OMG....I'm starving now....I sure wish I would have lost those 5 pounds I wanted to lose BEFORE the cruise! I'll be on a diet the rest of the summer!

Thanks for posting that link....Can't wait to try everything

Just a quick question, do you think they will give us the big "bon voyage" send off like they did last time the Magic was in LA?

Nicole.. this is going to be my first Mexican Riviera cruise so have no idea if my cell phone will work. Last year on my double dip cruise, my phone had no reception.. I have Sprint, however my mom has AT&T and her phone worked.

Hopefully I will have luck this time.

Oh I really HOPE so. If I recall correctly they had some big hoopla! But, it was also for Disneylands 50th Anniversary, so I'm not sure we'll get the same. But, one can only hope! BTW, this thread is talking about sending us off in style even if DCL doesn't do anything. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1828592

I've been following the blog. The pics of the sub are really cool, but I really didn't expect to see people standing on it.

Ok, I have piles of fish bait laid across my entire living room and for the life of my I can't figure out the best way to organize it all. I laid it all out in piles for each child (I've only gottent that far). So, should I pur each person's in a big ziplock to organize? Should I put everyone in the cabin in one Ziplock to organize? Or should I pull out from each person what I'm giving each day and organize a bag per day so we can just take off and deliver them around the ship? I kind of feel like that's the best idea, and then maybe include a note to myself who gets what. Thought I'd ask what the rest of you are doing.

Also, I never heard back if you all are putting your names on everything, just some of the things or nothing. It's a lot of tagging or writing to do, to do everything. I'd love to hear some other ideas.

I MUST start some Laundry and packing today!!!! I can't wait.......only a week to go!

I'm afraid I'm not much help! I have no names, no bags, no organization. I'll just be throwing fish bait out willy nilly!

 

[MousseauMob]

Okay guys, I'm going to throw out 3 ideas for a great group photo! Please ponder it and we can chat at our meet or through posts!

First Day - Atrium like the May 10th cruise

[/QUOTE]

Formal Night - Atrium like this great group!

Pirate Night - AARRRR like this crew of Mateys

I laid out with DW today for about an hour and boy the difference of the hot sun is remarkable.. I was used to the Florida weather as I rode my Harley quite a bit, but since I was laid up so long it was real easy to burn but I am part Cherokee and turn brown rather quikly..Not so for the poor DW who I will be putting on aloe for the next couple of days..I found I spent quite a bit on drinks last time also Nicole but hope to curb that a little bit more with bringing on my own alcohol with us and then the first port get some more if needed.. I do buy some from the duty free shop to bring home-especially something unusual-- The DW also buys some Miracle perfume every cruise ..There was only a few of my fishy items which I did put a name on the back just so I could remember who it was for other than that nothing else is labeled..We spent most of the afternoon packing again and then weighing the bags to keep them under the 50 pound limit and now we definately don't have enough room Most of it though won't come home with us from the boat..Talk later--James--aarrgghh

We made a little bags for 7 days each and then put them into a zip bag with the name and room number. That way, DH can help too It took us a bit to get the hang of it, but then we got moving



Oh I'm feeling good today

 

[traceye]

Thanks for the organization ideas, since I posted my question I made little sticky labels and adhered them onto mostly everything. It was pretty quick and easy. I figured I can use those same labels to put the kids name on if necessary. I'm not sure if you all will have names on the fish extender pockets or not and some of my items aren't the same for each kid, based on age and stuff. If I need to I can just add the name though onto my little label and you'll know who it's for. I'm almost done with all of this, should be done in the next day or 2. Of course my Oriental Trading order hasn't arrived and isnt supposed to arrive until Thursday or Friday. Only a few things in that order though.

Thanks again for the ideas.


Oh, as for the group picture, if it works out we would love to do it, but I'm not sure if we will be able to coordinate everyone's schedules based on early late seating and things like that. I'm all for trying though.

Tracey I am doing the labels on ziploc thing.
I would like to do a first day or formal pic-we are not really bringing anything for the pirate night.
Ellen I hope I don't end up with all your willy nilly fish bait Um Mary, that is NOT for you!
Just curious, what seating do people have for dinner?? What excursions are people doing?? We have the early seating and are going to the beach in Cabo and PV. My Dh and ODD are doing a cliff diver and fiesta thing in Maz when I am at the spa.
I drove my husband nuts with the " a week from now" comments today. We are working on moving the girls bedtimes back a little this week in prep. Little one still naps but I am hoping the bigger one will too on the ship.

Yes, I'd LOVE to get a group photo!!

Let's do the pool meet and formal

 

[MousseauMob]

We have early dining - 6:00pm specifically.

I think what we did on our formal picture was we met right before early dining. The picture only takes about 10 - 15 minutes if you go early before there is a crowd for the photographers. Most of the late seating families were dressed up by this time also so they could see Golden Mickeys and then go to dinner. Late seating see's the show early and then goes to dinner and Early seating see's the show later after their dinner. So if we met about 5:15, we should be able to easily get the picture done before the first dinner or show seating.

This same time is probably even easier for a first day photo, as it's casual dress and it would be after the sail away party.

A group picture on formal night and 1st day sounds good. On my last cruise we took a group picture during pirate night. We all met before the first dinner and it worked out just fine.

Sorry...I know I am late with my reply was gone most the afternoon. WHat I did was I printed labels up on the computer with a pic. of tink and my DIS username that I'm putting on everything. I read somewhere how people liked to know where things were coming from so this was my solution, plus there is a space to write names for when it is a day that I'm giving separate gifts for everyone. Days of one gift per cabin get a ziploc all together. For days that I'm giving a gift to each person I have a ziploc per cabin. Ziplocs always come in handy so I can put them to use as I empty them. Whew ...that was a mouthful hope it was also understandable

Hi I'm with Kim and I also vote for a formal night picture. We are after all the SWANKY suite swillers....think it is only fitting to take a swanky picture!

Oh james! I am also down for a pirate party meet if I can swing it with these crazy boys I'm traveling with!
