Welcome to the group. This is my first Disney cruise so I am not much help to you!!

Thank you sooo much!!

I sailed on a 3 night preview sailing on the Disney Fantasy which just gave us a little taste of the cruise experience ~ it was AMAZING!!

We cannot wait for this cruise. The level of service that we recieved on the Fantasy was unparalled. We cannot wait to get the full experience

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

I went out today and got a pink shirt and feather boa for the Champagne girls event. I also picked up some of my FE gifts for the latecomers group. It feels so much more real now that I actually bought some stuff! Unfortunately, I also discovered that my son's blazer and pants from the winter no longer fit, so I'm after those next.

I love the idea of a group trip report, but you should know that I'm terrible at completing reports!

Okay, I have started the group report. I think that by doing this together, we can give an interesting perspective. Plus the burden for a whole report won't be on just one person!!

I also posted the link in my signature.

Just choose a color and post in size 4 if you remember. That way the updates will stand out from the comments!! Everybody is welcome to at least read!

Cool--I have the shirts, but not the boas yet. I will get that next month...this month I had to update my medic alert bracelet.

I got the boa at Michaels - I know that you said you do most stuff online, but you could check their online site if you can't find them anywhere else.

Thank you so much for the offer. I will get my sister to make a Michaels run for us! She takes me grocery shopping when she goes....we'll just make an extra stop!

Thanks for setting this up! I'll post tomorrow when I have time to write it all in one sitting. I think this is a really good idea. I'm always searching for these kind of things when I'm planning a trip. There's little details that you can find out from other cruisers that you just never read on an official website.

We just booked the Sept. 29 cruise ~ we are so excited We cruised on the Fantasy in March and are soooo excited to go on the Disney Magic.

Are there any scheduled meets on this cruise? I will scroll through the thread, but wanted to ask as well

We are just now looking at excursions ~ thinking of going to one of the all-inclusive beaches in Cozumel and not sure what yet in Grand Cayman~

we are super happy and hope to meet some fellow Diser's ~

I have a 16 year old son, 12 year old daughter, and a 5 year old son. We are also travelling with a family with 6 kids ~ 15 (girl), 14 (girl), 12 (boy), 9 (girl), 6 (girl) and 3 (boy). These are all great and fun kids who I hope will meet some friends on the ship.

Hello! Quick question, where in Louisiana, asking because that where I was born and raised, Lafayette

I am so happy I got some magnets printed for our door. I was able to get some of our FE gifts done too. Can't wait until our cruise. I feel a little bit prepared getting those done.

I love the feeling you get when things start to come together! Planning is definitely half the fun of a trip (at least for me.)

Does anyone know how to make a Disboard photo album? According to the help section there is suppose to be a link to albums and photos under your usercp, but I cannot find it anywhere. I'm so confused! Does anyone know where the photo album link is?

My daughter is all set with her dresses for formal night and semi formal night, but if anyone is still looking for dresses for their little princess Zulilly has some really nice ones right now for some great prices. Their stock goes quick though, but if you sign up with them they'll send you an email everyday with that's day's new stuff in it. There has been tons of great little girls dresses lately.

I'm just about done with my daughter's dresses. I bought some and am just about finished with a "Belle" gown I'm sewing for her!

So excited!

Have you looked at the Disboutiquer's thread on the family board. We are on thread #29. There are hundreds and hundreds of ideas on there!

No date & time yet...we need to have our minimum of 25 participants met, then DCL will give us a date & time.

But...if we don't get the required number of "paying customers" for them, we will still have our event!! We'll need to pick a day/time, but for now we are hoping for more participation so Disney will host us!

Reminder: the link to sign up is in TxMermaid1 (Jill's) signature!!

I just booked us at Almaplena Beach Resort for our day at Costa Maya. It is all inclusive, including the cost of transportation. It gets great reviews on cruise critic and tripadvisor. The owner, Monica, was very responsive and easy to deal with. They only take 20 cruisers, so I'm hoping for a calm and relaxed beach day.

I also went online and bought my son's suit today. Got a great deal at Macy's, 20% off with the code shop and also free shipping over 50 on kids clothes. Keep your fingers crossed that it fits!

We are coming into Galveston on the 28th, so my countdown app now says 39 days!!
