May 26, 2007 (5/26/07) "First Magical Med Cruise!!" (The M&M's!)

[misseulalie]

Will you post the link to the thread here so we can all keep up?

We can't wait!

Are you recommending I open it?

I will have my laptop with me as DH and I have to check daily emails (work) and keep in touch with family.

I'll start it, if nobody beats me to it...

And anybody who came to the Building got invited.

Is that another way for saying he's hot? Happily married mother of 4, but you can't help but notice....

There are not many blank Cabin Numbers.

Hey everyone, I was just going through the most current list that Jen prepared (NejTheLion). There are still a few without cabin numbers. These are important if you want to receive gifts from those giving gifts and distributing invitations. I don't want to name names, but I'll name DISnames

Ksmihein,

Just finally got the cabin number from the last party in our group~sorry it took so long! They are in 5127. I also have changed all of us to the late seating for dinner. Thanks!

Just getting caught up on this thread. We're in packing mode here as we leave for WDW on Monday and the repo on Saturday. Will post while on board the repo, but have a great trip over everyone.

Sue, glad to hear the surgery was small and good. Wow, the Thunderbirds - love them!

Ok, I'm trying to think of a nice, polite way to say 'JEALOUS!' Seriously, have a wonderful and safe trip.....Enjoy yourselves and don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Good morning everyone - another day closer to cruising!!

Here is a wrap up on the beach volleyball tournament. Matt lost his first match yesterday to a higher ranked team. He then won his second match - again against a higher rank team. And he finished the tournament with a lose in his third match - again against a higher ranked team. So he finished in 7th place. He was very happy because this is his best finish ever. He also picked up a sponsor to help pay travel costs for the rest of the season - so that is huge!

Thanks for all the positive comments.

Have a question for everyone? On our last cruise we dressed up on pirate night and it really made the night more fun for us. With so much on my packing list, I am trying hard to consolidate. The kids are bringing pirates 3 t-shirts since the movie is coming out that weekend. Can we just wear pirate t-shirts and jeans to dinner or I am going to be frowned upon? Just finding ways to cut down and with 5 people cutting back on pirates clothes would be great. But I still want to be in the spirit of the pirate night.

 

[Disneynut64]

We always just wear pirate tshirts and jeans and so do many other people cindy

Sounds like a great idea...

Tried to post yesterday but my Internet Explorer crashed and I was too tired to try again.

So I shopped till I dropped on Saturday, again. I had to pick-up my new glasses and contacts that came in and the next thing I new it was going for 8 pm. Found some great deals - Burlington Coat Factory - v-neck t-shirts for $6. I also hit Walgreens to get some things I was missing still (alarm clock, small bottle of contact solution).

BTW - during my shopping I came across something to pass out to everyone... How does this work? This is my first cruise meeting up with DIS people. Do you leave a note with the gift? Do you normally use fish mail? Etc. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

I almost got some Euros, but ouch. I think I am going to wait and see what the exchange rate does over the next week. Yes, I am hopeful. I did find out from my banks what I will be charged for use of ATM's overseas.
WAMU - 1% up to $500 (USD) daily
BofA - 1% up to $500 (USD) daily but can be raised to $1500 (USD) PLUS $5 International Transaction fee (unless you use PNB Paribas in France that they have an agreement with).

B2B's: Safe travels. I can't wait to hear about the trip across the Atlantic. I will also be watching for the "Live from the Atlantic" thread to start. Hopefully Disney will spill some stuff to you that they have planned for the Med Cruises. Yes, surprises are nice, but I like to be prepared for everything.

Only 18 days till I leave. I can't believe it is almost here!

 

[Hygiene99]

The exchange currently is $1.36 for €1, respecitvely €.74 for $1.

Would print out the Guest list.
Some folks will have fish extenders.
I would leave, some sort of who they are from...
so you can be thanked later..

I've seen it done both ways. Some people give them out at the dismeet. Others put the items in the fish extenders. Some people put their names on the items. Others don't. It's kind of up to you.

In this case, since we really won't have a first day dismeet, it might be better to put them in fish extenders. But you could also give them out at the toga party.

I found out from my Wells Fargo account that I could increase my daily ATM withdraws. They can increase it to whatever you want. I bumped mine to $1,000 per day. She did say that Sat. & Sun. counted towards Friday, so you'd have to wait until Monday for the next withdraw.
OMG...Deja Vu....Did I already tell everyone this?

If I did, sorry, I'm such a Dory.

We're not having a first day DIS meet???

We should, maybe everyone who will be onboard can meet during the sailaway party.

The sailaway party is at 9pm. Everyone should be onboard but late diners will be eating.
