Documentation for April 22 Wonder.

Don't believe we've received anything yet from Disney. Exactly what should we expect and should we have it already? Getting so used to a no paper world, I'm starting to wonder why I would even need any paperwork.

Oh, did anyone catch the 6-7 hours of non-stop disney shows on travel channel on Sunday night? It included an hour on DCL that I've seen before, but was a good catch-up just before the trip. Hope that much disney doesn't raise our expectations too much!!!


Regards,

Roveer

From what I've seen, the baggage tags and whatever remaining paperwork that you can't fill out online will be sent to you about 10 days prior to the cruise.

I caught the marathon about the time Samantha Brown was ending her Grand Floridian show. After that, I had to contend with friends calling and family needing things. Hubby was pretty interested in the Beach Club special, and then was interested in the Behind the Scenes show.

I'm soooo ready for vacation!

Can you believe we're coming up on two weeks??? It's so awesome. AND AND AND!!!!...We've added another trip...DH and I are taking our own little trip to WDW for a few days...without the kids. Airfare was dirt cheap...$230 for the two of us. POPCentury using AMEX reward points. Season passes so no ticket cost (ok, no add'l ticket cost). SO excited!!!

What fancy clothes will I need for our 4-22 wonder? Me, being dad, is curious as to whether or not I need a sportjacket or a full suit? We've got Palo booked for Monday night. I'm a pretty casual guy so a shopping trip is in my future if I need a sportjacket. Suits I have.

Also, what forms do we need to have filled out before bording? I believe they are available on-line so I can get an early start?

Thanks,

Roveer

Roveer,

Lisa and I have Palo reservations for Monday as well. Ours are for 8 p.m.

Although I expect we'll get getting our cruise documents soon you CAN go online and register for everything ahead of time. You'll need your cruise# and whatnot. I did it right around the time I paid off the cruise. Pretty easy to do. If you're using Disney transportation, they need the flight info, but if you're not, they don't.

Although they call it 'dress-up' night versus formal night, my DH is bringing his suit and I'm bringing a very nice pantsuit. My DS (4) will have on a tie and my DD (4) will have on a pretty dress...My thoughts are while you probably don't have to wear a suit on dress-up, you KNOW they're taking pictures and it'd be nice to have a new family picture with us all gussied up. Plus, at Palo...especially at night, I believe they prefer the tie/jacket thing.

13 days!!! Whoo hoo!

UPS man just came and rang the doorbell--I'm so excited! Got our docs and we are only 11 days away from flying to Orlando and 12 from getting on the ship!

 

[LJC1861]

We got out documents tonite as well.

Now it REALLY feels real. Lisa and I had some friends over for dinner this evening. They saw the packet sitting on the bookcase and were extremely jealous. They did a cruise 2 years ago, not DCL, and didn't really have the best time. They have been very curious about every step of our journey this far and we haven't even set foot on the ship yet.

Less than 2 weeks to go! I just cannot wait!

See you all soon,

Linda

STOP WAIT A MINUTE MISTAH POSTMAN!
IS THERE A PACKETTE OF DCL STUFF FOR ME


I'm going to be on pins and needles until our documents arrive!

DH is getting really excited now. He's still a bit nervous about the whole "Pirate Costume" thing on Pirate night.

Question for you Experience Castaway Cay cruisers.... have you ever rented one of the boats to get up close to Flying Dutchman? Thinking about doing that if weather is nice.

T minus 11 days and counting! 11 DAYS!!!!!!!

 

[LadyShiva]

Cat, I feel the same way!

I am READY! Let's go!!!!

Brandie

 

[LadyShiva]

Woohoo! Just got an email from my TA saying he was overnighting my forms.

See ya on the ship!

Brandie

 

[Dawn414]

I got an email from my TA that the docs were sent out Friday...she didn't have them yet...hopefully by Friday I'll have mine.

??? -- If you filled out the online documentation, is there anything you need to fill out in the package?

Dawn McG

 

[mousebrat]

The only additional forms were the Nassau ones--no biggie!

 

[Dawn414]

How awesome is that? We are officially in single digits until cruise day! I remember when it was over 200.....

Dawn McG

 

[CNC1010]

OUR DOCS JUST ARRIVED!!!!!!

SINGLE DIGITS!!! YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!

Ok... it's official.... I don't know how I am going to get through this coming week at work! I'm not going to be able to wipe the smile off my face!!!! They're calling for snow this Sunday!!! UGH! Pray for sunny warm temps on DCL for us all!!!

 

[LadyShiva]

Ditto--our docs just arrived, too!

Oh! And I got a better price on our first rental car (from Budget) yesterday, so I'm pretty tickled.

I'm definitely feeling useless at work. I have been doing all the laundry in a vain attempt to feel productive. I'm washing all the new clothes before we wear them... Whoop-tee-doo, eh?

*wave* Have a great weekend! Stay out of the snow! *grin* It just started here, but it isn't supposed to be much.

Brandie

 

[Dawn414]

No snow...no docs...but about 60% packed!

My TA got the docs yesterday so hopefully today or Monday. Not that there's a huge rush since I filled out everything already. We're not expecting snow (at least I certainly hope not), but it's only about 53 which isn't nearly warm enough for me.

On the plus side, I'm about 60% packed. There is STUFF EVERYWHERE! Kids are 95% done...I'm about 80% done...DH...his dress clothes/pirate shirt is packed...

Have a nice weekend all!

Teleworking today! THANK GOODNESS b/c the DHL Driver delivered the cruise docs this morning and he needed a signature! I knew I had to telework today! THANK GOODNESS I WAS HERE!!! WHEW!

(insert giggle here) JUST SO DARN EXCITED!!!!

My daughter knows we are going on a trip but not when. So we're thinking morning of our flight, to make her wear one of her princess dress up gowns! She'll be half asleep/ half awake and know we can pull this off! She's going to go NUTS when we get there!!!!
