburn so she really wasn't into it. This year I am going to be a sunblock maniac!

I have the excursion booked but we might think of doing it ourserlves. If you want to share a cab or van over let me know

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Yes, we are doing a door sign (still have last year's on my fridge) and also dressing up for Pirate Night. We tried out our Pirate outfits at MNSSHP and they worked out pretty well.

We are doing Palo brunch on Monday and dinner on Thursday, but those dates are subject to change if our travel party can't get the same ones when they book on the 5th.

What I'd like to work on is a CD of cruise songs. There was a thread about it not too long ago, if anyone wants to see it I'll try to find it.

We were debating about tuxes but since DH needs a new suit anyway, I think we'll probably be skipping the tuxes this time around. Anyone else wearing tuxes for formal night?

Still undecided about St Martin and St Thomas but will probably be low key.

 

[burma]

Ill be wearing a tux if I can squeeze my fat body into it ... after the holidays I tend to put on a few extra LBS


I would like to see the cruise songs list


What night is pirate night??

 

[Dreamer04]

On the 10/15 Eastern, Pirate Night was on Tuesday-St Maarten.

No tuxedos here. Just suits for DH and DS and dressy dresses for DD and me.

Good idea! I am kind of drawn to Magen Bay because its talked about so much and I've never been there. Coki Beach is nice-but kind of been there, done that, ya know?

 

[Pea-n-Me]

I'm pretty sure this is it.

Thank you, Linda!

 

[burma]

so did we decide yet on a meeting time and place??

 

[Dreamer04]

I like the idea of a meet on deck nine near the Mickey and Goofy pools. I know myDD8 will want to be IN the pool!

 

[Haley'smom]

We are cruise newbies and will meet anywhere (we don't know any better ), but the pool sounds good to us, too.

After Christmas I will work on our door signs.

We are also planning on pirate wear

Don't think DH will be wearing a tux, but he will try to be suave and as James Bond like as possible.

And I am very jealous and eagerly awaiting December 5 to book ressies

Also, thanks for the cruise song link. Very cool! I am getting more excited every day (if that's possible).

 

[Dreamer04]

Haley's Mom, two more days til you can book online!

 

[Triggs2]

I also like the idea of Deck 9 between the pools. I am very excited about meeting you all.
What day are we meeting? On Saturday after the mandatory life boat exercise?

 

[Lazeric]

I am excited about meeting everyone too. When would this take place?

Me my partner and our 11yo daughter are looking forward to our first cruise on Disney.

Thanks to everyone on this Forum

Just sent in final payment for our cruise.....

OUCH and WOO HOO!

 

[Dreamer04]

Hey everyone! Getting ready for Christmas?

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Hey everyone! Getting ready for Christmas?

Yes, sure am!! Kind of nice with this upcoming cruise as it gave us something to focus on in buying gifts. We got 4 walkie-talkies as a family present (to keep in touch on the ship), and of course Disney Dollars and Disney gift cards to use for excursions and souveniers.

As soon as Christmas is over, our cruise will be right around the corner!

BTW, I also like the idea of meeting by the pools on Deck 9. I believe the walls are glassed in there, aren't they? So if it's chilly out it won't be too bad. I know my kids will be in the pools even if it's freezing out!
