June 22, 2010 - 5-night to Key West

[VegasPixie]

We got all of our paperwork the other day. Super excited now. Put up our count down calendar at about day 48 out. DD is loving every minute of it. I am all for doing the FE, they sound like they are so much fun for everyone.

PM me with your info if you'd like to do the FE....we have 4 families so far, a total of 20 people!

48 days? My countdown calendar at work is at 30 days as of today, but that's 30 days from my last day of work...still I think we're only about 35 days out from the cruise!

We got our cruise docs a few days ago too I agree about the gulf thing being a disaster, how awful, imagine what it will be like for those living on the gulf!
Brooklynfam we loved the dolphin encounter in nassau. DH and DS participated and I was a spectator and took pictures. There's also a pirate museum in Nassau that's pretty tame but interesting. We're doing the aquaventure at Atlantis this time and can't wait! How will I make these 30 or so days go by faster?????

Here's another pic. The huge portholes by animators palate are so much fun!

The oil spill is so bad for the Ocean! I cannot believe how bad this is! Disney told us that if the oil reaches Port Canaveral we will have issues but they did not say what exactly would happen.

I would not mind 2 stops at Castaway Cay! That would be awesome! This is our first Disney Cruise and my families first cruise! I wish we had more time at Castaway Cay!

Oh I LOVE the pictures! It makes me want to go even more!!!

DW, DS(13), and I will be with y'all in June. Booked this cruise before leaving the ship last year. Have been looking forward to it since. My son can't wait to try the teen lounge as he only recently turned 13. Just got the luggage tags and my folks already want to put them on the bags. I spent a few years in the U.S. Navy and just as the ship left the harbor the order would be given "Shift the colors; underway". I can't wait until we are "underway".

Hi everyone. We're getting close now! My husband volunteered to order us DIS wristbands for us to wear on the cruise so we can easily identify our fellow DIS'ers. They'll be lime green (of course!) and will have Cruisin with the DIS'ers! engraved in Disney font in black on them. They'll also glow in the dark!
He figures $2 each will cover the cost to order them. If you're interested PM me with your name, address and number of wristbands wanted and I'll PM you our address for you to send a check. He'll mail them to you before the trip so you can wear them at the port.
Someone did this for us last year and it was nice when going around the ship to see them on people you know you've "chatted" with on the boards.
Sound good?

Sounds like we will have a blast! LJM23 I will send you a PM! Also if you have Paypal we can send money through them...I can do which ever is best for you! Thanks for setting this up!

 

[ljm23]

Yes, I do have paypal, great idea! My paypal id is ljm23@yahoo.com ( I no longer use that email but don't know how to change it in paypal).
Thanks!

 

[VegasPixie]

My DD asked us today if we go in the morning. We have the count down on the wall, but she forgot that there was more on the other wall on the otherside. I can not believe that we started this process just under a year ago and it will be here in 30 day.

Is there a group what are doing the Fish Extenders. I am so in, and will to organize this for everyone. Just drop me a PM if you want to do.

My DS is turning 11 on the 25th - Nassau day. We will definately stop by at the pool 3 to introduce ourselves and the kids. This is our 9th Disney Cruise, but the first time that my DD and DS will not be in the same group (DD has now moved up to teen club) so I think it will be good for him to meet a few friends right off the bat. Won't hurt for my DD either.

Excellent picture. We are doing a dolphin swim in Nassau for my son's birthday. I have been a lurker on the DIS boards for many years but have never created an ID before. I am trying to PM you my info for wristbands, but I have to get up to 10 posts before I can do that, so I am going to try to post away to get to my quota
