Tarryn is a cool name. Taylor is not the kind of girl to go up to anyone and say "hey, my name is Taylor".

We are paid in full and CC members - I am looking into booking a private excursion to the baths so that we can be on our own schedule as I would like to get a couple of hours of shopping or island seeing too.
Let me know if anyone is interested and I will let you know what I find once I do

Well good ole DCL has already responded clarifing the error and we now we have our club numbers. I never thought they would get back to us so fast.

Tarryn isn't either although once she is introducred she will be fine. Maybe we can arrange a teen get together after muster drill so they can all meet before they go to the teen program.

Sounds good to me! Any other takers on a teen meet?

I have emailed a tour company so once I hear back I will let you know. I am also waiting to hear if friends of ours are booking this cruise and they may want to join. A smaller private group sure beats the ship excursions on time at a place and price

Found a cooler on the Disney Shopping site but it is slightly larger in dimensions than what DCL says is allowed (14.5 x 14 x 13.5 instead of 22 x 14 x9).



Does anyone know how strict DCL is about this? Does anyone have this cooler and have used it while on a cruise?

I have one of my own....not a Disney one....and it's bigger than that one. I've taken it on several cruises, and no one has ever said a thing. Even when we had to kind of "stuff" it into the xray machine.

Maybe we can arrange a gift exchange for them or something like a scavenger hunt - we did that on one DC and the kids loved it - each parent bought pirate stuff and while they were doing the SH we bagged it and each got a bag of pirate loot. We also did mickey ice cream eating compititions and ordered t-shirts.

Looks cool but I have never taken a cooler on a cruise

I like this idea! DS will almost be 14...he is shy to start of with...but once he's comfortable he's a talker! lol

Maybe we can start a thread on here (or even on my web page if I can set it up) where the kids/teens can chat before the cruise! I know ds would like that!

The scavenger hunt sounds like fun! Anyone else interrested??

We (mom and I) went and got material for our Fish Extenders today!! (Um, I hope we are going to do a FE exchange! lol) She's going to put it together. I think this is the perfect thing to keep her busy!

I haven't looked at the link for the cooler yet. I"m hoping to bring one onboard also...need to bring lots of water...I drink it like crazy!!!

Don't worry, they won't go to waste - I'll do a FE with you, even if no one else is interested!

[jeanneg]
