No doc's for us either. We booked through Costco-I heard they take longer. got my suitcases out!

I think Disney mails them to Costco and then they send them to you. I know that is how it is with AAA travel.
They'll come before you have to leave.

Haven't gotten our docs yet either. I am impatiently waiting...... although I did go shopping and picked up some new clothes for the cruise, that made me feel a little better about not receiving the docs yet. What will it be tomorrow..... docs ...... or shopping????

How about BOTH?

It makes sense that it might take longer to get docs if they have to go to your travel agent first . . . I had booked onboard and kept everything direct with DCL, so that might be why mine came on Monday. It made the trip seem very real to have to fill out those Bahamian immigration forms!

Because we booked so late, our TA asked DCL to send the docs directly to us. We still didn't get them that quickly and are still missing one set. What if one set doesn't come??? It's mine too. I don't wanna stay home.

They will come . . . but if they don't you will just show up at the port with your reservation info,ID, etc., . . . it will take longer to check in but you will still get on the ship!

My Denver docs arrived about 5 minutes ago on a ups truck. No upgrades for us (not surprised), anyone get lucky?

No, I got the same cabin number and category I had originally booked.

Pclaire, maybe all the Denver people are getting their docs today!!!

Both sounds great to me! Yesterday I did buy something I thought would be perfect for my kids (ages 13 & 10). Cheap watches that can go underwater. I will give them to them when we get on board. That way they have no excuses not to meet us when they are supposed. They can take them swimming with no problems.

We also booked onboard and have everything direct with DCL. Maybe it's alphabetical by last name, or state, who knows? I am not worried, just anxious to get the docs to make it more real.

My docs arrived yesterday afternoon!! something about those luggage tags is really nice . . .

Hurray! Now if kathym can get hers today . . .

 

[kathym]

Hurray! Now if kathym can get hers today . . .

I DID! YEAH!!!

Has anyone come up with a way of recognizing each other yet? This is my first time so I am not sure what others have done in the past. When I opened my docs I noticed we have way more suitcase tags then we need. Would it be possible to take one and make a bracelet out of it, then we could look for them both before boarding and on the boat? The borders of mine are lime green. Second thought; probably not everyone has the Disney luggage tags..... Or maybe just make a paper bracelet out of an agreed upon color with our DIS name on them? Just brain storming.

 

[skibum]

No docs yet, but called Costco and they said they shipped them UPS overnight yesterday. So hopefully later this afternoon we will see them.

 

[pclaire]

I like the idea of a lime green necklace or bracelet

Sounds good to me . . .

 

[Psychodisney]

woohoo-docs came today. Skibum did you get yours?
I noticed we sail earlier from Cozumel than my original itinerary said. My old paper work said 10:00-docs say 6:30. We were considering dinner in Cozumel-guess that won't work-oh well!

 

[skibum]

Still waiting . . .
Going to go watch the DCL special on the Travel Channel with DD's.

 

[Candy Apple]

TA just called. Documents are in!!

 

[T&Tmom]

No docs for us yet either. I am very impatiently waiting!! Maybe tomorrow. I think I will send an e-mail to the online TA and see if they are on their way.

And we are now in single digits!!! Only 9 more days!

 

[skibum]

Woo-Hoo!!!
UPS just pulled up, and Docs were there!!!
Eight more days and we will be in Florida
Watched the Travel Channel show on DCL, and it felt like home. We cannot wait!!
