Welcome bookrdr2:

What part of NJ are you from? We were aboard last Nov. also, somehow I think we will be there next year too. I'm hooked!

 

[bookrdr2]

Thanks Sweetspot.

We're from Western NJ - near the Lehigh Valley PA region, about an hour and a half from NYC and Phila.


How far down South Jersey are you?

Counting the Days!!!

Hey everyone- new and old. It's been awhile since i've checked the boards. I didn't know we were supposed to start receiving our documents. Im upset and worried now because we haven't gotten ours yet. We are dvc members; does anyone know if that affects when you get them. i think i'll call them right now.
hopefully, i'll check back tonight.

Hi Tagall 4:

We are also DVC members and used our points to book our cruise. I called yesterday and was told they had not been sent out yet, but that we would receive them between 30 and 4 days before our cruise. They did say that they come directly from The Disney Cruise Line. Hopefully since everyone else is getting theirs we won't be far behind. Let me know if you get yours. Thanks.

 

[tagall4]

thanks vacationfinatic, I called dvc yesterday tooo. they told me I should receive them up to 2 weeks before the cruise, if not to call and they would trace them. thanks again

bookrdr2:

We are in Gloucester County, about 20 miles from Philadelphia. We have a large group from NJ but it seems we are all really scattered around.

I can't believe how close we are. With the weather getting colder I'm hoping I can start packing soon.

 

[Masonpips]

Hi All!

Updating the spreadsheet tonight so check the last page or two if you'd like your information recorded and sent on to everyone. My email is cdcotch_99@yahoo.com.

I have a special treat for those Passporter folks too - CRenze sent me an awesome "cut-out" version for you to slide into your book.

Also, we'd like to set a deadline for the Radisson Trick or Treat activity for 10/5. If you're going to sign up, please let me know by then so the rest of us have a final count and can begin shopping!

I cannot believe how fast time is going! Hang in there folks; it's ALMOST OUR TURN!!!!

 

[twhipple]

Did we ever decide on where and when to have a DISmeet?

 

[CRenze]

Man, I'm starting to wonder if those docs are EVER going to come. Still nothing here. Please tell me that I'm not the only one waiting. Anyone get sprinkled with pixie dust for an upgrade?

We haven't gotten our docs yet either. I called my TA, and she said they send them out 2 weeks before.

I am also hoping that my DH gets his birth certificate in time from LA County! We just recently moved, and can't find his anywhere! That was really frustrating!

 

[debralisa]

but I don't expect ours until at least the 9/10th. We did the air through DCL too and our return flight is Nov. 8th..since airline tickets cannot be printed/issued until 30 days prior, I don't expect that that will have everything sent to us and THEN send the airline tickets...so I just have to sit and wait ~deep sigh~.

I can't believe we are almost there!!!

I still need to get our lime green things...what are we using again (sorry...airhead syndrome here lately- )? Where did most of you get yours?

Thanks!

Debbie

Masonips - I've tried e-mailing you several times but haven't been able to get through for your spreadsheet. I've tripled checked your e-mail address, but haven't recieved a response. Can you help me out here? I really wanted to print the updated info., since we haven't recieved our docs yet either. Pleeease help - lost in limbo. Actually, now i'm wondering if you even received my info for our family; let me know.

Dismeet...last i remember was talk of 2 meets: one on Sat. 5-6, deck 7, and the other on Sunday sometime not yet decided. Am I right?

Debralisa - I'm with you and not remembering, but i think we were trying to wear lime green mickeys. I just assumed that disney store sold stickers or something, but what do i know...I look for all the answers here on the boards. Anybody else?

Almost there!!!!!!!

 

[strasfamily]

I believe the official DIS meet will be on Saturday between 5 and 6 on deck 7. We did start conversation about doing it on Sunday, but I don't think it was decided to change it.

My hubby found the lime green Mickey heads at Lowes. They are the paint color sample cards. There should be a separate display for Disney paints in the paint section.

Hope that helps!

Tagall4 I don't recall seeing your info on the spread sheet so Debby must not be getting it. I think her last link was incorrect. The address I sent it to was cotchdc_99@yahoo.com and that worked.
I can't believe it is less than a month away.

 

[Masonpips]

cotchdc_99@yahoo.com is correct; sorry if I posted it wrong before - shoot me an e-mail and let me know via this thread and I'll check it right then

Just got our docs - WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

[dis4me]

Yeah Debby They came

 

[Masonpips]

Tagall4 - check your PM's. I sent you one with my work e-mail address!

 

[RudeMNcruisers]

We are getting sooooo close!!!!! Yea!!!!! I can't wait!!!!
I haven't received a list for halloween yet either. I did e-mail you again so hopefully it goes through this time.
I don't know when I have been this excited for a vacation?! I am sure reading all the posts has pumped up the excitement for me!!!

29 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CRenze]

WOOHOO!! YIPPEE!!
It's not my docs but it's at least something to start with! I got a call from my TA this morning and she gave us our flight arrangements. I am soo excited. We have a non-stop flight leaving PGH Nov. 1 at 9:20, arriving at 11:34 in Orlando. I was so worried that we were going to be on a later flight or worse, have a layover. I think I've read somewhere that it takes roughly an hour to get to port from the airport and if that's true we should be getting there just as the lines start to go down (something else I read..the lines get smaller around 12:30ish).
