Just got brunch on Monday for my crew

I'm able to click on Brunch reservations now and it's showing availability, but only for parties of 3-4.

Well now I feel really left out now that we are only a party of 2. This just sucks big time.

 

[TheTXTaylors5]

Wow! I got both parts of the sandwich!

CONGRATS WENDY!!!

We are thing on doing the vacation club. Will we get a better deal while on the ship?

DH went to the dvc on the ship. We also went to the one on land, since I didnt go on the ship, and we got the same salesperson!! It was the same deal, nothing special or different because you are on the ship. I was shocked that DH was interested after he heard the spiel. We actually bought it on land, and then ran the numbers, and decided financially it was cheaper for us not to buy. The maintenance fees for the number of points we were going to buy just wasn't cost effective for us.

CONGRATS WENDY!!!

Thanks!

Tomorrow will come way too early, but I'm sure Jasmine will be happy that "we" got another

Just got brunch on Monday for my crew

Can I ask how many are in your crew? Did you log in and out, did you refresh, how did you do it?

Oh and congrats.

 

[AmberDaClown]

Still no Brunch reservations for us. Gosh this just really puts a damper on the whole trip now. I have never been so disappointed. I guess it is just not meant to be.

 

[JsMom2]

Oh and congrats.

Thanks, we have a crew of four. I will let you know that there is a good chance that someone or two in my group will not want to make the brunch. They are all duds.

I did not log in and out, if by refresh you mean...I left the computer, took a shower and when I got back the openings were available.

I am so sorry you couldn't get a reservation.

I go away for a minute to take my Sudafed and sit back down to find out Bill is once again a . . .

I showed finally availability for 1-2 for brunch. Tried to book for the only time available and then it said not available. Now I got the above message.

I am gonna and then

 

[WIFamily]

Wow, I thought my pics were huge at 3MB. Takes forever to email them.

Oh, I don't email the Raw files, and my large jpegs come out around 3-4MB each. I usually process them to smaller sizes, since a jpeg from my Rebel XT is like 3000x2400 pixels. That's huge for an email or the web. I usually use PhotoShop to resize them, but lately I've been using Adobe Light Room. I like that application, and was part of the beta testing for it. I'll usually resize them to something like 800x600, and that takes them to about 100 or so KB, so about a 1/10 of a Megabyte.

Just got a call from DCL!!

Beth and Jim
Jason, Cindy, and parents
Jennifer and Bill

You are all confirmed in the private room at Palo for brunch on Dec 10th at 10:30!!

Also there will be my DB, DSIL, DSis, and DSis' friend!

DCL will be cancelling your private Palo ressies - Beth maybe that's why they were in your booking.


The rest of you who still need brunch, log on now!!

I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU............ETC....

I GOT BRUNCH RESSIES FOR ME AND DH!!!!!!!!!

 

[TheTXTaylors5]

The DCL website is notorious for giving errors and acting up at times. WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE! So, for anyone experiencing difficulties, refresh or try again in a few minutes. Also, always makes sure to print any reservations you book online. I have a whole folder designated for our online reservations and registration.

Keep trying and the site will eventually get back to normal.

Congratulations to those able to book the Palo Brunch so late in the game. You must be a VERY lucky person or have good karma.

Does anyone know if there will be any High School Musical activities on the ship?

Congratulations on your pirate Wendy!

Jasmine will be thrilled! DD5 can't wait to meet Jasmine! She is so excited to meet all these new little friends. She is a "social butterfly".

[AmberDaClown]

Totally locked out of the reservation site and so mad about having that brunch time only to have it then come up as not being available. This has TOTALLY ruined my opinion of DCL. The phone reservation lady was so rude and unhelpful.

I now cannot wait to get this trip over with.
