Magic Goes Texan! Eight Crazy Nights (3/1/2013 Bahamas)

Hello! I am excited to be on this cruise with my DMIL (1st cruise), and my two DDs - 12 & 10 (2nd cruise) for them. I am already on the facebook group. We would like the Texas Mickey head magnet - do I need to send $ to someone, and how much is it? We would also like to be added to the FE group. It will be here soon!

Does anyone have any ideas about what the temperatures will be the first couple of days at sea? I know the weather in Galveston the first week of March would be cold for swimming so I'm trying to get an idea of what the temps might be like as we have 2 sea days right off the bat and my girls will want to swim! I'm hoping it warms up quick out there in the gulf as we cruise south! I am also wondering about nighttime temps. Last March on the Dream I was glad I packed nice capri's and sweaters to wear to dinner. I assume the same would be best for this cruise. Starting to think about these details is so fun because that means our cruise is coming up fast! Thanks!

I cant decide if I want to make my fe or buy it. I dont have a sewing machine:(
With so many ideas I want one now. We have 60 days to go. I want to order some shirts too
You can buy cute fish extenders on etsy and lead time is about 30 days so if you are buying I would start looking. I bought one last year. I think it was stitches and bows.
 
Hello we r so excited to go on our first cruise...it is my husband, me and our to wonderful boys ( 3 and 9). we would love to be added to the fish exchange.
 
Hi - we are super excited to be going on our first cruise! Its been a goal of mine since I was young and Disney too - wahoo!!! I've learned so much from this thread already - although I still need to read all the pages.
We are a family of 4 - me, husband, son 8, daughter 5. We would like to participate in the FE and would love a magnet too. Thank you for everyone who is organizing! We can't wait to meet up!

Hi! I have added you to the list. :-)
 
Hey everyone... We have a cruise booked for later in the year, but really need it sooner. This cruise has our eyes on it.. until I looked at air fare. Where did everyone purchase their air fair, room, and ground transportation from? Is there a good place to get it? We are coming from the west coast... But the air fare through Disney is more then the cruise for 3 of us!

We are on Southwest Airlines from CO. We purchased back in Oct. and got our tickets for ~$210.00. We are renting a car one way going and coming.
 
Has anyone stayed in Galveston before and can recommend a good hotel for staying the night before the cruise and keeping the car there while we are cruising? TIA!
 
I swear I won't ask a million questions, but I do have a few!

For the day in Castaway Cay, is it easy to rent bikes or tubes when we get there or do you guys recommend booking those things ahead of time? I don't know if my kids (8 & 5) will be happy to just swim around or if they will want to get bikes/tubes. Someone mentioned that the water will be chilly in March?

Also - does anyone know if they have bikes with training wheels for younger kids? > Just found this answer that they do have bikes with training wheels, in case that helps anyone else! :-)
 
We tried to snorkel last march a week earlier than this cruise and the water was really cold and it was really windy. They had a lot of tubes the day we were there but there is no guarantee.
 
We are proud to join this group. I will be sailing with my husband and our 4 year old granddaughter. This is her first cruise. I look forward to getting to know some of you before we even leave. Wow I have a lot to plan.
 
So glad to see our number of cruisers increasing! Thank you for your responses on FE participation. Now that we know we have enough people to do a decent exchange, let's discuss deadline. Does 30 days out seem like a reasonable timeframe for closing the list?

Also, what about doing a meet while onboard? Anyone interested? With several sea days, maybe we could rustle up a card game or a group for wine tasting? Let me know what you think!

We want to participate in the FE gifts. Me DH and our Grand daughter age 4. This is my 12th cruise and I love this part of it. Let me know who is coordinating this please. I also agree that having meets on board are a great way to get started with knowing who are DIS friends are. Since our first full day is at sea, that might be a good time. There is a bar area behind the right side of Lumires. We have done several meets there and it seems like a good location. Just let us know what the group decides.
 
Hi and welcome. We have a meet scheduled for the first morning at 9:30 at the Mickey Statue. Alexis (threewilmingtonwalls) is coordinating FE exchange.
