I know last year we were first or second in line and got both brunch and dinner. They did say they reserved about 1/3 to 1/2 for booking onboard, but I didn't know how quickly they were booked. I know the DCL bus from WDW arrives around 1:00 pm. We arrived around 8:30 am. We were in line outside before people starting streaming off. I don't know if I would bother again, but I was wondering whether you thought this person needed to arrive by a particular time to get the reservations onboard.

On our last cruise (Dec 2006) we took the DCL bus from WDW and arrived after 1pm. We were still able to book brunch for Palo's. It is definitely worth a try.

I was already logged in before midnight...couldn't get into anything...checked this thread...realized I had to log out and in again...was able to get into the Palo brunch...with a 1030 time...but then got a message to correct something...went back 3 times, same thing...went out of it entirely, back into Palo...AND THE BRUNCH WAS GONE FOR GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, well, I did get dinner the first night. I just don't want to miss any of the presentations by the special guests...so I will have to see.

I guess I will have to try to get to terminal to get an early boarding number and head over to Wave Bands to see if I can get into the brunch. I was on wait list our last cruise, and they called at the last minute...but we didn't go.

Reserved a couple's massage at CC.

Now I am going to sleep!!

Good night and hope everyone got what they wanted.

Susan

 

[bsusanmb]

Oh my gosh....i just went back to the website and the brunch was available...so if you missed out...go back...
I just got 10am on the day at sea....i am so excited...what is the deal? At 12:15 nothing available...at 12:42 availability!


Yea

[2princess 2pirates]

OK, so I have been trying for an hour and still can't get into my cruise plans to book Palo or spa reservations. Our mailer said to begin on 6/15, this will be our 3rd Disney cruise and I confirmed that our CC member number is in our profile, so I don't understand the problem. I have logged out and back in, closed the browser and have restarted my computer several times.

I know that we can go to wavebands, but was hoping to avoid that stress.

Congrats to all of you who were able to get your reservations.

I'll try calling in the morning to see if someone can help me.

It is now after 1:00 am, so I guess I will give up and go to bed.

Good Night!

 

[wltdsnyfan]

Good Morning Everyone!

Hope you got what you wanted yesterday for the SSM09.

By the time I was able to go to sleep I could not sleep. I got a told of maybe an hour and a half sleep last night. Oh well!

Have a good week.

take care

Good morning everyone - happy Monday!

I was able to get brunch at 10 am but a glitch wouldn't let me book it for the 4 of us even though we were linked. So I got brunch for 2 and we'll head to Wavebands and see if we can add Karen and Mike. Also got a couples cabana massage for the first CC day.

 

[bsusanmb]

I just went onto the cruise webpage and checked....there is still avilability on the day at sea at 10:00 for the brunch.

Susan

 

[dvc4life]

Good Morning.

I just checked, like Susan, and there still seemed to be brunch availability for 10:30 on Tuesday.

Good luck to those still trying.

 

[rbcheek]

Okay, now I'm worried, got reserved for Palo brunch on sea day for 10, but when I checked this morning, the web site said I had nothing reserved

Do you remember clicking the button labeled 'Submit' when you had the page up that reviewed the days, showing the reservations? It's very much NOT obvious and if you didn't click that, it doesn't confirm the reservation and they go poof. They should have made it a much bigger button saying something like 'Click here to confirm your reservations' or something. I only caught it last night as it was showing them as 'unconfirmed'.

To add to what Mark said if you haven't already done so you might want to go into your cruise plans and print them out. There is a link at the top that says printer friendly version. For one thing it will help you remember what times you booked.

To add to what Mark said if you haven't already done so you might want to go into your cruise plans and print them out. There is a link at the top that says printer friendly version. For one thing it will help you remember what times you booked.

I do that in addition to using a website called TripIt. TripIt also has a free iPhone app that stores your itinerary on the phone so you don't need to use the internet when you want to look at your plans.

Congratulations to all of you that were able to get your ressies!!!!

I was actually in bed by 10pm (east coast) as I am not yet a CC member.

That is early for me these days but I worked all day in the yard and I was exhausted.

I actually put a spreadsheet together of everyone signed up for the Fish Extender gift exchange. It has a listing of all the names, room numbers, and ages of kids that I could find between Flo's list and the Photo Gallery page.
This was just to help me get everything organized for our gifts. It's in Excel and if anyone wants it before Flo sends out her final list let me know and I will send it along. It's nothing fancy.

Have a great day!

Lisa,

That is how mine is for the mini navagators (excel spreed sheet)that will be given out at the meet.

I have one more name to add to the list but I am waiting for the age of the children.

If you would like a copy of my completed list e mail me your e mail address or PM me and next month I will send to you the completed list.

take care
flo
