Thank you, Karyn, for the info. We have booked our other two Disney cruises from their website and have not used All Seasons before. What sort of experiences have you had with them? Thanks again for the info. and hope to cruise with you!

cats!

I haven't used All Seasons but I've heard good things about them - also - you get to talk to a real person. Their price was exactly the same as DU, but AST offered $250 onboard credit w/ each of the two cabins we were booking and DU gave us a rebate of @200 on one and $100 on the other cabin. I'm trying to decide if I want to switch. There are a few people on this thread that have worked w/ other agents - I'm sure they will respond as well! I guess they've removed the info thread on this cruise - so you'll have to wait on trying others till you get some more responses. I'd sure call DCL to get a baseline price for comparison! I'm excited you're joining us!

jan lyn - gaRry has a very special font - sometimes it's almost invisible!

djs113 - I don't think I'm even that creative! Wow! You can draw stick figures?

I just saw "Pirates" for the third time - I must be sick! I do love that movie.

[djs113]

sick is correct Karyn!

I hope Pirates isn't showing during our trip, otherwise we might never see you ondeck !!!! LOL

Can you book the Palo brunch more than once?

I just got the passporter DCL book today. After reading about the brunch, I did a search here. I know this is something I'd want to do more than once. ( I love crab legs and shrimp ) I'm wondering if it would be possible to do the brunch twice and the dinner once.

Anyone know if any DISers will have teens sailing with them? My son will be 13 when we cruise.

Disneyjunkie-

Although its very hard for me to admit, our son will turn 13 right before the cruise....I'm not ready for the teen years!!

 

[Kabuli1]

David, Pirates is just keeping me going till Return of the King comes out! I am such a fan of LOTR!!!! In that way only, I'm sick - Pirates, three times was just a factor of going with various people who wanted to see it! Tho, I do love Johnny Depp in it! And I think Legolas, er, Orlando, does better as the young lover than as an elf. No worries, it will long be done showing! Now, if ROTK was still showing then . . . Besides, I would rather be with real people than movies any time!

With Return of the King coming in 12/17/03, I thought there was nothing to look forward to in December in the following years! I just realized that in 2004 there was something even better to look forward to - OUR CRUISE!

disneyjunkie! Who knows how many brunches there will be - I'd love to go to more than one! It was the best food ever! Thre are so many unknowns about this cruise! I'm so impatient! I want to know everything! NOW!!!


Gotta run, love you all! This group is the BEST!!!

Karyn

I've edited this three times now - I guess 3 glasses of wine is beyond my limit!

Hey disneyjunkie: I will be 15 when we cruise, your son and I could hang out. Who do I email again about the palos brunch. My parents are interested in doing it with the group, they did it last time. I had to make them do it, my dad is always away on business so we wanted so my mom us all to hang out. My dad and I said she had no choice and had to do it!LOL Also catspjmas I would try calling MyTravelCo, I use Ricardo and he is great he discounts extra for me, if you tell him matthew settineri sent you, he might give you good deal. WE got a wonderful deal. You contact him at: 1800-cruises extension 77445. Hope this helps. We used him for our last 2 bookings and plan to use him for many more. Only 489 more days to go guys! YAY

Wow, go to WDW for a week and this thread takes off and has so much more info to catch up on.
I would really love to go to Palo on this cruise. Would brunch or dinner be better? We have not dined there before. Do they have chocolate souffle at brunch?!?

 

[wdwgoose]

they even have peanut butter & jelly sandwich once they had purple ketchup and as old JOE knows they have lots of whip cream !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! long story on that one. Zita was our server on the last 2 cruises I hope shes back by then ?????????

okay I should have stayed at WDW this rough to get up to speed well not getting alot done tet but I will. by cruise date be done :~))

My two sons will both be 13 for this cruise. They are a little anxious about the teen club since they had such a blast in the Lab. It would be nice to hook up with some other boys their age!

Now to find the $$.....

 

[Donalds_best_pal]

tksbaskets: Not to be discourageing but I was 13 in march when we went on last magic cruise and I didnt like Common Grounds. I felt like I was the youngest and no one really paid attention to me, so I did a lot on my own. I am hoping at christmas since I will be older that I will fit in better. Maybe your kids and I can meet and hangout.

My family is considering the 2004 Christmas 10-day sailing. However, I can't find the rates anywhere as this cruise cannot be booked online. Can someone tell me where I can find them?

Another question (Experienced cruisers, we need your opinion!) We are booked to sail on the Wonder next July and thought about waiting to book the Christmas one until then so we can receive onboard credit. Good idea? Not-so-good? Will it be too late? (We will most likely be booking 3 rooms, probably cat. 9-12, but don't care if they are connecting, near each other,etc.) Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi there. I did a lot of research for the 10 day sailing. ******************** Carol the owner at ************************** was $600.00 cheaper for a cat 10, 2 adults and 2 paying children than Dreams Unlimited. She also had a special running with a $100.00 ship board credit for this sailing only if I booked this sailing between 8/8 and 8/10. Carol is such a nice lady. It is ********************s. I have read a lot about her on the Disboards. Quite a few families booked this sailing through her. This thread will not let me add her website in for some strange reason. If you have any questions or want her website, please feel free to e mail me at sands1@optonline.net. Sincerely, Gail1771

I think they were $16.00 not sure had embrorded names on front if you dared. YOU really stood out. The picture of the first western cruise might be good enough to see. the back ship design is great I'll check on things monday unless the power goes out AGAIN.



gaRry

Hello to all. Have not been back on this thread since the power went out here in NY. We live on Long Island one town away from djs113. Very scary since 9/11. We were without power for almost 24 hours. Very bad night for us as our 2 year old son was in the Emergency room all night during the black out with Croupe and Asthma. The hospital had generators but no A.C. and it was over 90 in the hospital ER.
Back in the ER Saturday my son has pneunomina. He is finally home tonight. We are glad this weekend has passed and a new week is to start. If all is ok with our son this week we are leaving for the Wonder this Sunday 8/24 for 4 nights our first DC and than to Disney World at the WL. My son will stay home with the in laws and we will just take our daughter as long as he is feeling better.

GaRrY, I am intrested in those custom t shirts. Do you need help.
If you do call me and I would be honered to help you. It was nice to read all the dishers comments the past few days. Hope all of you had a great weekend. Talk to you soon. Gail1771

 

[Dancind]

Oh my, there are a lot of 13 year old boys on this cruise. I'd better not tell my DH, he might not let our 13 year old DD leave the cabin! The teens are getting new quarters, bigger and better, and they still get a few hours in the Lab occasionally. Diana

 

[djs113]

Oh geez,

GAil... so sorry to hear about your last few days !!

Hope all feels better as soon as possible. I'll email you before Friday about a possible pin purchase

Take care

- David

 

[mdvasquez]

Our DD will be 13 and our DS will be 14 when we sail. If anyones kids want to chat with mine, let me know and we can set it up.

T-Shirts sound great to me too.

Dena

 

[Donalds_best_pal]

Sound like you have had some rough days Gail. I hope that your son gets better. Have fun on the Wonder, I wish we were sailing before next christmas. Dancind:Your right on there being many 13 year old boys!LOL I will be 15 when we cruise so will be in the 15-17 group. I wanted to go play playstation in lab but 15-17 group doesnt go there. Oh well, maybe I could sneek in, I am pretty small for age. Hopfully your son and I could hook up.
Matt

 

[jan lyn]

Gail.
Sorry to hear your little guy isn't feeling well. Hope he's better soon, and your Wonder trip is magical.

 

[gail1771]

Hello Everyone. My son is finally feeling better and his fever broke this morning. It had reached 104.9 at one point. He is now out of danger and does not have to be readmitted to the hospital. Thank you for all of your best wishes. I am so lucky to have found this website and have met such nice people. It is going to make this special sailing on 12/18/04 even more magicial because you are all going. I wish it was not so far away, but for now we are so psyched to be going on the Wonder for 4 nights this Sunday. Thanks again to all. Talk to you soon. Gail1771

 

[Kabuli1]

Gail, I'm so relieved to hear that everything is ok w/ your son. What a tough time you've had. You already mean a whole bunch to us as well! Now, get that kid all better and enjoy your trip!
