Sister's 40th Birthday ideas.....

[poohs4me]

I know what the ship will do for her and the things I can request but I am looking for ideas on little things I can do that might be fun. Like leaving a puzzle piece in her FE every day with a picture at the end but I do not know what the picture should be of lol. I thought about a scavenger hunt but I don't know.

Any ideas you guys have I would love to hear

We celebrated my sons graduation on our recent cruise. I made a magnet for our door (thanks to the creativity of a fellow Diser) and also ordered cookies from a friend of mine who runs a cookie business. I had these set up in the room for when he came in to have a sort of "in room celebration". It was just a little thing but I think it made it a little special for him.

She can get a birthday button like the ones in the parks. I celebrated my 40th last year on the Dream. We planned to celebrate on our last night, so the next to last night our MDR server gave me a birthday button and said "you wear this all day tomorrow and get lots of good vibes". I got told Happy Birthday by everyone, and a few people bought me drinks. It was cool. Maybe you can give her little presents each day, or have random CMs give her presents that you bring. Maybe one is waiting at her seat for dinner the first night, one is in the bottom of the popcorn bucket when you go to watch a movie, the snorkel rental guy hands her one at Castaway Cay, etc. I don't know how long your trip is, but maybe 40 mini presents dispensed over the trip....or 39 little ones and 1 big final gift?
Scavenger Hunt...A list of 40 things to find (and take pictures of/with). Examples...family from your home state/town, weird large ocean creature (think those big shark statues outside restaurants at ports), someone wearing the same Disney article of clothing as you, unusually large drink glass (huge margarita glass, fishbowl drink), another person who is 40, another person celebrating their birthday, etc.

Love the cookies. I wonder if I can find them locally.

We will get her the button for sure. I like the 40 mini or 40 things to find. Those ideas are great!!

i like making magnets, so i would do something like that to decorate her door, and ask for a button on embarkation. if i weren't on a cruise ship, i would do the 40 gifts. cookies that are not "professionally packaged" (i guess sealed in some way) are not supposed to be brought on board i don't think,may want to check that out.

I plan to make magnets. I still have a bit of time so maybe I can find some professionally packaged cookies.

Yikes! I hadn't even thought of the cookies not being allowed on. They were made by a professional company, so I don't know if that mattered but I had them in my carry on and no one said anything. Oops!

My son had his 15th birthday on board the Magic last summer. I had a t-shirt made up for him that said "Today is my 15th birthday!" and it had Disney Characters on it. The I had different t-shirts made up for the rest of our party saying "Happy Birthday Nick" with more Disney characters on it. We got a lot of comments on all our matching shirts and everyone we passed wished my son a happy birthday. It was great!

I also ordered special personalized birthday m&m's and handed them out at dinner.
