June 21, 2007 (6/21/07) Cruisers Check In

I don't plan on going into Nassau. My plan was to rest, eat, rest some more, eat some more LOL. So sounds like we are on similar track. I won't do the rainforest so while you are there I will eat more <G>

I took bubbles last time but was so windy didn't work well. Also they were bubbles in a little wine like bottle so very small wand. maybe need bigger wand? Ummm another trip to store for larger container of bubbles with larger wand <G>

I had silly string for the last cruise but didn't use it. Got concerned maybe wasn't allowed. I still have two cans of that but again not sure can be used. I know DCL has paper like streamers but I didn't see silly string being used by anyone. But of course I wasn't at the sail away party but couple minutes.

Thought maybe could use silly string shooting off the deck but then learned could get in "trouble" for throwing anything off the decks. so i would imagine shooting silly string off deck 9 or 10 or even verandah would be a no no.

sure would enjoy though using the silly string but also want to abide by rules and regulations.

So will get better bubbles this for this time.

Dinner I will be casual leisure dress two nights and pirate outfit one night. On "dress" night I still will be wearing a casual leisure dress (sorta like a ankle lenght tshirt with tropical print). My pirate outfit consists of a pirate of the caribbean tshirt I found at kmart last year. red pants that i cut the pant legs shorter and made the ends like stringy. a red sash with white polka dots for sash around waist. my black disney crocs, and a bandana. So nothing fancy, but works for me <G>

Of course Minn will be dressing for dinner nightly.

luvalldisney and I decided instead of us both bring our Pal and Minnie, one would bring Pal, the other bring Minn. So I am bringing Minn. She too has a pirate outfit, and her princess dresses for dinner.

For CC swim/beach wear. During day probably shorts-tshirts, or play skirts and tops.

disneyfanri, as we get closer to travel time, maybe we can make further arrangements to meet in terminal and have lunch together after boarding.

you can email your arrival info if prefer.

luvalldisney and I will arrive around 10a of coures they won't allow ppl to board until 11:30 or later. So we board and go eat LOL. seems eating is a major pattern here <G>

Oh we are going to spend Wed night at hotel near port as easier for us to meet up and of course get to port/terminal by time we want to arrive.

Decided to snorkel at the adult beach of course weather permitting. I devised a way to have crutches with me on two ring floats. I will need the crutches to walk out in water but needed way to have them float so i can play <G> Will see if this works but at least seems like a good plan here on dry ground LOL.

ok guess i should try for some sleep tonight grrrr. although I am exhausted from running around most of today, sleeping doesn't seem to want to come easily.
 
Hi friends - just checking in....

:banana: Our countdown is amazing!!!!

luvalldisney - thanks for the great info - Alyssa is very excited about bingo - I used to play weekly (before kids) - really enjoyed it - never very successful but had alot of fun.

Eating?? really??? Lets see - our itinerary goes like this - eat...drink coffee....read....people watch....eat....rest....shop....eat!! :lmao:

Having much fun buying new clothes for the trip - may buy the green shirt w/Mickey head from Disney shipping. Still looking for something to wear for Pirate Night - thinking of a long skirt and peasant top. I told DD that once she is home from school we will shop for her.

We will venture out at Nassau only because we never been. Ever been on the glass bottom boat tour? We're thinking about that...

Luvall....tell me more about that RAinforest - I'd love to hear.

Brady - no flight info yet but I will keep you posted. We are flying in day of departure.

More later....and....:yay: we are going on a DISNEY CRUISE!!!!!
 
:cool1: My DD introduced me to the rainforest at the spa when we went on our 3 day girls getaway cruise in Feb. She had gone on the cruise with friends the year before and came home raving about it. There are numerous spa services, but the rainforest is very relaxing. The cost is small ($15 for a whole day unlimited visits) when we went. You could also book it for the 3 days, Thurs, Fri and Sat. Anyway, the rainforest has a small number of heated stone loungers to really get rid of stress. In the rainforest are also 3 different rooms: dry heat, steam heat and steam with aromoatherapy added. You can move among the rooms as you see fit and numbers allow. They also have 2 showers to cool off: one with regualar water (shapmoo and condin. on the wall ) and one with scented water (again shampoo and condin. available in the shower) My dd and I took the all day in the rainforest for Nassau day. (did not go ashore) and every 1 1/2 hours or so we would visit for about 15 min. After the first visit the STRESS was gone, but I was greedy. If you can tolerate heat, the rainforest is wonderful. We couldn't afford the higher priced massages and things even though they would have been wonderful. Since the space is limited, they may not let you in if there are too many people in the "rainforest" when you want to go, but I found it relaxing and so stress relieving. The rainforest is co-ed and only in the late afternoon (before dinner and after most returned from Nassau) did we find it crowded. By then we were interested in the aromatherapy room and washing our hair in the scented water. For me it was worth the money, and I may go ahead and book it for the entire cruise this time....Especially since only a few minutes makes me really relax, and it too is addicting.
Bingo...don't remember the cost, but it is something like 5-10 dollars a game. They ususally have 3 games during the hour bingo and one that gets the "jackpot". Don't remember how many cards you get for your money, but they had some really nice prizes. Kids can play as long as they are with an adult to accept the prizes, but I know your DD is not a kid. I am not a really good gambler, so bingo was not my thing. I do know that the trivia games also have great prizes, and there is also wine tasting and martini tasting sessions on board (DD has to be 21 to join you) They were fun, we did the wine tasting. Learned a lot!! Had a great time doing the on board stuff and never missed Nassau at all. Now, Castaway Cay was another story. Would not miss that for anything!!!:yay:
Still dancing:dance3: perhaps I will continue to dance until sailaway!!!!!
 
pirate: :jumping1: pirate: bumping to page one.......watch the ticker...we're getting closer!!!

i just can't wait to meet you both, and have the opportunity to share your excitment for your first Disney cruise. It's like reliving my excitement for my first one plus my excitement for this second one.

No wonder I am awake at 1:45a as I keep thinking ok what to take to wear, what should I take for Minnie to wear (Luvalldisney will bring Pal Mickey that way she and I both aren't bring two pals and two minnie's).

I finally got out of bed so could write down notes which is about only way for me to get brain to stop rolling around this and that. ok maybe now I can go get some sleep tonight/this morning <G>

We are so looking forward to sharing our excitement with you!!

Alyssa's fav's are Jasmine and Alladin

Having difficulty pinning down a fav for myself....lets see - Pooh and Friends, White Rabbit from Alice and of course Minnie and Mickey!!

Having a hard time finding Disney themed aparrel - any suggestions??

pirate: pirate: pirate:pirate: :beach: :boat: :sail: :sunny: ::MinnieMo ::MickeyMo
 
i totally understanding pinning down a favorite character. i have several LOL.

I found at Walmart scrub tops with Disney characters: Chip/Dale, Mickey/Minnie, Bambi, Eeyore, Pooh and Tinkerbell. I plan on wearing one of these scrubs with capri's/shorts during the day, inbetween swimsuits LOL

check disneyshopping.com for apparel. also can make some polo shirts or tshirts using iron on transfers. you make the design of whatever/whoever, print and iron on.

also check on ebay. i see lots of disney apparel on there. sizes vary but you may find something.

google disney apparal, or disney clothing who knows what you may find.

good luck. but even without Disney apparel you'll be fine and have a blast.

Last cruise I didn't have disney tops so i just wore solid or tropical polo tops and khaki or sky blue capris. whatever i take to wear it has to mix/match with everything that i am taking <G>

counting down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Marsha,

there must be something wrong with my computer....:confused3 I really really really tried to click on the box to accept financial responsibility for your dinner but it would not let me....:lmao:

Ok - that was just a silly post to see the countdown and bump the thread!
 
oh i am sure you must have just overlooked the area where you check by my name stating you are financially responsible for me too :rotfl2: :rotfl:

well another day down on countdown..... each day we get closer and closer

:dance3: :banana:
 
you be doing great job keeping us on front page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

anyone else out there going on this cruise, hope to hear from you too.

never heard back from group that said going with 13 so guess they aren't.

So as of now there will be 4 of of Diser's. We will just have to make sure DCL knows the DiS boards are represented LOL.

Maybe there are others that will pop in here before we leave.

have good day.
 
pirate: :flower3: pirate:


Bumping to watch the count go down!!


Hope everyopne is having a great weekend!!
 
bumping us up too.

can you believe its really not that far away now?

Minn got her official Pirate outfit today, and so excited to wear it for Pirate night on the cruise. Pal already has his and wore it in Jan. So Pal is a little jealous he didn't get new one but hey Minn didn't have one at all LOL.

My beach bag sitting on floor in bedroom is overflowing with stuff I keep throwing in it to take on the cruise. its a 3 night cruise but I bet I end up with as many suitcases allowed to haul Pal, Minn and my stuff. More theirs then mine though LOL.

at ya later.
 
Where do you get the clothes for Mickey and Minn?? At Build a Bear????

I have to say my pile of new clothes is growing also!! That's not a bad thing!!
 
For Pal just finding something somewhere. Build A bear clothes are way too big. although I do have a few outfits for him from there. I do a lot of pinning to make fit LOL. Found an online doll clothes store that has tshirts that fit him and Minn. Also found on there a suit that fits him ok.

Other times would find a bear or doll in store. would buy that use the clothes for Pal and throw or give away the doll/bear.

Found My Generation dolls that had boyish looking clothes and would buy just the outfits. too long for him but would fold pant legs under.

Michael's sweaters fit him ok too.

So for Pal its just hunt and find, pin when needed <G>

Minn has been easier. I got her Ariel, Cindy, Belle princess dresses from disney shopping online. The dolls were on sale and the dresses fit Minn perfert.

at target they have small build a bear outfits that fit Minn ok. WHen I first got Pal they had more clothes for boys so bought a few that fit him ok. like socceer, safari outfit. and accessories. Now I only see clothes for girls.

I bought starbucks bears off ebay just for the outfit to fit Pal or Minn.

Minn found out thru another Diser on the Pal thread that Dora the explorer life quard set fit Pal. So I went shopping for all the Dora outfits I could find. They are perfect for Minn. So far she has Dora's bedtime, party dress, ballerina, lifequard, surf girl, gardener, and on the way cowgirl, and something else.

Oh also where I get the tshirts they have knit shorts that fit both great too.
Just rec'd today another order of shorts and t's from there. I will iron on a design on t's.

so for Pal it's harder to find and usually are too big so need pinning, or i used hem tape that you iron on.

Minn has been much easier esp now that I know Dora clothes fit her and the princess dresses from disney dolls are great.

Shoes: for both baby shoes fit any size from 6 months to size 2 depending on how made, soft shoe, hard shoe etc.....

They really have more shoes than I do LOL.

I did buy at build a bear this weekend a beach chair and beach umbrella LOL. I had coupon so I only paid a couple dollars for both. Will be bringing these on June cruise. Great pic opportunity at CC <G>

ok better stop me now as I can talk about Pal and Minn a Loooonnnnnnggggg time LOL.

Just love these little kids. Guess I am reliving my childhood LOL.

another day closer HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
:cool1: Woo......woo.......just waiting for the paper work from disney since I made the reservations a week ago.......can't wait. Pal ordered MORE new clothes......he decided that he needed new pants for his captains outfit. I guess he got jealous that Minn had more clothes. May Pal only tolerates Minn....we decided it must be his sister, you know sibling rivalry and all. :rotfl2: Okay, I moved us up!!!!!!:cheer2: still doing the reservation dance but not the paper work dance yet!:dance3:
 
:woohoo: :cool1: :cheer2: closer and closer.

Minn is so excited that her beach bag sitting in bedroom is overflowing with things she wants to bring much less what I need to bring. For some reason she thinks this beach bag is hers and hers only :goodvibes

So looking forward to this cruise and just relaxing, no rushing, no stress, just sit back and do nothing but have fun.:banana:
 
Hello ladies!!

Sounds like Mick and Minn are quite the stylish duo!!!!

Can't wait to make the acquaintances!!

Got the cruise passporter in the mail yesterday.....:banana:
