Holding in case we need more space for info...

 

[Davids-Coco]

So my suggestion for name is Magical Mickey Tour (playing off The Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour"). I think it would be easy to play with the stuff that is already out there and make some cool graphics... and DH and I do have enough graphical experience to get it done (I think ).

Love the Name.... Thank you so much for starting a new thread. You rock!!! One of my DD's wanted me to let you know she likes the group name "Mickey's Magical Matey's Tour". Just thought I would throw that out there. On a side note, I know most of you have little kids, but on our last cruise the older kids started/had their own "kids only" thread. So my DD started one http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2302844 Hopefully some other folks who join will have kids who can use the thread. It made it so much easier for them to have instant friends on board instead of feeling all alone. Well, I need to get doing some never ending laundry. Happy Saturday all... Big

Here is our information that you will need. It won't let me edit your post.sorry.

Sounds good. I will have to edit the original to add info. I have also added the kid's thread.

I say we go with Mickey's Magical Matey Tour (Matey's tour is too many possessives, lol) How's that?

DITTO to Both Can't wait till we all start planing all of the dis stuff. Here is a list of things our dis group has done in the past. Any other ideas, suggestions, thoughts??

dis met and greet
dis cabin tour..one diser on our last cruise had the Roy suite.
dis printed name tags
dis custom made rubber braclets with group name & sail date on them.
fish extender gifts
secret Mickey gift exchange..had a $25 limit.
dis PJ breakfast
dis adult cocktail/dance party

We don't have to do all of them, but it is fun to do some of them. And I would be willing to head up a few of them if need be.

 

[Davids-Coco]

I definitely like the ideas... a meet and greet should be easy enough. I love the PJ breakfast idea too (although could pose an issue for our "bare" sleepers! ) I would think that things like bracelets would depend on the number of cruisers we have. Name tags would be uber easy. Great ideas - keep em coming!

So where is everyone in planning? We have some general ideas and are looking at excursions and the like but will probably only do minimal stuff off ship with such a little one. I am really hoping to hit up the spa at least once! Our budget is in order and savings are coming in... and Disney Reward Dollars racking up. We know where we WANT to stay pre-trip but don't know how availability will be at 7 months - DVC resort and not our home resort. So, general ideas are there, but the specifics are still a bit up in the air. I'm a massive planner though - we are be planning our next vacation and quite possibly making the reservation during this trip (12 month window DVC home resort)!!

Warning Massive Planner here as well..

We are renting ATV's in St. Marteen for the day and ridding all around, going to the beach etc.. This past time we went on a 3 hour ATV tour with 15 other dis'ers it was awesome. And they have double rider atvs so our girls each got to come with us.

In St Thomas we are doing the sail and snorkle tour through Disney. Hubby and the boys will do something else.. DH dosen't swim at all, and the boys would just go look for sharks and try to get eaten Gotta love 8 year olds

I would also like to jet ski somewhere other then Castaway key..they are $190 for 1 hour for 2 people. This time on Castaway Cay we might do the stingrays and rent a waterbike. And try real hard to get a spot with shade.

As for pre-stay we are most likely doing the New Residence Inn in Port Canaveral..they have a great price on a 2 full bedroom suite. Or stay in Orlando at Hilton Grand Vacations Club and do a Disney Dinner show the laua one or the Mid Evil Knights show...we did the Knights on in Los Angeles and it was awesome.

As for stay after the curise..due to flight schedules we are going to try to stay at the Hyatt [?] at the air port. Makes life much easier.

Right now we have $400 OBC...$200 for booking on board for each room. Gonna transfer to Dreams for an additional $200 each room for a total of $800That typically covers all tips and one spa treatment. After I make final payment I start putting away $100 a week till we leave for all the other purchases we make...Its surprising how fast things add up..and we don't drink any alcohol, can't imagine if we did drink how much it would be

Well can't wait to hear from everyone else. Big

 

[Davids-Coco]

Rebecca, I know how you feel. We aren't big drinkers but even a couple really really add up quickly.

 

[GoofyFD]

I want to go now!!!! It was a very long day. I need a Rum Punch....

 

[Davids-Coco]

Happy Thursday... is it the weekend yet??

 

[schwenksvillemouse]

We have not decided on where to stay before or after quite yet. I am the planner, and this is our first cruise. We will probably stay close to the airport on Friday night, and somewhere at Disney on the next Sat night. We are DVC members so we will probably stay at a DVC property.

As far as excursions I think we will keep it simple in the islands, and hit some beaches. On Castaway Cay I think we will do the stingray adventure.

 

[GoofyFD]

On Castaway Cay I think we will do the stingray adventure.

This was wonderful!!!!! We did this last time and ALL of us had a blast. I would recommend also renting a bike and riding the bike path first thing before it gets to hot on CC. We have done this the last two trips and had a great time.

 

[PrincessFAN2006]

We are booked on this cruise too.

My parents just returned from this cruise (7 day Eastern) and booked for me while they were onboard. I'd love to "meet" some other diser's before we sail.

As for excursions...I'm hoping to find kayacking or horseback riding somewhere. I've done both of these on the Western stretch.

 

[hattiedog]
