Sept 7th 10 night anyone else cruising?

[landmark]

Welcome landmark and skycon! I hope you all are able to join us!

Landmark, What part of FL might you move to?

It will be central Florida. The company is actually located about 40 miles from Disney I guess so anywhere in that radius. We are on pins and needles waiting to find out.

In the meantime we are planning on being on the cruise and may decide to do it anyway... we so enjoyed our first cruise in March.

 

[landmark]

Oh and I forgot. It will be me, DH, DD who will then be 14 (gasp!) and DS who will turn 8 on the ship. Also we had such a great time on our 3 night in March that my parents allowed me to "twist their arms" and they are also going to be sailing. This will be their first cruise and they are VERY excited.

That's great news that your parents are joining you. I know they will love it! Don't forget to tell Disney or your travel agent about your sons birthday. They will ask you what night you want to celebrate and bring him a cake and pin (I think they still do the pin).

I still can't believe we don't have that many people posting. I'm going to work on a door magnet tonight....we can't let the 11-nighters put us to shame.

I was going to work on it over weekend but I was grouting tile. Not exactly fun but we should have our kitchen remodel done by Labor day - I hope! I don't know what we were thinking when we decided to do it ourselves - but we have saved a lot of $$$ - which means more Disney vacations!

My Best Friend and I will be going on this one. It is our bi-annual vacation that we take together. We were originally booked on a RCCL cruise, and this one just sounded so much better (of course its DCL). We are actually booked into a insided guarantee room, so if they don't fill it maybe we can get upgraded.

WELCOME minnieandmickey!!!!

Here's the door magnet I promised you all. I had to print it and then scan it in so it's not as good a quality as in person. Please give me your honest opinion, you won't hurt my feelings.

I know my parents will. They came with us to WDW this year, meeting up with us after we got of our three night cruise. Then they spent four days enjoying the parks with us. We all had a blast! So when I said we were going to do it again they didn't need much convincing!

Yes door magnets! I've been thinking about one but haven't actually done it yet... I see you've already posted yours.. Nice! I have no idea what exactly to put on mine. Hmmm brainstorming session! I will have to get mother to do one as well. Actually been trying to get her on the forum as well.

I hear you about the remodeling job! We are doing the same thing!! Except we are in the process of repainting the entire house we also recently put on a new front door but now we are trying to get it fixed up to sell... especially if we get the transfer to FL.

....and AHEM where are all the other 10 nighters? "Come out come out wherever you are!"

 

[landmark]

Oh and hmmm should we make a catchy signature graphic also for all the 10 nighters? and then theres a get together to plan etc... etc... <grin>

 

[juliette]

Just what to say hi and say I will also be on the 10 day cruise

Where is everyone

 

[Miss Eeyore]

My best friend Kim and I will be joining the 10-day cruise.....booked it today. I hope we can build a great DIS group and plan some fun meet & greet activities. This is my 8th DCL cruise and Kim's 2nd. I brought her along on points way back when when it didn't cost an arm and a leg of points to cruise. We will be in one of the "secret verandah" rooms on deck 7, with late dining. Hopefully we can build some friendships here and link some dinner and Palo reservations.

Marilee

oh....now I am so excited that I can start a new countdown clock!!!!!

 

[landmark]

Yay! Two more!! Welcome Welcome!! Marilee we are on deck 7 also but have requested early dining. Definitly would be fun to have some meet and greet activities. There is something to be said for being able to activate a new countdown. Just doesn't feel right without one!

 

[WeLuvDCL]

WELCOME juliette and Miss Eeyore!!!

I'm so happy this group is growing!!

Thanks for creating the catchy signature graphic landmark! I've added it to my signature! Here is the link if anyone else would like to add it http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b41/weluvdcl/849ffece.png Just send me a PM if you need help adding it. Can't be a real DIS group w/o a signature graphic!


If you all like the door magnet I created, I would be happy to make one for each of you. I will hopefully have a better printer by the time we get closer to the cruise (this will give me the perfect excuse to buy one...lol). Magnet paper is a little expense so I will laminate them and put magnet strips on the back. Then after the cruise you can peel off the magnets and put the door sign in your scrapbook! I got this idea from another DIS member, thought it was pretty cool.
So, let me know if you think we should make any improvements. I was thinking I should probably add the date?

 

[gabbysmom04]

I know it is still so far away but I am really excited! I love your door magnet! I would like to do something realy fun for my family but I am not sure what. my ds will only be 10m and my dd will only be two so I think I might try to make them shirts. well, I am happy to see that more people are joining us.

 

[landmark]

Dawn,

I see you went on the first Repo cruise. Can you tell us some of the activities they used to entertain you for 14 nights? Perhaps we can start getting an idea of what kind of things we can hope for on the 10 night. Like did they still do pirate night? Did they repeat the shows? Just wondering what they came up with for the longer cruise.

DD and I are in brainstorming phase to plan for door decorating. What fun. Mother is a scrapbooker as well and should have some great ideas. BTW I know she joined the forum and has read this thread but apparantly "forgot" to post a hello.

 

[WeLuvDCL]

I could talk for hours (ok, days) about our Panama Canal cruise! It was the best vacation to date!

There were over 300 DISers on board. They planned stateroom tours, scavenger hunt, scrapbooking class, cross stitch class and much more. But DCL had also planned sooo much that the only thing I was able to attend was the scrapbook class. Do you think your Mom woudl be willing to have a scrapbook meet on board and show us some of her secrets?? If I ask her PRETTY PLEASE with sugar on top!

ok, Disney entertainment on the 14 day cruise...oh, where do I begin. There were no repeat shows....our cruise was the debut of the new Cinderella show, Twice Charmed, we had BoyZ II Men perform, Bob Saget and the muppets, movie premier (Galaxy something), and different entertainment (comedians, juggler and magician). Each dinner was also a different theme and they still did Pirates in the Caribbean (except we weren't in the Caribbean that night...lol). Don "Ducky" Williams was onbaord for part of the cruise and he did a presentation, Jason Surrell (an Disney imagineer) did several presentation about the making of Pirates of the Caribbean, the PoC movie and the making of the Haunted Mansion...he is a great presenter...very funny! The President of DCL was also onboard. The also had presentation about the Panama Canal. oh, and how could I forget, we were able to buy special pins, well some of us were, very long story that involves sleeping in the halls and atrium of the ship! NOT me personally. This provided a lot of material for the comedians.

I was worried about being bored with so many days at sea, but they had so much to do we didn't even sleep in until the 4th day. If they do only half as much on this cruise, I guaranteee we will all be very pleased.

P.S. They also had a very good selection of movies to watch in the stateroom and in the theatre.

 

[Miss Eeyore]

I heard about the cabin tours aboard the 14-day sailing. Was that fun? If so, I'd be game to set this up for "our" cruise.

 

[Hygiene99]

Some other Stuff From the 14 day Repo included..

Mid night Showing Of the Pirates movie...

They opened the KIDS club Up for adults one night .. with about 300 kids onboard the KICKED them out..
We had a blast... Made Flubber and Jenn painted a Mickey Cell
There is also Art auctions with free champagne..

Best Joke I Heard was From Jason Surrell I Believe !!!

went like this ..

I Bought a set of May repo Pins on Ebay , Yeah the Guy Delivered them to my Cabin... LOL

There is tons to do with what Dcl has planned and the disboard stuff..

And Would have to Agree with Dawn It was the Best Cruise Ever

ok now back to the 11 night thread ...


And the Cabin tour was alot of Fun.. We even Went in the Walt..


Enjoy Your Cruise... Peter

 

[WeLuvDCL]

Marilee,

That would WONDERful if you could set up a cabin tour. We had so much going on that I missed the one on the Panama Canal. I would love to see the suites. Thanks!!!

 

[gabbysmom04]

it is nice to hear about the activities! I feel like a sponge trying to soak up every bit of info I can. Can anyone tell me about the food? (I am pregnant)

 

[juliette]

So were is everyone

So what cat is everyone booked in and who is going with you
Cant wait to see what type of things they are going to be offering
I am so excited I have not been on the disney since 01

 

[Miss Eeyore]

I will be the "keeper" of the cruise roster. So if everyone who joins in this thread will post their "crew" details and cabin type, I'll keep track. And I will add the new ones as they find this thread. Evntually I'll get together an e-mail group list for us.

Am I stepping on any toes volunteering for this?
