Greetings! Aren't the days dragging when you think about being on the ship? And aren't the days flying by when you think about packing?

YES!!!! I keep thinking that I have a million things to do before we leave yet per my previous post, dealing with this frigid weather, it can't get here soon enough

I just got that message. I was out of town at a convention (where it was 70 degrees), which didn't help my inability to focus while counting down the days until the cruise.

The four inches of snow headed my way won't help either!

Our cruise is getting close, we leave two weeks from today, February 2nd. Looking forward to some warm weather down in the Caribbean. We're suppose to get some snow this weekend as well, hoping not too much, since we're heading to our condo in Ocean City, MD to watch the Ravens game on Sunday with some friends.

Just finished my FE and I have to say it turned out pretty good for someone who doesn't sew much. All I need to do is pick up some iron on letters so I can add our names. The letters at Walmart was to big so now I have wait till next week in order to get to the craft store to purchase some smaller letters.

I use to do scrapbooking but now I do photo books from shutterfly.com. I started doing these several years ago, so I might purchase the CD in order to use the photos in the photo book I make following the cruise.

See everyone onboard.

Have all the stuff to put the FE's together. Waiting for our FE to come (ordered it off EBay). We leave on the 3rd. One night at Boardwalk before--two nights at AKL concierge for my birthday after. AP's purchased and TW in the planning. (We've already booked AK for Christmastime.) Gotta love Disney!

Hi all!

I am excited to be going soon BUT i am worried because I sprained my ankle 11 days ago and am STILL on crutches. Reallllly hoping I heal before we leave. I was going to do the 5k but now i can't run or do ANY workouts for awhile

 

[partymama]

Constructed our FE 2 weeks ago and was pretty impressed with myself as I don't sew either, lol
We fly out on the 29th and spending 6 days at DW. Has anyone ever eaten at the Marrakesh restaurant at Epcot?
We are also going to Disney on Ice here at home next week just to get geared up, haha
My daughter said she is feeling Disney in her heart

It was my 7 yr old Brooke and I also have a 10 yr old DD named Reese

I was planning to make the reservation for our next cruise while we are on board to take adventage of the discount.[/QUOTE]

Are the discounts on board substantial?

What kind of discount does Disney give for booking a future cruise while onboard? I should start working on my DH and maybe we can book our next Disney cruise. We would like to take the whole family on our next cruise.

Has anyone tried to find out what movies will be playing while we're on board? We tried calling the phone # in the sticky, but it bounced us to a reservation line.

Yeah I wonder!! Hope something good!! We haven't had a chance to get to the movies since the holidays. I think our last movie was the Muppets. I'm going to throw the question out on the boards and lets see what kind of feedback we get. I can't believe its in two weeks. I thought I've been prepared all this time but now I'm second guessing if I'm remembering everything.....and hoping mother nature gets all of us safely down to Florida with no big storms brewing. Accuweather stops at Thursday, Feb 1st as to the weather. Guess I'll need to wait til tomorrow and see what they are calling for the Friday we head out.

 

[bobrowskifam4]

So how much am I looking forward to it?!
Um, it is going to be -41 degrees celcius here tonight...Need I say anymore?
Lol

I feel for you!!!!!!! I'm not a winter person and here I think 18 degrees at night is cold!!! Hang in there!! Vacation is almost here!!

I checked and sail date is available. I booked it, but a bit sad, as it's my son's 5th bday that day and he is super shy around other kids until he gets going. Not sure how well he will do in the kids club, plus this whole vacation is completley new for him. Never flown or on a ship. Will have to play by ear and maybe i can check for cancelllations once on the ship.

Thank you for the info.

Do you have to go to Palo to see about changing reservations or can guest services do that? I would like to see what Palo options are open but I'm not sure where to go.

Thanks for any insight!

Thats great that you could make it yourself!!! I cheated and bought one on Ebay in October and just got it this week!!!! Nothing like last minute!! Some of the reviews on the seller were making me nervous because some people said they didn't get theirs on time. It came out great!! I also ordered 2 pillowcases and will have them dropped off at Customer Service to have autographed for the kids. They came out good - she embroidered a cruise ship on them and had "Magic" put on the side of the ship.

My one question for you all...... How big are your FE Extender's? I thought mine was going to be bigger than what I got- Looked bigger in the photos- Its prob. about 24-36 in long. Just was curious.....

Are you looking to book at Palo? If so- check out the Planning Center under the Disney Cruise website and it will come up with the days of the week and what events/excursions you can book. The last time I checked there was still openings for the Brunch at Palo's- Guess the dinner goes fast becase I don't remember seeing any availalbe as of last week. There was a ton of excursions available still as well.

If you need to change I'm sure once you get aboard ship guest services can help you- I'm sure there are many people who need to switch days and times to accomadate schedules- Good Luck!!

Thanks! I have a dinner and brunch reserved now. I was interested to find out what was held back to see about moving our dinner. We've attended the dinner before so I'm not 100% certain I'll keep our reservation. I definitely want to keep our brunch time.

 

[bobrowskifam4]

We booked a brunch as well- My husband isn't one who enjoy's getting all dressed up- Wanted to experience Palo but knew he wouldn't probably enjoy the dinner. I like brunches in general better anyway- We are booked for Monday-

 

[bobrowskifam4]

Posted a thread on the boards about the most current movies showing on the Magic- So far no takers. I will keep checking and let you know if we get any info....
