OK so a few people have asked how the postcard exchange is going to work.

The idea is that people buy postcards of their area/country/town/city etc and deliver a postcard to each person on the list. They don't need to be written on or anything but I'm sure people would like to have something on there to let them know who it was off. If people do want to write a little note on their about their country or town then thats OK too.

So far we have around 15 people taking part and you don't have to be in the Fish Extender Exchange to join in - but please let me know if you don't have an FE as then I can make a note on the list so people know not to expect one and can place the cards directly in the Fish Holder (they are built to hold letters etc anyway).

If anyone would like to take part that isn't on the list let me know. Currently we have:

- Gismo1554
- cruzdirectorkaren
- steamboat will
- Mrs Mork
- birkner
- pilk
- yukongirl123 (Trevor)
- Witherbark
- Bareacuda
- Disney Sweetie
- Buckeye Gal
- TheDisneyGirl02
- roseburghughes
- Sparky47 (no FE)

For anyone participating who does not have a FE, how do we deliver postcard?

Cool. Its fairly complete but I keep adding things as people come up with new ideas etc.

Also anyone who hasn't told me about a celebration they would like in the list please do so!

we will be celebrating DS, Trevoy's 15th birthday, which is actually Sept 6, but I've asked Disney for a cake on the 19th

Good Morning everyone. Hope you don't mind another last minute joiner. Yesterday we found this great deal on this cruise and decided we couldn't pass up the opportunity. I booked my cabin and air ticket. Now I'm in a panic. HELP

We are coming in to Barcelona on the 14th and need help deciding where to stay and what to do. We have traveled in the US and on Disney cruises but never Europe and we don't speak anything but English. Disney lovers are the best so I feel ok reaching out for your help and asking you to share your knowledge with us.

Look forward to meeting all of you and sharing the excitement of planning for this cruise. Oh, we live in San Francisco so if any of you are coming to the west coast when the Wonder is here next year we would be happy to share info about our side of the country. We just came back from an Alaska cruise and have learned so much about that beautiful state.

Bob & Val

Welcome Aboard. I'm right across the bay from you, over in the East Bay.

I've found when traveling that most people are very willing to help, even if they don't speak English. They will try their best to interpret with my limited Spanish and hand gestures.

Congrats Sarah! I'm trying to do some stuff today too - mainly sorting out the Navigator again

Speaking of which, when would people like to have the navigator? I was thinking around August 18th so its a month in advance. What do people think?

Sarah, as for the date of the Mini Navigator, you might consider waiting until after the cabins assignments are finalized. I'm not sure if DCL will have final cabin assignments done 30-days before sailing.

On the EBTA, there were numerous cabin changes -- GTY cabins were assigned, and DCL upgraded some families.

If we wait until after the cabin changes, it would make it easier for the FE exchange, Secret Mickey and other activities.

My two cents.

John and I though our anniversary is this weekend (July 4th) are planning to celebrate our 25th on the cruise. I am also turning 60 on Dec 20!!

OMG! I would LOVE to see that show! I didn't even know there was a Sister Act the musical! Music by Alan Menkin - I'm sold! I'll have to try to see if I can pull up clips on iTunes. Do they have a website I could check out?

yes check out

http://www.sisteractthemusical.com/

There are some clips on you tube and you can buy the cast recording online so you can enjoy a flavour of the show. It features all new music (non from the original films) and is written in disco style.


WELCOME to all you new join-ees it's never to late to join in the fun.

Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome. As recommended, I looked on the list of fellow cruisers and where they are staying. I see many of you are staying at the Praktik Rambla. Any recommendations of that particular hotel and info on where to book?

Thanks again. Appreciate all the help (does anyone know how to drop 40 pounds by the cruise?). Let me know if you want any info from me for the many lists I see someone has been kind enough to create.

Good idea! Thanks Woody! I know I need Penny (pjpoohbear) will then need to do a bit of magic getting it to PDF so not sure when she wants it? Let me know when's easiest!

 

[gismo1554]

Hello again all! I haven't posted much but have been following along eagerly. Best wishes to all who have been under the weather for a speedy and complete recovery.

Thanks to those who caught the military rate discounts coming out. I wasn't sure if we could get it since we booked through USAA, but called this morning anyway. I figured what was the worst that would happen; I'd just be in exactly the same spot I was before. So I called and (drum roll, please) managed to save over $1500. DH was thrilled.

Anyway, I hope to be able to post more, but I am lurking.

Sarah, DH (Greg) and I (Erica) will be celebrating our first anniversary (9/5, but celebrating on the cruise).

Got you guys. Just to check that's the 5th of September right?

 

[gismo1554]

For anyone participating who does not have a FE, how do we deliver postcard?

We just prop them into the Fish outside their room. They are meant to hold letters etc anyway so they will balance easily behind them as the gaps perfect size for letters etc.

 

[gismo1554]

I think you have it, but just in case: it's my birthday Sep 20.

Got you!

Got them both!

Got it!

DH and I celebrate our 17th anniversary on October 30, so we'll be celebrating it on the cruise.
