I am so sorry MaryAZ. But on a good note...WDW is super fun too! I know we are hoping the cruise really does happen for our individual families. It is crazy how much money we are willing to spend to get on that ship...
 
But you have joined a select group of fellow travelers, as very few folks can honestly say that they went to the World AND saved thousands of dollars. I hope we all have great trips :thumbsup2 .
 
We are so sorry that you won't be with us.:sad2: But hope you have a wonderful and safe trip to WDW.:wave2:

Kim & Tristan :sad1:
 

DD and I did the Dolphins Encounter in Cabo and we both LOVED it. It was costly though but I guess not much more than the lift tickets at Heavenly (Lake Tahoe) over the weekend. Any idea what kind of group discount we can get?
 
Sorry we will not meet you on the cruise Mary! Such a thing is very understandable in these economic times. Have a great time at Disney though and who knows what the future will hold!pixiedust:
 
Count us in...we are a Disney family of four also. It will be DH, me, DD8, DD4 almost 5. I signed us up on the website just like lovesbydesigns did, to get discounts online. My question is if the 10% group rate is better than any web specials that may come out. As far as I can tell DD4 will be free. Anyone under 7 is free with a paying adult.
I can't seem to find any info. about past specials guests have recieved. I'm wondering if we should just go ahead and book and get the 10% or not.
I'd like to ask that anyone who would like to do The Dolphin Encounter , not the Royal Swim, please pm with how many adults and how many children and their ages so I can keep count of how many we have! Once we have enough to get the 10% off I will post and we can go ahead and reserve! My kids will be 2 1/2, 7 and 10 1/2 for the cruise :thumbsup2
 
I checked the website. It looks like anyone under 8 (not 7) is free with a paying adult.

BTW - Allison is looking forward to meeting Sarah!

So does that mean that Sarah, who is 8 at travel time will be free? Or is it 7 and under? I may call the 800 number if they have one. I read where the people are really nice to speak with. Maybe they will have a deal or two...
 
Okay, so we may need to go to a lower category cabin in order to stay on this cruise. (Which is fine by me, as long as I'm on the Magic with my Double Dippin' peeps!!). That being said, would anyone be willing to PM me and let me know what you paid for a Cat.11 (without air, transfers, or insurance)??

We are currently in a Cat. 5 and my BIL and his family are also in a Cat. 5 next door. I think he'll probably stay there but we'll be just around the corner on Deck 7.

Tracey from DU is checking it out for me (she is the best BTW) and says that I will get the locked in price from when I booked my Cat. 5...... Times here are very stressful :scared: and knowing that we are still going on this cruise come H*** or high water is keeping me from going off the deep end......
 
I am of no assistance with the pricing on a cat. 11 as we are using points. But I will agree that Tracy is awesome - we sailed together on the 11 day Southern and she took care of my last cash reservation.

Thank heaven I have this booked. We got the news last week that hours have been cut back to 24 a week at my office. With a DH that is not working (his plant closed and moved to Mexico) times are going to get very tight. Hopefully the fuel surcharge will be a credit and I can use that for tips. Airfare was only $20 as I used miles so all in all, I will be there.
 
Wow - airfare for $20!!! That's awesome. I'm hoping that there will be some deals out of Syracuse to Orlando since right now it's about 1/2 the price of flying from Ottawa. I'm hoping it will drop even lower.

Sorry to hear about your DH and your cutbacks too - it will make it even sweeter when we are sitting at Quiet Cove sharing a DOD!!!:grouphug:

Cheers,
Lisa
 
Hey Lisa(My fellow Canuck!):thumbsup2

We booked a category 12 inside stateroom for the cruise which I booked last January and for DH,DD(8) at time of cruise and myself I believe the cost was $2375.00 us and this included a $100.00 on board credit. We booked this category last time and actually received a category 11 stateroom. We don't spend much time in our room so this room suits are needs just fine. This way we have more money to spend SHOPPING!:lmao: :lmao:
 
Thanks for the info!! Yeah, we got spoiled last time and travelled in a Cat. 3 (compliments of MIL who came along) but my DD 18 mos. at the time caught a nasty cold and we spent quite a bit of time in the room. She also napped a couple of times over the course of the week so it was nice just to be able to sit out on the balcony and enjoy the Mom solitude.

No more naps this time of course and hopefully no colds so whatever stateroom we decide to stay in won't really matter (as long as I'm on the Magic).;) ;)

Cheers,
Lisa

$20 and 100,000 miles for the two tickets. But, it is the right airport, good arrival and departure times so all in all, a good deal I guess.

Warmer here - about 15 degrees which is 30 degrees warmer than it was yesterday morning.
 
We are in the middle of a nasty blizzard - I have decided that I no longer like snow, so if someone could just please make it stop and go far, far away - I would be eternally grateful!!:p :p
 
Thanks for the reality check, ladies! AfFter reading about blizzards and subzero temperatures, our 20 degrees and 1/4" of ice that has already melted away from this morning doesn't sound too bad! :beach:
 
Ok everyone! We are in this together, the budgeting is killing me! I am sifting through everything for the kids resale shop and making a trip there on Friday. I am looking into airfare as well. Hoping to have at least 1 ticket! Binky, we snagged a SPR and lowered our price by over $500. Whatever it takes girl! Stay safe and inside...the news looks crazy with that blizzard.
 
Hey there, hi there, ho there everyone!

I showed the girls yesterday afternoon the Dolphin Encounter info on the internet. This morning DD4, got her swimsuit, Tevas and rash guard out of her drawer and said, "I'm ready for the Disney cruise Mama"! Thought that was cute enough to share with my cruise buddies!:grouphug:

That is tooo precious!!! I sometimes miss the times when my kids were doing things that were so cute!

A little snow is not a bad thing....it's when you spend an hour shovelling it and have to do it again the next morning, that it loses its appeal!:)

I would love to test that theory in person. :rotfl2:

It is a :sad2: :sad2: day here in Az. I had to cancel the cruise. We just could not keep the $$ tied up in the deposit. Needed it for plane tickets. I have loved getting to know you all. I hope you all have a Magical Cruise and please have a DOD for me.

Oh man! I just can't believe it! I totally understand it!!! But I just don't like it. But at least it's a trip to Disney so that's just as good! Have a great time!!!

I'd like to ask that anyone who would like to do The Dolphin Encounter , not the Royal Swim, please pm with how many adults and how many children and their ages so I can keep count of how many we have!

We're doing the swim so I won't PM you. At least that's what I'm pretty sure EM#2's doing. I talked to him about it yesterday. Since he's paying for it with his own money he gets to decide.

But maybe we could still ride over together? I'm quite leery of being in Mexico with my child and without King Charming. If I was with folks I know I'd feel sooooo much better.

Okay, so we may need to go to a lower category cabin in order to stay on this cruise.

Just remember that all the cabins go to the same ports! LOL

Great prices you got there! Wonderful!!!! I'll be praying for you regarding your job and all. Boy, we sure are living through the "interesting times" of the old Chinese curse, aren't we? Some have it more "interesting" than others. You're definitely in my prayers.

We are in the middle of a nasty blizzard - I have decided that I no longer like snow, so if someone could just please make it stop and go far, far away - I would be eternally grateful!!:p :p

I keep telling you.... send it my way! I'd be happy to take it off your hands for a while. We got rain yesterday. Couldn't come last week when it was so freakin' cold and maybe would have turned to snow! Noooooooooo, all we get is cold rain!

Gotta run guys.... but please do let me know whether or not we can ride over to the dolphin place with you. I've got to start looking at the times of the thing. What time are y'all thinking about doing the encounter?

I can't believe we're getting so close to the cruise and there's still sooooooooooo much I gotta do! LOL
 
I think we should all go over together too, Denise. I read that we can take a taxi van over to the Chanakanab place. It looks like a really clean place to hang for the day.
