04/27/11 DCL's WONDERful LA-VANCOUVER REPO ON THE WAY TO ALAKSA

[tig82174]

We know SOMEBODY that already owns at GC Villas!!! He's away in Peru at the moment, but when he gets back, I'm sure he'll be all over this thread and the 1st Alaskan!

Your plan is our plan too... and probably just about everyone else's on this cruise!

Won't this be MAJOR FUN!

Yes...I know who you're talking about...and I half posted that question in the hopes he would see it and answer (since he owns EVERYWHERE! ). However, you are right....we suspect that everyone is trying to do the same thing we are which is why we're thinking we may be just as well to use points to stay at Paradise Pier or DisneyLand hotel (we have used points to stay at DL hotel once before and were completely happy with it)

 

[fourfoxesinpa]

We're very excited that we just transferred to this sailing! Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

 

[cquick]

Anyone who owns at GC Villas or has used points to stay there?

Hey! We remember you from the first Magic TA to Barceloa cruise! Great to see everyone!

 

[cquick]

I ALMOST bought more points for DL Villas but we really have enough points for now. It was very tempting, though

 

[cquick]

Just a thought - seeing as there are so many people doing this as a B2B, mightn't it make more sense to have one thread for the entire LA to Alaska and then treat each as a segment, people joining for segment 1, segment 2 or both?

It might make it less confusing than 2 separate threads.

Just my thoughts.

YES, IAN, I THINK SO TOO. It's too much to try to keep up with LA to Vancouver, Alaska, AND B2B!

My DH is taking college courses in the evening, and last night on campus it was a whopping 70 degrees. Now we're both TX born and raised, but we HATE the heat (oyyy, you can't believe our A/C bill this last brutal summer). So he was loving the weather. But he kept passing these tiny little college girls who were bundled up in sweatshirts and scarves, saying "Oh MY GOD, it is like so cold!"

Now this whole layering thing...I've never gotten the logistics of that. Especially when it involves taking off a long sleeve as the day warms up and tying it around my waist. Frankly I don't need what amounts to a big flag emphasizing my rear any more than it already is.

On the bright side, when the lighter fall clothes go on sale in 2010, we can stock up on some good deals in preparation for 2011

Shout out to Karen! Well I just keep bumping into you lately! So nice to finally have someone around who understands my vigorous love of champagne cocktails.



Ditto!

LOL Funny you should mention that- yeah our a/c bills are high, wouldn't dream of having a vehicle without an a/c either (I know in some other places they actually drive vehicles without a/c. It's unimaginable here! LOL) and yeah, we prefer cooler weather. We just don't get what we wish for here, as you know (unless it's raining and I'm not particularly fond of consistently rainy weather LOL.)
Personally I don't generally spend much time on outside decks during the day on the previous cruises we've done. DH was usually the one that spent the majority of the time with our youngest at the pool. Part of that was me unable to sit out in the sun due to the pigmentation issue I have on my face (pregnancy mask that didn't go away and gets worse in the sun) but also I'm not fond of sweating. Me no likey to go out there and get all sweaty. But then that was before I'd lost some weight (recently and still working on it) so I wasn't wearing "light" clothes like shorts... just capris really. Which aren't comfortable if you have soaked them in sweat. Yeah that's no fun.
So it will be interesting to be able to go out on the decks and not have sweltering heat/humidity... cool with humidity I'll probably like better. If it's really cold though is what I'm worried about. and yeah I'm with you, I don't think it would be a good idea to tie anything that adds bulk, or attention, to my hind area or generally the bottom half of my body for that matter. LOL Maybe we'd be more used to layering if we lived in an area that had cooler weather? Maybe. LOL

Vigorous love of champagne cocktails?

 

[figment52]

I'm in for both (right now anyway). It will be good to see familiar faces.

 

[rcostello1]

Didn't want this to get buried in my last post. So for all the uber planners out there....

Easter for 2011 will be Sunday, 4/24/2011. That will be the Sunday before we board in LA on Wednesday.

Wow that's late for Easter! One day before its latest possible date (Apr 25). For future planning, Easter is on April 25 in 2038.

We are this cruise and the first Alaska cruise in a cat 3. With so many people doing back to back, what will they do with us? Least of my worries. Robbing banks is first on the list. We could buy a car with the small fortune these two cruises cost!

We were booked to do the WB TA a year from now but this sounds way better. I see lots of familiar names from the 2005 and 2008 PC cruises, and a few from the 2010 WB TA thread.

This morning I scurried to see when Passover fell out and was over in 2011. Fortunately it ends the day before we would have to leave for LA. Otherwise I would have ended up having to cancel the booking.

 

[DMMarla07860]

so we just booked the cruise after this one, so it will be back to back for us as well

And he has SO MANY POINTS and is KEWL


must maybe he will book the Grand Villa and we can all be his guests????

 

[Mickey&JoshNut]

Come on Elaine - follow the rules and instructions from the thread leader.

No special privileges for friends and\or butter tart providers!

Ken

Ken....I wasn't looking for any special privileges....it's just that when we booked I had emailed Georgie with all our details...with the exception of what dining we had because we didn't know.

Georgie....we have second seating....

 

[Mickey&JoshNut]

And he has SO MANY POINTS and is KEWL

ohhh....that would be KEWL...think we could talk him into it????

LOL hear you about the car.... and with a soon to be driving (has learner's permit already!) kiddo.. the car thing was a "thought" (same thought: we could buy a car with this amount of money!) but also this will likely be our last cruise with her. She'll be 17 at the time of these cruises- and even then she'll likely have to lose some job somewhere if they won't let her take off for this vacation. Any cruise after that- likely in 2012 because we'll be broke for awhile- she'll be in college.

And as for the Easter thing- I hadn't considered that. ack..... not good. We'll likely be at DL on Easter which is bad... missing Easter at home and with our church is bad and so is being at DL at Easter (is it crowded then?) Hadn't considered that- but there's nothing that can be done about it. I doubt we can talk DCL into changing the dates. LOL hmm, think the holiday affects the price of the repo to Vancouver?

Thanks for pulling this together, although it is more evidence for the argument to consolidate threads.

 

[bonzie1]

Thanks for pulling this together, although it is more evidence for the argument to consolidate threads.

I hear you... and even considered making this thread a B2B right from the beginning, but... there still would need to to be 3 Threads... Information would be duplicated everywhere...

Another thought... In fairness to those who may only be doing one cruise or the other it makes sense to keep the threads and their corresponding information separate.

Some may want to participate in activities on only one of the cruises. Ex.) FE Lists, Scrapbooking Classes, Room Tours, etc.

It's a tough call... This is a unique situation with such a high percentage doing both cruises. I don't want to step on the toes of the other thread. That's why the link to Alaska was provided in the opening post, to make things easier for everyone. The 1st Alaskan thread did the same. I only inquired about B2B out of interest.

Maybe those of us who are doing the B2B, which seems to be a very high volume of folks, can make an unofficial agreement to use one thread or the other as our "primary" thread to talk about B2B festivities.....and if it continues to be the case that most folks from the DIS are B2Bers then most of the activity will naturally select towards one thread or the other without the need to officially close the other thread (making it still an option for folks only doing one cruise or the other). I can't say 100% that this would work....but I will share this: Jason and I are doing a B2B in Sept. 2010....the last 10 night Med and then the WBTA on the Magic. It has just happened that the majority of folks who have "registered" on the last Med thread also happen to be doing B2B with the TA....and, as such, the thread for the last Med is pretty much stagnant because we all mostly use the WBTA thread to communicate.....just a though???

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

Wow that's late for Easter! One day before its latest possible date (Apr 25). For future planning, Easter is on April 25 in 2038.

We are this cruise and the first Alaska cruise in a cat 3. With so many people doing back to back, what will they do with us? Least of my worries. Robbing banks is first on the list. We could buy a car with the small fortune these two cruises cost!

We were booked to do the WB TA a year from now but this sounds way better. I see lots of familiar names from the 2005 and 2008 PC cruises, and a few from the 2010 WB TA thread.

you are so right about the car cost! LOL
Since we were waitlisted for cat 3 for the repo to LA (thru TA with request into IC or whatevr that's called) we talked to our TA about what the cat 3 was going for.... which is why we nixed the idea of going for cat 3! The quote was going for same we'd been quoted for the WBTA! (if it had been available at that time, which it wasn't) Same price as a 14nt cruise for either 6nt or 7nt!? wowzers.

Maybe those of us who are doing the B2B, which seems to be a very high volume of folks, can make an unofficial agreement to use one thread or the other as our "primary" thread to talk about B2B festivities.....and if it continues to be the case that most folks from the DIS are B2Bers then most of the activity will naturally select towards one thread or the other without the need to officially close the other thread (making it still an option for folks only doing one cruise or the other).

I agree.
And I'm not just biased because I'm going on the WBTA but cancelled the 10 nt Med. LOL
But gosh that list sure does show that a lot of people are doing B2B! This will be our first B2B and it appears the ship isn't gonna be empty at all. LOL

I know this won't happen- but I wonder what would happen if EVERYONE on the ship was doing B2B? Single file us all off and then back on? haha (yes I seriously realize this wouldn't ever happen)
