November 10, 2007 - MAGIC - Eastern

Lol... I just couldn't find any indication if it was a DH or a DW... glad to know you are the DW!!

So I put an X as in "yep, that there is a spouse there!" But I've tweaked it now... so he can come!!

Thanks -- I'm kinda fond of him. Well, until he tries to tell me how to "pack light," anyway!!!

We can make them - Disney paint samples at Home Depot come in the shape of our famous "Mickey" I can tack them onto some magnetic paper and Voila !

We will first have to figure out who wants to play and who does not - then are we going to leave a little gift - ( things hang nicely from the fish near the door!)

It is a blast and you get to see parts of the ship that you normally would not venture to. When we played last we hid around corners making sure the halls were empty when we "Tagged" the next person.

There was one time I went back to my room and there were 4 magnets on the door ... we ran the gauntlet to tag the next Dis' group ...

I would love to play sounds like fun!!! However I need to know the rules and if I am suppose to bring anything for my door first timer, no clue but willing to play. Would it be fun to meet one day and get a group picture with us all wearing green or something green?

A little of the subject but I want to get a Buzzlightyear magnet with my son's name on it as he is turning 9. I looked on the maget section and nothing anyone help??

The other Lynn (hahaha) from Loudoun County Va

Can't advise you about the excursions... but Palo is GREAT on a night leaving port!! It's my one recommendation - b/c on sails like ours where we're so close to the new moon - there's nothing but a big, black blob out the Palo window on at sea nights! When you book on nights that it's pulling out of port, at least you can see the lights receding!

That said - reminder that the night we leave St. Maarten's is Pirate Night - so if you're going to book then, you'll want to work around that!

Do you think if I booked Palo for the 830 pm that is to late for the pirate party? The only time they had. I guess we won't get bandanas either being at Palo. Lynn

 

[lbullard]

Well I am glad to meet another Lynn .... .

Was it decided that we will be playing Dis Tag ? - on previous cruises I have played this it was a blast ... we each brought a little something that represented where we were from ... I had put together a cd with pics of New England and included Red Sox and Patriots stuff. We should make a decision soon as I would like to start purchasing some chackis for all of my new friends

Lynnie

You are a Lynn then just like me, cool. Do we have a day we are meeting and stuff. I feel a little behind but want to participate so let me know if anything final has been set on what we are doing, meeting games playing etc. Lynn

We were in Palo for Pirate night last year, and as we left, they had a stack of bandanas for us to take. My kids went to dinner in the dining room, and the servers gave them about 10 bandanas for us, since they weren't there. You will definately get bandanas.

Dinner at Palo at 8:30 will not get you out in time for the party. But you may have window seats for the fireworks, which IMHO is MUCH better that the Pirate party. You'll also probably be to stuffed to eat at the buffet at 11PM.

Anyone planning to hang a fish extender? I am shopping around for some goodies to share and hoping some of you will have one on your door.

 

[Phelpsie70]

Thanks everyone for the welcome! Looking forward to meeting folks on board. I can't believe it is September already - we are getting so close!

I'm bringing one - and I hope other folks are too - I'd like to play DISfairy
It's kind of neat to leave surprises for other people!!

Part of why I was thinking about putting together a 'shipboard directory' - as part of the Navigator-type thing that Lauri mentioned and sent me a copy of!!

Strictly voluntary participation for those who want to do it... But I'll get working on it soon - can't believe we're only 2 months out!

 

[Stimpy]

3 questions.....

1. I am not crafty at all! Is there any place to buy a fish extender??

2. I might like to do the fairy thing too but what kind of stuff do you bring and how much? Is it just small little things or something more? I'm trying to get some kind of idea about what others have given or received on past cruises. Is it Disney related or hometown related or just misc. things?

3. About the wine party, are we bringing a bottle from our own hometown area? I'm trying to figure out how to pack a bottle of wine in my suitcase Since we're flying in, I can't bring it as a carry-on.

It sounds like we're going to have a fun group of DIS'ers going this cruise
