:cool1: :banana: :cool1: :banana: :cool1: :banana: :cool1: :banana:
 
Well we did it. I got my DSis to call and get our reservation worked out. There was something wrong with it and actually though we were doing a double dip. I told her we would take one if they gave it to us. :rolleyes1

But we did get the Palo reservations for the day at sea. I though that would be a nice why to end the cruise.

We also got the first stingray adventure time at Castaway Cey. I'm so excited.

We also got a reservation at Comfort Suites in Naussa for the 20th. So we will be doing Atlantis. We got a really good deal this way and I'm so excited because I have always wanted to go there.

And we switched from first to second dinner seating because we want to make sure we have plenty of time at Atlantis.

I'm so excited!!! Any one else want to share plans?

What's every one thing about the fish extenders? I can make one if people are wanting to do this. Sounds like fun.

And are we going to try and meet?:grouphug:

we'd like to meet if possible.:thumbsup2
we also linked dining with other diser's on our last cruise and it worked out great. we had a whole corner of disser's in our own corner.:wizard: we got a great deal on this cruise. $531 pp.GTY hoping for a free upgrade if its not a full ship.:wizard: :woohoo:

Hello! to all new comers! Let's Hear it for Fall School Breaks!!! :cheer2:

I've already started buying stuff for the trip! Haven't got the suitcase out yet but starting to look at seriously! I'm so excited!!

I have boys ages 11 and 13 that would like to trade e-mails with others their ages! Send me a PM.

Has everyone got their Passports already??pirate:
 
PrincessaJasmine and family-- welcome aboard. I've added you to the roll call on page 1.

Dyerneeds / Tart Annihilator-- glad to hear that negotiations went well. We can't wait to meet you guys! I'm not exactly sure how to link dining reservations... so, if you want to pm me with what needs to happen, we'd love to share a table or be sat near you guys.

IAFigment-- we always keep a bag packed for a warm destination. And, if that wasn't bad enough, we also have a packing list that gets pulled out every time we head anywhere near Orlando. Can you tell we love to travel?

Cheers!
 
I wish I always kept a bag packed for vacation. My closets are so small in this house though that I can't keep any extra clothes! :rotfl: I always have to wash and pack at the last minute. But then I so like to play this game with my husband where he packs up his stuff and then I come along and unpack his stuff and then repack his stuff. Then we have conversations that sound like, Honey, how many shirts do you think you need? Why are you bringing jeans? A sweater, really?? One jacket is fine, IT'S FINE I TELL YOU! Then it ends up with, You only get one suitcase, bring what you want but it better fit in that one suitcase! I love getting ready for vacation. :cutie: These conversations are usually then followed up by the always fun what time do you want to leave? No, what time do YOU want to leave. Does the car have gas in it? We can't take all this food. We're not going to our DVC, we're gong on a cruise. It's just going to sit in the hot car in the terminal.

Who knew I was marrying an overpacker? :confused3 He's loaded for bear wherever he goes. You would think it would be me, but it's him. He would have been great to have on the frontier. LOL His wagon would have had every single thing anybody ever needed to settle out west.

Anywho, back on topic. I've got the email addie for my brother (13) and sister (11), and they are very exicited to get to emailing. So I've PM'ed Snowball. If anyone else wants them, please drop me a line!
 
Thanks for adding us to the roll call, Tiggerhappy. Our group actually includes my husband, son (10), son (8), mother and sister.

We have all cruised before, but this will be our first DCL and our first cruise together.

I can't wait! :cool1:
 
anyone doing excersions?
we were thinking of the dolphin encounter in nausau. anyone ever done that?
 
just curious, or nosey:lmao: . who has early and who has late dining?

We have late dining. People have mentioned linking our ressies, and I'm all for that with anyone else who has late.

We did the dolphin encounter in Mexico, so I don't know about the Bahams. I can say that if they have one where you can actually swim and hug a dolphin rather than just pet one from the sidelines, do the swimming one. It's crazy expensive, but so worth it. I booked through shoretrips.com and my experience with them was really great. Disney didn't offer the swim option, but I was able to get it through shoretrips.com. Why Disney doesn't offer the swim option is a mystery to me because it is sooo cool!

I mean look at these happy faces! LOL

thats a great pic.:thumbsup2
were had planned on the dolphins last year in cozumel but weather cancelled it.:headache:

we have late dining also.:hug:
 
We are late dinner seating.

I booked the Dolphin Encounter at Atlantis. The other encounter in Nassau was already full when I got on at midnight at 75 days out. It is quite a bit more expensive, $285/person, but does include the Atlantis water park after, which alone is $165/person, and wet suits for the dolphin encounter and lite lunch. Also bus instead of boat to Atlantis. The other one is by small boat & with my luck I would be seasick till I got there & not be able to enjoy myself anyway. I am going all out for the rest of the trip, too, so might as well bite the bullet on this and go for it. This is going to be a trip of a lifetime for us. May never be able to afford such luxury again, so I might as well make the most of it.
 
Hello Everyone!

Stenogoddess & IAFigment tell your kids to look for some e-mails soon!
Anyone else taking kids that want to trade e-mails? Looks like we have an age span of 10 to 13, that is right now!

Is anyone staying the night before the cruise close to port?

Have been reading all these Disney Cruise books, right now Passporter, and my head is absoutely swimming with all this info!:magnify:

What is everyone looking forward to the most?
