Jammin' to Jamaica - Aug 30 2014 ~ Fantasy ~ 7-Night Western

[sirena]

I have a DS9 who loves to make friends. I imagine he will want to spend most of the cruise in the club making new friends

Jay posted on the kids thread. Is your son there? Jay has kik and Instagram too. It would be great to get them connected.

my son, Mackenzie, is in the shower then bed I'm afraid (will be 8pm by then, we're in the UK) as he leaves early for school but I'll get the app on his tablet and get him to reply tomorrow after school.

Awesome!! Jay loves to play minecraft and he has been watching videos on YouTube from a player in the uk. It's funny because he's now obsessed with the English accent from the videos.

Hi everyone!! So DH and I are staying at POR the night before the cruise, yay!!! We were going to stay at Hyatt and then take a cab to and from DTD but I found that would be $110 round trip so we would save $49 by staying at POR, it's a no brainer.

Anyways, has anyone done this itenerary before? If so, what are the "must do" things in Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Falmouth? We would like to visit a nice beach area and try some local cuisine.

I have not done this itinerary before, but I hope someone is able to answer you

Lise, is our group too big to keep in the Mickey FE group? I have already started FEs for some of the people on the Mickey list and Avery has been talking to the girls on the kids thread. If it's not possible we understand... Just wanted to ask.

 

[sirena]

Hello there! I am thinking about starting a free fitness challenge to get a few pounds off before the cruise. It will include meal planning, fitness and support. Please let me know if you are interested in joining. Send me a FB request (www.facebook.com/igangadin) and we can get it going. It will be all done from your home, at your own time. We can support each other via a private Facebook group.

Yes, she is. Thanks for catching that.

My lines were breaking incorrectly the ?? goes with disneyglamour. I fixed it and moved disneyglamour to the correct list, Donald FE.

Hi Beth,

I'm not sure what to say We had talked about closing the FE back in October because it was getting so big (we already had 72 individuals in 22 cabins). People wanted to make sure they could create the number of gifts needed, afford "nice" gifts and have time to deliver them with it still being fun.

Since then we had a number of folks switch cruises and we also had many unconfirmed participants, it was hard to determine what to do. I haven't been on a cruise with two DISboards FE groups. On our last cruise the list was pretty giant. I split our FE list at the end of the year and hoped that would workout once I got the final confirmations.

Your family group is 4 cabins with 15 individuals, right? My concern with making the Mickey group any larger is twofold. The size of Mickey... and also the size of Donald. We don't want Mickey to be giant... and we want to make sure there are enough participants in Donald. I'm thinking we'll leave Donald open 'til April 30 or May 30, but there no way to guess how many new cabins will join in that time.

The current FE numbers are:
Mickey FE Group - Cabins 21 - Individuals 64 - Adults 37 (Women 21, Men 16) Kids 27 (Girls 18, Boys 9)
Donald FE Group - Cabins 14 - Individuals 47 - Adults 29 (Women 17, Men 12) Kids 18 (Girls 10, Boys 8)
I still have 4 original cabins uncomfirmed for a total of 13 individuals. For now, they are on Donald. I hope we hear from them.

All this said, I'm happy to do whatever the group wants.

My personal plan is that my family will participate in Mickey plus I will have Sabrina pick out little gifts for all the DISkids she connects with on the Kids Only (FE or not, Donald or Mickey). That will only add a few kid gifts to ourf shopping list, and it's fun to spread the magic.

Do you know if this club is come and go as you want? It will be the first time that my DD can wonder around and I am a bit nervous about that. I saw there are phones you can use now but she is one to lose everything too. If we use them, is there a charge? Is it text and voice?

Well I am ready to start right away There's no better time like today. I have been doing pretty good so far so I just want to continue on track. I've been eating healthy and doing my workout DVDs consistently. I want to look good on my pictures and be able to feel good at the beach

I can start the group whenever. We can also have it ongoing so people can join as they are ready.

Anyone else interested in getting fit and healthy for the cruise?

I have a group going for all my other cruises, I just didn't bother with this one. I am so glad you started it I am on the third phase of p90x, so I am definitely in

That's awesome! I am now doing p90x3 and I love the shorter condensed version. P90x was a big time commitment but I did 2 rounds. Are you doing shakeology too?

Nope, I don't like it. I'm going to start p90x3 after, but I started p90x with Julie so I am going to see it through with her.

Is Julie your daughter? That's pretty impressive that she is doing it too. Isa did one workout from T25 with me and that's all she likes. She will not do yoga. I love my shake though. Well we have one more person joining so far. Let's see if we can get more and when you guys when to start.

I prefer Insanity, but she hated it. So I let her choose between all the different workouts I have and she picked P90X. I figure if she is picking it, she is more likely to do it. She's not as enthused about working out at all, but she is only 11. The gyms here are age 16 to join, but she would much prefer headphones in her ears and using an elliptical. I have done Asylum, but the one that has you jumping for over 30 minutes, I throw up after 25 minutes every single time. I thought it was something I ate at first, but my body just doesn't want me jumping that much I guess. It's happened 5 times (yes apparently I am a glutton for punishment because I kept trying.)

I like Brazilian Butt but only as a supplement to another workout. On it's own, I don't get many results. I have done p90X and Insanity B2B for a few rounds, but now that I home school, that takes up way too much time.
