Then you'll easily find us with the Cowboys gear! It should be a really fun game to watch in Diversions. I have a good friend who would be thrilled to meet another Disney-loving-Eagles-fan kinda family! She and I have the best longstanding rivalry going on at work. And since we've both been getting our butts kicked by the Giants the last 2 seasons...ugh! Hoping for a better season this year. Not sure how we'll do without T.O., though. I liked him, even on the Eagles. If you're a Pats fan then you must really hate the Giants!

I am hoping they play the game on the big screen poolside. They did that on our last cruise when it was Pats vs Colts. Giants and/or Colts arent among my least favorite teams. But we will be sporting our Eagles gear. Atleast Im saying this now....wait till the season starts and we have winning record. LOL I'm also hoping Phillies pull back to back titles before our cruise.

Yay..another patriots fan. We are definately patriots fans in our house. My boy has played football for five years for the Patriots in our town.

I live about 10 minutes from Gillette Stadium. A few players live in the town I live in. My daughter has actually met one in the convenient store near our home. I have my sisters and their kids on board as Pats fans even though they are from Philly area. Pats have Sunday afternoon game while were on the cruise so I'll root for Philly on Sunday night.

Ooh! I wonder how we request that? Arielvision would be awesome. and it will be early in the cruise so I'll still have plenty of beer in my cooler to have poolside!!

Too funny. I had to read that one twice. It is funny that a bunch of ladies are talking about watching the game on vacation and drinking beers.

We all grew up watching football in our house. And we passed this on to our kids. My daughter loves football and baseball; as we speak she is at the Phillies game. So we are all pumped hoping the game is on by the pool. We will be dressed in our Eagles gear with our drinks in hand.

I was saying there was anything wrong with it. We watch and play sports in our house too. I just thought it was funny that us ladies were on here talking about watching in on vacation with beers in hand. Hey I'm right there with ya. Sorry didn't mean to offend anyone.

Not offended. Just making point that girls can hang just as well as men with sports and beer.

There's a great idea for a new commercial - all the beer commercials show the guys drinking beer and whooping and hollering over the game while the women in commercials seem to be limited to serving food and dusting with swiffer! Girls just wanna have fun too, Anheiser Busch!

Hi everyone. My family will be on this cruise with you. It will be myself, husband, son (will be 9 on cruise) and daughter (will be 5 on cruise). We will also be traveling with my parents, hubby's BFF and his family. This is our second disney cruise. WE did the land and sea Jan. 08. Loved the cruise, could have done without the land part. I think we are just used to Disneyland. We actually booked last April, but I just read about this forum in the new Passprters book. We are all looking foreward to a great time.

Welcome Aboard Cowgirl1! Board's been a little quiet lately, but it will pick up as we get closer, i'm sure!

SO true! Also, I am not usually in the habit of wearing a bikini when I watch sports either ... I love football as much as my DH, and play fantasy football too. Seems the advertisers think women just like to clean and roll their eyes at the sports-watching menfolk! Grrrrrr.

Glad to have some disfriends to watch the game with, poolside!

I spoke with my AAA TA regarding the discount that everyone seems to be getting. She called DCL and the AMO promotion code is only good for cruises sailing until 08/29/09. She said to keep an ear out and if we hear of another promotion code, she will find out the details for me.

Hi Everyone!! Sorry I've been MIA for a couple of weeks. My DH started his job last Monday and life has gotten very hectic around here (not that I am complaining)

Welcome COWGIRL1!! Glad to have you aboard

This is a great forum for Disney Cruisers!!! There is so much information about everything! Just do a search and you will find tons of information! I bet you will learn stuff you didn't even know existed the first time you took a Disney Cruise Plus, if you participate in the Fish Extender group it adds a little more fun to the cruise. If you haven't heard of Fish extenders before they are things that are extended from your fish outside your door that have pockets for each member of your family and every day *sometimes several times a day* you will find little goodies in your extender. Sometimes it's just for the kids (packages filled with pencils, stickers and candy for example) or gifts for the entire family (bags of candy, little pirate themed items, travel stuff like a little first aid kit) It all depends on the cruisers who are traveling and participating in the FE group. We did it on our last cruise and it made it so much fun. My son loved loved loved it!! It also made it easy to find our room because our FE made our room different than everyone elses.

Anyway....Welcome!!! Post often

BTW I have to fix my sig...I had this cool Ahoy St. Croix countdown that I made and part of it got cut off. I have to fix it

 

[COWGIRL1]

I have a question on the fish extenders. Where do you get the things that hang from the fish? How do you know who we are supposed to give the gifts to? What price range do you keep the gifts in? As you can see, I am full of questions.

Here's another question: has anyone been to Blackbeards casle in st. Thomas?

How do you get the little signs under screen name and the pictures under your postings?

I'm on a role, I'm sure there are more questions I can ask. Oh yeah, what does DD, DH etc. stand for?

Be back later, I am hooked on this forum. I am driving my husband crazy!!!

The signs under your name are added under user CP under edit signature. You can make a ticker-countdown at magicalkingdoms.com or tickerfactory.com. You can upload pics from photobucket as well in your sig.

I have not been on a cruise yet so cant comment on the castle in st thomas..maybe someone else can help you.

Well I hope have helped you with some of your questions. Happy reading on the FE. It really sounds like it will be a lot of fun. Have a good night.

Welcome Cowgirl!!

Acronyms such as DH stand for Dear Husband.. DS, Dear Son, etc.

As for the Fish Extenders, I made gifts last time. I made a couple different magnets for the doors, a bookmark with our cruise dates, and a different bookmark for the kids. It was really fun, and didn't cost me much! I designed the magnets ahead of time, but made it all in the week before the cruise. SO fun! We went on the 4 night last time and couldn't wait to come on a 7 night... DH especially loved it, so much more than he thought he would. I even caught him reading the new Passporter tonight! He also was wearing his Castaway Cay shirt at the time...

Just a little over 6 months!

Who is thinking of excursions? We've never been to the Caribbean so it's all new to us.

I am truly having a moment. Please tell me how to bookmark a post. I have never done that and cant find it to save my life. I obviously know how to sub to a thread but cant find out how to book mark...

Sorry I havent been posting too much here. I guess I feel a little sensitive these days. It seems like sometimes people turn your post all around and then I wind up feeling bad. Somedays I think I need to take a break from the DIS, but really its all I have. Anyway just needed to vent I guess.
