getting married on deck 7

Congrats!!!!

Have you already selected the date?

 

[Adventurelover'sDH]

What a wonderful surprise that my awesome hubby made such a sweet post yesterday regarding my birthday on top of the surprises he had for me. I really love you bub!!
I love his idea of the "Love Boat" theme. New marriages and celebrations of old ones (that doesn't sound quite right but what the heck!). Hey Don, do you have any Moonie contacts? Would I still get a bonus ring?!?
I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone on the board and sharing ideas/experiences and the excitement of our trip!
As far a Fish Extenders go, you can make it yourself or you can even order them off of ebay! If you opt to make your own just google the directions for it or check the disboard for postings of dimensions and materials, that way it will fit nicely on your door.
Have a great day all and thanks again Don! I really would marry you all over again!

Well...I guess it's fairly easy to keep the spousal-unit happy!

I still don't know about the whole Moonie thing though. If I were to wear a toga-type outfit and attempt to sell flowers and other assorted trinkets to the other passengers, the crew, not to mention the other passengers, could possibly take exception...

As far as the whole Love Boat thing goes...I suppose I could go sans haircut for the next 6 months, wear REALLY big sunglasses, find a leisure suit, and borrow a pair of my daughter's shorts to complete the ensemble...

Tonya, congratulations! We talked about renewing on the cruise too (we have survived a really hellish year and felt it was time) but won't be for financial reasons. Oddly enough, we are also from the Portland area! We fly out a few days earlier.

It was alot to spend, I hope it is worth it. We just moved to Kalama, WA about 8 months ago. We moved from Chicago, due to a job transfer. My husband is from Washington State and we love it here. It is so nice to be back, and I love Portland!

No date yet, just a confirmation that we can have the ceremony on board.

Im pretty sure they tell us the date we get married. I know leagally married is nov 6 before you leave port. But dis tells you when you can have the ceramony.

Tonya and Lelip-
I am so excited for both of you!
What a wonderful way to both start and refresh a marriage!
I looked up the packages after reading the posts and Don and I think maybe for our 25th we'll renew on board! We never had a real wedding so it will be very exciting if we really do it. Pretty sure we'll at least do a cruise.......
I hope you both continue to post your updates. Just gotta love those fairy tail endings!!

 

[leelip1982]

Thanks adventurelover67!!! We are very excited!

Congrations Lelip! I can only imagine how excited you are to be starting a new chapter in your life. I hope you have a long & happy marriage.

We have been working with Shanda @ Disney to see if we can have the VR ceremony on deck 7 as well. She indicated when we booked the ceremony we could have the ceremony on deck 7, now she sent me an email last Friday that Disney will only allow 1 ceremony on deck 7 due to daylight savings time. So the ceremony would take place @ Cadillac Lounge. They provided pictures of lounge and we are not sure this is what we want. We are thinking $2500 is alot to spend to have a VR in a lounge. So we are still contemplating. What do you all think?

So much has been going on in the home front. I have just been offered a position at MetLife Home Mortgage. I start June 1st. I'm so excited! I have had almost a year off with my children and I think everyone has adjusted to the move, so it's a perfect time to go back.

Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day!
Tonya

That is a hard decision. We really wanted deck 7 because I wanted it outside and I didn't want it at cc because we love that port so much I justed wanted to be able to hang out on cc. When we booked in Dec we were on a waiting list for deck 7 and then we got it. However, if deck 7 was not available we were still going to get married in the lounge because I really did not want to wait any longer ( we have been together 7 1/2 years!!!! and our official anniversary is 11/14/02 unofficial 8/31/02 ). For a VR if you really want it on deck 7 then maybe I would wait until you can have it there. In the end you have to do what is right for you guys!!! I know some people have had there weddings/VR in the lounge and it has been beautiful but I know what its like to have your heart set on something. Good luck!!!

I'm so sorry to hear deck 7 isn't available for your VR.
I tend to agree with Lelip in regards to waiting if it really isn't what you wanted. It would be a shame to spend the $2500 if it already feels like you might be disappointed (keep in mind I'm a tad bit on the frugal side normally!). On the other hand, maybe they would have more options available and you and DH could find something equally special?

Congratulations and good luck starting you new job! I hope you love it and get great co-workers, too!

Just wanted to let y'all know that we will not be sailing with y'all after all. But have no fear, we'll make sure that the ship is ready for you, 'cause we bumped our trip up two weeks.

I hope y'all have a fun and safe trip.

Does anyone know if the rotation as far as what night is formal night, casual, etc. is still the same as it was a few years ago, just trying to figure out what night to do PALO and what night will be semi formal formal pirate or casual?

Is this thread dead?

 

[Davids-Coco]

No, not dead. I've been MIA though. I can catch up the main post this afternoon. Things for me have been hard, so I'm just starting to be above water again.

 

[AdventureLover67]

Hopefully the thread will start picking up more now that we are getting closer to the cruise date!

Has anyone picked out shore excursions yet? Any recommendations?

 

[casana]

Anyone planning on taking a day or two in a Disney hotel prior to heading to the cruise?

We were toying with the idea, but of course its Jersey week and there's NO discounts other than perhaps AAA and I'm having a heck of a time finding cheap airfares down to Orlando...

This is our first cruise, how much prep work do we need to do prior to the cruise? Feels to far away to start working on details yet.

 

[JoRo]

Hi we are here, I watch every post...we are really exited, just a quiet thread.

We are doing a couple of days before excited to do one day of Food and Wine Festival and a few days after...

This is our first disney cruise, just got our little girl another little summer dress for the "dinners" ...love having a girl.

I have no idea what the little boy (2.5) will wear he really likes his disney tshirt and shorts.

So can anyone tell me are the disney dinners pretty casual? Other cruises seem to be a little more dressy.

We were originally booked on the Western cruise that leaves on 10/16. That cruise thread was hopin'. They'd have eight pages in a week. It was hard to keep up.

I think we are going to keep it simple on occursions. I think we'll do beach days on all three stops. I gotta decide soon as 8/23 will be here fast.

 

[casana]

What happens on 8/23?? Is that some sort of deadline?
