10/15/2011 - Taking the West by Magic!

[ivet]

Haha, I get sucked in by that game, too! I tell myself I'll play one game really fast, and ten minutes later, I'm going, "I need to get off facebook!"

DF and I are up for meeting at 3 o'clock. But, just a forewarning, I am terrible with directions, so I will probably get lost finding Deck 7 aft. If you see someone wondering around aimlessly Sunday morning, going, "It's around here somewhere!" You'll know that we didn't ditch the meet, just couldn't find it.

I pulled this from the top part of this page - the red banner that states Ships then selected deck plans. Take a peek it has every location on there.

Tomorrow Sunday night at midnight EASTERN you should be able to start making your reservations. Try logging on a few minutes before hand so your on the right page. I had to hit enter a few times until the reservations tabs popped up at 12:03am

That will be wonderful! Can't wait! Pray there's still decent Palo brunch times as well as good Flounders times as well.

 

[Onkel Hans]

Brown family, if you still want to join us for out attempt to get the Palo big room for a brunch, please PM me your cruise reservation #s.

Also, for the Palo group, how should we describe our get together to the Cruise Activities Specialist? A get together of friends who haven't met? Or a DISboard member get together? First annual meeting of the (un)Ancient and Loyal Order of the Gondolieri di Palo?

I hope everyone gets what they want Monday AM!

 

[The Browns]

Onkel Hans, is this the only board meet up we're having is at Palo?

No, the main meet is at 3:00 PM on Saturday:

So how about we go with Deck 7 aft at 3:00, and if it's closed, then we'll meet in Sessions (Deck 3 past Rockin' Bar D). Just as a backup plan...?

 

[The Browns]

Okay, I'll ask hubby and see for sure. Hopefully, I can talk to him tonight (he's on duty) and then let u know then.

You can tell them we're there for a DISmeet, that is title the Order of the Gondolieri di Palo... That'll confuse the heck out of them!

 

[The Browns]

Onkel Hans, you can remove us from the meet up at Palo. I think we're going to do the other meet up on the first day. Thank you and sorry for the delay!

No worries! I am definitely looking forward to that meet, too. It will be nice meeting my support system that helped me get through my first cruise planning!

So today is the last day for the FE? what is our total? Can't wait to start working on mine! When do we need to give stateroom numbers?

And are we having a meet on saturday at 3pm? Is that where we will do the braclets?

I am getting so excited now!

ME TOO! I'm going to try hitting up the reservations tonight in hopes of it being open at midnight EST. Yesterday I started making one part of the cabin gifts we'll be handing out. Just gona wait for the final tally and ages to customize the final plan.

I had taken the diagram and indicated forward and aft but I cant seem to get it over here for you ahhhhhh So maybe this will help - you will see signs everywhere (reminds me of the movie Fools rush in - alas I digress) in the halls for the staterooms for which way to go. Once on the 7th floor look for either the numbers of 7100 -> or 7600 -> you will be trying to make your way to the staterooms of 7138 and 7638. In between those to staterooms is the deck 7 aft.

[ivet]

Thats why i think you all should check to see if you can log in!!!! When I check the dates in the calender it tells me 76days. So I still think you all should at least try.

 

[The Browns]

ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the tip!

 

[The Browns]

Nope. No luck. It says 75 days but reservations aren't open yet.

 

[Onkel Hans]

It says 75 days left, but it won't allow any planning. Boy, that was exciting for a bit!

Yep, today's the last day, barring any additions this afternoon, we're sitting at 15 cabins, with 29 adults and 19 children, 10 boys and 9 girls. The ages break down from 13 to 18mos.

You can send me over your cabin numbers and e-mails whenever you're ready, just PM it to me. I'm missing information for you tink, Atheneze, bunny, and e-mail address for Lysand, TheBrowns and becker5. I also need an e-mail for Joyjanet so I can send out the spreadsheet. I've put GTY for my stateroom since I don't have it yet. If anyone else is GTY, they usually don't assign staterooms until about 45 - 30 days out so we'll update as we get them.

Also, if anyone is planning on trying for an upgrade at the port, let me know and we'll figure out how to handle stateroom number changes. I've got a whiteboard that I'm going to bring along, or, once we get staterooms then we can use the wavephones to text any changes.

Ivet, between the two of us, we can get the maps of the decks marked before the cruise and e-mailed out too. I'm thinking I'm going to mail my FE gifts down to save on luggage space, I haven't done this before, but lots of folks have.

OK, while I was baking for the cub scout BBQ, I updated the first post with the meet information, as well as the listing of who wants to join in the wristbands for the cruise. If I missed anyone, let me know. Also, if anyone wants to do the wristbands (place the order and hand them out at the meet then get the money for them) feel free, I'll be happy just to keep the list! Off to slice some raspberry bars...
