20050514..May 14, 2005...Official Check in Disney's 1st 14 Day thru Panama Canal Part 2

[Scott H]

I just got off the phone with DCL...they have a recommended company that delivers your boxes to the ship on sail date....The only charge to you would be mailing them to the company ahead of time...I already called and spoke with them..the girl sounds great. Like you..my little gift is turning into a gift bag of little goodies..lol.

You can call 321-799-9100 I spoke with Kelley at this warehouse.

Hope this helps..sounds like a great option.

webray, thanks this sounds like a good way to go, might send ahead formal stuff etc.

1. People's names; location and whether they are playing tag or not..
2. Each day and the schedule of disboard activities for that day.

[Q's My Princess]

What are they charging for this service?

 

[bettemom]

Kim, just want to say that you dont have Very good luck When it comes to Disney.. Period... Have you ever thought of another addiction ?
Universal Maybe ? Peteeee

Hi Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater...

As long as I do not get downgraded this trip all will be fine .. Where would I go then ?? the life rafts ??


Kim

 

[videogal1]

What are they charging for this service?

You pay the shipping to them (IDS) and they take it to the ship That's all..They (Kelley) requested that the box be marked with stateroom number so it should get there...In absence of stateroom number, mark it in care of housekeeping....

That is so great! Instead of shipping to my Mom & Dad's house, I'll just ship our stuff to them. I love ways to make my life easier! Nothing worse than schlepping luggage, carry-ons, boxes, wine, etc. etc.. Not to mention keeping track of the kids at the same time!

OK so I'm busy at work and read this to fast. Thought you said "instead of shipping my mon and dad" Yikes I need to slow down

I posted this a little earlier, but it got lost in the flurry of earlier replies...

Does any one know how we will get these boxes once they're shipped to the port by the shipping company? Will they be delivered to our rooms, or will we have to find them and pick them up? Thanks!

When I called DCl and specifically asked what happened to the packages, I was told that they would be delivered to your cabin. If you did not have a cabin assigned then to put GTY on the box in place of cabin number and to make sure your reservation number was on the package..

We are shipping down a box a items that we do not plan on bringing home, sugar free snacks, books, small games, misc items... We will also ship our sailaway gifts down ahead of us, no need adding more to the pack-mule .

Bye, Kim

 

[anxioustotravel]

For some reason I can never answer anything. It just won't accept my password. Hopefully, it will go through this time. I keep reading what every one is saying so at least I have been able to do that.

We would like to be on the list for the DVD of the trip.

 

[SandraLee]

Ok, I feel really stupid here . . . Is this company doing this out of the goodness of their heart? I can't believe they do this for FREE. Is this a part of DCL? (didn't think they did anything for free ) Surely, DCL would not want it known you can ship all this stuff to the ship ahead of time and have them do the work about delivering it all for free!

Does anyone know if DCL x-rays your luggage before delivering to your cabin?

On another subject . . . Keep sending me PMs about your excursions. I just got back yesterday and will be gone again this week, but I'm keeping all the lists. I'll post when there are enough.

I was thinking the same thing!! I guess it's incredible to think that they would do it for free!! We are so used to expecting to pay for everything and anything related to Disney...LOL I keep thinking "What's in it for them??" Now I'm trying to figure out what I can ship to the ship instead of lugging it!!!

 

[karaeric]

Hi all...sorry I've been kinda MIA lately. Work has been...well, absolutely miserable to say the least. Resume started circulating yesterday. Lots of calls from recruiters. Now I just hope they can find me something!

webray, thanks so much for that information on shipping stuff down early!! We are going to send our wine down early. That will really save us some work.

 

[Scott H]

Yes DCL does x-ray your luggage, found out one time when we had purchased Lynn a new dive knife.

And to think Leslie you need to ship from Florida to Florida! HA! I think I just solved my little "scrapbooking" extravaganza.

This shipping company will sure have alot to haul to the boat!!!!

Linda

P.S. Anxioustotravel (mom and dad) glad you are at least reading! But your post did work! I think it is your connection there or you are playing way too much Bingo and minature golf.

 

[tap & dap]

did anyone recive the phones according to the email i was supposed to get them yesterday i did not recive mine maybe tomorrow or friday or who knows hummmmmmmmm just thought i would check before i call them.....

I was supposed to get mine yesterday too... checked the website and it said my order was "in process" whatever that means. I guess their shipping is as slow as their website!

Linda: LOL... yes I know... awful isn't it...

Kara: How do you plan on shipping wine... that's what I was thinking... but do you think it will make it intact?? Sorry to hear that your job is a pain. Good luck finding something new.... I'll be starting a new job search right after we come back from the cruise....

I don't think I'll bring as much wine as I did on the 10 night..... Margaritas in Mexico sound so much better.... maybe I"ll just bring a blender, some mix and buy tequila along the way.... Of course I keep forgetting that I have to schlep stuff back on a plane.. which I'm not used to. Sorry everyone... I know I won't get any sympathy... but we're spoiled living here in FL.

 

[Q's My Princess]

Kara: How do you plan on shipping wine... that's what I was thinking... but do you think it will make it intact??

Leslie,
We just shipped a case to a friend in FL as a house-warming gift. A friend who works at a winery gave us a box that has styrofoam in it for shipping vino! Works great!
