October 5, 2008 Wonder Cruise!

[yellowfish78]

Have you guys found the magnetic door sign thread yet? And don't forget to head over to the DISigns Thread too to get cruise ideas. It's really easy to make your own shirts with iron on transfers (and they are so cheap and easy to do!) Just explore it and you'll find ALOT of designs to pic from. They'll even customize too. Just remember that everything has to be magnetic for the door - they don't allow tape anymore due to damage.

No, matching shirts won't look dorky on a 30 year old. The day after I got engaged at the MK, I wore a shirt that had Tigger on it and it said "Bob's Girl" that one of the girls from the DISign boards made for me. (My fiance is Bob!) You'd be suprised at how many great comments we got! We walked through the turnstyles at EPCOT and everyone said "Hi Bob!" and "Hi Bob's Girl!" It was hilarous because he hates attention!

Personalized/matching outfits be great for the first picture that you get right before you get on the cruise!

...and be nice to TA's on this thread! I understand the control issue that a lot of people have - but some TA's are wonderful!

Thanks for the encouragement! DH thinks I have gone mad with the DCL fever!! Although, with such little kids I think they will love dressing up alike, and that's good enough reason for me! I have no problem with TA's at all, I have never had a bad experience or anything. It is more of a not being in control issue with me.....it's quite ridiculous actually! Dh wants a TA who can help us with making the most of our limited time in WDW and give us some guidance, so we'll see what we end up doing. I wish I knew someone personally instead of getting a random TA. Anywho, I have seen the magnetic door sign thread and am so inspired! I am really into scrapbooking, so I am all over the door signs!! Have a good day girls!!

Have you visited Tour Guide Mike's website yet? He's worth EVERY PENNY!

 

[sandybobandy]

Hey guys!

Heather-I'm no WDW expert by any means but having gone a good handful of times, I'm sure between Chanon and I we can help you out almost as much as a TA could. I swear!

I've never been on TGM's website. Was deliberating trying it out for our upcoming trip but with the mixture of low crowds and having so little waits in the past years, we're going to skip it.

Hope you guys have a great weekend!!!
Sandy

I'm off to (yet another!) wedding today so I won't be around much either! LAST WEDDING OF THE YEAR! At least of my friends! I wanna get started on mine!

Have a great sunny weekend everyone!

 

[yellowfish78]

Well, I'm off the "cruise planning" box for a while and currently working on limos, florists and my dress. I think I'd rather be planning my cruise. I'm shocked at the cost of a limo for 4 hours! One is $800!

 

[heatherplus3]

I know! It's seriously nuts, everything involved with a wedding automatically triples what you think it would cost! It's crazy! Glad you survived "wedding season", it will be so exciting next year when it's you!

 

[sandybobandy]

Hey guys! Hope you're well!

Am really way too excited for this year's trip. It's all I can think about! Just wait til after this trip....then it's going to be allllll about the cruise! Can't wait.

Planning my wedding was really so much fun. Sounds like things are going great, Chanon! Our limo was around the same cost. Crazy, but soooo worth it.

Have a great night!

 

[yellowfish78]

Any new exciting cruise plans yet?? (Just trying to occasionally stay on topic! )

 

[sandybobandy]

Okay Chanon, I know you're off the cruise soap box, but was hoping I could ask you something-have you ever added the Romance Escape At Sea package? I'm hoping to add it once it's available to book for next year but was hoping maybe you could tell me about it.

Thanks-have a great night!

 

[sandybobandy]

Oh hey Heather! It bothers me that I don't always get thread notifications to my email. Drives me NUTS!

Anyway, no...haven't made any cruise preparations lately. I'm dying to start researching excursion stuff but ya know what? Honestly, I really don't know what type of excursions we're going to do...if any. Something tells me we'll be just as content staying on the ship.

What about you? Any new plans?

 

[yellowfish78]

Nope no new plans for me! Yet! Just still working on some door signs. Playing with ideas/clipart. Waiting for the Oct 08 football game schedule before I plan something for Bob - poor thing might miss a game!

No idea on what 08 will be for the Romance at Sea, but do you have the 07 info? It's stayed the same for 06 to 07; the price might be higher. And you should be able to add it now. Let me go find the info on that just in case...

 

[yellowfish78]

Here's the "Honeymoon at Sea" package:
On board, you'll receive:
Romantic gift amenity delivered to your stateroom (one per package)
Tropical Rain Forest pass for two at the Vista Spa & Salon (length of cruise)
Priority Seating at Palo with a bottle of wine from the Premium Wine List (one night)
Romance turndown service (one night)
Champagne breakfast in bed (one morning)*
*Guests must be 21 years or older. For guests not 21 years of age, a non-alcoholic alternative is provided
$1,237

 

[yellowfish78]

I couldn't find anything on the Romance at Sea package. And I think you have to call to add the either of these - I don't think it's bookable online...

Hey girls! Our new thing is we switched cabins from 8048 to 8034 (one of the midship triple wide ones). The mid ship cat 3 are supposed to go quick but luckily there was still one left. We were thinking about doing the historic nassau excursion but everyone said it was pretty much a bust. I think we'll stay on the ship in Nassau and do some fun stuff in CC. Can you tell I am obsessing?!! We are also trying to decide about Cinderella's Royal Table in MK. Our kids will be 6 and 3, but I don't know if it's worth 2 TS credits on the dining plan. The ambience looks awesome but I don't know if the kids would be about the food. We could do 2 charcter meals instead. Hmmm What to do... Have a good day!!

 

[sandybobandy]

Hi Heather! We're considering staying onboard during Nassau too. Nothing has really jumped out at me. We'll likely explore CC but the other stuff, I'm not sure about.

We've never done CRT but I've heard tons of good things about it. Then again, if you do say...Chef Mickey's and Liberty Tree on a MNSSHP night, that would be a ton of fun too. I'd more lean towards the character meals but that's because the Princesses don't do much for me.

I'm off to fix dinner-have a good night!

 

[yellowfish78]

I agree! Skip Cinderella's Royal Table. If you really wanna see Cindy, head over to 1900 Park Fare for dinner. Better food and you get to see Prince Charming!
The only thing Bob and I are going to do on Nassau is horseback riding - and that starts at 9 and is over by 11:30a. Enough time for a late lunch at Palo!
Heather - glad you got the new room! I was gonna ask you about your room - wondering if you had a master with a murphy bed or if you got one of the lucky rooms. Looks like you lucked out!

 

[sandybobandy]

Good morning! Hope you guys are having a great weekend!

Joe and I bought a new camera last night for our trip this year. It's reallllly cool and much needed upgrade from what we originally had. Can't wait to take some pics this year-we only have 66 days to go! I can't wait. I really can't. It's alllll I think about. Planning the cruise after this trip is going to be a ton of fun too.

I checked out the thread of dissers that are cruisng this year (10/20 I think) and they booked all their excursions this morning at 3am. They're all so excited it's cute. lol It'll be fun when it's us able to book our fun stuff!

Have a great Sunday!

 

[yellowfish78]

Guess what ladies?? I found my dress!!!

 

[sandybobandy]
