So it is

once again here and I am spending way too much time on the computer. From reading other posts,
1. It appears that REAS is still available as a package to book under the main reservations page. I agree with you DB though, I couldn't find it anywhere last night.
2. REAS and concierge clients will be able to book online at 105 days (assuming paid in full!) vs. 90 for
castaway club members and 75 for everyone else. -- Doesn't mean anything for us or most of the west coast cruises however, since we are well inside that window anyway -- so no real benefit for this cruise.
3. I read on one thread that
DCL did not make all of the reservations slots available online, and there will still be reservations available online (Be interested to see how this actually works.)
4. You are right V-Bug, not all of the spa treatments were available online. So do we still need to get those reservations when we board or will they be available online later?
5. Unclear how we will get pagers, wristbands for the kiddo's. Hopefully, they will be ready and waiting the first time the kids go to the club/lab? I haven't ever cruised before so I was a little unclear how this worked before.
NOTE: did anyone else notice in the kid registration area that it said pagers would be issued for children under age 10? I thought it was 12 or is this new?
V-Bug: I put a note in DD11 and DD9's registration that they would like to be together in the 10-12 group. Are you going to move your DD9 up also?
Holly & Kelley: DH's birth month was wrong also. He likes that he is 10 months younger according to DCL

, but I told him I would have to fix it since his passport won't match
Kelley: you need a pirate name (see post #286)

arrgh ...
I sent an email to my TA at DU last night with some questions, but I got a generic email back this morning saying that there would be a delay in responding. I am guessing they are swamped right now! The compulsive planner in me (Cap'n Anne fits!) went ahead and booked Spa and flounder ressies last night and registered the kids. I had previously been able to book Palo with the TA (CAT 3) and those reservations were already in DCL's system.
In the immediate short term, I think REAS and concierge people lost one of the big "perks" that we have paid extra for since we are inside 105 days, However, overall, I think this new system is great and I think the website is really well done and organized -- Kudos to Disney
Going forward I can imagine it will make embarkation that much more wonderful and magical
