[disney911]

5 Months until our cruise!! I told the kids this weekend. They are very excited!

 

[Capt Stitch]

Under 5 months when do we start counting days

Are we doing FE? I have been looking and planning but want to start gathering.

 

[sarahsmom73]

Are we doing FE? I have been looking and planning but want to start gathering.

I hope we are doing FE's! Does one person usually become "the coordinator"?

Never been on Disney cruise but I would assume one person would need to coordinate, willing to help just never did one.

On my two cruises not Disney whomever started the thread would put a list of names who was going on the first page for easy access.

Again this is just an assumption you would create a spread sheet with cabin numbers and how many occupants. Break down the kids to male / female and their ages. Maybe if there were food allergy (kids with chocolate / peanuts)

Booked our transport to the port today from Rennselaer to the port on Yankee Trails and our night before stay! WHOO HOO!!!

 

[Kimmysmom]

I just called Yankee Trails yesterday to get the price. I thought it was a pretty good deal. Are you staying in NYC the night before or are you traveling in and staying in the Capital Region? We live in Albany so we are right around the corner from Yankee Trails.

I am more than willing to help with the planning of the FE for our cruise.. Getting real excited !!!!!!

Way past excited, Pirate costume is almost complete, now just obsessing about what to do in Nassau, big surprise only stop I need to worry about. Port Canaveral might be able to come up with something to do at Disney World Castaway Cay just relax no biggie.

The other day I had a few extra minutes went through the threads and compiled a list of screens names. First Disney cruise but I would assume we would need to do a roll call of everyone who is going and who wants to participate.

 

[Kimmysmom]

I agree about being soo excited!!! You are more planned than me. I have not even planned out pirate night.

Nassau has been hard for us to decide. I have been to Atlantis and I am not impressed. My husband would like to go to Blue Lagoon and chill out and I would like to take a tour and see the island. With our crazy lives, we should just chill out. Castaway Cay will be a chill out day and planning to get to 2 parks on the Disney day. I am going to try to ride Everest for the first time. My husband and daughter ride it like 6 times when ever we get to DIsney.

That is great that you complied a list, it will nice to get everyone interested in doing the FE. I told my dd and she is super excited.

We have three generations so we each get to pick something to do, in Nassau I want to do the horse and buggy, dd wants to do the Pirate museum, and mom will need a casino fix so we will most likely go to Crystal Palace Casino.

When we go to Disney World it will be the same thing, mom needs to see Peter Pan having a 70-something with you can be worse than a 5 year old dd wants to POTC, I just want to go to Epcot to eat /drink around the world (not enough food on the ship).

Have some time to get the FE planned, hopefully a lot of people want to participate.

Name From Family
Wildcatwmn, NY DH and DS (17)

We are driving to Rens on the 29th and taking the bus on the 30th! I think it will take lots of stress off!!

I agree cabin numbers should be via PM or email this is the list I have compiled went through the whole blog the screen names listed multiple times have stated other family members are joining them. Also have broke down some of the kids age / gender have a spreadsheet created, maybe email or pm will be a safer way to communicate.

Wow! You all are so organized! Thanks for getting this started Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help organize the FE.

I booked our hotel in NYC for the night before the cruise. I am getting so excited!

I've seen that some of you have "planned for pirate night". Um - what do you plan??

Also - has anyone done the dolphin swim in Nassau?

I not that organized just too much free time maybe boarding on a stalker Not sure what else needs to be done for the FE. I guess everyone that wants to participate can just post who is in there room and when we get closer pm cabin numbers or pm me with email address and I will email the spreadsheet. Never been on a Disney cruise so not 100% what else needs to be done. I broke done kids ages and gender makes FE gift planning a little easier. Again not stalking just read through the blogs for your group you have two rooms, room 1 you and dh, DS 10 DD 5, and room 2 is "mom, dad, and sis".

For the night we have our costumes almost done. Didn't want to pay a lot for the costumes and the ones you can buy for women are definitively not my style and they don't look Disney approved. I am loosely basing my costume on Elizabeth Swann found leggings and shirt on clearance rack and a friend is making the vest. DD has a pair of black "wide" leg capri's from her days in the band in hs, it almost looks like a skirt, she just needs to find a shirt. Mom is just a stick in the mud she is wearing black pants and a striped shirt and for Christmas I bought her Mickey Pirate ears.

Pirate night is scheduled for the day we are in Nassau so our goal is to have an easy costume to jump into when we are done touring Nassau. We have main dining so we are trying to squeeze fun in Nassau with having time to share the Pirate festivities on the ship.

Nassau we are planning on doing horse and buggy ride, Pirate Musuem, and the casino. Not sure if we will use the jitney or cab. It will be my b-day the big 5-0 so along the way we will be stopping for drinks.

Thanks so much for doing this CaptStitch! It will make it so much easier. On our last cruise (carnival) it was all done on the board and I wrote a few names and room numbers down and after missing the first night meet up, we never connected with anyone. It will be much easier to print a list and bring it. Yahooooo! We might have one of my son's friend's come along too, not sure yet. My email is wildcatwmn@aol.com.

Thanks again.

Emailed the spreadsheet email address CruisingtheMagic612@comcast.net

A list will definitively making gift deliver easier.

Our last cruise was on Carnival had a blast meet on Cruise Critic did a Yankee swap (everyone brought a $10 gift from home and then we swapped and stole gifts).

Also did the Captain's Table it was phenomenal there were 15 at the dinner all but 3 were from the blog site. It was like old friends that never met having dinner.
