January 8, 2011 - 7 Night Western Caribbean Sailing

[luv2cruz24]

We do all our grocery shopping in MA!?!

Any suggestions for Dinner and Breakfast outside the World?


The only suggestions I can offer as places to eat outside of Disney are Olive Garden, Friendly's, and Wendy's. Nothing special, but they were familiar places that we knew were kid friendly as far as menu choices.

Hmmm, I'm thinking since you do your grocery shopping in MA you must live pretty close to us. We're in Swansea.

Any suggestions for Dinner and Breakfast outside the World? We are coming in the Friday before and since we will have a rental car we can actually leave the World for Dinner?!? Also suggestions for Breakfast on the way to the Port?

We had dinner (twice) at Bahama Breeze when we visited WDW in July. For breakfast we hit a nearby Denny's. (We stayed off-property this year as an experiment - won't do that again.)

Hi Guys,
I've been reading through the previous posts and I'm still oh so confused on the whole FE thing. I know they are hung on the doors but what kinds of gifts do you give each other? Do you just drop the gifts in each other's pockets on any day? Are there special rules? Is it only for kids? My husband and I are in our late 20's, early 30's. Is this something that would be fun for us?
This is our first Disney Cruise and we want to take advantage of all the fun we can!

I totally jumped the gun on my last post. Upon going back and reading all the posts I think I understand what FE's are all about. I would love to participate. How does it work?

You can start off here...

Check some of the past posts here on the Meet page and you'll find who is participating and some other useful information. It's my first time with the FE as well, so I'll let those who've actually done it provide you with the details.

Not to sound too geeky, but I wonder if TRON will be playing on our cruise. I think it comes out in December. That would be so cool if it is.

Hi everyone! I've been on a Staycation this week so haven't got to the computer much. Hello to all the newcomers -- look forward to meeting everyone!

We'll have our meet at 3pm in the Promenade Lounge.

I'll be updating the list of every Dis'er who's with us next week, when I get to work as I keep the master list on my computer there. Once I do, please contact me (at CMCLaura@aol.com) with any names or kids' ages or cabin numbers that I've left out -- or anything I've got wrong. It's been known to happen....

I'm sure Lisa will update the FE list soon, too.

I was up at midnight last Saturday, making our ressies. Got Palo dinner, brunch and tea, yay, plus the two parasailings my DH wants and my teen daughter's Wild Side Excursion on CC. No other excursions -- we did the same cruise in January this year so we'll just Old Town Trolley it around Key West and walk around a bit at GC and Cozumel. All we really want to do in Cozumel is go to lunch at Pancho's Backyard, yeah.

For whoever was looking for a good breakfast place in O-town, you can't go wrong with Cracker Barrel, especially if you're around the Universal area (it's right off I-4, too). They used to have a really great breakfast place in LePeep, but that's gone now.

Welcome! You will love the FE...My husband and I are early 30's and we LOVE it! I will update the list soon!

Laura glad you got all of your Palo reservations. Did anyone set up a Facebook page? I just set this one up...come join. It will be nice to see pictures of everyone and get to know you all.

It will be fun!

I am the other 1/2 of the RI couple that you have been posting with - we live in Riverside, so we are in your neck of the woods all the time! Can't wait to see you at the Meet.

This is a total surprise for our kids, they are going to have no idea we are going on the cruise until we drive up; they don't even know we are going on vacation. We are so psyched.

Our last cruise DD was 3 and DS was 18mo. so we were not able to do much. DH and I are really looking foward to actually enjoying what the ship offers this time.

Just sent a request to join the FB group, it will be great to see some faces with the names.

That is SO awesome!!! We love surprising our kids too, and do mystery rides all the time. Unfortunately I don't have the restraint to keep a cruise a secret. Wow, you're good!

Look forward to meeting you!

So we cannot book our Palo reservations OR our shore excursions until 10/25. I'm super worried all the cool stuff is going to be booked. Do we still have a good chance of getting Palo dinner reservations in advance or do you think we'll have to be put on the waiting list on the ship?

 

[Goldeelox9]

Carrey don't stress out. If you can not get them head to Rockin Bar D soon as we get on the ship and make them then. They only release 1/2 of the reservations online, the other half they hold until you get there!

carryw for my Fe gift I need first and last initial,favorite color, favorite Disney character and the standard room number etc. I don't think I have that information from you yet Daisy 14.

[w-family]

Getting closer!! Registered all the kids for the Club/Lab and filled out the paperwork for passprts on-line.

DH ordered our FE last night on E-Bay (I can do many things, but crafty things is not one of them - I fully recognize my limitations!!! LOL)

I am getting so excited!

 

[ddpaints]

Uh oh we didn't register Logan for the clubs yet. We stayed up and did all of our excursions the other night but never thought about the clubs. Where do you do that?

You can go right to the www.Disneycruise.com log in and put your reservation # with DOB and go to My Cruise Plans and you should be able to register Logan.

Fun Fun Fun!!
