Great! Yes, I had read about the "magnets only" rule...thanks for reminding me! I thought I'd post here our room number & then our DISboard friends can come mark their state I'll wait till closer to cruise time though...

It's a fitness show. I was gone from mid April to July. I think you'll get a kick out of it. Tuesday night for 6 weeks.

Wow! How cool is that?

Since I didn't have the time/opportunity to read through 1,000 posts on this thread (!) are there any Meet Ups planned for the kiddos? Reese is 4 and I'd love for him to make a "cruise buddy" ahead of time!

CrazyZeus1 -
There have been lots of DD's on the boards discussing get togethers and e-mailing each other. I have a DS who will be 5 at the time of sailing. There was one other family with a DS that listed as well. The more the better to get them excited about the Oceaneers Club.

I see you're in TX too...so are we Dallas/Ft. Worth area...you?

We are only around a week away from the 90 days date to make Palos and excursions reservations.

My DD17 wants to go on the Teen Kayak tour at CC.

We are going to para sail as a family but we will do that at Cocoa Beach the Friday before we leave, its a better offer ( sail higher and longer) plus less $$$.

The sky lift at St Thomas looks OK, its first come first serve. We would really love to go on a snorkel excursion, but there are so many that I am unable to pick yet.

What excursions are you considering? What good experiences have you had with different excursions?

We did a glass bottom boat excursions years ago on a Premiere cruise, I did not enjoy it at all, DD thought it was just "OK" while DH loved it.

DD and I para sailed last year at Panama City and we fell in love with it.
We would love to just get off the boat and walk around and explore the islands. Is that a bit difficult or are the towns with in reasonable walking distances?

Bev - I was in St Maarten in Dec '06 and it is a very nice walk into town. Brick pathway, island sounds, breeze, a little exercise... aaahhh. Also the ferry goes across the harbor to town and then there are the taxis.

I have always used a taxi in St Thomas, about a 15 minute ride to town.

Could you tell me what font style you used on the Mickey Cruise-a-palooza sign?

Thanks! Only 97 days!!!

 

[bevtoy]

Actually jenny2 created them. She put the family name on it for me.

OK, my logos are on the yahoo site. Kevin, did you get the background cleared up on your logo? If you're trying to make it "transparent" you can only do that with .gif files.

Here are the 3 I put over on the yahoo site. And regardless of which one we all vote for, I can change any of these (or add names or whatever) if you want to make tshirts or door magnets!

A big YEE HAW!!! on the 97 days...i can't believe something we've been planning since the end of 2005 is just around the corner. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

I've looked at all the fonts on the signs Bevtoy posted...and...I really can't tell which font was used. I did get some disney font from a free down load on the following site - http://www.disneyexperience.com/fonts.html

they have over 20 different disney fonts - original...park and movie styles. it's a fun site to review....wallpapers, coursors, sound links...etc. ENJOY!! k

Hello All! I've been reviewing the excursions for our trip. One important detail appears to be missing from the descriptions.... the cost! Does anyone know where the cost per excursions could be found? Thanks, Cathy

 

[DisneyFamilyTX]

Not sure about the excursion cost, but if you haven't been to the PassPorter Site you're missing out. I can't tell you how helpful and informative the site is for the cruise and all things Disney. You can check it out at: http://www.passporterboards.com/forums. Also, I would highly recommend their cruise book. The other thing you can always check is the www.castawayclub.com which has been referenced earlier as well.

 

[bevtoy]

I found a good source for high resolution prints to make magnets with. Here is the latest magnet. This is so much better!

 

[jenmack]

I agree Bev! They look really nice!

 

[jenny2]

I have it at home... I'll post tonight and let you know!

Oh Bev, those are great!!

Hey everyone! I haven't posted in a while. We visited the World at the beginning of June, and it's been non-stop since, lol. Birthday parties, weddings, get-togethers... and my kids are on a year round schedule for school so the just went back to school yesterday... so it was supply and school shopping! Whew... glad that's done.

Now... to dreaming of the cruise!!

There are so many fun things to do for excursions. I've started the process of elimation - crossing out all the one's I don't want to do. It'll hopefully make deciding what to do easier

Check into your Disney account on line and put "Excursions" into the search engine. You have to click on each individual excursion to see the prices.

 

[tidoublegger]

Is there anyone who could make me us a magnetic sign or two? Can these be emailed and then printed out on my printer? I have no idea how to do this!

We paid our final payment!!! Now we just have to wait until the 30th to book Palo's! I'm not sure on the excursions yet. We may book something from shoretrips.com or take a taxi and explore!

I can't believe how close it is!!!!! We are so excited!
