Are the online forms blurry? I read that somewhere on another thread. Maybe I'll just wait for the docs to come. I was having problems getting the online ones the other day.

Thanks Monstro....O.K. like promised I'm ready to send you the pics...but for the life of me I can't figure out which e mail or where to send it to you. I don't think I can PM it to you? It's been a long meeting day at work on the computer...I'm sure after a good sleep I'll think what a silly question..but in the meantime can someone help.

 

[Monstro]

Ikohawaii,

I sent you a PM with my email address. Send it to me as an attachment and I can take it from there.

By the way - my two youngest girls collect state zipper pulls with their names on them. Would your kids - or anyone else for that matter be interested in swapping?

Monstro

 

[lkohawaii]

Monstro I think I know what you're talking about...but just to be sure can you attach a pic. If you need my e mail address PM me or maybe you have it because I just sent you a pic. Either way if you have a picture Dawn and I will look for it.

 

[Stinasmom]

Ah, yeah, not impressed with the quality of the online cruise docs. They look great in Acrobat Reader on the screen, nice that you can fill it in with the keyboard, but they don't print legibly. Well, now I will still have a reason to dance when the originals arrive on my doorstep!

 

[Monstro]

We got our cruise documents today. Doing the dance!

I think our kids and grandkids would love to swap things with each other - zipper pulls, post cards, magnets - whatever from our home state. I'm planning to bring about 25 with us and then Sierra can decide what she wants to trade for

Lkohawaii and family's picture has been added to our cruise photo album. Who'll step up and be next?

We need more.

I can't believe you got your docs already! YAY! Maybe mine will be here soon.

Hello all! My dad told me about this website yesterday, and now I am addicted.

My husband and I will be on the 6/11. It will be his first cruise and my third Disney cruise. I was on the Christmas cruise in '04 when he was deployed. We don't have any kids. Are there any other couples out there without kids?

We have the late dinner seating. I wish they would tell you your dinner rotation in advance to plan for Palo. I don't want him to miss the first night of AP and I love Lumiere's!

I was reading today and saw that there is a new show starting soon, a twist to Cinderella. I'm sorry to see Hercules leave. It was so funny.

We've booked two excursions...
PV- Historic towns and tequila making
CSL- snorkel & sail fiesta

Even if you mess up on the forms you receive in the mail, they always have extras at port.

Green Mickey?!?

Welcome Aggie00! We are on late seating also. My son is 21 so I wouldn't say he is a kid. Although we are all kids around Disney! Hope you read through the thread and saw we are meeting on the first day at 3:15 in the Promenade lounge. Would love to meet you also. Is your dad on this site a lot? I can't imagine what I would have done without this site for the last year! I would have been clueless boarding the ship. We didn't get reservations for Palo dinner. Just brunch and High Tea. Can't wait!

Welcom Aggie00 glad you found us. PM me the names of you and your DH I'll make your name tags for our Dis meets. I think you can look on the thread and find out when they are. There are 2 of them.

Monstro...I'm jealous...got docs already. Maybe mine will come before I leave now that I filled out the online ones.

 

[Stinasmom]

We are cruise newbies and are so excited! We are quite happy about not having to fly all the way to Florida for this experience too. We have DS4 and DD8 but I do hope they will enjoy lots of time in the clubs!
We have late seating too..could be tricky with the kids...I suspect they will only be joining us for the special nights.
We booked Palo dinner for the Mazatlan night as we are not going on an excursion, there was no other theme that night, and by then we should have been to each restaurant at least once. That is certainly an advantage of a 7-nighter over the shorter cruises.
Well, we are looking forward to meeting you and everyone on board.

Okay, I was wondering if anyone knew what nights were formal and semi-formal nights and if there is any word yet on when the shows are going to be so that I can plan to put my son in Flounders Nursery.

I just spoke with a representative from Disney Cruise Line and he said there is no way to know at this point when the shows or formal/semi formal nights will be because they can change.

I know there are some of you that have cruised with Disney before so maybe you can give me some advise. This is our first Disney Cruise so I'm so glad I have this message board to help out.

My son is 2 and I know he won't sit too long for dinner or a show. I know you can book the Nursery now but I don't want to book the times wrong.

Any advise or does anyone know where I can go to find out what nights I should make arrangements for him? I'm glad I found out you can reserve the times in Flounders now as a Disney rep told me last week I couldn't until we got on the ship.

Thank you so much!

Hi Diz!
You know, I remember writing a post about this and what I'm wearing and some other things in reponse to a post of yours a week or so ago and for some reason it never posted!!?! Oh, well, here is what I know:
We are hearing that Formal night is Sunday night, Semi formal/Captain's Gala (and lobster) night is Thursday night, and Pirate night is Tuesday. No word on 80's night, 70's night or an anniversary/birthday party night for DL...no other themes have been announced. Some of us don't like that many surprises!
Hope that helps! And I hope you get the Flounder Times you want!

New castaway's (tikihut4) have been added to our cruise album..... Four pictures over the last two days. Still need more pictures.

The link is a few posts back.

Who needs the password?

Welcome Aggie00! We have an on-line cruise photo album going. So far we have about half of us in it. I'll PM you the password to access it. I'd love to add you guys to it.

Anyone else get docs yet?

 

[tikihut4]

Regarding the docs. Seeing that some of you have gotten yours already I called DCL today to inquire. They said that ours was sent on May 6th, 3-day air. However, we made our initial reservations through Costco Travel. And they sent the Doc's to them! So . . . called them and they will send them Parcel Post when they process them as received. Would be nice to have them in hand.

I can't remember who posted it, Pppiglet? About reservations on-line! Way cool. They didn't have that 3 years ago. Thanks.

Narrowing down our excursions: For Cabo, DH & DS(14) will most likely do the fishing, and me and DD (10) the beach horseback riding or the kayaking to Los Arcos. We'd love to do both, but not sure if there's enough time. Perhaps we'll do the horseback riding, then see if a local dude could take us to Los Arcos. We've had fabulous luck with local impromptu tours in the past . . . but without our "guys" with us, not sure. I didn't see tux rentals on the on-line extras part of the reservations?? For those of you that already have your docs, do they have the tux rental form included in there?

Thanks
Tami

 

[lkohawaii]

Tami,
We're also interested in going to Los Arcos in Cabo. Any pointers you can give us on getting a local tour company or guide to take us. Can't seem to find anything.

Re: Local Shore Excursions

In the past we usually just hired someone at the dock. Many times at the ports there are companies and taxis, tour companies soliciting the passengers. You just want to be sure it's an actual company. We did this at St. Martin and Grand Cayman to swim with thehsting rays; had amazing experiences, custom & private and many times less expensive. There are no guarentees though, so you'd need to be willing to "go with the flow". Have you tried some of the other cruise sites. There's probably a wealth of information at www.cruisecritic.com re: Cabo or any of the mexican Riviera Ports for that matter. I just don't have time right now. Have oodles of things to get done before school is out. If you do . . . keep us posted

Thanks,
Tami
