February 25th Magic Cruise Board

[threewilmingtonwalls]

i would like to do the run on CC but it seemsike it would take up to much time.

i dunno

Not if you run fast!! I think they changed the way it works, though. Last time, we (runners) were allowed to get off the ship first. I was probably back on the ship by 10. Now, I think I read that the run doesn't even start until 10 or 10:30. You'd do better just to get off and run the trail yourself, not as part of the "official" 5k. It's not timed or anything. We got a certificate and a water bottle, but I don't know if they still do that either.

Please let me know if I missed anyone. If you haven't sent me your room number, please do so I can get it on the list!

A few people asked if we should do an organized exchange to insure that everyone gets treats each day. Right now we have 14 families signed up for the FE. I am going to suggest looking at the list around December 15th, shortly after the payment is due to see how many participants we have. Is that OK?

Watch your email this evening or tomorrow for the updated FE list. It has the date and version number on the bottom!

Have a great evening!

Still 2 weeks until us first timers can book...

I'm hoping you didn't take all the good Palo ressies! DH and i want to do dinner one night without the kids, since unlike some other folks around here, ours is coming with us!

I got the FE list thanks!

Currently mixing Christmas prep and FE crafting! Hope I don't get the 2 mixed up! Merry Christmas cruise?!

I will probably be on the track everymorning and would love to have company! I would also love to join a group running the Castaway Cay run, either the official or unofficial version. Is anyone doing the Royal Family 5k at WDW before we sail? Yes I am one of those crazy running folk. The gym schedule is something I investigate fully.......right after the drink specials and dinner menus!

ha ha ...... i dont know for sure.....obviously not many people really know, ................BUT, I have read that they dont give up all the reservations at once, there should be plenty left for you, and if for some chance there isnt you can get it once you get on....i have had to do that once when we booked a cruise really late in the game

It's the weekend we sail. That's why our nights were blackout dates on some of the discounted rates! The Princess 1/2 Marathon is on Sunday the 26th. There are activities starting on Friday and the 5k is Saturday morning. Let's strap on our running shoes - Lilia and the boys can pick us up on their way to the port! Hey, runners get discounted park tickets!

 

[dizzi]

This is my second Princess 1/2 wknd, I was slightly bummed to miss the big race as I LOVED it the first time..... but got over it The Royal Family 5k start is at 7am through Epcot, should be plenty of time to get to the port, unless I get whisked away by Prince Charming on the route

The discounted park tickets are a great bonus, although the discount has become a little less in recent years. This will be my 5th RunDisney race, so well organized and so much fun!

That's awesome! I am not normally a runner, unless I am trying to get to a tennis ball. Wait...that makes me sound like a dog.

I started out as a ball chaser as well .... Soccer ball that is .... Moved on to the non-ball chasing running when the opposing team started getting closer to my kids ages than my own!

I got the FE list thanks!

I called the Disney Cruise Lines yesterday to ask if we were close to selling out of this cruise and the Cast Member said although it was not sold out, the amount of rooms not sold aren't causing a panic in Disney's book.

I was searching for an answer on a potential Kids Sail Free Promo but it doesn't look good.

Any-who-I think the Palo ressies should be there, still.

Good Luck!

Love the name-works for me! Got the FE list but wanted to tell you to flip the last two numbers of our room to 12! As in the year we set sail!!!! Getting anxious now. Never sailed and heard great things. Everyday my 3 year old daughter asks if we are going to see Mickey! Just bought the princesses dresses for the cruise for her for Christmas. Can't wait!

 

[dizzi]

sorry that there may not be a kids sail free for this..............

BUT i am sort of glad i dont want ANY reason to feel obligated to bring kids with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dizzi]

OK

Disney Devils......Sailing to the Saints

it is...........

I did search for the Mickey in the devil costume last night and finally found it.
yipee....

 

[dizzi]

HELLO

IS there anybody in there???????
