On page 11 of the thread Mancub (Amy?) said she'd keep the list, but I haven't seen any other posts about it. You may want to PM her to make sure it's being kept up with. It would be nice to have an update/count.

Thanks!!! I PM'ed Mancub, we'll see where it goes from here!

Is there a link that explains the other abbreviations being used---such as those for members of your families/groups (DD, DS, DH, etc.)?

Does anyone know if wetsuits are available for rent at the ports? or if they are included in any of the excursion fees?

I read a post somewhere about a 5k family run at Castaway Cay, does anyone know if that is a regular offering? My husband and daughter are planning on running the 5k in WDW before our cruise and would be interested if another one is organized at Castaway Cay.

Thank you for any information or links to threads that you can share!

I posted about the 5k on the island, it is held every cruise first thing in the morning and you get the special treatment of being among the first people to be cleared onto the island i believe it starts around 8-830 am. You are allowed to walk or run they allow everyone to go it at their own pace.

It would be nice to have an update/count.

There are currently a total of 84 people signed up on this thread for the cruise!!! I'll post a count to give an idea for fish extenders kids vs. adults tomorrow!!!

OK, sorry for being away so long everyone...it's been a rough Fall so far. Welcome to all the new members of our cruise!!!

I went thru the pages I missed, and added onto my list. Here is my current estimates.

13 "kids" from 18 to 23 - 4 boys, 9 girls

19 kids from 17 down - not sure of boys/girls on all of them

Lots of fun adults!!

How about this. If you are interested in fish extenders, go ahead and private message me your names and ages (and m/f bc some of the names are confusing) of everyone in your party interested and their cabin numbers, and include an email address for me. I have a lot of this info already, but go ahead and do it anyways so I'll make sure to have it correct. Then I'll make a master list and send it out as we get closer to the cruise. Let's set a date for ending the FE. It can get tough to add on extras at the end, and with the holidays and all...how about Dec. 1?

I have 20 actual families who have posted, but they mention lots of extended families coming with...if they are interested, I need that info, also. And I think someone on my list decided not to go, but not sure where I read that. If you know, please tell me. Thanks!

I am more ready for this cruise than you can begin to imagine!!!!!

Oh, and if someone else wouldn't mind planning the meet and greet, that would be great!

 

[Fawn]

Let me add that I've also been keeping track of where everyone is from and how many Disney cruises and cruises overall they've been on. If you want that info posted on the spreadsheet, include that also! Thanks!

Not sure if this will work, but if you are on facebook, go to groups and search for Disney Magic January 9, 2010 Western Cruise. Join up!!

I didn't even realize we were that close..anyone book anything??..I could not get High Tea....but something will open up I am sure...Post what you booked and why to give thee rest of us ideas..anybody doing any Dolphin Encounters??

I signed my daughter (will be 23) for the "Extreme Dolphin Swim" and my son (20) for the Dolphin Encounter; my husband & I will be "Dolphin Observers". I'm still investigating wetsuits in case the water is cold in January. (If anyone has participated in these encounters before and has advice please let us know). thank you!

 

[lulu1996]

Thank you for sharing the threads--they are very helpful!

 

[mancub]

Hey - Hey. I agree with Fawn about this being a hectic fall already - so with that - I will pm fawn with the FE info I have already compiled and let her take over. Thanks tink576 for emailing me also, I will send the info to you also and the two of you can decide who will be in charge. I just cannot get on the dis as much as I would like!! Dec. 1 sounds like a good date for the deadline for the FE - I may have two more families interested and need the deadline to make sure I contact them. It looks like we have 10 cabins already committed!! This is going to be so fun - will the meet and greet just be a time and a location on the first day? If so, we can just throw out a place and time - any ideas!?!

Happy Cruisin'!!

HI all and LuLu

The first year we went ( 2 years ago)..we swam at CC, which is the furthest point North, so of course all the points further South were fine.

Last year the water at CC was much colder..but everyplace south of CC was ok. They year before everyplace South was great.

I would think if you needed wetsuits they would be provided..I am betting you don't. But hey I live in Seattle the water is just above freezing here most of the time, and yes people swim in it.

 

[tow-mater-1]

JOANNA!! It's good to see you back I was getting worried about you! I thought you may have bailed on us.

 

[lulu1996]

Apparently we have to have 10 posts to become eligible to send private messages or emails--I'm getting close but was rejected when I tried to do so.

Based on the abbreviations list, my family has
DW 54-1st Disney cruise
DH 56-1st Disney cruise
DD 23-1st Disney cruise
DS 20-will be second Disney cruise (1st was with grandparents 6 yrs ago)

we will be in stateroom 6555

thank you!

Hi Char! Bail on a Magic Cruise...I don't think so!!

Been a little busy around here lately, so I'm really going to need this cruise by January!!

Someone asked me if they could have the list even if they don't do the FE. Of course! I will put everyone who signs up on the list, and highlight in another color the ones who are doing the FE...that way everyone at the meet and greet will know each other!

Fawn,
I'm glad that you are still doing the fish extenders, since you had been of the boards for quite a while I wasn't sure if you were actually organizing the FE's etc... Thanks for the work organizing that you are putting in!

 

[tink576]

Oh...And my sister can't go anymore ... ... but my brother can! So now it'll be me (21) and my brother (13), we are so excited all the other 13 yr old boys already registered!!!!!!

Hey, no problem...and I'll take all the help I can get! Still waiting to hear on a lot of people their information and whether they want to be part of an overall list or the FE.

 

[Fawn]

Hey guys...Tink thought it might help to see the list I have so far for everyone. That way you will know what I'm missing and can PM me the information. I need to know cabin numbers and if you want in on the FE. Remember, names are important because some people do personalized items. On the final list, I'll just put ages for up to...let's say 25. After that it will be A for Adult. If you want the spreadsheet mailed to you after Dec. 1, I will need your emails, also.

And a reminder that I posted a link for our Facebook page...sign up, guys!
