(Sorry. Couldn't resist.)

We are leaving on the 17th so i am really in panic mode. As far as the cruise...should i bring beach towels for the ship and the island or are they available? Do adults get dressed up for Pirate night for the most part or do most leave it to the kids to get decked out only?
Not that I want to sound like a lush or anything (I am not) but can we bring our own bottle of wine in our suitcase or will they scan, see it and take it away?
Someone mentioned having a Mickey "hand" for autographs which i think is great but where do i get that and do the kids have to hold on to them to get signatures or can you turn them in for signatures on the ship? If so how, where, what?
And then...forgive me because I forgot where to get a copy of this threads' meeting places to meet and greet when we get on the ship? Furthermore, we will be getting to the ship fairly early and i'm not quite sure what we should do, sign in with, etc., instead of just being in awe of our surroundings? I figure take care of business first and then RELAX!
BY the way what is a Konk cooler anyway?

4Gus-Gus&Figaro said:Your kid has great taste in baseball players! And he really did have some amazing seasons with the Sox. It's funny, because sometimes fans here in Detroit will start up the "Oh-we-oh - Maggg-lio" chant. Not sure how he feels about that, since he didn't leave on the best of terms...
And please understand that I'm not trying to steal the poster off of Cameron's wall! I just thought, someday, if he ever gets tired of it, well, you know...

Seems like adults and kids alike are dressing up....or not.
Not sure about the answer to this one :-(
You'll have to purchase the "hands" ahead of time (at the parks?) but you can leave them at Guest Services on board in a plastic bag with or without markers for the characters to sign.
Go to Marys (wdwlvr) website in her signature for a copy of the Navigator she has drawn up for the meeting places and schedule of DIS events.
I'm curious too!
Hope this helps a bit!

Dallas92 said:As far as the cruise...should i bring beach towels for the ship and the island or are they available? No need to bring beach towels. There are towels by the pools and you will also be able to pick up towels as you leave the ship on Castaway Cay. They are smaller than a beach towel so we usually pick up two for each of us.
Do adults get dressed up for Pirate night for the most part or do most leave it to the kids to get decked out only? Plenty of adults get dressed up as well and plenty don't so you can't go wrong. Most do dress for both dinner and the party.
Not that I want to sound like a lush or anything (I am not) but can we bring our own bottle of wine in our suitcase or will they scan, see it and take it away? You certainly can bring on your own wine. We have a friend who has had special bottles of wine made for some of our cruises and he's been known to bring 30+ bottles on board. If you bring it to dinner with you then you will most likely be charged a corking fee. However if you want to enjoy it in your room just ask your room steward for some wine glasses - thye will be happy to supply you with them.
Someone mentioned having a Mickey "hand" for autographs which i think is great but where do i get that and do the kids have to hold on to them to get signatures or can you turn them in for signatures on the ship? If so how, where, what? They are usually available at a number of shops around WDW and I think even at the airport shop. Best tip is to put them in a large ziplock bag with your name and room number on it along with some colored sharpies and drop it off at guest services.
And then...forgive me because I forgot where to get a copy of this threads' meeting places to meet and greet when we get on the ship? Click on the Member Cruise logo in my signature. That will take you to the web page. Then go to the photo gallery. A copy of the navigator is there for download as a 4 page word document. A full color copy will be in your DIS packet which you can pick up either at the DIS meet on Saturday, in the terminal on Sunday or at the DIS meet Sunday afternoon.
Furthermore, we will be getting to the ship fairly early and i'm not quite sure what we should do, sign in with, etc., instead of just being in awe of our surroundings? You can sign up the kids for the clubs online. Then when you get to the terminal get their wrist band (look for today's tip of the day). If you didn't get Palo and want to try for it there will be a paper when you check in to see where to go for that. Then head for lunch. If you think the kids would like the pool early have their wear their swimsuits under their clothes, pick out a table by the pool and grab lunch there.
I figure take care of business first and then RELAX! BY the way what is a Konk cooler anyway? The Konk Kooler is the signature drink on Castaway Cay. I'm sure any of the bartenders on board can make one for you. There are also different drinks of the day and a sailaway drink as well.
I don't want to feel lost and stressed when we get there. All I know is that we are wearing our awesome looking members cruise tees onto the ship. Any further help, information, details would be so helpful. PLEASE HELP!!!
Hope this has helped. It is all about having fun and sailing with 100 plus friends you haven't met yet!

Dallas92 said:Ok everyone...you are all doing a great job getting the post count way up there! Congratulations to you all. Unfortunately I am a little puzzled that I haven't received many details as to the Member cruise itself. I guess i was expecting more details from DVC on tips of what to bring, what to expect, what to be prepared for, etc.
We are leaving on the 17th so i am really in panic mode. As far as the cruise...should i bring beach towels for the ship and the island or are they available? Do adults get dressed up for Pirate night for the most part or do most leave it to the kids to get decked out only?
