You go to www.ups.com and select to track a package. In the shipping reference # put your cruise confirmation number. Select your country (United States) and put either your zip code or your TA's zip code, if your TA has docs shipped to them first. My TA has the docs shipped directly, so I put in my zip.

I tried the tracking, too, but I couldn't get it.
I put the reservation number in the tracking box (big box). I didn't see a place for country or zip code. There was a place to log in under the box and check previous tracking. I skipped that part because I do not have a log in name/account with them. Am I missing something? When I hit the track button after putting my reservation number in the box it came back saying, "UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later."

I just got this to work - you have to go to track shipments & then "track by reference". You enter your DIS reservation number & the zip of either you or your TA. I found my TA's zip on my invoice & used that. My docs were delivered to her this am, so I should see soon.....

I am so excited for people who have received their documents. How many first time cruisers do we have - does anybody know?

 

[MEAGON2222]

I am new to a 7 day but i did last year dvc member cruise.

 

[disney minnie]

Still no docs! I emailed my TA and she was a little short and said she would contact me when she mailed them. She has also been very clear that I will not receive them before 14 days out. This woman has OBVIOUSLY never heard of the Disboards and how the idea of docs arriving spreads like wildfire!

Don't misunderstand, she has been nice, but I don't think she "gets it"!!!

We are first timers... But I am sure it will not be our last.

Almost makes me wish I had not said anything about getting ours. I hate to make people even more anxious.

for this information Becky.

The tracking worked for me, but I had to try it a couple of times.

A little later the UPS driver showed up with the docs!

Our docs were waiting when I got home! A silver lining to an otherwise dreary day. <sigh!> At least I have my Disney Dreams to keep me going!

 

[Hoagie Pie]

I love hearing about everyone's docs! Keep it coming - I got nothing today, but I love everyone else's doc dance!

 

[mcarr1635]

I am a school teacher also.

I guess that I better tell my principal that I will miss three days of school because of the cruise (we're off Monday for Labor Day - so I will only miss Tues, Wed, Thurs).
It shouldn't be a problem!!

Marlene

Talked to my principal today!! She told me "No problem! Have a delightful Disney cruise."

Docs arrived today here in Oregon.

If you're arriving by plane and going to a hotel first DON'T put your DCL luggage tags on for the flight or they will likely head off to the ship not your hotel. Read the docs on what to do when.

We're at Animal Kingdom 9/2-5 in a savannah view studio. We're looking forward to looking out on the giraffes. We used DVC points for the cruise and Th-Fri. We rented someone else's points for Wednesday night...only $88. Not bad.

I'll update the 8-9-10 list tomorrow when I can count. Maybe I should get my B12 checked...or get some sleep (It's nearly 1 am after a long week).

[aussieinvasion]

You received yours in Australia before I received mine?! Good thing I did my online bookings already so I know we really are going on the cruise. I'm sure they'll come any day now.

Shocking I know I honestly didn't think we'd receive anything now or certainly not in time before we left. I find it totally bizarre that I have received mine. Maybe they organise to send out non US residents earlier or something Hope yours all turn up on Monday

 

[disney minnie]

LiseG -
Preston will be 10 on the 11th. Thanks

 

[rlreags]

Does anyone know much about the area for the 11 year olds? If you have children this age are you letting them check themselves in and out? I am a little nervous about letting DD (11) wander the ship aimlessly. Am I over reacting? I know the ship is out in the ocean, but I guess I am just over protective.

 

[WDW Enabler]

good morning everyone. we are working on our door decorations and fish extender gifts today and pirate costumes and starting packing today. time is running out quickly and work keeps getting the way of my disney planning.

 

[rlreags]

Good morning to you too. We are also working on the door decorations and FEs today. The kids are having so much fun with this stuff. I am so not creative and can't sew a lick, so this is challenging for me. We'll see how this turns out. Should be interesting.
