Roll Call for the Disney Magic Western Carrib. Jan 28/2006

Squid - Looks just like my email. Thanks for posting. I think I was quoted $200 more for the Western, but I don't remember if it was stateroom or person.

Hi Everyone - I hope to make the welcome aboard variety show this trip. So much to see and do the 1st night.

After much discussion, we have finally decided what we are doing on Nassau. I called DCL and we are expected to dock at 1100. Too late to do the one excursion that I was going to book. My kids aren't much into just laying on the beach, so we are going to Atlantis. They will love the pools and the slides...Like a water park, and that to them is a vacation. Since we can't do the scuba/snorkel thing on Cozumel this time, I think this will be great for them...

I didn't want to risk waiting to see if we could get a day room, since we are arriving so late, so I booked at the Comfort Suites. We probably wont even see the room, but it will get us into the fun stuff at Atlantis. This actually ended up being cheaper than booking the Atlantis DCL excursion for the 4 of us, go figure. Even though we are on our own for lunch and transportation. DH kept saying it seems too good to be true. Now we are excited about Nassau too

Good Morning - I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. We had a dusting of snow Wednesday night and it was fun watching it come down. Ofcourse I could enjoy it since I didn't have to go anywhere!

Morning Everyone,

I just booked a tour for Grand Cayman with Native Way. Now just need some pixie dust for great weather, and smooth seas!

 

[dobelover]

Sounds great! What will you be doing?





Sue

 

[ddavis860]

It's called "Rays, Reef, and Rum Point". It goes to Stingray Sand Bar, Barrier Reef to snorkel, and Rum Point Beach for lunch, more snorkel, and beach time. Cost is $60 for adults. We have done the Disney Excursions on our last cruises , and this time I wanted to try something ...ummmm... well, smaller .

 

[ddavis860]

I just saw on another post how different DIS cruisers have worn things to identify each other . The color of the DIS boards is lime green, and some had pins made, others had tee shirts, and some had those rubber bracelets made. One that caught my eye was the Disney paint chips from Home Depot in lime green made into pins.

Anyone interested in doing something like this so we can introduce ourselves when we are at the terminal, and onboard? I know I'll be making some paint chips into magnets for the door, along with my door signs, but it would be cool to be able to say Hi to the other DISers

Good morning to all, counting down the days!! Dobelover, we are taking the autotrain on the return, on Sat. we took the autotrain last year. Maybe will see you there! 58 days!!

I am not a good organizer but I am a GREAT follower. I am interested but have no idea how to start. I was planning on bringing magnet letters, spelling our names, for the door.

Wonderful! We have lower reserved seating. I was told the bathroom is on the lower level so my Mom won't have to do many steps. Did you get a room? Are the seats preassigned? Should we bring snacks? Do you mind if I keep asking ?????????




Sue

 

[ddavis860]

I'm making door signs using the magnetic signs that I got at Walmart. I will have extra, so I can use my xyron to make the paint chips sticky, stick them on the magnetic sheet, and then cut them out. It would probably be easy to do the same kind of thing to make pins with them too.

I don't mind being an organizer...or as DH calls me "an instigator". I could put in an order for something if you guys are interested. I looked at the DIS shop and they have a few things listed, but when I tried the email to ask for availability, the mail was returned...

 

[dobelover]

That sounds great to me. There are 6 of us who would love buttons.



Thank you, Sue

Hi Ya'll

I'm sure I checked in here a few months ago probably, but I'll re-introduce myself. I'll be on the cruise with 3 daughters (22, 16, 15).

Anybody have any info on the rooms at the Radisson. I just checked, and they are a LOT higher than last year! We paid 119 then, and today the cheapest was 169??

Are you having a meet somewhere?

 

[ddavis860]

I was pricing how much the pins would cost for me to make vs. having an order of those silicone wristbands with something like "Magic Western Cruise 1/28/06" (I think it will all fit). The cost is actually higher for me to make pins, even with my Mike's discount. Anyone interested in having green bracelets made? Bands are about $1.00 each plus shipping from the company that was used by another board member. Depending on how many you need, an addressed stamped envelope might be enough to get them shipped off to you. PM me if you have any questions.

As for the Cruise Meet, we could meet on Deck 10 Midship before the Drill...say at 3:00 just to say Hi? That seems to be what others have done, and seems to work out OK. Any other ideas?

 

[dobelover]

That sounds great! I will get a box of bubbles to pass out.




Sue

 

[ddavis860]

Yay, I love doing to bubble thing too!!

The sizes of the bracelets are:

Large: 8 3/8"
Med: 7 3/8"
Child: 5 7/8"

The minimum order is 20 of each size. $1.00 each and .13 shipping from the company (I priced a count of 60).

Anyone have a catchy phrase? There is a limit of 25 characters and spaces. We can't use "Disney", copyright stuff, but others have used "Dizney". Or a play on Magic...like MAGICal Cruise 1/28/06...

I'd like to put the order in around 12/26, but I need to make sure the company is open during that week, We might have to change the cut off date. That gives a few weeks to get them shipped and then for me to mail them. If I ordered them today, the estimated arrival date is 12/15, about a 2 week turn around. We are leaving early before the cruise to visit family, so I need to mail them by 1/16. That gives almost 2 weeks for them to get to everyone.

So, I guess the next step is PM me what sizes you want, and how many of each size. Then I'll PM back my address and you can send me a check or use paypal. Is that OK with everyone?

 

[fireplug]

Hi gang, sorry I have been so stinkin busy I havent been here much. Iwill try and visit more often in the next few weeks. We have two frineds sailing with us Dale and Karen. Hopefully we will get together with you all SOMETIME on the cruise!
Now that we are booked onto the DVC cruise for 2006 I can really concentrate on this one.
