So let us know what excursions and spa treatments you chose????? I'm curious to what everyone is looking to do... I wish there was enough time to do them all......

Is anyone considering Captain Marvin's in Grand Cayman for their excursion or has anyone done this excursion and can comment? Thanks.

Weather is starting to cool off and get dreary. At this rate, I'll definately be ready for a vacation come February! I Need SUN!!!

We are going to stick to the Disney Excursions for our first go around to make sure there are no hiccups but from what I've read on the DIS Boards people swear by them...... I have only read postive things about their excursions-If we can't dock at Grand Cayman (Which I hope never happens to us!!!) they will not charge you for the excursion- Seem like a professional outfit and reputable. Hope that helps you!

If you go to the cruise line forum and search fish extender you will come up with a huge post with pictures and ideas. Things I got on our first cruise included helpful items like bandaids, hand wipes, highlighters, notepads; storebought items such as candy and mini liquor bottles; items from people's home town or country like magnets; and handmade items like mickey journals, a cross stitched book mark, disney magnets for our door; and of course loot for pirate night like eye patches or pirate jewelry is popular too. Everything is appreciated and it's fun to see what items you get every day.

I figured any of the Dune Buggy, ATV adventures would go quick but not that quick. I can't believe 7 mile beach is Sold OUt already!!!! Is Rum Point Beach Available still? At this rate I will be calling Captain Marvin's myself for a trip-LOL!!! Guess there are alot of Disney Cruise Veterans hitting the high seas with us. I hope there are some good excursions available by Nov 19th. Thanks again Sharon for looking that up. It gives me hope that some of my kids choices are still open for now......

Looking forward to our first cruise. My family as well as my parents will be there.

Can't wait.

 

[Roxy217]

I have been OBSESSED with this FE thing! I think a Disney monster has been created . . . ME!! LoL! This is our first cruise but I have a feeling it won't be out last. I love the DISboards and all who are a part of it - you all make every trip that much more MAGICAL! Can't wait to meet you in February

 

[magic458]

I don't know our room number by heart...you think I would, but I will post soon.

Wow. That is amazing. We are about to book our excursions, but at this point I don't think we are looking at anything Disney.
