Hi everyone! It has taken me 3 days to catch up but I am still here.
Hey Allen, did you order these? I love this idea. We've had them on previous cruises and they really help us identify our dis family.
I agree, but there has been very little interest expressed in them so I haven't ordered any yet. It's not to late though.
We are flying in from Nashville on Fri and staying at the Residence Inn. Are you all staying close by? Would love to maybe do a pre cruise meet at a hotel.
We are staying @ Country Inns & Suites and would be glad to meet you that evening. A few years ago, we had a party around the pool @ CI&S. We could do that again after dinner @ Fishlips. OR if anyone is staying @ the Radisson, they have pool side beverage center!! 
Hi Susan! On my last cruise we planned to meet on the ship but we all ended up meeting at the terminal.
There were about 50 of us who just had to get to the ship by noon.
Would love to do this.
Count me in!
If we want to do it as a group, we can actually contact Disney and have them set up a class for just us if there are 25 people. At least that is what we were able to do last year. We did a survey of our group to determine which class we wanted (mixology, beer, wine, etc.) and gave our name and room # to Disney so they could charge the $25 to our room. Not sure if anyone would be interested in doing a tasting with just the dis group?
Just a thought.
I'm in for mixology or the wine tasting, not interested in the beer. I have a very simple taste for light summer beer!!
We always rent a car at MCO the day before, stay at the hotel and then dh drops the kids and I off at the port. He returns the car and takes the shuttle.
No need to stand in the long line at the port for the kid clubs.
Welcome! I am sure that dd(6) will have a blast with Emma Jane!
Also, regarding the cabanas- when I checked in there weren't any left. I emailed Disney a couple of weeks ago and asked for one and was given #10. While I do believe this only happened because we are sailing concierge, who knows? I would keep calling them in addition to checking online.
I'm hoping I can get on a waiting list for one @ Serenity Bay.
Looking forward to being on here more now that summer is almost over and kids are headed back to school!
and then your truck getting broken into and your accident, I am glad that you were not injured and you walked away from it. I know too well how stressful accidents can be during and after. I hope all works out well for you. The cruise will mean so much more now, a great vacation that you can enjoy with your family
Here's some pixie dust to help you get to the cruise
we have a reservation @ Fishlips for 5pm. If you will be in the area and would like to join us for supper and or a beverage
