New Yorkers Beware...Mickey is coming to town! June 17th, 2012 Canada Cruise

[llqool]

Do we know if there is a character breakfast on a 5 day cruise? (Not that I was able to get brunch reservations at Palo, but I'd like to know for planning purposes in case one pops up!)

 

[FullSpectrumFamily]

We are on the June 17th cruise as well...also from PA!

 

[joius24]

We are on the June 17th cruise as well...also from PA!

Welcome Full S Fam! Nice to have another PA=er onboard

LLcool - You can probabaly call Dis Cruise Line and ask?

I cannot WAIT anymore .....can we go now?

 

[autgirl]

We are on the June 17th cruise as well...also from PA!

Welcome!! Where in PA are you?

Was out running errands today...found some great stuff for FE's...so if we split there better be some kids in my group lol!! Also getting ideas for how to make our FE...thinking we are going to go the duct tape route since DH is a duct tape fiend.

 

[jennypenny]

We're also on this cruise (and from PA).

Does anyone know where to find the tide schedule for the day we're in Saint John?

 

[BalooHoo]

Does anyone know where to find the tide schedule for the day we're in Saint John?

Low tide will be 7:13 am (3.6 feet) and high tide will be 1:22 pm (24.0 feet), according to this site: http://www.bayoffundytourism.com/tides/times/.

Although Disney has never sailed this itinerary before, I'm pretty sure that other 5 day cruises have not had character breakfasts. I guess we won't know for sure until the June 10 sailing occurs, but I'd bet against a character breakfast.

The 5 night I went on did not have a character breakfast.

Hi there - we are on this cruise and very excited. I just don't take the time to check the DIS boards regularly - and I am a newbie with such technology, so it takes me a while to work my way through them. I made our FE over the weekend and I am thrilled with how it turned out for a first attempt. Now I have to figure out how to post the photo of it.

Please be sure to fill out the google docs form to give us your families information and cabin number so we can deliver your FE gifts....Thanks.

 

[ksloane]

We booked Top 10 of Halifax with lunch, and the Maple Sugar Shack and Brunch for St. John.

In 12 weeks I'll be in New York! Broadway here I come

We also booked the Maple Sugar Shack....See you there!

Are there big differences in cost? I would compare prices, reliability of the companies and personal comfort level.

I don't know....I need to really sit down and start researching and putting together a plan. I may go with Disney transport from airport to port just for simplicity sake so I can be lazy.

Guess What?? We got Main Dining!!!! We were originally put on second dining and were waitlisted for main dining - and I checked yesterday and main dining!
Just had to share that
(autgirl - glad you signed up for FE!)

CONGRATS!!!!

Excursions all booked...Palo brunch booked...check in 11:30 time confirmed...FE Extender ordered....only thing left to do is get final count for FE and get mt gifts together! So excited...can't wait it has been way to long in between cruises

You also need to fill out the google docs form so we know more about your family and room number for delivering gifts. Please do this as soon as you get a chance.

I have been a DIS lurker for many years. I am excited to finally be joining a group.
My husband (Aaron), my 7 year old daughter (Belle), and myself (Lisa) are exited to be going on this cruise out of NYC. This will be our third cruise with Disney and we would love to do the FE. I will try to get our information on he spreadsheet tomorrow.
We are thinking of doing the Citadel tour, and the Bay of Fundy train excursions. Could someone let me know about times for those tours? We are also thinking about doing the Mary Poppins post cruise show with the cruise line. Was there any information about if it was available after this cruise?
Looking forward to more cruise talk over the next 80ish days.

I didn't know you could do Mary Poppins as part of the cruise, but I have our tickets for June 30 and can't wait!

I know we are getting a lot of new interest in participating in the FE group. Are we still planning on splitting if we go over 20? (We must be getting pretty close). With option of one or both groups? Just wanted to be sure what the plan is while I still have time to regroup if I need to. Thanks!

Carol

Absolutely. There are 20 rooms registered right now, but a few that haven't signed the google docs form yet.

[jennypenny]

I should have put all of our info:

jennypenny 46, DH 45, DD 16, DS 13, DS 9

and also bringing first time cruisers (and scared to death for some reason) MIL and FIL (both in their 70s)

We did the Alaska cruise last summer and I agree about limiting the FE list. We had 67 I think last year and it was too many (although I did love all of the loot ).

 

[Brittwoman]

Ok finally filled out my Google Document Now I'm officially participating in the FE

 

[HermanTriplets+1]

Welcome to all new families!

We celebrated DS13's big day yesterday and it was AMAZING! Now I can REALLY focus forward on June !

Online check-in coming up soon for all of us first-timers! How many time zones are we in? Midnight on the East Coast might mean a lot of different things - we'll hit midnight at 7am! And 3am, will, 10am. Guess I'll be checking in from work!

 

[Lqqieee]

Hi there!

Excited to be on this cruise with all of you!!!

I'm Lisa, 36 and my DH is Lou 31...no kids yet but trying!!

This will be our 7th Disney cruise and we couldn't be more excited! So happy that we don't have to fly to get on a Disney cruise!!!!!! We live 45 minutes away from NYC port! YES!!!!!!


I'd love to participate in the FE! I'm going to fill out the Google document link now! Yay! My first FE!

Also have to start making out door magnets....so much fun!

We looked at the excursions available and decided to do Halifax on our own. Maritime Museum, walk along the port, eat some yummy COWS ice cream, walk up the hill to Freaky Lunchbox, go to the Citadel and the walk down hill and grab a bite to eat (some yummy seafood!).

Can't wait!!!!!

Hi and welcome Lisa and Lou!

I am about 2 hrs from port, but flying into Long island ....coming off the Fantasy the day before... LOL

We will actually be taking a bus home after the cruise cheap and you can sleep!

I am going to start my FEs for the other cruise.....if I can get them done in a decent amount of time I may join this one .... waiting to see how long it takes.

Can we go now?

Regarding the baby thing - I was once in that "trying" stage, and look at me now!

ATTENTION FE PARTICIPANTS:

We are over our "20" rooms. We are currently at 22 rooms and there are 2 users who say they are participating but haven't filled out the google docs form. That would put us at 24 rooms.

So.....now for the big question.....who wants to be in one group? who wants to be in both groups?

Everyone please think about it and reply so I can start making our groups.
