In your PM please provide the following info:
Stateroom number (if known), Disboard name, first name of each person in the stateroom, relationship to you (DH, DW, DP, DD, DS, DM, etc.) including ages and gender of children. Also the country you are from.

Depending on how many people sign up to take part in the exchange it may need to separate into smaller groups, this will be decided & updated here as we go along.
For the new cruisers or those that haven't participated in Fish Extender groups before , here is a link with some great explanations as to what it's all about. They can explain better than me!!!

Stateroom Tour​

Ken (Disdel) is organising a Stateroom tour which will take place on the first Sea Day, time to be confirmed nearer the cruise.

DIS'ers volunteer their stateroom to be viewed during a walking tour, so you can get to see (hopefully) every Category of accommodations on the MAGIC. You can see "how the other half lives" and also see what would or wouldn't work for YOU on future cruises. "I'd be ok in that sideways 11", or "Hey, that Navigator's Verandah is pretty cool" etc...

Logistically, a group of 25-30 is ideal, and those volunteering their rooms for viewing also want to tour, so participants will be given a specific itinerary. Hope that all makes sense.

To join please complete the required information on this link

Thanks

Palo Group Brunch​

Mandy (MandyGirl) is arranging the Group Palo Brunches, if you are interested please PM Mandy your names, cabin number and party size.

~ I will have everyone re-confirm after PIF (Paid In Full) date to make sure everyone is still onboard since this is so far out.
~ I will request full names and reservation numbers at that time before I send in our request.
~ I will submit the request to DCL in June 2014 so we are in the queue although we know they might not look at it until closer to the cruise.
~ Once your name is submitted in June, there are no refund or changes.
~ We can have a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 14 for each group according to how Palo is now on Magic (assuming drydock won't affect Palo private room sizing).
~ I will add guests to the groups on a "first come, first served basis" starting with group #1 - and those will be the dates we request with DCL (not guaranteed). Groups filled in order the PM is received.
~ If for some reason you cancel this cruise, please PM me immediately so I can fill your group as we must have the minimum of 12.
~ Due to the popularity of this event and number of cruisers we anticipate, we will try to fill the groups to 14 to allow a maximum number of cruisers to participate.
~ We should receive confirmation about 30 days before we sail with charges made to your onboard account.
~ When you are able to make your own personal Palo reservations, it is encouraged to do so. When your Group reservation is confirmed, DCL will delete your original "on your own" brunch reservation since we can only book one brunch prior to embarkation. Do not rely on this brunch to "make" - be proactive and still schedule your own brunch just in case! There could be other groups making the same request which is why we encourage you to schedule brunch on your own after PIF date - just to be on the safe side.

Calling all Book Worms ~ DIS BOOK SWAP​

From Annika (Annichan):

Finished a book? Looking for new reading material? Come over to cabin # 6128 to find the book bag at my door. You can exchange your book for a different one, just take a book, or just leave one in the bag. Let's make sure we'll all have plenty to read on this wonderful long cruise!
At the end of the cruise, I will take any leftover books to Guest Services to be donated to the crew library.

P.S. Our cabin # 6128 seems to be the perfect location - located far aft and thus close to secret deck 7 for relaxed reading, and at the same time on deck 6 where it all seems to be happening!

Pre-Cruise Hard Rock Get-Together
​

Sarah (TotallyAngelic) will be organising a pre-cruise meet up on the evening before we sail in Barcelona ~ 5th September 2014. In the past this has been held at the Hard Rock Cafe on Placa Catalunya ... you can meet up for a drink, or dinner, or just say hello to your fellow cruisers. This has been a great night in the past ... a good way to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.

Sarah will be contacting the Hard Rock early in 2014 to arrange this, and until; then will be keeping a list of names of those who are interested. Please PM Sarah with a list of names for all in your party that would like to attend.

DIS Group Drink Tastings! ​

Rules:
1) Will need to know the first/last name of each person participating, along with your cabin number. Remember, you MUST be 21 or over, and DCL will check this against your registration info. You must PM this to the person organizing the tasting you want to attend (see list below).

2) The cost of the Tasting Class will be charged to your cabin by DCL. There will be no refunds once we have submitted the final list, this won't happen until about 2 weeks before the cruise (we will know the time and date before the final list is submitted.) The cost is approx $20 per person (TBC nearer the time) and will be charged to your room whether or not you attend once the final lists have submitted.

3) There will be a MAXIMUM of 49 people per tasting. If we go over this number we will be able to schedule separate tasting classes. With exception to the Champagne Girls - only one booking can be made so a maximum of 49!!

Way back before the first PC Repo cruise, a great friend, EllaEnchanted, and I (Ukangel) were 'chatting' online and one afternoon came up with how great it would be to get a few like minded ladies together onboard and drink bubbly....we added tiaras and pink, and later feather boas.......and called ourselves Champagne Girls.

Chocolate Tasting​

I will be organising a private DIS Chocolate Tasting group, it is a newish thing so and after a little research it appears that you get a selection of white, milk and dark chocolate (dark 62%, darker 72% and darkest 85%!) and a shot glass of melted white, milk and dark chocolate. You taste the different chocolates with a variety of wines as well as a glass of whisky. I believe it is $30 per person.

If you would like to sign up then please PM me (pinky166) with the full name (first & surname) and cabin number of all wishing to take part.

Secret Mickey Gift Exchange
​

Welcome to the 2014 WBTA Secret Mickey exchange!

This exchange is a bit different from the fish extender exchange, but works along the same way as a secret santa exchange.

Each participating stateroom will be matched with another stateroom, and should buy a gift for that cabin with a total cost of no less than $20 but no more than $25 (approx GB£16, Aus$25, Can$25)
The gifts can be one per cabin, or individual gifts for each person. You can leave the gift in that cabin's fish extender if they have one, or you can ask their stateroom host to put it in the room. Alternatively you can leave the gift with guest services and ask for it to be delivered to your recipient. You should attach a note to the gift that says its a gift from their secret mickey.

If you would like to join in the Secret Mickey exchange, please PM CDNDisneyMom with names of everyone in the room who is participating, ages of children, and your room number (if known). Please could you also include a vague idea of your favourite characters/what things you like to receive etc

Cut off date for joining the secret mickey exchange will be sometime in August 2014. PMs will then be sent out with details of your recipient.

I will try my best to respond to all PMs within a day or two, but please be patient!

Calling all Sweet Tooths!!!! ​

(From Caroline, lovingthemouse) Ok, I have seen the word candy mentioned a few times on our FB posts. There are a few of us who do indulge!!! So, I have decided to take on the Candyswap .


What it is? It is as delicious and tempting as the title infers; participants exchange candy among each other. For instance many countries/states/areas have some specialty which you might consider introducing to your fellow cruisers. I know that here in New England we have an awesome candy, which I wont share the name of, but, OMG get your taste buds ready.
If there is nothing really specific from your neck of the woods, don't worry! Just bring along something you find mouthwatering and know that others will appreciate you sharing it.

Send a PM with the following information to me, lovingthemouse (Caroline), and I will make certain that it is posted on the first page by Claire as we update.

- Your name (DIS name and first name)
- Room number
- Number of people in your stateroom participating
- Likes/dislikes
- Allergies

If we have a large response, we will break the groups down into smaller numbers so that you are not packing enough candy for the entire ship!! Try weighing your bags then!!

Taking part so far:

Claire and Lee - Pinky166
Chasity and Gus - Dizneyholic
Jessica's mom, dh and Jessica - Jessica's mom

Scrapbook Exchange!!​

Scrap booking: the hobby of creating compilations in scrapbook albums, such as keepsakes, pictures, periodical articles, etc

No - we will not be scrap booking. Please note that DCL may offer a scrapbook class and that this class is normally geared to beginners and families although you may want to stop by to check out the free supplies they may offer.

This is a notice for those interested in a SCRAPBOOKING EXCHANGE!!!

Remember:
You don't have to spend a lot of time or money towards this exchange.
The gift can be homemade, already in your scrapbooking inventory, or purchased.

Some ideas include page borders, journaling boxes, photo frames, titles for pages, and small embellishments.
Your gift can have a theme related to something you do on the ship (games, dining, pirating, etc.), our ports-of-call, cruising in general, Disney, or whatever else comes to mind.

If you are interested in participating in a scrap booking exchange on our fabulous 2014 WBTA cruise, then please send a PM to Melodie (MagicMe). Please include your DIS Name, First Name and your cabin number. Please note that regardless of cabin number, each person is an individual participant. Thanks.

Please PM them with your name, cabin number and how many pins you would like to buy.

PIN TRADING!​

From Crystal (DISNEYFAN_SD)
DH and I were wondering if anyone would be interested in pin trading? We could set up a time and date once all of the tasting dates etc have been determined by DCL.

DIS Group Dining List
​

Susan (Geffric) is collating a list of DISers that would like to be seated in the same area in the Main Dining Rooms.

The thought is to have a section of the each seating, early and late, of the dining room devoted to people that on included in the DIS/FB group and their friends/families/relations. This does mean that the group will all have the same rotation and stay together the entire trip.

Please PM Susan (Geffric) the following info:
Booking Number
Main Name on Booking (Real Name)
Main or Late*
Special Requests - allergies etc

Closer to the date i will group us in groups of 6-10 and let DCL know that we are all travelling as a group.
If you already know who you'd like to sit with, please let me know in your message.
I will start posting who has requested what seating a we get closer.
