09/18/11 - DVCers Take Over the Dream (S.S. Member Cruise 2011) - Thread #11

[Luckymomoftwo]

Good Sunday morning!
Here we are, 42 days away from setting sail, and still no word from Disney. We're at decision time tomorrow because DW has to finalize her vacation schedule at work. I'll be calling DVC one last time. If we're still on the waitlist and can't get confirmed, we'll have to pull our names and plan for a Magic cruise in October. Not a bad consolation prize!

Good Morning!! I'm sorry your wait list hasn't come through. I don't think DCL/DVC realizes (or cares) that people have employers that have to approve vacation schedules. I know there are several of us who won't be going on next years SSMC for sure, so hopefully you'll be able to book for sure next year without being put on the wait list. Good luck!!

Funny story...last year I decided I wanted to make luggage handle covers for everyone. I wanted to do 4 for each stateroom. I don't own a sewing machine so I asked my mom if I could borrow hers. She said I'd be better off borrowing my sister's. So I asked my sister and she wasn't comfortable letting me borrow it (it's a very expensive machine). So I asked if she would want to sew them for me. HOLY COW! I gave her MONTHS to do them and she procrastinated and she was working on them the weekend before we had to leave!!! So...I won't be doing any sewing FE gifts again unless I ever decide to get my own sewing machine. Which, of course, I don't see happening!

I've thought about doing those but I don't sew! How did they come out?

Sorry to hear you haven't gotten a call from them yet. There was someone who popped on a couple days ago excited that they got they're call. I was hoping you received the same news. Good luck.

They turned out VERY nice! And I got some feedback on how great they worked when the luggage came out at the baggage claim area. In fact, we just used ours when my mom and I went to Vegas and they DID help a lot!!

I made 4 for each stateroom and I had a little bit of material left over from each group of 4. (I went to Wal Mart and got those $1.00 fabrics in 20 some different prints so no two staterooms got the same pattern) I gave each stateroom the extra material so that they could carry it with them and recognize the same fabric pattern on their luggage. I figured since they didn't pick out the fabric themselves it might be hard to remember what it looked like the first couple times they used them.

That has to be so frustrating. Hope the pixie dust helps. Do they let you know WHERE on the waitlist you are?

Great idea, I would have never thought of giving them the extra fabric!

Debbie, Junior, loved the pics of Pooh Thank you for sharing her with us

I popped in to Hot Topic looking for something for Grumpy. Man alive. I am soooo not "with it". This little tiny thing came up and asked if she could help me find anything. I wanted to ask her if she was lost and needed help finding her mommy.

I love Hot Topic! I call those "tiny little things" that work there ... inspiration to stay on my diet

Ah, now THAT would be awesomesauce!!!!

I know a few have made the waitlist. Keeping good thoughts and sending to you for some good news!

Just so you know, we use the luggage handle covers you made every time we pack up even when we aren't flying. It's always a happy reminder of the wonderful friendship we made last year
