Thanks for Posting the Roll Call Deb.

 

[VTX_Mike]

Deb:

That's quite a list of Dissers so far. It should be a huge group by the time the cruise rolls around.

[angiengary]

I'm going to go ahead and start my projects so Bring Back the Magic it is

 

[angiengary]

I was wondering if you could post the information from your 1st post on thread #1

It had some great info that I think would be good for new cruisers. Like how to make a fish extender etc

 

[livingis2me]

I'm here!!!

 

[dizzi]

Yes i will post some information on post 1 soon.

But grawsh..........

i still have not gotten off here to go to the grocery store.

i couldnt pull myself away.

My Dh doesnt help by saying just sit....you deserve to sit.

But i am thinking HOW am i goign to feed everyone later!!!!

 

[dizzi]

Well at least it is good to know that we can have both thread and we can choose to be on both or not.

LETs BRING BACK THE MAGIC!!!!

Lynn, I don't feel like going back to find your post about the electric cars but I think $175 that DCL charges is pricey. Esp. when you can get 3 hours for $70. I don't think the admission to the museums cost all that much. But then again the premium you pay to do excursions through DCL is all about the convenience. We've done the DCL excursions before because of that reason.

1) Can anyone recommend a good hotel for us to stay in the night before our cruise?

Sorry, can't help you there! (yet...I'll explain below)

2) Do the hotels in that area have shuttles to and from the port or do we need to drive to the port and leave our vehicle for the week?

I do know some of the hotels there offer shuttle service. We are actually considering staying at a hotel over there the night before the cruise since the cost of parking at the port for a week is actually more than just staying at a hotel and using the shuttle (because some of the hotels offer free parking for the week). I haven't done any research on it yet though so I can't give you specifics on which hotels are there and which offer these services. I think the Radisson and Country Inn are the ones most recommended...

3)Suggestions for door magnets. Mousemadness and I have seen some magnets posted that people made out of the mouse ears. Does anyone know how to do that? I would love some advise on doing this.

Did someone say magnet designs? That is totally on of my favorite things about planning. Ron says I am addicted to it, finding just the right fonts, clip art and pictures to use to make magnets. (I think addicted is actually a gentle word...obsessive compulsive is more like it!)

But the best place to check out is on the Creative Disigns forum (main boards front page all the way at the bottom). There are some amazing designers there that can create custom designs just for you! I love to browse over there and just get inspired! There are all different threads you can post requests and get things personalizd. Or some people offer templates and blanks so that you can personalize them yourself. Or you can just get great ideas to come up up with your own designs! I do a combination of all three!

4)When making the items to go on your door do you put your child(ren)'s name on it, everyones first name or just your surname?
My reason for asking and this may sound stupid was for safety reasons. BEFORE You laugh remember this is my first cruise with a child. I'm not a freaky parent but it crossed my mind last night while talking to Monica and we decided to ask you all before we moved ahead on things.

That is just whatever your personal comfort level is on that. We do have both first and last names posted up but I totally understand your concern. Either way is fine and totally acceptable. Some folks even prefer to simply use nicknames instead like "mommy/daddy", "princess" and "pirate".

 

[livingis2me]

Well it looks like this is home now! Or at least one of them.

 

[dizzi]

I have been checking the info about the elcectric cars and

Here is what i have found so far.........

Through DCL you get 3 hours i think..........

and you get tickets to gointhe light house
Which is $10 per A
...........$7 per C

Also you can go in the USCG Mohawk....a coast Guard boat
which is $12 A


Also you can go in the PIRATE SOUL Mueseum
which if i remember right is $12 A

So adding that all up it is a decent deal but dont know if we want to do all those places or not and there are other places to go in as well.

 

[dizzi]

Well i have gone through all my coupons now and getting ready to go for groceries.

Will talk to you guys if you are on tonight when i get to sit back down.

Have an early morning tomorrow.

have to be at work at 5am.

But i gotta get soem food in this is house.

ANGIE.......I have not forgotten about your EAR MAGNETS

But maybe Nenner might have them readily available...if not i will fidnthem for you fer sure!!!!

 

[dizzi]

Yeah i kinow i am leaving eventually.........

But just wanted to say that i know there is one hotel that ahs a really great pool area.....I went to the website soemtiem ago i just cant rememeber the name of it.

Okay i am really leaving now!

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I may pick you brain later about the magnets if thats okay. I will check out the design thread soon.

No problem we still have sometime before sailing

When you think of the name lmk and I will call them and see if they have a shuttle. What we might also want to check into is getting a group rate at a hotel if enough of us are staying there. If you guys are interested in that I don't mind researching it. I just need to have a rough idea of how many rooms we would need. I know we would need one and Monica would probably need one.
