Hi Cheryl,

Why don't you wear some black pants and shoes with your pirate shirt and a sash at your waist. That's what I'm planning on doing. I froze last time on the cruise by wearing sleeveless dresses, so this time I am bringing 2 pairs of black pants and several nice shirts to wear on the non-formal nights.

Hey everyone 2 months from now at this time we will be sailing on the Magic!!! I have been driving my DD crazy today because all day long I have been saying, 2 months from now at this time we will be _____ lol

Julie thanks for the idea about the pants and sash. I was actually thinking about bringing either some balck or brown dress pants that I could wear one of the non-formal nights and maybe to brunch at Palo and they would actually work for MNSSHP too because they are very comfortable but I'll probably ruin the look by wearing my tennis shoes to MNSSHP because I need comfy shoes for walking around the Magic Kingdom all night, or maybe I could wear my brown Crocs that night, that would prabably look better than white tennis shoes.

I am going to get us pirate t-shirts to wear at MSSHP that we will wear on pirate night also. I did see a shirt on line at the disney store for women that I liked. I am going to wear black shorts. The guys jean shorts.

How many of us are going to the MSSHP fri ? How does a mini meet before the cruise sound? Let me know maybe we can meet for the Parade.

Our family is doing MNSSHP , also, but we aren't going until 10/31. We can hear all about it on the cruise from the rest of you!!!

Hey guys, was poking around the different websites for the ports, and found out that Fantasy Fest will be in its third day when we get to Key West. From what I could tell it looks to be a "little racy", especially for kids.

I posted a question in the main area about this event and if anyone has been to it.

I'm trying to get a feel if we need to stay on the ship or venture out until it becomes uncomfortable.... What do you guys think?

I read the other thread, it seems things won't start getting "racy" until after we leave (the following Saturday). So it should be safe.

We went on this same cruise at the same time two years ago and never saw anything. We weren't looking for it though. I think it wasn't close enough to Halloween and we weren't in town in the evening hours. If we happen to see anything it will be good dialouge to explain to dd11 why body paint is NOT considered appropriate clothing!
But for those who DO want to participate, I really don't think much will be going on before we have to re-board.

I posted something about Fantasy Fest on the main cruise board a while back ...maybe Jan. or Feb.

I don't remember the details, but I do remember that whatever the reply was, I was no longer worried about exposing my 2 sweet DDs (and DH ) to Fantasy Fest.

I think is isn't really in effect when we are there.

Who is excited about this cruise. We've all got our formal gear finally!!! Can't wait. My little DD who is almost 4 was doing a Disney Cruise dance today

I just helped my ds9 post a new thread for kids on our cruise in the cruise meets. If anyone has kids that would like to chat with each other, please check it out! I wish I had done this sooner. We only have 8 weeks left!!!!
shoutout to Rachel from Adam!

Susan, Julie, I think you guys are right, from what I can tell from the posts for Shirley (The Perfect Gift) that most of the "naughty stuff" will most likely happen in the later evenings and later on in the week after we're on our way back.

We have always wanted to go down to Key West with our RV, but it would take us a couple of days to get there from NC. This way we can check out the area without driving all that far. But you best believe I'm gonna keep my eyes open for any "funny business" that may be going on. In this day and time people don't need an organized event such as Fantasy Fest to act like idiots.

But as for getting excited, the DW and I were laying the bed last night reading all of the past trip reports from previous cruisers. Kind of like a real life bed time story....

Hi Everyone,
We will be joining you as well on this cruise. There are Six of us. My Husband, Myself, 4 year old Son, 2.5 year old Daughter and my In Laws. We have never taken a DC this will be our first.

Welcome Samantha and family. You are going to have the time of your life! I too have a 4 year old son so I'm sure they'll be in the Oceaneer's club together. Let us know if you have any questions...we have been on one DC before (2 years ago and the Eastern) and everyone else on this board is so helpful! See you soon.

 

[bschiffler]

This will be our first Disney Cruise. We are DH, DW, DS (5) and DD (2 1/2). We are so excited. Cat 5/late dining.

 

[sami90tsi]

I have a question maybe you both will know. My DD is going to be 2 years 9 months when we cruise. I have read that they might let them into the Club if they are potty trained and withing 1 month of their birthday. Do you know if they make exceptions? And if not will she like the Nursery? This is our first DC, so we haven't a clue as to what to expect. We took Carnival's Legend last year and it was a big disappointment. We also have the late seating for dinner. I read that we would have to see the shows before dinner.

 

[DisneyZell]

As far as the club goes, they might let you do a trial run to see if that works out for your daughter, and if they have room. My 7 year old will be a few days shy of turning 8, but we plan on putting him in the Lab which starts at 8 years old. If they will not take her in the Club, I think she would enjoy Flounders...my 2 1/2 year old liked it when he was in there. We even have a picture on him on Snow White's lap when she made a visit to the little ones in the nursery. We are also in the late dinner seating, but are waitlisted for early seating. With late, you do see the shows before dinner, and for a few shows, you can go to a matinee (around 2:00). Having late isn't too bad, except that my kids get so hungry that they end up snacking before dinner and then they don't eat dinner! But, it is vacation, so we'll just play it by ear! Oh, and a big welcome to bschiffler, we're so glad to have you join us.

 

[Smooch]

I'm a little nervous about my ds2 liking flounder's as well. My plan is to leave him at the drop-in daycare at the gym a couple times before the trip so I can gauge his reaction. I read that you can take kids under 3 to the oceaneer club if they are able to use the potty, wash hands, and undress/dress themselves independently.

Welcome to all our new cruise buddies!

 

[sami90tsi]

We are potty training my daughter now and she is going to start pre school in September so I am keeping my fingers crossed about the Club.

 

[bschiffler]

I too will have a 2 year 9 month old girl on the cruise. I am going to get her potty trained....at least give it a shot...so she can maybe go in with the 3 and 4 year olds. I think she is going to be really bored in the nursery!

We also have late dining and yes I heard we have to see the shows first.

 

[sami90tsi]

When is your DD Birthday? My DD birthday is Valentine's Day. That will be great the two of them the same age. I am curious if the 3 year old club is full? And what are our chances of getting them in the club?

 

[sami90tsi]

Hey J&AMOM, where in NY are ya? We are in Middletown.
