Should I be worried that I haven't received any Mickey mail for the crusie?

I would call if it doesn't come this week. From what I understand, it's not actually necessary, but who doesn't want Mickey Mail

Thanks....I will give it until this week. I check the mail everyday and just get so sad when there is only junk mail and bills.

Tracey - we'll be at MK on Sept 6th as well

You guys will be missing all the fun on Saturday, lol!!

BTW, those of us that are going to be in the MK on Saturday are we all still good to meet in Frontierland at 3:30?? I know we originally said 3, but the parade needs time to clear out.

Please let me add to the ice cream social reminder - everyone is welcome to attend. You don't have to eat ice cream, bring toppings or sign up. We would love for you to stop by and say, "Hi".

Don't you all have so much fun on Saturday and break my park!! I hate we'll miss you by a day! We'll be at downtown Disney and hanging at the pool on Saturday. Making the long drive straight through on Friday. Not looking forward to the 10+ hours on the road. Worth the price though.

Yay!! Happy mom here!! I showed Caleb the picture of the pirate costumes I'm making for us, and he said that he could do that. So excited!!! He is kind of shy and very quiet. He doesn't like to draw attention to himself so this is BIG! He even wants an eye patch and clip on earring!!!

I need to get my Amazon order going or I'll run out of time!! Ordering red sashes that look like they are supposed to be for chair sashes. Most of the reviews are people who used them on their Disney cruise, lol! Also found Terry some pirate pants. The rest of us have everything we need.

We'll be at downtown Disney Saturday too. Our flight arrives early afternoon, too late to really do anything else. Our plans sound like yours... DTD and hotel pool.

That is awesome. My Carly is like your Caleb. When she told me she wanted a princess outfit for the cruise I just about fainted. I still don't think she'll wear it, but she has one now. She doesn't want any undo attention. Lyla on the other hand acts like a run way model most of the time.

I also plan on hitting the Disney outlet. There are 2 in Orlando, but one of them is closed. I can't remember if it's the good one that's closed or not.

Which one is closed? We plan to go there too but I don't know which one. Hubby said they were pretty much the same.

 

[butsy113]

I think she meant close?!? Months ago people were talking on here and I believe the one that was close was the good one.

I think one was a Disney outlet and the other called the Character store or something. One is at Vineyard or Vines outlet. Something like that. I've heard 1 is dirty (like not clean), but can't remember which one had better prices. I need to write down the address for the one that is still open. I don't think the other one is going to open back up until October or something. I'll post the correct details once I find them

I know! It would have been fun if all of us ended up at MK at the same time.

According to this link there are 4 different character stores.

I called the outlet at the Orland international outlet - they are closed for refurbishing and will open later in 2015. In their message they said to visit the outlet at Vineland Outlet or the store in Sawgrass Mills Mall.

Does anyone have gift ideas besides candy for the kids counselors I saw they are not allowed tips on the other site and wanted to give them something for taking care of my munchkins (and about what ages are these people) I was thinking maybe some extra of my adult FE gifts?

I'd say most of the counselors are early 20's. I've heard that the cabins for the crew are tiny. I heard that while we were on our trip last year. I went home and found a video tour of the crew cabins. They have very little storage. Because of that most people appreciate consumables and cash. I do like the idea of using extra adult FE gifts though!

Is this something new? I have always given cash on the last day of the cruise. I have never been on Disney so not sure if it is just them. Are they not able to at least pull the money together and divide it? I wonder how we could get a statement or exact details on the acceptance of cash.
