Really? I didn't know I was so talkative! I'm not really in person..I guess I just have alot of questions.
I didn't realize we had so many in the group. The FE and magnet list is so small compared to the number of people who have posted.
Looking forward to actually putting real faces to you all in just a little over a couple of months now! Woo Hoo!

Gosh - I have missed several days - MUST catch up! I hope everyone had a GREAT week!

We still haven't told the kids! We kept a Disney World trip a secret last year. We are keeping this cruise a secret until after Christmas. At least, I plan to! We are having Christmas with extended family and don't want anyone to feel left out if our kiddos talk about the AWESOME upcoming cruise! It's all I can do not to tell! I have pirate stuff hidden in the attic! It's kind of fun!

I picked up a few Disney items at Target this week! They had cute write on/wipe off boards - we'll just need to glue magnets on the back of them to stick to the stateroom doors. Only a buck!!!

Question for all of the veteran cruisers - how "dressed up" do folks get for pirate night? I have a few accessories for each of us - and a pirate dress up outfit for DD. I wondered about getting some additional items for the rest of us. Hubby doesn't want to be too dressed up. Could someone give suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

We are letting DS wear his Pirate halloween costume(go figure we are going on a crusie with a pirate theme and he decides to dress up as a pirate...lol). DD, DH and I have scarf hats and maybe eye patches but I think thats about it.

Ok.... this is the update on the pillowcases....
I did NOT find any charges to my paypal for the $50.00 I got the email about so I am not sure what happened there but keeping an eye out. Also I finally received a reply from the seller. It reads as follows...
Hi there,

Boy did I mess that one up! I guess I was thinking anyone cruising in Jan. must be on the Dream. LOL The funny thing is we will be on the Magic the week before you on an Eastern cruise. I will put new pillow cases in the mail for you today or tomorrow. I've already printed the shipping for them I just have to get them on the machine.

So I will not need your friend Kelli. Not unless they do not show up that is...lol. Thank you for being so wonderful! And thank you everyone for allowing me to vent and stress online.

 

[kaj1436]

That's great news! Hopefully your new pillowcases will arrive soon.
I'm still waiting for our t shirts...fingers crossed!

 

[Cheechow]

what a relief about your pillowcases Chrisse.

i have a pirate costume for DS but will see if he wears it or not since right now he wants nothing to do with it DH and i currently have a hat and a bandanna not sure what else we will add to that. In looking at pictures it looks like anything goes a full costume to just a bandanna to no pirate attire at all

Thanks! I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new cases and I hope they are as wonderful as the first ones but with the right ship name!

For Pirate night we were going to just do the scarf hats and eye patches(kids) and last night I had an idea while perusing the main forums. How would this be...

Plain t-shirts with this transfered onto it...









I saw them on the cruise magnet link and am just waitnig on them being personalized then I will put them on Tshirts for Pirate night. DO you guys this this will be good enough? I had origionally ordered them for the door and might still make magnets of them too but I think they would be cute for pirate night.

 

[kaj1436]

I think that is a great idea.
I actually ordered some pirate mickey shirts on ebay..they are really cute. We all have matching ones. I also bought some pirate hats for the girls and a bandana for myself. That's it. No big costumes for us..not that we would have room in our luggage anyway!

I've got to put my thinking cap on for ideas! Everyone is so creative!

 

[Lokkabear]

I actually came up with another idea and did it all myself! I will post it. I have not decided exactly how I am going to do it yet but I am thinking maybe the Pirate Mickey head on the front like a name tag and the new design on the back but I may just put the main design on the front. Anyways, here is my idea…

For the boys...

For the girls...

As you can see, I accomplished little around the hosue today...lol. I did however finish up all my FE's with spares for new sign ups(hopefully) and am ready FE wise!

I am running out of things to work on though... and I still have 66 days till our vacation starts!

Hello All - just found out about this forum on Cruise Critic. Looks like it will take some time to get up to speed. We too are booked for this sailing. Our party consists of 6 adults and 5 children (ages 13, 8, 8, 8, and 4). I am not sure whose more excited! I have sailed on the Magic four times previously and have made many great friends. Hope to make some new ones!!!! WOW less than 70 days till sailing - YEAH.

Welcome to the boards! Glad you will be joining us. Sounds like you have quite the crew going with you! If you check post #37 you will find all the meet, FE, Magnet exchange info if your interested. Just a few weeks left to meet the cut off!!! Hope to hear more from you as the days close in! SO exciting to have only 69 days left!!!

 

[dizzi]

WELCOME........

Not really too much to get up to speed with.......

Speaking only for myself......I just like to see myself talk!!!

 

[dizzi]

I have seen a good bit of just aout everything...

I saw several people including adults be dressed up so much i thought they were characters on the ship.

And i have seen people do just a hat or eye patch and everything in between.

If i can find them i will post our pirate night pics.

Awesome! Welcome aboard! As you want to do FE's will you please PM me so I can add you to the list. Just need staterooms (when you have it/them), how many adults, how many kids & their ages and whether they are a boy or girl...

Hey there! I followed the link here from the Cruise Critic site, and have really been getting a lot of valuable information. Thanks so much for all the tips. I hope you'll bear with me, as I this is my first time on a Disney cruise and I have absolutely no experience with discussion boards!

My little family of three will be joining you all on this cruise, and we could not be more excited! After reading as many pages of this thread as my tired old eyes will allow, I've decided that my daughter would get a kick out of FE's. I clicked a link to send a PM to Tinkerkell123, but I saw a message that reads "Until your post count reaches 10, you will be able to PM staff only." So is it ok to just include our info here? We'd also be interested in participating in meet-ups, if there are any scheduled.

Welcome aboard! Glad you could join us! If you need to make your 10 posts, you can post randomly here to reach that. After you have posted randomly just send Tinkerkell123 a post wiht your info.

We are planning a meet, FE exchange and magnet exchange as well as scavenger hunts to do at your leisure. You can sign up for any or all of these. The cut off date for signing up for FE Exchange is November 24th.

It's great to have you and can't wait to see your names on the FE list!!!

WELCOME!!! This is a WONDERFUl board - I am also a newcomer! Make yourself at home! Lots of GREAT folks! If you are interested, there are FE exchanges, meets, etc.

I agree - only a few short days till we sail! Can't wait to meet everyone! We have an 8 yo boy (will turn 9 right before cruise) and a 3 yo girl (4 in February).

This is our first Disney Cruise - can't wait!

Again, WELCOME!!!
