Welcome! Heading out to the beach right now, so I'll add you to the roll call later tonight. Looking forward to asking many questions!!! I notice your photos in your signature, you are obviously an awesome photographer. I would love to see some that you took on your cruise!!!!

Ron

Thanks for your compliments! Unfortunately, I was so exhausted this trip that I didn't take many photos I hope to make up for this in September!

I do still have most of the Navigators (all except the last day... I can't seem to find it).

Called united and changed my flight arrival time. The new time is 10:17 pm. I figuar that i should arrive at PO around 11:00 pm. Is anything still open at that time and also what time dose ME stop luggage delivery? There is another flight that i may change to and that one gets into orlando at 12:20 am. I don't think the hyatt has day rooms at that time. I think that i may just stay with the 10:17 pm. Mashelle

This is the information online at WDW.

Luggage delivery service provided by Disney's Magical Express is available for flights arriving between 5:00 am and 10:00 pm daily. For airport arrivals after 10:00 pm, Guests may collect their luggage at Baggage Claim and transport it with them on the motorcoach.

We will be at the Hyatt too! We don't get in until after 9pm, though. How are you getting to the port? We had planned on using a car service all along, but when we got the great rate at the Hyatt (thank you disboards!) we decided convenience was a good thing, and we are 90% sure we are taking the bus now. By the time we figured in tip, we wouldnt have saved a whole lot versus taking the bus, and the grocery stop wasnt a necessity.

I will add both to the list. The number of individuals staying at the Hyatt is growing.

My wife and our 3 kids have been booked on this Cruise and are anxiously waiting!

Do we have any runners on this site that are doing the 5k on Castaway Cay?

Tony

Yep that was us!!! And Grandma4ever (Lois) was there too! That was a great cruise! My wife, Jen (Nenner1) was the one who set up the trick or treat, made the lanyards and created the logo.

She is actually in the process of creating a logo for this cruise and so far it looks great! I think she be posting that this week. It was so awesome seeing everyone who used the logo on that cruise to make t-shirts and magnets! I remember many non Dis-ers asking us where they could buy one for themselves...

Ron

Wow nice logo, can't wait to see what she came up with for this cruise!

 

[alohabob]

Welcome aboard to all the new Pirates, we are almost to the double digits 116 days

 

[sssteele]

Wow! Michigan829 is on here too! Sooo...many great Dissers we've cruised with before. Sorry we will miss this one

The photo from MNSSHC was taken with our camera.

Hello! I've got a question (the first of many I am sure). On your cruise did you stay in ports for the times listed pre-cruise (St Maarten 8a-6:3pm and St Thomas 7:45a-3:30pm)? I've noticed that on the first Fantasy Eastern they had the all aboard time for St Thomas listed as 4pm in their Navigator. I know they usually have the all aboard time at least a half hour from the time they depart, so I think an extra hour in St Thomas would be great!

Thanks!
Ron

It amazes me how great the detail is in that photo! You have a great camera! Jen recently got a Cannon Rebel T2, but we have yet to buy a nice lens... Hopefully we will have one by then or someone else will have a nice set-up so that we can get a great group photo...

For those of you who don't know Joanie and Sam are that wonderful couple wearing red in the bottom right side of the photo next to the bottom of the stair railing. We had many nice chats with them during that cruise and we'll really miss them this time around... I hope to cruise with them again one day!

[nenner1]

Hey gang!

As Ron mentioned I've been working on a logo for this cruise. I have had an elaborate idea in my head since the beginning and it evolved into this. Let me know what you think!

Full Hi-Res image 300 dpi: (use for printing or T-shirt Design: canvas is 10x10 inches so resize to 8x8 for printing T-shirt transfers at home (or magnets). Transparent Background. Right Click/Save As to save to your computer:

Hi-Res Framed- same as above (Hi-Res image) but with a white background and black frame). Right Click/Save As to save to your computer:

Small Signature- This is a resized image the perfect size to fit in your Dis Signature. Please Right Click/Save As to save to your computer then upload to a photo sharing site to link to your own signature. (Please no hotlinking, I don't have enough bandwidth!)

Hope you like it!! Jen

 

[livingis2me]

I love the logo!!!! I already put it in my signature.

I think it would be really cool if as many of us as possible make t-shirts with this design and wear it on embarkation day and even around the parks if you are doing the parks before the cruise. Many did this for our October 2010 cruise. This was a great ice-breaker! And it makes it easier to spot your fellow Dis-ers. It was a humbling experience for Jen to see her design everywhere... So lets do this!!!!!

Our plane lands in Orlando (fingers crossed) around 11am(ish) Friday morning. We are taking DCL transportation to the Port. This will be a first for us! Save us a seat! lol Can't wait to meet everyone! This sounds like a fun group here on DISboards!

She did an awesome job! We're definitely making magnets for our door, and possibly t-shirts. We are such Michigan football fans that it's hard not to wear our gear. lol

 

[Patrickprincess]

I changed my flight for the thrid time today. I don't think i will ever fly united again. I considred haveing them refund the ticke price but it takes fourteen days and they way that ticket prices are going up i could have ended up paying more for a new ticket. Lesson learned. I will be arrving in orlando at 12:30 am . But i figuar that it will be about 1:30 or a quarter to two when i will arrive at POR. I can check in at seven have breakfast and then head for Disney Stuiods. I'm one of the lucky passngers i can sleep on the plane.

 

[jas0202]

Hope you like it!! Jen

Logo looks GREAT, Jen! As soon as I can figure out how to add it to my siggy it will be there! Thanks for doing that! Certainly magnets will be made...maybe shirts too!
