Are we going to use this board for the 2008 Cruise or will somebody start a new one? Nanc and I haven't tried Everest yet. I know she won't go but I might.
We are still talking about the 2007 cruise and are waiting for the17th to start calling for 2008.

Hi Everyone,
We have been home since the day after the cruise,but really busy.Work hectic for me (Ashley) and Karen is on jury service.

We had an eventful flight,we were bumped off the direct flight to London and had to go via Atlanta instead.

Gary (son) who had stayed at WDW during the cruise was flying via Atlanta anyway so it didnt make a lot of difference to us.He was sure surprised to see us in Atlanta.Anyway we were given $200 each compensation and an upgrade to WOrld travellor Plus(More legroom bigger seats half way to business class).Only arrived one hour later in London than original flight so no hardship.However Karens bag was missing,after reporting it missing we started our car journey home,and on the way home we got a text message our bag had been found at the airport and we had it delivered two hours after we got home so no problem.

So now our comments on the cruise our first members Cruise.Overall we thought it was great.As we had been on three Disney Cruises before we didnt find things rushed as we knew where we wanted to be and when and what we wanted to do.To us it also seemed longer than four days which was great,we loved two days at CC.Our only problem was the last evening packing.

We really enjoyed the Legends talks,and the entertainment all four nights.To hear anecdotes about Mary Poppins and the Jungle book by R SHerman was very interesting and also the talk by Marty SKlar.The comedy by the Cruise entertainment staff late on the last night in the bar (I forget the name )was a blast for anyone who saw it.(Not suitable for children)

Only thing that didnt impress was legends ball which was a mess and we didnt get to see anything.

Overall brilliant .Wewont be doing 2008,as cant do September ,but will be back at WDW in October 2008

One other thing we forgot to mention,when we got back to our stateroom after CC on the last night,there was an invitation to a Cocktail Party in the Walt Suite.So we finally got to see the Suite and were treated like royalty by the staff there.Apparantly 36 people were invited,and their names picked at random form the DVC draw.

Anyway it was a nice touch on the last night.

MAny memories
Still not fully unpacked

Look forward to meeting our old and new friends again when we are back in Florida.Cold and wet in London today

can anyone tell me how soon we should be getting our castaway club numbers if this was our first cruise. we have another one booked so i'm curious.

 

[krdisneybound]

It takes probably about 2 months or so.

My sister had to make a phone call to get her number, when she was about to take her 2nd cruise.

They are very nice when you call to get it, as it is on file right away.

I just called for our number and they gave it to me. I wanted to have it for calling to book next week. They said it takes 4-6 weeks to get the stuff in the mail.

Well, better late than never, I have finally updated the trip report with a bunch more pictures. Still have to scan the pirate and beach pics and do the more complex website version, but here's something for you to check out: http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1611688

HI Mark
Dan here. Those are great pictures. Are you putting together a collection of pictures you took or pictures that are sent to you from people on the Cruise?
If so I can E-Mail some to you and Mary of the Cruise and pictures on Castaway.
Mary I see Nanc did some posting today I just noticed it on the board. We will get her broken in so she will do more.
Belive it or not we were planning and trying to decide what deck we wanted for next year.
Hope you guys had a great weekend.

Good morning everyone! Dan most of the pictures we are using are our own. Mark likes to do a kind of digital scrapbook up on the website (and I'll eventurally get around to the traditional paper version). If you have some pictures you want to send by all means do. Can't promise we'll use them all online but we love to see things from others perspectives too.

Have a great day everyone! 5 days until call in day for the 2008 cruise!









PDFG and all our friends who need it.

Happy Christmas Eve to everyone - have a joyous day

Giving this a bump up to say we finally finished the digital scrapbook and scan of the Member Picture. Click here if you would like to see the scrapbook. Click here if you want to see a scan of the group picture broken into 4 chunks so you can zoom in and find yourself. We're in frame #2.

Reading it all last night brought back some great memories!

Hi Ms Theresa,

I am Betty Skelly- skelster's wife. I was looking this thread and read thoroughly who can help me.

I love to get a copy for the pirate group picture. I did not get a copy before we leave the ship. Due to the travels and move after the cruise. We are now here in Japan for 8 months. I finally updating my travel album and found that I don't have a copy of the group picture. I am so excited with that photo because I am standing next to Captain Hook.

I cannot send a pm to you because I don't have enough post. Pls send to my email which I can still not put it here......

Thanks a bunch...

Betty Skelly

Well folks, I don't know who is still subscribed to this thread, but have a bit of sad news. Virginia Davis passed away today at the age of 90.

I'm so glad we had the opportunity to see her.

 

[JOANNEL]

How sad, we too are glad we got to see her.

Thanks for posting.

 

[DaveH]

We agree it is sad. She was a joy to be around. We are glad we met her too.
