Dd you get your nectar yet?

not exactly the one i want, but i may have found a decent substitute

I think DCL needs to get rid of their web design guys and hire Junior, Milford & Wally. Their online system STINKS!!!!!!!! It took me 7 hours to get a reservation today because the online system kept locking up!!! WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!!!!!?????? If I weren't trying to book it for such great people, I would have just given up!

You have found the secret of business success, brown-nose the customer at every opportunity

Morning Terrie!
Tough boss ...

Evening Michael!
Yeah, but I hold myself to the same standards. I'm not competing for the and

 

[Knit1Purl2]

I see you're from Lebanon! We just drove through your town on the 2nd and 3rd on our way to and from noblesville where Milford and Shawn live![/QUOTE

You just missed our big July 4th parade. Lot's of tractors, floats and firetrucks
Hope to meet you in Sept!

 

[calypso726]

I wonder if it's for The Villas At Grand Floridian?

Oooooo!!!! I Hope it is, I hope it is! Plans have been submitted for the area and they include a new parking lot, 6 story building with a walkway that goes directly to the GF

What's goin on at the d23 expo? Will you be at the parks? R u staying at vgc?

we'll spend wednesday @ CA since they are redoing it. we're staying at the marriott right next to the anahiem convention center (which is directly across the street from DL)

here's <clicky> for D23 Expo 2011

 

[disrailfan]

Thank you!

I'm thinking actually, DCL is not worthy of such loyal repeat passengers as all of us if they don't get their online system corrected!!!

Thanks Deb.

I agree their website booking system was up and down like a yo yo yesterday.

Hello to all of you. I chimed in 7 threads ago but have not come back till now. with less the 2 months to go I thought I would join this great Disney cruise crowd and ask questions.
I will introduce myself again. My name is Sandy and I am bringing along my hubby and another couple. This is both our first DVC Disney cruise. I am full of questions. been reading alot and been on the dis Facebook page trying to find info out.
Is there a formal night?
What kind of gifts will we get each day. anybody have pictures to share?
How about Disney Photo pas for the ship? or any info on picture taking?
And as I read I understand all tips are included in our cruise price,Right?
thanks for helping out and letting me join in.

Hi Sandy I know your questions were answered but I wanted to say hello and welcome back to the thread

 

[disrailfan]

Sounds good to me!!!

We are in....Oh wait we are doing the PCC 4.0 in December on the Fantasy, I havew yet to go over and take over that thread.

The 'Vacation With Character' event was nice. They talked about the changes taking place at WDW & DCA and as part of that, they mentioned how many points it would take to stay at either BLT or VGC in a 1-bedroom for 7-nights during magic season. They talked about Aulani and how many points for a 1-bedroom there also. They talked a little about DCL and the new home ports and the new park currently under construction in Shanghi. What was nice is they made very little mention of RCI and the rest of the World Passport options.

After the presentation was over (about 40 minutes), they had Mickey & Goofy on stage if you wanted to go up and see them. We skipped them and got in to the first group to see the model rooms. After the models, they had food setup. There was a pasta & chicken salad, veggies & dip, make your own strawberry short cake & strawberry angel food cake and cupcaked (chocolate & white). At this point you could meet with a guide if you wanted to add-on. They also passed out a $40 AMC Gift Card (one per family).

Sounds cool! Did they give out any non expiring Fast Passes??? They offered them to those adding on during our May cruise. I SO want some of those

 

[disrailfan]

I think I saw a hidden Mickey made outa 3 b00bs.

 

[Carmouse10]

Carmouse- For the premeet- what time are you thinking? I believe this is the 17th. We are doing the Wild Trek in am then Meeting a work colleague at AK. Our evening is planned for Hoop.

Maybe 3:30 - 4ish? Whatever works best for the group.

I did not want to go too early and rip apart the day for park-goers, yet not too late so family people can come around. I am thinking if we start late afternoon then people can hang around for a couple of hours, then leave if they have dinner or other plans, those that remain or come later perhaps we could grab dinner somewhere like ESPN and then see what else is going on.

We could even take a walk over to Epcot or Beach or Yacht Club if people wanted...

Everyone give me input and we will mold a meet out of it

 

[calypso726]

The last day of the 'Vacation With Character' presentations is 8/5.

Ah good to know. I think we can squeze it in

 

[disrailfan]

No Wally, no Terrie, no Junior, no Deb??? I guess there will be no Carmouse on the SSMC '12 either...

No Shawn and Milford on the 2012 either, unless we are just completly wow'd on this cruise. I suspect that we wont be.

 

[calypso726]

i guess we might have to find an excuse to go up there before then.

I love the way you think Ok, I have a class to teach this Saturday so let's go next weekend

 

[calypso726]

Extremely frustrated - two months from sail-away and I still don't know if we're joining you! DVC was no help at all!

Oh geez that's definitely frustrating. Hopefully you will get called to go on soon. It did happen last year last minute for several that were on the WL. Here is some for you.

 

[W@LL-E]

I love the way you think Ok, I have a class to teach this Saturday so let's go next weekend

silly goose, we have Cirque du Soleil next weekend

 

[calypso726]

Sometimes there will be a large piza with two small coming out of the conveyer oven at the same time andd I'll say "A Hidden Mickey!" and everyone stares at me funny!
They just don't get it!!

Wally and I find "Hidden Mickeys" in everyday life too. I never care who gets it. As long as we do, I'm good with that

 

[calypso726]

Watched the season premier of Breaking Bad last night and it was...

AWESOMESAUCE!!!

You know, I watched a few episodes of season one and simply couldn't get into it. I might have to give it another shot because I am constantly hearing how good it is. Now, I'm holding my breath for the new season of Dexter

 

[calypso726]

silly question. we just got an owners locker. we should have it at okw before the cruise. can i take it w/ on the ship and return it at the end of the beach club stay?

I am almost positive I read somewhere on the DVC boards here on the DIS that you can. I know I have seen it on a trip report that included a pre and post cruise stay at WDW.
