[maycruiser]

to bump this up! 4 more Sundays and were on board!!!

 

[shadawn]

Hello!!! I still have no docs yet!!! My TA said she called the company we booked through and they sent them out last week. But where are they now??? Talk about nerve racking. I want to hold them in my hands. Enough waiting. I'm leaving in 10 days!!! I can't stand it!!

 

[maycruiser]

How long are you supposed to wait before they will do a reissue?

 

[sbasowski]

DH and I arrive late on Friday and are staying at the Beach Club Villas. We plan on doing the Food & Wine at Epcot on Saturday. It's a can't miss event! Although, we weren't lucky enough to do the Senses dinner, you can't beat the atmosphere!

We're also going to do some park hopping upon our return as well...have to trade those cruise pins~

19 more days!!!!

we will be in Epcot on Saturday as well... make sure you wear those Lime green ribbons so we can say hello.... Not much longer now... I am so excited... very soon we will be loading that WONDERful boat.... hello spa here I come...

 

[Perdita&Pongo]

We arrive Thursday and are at the AKL for 2 nights (Th-Fri) then on to the Raddy at the port for the Sat. night before the cruise. We fly home at 5:00pm on debarkation day (Th).

Not sure if we are going to the big pin meet at the Contemporary Friday night at 7:00pm. But there will be a pin meet at the Raddy on Sat night for anyone staying there. We did this at the Raddy on cruise-eve the last 2 pin cruises and it was a blast! Hope to see you there!

So they are going to call all of the passengers! I don't envy them...but will anxiously be awaiting their phone call!

Stephanie

Just think...two weeks from today we'll be in Nassau!

 

[Perdita&Pongo]

They wouldn't be calling *all* of the passengers, rather just the 200 or so who are part of the hard-ticket pin event and who submitted forms to be a part of the RSP.

Chris - Are they really gonna call us or are we supposed to call them Wed.? (I read this on another board)

~Nancy~

 

[sgtslovak]

Nancy, I spoke with Tina of Event Services. She said everyone would be called because the cruise is so close, but said I could call tomorrow afternoon to find out my wins.

See you all in 13 days!!
Chris

 

[sbasowski]

Thanks for the info Chris! We'll be calling tomorrow to find out what we've got.

Look forward to seeing you all!

[DreamsDoComeTrue]

Quick Question from an Outsider! (Hi all, boy do I envy you!)
Are pin trading cruises only on the Wonder???

Have a great trip, beef up your immune systems now!

 

[sbasowski]

So far all of the pin cruises have been on the wonder. Not sure if they will ever do one on the Magic or not....

7 days of Pins....HMMMMM!

Leaving in 9 days! See you all Soon!

 

[DreamsDoComeTrue]

Thanks Sbasowski. I'll now return you all to your regular programming Have a blast!

OK - I have seen the title "Nov 17 Pin Trading" for quite some time now - My thought being, Oh, there are two boats leaving on the 17th ? - I finally read the first page of posts and realize that OH MY GOSH, IT'S MY BOAT!!!!!!

I am bummed cause I could've been chatting with you guys this whole time!!!!

My husband, myself, and our 4yr old girl will be on the cruise. We live in Southern Cal and have AP

I am not into pin-trading(stay with me now) but I bought my daughter a lanyard and pins (princess of course) on our last trip to DL - She loves it - Although, I think I am getting hooked now as well! It is fun!

Now that I have found out I am on the pin trading cruise, I am so excited!!!

I just have a question for you, - I will be going to DL again before our cruise. I know there are pins more tradable than others. I am not looking to be a pin collector of rare pins. I would just like to collect and have fun! But I would like to bring pins that others would like to trade me for - Which ones from DL or DCA should I buy to bring to trade - I am sure that is a loaded question - Sorry, I am really new to this and any guidance would be great -

OK, now I am going to go and read all the back threads and see what you guys have been chatting about!


See you all soon!!

Karen,
I am so glad you found us... Pin trading the best thing to do is just buy the pins you like.... If you want to collect donald duck, winnie the pooh.... remember when you are on the ship that any CM wearing a lanyard will trade you.... you give them whatever pin you want to and tell them which pin of theirs you want.... go to the Disney Stores and pick up a few they ususally have some cheaper... and also when you are in DL ... just remember to have fun.... NOW I WILL WARN YOU... some people take this pin trading stuff very seriously... as for me... I just like trading it is fun.... REMEMBER TO WEAR YOUR LIME GREEN RIBBON so we can spot you in line.... 9 more days./... YEAH !!!!!

I know some people take this really seriously and that kind of scares me - What if I end up getting some rare pin and someone trades me a not so rare one - Well, I guess it really doesn't matter cause I wouldn't know the difference anyways - I just want to have fun with it.

I have already gone to the Disney store to pick up some cheap ones there - And I know to only wear the ones you want to trade. Hope my daughter and I are not to overwhelmed by it all since we are "virgins" to this.

Our family is so excited and we can't wait to go!

Hi Karen!

What a shame that you're just now finding the thread...but we're glad that you did! You and your daughter will have a great time on the cruise! Most of us pin traders love to show newbies how to get even more addicted! But if you keep in your mind that you're in it for fun, and to collect what you like, then you'll never be disappointed!

As far as what to bring from DL, I know that they have the Nightmare before Christmas releases every weekend, that always seems to go over well. But remember this, you're coming from DL to WDW. Anything from DL can't be as easily obtained by those of us that don't live there!

Hopefully we'll run into each other. My husband and I both love to trade pins with the little ones....in fact we have a special lanyard just for them! Don't tell her, but they are usually stocked with Princesses!

See you in 9 days!
