Hopefully I will be able to make the dis meet. Not sure if the rest of my group will make it to the met We just did our final payment so we are in.
It is me, DH, my twin girls who are 4 1/2 and my MIL. Here is a picture of us from our disney trip in August.

This will be our first disney cruise but my girls 2nd cruise.

Trying the picture again... I'm usually pretty computer literate, so I'm bound and determined to master this.

I will keep a list of families participating in the FE (fish extender) exchange on this page. I should be able to edit it regularly. I will PM all the participants the personalized info as we approach the sailing date.

If you would like to participate please PM me or post your information on the thread. FE exchange is lots of fun when several families participate. Also, if you already contacted me, but don't see your name, please let me know. I don't get to check the boards everyday, and I would hate to miss someones message.

To all of the stowaways, captains, pirates, buccaneers, prince charmings, and princesses (not to mention DHs,DWs,DSs, and DDs) we will be cruising with....


Happy Halloween

 

[hgon76]

Happy Halloween. Only 2 big holidays left til we cruise!!! I'm off to the Disney Store and other stores in hopes of finding some clearance princess dresses and pirate gear!

 

[hgon76]

Found a cute little pirate costume for $7 at walmart for DD. Also hit the Disney store and picked up a cute Belle tiara for $4 and some snow white shoes to go with her snow white dress for $7. Very excited to get that stuff done. DH and DS are just going to wear some t-shirts w/ a rib cage on them and maybe a skull cap & eye patch. So I've gotten my pirate night shopping done. It's starting to feel like it's getting closer to vacation time.

 

[shellcruiser]

I did the same thing... found myself a "lady" (yes I use the word loosly) pirate dress. Elizabeth (DD-11) was a pirate for Halloween and Kari can use the outfit from our last cruise. Last time DH went pretty casual...thinking of picking up a hat for him... Wonder if they will still be available when it all goes to 75% off???

 

[hgon76]

just ordered a couple of cute dresses from Kohls.com. I've never ordered clothing online before so this should be interesting. Found a Palo Brunch dress and a Formal night dress. God I hope they fit. Should we be posting on this thread or the previous thread. I figured this one was taking over the last one since many cruisers on that one have had to xl their cruise. 76 days and counting

 

[ljcrochet]

I figured we were just moving over to this thread. Did some one post in the index thread?

I have not thought about what we are going to wear. I'm up about 5-10 pounds since my last cruise so the formal dresses that I wear on that cruise might not fit. I have no clue what my girls are going to wear for the forum night. Guess I should start looking around for dresses for them. I don't think they have any formalish dress that fit, unless they wear their princess costumes.

 

[swimchick1984]

Hello everyone,

I think I introduced myself last time

This is myself and my husband. We will be joining you on the cruise. I am down for the DISMEET I will have to ask the husband if he will want to come. i have feeling he may just want to go do his own thing.

Was thinking of buying this dress for formal night, do you think that it's to formal?

Oh I would also love to do fish extenders, it's just me and DH I am 25 and he is 31.

Oh, LOVE the dress! I don't think it's too formal. Last year I wore a long evening gown. This year I'm going w/a "tea length" dress. There were a variety of different styles on formal night.

 

[swimchick1984]

Ok that dress it is . I am so excited. However, I have soooooo much going on between now and the cruise. I am making and wrapping presents that have to be sent by the end of November.

Thats because my unit is sending me to Japan the first two weeks of december. If I have a day off and find myself in Tokyo I may just wander off to Tokyo Disneyland.

Then anywhere from 1-6 days after I get back from japan is the best day of the whole entire year. What day might you ask is that???? The day DH is back from Iraq. Yep Cloud 9 day.

Then its like 2 short weeks and we will be on our way to Disney. I'm so excited. (Hmm I just watched Transformers 2 and had a flash of bumblebee in my head when I typed that)

A moderator has been informed of the need to combine the two threads and redirect to this one, just hasn't happened yet.


---So, did our booking tonight! We got the Sunday Palo brunch, Thursday Palo dinner, a Cabana massage for two, as well as a second massage for DH on day one. Especially excited about getting the Cabana massage. There were two bookings left and I snagged one of them!

I also ordered a 60s inspired black tea length that I thought would be great for formal night. It's straight out of mad-men, crinoline and all. I just hope that when the website says size 12, it's my size 12 and not a 12 that's actually an 8 .

For those talking about trying to loose weight, I'm right there with you on the desire front (I too, had surgery that had me gaining a lot of weight). Not sure it will happen, but the desire is there. I'd love to have the guts to wear a two piece again.

 

[Bunless]

Found a Palo Brunch dress

What is appropriate for Palo brunch? In my head I'm picturing nice Easter dresses.

I think I need to get a checklist of what is what each night, so I am dressed as correctly (as in fun fun fun) as I can be.

.

I have messaged the moderator in hopes of linking the 2 threads. Also, tried to PM the person who started the first thread in hopes of redirecting fellow cruisers from page 1. I hope all future postings will be on this thread.

Oh I would also love to do fish extenders, it's just me and DH I am 25 and he is 31.

Great!!! I'm hoping there are some more families who are interested, but just haven't taken the leap... Come on FE's are FUN...

That is terrific!!! I guess we will not be seeing much of you two by the pool Room service is a wonderful thing...

I agree... I am actually hoping I have booked Palo on formal night, so I don't need so many dresses We have a brunch booked, and although I have never been, I'm thinking a pretty sundress is appropriate. I'm hoping to find something "islandish" , as I too can no longer wear my dresses from last cruise

 

[swimchick1984]

So after much frustration with reservations, I finally was able to book all the things that I wanted.

The only hard part is not knowing what is going on which days.

But I got a palo brunch and a palo dinner so I am excited.

Actually, I was being earnest in the fun fun fun part! I love dressing up, but don't get to nearly enough. I'm hoping that I DIDN't book Palo on formal or semi-formal night! Of course, I might still show up on cruise casual nights all dressed up--just 'cause.

So after much frustration with reservations, I finally was able to book all the things that I wanted.

I felt so bad for you when I saw that post about having problems booking, I wonder if it's because of the Dream? I ran into the same problem you were talking about a couple of times, but it didn't last.

I showed DH that video of the water coaster and he wants to go, NOW, doesn't want to wait for the actual boat to be ready.
