They are offering discounts in cats 4-8. Call DCL and either upgrade your room, or get some $$$ back!!!

Well... we get Jipped.. Again..

I called DCL and apparently they have recently updated their requirements of proof of residents...

They no longer accept a Deed to your home Yet.. if you had a Lease it would be ok..

They require a FL driver's license.. which we don't have..
A Voter's ID card.. which.. we can't get..
A FL lease.. which we don't rent we own..

I have several hours, I wonder if I can do this until I hit 3000.

Congratulations Amber! I'll update the blog when I get home.

(I didn't even see you sneaking up on me.)

Yay me! We have our DD in PNO tomorrow night and are going to see The Kingdom and have a dinner out alone. They do it where she takes gymnastics and she LOVES it. $5 an hour 6-11. Just makes it hard when you have to go back out and pick her up.

Arrggg Matey Congrats on your pirate

Thank you thank you.

I have a complete time waster for any astronomy buffs. I found it on a board talking about HEROES. It is a UK site that you can enter in any year from about 1501 on and see what an eclipse looked like from space as well as from many points on the ground. I have been having lots of fun with it.

Here is a site where you can see the phases of the moon on any given date. Look how we will have a great chance to see lots of stars during our cruise!!!

Nope... No bills accepted.. and I don't understand why a House Deed wouldn't be accepted and yet a Renter's Lease would..

 

[AmberDaClown]

Maybe because they are only offering it to full time residents. Lots of folks have two houses (snowbirds), but doing a rental indicates...

Nevermind, I don't know. I am in the next state over and I don't get discounts by saying well my state TOUCHES FL.

 

[pfishgirl]

Okay, I must get off this board and go home to let my poor dog out!!

I was in a meeting all day, and made the mistake of trying to get a quick DIS fix before I left the office.

Neglecting a child for a meal I can see... But a poor innocent Dog of a bathroom break!!! Shame on You...

Thanks for that link, that Eclipses Online Portal is amazing!

I checked the moon status when we first booked. I was torn between wanting a new moon and having a full moon. I think you're right, a new moon will be very nice.

Probably because so many people live elsewhere and have a second vacation home in Florida. Folks probably would not pay rent just to get a discount.

 

[AmberDaClown]

So does this mean I can go and rent at one of those month to month places? Do it just for the month of December when I am cruising and then be done with it? Heck I could rent at some really fleabag place that doesn't even check for credit. Would what I paid be enough to be worth the discount?

I wonder what the current rate for FL is for three people for a Cat 7 with no transfers nor insurance.

Hi everyone! We just booked onto this cruise THIS MORNING and I am totally, totally beside myself! Had no plans at all 3 weeks ago, then we booked the 4 nt Dec 9 on Sept 11--then last night I found this DEAL on this cruise and our TA managed to switch us! It's our first cruise, and we are sooo looking forward to it. It'll be dh and me (hoping for a little grown up time to make up for totally missing our 20th anniversary this summer), ds 7 and dd 4. So far I've read the first SEVEN pages of this thread, so it's gonna be a while before I catch up!!

A quick question--when I managed to get in on the website this morning there was NOTHING available at Palo...is it just me, or have others had this experience? Planning on hitting the booking desk as soon as we board.

Happy to be here!!

 

[JsMom2]

Are the discounts hefty or are the prices hefty?

Good point. I edited my post to clarify.

Okay, so if there are two couples who own winter houses in Florida and summer houses in the midwest. If couple A has Florida drivers licenses, and couple B has Ohio licenses, then couple A can get the discount, but couple B can't????

And what about the college kids who are only renting an apartment in Florida during the school year. I guess since they have a "magic" lease, they can get the discount too???

That is so.....STUPID!!
