May 2, 2009~~~Magical MAYniacs!~~~ 7 day Western....Updated, April 3,2009!!

Ok....so as I see it we have a few things to think about. I think it is VERY important to make sure that everyone in this thread is included and that no one feels left out or left behind because they haven't been on the thread for awhile. It would be nice if everyone on the thread could give their input, so I am posting this here and then on the first page of the thread ( I will continue to post important info etc. on the first post in case it is difficult to find in the thread, especially as it grows) so that everyone can vote or have input etc.

Toribelle: would you be able to keep track of the votes for us? Once July 29th has come and gone or the majority of people have voted, perhaps you could post that? (Toribelle agreed to keep track for us)

Fish Extender Info: (provided to us by Tazgirl1981)

Here is a link on the Fish Extender info

And what you do is each member that decides to participate in the Exchange Buys or makes one of these and has them hung by their stateroom door. Then Everyone gets or makes gifts or brings something special for each person participating in the exchange. You dont have to give much, it isnt to break the bank so to speak. But its something fun and its neat coming back to your room and having a gift or two waiting for you

On the other meet that I am on, They made a list of who all is participating and then their stateroom Numbers and AGE and/or occassion of who all is traveling (in case you want to do something related for gifts) and Each person gets a gift for everyone (whatever you want).

You can assign people to give their gifts on certain days if you want everyone to get a gift each day or if you like or it can be a free for all (meaning you can give them out whenever you want to during the cruise). But each person is supposed to get a gift Also you can either just get gifts for certain ones or you can get gifts for everyone thats participating (depends on what the rules are going to be) for the cruise meet that I am on for October, You must bring something for everyone on the list...about 16 people so far participating on that one. But not every cruiser participates or has to, just whomever would like to
 
Guess where we were yesterday? Disneyland! We live in San Diego & were planning to take the kids to Legoland (yawn), which is about 30 minutes North of us. But both kids fell asleep in the car on the way there, so we decided to let them sleep & drove to Disney instead! We bought Southern CA annual passes so now we have to go back at least 1ce or 2ce more to make it worth the extra cost.

It was so fun! DD (3) rode her first roller coaster - in Mickey's Toon Town & didn't even get too scared. We rode Pirates as a family & I had to hold DD's ears & DS (5 mos) got splashed in the face at the drop but everyone rallied & DD was singing, "Yo, ho, yo, ho a pirate's life for me!" when we got off the ride. :cheer2:

Wow what an awesome surprise!!!! It sounds like you all had a magical time :wizard:

We are so looking forward to taking Chase to DL in Oct. The only bad thing is I just found out that Pirates will be down while we are there :sad1: I was SO looking forward to taking him on it. I guess we will just need to find a way to go after the cruise next year.

:banana:
 

Love the new name! :thumbsup2 Hello Magical Mayniacs! :sail:

DD and I would also like to do the Fish Extender. Don't know about DBestF, though, so just put us down for 2 right now.

:upsidedow (that's for the kind of day this is, lol)
 
Welcome, Magical MAYniacs. Now we can all have some fun at making our pictures. WE also half to start finding gifts to put in the fish extenders. WE still have time though. Oh my, this is gonna be fun.
:hourglass :tinker:
 
Hey all, I just heard from my wonderful travel agent. My computer crashed in the spring and I'd lost the booking, so I couldn't remember which stateroom we had.

We're in 6634 - one of the secret verandah rooms. (maybe I should borrow and post a friend's copy of the "verandah rights" on my door:
"You have the right to be on the verandah. You have the right to the beverage of your choice on the verandah. If you do not choose a beverage, one will be chosen for you....");)

Hello MAGICAL MAYNIACS! :cool1:

I feel as though I've been away for so long.

Has a time and location for our meet been decided on yet?



Pirate at Heart, when I saw the list of folks, I immediately saw your DD's name on it. It's nice to know there's another parent with the same worries. I do hope she and Emilie hit it off, which will make the cruise much more fun for both of them. I know Emilie worries about finding a friend on the cruise.

Courtney would love to have a friend to hang-out with as well. Does your DD e-mail? Or perhaps they could PM each other and get acquainted? We are in room #6598, not to far from you!

Can we come to the veranda party too? I'll bring Bahama Mama's and Mickey Bar's to share!

Hi Everyone
I'm still in Las Vegas. DW flew home this morning because I started my conference today. This was DW's first time in Sin City and she ended up having a good time. At first, I think she was a little overwhelmed.

We saw some good shows:

1) La Reve: A Cirque Du Soleil - like show, similar to "O" in that it takes place in the water. We enjoyed this the best.
2) Mac King: Family style entertainment (a little magic and comedy). Not great but not bad. It's probably one of the better afternoon shows, however.
3) Mystere: We heard this was the best Cirque show, but we were slightly bored after about 30 minutes. I don't know if it was because we were tired (we had hiked a hard trail that afternoon) or because we compared it to La Reve or because we compared it to La Nouba (in Orlando). We figured that people who had never been to Cirque du Soleil would probably enjoy the show.
4) Carrot Top: Very funny. We didn't laugh at every gag, but some jokes were knee-slappers. A few hard laughs qualifies this show as a recommend.
5) Phantom: Very good. If you are a Broadway enthusiast, you may find fault in this 'abbreviated' version. Nonetheless, DW and I love the music and therefore we enjoyed the show.

So that's it for now.
 
:lmao: That was funny Pink Elephans :thumbsup2 We have a verandah as well so we will have to share in the Verandah rules :rotfl:

Hey!!!! We don't have a verandah, hence me wanting to join in on the verandah party!!!! We can make sure we have the beverage!!!:goodvibes
 
I don't think that everyone voted on this, but I would think that 2:30 in the Promenade lounge (hope I have the name of the lounge right:lmao: ) would work, and again, we should only count on nothing more than 1/2 hour and then what happens....well....happens!
