**Mickey's Merry Cruisers** 12/13/09 4 night Wonder

[miztigg]

if you bought the transfurs you go to baggage claim area there are cast members with signs everywhere they will direct you to the buses you will have your ticket in your cruise docs you DO NOT pick up your luggage (just make sure you put you bag tags on at home) disney will deliver them right to your stateroom
i will be doing MVMCP on thurs the day we get off the ship . yeah i can book some more plans. anyone else gonna go thursday?

 

[pmama]

We will most likely do MVMCP that Thursday as well. Unless we opt for more days on land in which case we will probably purchase a 4-5 day ticket. Waiting to see what kind of deals they offer.

Im not sure why they only have MVMCP listed till that friday? i thought i read christmas day was the hardest one to get maybe they will release those dates later?
Im not sure how many days im getting to the parks im not doing a park thursday so the kids (and me) can get a nap Its a early morning and a late night, and we will have that day to ride on the golf cart and see FW all decorated. We will only have sat and sun and im still not sure if we are flying driving or taking the autotrain depends what i get the best deal on. I have not been to epcot in a few years or MGM but with the younger kids not sure how they will like them.

I think we may have to check out the MVMCP. What better way to finish off the trip. We can't hang with Mickey on his boat and not kick back with him in his house for a bit. Duh!

From everything I've heard MVMCP usually stops the week before Christmas. That is because the week of Christmas MK is basically set up the same as MVMCP except for free milk and cookies. They do their Christmas parade during the day and the Christmas fireworks. That's why some say if you will be there during that time it is not worth it to pay the extra for MVMCP. I think the crowd at MVMCP gets heavier as you get closer to Christmas though.

I think you will really enjoy it i did so did my kids. I hope it is not that crowded on my last christmas time cruise i did the first week of december and we did not have any lines. It was very nice we did not wait more than 5 min for any ride.

Those of you going to WDW after the cruise are smart. We went to WDW before the cruise and all we did was relax...too tired for cruising the decks, dancing in the lounges etc.
Being a first timer at both - I was too pooped to party on the cruise. Although it felt great relaxing... No work, no phones, no doorbells...

It's going to be different this year - the ladies are going to party got the idea?

Hmm, This is my second cruise, seems like the secret deck 7 is so secret that I don't know about it! Sounds like a good idea, time and day is all that's needed.

Hi Everyone,

How about getting together for the Sail Off Party. We could meet up with everyone, and get to know one another personally. We're already familiar with each other on the thread.

Do any of you know one another personally? I've met several Disney fans and they are so cool. I felt very comfortable around them. : We're like one big family celebrating the Magic on a Disney cruise.

Ideas? Suggestions?

I don't know anyone here personally......but that will be different come Dec 13th

I am sure we will all meet up somewhere for the sail away. We will probably have to see how big this roll call gets before we can determine where to meet though. I have actually never done the whole meet & greet thing but lurked on one a little before the last cruise we went on. It was fun after seeing peoples pics on the roll call and then to be standing on the ship sailing out of PC and I'm telling DW "look, there's Dave and Jim". She just shakes her head. BTW, Dave and Jim were "life partners" who had been on over 60 cruises together.

On the one I lurked on they did a "Cabin Crawl" so everyone could get to see the different category cabins. I am in a Cat12 so I don't know that I want to see the plush, giant rooms some will be in. I will covet them the whole time afterwards

The last cruise I went on I didnt make the meet. we were sailing with a group of 19 a bunch of us went from work and none have them had never cruised, i did start a addiction it was crazy first few hours. The cruise before that we met in the promanade lounge it was neat to see everyone through the week. And as for deck 7 when we get closer after palo plans are made we can meet out there and ill bring a blender

Hi there everyone,
Been away from the threads for a bit but still making plans. DD had school today (yes, Saturday) to make up for the ice storm in Dec, so I'm getting caught up now. Are we the only first time cruisers here? A meet sounds like a lot of fun. Are any of you going to decorate your cabin doors? I found some great designs and a no sew Fish Extender on the baords. Also something I ran across this morning if you go to the cruise section of DIS Home you can find your cabin and see how its rated. Some of the reviews are older but it was interesting. We are also planning on going to MVMCP. We went in '06 and had a great time. Will anyone be coming from the World or will it be train, plane or auto directly to the port? Sorry for all the questions but you have a newbie crusier amongst you.

Hi Brian,

We're also a Category 12 - haven't the foggiest idea what it's like. I heard pros and cons being on Deck 2. we won't know til the time comes. We won't find out what stateroom we have until the bitter end - but it is guaranteed. Hopefully we will be upgraded. :

We were on Deck 6 in '06, stateroom 6094 portside. Very nice, with a veranda and split bath. Able to sit on the veranda and enjoy the sunrise or set and the beautiful water.

Linda, or other first timers, don't hesitate asking questions regarding the cruise. The only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask.
Feel free to ask , we'll answer the questions.

How can I put a countdown and signature that automatically shows when I post?

Hi everyone i got my FEs on ebay 2 for like 12 bucks my sched is so hectic i didnt have time to begin to make them. I always decorate my door so i will begin soon to look for some door decorations soon right now we just had a death in the family im taking 2 classes and we are in the middle of remodling out house and opening our camper its just a little crazy . We have a gty 12 however i have to call since i had rebooked on board for this cruise i got the 10% off and the OBC but then i heard if you get a cat 12 you dont get the 10% this was my first rebook on board so i have to call. and maybe up it to a 11 (im NEVER lucky enough to get a upgrade and this is my 7th DCL cruise) .I think im gonna cave and fly just to save time to keep the kids from missing to much school. hope everyone is having a good weekend

Hi Carol,
Simply click on my countdown or anyone elses and it will take you to the site where it is created. You don't have to join just click vacation counter, follow the directions, copy it(Keep the site open) Open the boards go to User CP in the red bar above. Click signature and paste your countdown into the box. Preview it and then save. I believe you can also email it to yourelf. It's that easy. Have fun.

Hi Linda,
