I'm wondering if there is a post somewhere listing out our 'group' events yet?

Laurel, check out post 6 for group events.

Thanks, Suzie! I saw the Meet, but have seen posts about tea, brunch, etc...we can start booking on 7/27 and I don't want to book a massage and end up missing out on the fun~

Was a decision made on the 'official' t-shirt color? First I saw green, then I heard Halloween colors???

Hey everyone,

Seeing all the posts about the 105 day bookings made it all really exciting and very real!! Can anyone who has access to the bookings let us know what is available for Grand Cayman? Just wondering if they posted times for excursions and stuff, where our day there is cut short?

Hopefully added link to my signature for the post about photo op. We talked on chat last night about cards vs phone calls, and the consensus was we thought it would be more fun to see a bunch of crazy people running around the ship delivering notices . Not to mention that it will mean another souvie for people! So please sign up if you're interested in getting in the pic!

Laurel - there was no final decision about t-shirt colors. It was decided to let everyone pick between traditional lime green, black or orange. In our family, we're doing 2 green and 2 black.

We are also down to double digits .

I believe there is a link to the cruise logo for those wanting to make their own shirts. Nothing was ever decided with shirts, etc.

Disney4dana has a list going for nametags (see post 6) that are on lanyards. They do look pretty cool and can be worn everyday (unlike tshirts - lol!). She does have a deadline for them, so let her know if you're interested.

Lovable Gluttons (Nicole) is in charge of the group brunch. Not sure if there is still room or not.

Janice has done a FABULOUS job with keeping all things cruise in post 6. (thank you, Janice!!) I do A LOT of referring back to it for information! She keeps it very up to date too!!

Hope you find all the info you need! If not, just ask away! Someone should be able to answer!!!

Valerie, that must have been before I popped in at midnight....I think I like the idea of the cards too. Souvenir, etc.

We're wearing Disney shirts of Mickey and Minnie's for our first day on board. Gott do the great photo op!! I couldn't find any green ones we all liked and DH laughed at me when I told him about doing our own shirts (You are not going to have time! It will not be to your standard and you will keep redoing it and getting more frustrated!). He really knows me waaaay too well! LOL! So, end of story on that.....less stress makes a more happy Suzie....Happy Suzie makes a fun cruise! (If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!!)

 

[disney4dana]

Are we addicted or what here we are back on today!

I did some shoppping today.. got our t-shirts and iron ons. Now just need to find the time. We are doing black and green. I happened to find a green I liked.

I love the idea of the the photo op...Thanks Val for taking this on.

Oh yeah, what did we volunteer Stefani for last nite?
I can remember it got so late. We better tell her soon.

We are up to 16 donors for the name tags. That gives up about 125-150 nametags/lanyards! The group is +250 so about half can get them! Thanks to all of those who volunteered to help out and be a donor! Anyone else interested there is still time to pitch in and be a donor!

Are we still talking about dividing the group into 2 smaller groups?
With all the packing issues I was entertaining the idea of joining if it was a smaller group.

One checked bag.....
formal dress, pirate costume, halloween costume, nametags, lanyards, TOT candy, FE

Not sure if there is room for other clothes. You might find me wandering the ship in costume or a formal gown!

[NewfieMom]

I actually remember what we volunteered Stef for after she left!! Point for me! It had to do with waking Amy up for breakfast!!

Just PM'd DreamCruiser100 (Pam) to ask her about the Trick or Treat planning. Will let everyone know what she says. I know from reading her last few posts that she's had a crazy year, but still wants to do the TOT - have heard such good things about what she pulled together last year, I'm REALLY hoping she'll be able to still do this years.

Valerie

 

[disney4dana]

That is right Valerie. I remember now. Seems like a simple job. Now that it is out here in the open~~She shouldn't be able to dodge this one



And Yes a point for you..but didn't suzie and I already concede?

Dana

 

[NewfieMom]

True - but it's not often I earn points for memory, so had to take that one

This may have been discussed somewhere already, and if so I apologize for missing it, but I'm confused as to which days we'll be at Cozumel and the Grand Cayman? On Disney's site is says:

Cruise Itinerary:
10/25/08, 11/22/08 and 12/20/08 Only Day Port Ashore Onboard
Saturday Port Canaveral
—
4:00 p.m.
Sunday Castaway Cay 8:30 a.m. 5:00 p.m.
Monday At Sea
—

—
Wednesday Cozumel 8:00 a.m. 4:45 p.m.
Tuesday Grand Cayman 11:00 a.m. 4:30 p.m.
Thursday At Sea
—

—
Friday Castaway Cay 9:30 a.m. 5:00 p.m.
Saturday Port Canaveral 7:35 a.m.
—

So it has Wednesday and Tuesday backwards, which if the days are correct and just out of order we would be at the Grand Cayman on Tuesday and Cozumel on Wednesday, which is what I expected. But when I look at Post 6 it has them reversed, Grand Cayman on Tuesday and Cozumel on Wednesday?

Which one is correct, and has anyone called Disney to verify?

Thanks.

 

[suziemva]

Dana, I think we should give Val a tiara "Queen of the Addicts"! What do you think? She's so far up in points, we're not even in the same county!

Yes, Stef was volunteered to wake up Amy for breakfast! Did we forget to tell her?! Oops!

Spacy9 - you are totally correct! They do have the days switched. Huh. Didn't see that before. Does anyone else have confirmation that had received notice from DCL? We still haven't gotten ANYTHING from them yet.

Night all! (this will be the first night in over a week I've gotten to bed before 2 am! WHOOHOO!!!)

Thanks! Would be nice if Disney fixed their site, I'm confused enough the way it is without Disney adding to it

I cant get over how busy you all are with the cruise stuff. I watch a total of 5 kids during the day and cant seem to get anything done. My DH isnt any help so its just me and my oldest DD doing all the stuff. Went to see Martina McBride last night, man oh man is she beautiful! It was a last min. thing and it was fun but................ It cut into our planning. I try to set aside time on Sundays for me and my oldest but it just never seems to work out. Oh well. At least we have the count down right.

I really want to join in on all the fun you all are planning but my DH will not have any of it. He says "hes on vacation to relax not meet people." Not really sure where I found him. No, I love him a ton and we have a great time but he is really shy and doesnt really like to meet new people. He is having a hard time with having to sit with another family for dinner. oh well, he will have to get over that one, we are just gonna have a good time without him.

ok hope everyone has a great week!

Sounds like your DH and my DH should get together!!! He is the same way, I am just going to spring all these meets on hims when we are on our way to each one!!! He also just wants to relax and keep to himself. Since they sound alike, maybe we can convince them both to meet each other We just gotta keep having meets at the bar - he will be sure to go to the bar with me!!!

Hi Dana

We will be splitting the groups for Fish Extenders as we do have a LOT of paticipating cabins - at the moment we are looking at either 2 groups of approx 15 cabins or 3 groups of approx 10 cabins!

The cut off date for joining the FE Exchange needs to be decided upon - what do you think about 1st September - that would give us about 6 weeks to get our gifts together as we will then know the numbers of children etc.

What do you all think!

 

[jns]

I've updated the getting to know us thread Bio anyone else wanting to share about them selves or add your photo to the Our Dis Family Album

and if anyone wants the large size of our logo please PM me your email address and I'll get it too you

 

[jns]

here is the logo from last years cruise
some one kindly got them printed out at work so we all had them on our cabin doors

think the date was on the ones printed out
