October 21st Wonder

[RDS912]

How many of you that are doing land/sea are going to HNSSHP. We are on the 17th.

 

[jenlovesdisney]

We are not doing it, at least I do not plan on it right now. It seems like a lot of money for nothing really special that my kids will enjoy. But I hope everyone has lots of fun!

 

[MikeScott8]

Add two more, to your list...

Me and the DW will be taking our first cruise (that's why it is only 3 nighter) on this.

No kids, but we don't mind them, and want them whenever it happens and they come along..but that's off the point

Would enjoy meeting other DISers on board. SO if anything gets planned, I only found this thread (saw someone say there are two) please post here. I skimmed the two pages of posts in this one and didn't see anything specific (may have missed it though - if I did let me know)

Also, we are at SSR from Friday the 15th before the cruise and at VWL for one night after it.

Mike

PS - had to acll to make sure they had my cell number in case there are any changes, and was told the documents printed and were on the way. Still don't have them yet, but am waiting...

Keeps getting longer~ that is good! Do we want to do door signs or something? Anyone have an idea?

 

[jenlovesdisney]

Is there anyone on this trip who wants to share a ride? We are going to be leaving the CBR early on the 21st so we can get there quick! I was wanting to be there by 10:30 at the latest. I know that is early but you know what they say~ the early bird gets the worm~ or in this case the reservations! But I was looking at the Excursion and it is a little pricey but fits a lot of people and I thought it might be fun. OK, well if you are interested you can PM me or reply.

Too excited!

Thanks, JENLOVESDISNEY for compiling the list. Yes, I like doing door signs. We are on Deck 5 way far forward. It is very easy to make something on MS Word and then print it onto magnetic paper. That is how I did it. Then you can cut it out if you want or keep it as an 8 X 11 poster size.

As far as sitting together---we already have 7 of us so that will proabably be our limit. It's a bit crazy at our table!! And we are at late seating which I'm figuring most of you are doing early.

Debi,

Can you explain the door signs? I have some magnetic paper and am wondering what type of stuff goes on the sign and such. AS you can tell we are first time cruisers and have not frequented these forums much.

thanks,
Mike

PS - DW and I are in the late seating as well, so we may see you around if we get the same rotation of restaurants.

Hey Mike! Tons of people from these boards have gone to Wal Mart or an office supply store and gotten printable magnetic paper and then made something cute to put on their door. There are tons you can find on the DIS. Here is a link to one thread:

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=634864


In some groups where there are a lot of people going it would be more obvious to have door signs and kind of cool to have DIS member signs made up so you could meet the people you "talk" to!

I made some signs for us but the paper is not cheap! But they seem like fun to make!

 

[RDS912]

what is everyone doing. me and my wife are doing the PWC eco tour on CC. nothing in Nassau.

 

[jenlovesdisney]

We are doing the Dolphin excursion in Nassau and nothing in CC. We are going to relax on the beach! I am debating on the excursion though. I have found some conflicting reports about it and it is a lot of money for the 3 of us and my kids might not remember it.

Hi, Mike. Really whatever you want goes on the sign. It wasn't until our 3rd cruise that I did signs. I did them for the grandparents' doors and ours. Mostly for the kids to find our room easier and as a surprise welcome for the grandparents. But yes, it honestly took me hours of thinking of what I wanted to put on them. One I did had our name "The Mitchell Family" and a Mickey cruising picture and the date I think. Then I picked a character for each of the kids--with their help and printed it out with their name underneath. Then I cut those out and had them on the doors too. We had 4 of our own and an exchange student with us---so total we did 7 separate name/characters too. It was cute! Not real fancy but our family enjoyed them. whatever you come up with will be great! Debi

 

[MikeScott8]

well I threw together a sign last night. When DW got home I told her about the idea and showed the samples I printed on plain paper, and once I got her blessings I printed on Magnetic paper.

here it is...

Good job! I really like it!

 

[MrsHeg]

Our date is getting closer, anyone else out there going?

 

[MrsHeg]

Still no docs here yet, but am hoping for today. I've started the packing process, don't want to wait till the last minute.

CC here we come!

 

[jenlovesdisney]

I am such a planner that it was killing me until FINALLY I got them on Friday. I wonder why there are such inconsistencies in when people get them. I have heard some people get them as early as 30 days out. That would have made me feel much better!



OK, guys, we need to plan a meet! Where and when?? Is everone coming early? I know we will be there before 11 anyone else?

 

[MrsHeg]

We'll be taking the DCL bus from AK, so it looks like we will be there around 2. I'm not exactly sure since this is our first cruise.

I'm on my way out now to pick up more last-minute things, I'm one of the over-packers.

We'll be glad to meet, just let us know when and where!

[MrsHeg]

Tomorrow, tomorrow, we start our trip tomorrow . . . . . .

Can't believe after all these months it's finally time to go.

 

[MikeScott8]

DW and I are off heading to the airport in 30 minutes or so...

hope to see some of you on board next week.

Mike

PS - I also made up shirts with the same graphic (minus the surrounding box) as the door sign I posted. So if you see a couple with matching gray shirts with that design it is us. SAY HI!!

 

[jenlovesdisney]

Can't wait to see you guys!

 

[lrodptl]

We leave in 9 hours!
