Panama Canal Eastbound Sept. 14, 2013--it'll be WONDER-ful

[Dagny]

I would love to know if the Outdoor Adventure for Puerto Vallarta is available for our cruise. Thanks so much for offering to look. I don't book until next month so I'm on pins and needles. Patience is not one of my strong suits!

We signed up for that one - it looks awesome!

So if they gave member points for staying on Disney property Shelby and I would be super duper platinum or something higher. Off this weekend for 24 hrs of Disney. So afraid the park will black out if we leave. I don't know if I could stay up 24 hrs straight. I'm practicing my sleeping now.

Sure - I added several today. I'm thinking Facebook might be easier to upload logo ideas as well for name tags. I have even had groups do a t shirt on cafe press in the past. I think with this being a longer cruise we have the opportunity to have time to do more as a group. We have just had challenges with original leaders changing plans.

Another idea for wine tasting - in the past we did cabin tours (although I think most of our cruisers have done this enough times to know the cabins) but we could 'host' a wine in each cabin and have it like a pub crawl. I think we could have fun running all over the ship and the host might even have snacks (Cheese Platters from room service or chips from home)

Can you add me on FB. Sharan Simmers Fosbinder. I put in a request but nothing yet. That was about 2 weeks ago.

Ditto. I just checked and my request is showing pending as well

Hi guys!

I'm Lisa. I will be traveling with my two kids DD (7) and DS (4). My parents are coming too. My DH couldn't take that much time off work. He's in a new job. Although, I don't feel too bad for leaving him. We did the PC in December 2012 with him. We loved it so much that I decided to bring my parents. My DS cried as we were getting off the ship back then. Although, I reminded him it was Christmas Eve the next day. We just love DCL! This will be my 8th Disney cruise and my parents 2nd. So, if anyone has any questions I'd love to help out. Although, we did Costa Maya instead of Cozumel. Is there somewhere I should look for what all you guys are doing? I didn't get to read through all the pages.

Thanks!

I'm a little confused. A couple of pages back Mommaluvsdis posted the available adventures and the one you signed up for isn't on it. Do you have a different list? If so, is the Tropical Rainforest by Horseback trip on it? Thanks.

Glad you are joining us.

As of right now we have the FE exchange, a postcard/recipe exchange, and a wine tasting event. There is also a FB page and a meet being organized. Also we are open to other suggestions.

My hubby and I did that in Belize. I got bit by bugs so bad. You forget to spray the underside of your arms. I was miserable. One funny thing is my husband's horse dumped him in a mud puddle and I was video taping him. What a hoot that was.

Hi Folks, I have created a google doc (mostly for my own organization). It is based off of TwoKat's most recent "roll call". It is an open document and anyone can edit the document. I am honestly not sure which cabins have agreed to participate in the F/E and the Recipe Exchanges so I thought this might be a good way for everyone to keep track of who is participating I added a column for the Wine Tasting as well just in case it might be helpful for Kathy. Please feel free to add your information to ensure that everyone is captured properly. If I missed you, I am very sorry.

There is also a second spreadsheet for the Private Palo brunch. As of today, it looks like we have room for 2 more. I am still waiting for confirmation from Disney on the availability (which has been requested for September 24th or September 25th (after we have gone through the canal). Please do not cancel any personal Palo reservations until I confirm ours. Questions? Feel free PM me or post here!!!

Hey there! We booked the Extreme Canopy Adventure, which is what I thought they used to call the Outdoor Adventure.

I do not see a Tropical Rainforest Horseback in PV though, sorry

 

[grlzmom]

Hi! Just booked this one, will be me, dd12 and ds10. At this point hubbie will be staying home with the other kids but if schedules change will try to add him later.

Would love to join the FE exchange and the FB page if possible.

My FB is Jeanne Chapman Simons

Looking forward to meeting fellow cruisers and hopefully the kids making some new cruise friends!

Thank you for the effort, but it is totally unnecessary. My list for each of the activities is also on google doc and will be distributed to the participants in the next week or so. It is only distributed to those involved in each activity, since there are usually individuals that want their information not readily available. As I said thank you for the effort, but I do have this covered.

We are so glad you are joining us. Now that we are all paid up and counting down the days to booking our excursions, it is really feeling close.

Right now we are just so busy watching the weather with all the tornadoes that have been in our area and up in Oklahoma. Prayer out to any and all that have family and/or friends in those areas that have been hit.

Thanks! I was hoping there might have been a mistake. Oh well...

The Extreme Canopy Adventure looks awesome, but I'm afraid my bad knee wouldn't do well with all the hiking that's involved.

 

[Denine]

Welcome new cruisers!

grlzmom: My daughter will be turning 11 on the cruise.

No worries, I went back and (attempted) to read most of this thread and I didn't see any reference to your google doc. I certainly wasn't doubting that you had it covered, was actually just trying to be helpful. Sorry if you took it differently.
