[mousefan64]

You don't owe us anything unless you want to sneak us on the podcast cruise.

Sneak sneak sneak, podcast 4.0, sneak sneak sneak

 

[mousefan64]

When's the podcast cruise and how do we get aboard?

We stayed at the Dalhousie Castle. No ghosts as far as I know of. At least no bad ghosts, but on the first night we were all in bed watching TV and the bedroom door opened all by itself. I told Lara it must have been a ghost because she is into that kind of thing. It must have been a good ghost, because once it was in (or out?), we never heard any more.

Oh yeah, Dalhousie has its share of ghost stories.

I told Lara what you said about ghosts at Dalhousie and she reminded me of the loud noise just as we were about asleep. To us it sounded like Laran's headboard (which I saw was a little loose, on her rollaway cot), banging up against the glass wagon-wheel table.

Lara told me she looked at Laran's bed and the table the next morning, and they were several feet apart. Both of these events occured in the first room, and nothing in the second room. Maybe you're onto something (but I'm still not buying it).

Hi everyone. We will be joining you on this cruise. It will be our second member cruise. We are going this time with another couple and are leaving the kids home this time (and boy they are not happy)! Is there a FE list already going? We would love to participate in it. Also, for those who have done the member cruise didn't it go to CC twice?

 

[mousefan64]

We are. We are slowly but surely building our costumes.

So is the Hubby....

Hope everybody is having a great week!!

Ginny

Our week is going ok...very hectic, but ok! Hope you're having a great week!!

We have never sent a box ahead of time, but we definitely will be in September. I'll be able to send THREE...one to my DMiL's room, one to our room on the 15th and one to our room on the 18th.

I actually tried calling them just tonight to see what the maximum dimensions could be. It just says 12" below, I don't know if that's 12" tall AND 12" on each side. So, if I remember to call tomorrow I'll post on here to let ya know!

This is the info I got from the FAQ sticky on the DCL forums:

Boxes Sent the Ship Ahead of Cruise - PLEASE follow these instructions carefully!!!!!! UPDATED AS OF 2/25/2009
• ONE box per stateroom, no exceptions.
• The package must have the guest full name, ship, sailing date, stateroom number or GTY if you have not been assigned a stateroom number.
• The package also must have a packing slip attached to the outside of the box that details the contents of the package. For prescriptions, a copy of the prescription is sufficient. Your list may or may not be read but it must have one. Write packing slip on the outside of the envelope.
• NO FOODS/DRINKS OF ANY KIND, LIQUOR OF ANY KIND, FIREARMS, ETC.. Items that cannot be shipped to the Disney Cruise Line Warehouse and delivered to the ship include: food products (any and all food products including baby food/formula), beverages (liquor, water, etc.), chemicals, and luggage. These items will not be accepted at the warehouse and will be returned. This may cause the dogs to hit on your box and that would be a bad thing.
• The required size of the cartons you are shipping down have to be about the size of a record storage box 12 inches on a side and should not weigh more than 20 lbs. (This has been asked personally by Dave Adams who is the owner)

Address your package(s) to:
Disney Cruise Line Warehouse
Guest Name / Stateroom # (GTY, if you don't know what it is when you send the package)
8633 Transport Drive
Orlando, FL 32832
Phone: 407-566-8196

In the bottom left corner of the top of the package put the following information: ATTN: HOUSEKEEPING
*Name
*Sail Date
*Ship
*Stateroom Number
*Packing slip that details contents of the package (for prescriptions, a copy of the prescription is sufficient)
• Packages must arrive by Friday by 3:00pm for the 7-Night Cruise on the Disney Magic (Saturday).
• Packages must arrive by Friday by 3:00pm for the 4-Night Cruise on the Disney Wonder (Sunday).
• Packages must arrive by Wednesday by 3:00pm for the 3-Night Cruise on the Disney Wonder (Thursday).

If your box is hit on by the screening dog or chosen for additional screening they will open the list and the box and look through it. They will close it back up and provided nothing bad is in it then it will be in your room as usual later after boarding. These boxes will be coming on the ship with the crew mail among other things so they may be in the staterooms later then they were before as they are low priority in the scheme of things for Disney.

Boxes to Send Home after Cruise - Information provided by Shirley
These guys are great and right off Highway 528 - Shipping Depot located at 211 Crockett Blvd, Suite 103, Merritt Island, Florida, Phone 321-453-2558, Fax 321-453-0161
Hours - Monday thru Friday 9 am - 6 pm, Saturday 10 am - 2 pm
Email - shippingdepot103@aol.com
If you DO NOT want to concern yourself with the carrying of ''stuff'' home that you have purchase or too much to take on the plane, you can take it over to their place of business or they will be more than glad to pick it up from Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral and they will ship anywhere and everywhere. They are UPS and FEDEX office. Owners are Raul and Dwane - super nice folks to work with and very accomodating to your shipping needs. Must mention this board for discount.
