Its not the number of bags we are worried about. It is the weight of those bags.

Linked dining

I asked DCL what I need for linked dining. I need the Guest's reservation number and the name of the lead Guest on the reservation. I had this already from some of you, but I need some more.
The maximum on one table is 10 persons.
So if there more who want to join the linked dining let me know.
We have for early 6 and for late 12 now.
Are there other wishes for example the restaurant for formal diner? Servers? Then I can ask this also.

For those visiting Aulani while we're in port

Received a letter today from Aulani informing us of construction during our 1 day stay, DOn't think it's much impact for us but thought I'd share.

Quote:

We're excited that you'll soon be visiting us! Over the course of our first year, Guests have told us
again and again how much they've enjoyed their time at Aulani. So, in order to give our Guests more
of what they love, we'll be expanding our Resort as part of our final buildout beginning in September.
This expansion will include enhancements to the Waikolohe Pool area, as well as the addition of new
water features, two new Quick-service dining options and a new, larger venue for our popular Starlit
Hui show.
These projects are being carefully scheduled to minimize impact to your stay, however, you will see
and hear work in progress-so we hope you'll pardon our appearance and any construction-related
noise. Our most popular features will be available during your stay, including:


Waikolohe Valley pools/water fun area



Beach access and activities



Aunty's Beach House kids' club



Starlit Hui show (except for a short hiatus in the fall)



Other entertainment, including fireside storytelling, outdoor movie nights and visits from
Disney Characters



Laniwai Spa and Fitness Center



All restaurants
Please note that the Wailana Bar and Quiet Pool will remain closed for an indefinite period of time.
Also, the Makai Preserve will close permanently in early October to make way for new water features.
Again, we look forward to your visit. You will receive additional information soon regarding any
impacts to your stay. If you have any questions, please contact

Tour Option in Hilo

Hi Everyone!


I found this tour to take while in Hilo, Hawaii

http://hawaiicruiseexcursions.com/Bi...IslandTour.htm

Cost is $70pp - you need to register on line and leave a $20pp deposit


It has great reviews over at Trip Advisor:

http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractio...ii_Hawaii.html


I emailed the company and let her know that many from this cruise were booking with them, and would we be together - here is Lucy's reply:

Yes, you will be together as a group. You will be in our 25 seater touring minibus. Any number over 25 will be in our 14 seater and/or 6 seater touring vans. You will be stopping at each location in the same order and will see each other at each location.



This tour offers a little more than the DCL tour -which is priced a few dollars less ( $66pp I think)

It includes:



Hilo Cruise Ship Port pickup and drop off

Queen Liliuokalani Gardens

Black Sand Beach

Rainbow Falls

Hawaii Volcano National Park

Jaggar Museum

Halemaumau Crater Overlook

1982 Lavaflow

Thurston Lavatube

Akatsuka Orchid Gardens

Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory

5 hour tour



I thought it would be fun to list those that have booked and are going on this tour! It will be an unexpected / unofficial DIS / Facebook meet!
I've started a doc on the facebook page to list who has booked it.

If you are on Facebook - and book the tour - just edit the doc there and add your info, if not - you can pm me, or post it here and I will add you.

The tour company said they can hold 45 total so there is still room!

Counting the days........ Sherri

Several of us want to get together and watch Once Upon a Time while on the cruise. Hopefully we can get together in a bar and watch it but it is too early to organize since we don't know when it will be playing and if we would be able to watch it in the bar. But we are really hoping

Aloha! Is everyone all checked in for the cruise? I was wondering how many people are interested in sharing 9 passenger vans to go from the Grand Californian to the port. I called Karmel and they quoted about $99 one way for up to 9 people. Super Shuttle said it would be $115 for 9 passengers. I chose the 11:00-11:30 check in time for the cruise. I'm hoping to get there before the Disney buses. Lol! I have a doc started on the Facebook page if you are on Facebook. If not, please let me know and I can add you to the list of people interested in sharing transportation. So far we have 15 people interested. Thank you!

GTY cabins

Now that July 31 passed, has Disney started assigning staterooms to the GTY, OGT & VGT passengers?
