You guys are soooo helpful! It's great to get so much information before we go since I don't know what to expect.

I call dibs on the 4th.

Hey buster, the 4th is the Wedding Anniversary Dinner (since it's the one event that actually falls on the correct day).

Let's just do ALL the birthdays on Kona night or 50's Prime Time night, wadda ya say? Will menus need to be reviewed...we don't want to miss out on a good menu dessert just because of a Disney cupcake!

Hey ask more questions....we've got some pretty experienced cruisers in this group!. BRING IT ON!!!!

Have you read any trip reports? They are a great way to learn about what goes on. I'm always finding a new piece of information in them.

Well, we will be serving two items that are traditional, childhood 'birthday dinners' in MY family. Spaghetti (Paul, Dianne, Peg) and FRIED CHICKEN (me)

Oh no.....now I think we all have to go to the dollar store and buy birthday gag gifts for everyone else! Oh, oh....I already know what I'm getting for everyone! LET'S DO IT.....cook and cater birthday party night!

Have your birthday noted on your reservation (through your TA or DCL if you booked directly). That night your servers will bring out a cake and sing to you.

ood thing it's early in the trip as we've never managed to get the cake eaten unless we were at a big table. You might find you'll be having some for breakfast!

It's not a fancy cake....I'll see if I can find a picture for you.

We didn't get anything on the cruise where we celebrated our 10th anniversary

Hopefully they will get DD's birthday (and I WILL remind them as a good mommy should!)

2 adults - Keisha and Tom
2 kids - Sophie (7) and Noah (4)
interested in FE - but don't know much about it
Trying to meet families w/ kids the same ages as mine. Would like them to have some friends to meet up with at the kids club.

You are now added to page 1 post 1 alphabetically by DIS name.

WELCOME ABOARD

Scan that list for DIS names of people with kids the same ages as yours and send them PMs. Do you know how to do that?

Check post 1 as I am also moving Ian's description of the activities over there at the top with the sign up information. That may answer your questions about the Fish Extenders. If not, ask away. We do not mind answering questions no matter if we have answered them already or not.

Any questions?

Reminding is ALWAYS a good idea. Also is mentioning it if you would like that cake to the CHOCOLATE.

Hello, fellow Tortolan cruisers!!!

Just checking to say I probably won't be around for a while as I'm off to Southern Spain in the morning for an extended sojourn in the sun and I'm not sure that I'll be able to readily access the internet... I don't get back till August 1st, so I'll wish you all a fab July... TTFN!!!

keisha1 · 07-06-2009, 12:43 PM

I still have a few questions about the FE.
What types of items do people use for this?
Do I need to buy a special pocket thing to hang on the fish? I've seen a picture of this so I get the idea. Where do you get the hanging thing w/ the pockets? Do people use different things for this?
ARe the gifts left each day or just one day or what?

granmaz · 07-06-2009, 12:44 PM

Enjoy your hols Karen!!

Well, I am going to celebrate our wedding anniversary the whole cruise......make that both cruises!!!
