Magic Christmas Cruise 2010 (Dec 18th - 29th) - PART II

[Kitster]

Oh ... so it's not cool to send my DH up to Deck 9 at 6am on sea days to block off 6 chairs for the 3 of us?

Nah, ya need to make him go up there at 5AM

Nah, ya need to make him go up there at 5AM

Uh....Yah...gonna' have to say "no" on that one!

Just a reminder to anyone wishing to know which DISer's are on what excursion when.

I have created a Google spreadsheet with a list of all shore excursions and which DIS members are on what excursion.

IF you would like the link, please either post your excursion plans in this tread OR (preferably) send me a PM with your plans. Once I have added you to the list, I will send you the link to the spreadsheet. It is a locked document, so no changes can be made by anyone other than myself and no one without the link has access to it.

I have about 3 weeks until we leave for FL, so if I haven't head from you by Thanksgiving .........

We'll be the sisterhood of the DOTD

WooHoo!!! I like that idea. We should have shirts made.

I would buy a shirt from Cafe Press if we can come up with an idea. Anyone else?

What is everyone ordering from Shirley?

Not sure I want to get a tree, but what other fun things should I consider? Her note to Melanie about being a small business really touched me. I would like to support her!

And I don't want to get snacks, I find cruise food to be overwhelming as it is...too much yum.

I usually order things we can't get on the ship. We like Diet Pepsi and Diet Rite so I have her put some of those in the basket and I generally order snacks like chips or movie theater candy for around the cabin or the movies. When my daughter was younger I had her put things like sand toys, disposable camera, and a beach towel. She is pretty easy to work with and as long as she can get it, she will put it in a basket. I think there is a thread on the main board asking people what they have put in their baskets but I haven't read it yet.

So important to remember how fragile life is, and to take every opportunity to celebrate life with family. That is one of the reasons we love DCL vacations -the entire family can gather and spend quality time together (no washing dishes or grumpily going to the grocery store!) and celebrate. My 3 kids will start going off to college in the next couple of years, so each remaining vacation takes on increasing urgency...

Spent my lunch hour buying delightful FE items! SO MUCH FUN!

Happy Veteran's Day to all our Vets (including the several in my family)!

You are so correct Liz. My DD went off to college in Virgina(over a 1000 miles away) and between her schedule and ours we only get to see her a couple of times a year. It's tough, but we try to make the most of the time we get to spend with her. I haven't seen her since August but I'll be seeing her in two weeks and I can't wait. So definitely cherish the moments you have with your family.

Welcome Back Lori & Rick. Glad to hear you had a nice relaxing cruise!

Off to work on FE gifts. Be back later.

 

[Cam Fam luvs Dsny]

That means mine should be arriving soon too!

Did your docs come through Royal Mail or another delivery company? Did you need to sign for them?

Didn't expect to see docs today as there was no mail due to Federal workers being off for Remembrance Day. Arrived home to find a Fedex package containing our cruise docs!

Doing the docs dance at our house...

Me, me... I wanna be the 'drunk of the day'. Oh wait... DRINK of the Day! You know, I went on a 7 day cruise last year and didn't even KNOW there was a 'Drink of the Day!' Wow... scary.

Hi Guys. I haven't been on the boards in a LONG time. My older daughter made the soccer team and she has had practice every day since. And... I took on another position on the PTA 'cause somebuddy quit. Am I crazy or what? Oh well...

Welcome back, Rick and Lori. Hope you had a great time. We are counting down the days here. I hope next week we can start magnets. I have a magnet with mickey ears and santa hat for the door portal if anyone wants a copy let me know.

Thank you to all our wonderful military personnel who have dedicated themselves to serving our country. Including my 20 year old nephew who recently enlisted with the Air Force.

How's this?

 

[STLUCIELADY]

Our travel agent says that Disney is going to take any alcohol we try to take onboard (beer/wine/other). I didn't think that was true. Can anyone tell me?

 

[mmi]

She said they would keep it until the end of the cruise. Thought I would clarify! Anyway, I swear I saw someone with a rolling type cooler going through on our last cruise. Have the rules changed?

I have never heard of a problem as long as you bring the alcohol on board in either one of your carry on bags or a collapsible cooler with no ice. I do know of people that lost their bottles because they packed them in their luggage rather than in their carry on. You will be fine as long as you follow their rules which are pretty lenient.

Went to Zazzle to see if I could design y'all a DOTD tee--but can't beat that one

but saw these. How about some custom Castaway Cay shoes?

Those are almost the exact words I said back to them. I'm beginning to think that we are dealing with a travel agent that knows very little about her business. That rule applies to most of the other cruise lines, even some allow 2 bottles of wine per person. Thanks!

Do you think she was talking about any alcohol you buy on the trip duty free? I think that has to be held until the end of the cruise and cannot be consumed on board. I could be wrong on that, but I think that's right and could be what she is confusing with taking on board your own alcohol...

I believe that is correct most places you stop.....which is why I always get confused about when/what you can/cannot bring on. They hold any duty free liquor and return it to you when you leave.
