It's CRUISE DAY!!!!!!!

 

[keeping quiet]

The fish extenders were so much fun. Every time we returned to the room my daughter would check her basket. She was so excited by everything. I wanted to thank everyone for all the effort you put into your goodies and for including us at the last minute.

The fish extenders were great! DS was so excited to return to the room and find presents! He carried the little rubber pirate parrot and yellow ducky everywhere!


Also, did any of you happen to videotape or take pictures of the 8:30 Golden Mickey's show? DS got chosen to be one of the dwarfs in the Snow White scene, and of course this was the one trip where I had said, "no, I won't bother lugging the video camera around".

We were at that show, but did not take any pictures or tape. That part is so cute.

I totally forgot about the meeting, so I never did meet anyone from this group, but I hope all had a great time. We sure did.

Thats cool your son was chosen to be interviewed. The woman playing Ibsen Bensen happened to know me and pulled me to be interviewed at the first show. Also Speaking of Golden Mickeys, on the three night cruise the computer system crashed with 10min to go with the first show. The second show ran without any lifts or tracks. Their background was the Mickey cut out. They did an AMAZING job and never missed a beat.

Hey disnyfan89....wasn't that cool seeing the suites and bing on the ship with noone else. Tell your mom and dad hi!!!! ( we toured the suites with you guys!!)

 

[TinkRN]

Wow, thank you all for the fish extender gifts! My kids were so excited to come back and check.
This was our first cruise and you helped to make it so special. I am kicking myself for not rebooking on board! We have already called about doing a 3 night next June. I think it will be too short, but husband thinks we should go to SSR for a few nights prior and staying Thurs to Sun would be too many points!

Again it was great to meet many of you!

We finally booked onboard for another 4-night next June. This is our first time doing that, even though this was our 4th cruise! But, we would really like to do a 7-night western, so we may move to that.

Tink RN-Did you have them price a cruise for you at the future cruise desk? I may be dreaming, but I thought that one year we inquired but didn't book, and then we got a letter in the mail shortly after we got back that said we could still book at the onboard discount. Maybe that was just a one-time thing? But, if you are using Disney Vacation Club points, does the price of the cruise matter, or is each cruise just worth a certain amount no matter when you book? Just curious, we went to the DVC presentation a couple of years ago and have thought about it.

My Mom and Dad say hi back.

On our previous two cruises we received documentation indicating a reduction on points if you booked a new cruise within 3 days of debarkation. It was about a 10% reduction same as the cash reduction. This time we didn't get one of those so I'm not sure if they are still offering that.

We rebooked on board. We already have a 7N eastern booked for Jan 09, now we have a 7N eastern for Christmas 09 as well We are way too addicted.

We had a great time meeting everyone even if our daughter wouldn't actually do anything with any of the other kids. Next time we will not be meeting in the hottest/least shaded place on the ship!!!

No, we didn't price it out on board. Just went through the travel agent to get a price. We are far to stingy with our DVC points to use them for a cruise. That would impede our other Disney trips

Thanks to everyone for the great Fish extender gifts! That was the only way I could get DDs to leave the Club. "I wonder what surprise may be waiting for us...." and they'd go running! They loved the markers, stickers, and silly putty!

DH had booked a cruise before we got on board for next July - Tortola - we checked the pricing onboard, but they said that that sailing was so popular that the prices just keep rising, so we already had the cheapest available. Unfortunately, that priced our friends right out of the market, but we'll look forward to seeing fellow DISers next year!!!!

Hope everyone had a great time. Does anyone have personal navigators they can post?

Can someone answer the following questions, please?
Was the pirate night party on Tuesday at 9:45pm?
Was the Toy Story Musical on Monday night?
