October 20, 2012, Disney Fantasy, Eastern Caribbean-Who's with us?

To help those of you asking about shipping ... here is a picture of what we are bringing and how we are bringing it aboard.


Two of Schlafly's Finest!

Snugly tucked into a two-bottle wine sleeve.

You can purchase single sleeves as well - this was a sleeve someone gave us a few years back; gets a lot of use and we've never lost a bottle yet (fingers crossed!).

Woohoo! Wow, 10 business days? That has to be a record.

It seemed fast. I had to go back and lookup when we applied for the passports. I was surprised too. We applied at the local PO. Not sure if they are mailed to Washington, D.C. or not, but we live just outside, so that may have accelerated the process.
Now that I think about it, your right, that could be a record.

Having shelled out the $ for them, I feel I want them stamped where possible. Do any of you get your passports stamped?

 

[PKK/MJK]

Any special requests from RVA or Charlottesville?
I was going to bring an assortment from Blue Mountain Brewery (http://www.bluemountainbrewery.com/brewery), Legend (http://www.legendbrewing.com/), and Hardywood (http://www.hardywood.com/)


So exciting! Congrats to everyone who got documents this week!

We have not signed up the Beer tasting but would like to attend to meet new friends. (just to visit as DW does not drink beer) and since our oldest DD was a "lawnie" at UVA, we would like to meet up with DIS cruisers. Phil and Mary Jo

I'm interested in taking my family to the Tropicana restraunt on the French side of st Maarten . Anyone ever use the cabs? How much was it if you did?? This restraunt had menu in French and everyone there spoke French! It was quite an experience when I was there many years ago!

Gee, I don't remember talk about an early deadline for this event. I think sunshine1259 (Brenda) is keeping the list for this event. Not sure where she is right now. She could be traveling. Haven't seen a post from her in a while.

Why not send her a PM? She can't miss it that way.

Any others out there considering this event? Lurkers? Help us out here...we could sure use some cabins in other categories to make this interesting.

We just signed up for the cruise today. Any chance we can join in the FE exchange? I just learned about this, and it sounds like so much fun. My daughter would have a blast!

 

[Rexie and Stitch]

Hi all..... my stepkids & their Mom are going on the cruise with you. They don't do DIS. I would like to make some magnets for their door & I'm trying to locate the logo(s) for your specific cruise. Could someone please point me in the right direction to download one?

My DH & I are on the 13th cruise so we'll be leaving the ship the same morning you all board. I will give the magnets & a nice tip to their cabin steward to have their door decorated when they board the ship. My stepson is 17 and is autistic. My stepdaughter is 23. She's a world traveler & would love to find others her age to hang out with.

I would have loved to have set them up with the fish extender game, but you all have cut off the game. If I am wrong about this please let me know & I'll get this going. I think my stepson would get a kick out of it.

Welcome to our cruise meet.
And welcome to the Disboards. Great first post !

Not sure about FE, as I am not a participant.

 

[Bear3412]

Hi all ....

Welcome to our cruise meet.

Only logo I know here on our meet is a T-Shirt logo. Can't find post.

I can't help with FE question. Someone else will chime in soon.

It's going to be a great cruise.

Oh, by the way, not all of us are beer conossierurers.
Some prefer the hard stuff, or Drink of the Day

No offense to the fine people here but i dont share the scotch or bourbon with anyone but my husband.

Don't be disappointed if this doesn't happen. Room Stewards are on a very very tight schedule to turn the ship around and they may not be able to take even the few minutes this takes.

Your DH is lucky- mine has his and I have mine......there is no bourbon co-mingling at our house. Eact their own and if you run out- tough luck buddy!

I'd be happy with more cabins joining. I'm not in charge of the list and FE planning though. Other DIS'ers might already have their final number of FE gifts ready to go. I'm prepared for more cabins joining just in case!

Anyone know what they are doing with people wanting to join after the cut off date? Was a third list in the works? If there are only a few more people could they be added in to the two lists?

Besides the FE, welcome new October 20th cruisers.

Welcome, We are not doing the FE and I believe Brenda is on vacation.

We are Joanne and Roger, traveling with our Disney friends, Kids are all grown and on their own( well most of the time)!!

Don't be disappointed if this doesn't happen. Room Stewards are on a very very tight schedule to turn the ship around and they may not be able to take even the few minutes this takes.

If they have their room number it would be worth a try to place the magnets yourself, and if you find the cabin steward let him know-if not leave a note for him/her. (I think they'd rather not take things down-it makes their lives much easier)

Brenda is back from vacation as of Saturday. I'm sure she will chime in very soon.

 

[lewiskids004]

Darn-I really thought I was gonna keep the FE gifts smaller this time, and I already have a suitcase full of stuff!!!! Well, as long as the recipients enjoy them and get some enjoyment out of them ,I will be happy.

I'm gonna be making more because our friends in another cabin are on the second list and she has asked me to make her gifts since she works so much. Oh well, today I'll be having fun making more stuff! Time to go shopping (bummer)

Can you believe we're just over 3 weeks til we get to leave for VACATION!?!??!

Looking for any girls around 9 years old to make friends for my daughter... anyone out there???

 

[Rexie and Stitch]

Thanks for the idea about leaving the magnets on their door myself! I hadn't thought about that. As for the FE, I don't want anyone going to any great lengths having to purchase more stuff or making extras. Maybe just those that want to swap with these 2 new rooms could send us pm messages or your cabin numbers? We have that with our cruise, a few are exchanging with newbies but not everyone. (we already have 51 cabins on our 3 lists plus a few newbies!)
