Hello - WOW so many wonderful planners all in one place, this is GREAT! I just found this site and wondered if it was to late to join (I really hope not!). This is our first Disney Cruise and we are beyond excited! Our DD (9) has had cancer twice and this is her Make-A-Wish. She is doing really well and is so happy to be able to go on this cruise. There are 7 of us in all me (35) DH (41) DS (12) DD (9) DSS (9) DS (7) DSS (7).

Welcome to our three new families!

Jewels, Glad to hear that your DD is doing well!

Hi So couple of things

How many for FE? really busy and need to make sure I have right count


Then I will put half sheets of paper taped to our door for the first day...IF you have a room change please come and updated the sheets so that everyone can take one with them that is current. I think someone said the cut off is end of first day. if you hate this let me know, white boards get messed up by little fingers walking down hallways Open to other ideas

Are we planning on assigned days? I am ok with that cause then we get something all the way through the cruise?? What was agreed upon?

Then the fun stuff - when do we get to meet you all. Because I cant sleep at night I was thinking a couple of different times to meet would be fun! Incase we cant make them all.... Maybe dock side of the boat, when we cast off? Maybe some of the sea days? we will have kids off playing while parents work on tans at the pool, welcome to drop by and say hi! What do you dis'ers usually do for meet and greets...

So excited got another disney dress for DD, now what is mommy going to wear

FE list on first page is it. Beyond that, I'm out of the loop... but remember that they don't allow tape to the door.

As for meets, nothing is planned yet. I am game for whatever!

Welcome aboard to all the new posters!

It's hard to believe we sail in 2 weeks!

For those of you new to the disboard, I would encourage you to check it out thouroghly because there is so much great info available from boarding to excursions to even the let down post cruise.

Hope all of you have a magical cruise!!

 

[JoRo]

Ok thanks for the reminder on the tape! I will put out our FE with minnie and mickey on it with the papers

Ok at 5 we will do our best to be on the port side of the boat, deck 10, at the back where it looks like Palo is, while we take off....that looks like a fun place and somewhat easy to find - hope to see more of you there.

If I get to Home Depot I will pick up the lime green mickey paint chips so that you know its us.....hope to meet some of you there and other places...any other ideas?

lunch buffets on sea days, pool times?

This is our 2nd cruise. And I have been lurking and finding out all kinds of fun things on this board. Love all the little tidbits and secrets. This cruise it will be DH and 2 DD ( ages 11 and 7 ) and of course myself( mom). We will have extended family, but this is their first Disney cruise. We are in room 6524 and would like to be added to the FE list (do I need to add it anywhere?)
Thanks

We loved the cabanas!!! And would do them again in a heartbeat!!

I just posted a bunch of pictures on the main thread about the cabanas if anyone wants to see them.

LisaG- thank you for sharing the pictures I so want a cabana! There are 5 (3 adults, 2 toddlers) of us and it looks like it might get a little crowded if we shared with another family? Of course I am sure they are all booked at this point.

Spaingirls - I know Davids-coco is in charge of FE and she has been really busy, I am sure she will add you to FE if its not to late.....

Ok have to go working on FE's tonight, picked out all my clothes, DS and DD, now just need to pick out which disney gowns she brings....so excited!

 

[Davids-Coco]

If no one minds me adding Spaingirls to the FE list, I will.

We need meets... And... I have a little surprise for everyone at some point here! So check in if you are going to be there!

Maybe dock side of the boat, when we cast offtowards the back near Palo - just looking at the map of the boat - looked like decent place?

Isn't that when the sailaway party is? I don't want to miss sail away.

 

[casana]

I have no problems with adding spaingirls

However I noticed that Davids-Coco is not in the list of FE's, are you participating? let us know asap!!

 

[Davids-Coco]

Casana, thanks for thinking of me! I am not. I didn't have time to finish my fe gifts for everyone so... We will be flying an Oregon duck (football) flag instead of a FE! Lol.

It's only 14 more days!! I've been to Disney World about two dozen times, and I've been on 5 other cruises (not DCL), but I am still so excited!! I can't wait: to watch the ocean go by on our sea days; to go to our character dining; to sit by the pool; to eat anything I'd like off the menu; to meet lots of new people; to go mountain biking at St. Maarten, to spend time with my husband; and - to do absolutely nothing. And I am practically a senior citizen. We will have so much fun!!!!!!

The cabanas can only be reseved ahead of time by concierge so they're will most likely be some available when we board.

And DCL only allows 6 people per cabana.

Fine by me

 

[LisaG520]

How about meeting at 3pm in the promenade lounge?

That way no one will miss any of the party. Plus it's inside, quiet, and air conditioned.

 

[JoRo]

Didnt know anything about a sail away party this is our first disney cruise, assumed they might do something and it would be a general location to see a few folks - of course we need several meets, maybe on the sea days? I dont know these boats so open to anything.

I am up for 3pm I think we will be there by noon ish. sad but true I dont know when the bus will pick us up from the BW resort. They said they resort will let us know ....so excited!

Plus Monday/Tuesday I will be at disneyland no kids for the Halloween Trick or Treat party YEAH YEAH...told our DD we will be at "work" ...hahaha

 

[Spaingirls]

Thank You for adding us to the FE's. Are there assigned days or are we giving little tokens everyday? We will be there at 3 pm. If anyone finds the navigators for the Eastern group this week, please post!!! My kids cannot wait to see what activities there are.
