Closest I could find to raising hand. I don't believe we have yet.

We seem to pick opposite itineraries - in 2009 we did Western in October and in 2010 we did Eastern

SLOW MOVING!?!

Good God woman have you seen the thread for this year's Easter Magic? That thing wasn't even 10 pages long last time i looked and it is 3 weeks to Easter

I like our speed, not too fast not too slow. Not at all like our last cruise which TIGGER/POOH4 was also on. If you missed 1 day you missed at least 3 pages worth of posts

Certainly no complaints about the speed here. Last year's Bring Back Magic was way too fast for me, and I agree if you missed a day it was pages worth of reading, almost like a novel. LOL Pool Easter Magic thread members. They need some of us on there!

oops, double post!

SHHH. You are onto my bucket list to cruise with every DISser. I have a long way to go so I better get cruising a more. I can think of worse things to do.

I too like the pace of this thread. On my next cruise for June 2012 there must be over a 100 DISser's on that thread that all know each other from previous cruises. That thread started a year after this one and it is on page 114 vs 82 for ours. Captain Crash is on that cruise and he can post an entire page in a single post.
The western cruise after ours is on is only on page 4.

Hey, need a little help please. Since I'm new to this, they won't let me pm yet. Can someone tell me the name of the FB group and where the information on the FEs are? On the first post it says that page 199 and 802 will tell me, but I only see 82 posts on this thread. I guess I'm missing something. Thanks!

No need to worry about a conflict with the character breakfast and shore excusions. The character breakfast are only done on sea days. The breakfasts are assigned by your dinner dining rotations. Your character breakfast will be the next day after you are at Animators Palate and will be held in Parrot Cay. You will also be assigned a time based on whether you have main or late dining. I believe main dining has breakfast at 8am and late at 9:30am, hopefully someone else can chime in on the times.[/QUOT

Thanks for the information! Very helpful!

Stacy, the 199 is refering to post #199 and #802 and not page number. If you look at the top right corner of this post you will see a number (like this is post #1229). You will need to scroll back a few pages to get to #802 and many pages to get back to #199.

Thank you! I'll figure this Dis stuff out one day!

My daughter is 21 now and will be 22 in October (birthday in May). She will be graduating from college in May. I have her registered for the cruise right now but not sure if she will get to go. She will be working or in graduate school or who knows what at this point.

I got my cruises mixed up! We will be celebrating my daughters 21st birthday in July on our family Dream cruise...

This cruise will be with my sister and parents So my daughter won't be with us. She will be in the middle of her Sr season playing soccer for Penn State! Don't think she wants to miss that!

Works for me. Looks like Dan can cross you off his bucket list

Aw dude, go talk him into this 1!!

My bucket list is to cruise with Captain Crash, I have seen his posts and they crack me up. i may start lurking on your other cruise thread

Anyone going to MNSSHP before the cruise??? Dates are out...time to plan for one of our favorite parties of the year.

We just checked out the dates, but they're not going to work out for us to go this year.

DH & I went after our cruise last October & LOVED it! The tickets are pricey, but we thought the unique atmosphere, parade, & fireworks were well worth it.

 

[ImagineerM's Wifey]

Alrighty cruisers

The FE info is complete as far as I know it. Anything else to add please just let me know.

For deadlines I've seen 1 vote for 90 days and 1 vote for 75. Any other suggestions?

Also I've gotten a question of just how big a group do we want to have before splitting up. Right now it is a Small group spread out over 2 decks. Easy peasy. No idea how much bigger we'll get.

And last but not least I know someone mentioned wanting to know if there are any young adults/teens on the verge of 20s area. Right now there are none of those. Everybody playing as an adult is over the drinking age which is my personal definition But if you want to me post all of the ages it is not a problem for me. As far as my gift goes it won't matter if you're 20 or 90. You're stuck with it

I vote for the cut off to be 75 days out. I think that will give everyone time to get their gifts together. I know on the last cruise we went on, someone added at the last minute & DH & I had to scourer our apartment for something to give them since we had already made our gift bags.

Thanks again Maureen for doing the FE! You are awesome!

Greetings fellow Cruisers!!!

Sorry for the delayed resoponse on my last 2 posts - as i've said before, i don't get on here very often. I always enjoy reading everyone's posts & getting caught up on the happenings of our cruise!

DH & I are finally on Spring Break & heading to Florida tomorrow!
I think we've decided to spend 1 day at EPCOT taking in the Flower & Garden festival. Has anyone been to the festival yet this year?
We're also going to "the other theme park in town." DH told me i was not allowed to mention the name.
I've never been and somehow I think I'm going to be dissapointed since i'm sure it'll in no way compare to the fabulousness of WDW. But we'll see.

Anywho, looking forward to seeing the next countdown on saturday! It's getting closer!

Can this DIS group join you? A B2B sounds like fun. I heard several families did a B2B including the TA and then a 10 day med cruise. 25 straight days on the Magic.

We are on the 6/23/12 Western if you want to lurk. I am glad we booked that one on day 1 last October. We booked for $5,200 for 2A2C and now it would cost $7,500. Crash has disappeared for the last few weeks as he is all excited about his Alaskan cruise. I did get MMOUSE37 off my bucket list back on our cruise on 10/08. I want to get INKKOGNITO off my bucket list. You would think since she has been on like 85 cruises I could have come across her once.

I've been. I love all of it The Cars display is awesome. And if you're there this weekend, the Flower Power concert features Mickey Thomas of Starship. They do all of the number 1 hits & the young lady who sings Grace Slick's parts is fabulous. I think we're going Sunday to see them. It will be our 3rd year for this concert.
