09/21/08 SSMC08 S.S. Member Cruise 2008

[krdisneybound]

how wonderful - I love it when things like that happen.

Thanks everyone!

My husbands work is paying for his portion of the cruise since he has worked with them for 10 years that is his little bonus. Actually they are giving him a 5 day cruise for 2, but since through Carnival that is only about $850, we asked if we could just take the cash and apply it to the Member cruise. So that leaves only 3 of us to pay for. And since we JUST got back from the cruise I haven't exactly saved up another 2G to drop in 2 weeks, so points and cash it is.

So for the 4 of us it will cost us 224 points and $676 in cash. Not to shabby I think. I have to borrow 09's points so I don't think I can transfer them to anybody for cash just yet. Although that would be ideal because then I wouldn't have to have any cash out of pocket.

So if anyone knows if you can move 2009 points in 2 weeks or less, let me know!

I'm not Linda, but yep, the mini navs were very cool

And we've had a zip file of disney fonts up on the website including the script one she used, you can find it here: Fonts

To install it, open the downloaded file in one window, and open 'my computer' on your desktop in another window and browse to hard disk c, then into the windows folder. You should see a folder called fonts, locate it but don't open it. Drag the font files from the first window to that folder and you should get a message that it is installing them.

Thanks Mark! I'm not very techinical when it comes to stuff like that. All I know is that when I typed in Waltograph under a google search, that I found the website and then somehow miraculously figured out how to get it on my computer. It's my favorite font!

 

[MarkRG]

No problemo, Waltograph by itself may have some kind of installer that does it for you- the file I linked is about a half dozen fonts including Waltograph, Epcot's including the original symbols for all the locations, Haunted Mansion's, and a number of other Disney oriented ones. I tossed that together and put it up on the site a number of cruises back to help with making doorsigns.

TnRobin-
Good they are telling you the same thing they told me. I posted on the 2007 Member cruise trip reports thread and I also posted a seperate thread on the planning board.

Maybe the thread on the planning board needs bumped.

 

[TnRobin]

Thanks cobbler, I wasn't on the 2007 cruise, so I didn't look there for the 2008 rates.

Now we have it multiple places for mulitple people.

Thanks for posting this over here Robin! Do you happen to know if other DCL rules apply, for example a room with one adult and one child under 12 will still require prices for two adults in the room?

And, the single supplemental price for one adult occupying a room alone?

Thanks...

 

[WDWLVR]

Well I'm not Robin but from what I've heard all the same rules apply.

First two people in the room are charged as adults even if they aren't and that there is a single supplement charged for a person traveling solo.

 

[CarolAnnC]

Thanks Mary! I guess I wasn't clear, I am wondering how much the single supplement will be for the Member Cruise? Haven't found anything on that yet...thanks.

 

[TnRobin]

Sorry, I didn't ask that question Carol.

But like Mary said, they did emphasize that the first two people will be charged the full rate regardless of age.

 

[WDWLVR]

Thanks Mary! I guess I wasn't clear, I am wondering how much the single supplement will be for the Member Cruise? Haven't found anything on that yet...thanks.

DUH - sorry about that. I would guess it is the same as a regular cruise but to be honest I don't know what that is either. I know we had a gentleman on the 2006 cruise who cruised solo. Or maybe Kay can help because I think she's booked solo.

 

[CarolAnnC]

Ok, thanks Robin! And thanks to Mary, too! I called them yesterday myself and totally forgot to ask about that. We had a poster asking about it this week. Will try to call in again and check it out.

Good practice for call in day, lol. Keeps my fingers in shape...hehehe.

 

[krdisneybound]

Thanks Mary! I guess I wasn't clear, I am wondering how much the single supplement will be for the Member Cruise? Haven't found anything on that yet...thanks.

I am pretty much positive that the supplement is 1.75%.
So it would be 1/2 of what two people are and then 1.75% more.

I did ask that already myself

Thanks Robin! I was going to ask if anyone had gotten the cash prices yet. My dad wants to come with us next year so we were thinking we would upgrade from the cat6 room we got with the add-on up to a cat 4. I was told we could do this by paying the difference in cash and it looks like it is not that much of a difference at all. Now to luck out and get it on call in day.

[krdisneybound]

[krdisneybound]

I love it. Great thought.

 

[TnRobin]

Am I imagining things or did the original itinerary say Castaway Cay - Nassau - Castaway Cay. It now doesn't include Nassau on the DVC website. I am fine with that. I didn't want to go ashore anyway. Just wondering.

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone!

Dan - nice to see you so excited! That will help with calling in.

Robin - I always thought that the itinerary was CC-Sea-CC. I don't remember seeing anything with Nassau. CC-Nassau-CC was what we did on the very first Member Cruise back in 2003 (or should I clarify the first dedicated Member Cruise).
