Lots of people are doing both as John and I are doing both. but it also makes a nice way for those not doing the FE to contribute to a DIS activity.

Got your paypal e-mail. Went through here so you should have your payment. Thanks so much for making the lanyards!

 

[TotallyAngelic]

Where are you going to be up here in Yorkshire. I think the weather should be ok for you.

Just outside of Howarth.

Welcome aboard!! We are Noel and John and this will be our 5th cruise on DCL. Our last cruise was the 2010 WBTA so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask or PM me.

I did send you a message about lanyards, pins and going to Bucks!! My SIL lives in Danville and lives on Adagio Drive!! If you keep posting here, I am sure you will hit the magic post 10 quite quickly!!

Please check this first page link of the thread to orient yourself about the cruise, DIS members on the cruise and all the activities planned.

To help you with all the activities that are planned, here is some information to help you decide if you want to participate:

01. If you are interested in participating in the Fish Extender Exchange (FE), please PM Pat (PFlamingo) with the following details:
Send her your stateroom number, Disboard name, first name of each person in the stateroom, realtionship to you (DH, DW, DD, DS, etc) ages and gender of children. You can cut and paste the format below.
Stateroom #:
Disname:
First name:
Age:
Disname:
First name:
Age:

02. If people are interested in being in the same area as other DIS'ers to send Dan (Cliffy97) a PM with Lead Passenger name, your booking number and if you are Early or Late seating. Dan was told by Disney today that this is all they need to put folks together. .

03. If you are interested in the Candy Swap, please PM Jacqueline (goofieslonglostsis).

04. If you are interested in Secret Mickey Exchange, please PM Karen (karentan).

05. If you are interest in getting a WBTA lanyard, please PM Noel (birkner). See this lanyard link for example of the previous 2010 WBTA lanyard.

Hopefully, a group of DISers will volunteer to underwrite the lanyards as they did last year so they will be free to the rest of the DISers. We already have several people offering to be part of the lanyard underwriting group. If you wish to join, please send Noel (Birkner) a PM. If we get enough members, the cost should be $10 or less per member.

06. If you are interested in a WBTA lanyard pin, please PM Noel (birkner). See this pin link for example of the previous 2010 WBTA pin.Cost will be approximately 4,5 or 5 Euros per pin.

07. If you are interested in purchasing a WBTA t-shirt printed with a variation of the cruise meet logo, Karen (Pixie_Dust_For_Me) has kindly offered to organise this for our cruise. Price will be approximately $7 per t-shirt, and sizes range from Youth XS (size 2) to Youth XL; Adult S to Adult 4XL.

08. If you are interested in participating in a Mickey Mouse Club night, please check out this Mickey Mouse club post.

09. I am thinking of organizing the same tour I did last year in Madeira. Here is the Madeira link to a PDF file that gives more information about the 2010 tour. If you are interested, please send Noel (birkner) a PM.

10. We are also going to do a Champagne Girls meet. The Champagne Girls event originated on the WBPC cruise in 2008. Women get together dressed in pink to drink champagne or non alcoholic bubbly and chat. Pictures of the first meet are in this post and pictures from the last WBTA are in this post. Please PM (Clare)Pinky166 to add you name to the list.

11. If you would like to join in the Scrapbooking Exchange, please PM Clare (Pinky166) with your name and room number. The idea is to give your fellow exchangers some scrapbooking embellishments for use in your scrapbooks after you return home! For more info check this post.

12 Join us for a Pajama breakfast on September 18 at 10:00 AM at Lumiere's. We will meet outside Lumiere's at 9:50 AM to take group pictures. If you are interested, please PM Mandy (MandyGirl) with the number in your party.
Here is the picture from the PJ breakfast on last years WBTA.

13. Sarah (TotallyAngelic) is organizing a Gibraltar Dolphin Watching Expedition if you are interested in joining. Please PM Sarah with the number in your party if you are interested.

14. Mandy (MandyGirl) is organizing a Tortola Excursion of a private day sail on a power catamaran to Jost VanDyke with Tortola Charters. Please PM Mandy with the number in your party if you are interested.

15. We hope to organize a Stateroom Tour of all the SR categories but we do yet have an organizer. Stay tuned for more details!!

16. If anyone wants to organize a postcard exchange, please feel free to start one. What we did las year is bring a postcard from where we lived and left in each other's FE. It is best to limit the number of participants no more than 25 as cost and weight to bring become an issue.

Just outside of Howarth.

Very nice too. I have been to Haworth loads of times in my life. Not recently though. Haworth itself was always a real trip out when I was young. Very quaint.

 

[granmaz]

Supposedly it is going to be an above average hurricane season with 16 named storms of which 9 might become hurricanes.

Lets hope they stay away from us like they did last year. Also our Captain and crew did some good work steering us away from rain too.

 

[poohluv2u]

It's posh camping

POSH: As in travel from and to India and England
Because of the position of the day sun the best cabins were always "Port (side) Out, Starbord (side) Home"
That seems appropriate for this thread

 

[auntlynne]

...I have a quick question for the veterans, I have to wait the 17th of june to start booking any activies and more important the Palo (I'm a food addict lol)

So do you think I could get a reservation for a dinner and a brunch, or I'm dreamin ??
Do you think there will be still some place or it will be full by the time I can stard booking???

If you don't get them online, don't give up hope. Go to Rockin' Bar D (or whatever the designated spot is when you board the ship) that makes reservations for Palo. Odds are very good you will be dining at Palo. You can also check during the cruise. I ate many brunches and dinners last year on the EBTA & Med cruises.

The other night on TV, they mentioned we were in a La Nina year. Here's what NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) says about that:

"According to this research, the chances for the continental U.S. and the Caribbean Islands to experience hurricane activity increases substantially during La Niña."

Say it isn't so.

Here's hoping they do their magic again like last year.

The article went on to say if the La Nina doesn't form then they will downgrade their forecast!!! Let's hope that happens.

 

[karentan]

fingers crossed then!

Just in case you all will miss my occasionally chatter, we (DH and I) are about to embark (Sat) on a two week B2B on the Norwegian Epic (mega-ship) in the Med. I am concerned that we will be on thread number 4 by the time I return to DIS boards! Will let you know how the "freestyle" has improved (or not) since 2003 (our last NCL cruise) or if we should give it up for good and stick with the classic.

See you in June.

[melonz]

Hurricanes??? I ain't gonna be on no rocking boat

Does anybody know if there is priority boarding for disabled?

glamping is glamorous camping ... we are staying in a wooden pod. Never done it before so I will see how it goes. beats struggling to put the tent up when we get there

 

[MandyGirl]

Oh I love those designs

Can I use some of the designs for magnets???

Absolutely! They are ALL from the DISboards Creative DISigns board.... freeware Save, upload, print on magnet paper, make tshirts, etc.

Supposedly it is going to be an above average hurricane season with 16 named storms of which 9 might become hurricanes.

I still stand behind what I said previously... those hurricanes have ALREADY been through the US and hit Alabama and the south. No hurricanes will impede our waters in September!

Have FUN!! We last cruised Freestyle when we had a large group who had many that did not like dressing for dinner. Worked well for our group because some of us did enjoy dressing and dining, while others were happy grabbing quick food. I did see where the Epic was cancelling several cruises later on down the road, but gave a good bit notice about it.

Hurricanes??? I ain't gonna be on no rocking boat

Hurricanes, honeymooners, ya never know...
Ooops. I didn't just say that out loud.

Love the tee shirts!! When do we get to order them?

I think we could easily upload and make some, and have them shipped to our own homes by using those files. When I just went there, they were just showing a "WEEKEND SALE" again at 50% off. I am going to be away from the computer (burial is this weekend for Curt's grandfather) but I would suspect if you save those files, go to this link, upload files, then create the tshirt, you could purchase this weekend when 50% off.


Weekend Sale - Saturday & Sunday Only! 50% Off T-Shirts & Free Uploads!

Layout Options: LEFT CHEST
Look for shirt that allows you to upload your own image

Then you put the image on left chest, add full back for $5 more, and do that image on the back. Can also add your own text. I added Mickey Heads by looking around on DISigners shared files, and found several already made with our names (or searching threads) and only had to have some made with baby's name

Don't really like the sound of this
