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

[W@LL-E]

I had nothing else better to do. Since Terrie had to work, she trusted me to book the SSMC2011, so I interrupted my much-desired sleep and was on hold in the queue for an hour and a half. Thank Goodness it only took an hour and 500 redials before I got thru...

Woohoo, I can post external links now!!! Only took me 2 days

You did good! It took me hours and hours to get through.

Was very lucky...That had to be rough for you, 3 hours behind.

Yeah, it was a bit brutal. I'm NOT a morning person ... at ALL. And I only had three hours of sleep. Four hours of constant dialing (on two phones) and two hours on hold before I finally got to talk to a live person. But I got on and was able to change our prior B2B cabin to the same one as our SSMC cabin. So, no packing!

We were very lucky got in at 0802 and was on hold for 20 minutes and then passed the phone to me and I booked. We were all done with 2 bookings by 0855. We have a magic phone........ LOL

Awesome. We're doing the B2B too, including the no packing/unpacking!

This will be our 6th year in a row for the member cruise..... our first one of course on the Disney Dream. The real good news is this will be the 20th anniversary of the DVC...... OH BOY it will be quite a celebration. We were on for the 15th year. So I am sure they will do something big for the 20th.

Terrie wanted me to start dialing @ 7:55AM (I guess to get my thumbs warmed up to redial many, many, many more times on the house and cell phones). I believe I might have dozed off a time or two.

I hope so! I'm looking forward to seeing what they have planned (or will plan) for us!

This will be our 2nd member cruise and we had a blast on SSMC2010; that's why I woke up super early (for me) to book.

Guess there aren't any late night chatters here?

 

[Time4disneynow]

[calypso726]

OMG - we certainly have a CHATTY group on here! It took us THREE MONTHS to get to this many posts on 2010's first thread! WOW!

Hey - Terrie & Wally and Milford & Shawn - did you guys want to link our dining again next year? (As Ian has requested )

Absolutely! I was counting on it

IM NOT SURE YET, I JUST GOT BACK FROM MY TRIP TO BOSTON FOR CALL IN!! OUR WHOLE QUIET TABLE GOT IN. THIS YEAR YOU AND TERRIE WILL HAVE TO DO SERENITY BAY, DONT WORRY NO SHARKS!!!!

YAY!!! So glad you are coming Quiet? Hmmm, not the adjective I thought to use when describing your table Oh no you don't! I SAW the pictures you took there undrewater

We were very lucky got in at 0802 and was on hold for 20 minutes and then passed the phone to me and I booked. We were all done with 2 bookings by 0855. We have a magic phone........ LOL

Hey everyone! We are all going to PINOCCHIOS'S house next year to dial in I am not surprised that the "magic phone" is located in Orlando

 

[calypso726]

I'm just finishing work now. Guess it's not so bad when you dont have work the next day.

Must be nice

 

[STEAMBOAT209]

Yes they are available. We did the brunch last month on the member cruise! It was fantastic.

thanks, this is going to be great, here comes another 5lbs. easy.

 

[STEAMBOAT209]

Yes they were available when the member cruise was on the Wonder. We'll have to wait and see as to what the are going to be doing on the Dream.

i guess it will be another waiting game. DW thinks once they announce the actual schedule for Palo dining, we can't book until 90 days out.

Good Morning Everyone!

It's a chilly and rainy day here in Jersey! But I have lots of housework and at-home-work to catch up on!

 

[iamdaisyduck]

I was told that the French restaurant was an additional $75 to dine at, for that kind of money it better include the wine!!
