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

[ucancallmetink]

Yeah, um, where do I sign up for the wine party in Sessions?!

And does anyone else think that would be an ideal locale/meet-up for the ornament exchange? I'd be happy to organize the ornament exchange if nobody else has volunteered to do so already. I might need some more info, though, on how to go about "booking Sessions."

Hi All!

I am finally going to jump on board here. We have been signed up for this cruise since day 1. I’ve been lurking on this thread for a while now so I thought it was time to join in.

Our Party Includes:
Me - LeiLani
DD – Alyssa (14)
Cabin 8048

DD – Brittany (21)
DDBF – David (22)
Cabin 5126

DD’s boyfriend’s family
Lee
Angie
Cabin 8032

My Parents
Chuck
Nell
Cabin 6084
I have been on 8 Disney cruises including a 2007 Med cruise and the 2004 - 10 day Christmas cruise. As a matter of fact my daughter met her boyfriend on the 2004 cruise. He lived in Virginia and she lived in Iowa so they had a long distance relationship during high school. Now they both go to college in Virginia. Both of the families are big Disney fans and we have gone to WDW several times and on several cruises. We loved the Christmas cruise in 2004 so when DCL put this one out there we decided to book it.

My DD, Alyssa, would love to meet up with other teens so if your teenager is interested let me know and maybe they can hook-up on face book or by email.

I'm in for the FE and for any DIS-meets. I'm the only DIS'er in our party so I don't know if any of the others will want to join in.

Welcome Aboard. I also have a teenager. She is 15. She would love to connect with other teens before the cruise. PM if you are interested.

 

[IceSk8ersMom]

We will be flying in on the 17th and staying at the Hyatt. We would love to meet up with any DISers staying at the Hyatt.

We will also be extending our trip and staying at WDW from the 29th to Jan 2.

We are staying at the Hyatt too. Our flight lands at 6 PM. We need to get the DISers, who are staying at the Hyatt, together for a pool party.
What time do you fly in?

I have to agree with you, I'm up for a wine party anywhere.

Sessions would probably be a great place for the ornament exchange but remember it is adults only even for a special event. I didn't book it last time, so I'm not really sure how to go about booking it, but I can try to find out if this is the place we would like to hold an event.

Thanks for the welcome. I sent you a PM.

Part of our party gets in around 11am. DD and I arrive at 2pm. A pool party sounds like a great idea. Maybe we could also have a little cocktail hour that night.

I would love to do FE. Who do I need to PM about this?

I have a FE, but I love the idea of hanging a christmas stocking instead. I might do that.

Caryn + Iron + Interfacing =

Step 1 almost done on Fish Extender, and no people or pets harmed, but eeeeeesh!

[BBQMommy]

Going to add some buttons to the top to help secure the fold-over for the dowel. Will likely just add "BBQMommy" somehow at the top -- and DONE! Between materials costs and my 4 hours time, the ones on ETSY and EBAY are not expensive at all

Two cottons are the print and navy, with navy binding.

Now I can mow the lawn.

 

[HFC1969]

That looks outstanding..

Ours will be the one with duct tape and zip ties

115

DS & DD are now in school

Our trip to WDW is getting close.

 

[BBQMommy]

Thank you Glad there wasn't a fly on the wall watching. The interfacing was not all in one piece and they kept slipping EVERYWHERE! If anyone has anything heavier than a feather, we might be in trouble

Anybody else see the Disney Cruise Line exclusive offer for Facebook fans? They're offering a $100 onboard credit, good only for the 11 nt. holiday cruise. Wonder what that says about their projected bookings for our sailing...

I also noticed that Cat 12 GTY rooms are still available...but only for parties of 3.

 

[BBQMommy]

It's been a couple days since I checked, but there were a few Cat 7/Navs still available, and I think those only accomodate 3. Maybe it is to sell those?

I saw the $100 OBC offer and it seemed kind of silly. Maybe it will push someone over the edge to book, but $100 OBC isn't much of an incentive for an 11-night cruise. Last Christmas when they had trouble filling the boat, they emailed Kids Sail Free pin codes to fill cabins. That's a MUCH better deal than $100 OBC. So, it tells me they'd like to generate some new bookings, but if they were looking to fill a lot of cabins, they'd have to get more serious than just $100!!! Of course, it only applies to new bookings and interestingly, it says Cats 4A-11C only, but our sailing doesn't use the new categories. I'd be curious if they'd let you book it with a Cat 12 since that's the new 11C.

PM tinksmischief. She has kindly agreed to organized the FE for us. I am glad that you are participating because FE is so much fun

Good for you! Cannot wait to see the finish project. I ordered mine from EBAY because I am not creative. I admire your creativity

Hi Everyone! Welcome to the newcomers! Can't wait to meet all of you!

I'm happy to organize the DISmeet and will get started on that with DCL. I think we had agreed to combine the ornament exchange, so DVC if you'd like to help me with that, that would be Great!

I am in desperate need of a vacation - this summer has been a real doozy at work. Can't wait to get on the plane for that 24 hour trip to FL on Dec. 8!!!!!

 

[IrishCowboy]

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list

I would love to help! Do we want to hold it is Sessions? (If we can reserve it) I have to call Concierge today so I will ask them if we can do this and if so, how do we go about it. I'm also going to see if they can confirm dinning rotations. I'll let you know what I find out.

First day of school for the kiddo so I have to run but I'll check back in later.

Everyone have a great day!
