Hey fellow Turkey Day sailers...We decided to book Palo on Day 2 (nassau) because that was really all that was available. If we decided that we don't want to dine there and want to stick with our "regular" seating, can we cancel?

My concern is that it is Thanksgiving and DH wanted to take it easy that day and not have to "get all dressed up" as he says it. I really don't know if we should just bypass Palo for this cruise or go for it.

Oh and what time does the Pirate party start?

Sorry for all the repeat posts, by browser kept freezing and posting my replies without be being able to fininsh them.

We will be traveling with my daughter and her family on the Thanksgiving Cruise. It will be my Grandson's 8th birthday BUT it will also be my husband and my 45th Wedding anniversary ! We actually cruised to Nassua on our honeymoon in 1964 Is it possible to arrange for special photos, wine at dinner or something to make mark the event? I plan to decorate our door with a current photo and our wedding photo and maybe some kind of special Mickey and Minnie FE if I can fiqure one out. Suggestions are most welcome

This will be our second Thanksgiving Disney cruise (we went in 2005). LOVED IT!

We will have another family joining us this year...I'll pull together our info and get it to you...I just recently started reading on the FFE...my girls (ages 7 and 9) would LOVE that!

We've booked the dolphin swim...hopefully we won't freeze! Just could not pass that up....maybe I need to look into wet suits!! Ha! ha! In 2005 we did the Castaway Cay kayak adventure (the adults)...it was alot of fun.

Guess I need to start figuring out these fish extenders and making some Operation Gobble Gobble magnets...!

glad to see you finally made it

 

[KaM mom]

We are going through and trying to plan out our gift exchange ideas and are wondering if the FE's and door magnets are taken down on the 4th night or remain up untill the morning?

On our last cruise (non disney and too many years ago) we had to have our luggage outside the state room before retiring for the last night. This way it can be collected over night taken to customs as soon as the ship docks.

Thanks

You are truly bless with talent! this FE looks fantastic, can you tell me how to do the Mickey heads? Elcka

Thanks for the compliment, but I did the design, not the sewing. I don't sew -- at all The mickey heads on the sides were small styrofoam balls painted black with small wooden discs inserted in the styrofoam and painted black as well. They held up alright, but didn't make the return trip in the luggage.

You can always cancel Palo, that's not a problem. Getting the reservation is the hard part. From what I remember last May the Pirate party began after late seating was finished in the dining room. Maybe 10pm or so?

Congrats on the anniversary! That's wonderful! There are photos taken everynight before and/or after dinner if you choose. You are under no obligation to buy so you can pose away! I love taking lots of pictures and then choosing at the end of the cruise which ones I want. You can order wine or champagne at dinner from your assitant server everynight. If you don't finish the bottle they will cork it and store it and it will be on your table the next evening for you to enjoy.

If you wanted something extra special you could order a special basket through Shirley at The Perfect Gift for your DH for the anniversary and for your Grandson's Birthday. I've ordered from her before and her stuff is great. You can even custom order what you want. I'll be ordering another basket from her for this cruise as a big "thank you" to my Mom.

Yes, FE's and magnents should be taken down the night before when you pack if you want to put them in your luggage. I guess if you wanted to put them in your carry-on's you could wait until the morning to take them down. I took mine down the last night before we had to set out the luggage so I could just pack them away and not worry about it that morning.

How do I contact the perfect gift, are they part of the Disney Cruise system? Do they have a website I can look at?

Here's the website: http://www.theperfectgift.cc/index.html

Here's a thread that shows different baskets that Shirley has put together. She can really customize anything you want.

You can also go through Disney itself and send something through the cruise (but this is a much more expensive option):

Just wanted to say thanks for doing this and can't just send to you as I am still not at 10 posts. We have been on 5 Disney cruises, but don't think this was done on the first few and on the one in June this year folks decided not to do it. I've been thinking of potential gifts for weeks, so it will be good to know about how many. Thanks again!

HI, Count us in on the meet and greet, but not the Fish Extenders. It will be our third Thanksgiving Disney cruise and we are looking forward to it very much. John and Joy from West Palm Beach, Fl.

Awesome! Thanks!

This will be my first Thanksgiving cruise. Since you seem to be the "pros" do you have any insight on what Disney does on Thanksgiving? What do they serve in the dining room? Is there anything special that goes on? Thanks.
