Howdy!
Just want to touch base to see if there was anyone else who was interested in joining any of these events. I think most have joined "the other page we are no longer allowed to refer to" and have signed up there, so please ignore if you have already seen this. Here is what is on the go so far:

FE - we had set a cut off of Sept 16 for joining the FE groups (to allow time for making gifts, shipping them to the port if need be, etc...). Only "rule" is to have fun! Any and all gifts are welcome (by room, individual, whatever - doesn't matter!), and you are welcome to deliver them whenever it is convenient for you. We have decided to cap the groups at 15 rooms per group just to keep things manageable for everyone. If you are interested in joining and haven't yet done so, please feel free to PM me and we can get you added to the list.

Meet and Greet - We have scheduled one for Sunday from 3:00-3:30 in the
4th floor atrium (overlooking the Grand Atrium). If you would like to attend and haven't signed up yet, please PM me and I can add you to that list too. There will be draws for door prizes, so just want to get a rough idea of how many people may be attending, and what ages (especially for kids). Plus, if we end up with 200 of us , we may try to find a different location too.

Mixology - There is a mixology class being scheduled for Monday from 2:30-3:30(ish). Cost is $15, and there are still spots for 2 more people if anyone is interested in joining. We are capping it at 30 people as we have read that anything bigger than that decreases the enjoyment of the event due to the group being too large. If you're interested, PM me for more info.

If anyone needs more info and can't PM due to being new to the board and not having enough posts yet, feel free to post your questions in the actual thread and we can go from there.

Dreaming about lots of this....

Ok, wait a minute - are you guys the same Parker family, or do we actually have 2 Parker families?

 

[jnosko88]

Hi guys,

This will be my fiancé and my first cruise and we are on our honeymoon. My boss just told me about the FE and it sounds like so much fun and we are interested. I'm not sure how or what we need to do. I am a cast member and we don't get our room number until we get on the ship. I'd be happy to get more information.

Lol. Two separate Parker families. We've yet to meet the other Parker's, but can't wait to meet them and everyone else.

Yay for unofficial, unplanned, long lost cousin family reunions!!

Hey there everyone!

I think that I am the worst thread starter in the world having nearly abandoned it and sidetracked be lost of shiny things in the past year. We can't waiting and are counting down the days to this cruise. Congratulations jsenko88 (sorry if I got that wrong) on your wedding and this being your honeymoon! We were on ours in Alaksa a year ago and disney scared DH loved it and is now hooked. Has anyone booked any excursions? Just curious to see who is going to be doing what where

Hello all, I'm Kyle.
Decided tonight to book this cruise - emailed agent - assume she will book tomorrow.
Glad to be joining all of you. This will be my first time back on Magic since they overhauled it; and it will be my friend Robin' first time on a Disney Cruise.
I am personally not on Facebook - however she is - I sent her the link I assume she will ask to join shortly.
Read the notes - not sure if FE is still open? Or if there is a FE Group started. If its too late, I totally understand - no problem.
Sounds like a ton of fun!

I am so excited!! We just booked today. Still waiting for USAA to send us all of the details so I can finalize and all that jazz.. Just requested to joint the FB page as well. I see the cut off for FE is Sept 16 - Whew! I love this part of the cruise so I'm glad I will be able to get in!!

This will be cruise #2, going to WDW right after and then cruising to Alaska next August. Love it and looking forward to warm weather and sun and clear blue waters

For those who are not on the site which must not be named
If you would be interested in ordering a band with our cruise information with Disney colors on it here is the information. If you cannot add yourself please pm me with your name and how many you would like of the adult and kids. They are going to be anywhere from 75 cents to $1 each.

I am going to be ordering the bands in the next week. If you would like one please add your name to the spreadsheet... They are going to cost about $1 a piece which is not bad at all https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Jy3fLu021TfrSNvkt1-fUvDnaPZWCuU9g709yFYrYB8/edit?usp=sharing

Sounds great, Kyle! Have sent you a PM - can you send me your stateroom number?

 

[mc2]

Hi All!
The FE is now closed (Kyle - you are included). There is another group starting a mixology class, and they have room for several more people if anyone is interested. There is also a suggestion of planning a PJ breakfast or PJ party (evening) for the adults. And there is now a private group "on the other site" that is monitored by some parents where some of the children from the cruise have gone to "meet' ahead of the cruise. If anyone is interested in any of this and isn't on the "other site", can you please PM me if you wish more info or to join? The app for this site is really slow/buggy/crashes regularly, etc.. on my smartphone, so I am not able to check here as often as I would like to (have to wait until I am on my laptop and have a chance to login). If you PM me, I'll get it in my email inbox.
Thank you!

Anyone get there docs that is not on the site which must not be named?
We are still waiting here in Montana for ours

Update on the bands they are ready to be printed

As soon as they arrive I will contact everyone who ordered to see how you would like to receive and pay for them. You are most welcome to pay and pick up at the meet, I can mail them, or I arrange a time to meet you on the ship I am most flexible

We only have 40 days till we set sail
We leave in 36 days to spend some time at the parks
Anyone going to the MVMCP??? We will be there on Friday the 14th if anyone would like to meet up.

Have a great day
