Welcome aboard, Liz and Megan! We booked our Vancouver hotel today, I am so excited. We booked using Hotwire, and will be staying in the Sutton Place Hotel. We will be arriving on Sunday 5/15, (ONE SHORT MONTH AWAY!), and doing some sightseeing before we board. CAN.NOT.WAIT. I am not going to be very productive at work for the next few weeks, UGH!

I visited the May 3 thread, since they will be the only ones who can give us any hints about what to expect. WOW!! Check this post out: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=40743314&postcount=2353

There must be wayyyyy more people on that cruise than on ours! Is there any way we can pull our information together in one post? With links to all the important stuff?? Like how do we make our shirts, for example....where does each image go??

If Nick doesn't want to include any more in his post, we can start building one here, what do you think??

(BTW Liz, the FE list is on page 5!)

Am I excited? Can you tell???

Hey the Mickey head will need to go over the left hand side of the front of the shirts over the chest. The image of the wonder will be on the back of the shirts. I adjusted the sizes so that they should fit however if they need for be resize for the kids then let me know.

Our cruise is pretty empty - I am thinking some great deals to be had on at the port upgrades???
If DCL is smart they will put me in a verandah so I am totally addicted to it and can't imagine cruising without one! lol

 

[magicimaginear]

Agreed about the verandah but you should get at least a 10c. PM me your email and I will make you a set of mickey ears for you and your daughter. It case you haven't heard we are making tshirts for this cruise that we are calling "Pirates of the Inside Passage"

[magicimaginear]

I can still do them. After you've posted 10 times you can PM me with your names and an email.

Got invited over here by magicimaginear Thanks

We will be sailing along with all of you in just over one month We cruised Disney once before in 2007. I was looking for some type of nice but cheap holiday to take the kids on and then this one turned up

Never done it before but think our kids would love to get little treats when we come back to the room occasionaly so please sign us up for the FE list
Matt (36)
Thina(36)
Keyano(13) DS
Mateaka(8) DD
Our cabin number is #6049

We are from Alberta Canada our spring is about 3 weeks behind here don't know if it's that way on the coast aswell but be sure to bring a warm coat for out on the deck.


Now I got to figure out what to use for our fish extender???

Not to much planned for tours yet gets expensive really fast with the 4 of us especially when they charge full price for 13 year olds. My son actually wants to go go-carting so been trying to find one but no luck yet(I know not the Alaska experiance but it's something he loves)

 

[littleprince]

thanks. we just booked the cruise!!!! i'm so excited

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

So glad to see another teen on the cruise! My daughter will be 15 on the cruise! So excited!

 

[long_time_cruiser]

Anyone else have input on the May 1st cut-off date for the FE?

May 1st is fine. Also, Victoria is the person in our cabin celebrating finishing her master's degree and we have the late dining.

 

[JTN2005]

We just made our shirts! They look great! Thank you magicimagineer! We are so excited about this cruise.!

 

[nick.turpchinoff]

I have updated the FE List [Page 5] to reflect the two new additions and added other information given from other staterooms.

The FE deadline is set for: May 1st at 11:59:59 PM

NOTE: If I have left off ANY information on the FE list, please let me know!
I am trying to add dining times and celebrations on top of the usual of stateroom number, names, ages.

 

[magicimaginear]

Cool, I haven't had a chance to make our own yet.

We just made our shirts! They look great! Thank you magicimagineer! We are so excited about this cruise.!

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

A lot of stateroom categories are gone today compared to what was there yesterday - lots of verandah, but all that is left is IGT for inside and 9B GTY. No room assigned for me yet - fingers crossed for a really amazing upgrade to a verandah because they don't know where else to stick us!

 

[JTN2005]

Magicimagineer,

My wife cannot remember if she asked you or not. At your convenience coud you send us 1 more "mickey head" with the name Nancy on it. Thank you very much for your time and effort.

 

[magicimaginear]

Done, let me know that you got it.

Magicomagineer,

Thank you very much! We got it. We are planning on wearing them the first day of the cruise.

I thought I remembered reading about a place and time for all of us to meet after we board...but I can't find the message now. What are the plans so far?

Promenade lounge before muster drill. I saw it in one of the threads. Its a good spot to meet and a great time for people to hand off any room number changes if you happen to have one (if you upgrade at the port or something).

I think I have checked my reservation 40 times in 2 days hoping to see a stateroom number -I know it probably would not go on during a weekend, and more likely a weekday, but I can't stop peeking and hoping!
I guess my docs might show up this week via courier!
