June 25, 2012 - WONDERful 7 night Alaskan cruise

[DCLShel]

That is awesome - thank you so much!

I'm Anna (the mom)
My husband is Jim
And my Beautygirls (daughters):

Brighid - 20
Eilis - 11
Granuaile - 7

I would LOVE to join the FE group! Can you clue me in on the details? I know I have to find a FE to hang on my fish, but beyond that, I need a tutorial ;-)

Anna-

Check post #138 on this thread. There's a link posted there about Fish Extenders.

If you're crafty, you can make your own. If not, you can purchase one. I have ordered 3 from gradysmommy on EBay and love her work. Just search "Disney Fish Extenders." I think Etsy also makes them.

I will add your family to the FE group! Its alot of fun and adds a little pixie dust to the cruise~

Welcome aboard! The FE is a great way to add a little more magic to the trip. Read up on the links DCLShel suggested and you'll be in the know. I bought my FE from Ebay. I'm not crafty.

 

[beautygirlsmom]

Thanks, guys! This makes it even more exciting! We've added some fun things to do on the trip out and the trip back, but I just can't wait to see gorgeous Alaska!

In one month, we will be in Seattle! I'm so excited for this cruise. My free upgrade call from Disney hasn't come yet, but I'm not giving up hope! Since it sounds like the ship isn't full, I'll upgrade at the port if possible.

We leave for Seattle 4 weeks from tomorrow! I still have some planning to do for our time in Seattle.

I checked DCL's website earlier this week and there still seems to be lots of verandah rooms available. I keep thinking about upgrading at the port but I'm not sure. There's a thread discussing if previous Alaska cruisers would get verandah again. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2930782

One poster said they liked being on Deck 10 because of the view from both sides of the ship. I guess it'll just come down to price.

 

[beautygirlsmom]

It never mattered to me when we first started cruising whether or not we had a balcony. Then I went on a long cruise with kids, and two of them got sick. I couldn't take them off the ship or out on deck, so having the verandah saved my sanity! I was able to at least get some fresh air and see some of the beautiful Caribbean from my verandah.

Then last year, I got kidney stones on a cruise. They put me on pain medicine on the ship, and I was so tired, I ended up spending much of the cruise on the ship. Thank goodness for my balcony!

BTW - best place on the planet for Mom to get sick? Disney cruise. I never had to worry a minute about my kids. Their dad got them up and dressed in the morning, and they could not have cared less if they saw us the rest of the day! Love the Disney kids programs!

Now I want a balcony even more.

With the cruise less than a month away, I think we should do a "last call" for signing up for the FE group. If you wish to participate and you have not signed up yet, please post your information by Monday, June 4th and I will add you to the group. A list of participants is on the first post of this thread. Thanks!

I think I forgot to give you my stateroom number - although I wasn't sure you wanted it just yet! But we're in 8518 - I get all excited just thinking about this trip!

Do we have a final FE list yet?

DS is going to be gone to NYC for his church youth group pilgrimage, and I will have time to work on the FE's.

Also, does anyone have any suggestions on good DISigners for cruise magnets?

I contacted someone a couple of weeks ago, but haven't heard anything back.

The FE list is on the first post.

I have requested magnet designs from Shadowryter, Milliepie and ****** in the past; however, Jodak is no longer on the boards. He does have his own website and is on Facebook. I'm not sure if Milliepie is designing right now either.

It usually takes a little bit to get your request filled since the DISigners receive so many requests. Are you sure you didn't miss it? That has happened to me before. Double check the thread and make sure you didn't miss the post with your request in it.

 

[Mean Queen]

How sad that Jodak (spelled wrong because it stars out for some reason?) isn't on here anymore. I loved his stuff. I just got a nice design from OrcaPotter and it was a quick turn around.

 

[tripsmom]

Has anyone called to find out which movies will be showing while we are cruising? I am planning on doing that in the next few days but thought I'd check to see if anyone had already done it!
Thanks!

 

[beautygirlsmom]

I hadn't even thought about it, but Brave comes out the weekend before the cruise!!!

I don't usually call until closer to the cruise but I'm also excited to see Brave on board.

 

[tripsmom]

We are also very excited about seeing Brave on the ship. I have triplets and they are pumped about having triplets in the movie!

 

[DCLShel]

I'm hoping Brave is onboard as well! However, DD says she doesn't want to go see it. Where did I go wrong?! Haha!

I did see on another thread that Avengers 3D is in the WDW Theater one night. DH is super excited about that.

 

[beautygirlsmom]

The Avengers, too? I hope there aren't too many good movies - I'll miss Alaska!
