Sept 17, 2009 - Wonder

[thatgrrl]

We will probably stay on the ship. I think it will be a good time for my daughter and I to really explore the ship and take advantage of some things.

I have been to Nassau many times in my life and the only thing that interests me at this point is the knock-off purses and after last summer being witness and knocked to the ground during a major raid in NYC Chinatown --- I figure I will spare the kid.

As of right now we have late seating so I want to make sure she gets a good nap in everyday so we can do the show, dinner and whatever is after dinner each night.

Speaking of which...anyone working on their pirate night costume? I picked up some Mickey pirate patches last week at the Orlando outlets that I will sew onto a red and white striped shirt for her. Not sure what I am going to do yet. Thinking of a white peasant shirt and gaucho pants.

BTW, you are forwarned for any meets we do... I am all about the themes (ie she will be in a mermaid dress at tritons) and whenever possible us matching.

We will also be on this cruise. It will be me, DH - Joe and our 2 daughters, Brandie (15) and Courtney (12). We'd like to be included in a fish extender exchange. We participated on our last cruise in March and it was a lot of fun.

Hi Wendy -- I am in Deerfield Beach and my parents live a couple blocks from Wellington Green mall!

Hi guys--

Very odd, but excellent, situation---my group has expanded to 7 people....all friends and DM's ages 39-49. Interestingly enough, two of us have birthdays while on this cruise!

We are attempting to book the Palo Private Dining room but we need a total 12-14 people to book it.

I saw that some of you lovely folks are traveling in various groups....would anyone like to join our fun-loving crew to be able to eat in the Palo Private Dining room? Cost is still $15/person...and your Palo ressie would be cancelled if you have one. They don't assign the Private Dining Room until ~30 days out.

Just PM me if you are interested--thanks and looking so forward to September!

wow! time is drawing near and I have done nothing! Just been too busy with summer, kids, etc. We are really looking forward to this. I haven't even done any ressies yet. hopefully we'll still be able to do some stuff.

I would love to meet up with you disers is there a time/place set for that yet?

Woohoo!!!!

Anyone else out there excited?
Does anyone plan on starting a Fish Extender or meet group?
I will if anyone is interested or help with someone else leading.
Anyone going to Free Dining at DW before the cruise? We arrive 9/9.​

Any other GTYs not get a stateroom number yet? I hate waiting!

 

[micandkay]

Got our stateroom assignment last week. Upgraded from cat 12 to cat 9! We bought a fish extender but don't know what to do next. We would love to meet everyone, too. We didn't get free dining but will be at WDW starting on the 11th. Twenty-four more days til we arrive and we're starting to get really excited!

 

[camarks1234]

we got our assignments last week but no upgrades. O'well, we're very happy with what we booked and we don't plan on hanging around the room much on a 3 day anyway.

CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!

yeah, I'm torn on the FE. we did it the last time but I was so stressed out in packing and planning.

I'd rather meet up with everyone at a firm time and place. The last time we had a time and place and no one showed up. I think it was because it was the first day and they were too busy with getting ressies, lunch, etc. Maybe an evening gtg might work better.

I got your PM... I am interested in FE. Not our first cruise, but first on DCL and I think my daughter will get a kick out of it. Right now I have a lot going on and can not organize. Sorry.

I am also interested in a get-together at any point in the trip.

We will be at WDW beginning Sept 14. We are passholders and only staying 2 nights there so no free dining for us. But that is fine. I have lots of special things scheduled for this trip -- Dinner at Castle, MNSSHP, Biergarten and breakfast with Donald.... we go about once a month so I am trying to do "different" things this trip since it is more of a real vacation than a quick run up to Orlando. Also... my daughter has no idea about the cruise and I probably will not tell her until we get to the port for a BIG surprise.

 

[Nette]

25 days to go and still GTY! It'll be interesting to see what happens... Not that I care, I'll be happy to be on the boat!

As for FE, I tend to stress out way too much about that, so I'm out...

I can't believe how close we are now!

 

[camarks1234]

omigosh! I just cannot wait!!!! The sailoff party was one of my best memories, it was so fun. I can't stay away from this place because I keep thinking about everything.

I'm going ahead with a Fish Extender Exchange, so far we have 3 groups . PM me if you are interested in joining with the names and ages of those in your party along with your stateroom #. Thanks
(anyone know how to notify group members if room #s are changed after boarding?)

Thanks for organizing this! I hope others will join in.

 

[Nette]

Well guys... 23 days to go, and still no stateroom number... anyone else have this "problem"? (Oh if only all problems were such as this).

 

[KSandbergFL]

never mind ;-)

 

[Nette]

We got docs... but we can't open them cuz DD7 doesn't know where mommy and daddy's adults only trip is to.

 

[ToodlesRN]

We also got our cruise docs today, same room and cat. as we signed up for, I was hoping for a cat 3 upgrade! Wishful thinking right!

we are FL residents... booked on Monday (8/24), all they had left were Cat 7 and above... we booked a Cat 7. Got our cruise docs yesterday (8/26)... we are in a Cat 5. yay!

My wife looked up some pictures of Fish Extenders, and got inspired to make her own.... so we'll have an FE on our door, too. I pm'd ShoppingStaceysMom to get our room number on the list, but haven't heard back yet. We have a 7-yr old boy who will really enjoy the little surprises.
