Mar. 19, 2009 Wonder: Aye, But We're Loved by Our Mummies and Dads

[MollyMcDaniel]

Stephanie,

We will be at WDW from Sun until Th. but we are taking the bus or whatever transportation the are providing us. Is our little group thinking of wearing something to identify us--a button, shirt or something?

If you are taking the transfers offered through DCL, then the bus will be picking you up at SSR at 12:45pm.....at least that is what I was told when we were originally booked at SSR. I thought this was kind of on the late side. We get an hour earlier pickup at VWL.

Also, I love the door magnets.

 

[Out to Sea Lee]

Here are my first two attempts at door magnet designs. Let me know if you think I should tweak them any or if you have a different suggestion altogether. I think it would be cool to have an "official" graphic for our Disney Cruise meet!

PS: In researching the Yo Ho lyrics, I learned that it's "Mommies" rather than "Mummies" as I'd previously thought. How embarrassing for this former Cast Member!

Great job on the door magnets!! I personally favor the one on the left, but I'm not hard to please!! When ever it's decided I'll PM you with my email address.

Thank everyone for your kind words about my pictures!!!

Someone asked about dressing up for dinner on the "dressy night." The guys in my crew will not be wearing a suit. I'll probably just put dress shirts with dress pants, maybe a tie?? My daugther and I will wear a "church type" dress. You will see a little bit of everything, from t-shirts to suits.

I'm getting so excited!! I cannot wait until the assign our room numbers to the ones of us that booked GTY. I keep on checking everyday, just in case. With the cruise being sold out, maybe the will start assigning a little early?? Wishful thinking!!

Has anyone decided if they are going to do the whole fish extender gift thing?? I bought my stuff to make me one, just to have it. Since we will only be on the boat for such a short time, I understand everyone not wanting to spend to much time running around the ship looking for everyone elses rooms!! It would also be fun to get stuff from other people!!

There are a lot of 1st time cruisers on here....you guys are going to love it.

 

[Aunt Stepody]

Okay, so we've had a little change of plans. We've decided not to do the dolphin excursion afterall. We think we just really want to enjoy the ship, since this is our first cruise. With the same money we were going to spend for the excursion, we are now going to play at Universal for 4 days before we cruise. WooHoo!

Sorry Molly, I should've known better than to try something new so late at night! I'll change it!

 

[chrisann]

I just realized that she already did a tally of fellow cruisers!! Whoops!(Mental note to self, don't add any posts late at night!!)

 

[MollyMcDaniel]

Sorry Molly, I should've known better than to try something new so late at night! I'll change it!

All is forgiven! I don't have a countdown....and when I saw yours I was shocked....only 48 days left!!! My shorts are a little on the tight side....I need to lay off desserts until we leave. We are also doing the deluxe dining plan at the parks....we will be nice and plump when we board!

 

[ksoehrlein]

Thanks for tallying up all our cruisers, Chrisann and Stephanie! I'm going to try to add it to post one. I think only the OP (that's me!) can do so.

Please PM me with your e-mail addy if you'd like to print your own magnet. From reading though the cruise door magnet thread, it seems there are 2 schools of thought on how to make these: (1) print directly onto ink jet magnet paper or (2) print on regular paper, laminate if desired, and adhere the page to a magnetic backing. I'm going to shop for the ink jet magnet paper... I think I saw it at Staples but I'm not sure if that's the kind that the cruise door magnet people recommended.

 

[Txgirl1]

I never knew this was an option. How cool that we can switch!

I dug around and found it under User CP. Click on "Edit Options" and then scroll down to "Thread Display Options." Thread line up is the second box, "Thread Display Mode" and you'll want to use the drop-down menu to get back to "Linear -- Oldest First."

Thank you. I finally figured it out----by mistake. lol.

Oh, I'd be happy printing my own magnet. Thank you for the offer.

I think I'm not able to post any images or countdown doo-hickeys. I see that on the bottom of my page. Not sure what the magic number is for that

I am hoping to snorkel at the Blue Lagoon in Nassau when we go on our dolphin encounter. Then, I am also planning to go at Castaway Cay. No particular scheduled times. Maybe we can get several in our group together and do our own little snorkel excursion at CC. I would like to buy everyone in my family our own snorkel and mask before we go. Oh...and a head-to-toe wet suit so we won't be too cold. Hee Hee

I bought snorkel sets for us today at Target. They were about $20.00 and the adult ones come with a mesh bag.

Wet suits sounds good. I really hope the water is ok because I don't want to lug those snorkel sets across the country to not even use them.

Molly,

I guess I need to check that. I don't know where SSR is and are we suppose to go there from the Poly? (where we are staying) geez. I need to get back into Disney mode now that dd's bday stuff is over.

Kim did a good job on the magnets!

Well, this will be mine and dh's 2nd cruise and dd's first cruise. I'm having her watch Disney movies we haven't watched in a long while to get her re-familiar with all the characters.

 

[Txgirl1]

I was wondering if anyone would seriously like to do the FE's from this meet? I'm keeping my options open but if there are several takers I need to get my FE made. (I've looked and looked on this board but cannot seem to find anyone to make one) (although I've found a bevy of talented people to do custom work for the magnets/tee shirts. yay)

I've been buying up stuff for FE's....just in case....and I need to know whether or not to stop.

Also, who here is going to dress up on pirates nite?? (we do have one, don't we?) dd has stuff to wear and I'm looking for a shirt right now for dh. I bought myself a shirt, belt and skirt, just in case...oh and bandanas, a hat, earrings....I am still looking for parrots though.

I think pirates nite would be fun but I'd hate to be the only people dressed up.

[chrissyd1]

We are flying down.

I have never been to Universal and was wondering if anyone can tell me if it is good idea or not. My Children are 5 & 1. I know that I can do tons of stuff at Disney with the baby, but what about at Universal???

 

[chrisann]

As much as I would love to do the FE, I don't think I'll have time to make anything up. I've been picking up things for the kids to give out to friends they meet on the boat at the end of the cruise, but that's about it.

I bought a cute little Jack Sparrow set for each of them but that's about as far as we're going to go I think.

I'm glad you found some snorkels/masks. Which Target did you go to? I went to the one in Mansfield today and the didn't have any.
