I just read on another thread that verygfy's dd broke her arm!



I hope she's feeling better soon and ready to cruise! We had friends that cruised with a 4 yr old in a cast and had no problems with club or activities.

What happened? Any special FE requests???

Hey everyone, I was wondering if any of you have sailed on a sold out cruise before. I just went on DCL to see what was still available and our cruise is not showing up. Does that mean the cruise is sold out? Also if it is, how crowded is the boat going to be?

I just looked up our cruise and saw Cat 5 rooms available. I thought most of DCL sail completely full.

Thank you so much!! She is doing great, she has a full arm cast on for 3 weeks and then she will get a short arm waterproof cast on after that for the cruise. The doctors were great with her today!! She was jumping on the couch and when I came into the room she went to jump back down and sit down, but ended up falling the other way on the floor, she put her hand out to stop the fall and broke right above her wrist.

I am so glad to hear that your friends had no problems with there 4 year old cruising with a cast on, it made me very sad to think she would miss out on so much of the cruise with the cast. And thankfully with the waterproof cast she will be able to enjoy Castaway Cay.

As for FE, right now the doctors put "Pixie Dust" on her cast to help her arm heal faster for the cruise. She keeps saying Tinkerbell is going to make it all better mommy. Anything tinkerbell would be great!

She won't use her right arm yet, hopefully that will change with time!! Thank you again so much!!

Has anyone been to Mickey's not so scary Halloween Party at MK? I was wondering if the park is fully operational during the party? Are all the rides going and stuff? If we were to go the night we disembark, I would like to be able to do all the rides. The family going with us has never been to MK and I would hate for us to go for the Halloween party and they not get the great experience that MK has to offer during a normal operating day. I guess I was just wondering if that night is just a normal evening at MK only with some halloween festivities accompanying it.

Awwwwww, what a sweet story. It sounds like the broken arm isn't going to stop her one bit.

We have done MNSSHP for the last two years and have really enjoyed ourselves both times. The rides are all operational, and the party offers trick-or-treating stations at various locations throughout as well as special dance parties, a parade and fireworks show. The characters are also dressed up in their halloween finest. We love MK anyway, but, for us, MNSSHP kicks up the awesomeness of MK to a different level. I would totally recommend it to a newbie family!

Here is a link to a thread all about last year's MNSSHP

We've been to MNSSHP -3 different years - I don't recall ever seeing a ride not operational -but the food choices are really limited. Try to eat your big meal before you get there...unless you just want a hot dog! It is soooo much fun!
This year we are going the day we get back from the cruise & then going back the Friday before Halloween -fun!

I think we are okay as long as we hang them on the fish outside our door. If I remember right, one of the posts I read was referring more to people putting stickers and things on the doors that were causing the paint to peel and leaving the sticky stuff behind for Mousekeeping to have to clean.

Congrats on getting your docs. I know how excited you are!! Sometimes it's hard for me not to just burst out into screams of excitement and happiness!

Just curious--who's planning on dressing up for Pirate Night and Dress-up Night? Initially, Mike and I decided that we weren't going to do Pirate Night for sure, and were undecided about Dress-Up, but now I can't make up my mind. We went all out last year for PN, but were 2 of only about a handful of people who dressed up. We still have our costumes, so we wouldn't have to worry about that part. But I just can't decide. As far as Dress-Up, I really don't want to have to go out and buy another dress! So, what's the verdict here...if enough of y'all are doing it, that may be enough to convince the DH and I to do it again, too!

Thanks for the info! I'm kind of lost since this is all new to me! But I can answer anything that has to do with WDW! Anyways, John and I decided we wanted to dress up (and our kids) for pirate night! We're going to do dressy casual for formal night/Palo. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

As much as it pains me to do it I'm going to have to opt out of the FE. I just don't have the time.

Yes, you can bring the umbrella stroller, but I believe it will have to be stored in your cabin. Last time we had our car seat and it fit in the closet.

thanks thats exactly what i was thinking!!

I could be wrong so someone please correct me if I am. I believe I heard if you don't want to mess with having to find a place for your carseat or stroller while on the ship you can check it at the port? They keep it at the terminal for you and you can claim it once you disembark. We will be traveling with DD who is also 4 and are just renting a carseat from the transfer company, but we will have our stroller. We are attending MNSSHP on Thur as well! If it's true you can just check your stroller at the port terminal that may be what we do, because I can't think of any reason that we'll need it while on the ship.

They were discussing storing at port on this thread. (Someone says there is no storage at port.) http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2542205

 

[jameyh9479]

i asked the disney mom's panel about storage lockers at the port and was told there were none at that location. I was asking about storage for a car seat and they said i could store it in the closet.
I have read lots of posts about people shipping things to disney ahead of time, but i didn't want to spend the money since we will be coming thru orlando on saturday before the crusie. Mom's panel said to call the resort where you will be staying after the cruise and they should be happy to hold items for any guest staying within 10 days.

I am SO EXCITED!! my son keeps asking when are we going to see Mickey mommy???

Hey Guys. I know we are all excited about our trip coming up real soon. I was just wondering though if anyone is worried about the weather? There are already 3 hurricanes happening this week near bermuda and coming up from the atlantic and there may be one more behind it! I'm starting to get really nervous.

My DH mentioned the very same thing to me this morning after watching the news. For some reason, I'm not as worried with this cruise as I was before. Honestly, I'm hoping that whatever is out there will fizzle out by the time we cruise. But, the reality is that something else could come along at any time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything will work out and be fine!

I'm trying to stay positive.... BUT I'm stressing out over it!!!!
