I could have sworn I posted a reply yesterday to a bunch of this stuff, but I guess not. So here we go again.

YAY FOR SO MANY OF US PAYING OFF THE CRUISE!! Now some questions for you pros...

1. Fish Extenders: Did most of you buy these on ebay or make them? Using some instructions that I found on Dis, I did a real quick pricing of materials in the fabric department at a craft store and the material cost alone was going to be close to what I could get them for on eBay. So, unless you sew or know someone who does it looks like eBay is the best answer.

2. Autograph books: Do they sell them on the ship? Do they do this on cruises like they do in Disney? Should I bother? Yes, they sell them on the ship, I think that I remember them being close to the same cost as in the parks and DCL themed

3. Do you have to sign up for the character breakfast? Or is that just something that you are assigned to. You will be assigned your Character Breakfast. If I am remembering correctly it will be the first sea day after the first time you eat at Animators. Tickets will appear in your cabin, I believe the night before.

Enlighten me; what is facebook?

From Wikipedia:

Facebook is a free-access social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc.[1] Users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region to connect and interact with other people. People can also add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. The website's name refers to the paper facebooks depicting members of a campus community that some US colleges and preparatory schools give to incoming students, faculty, and staff as a way to get to know other people on campus.

You can access it at Facebook.com

I am so excited - I got our ressies for dining at the parks for after our cruise booked this morning. We are going to have dinner at Chef Mickey's & breakfast with Lilo & Stitch at Ohana's. We have never been to either one, but it sounds like it will be great!!

I couldn't find it. Can you tell me how to search for it. I searched in groups and friends and couldn't find that name.

Search for 'Disney Cruise Line Sept. 26, 2009'. I found it & joined. (You had to take the 's' off Lines.)

I just logged into my facebook page and found it this way....

After signing in look at the upper right hand side of your page and there is a search box....type in Disney Cruise Line Sept. 26, 2009......it should pull it up.

It should be LINE and not LINES.....that may have been the mix up.

Once you get to the page, you can join the group and then ask the members to be "your friend".....

I see a couple people have already joined....We will just have to figure out who is who!!!

My DD Shayln who will be age 9 at cruise time is looking for pen pals to chat with via email prior to cruise. She did his last year and it worked out great. If you have a DD around her age that would like to do this please send me a PM and I'll give you Shayln's email address.

Cool! I found the Facebook group. Thanks for setting it up Pam. What a great idea. And yet another thing to make it harder for me to stay off the internet.

I'm really lovin' my Passporter. Not that you all haven't been a wealth of knowledge already, but it's laid out really well and will make life much easier for this newbie. For as many cruises as DH and I have been on, I feel like we are cruise virgins again going on this Disney cruise. Our kids are for sure. It's going to be so wonderful.

 

[Disney Sweetie]

I have been away from the computer this afternoon....I am glad to see that everyone is signing up on the Facebook page for our group. This will make it easier to spot our members at the sailaway party!! I can't wait to meet all of you in person!! Thanks for adding some of your pictures BigFerrell....if anyone else has some they want to add, please feel free to share with us.

Aren't Passporters the best. I have mine right next to my desk so that I can reference it any time.
My favorite phrase is:"Let's go to the book." Just ask KimmySue.

Hiiiiiii everyone!! I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! I've been MIA for a couple days because I've been battling swimmer's ear. I feel much better today (though I still can't hear out of my right ear) but it was pretty rough for a couple days. I think I'm pretty well caught up, and am thinking about doing the whole Facebook thing so I can chat with you guys. I think I'm the only person my age who doesn't have a Facebook account - LOL. I'll get on there and see what it's about and hopefully I'll be chatting right along very soon. I hope everyone is having a great day!

Just talked to Leslie....Bareacuda.....they will not be joining us on this cruise due to work schedules. They are still planning on the WBTA next year tho. I have updated the roster on page 9. If you know of any other changes, please let me know.

Let's shake hands than. Same age, same no FB-account. We've got a dutch equivalent, but that also took me ages to get onto.

Pam, thanks for checking the info out and updating it all!

Page 1 line up of cruisers is updated once again. I'm getting excited to get on the boat and go on my first 7 day cruise

 

[kpadalik]

Okay, I've been out of it for a few days...busy w/ work, the holiday, life in general. Cool idea about FB! I joined the group. I see someone said that Bareacuda won't be joining us on the cruise. Too bad.

Getting closer to cruising...sooooooo excited! Hope everyone had a fabulous 4th!

Gee, why does that not surprise me?

I've guess I've gotten very jaded about the Facebooks and Myspaces because everyone I know who is married and browsing those sites are looking for hook-ups. It's very sad, actually (or maybe just a reflection of the peeps I hang out with).

Oh I don't know? Enlighten me?

Dang, that is sad! Leave that alone folks! That's for those of us still out on the hunting game. Give us our meat, get out! I'll bit, and I've got rabies, I tell you!
