Will my upgrade I MEAN room assingmnet!!
Show up on Disney res system or Dreams Unlimited if I booked thru them? (which I did)

 

[ibouncetoo]

I am surprised DCL didn't try to sell some upgrades first. On our September cruise oceanview people were getting calls offering verandah cabin upgrades for like $200-$300. Some folks grabbed it, some figured there could be pixie dust coming along later (and some did get 'dusted') or waited to try and upgrade at the port

QOTW: Will you participate in Stateroom Tag?

It's a Mickey Head magnet that finds its way to different doors...On it is a list of staterooms and you cross yours off once you've been tagged. There is also a "Return to" stateroom prominently displayed, since people have been known to steal it and stick it on non-participating doors...Teenage pranksters, usually...Anyhow, it's a fun little game.


- Lynne

Yes we will participate in Stateroom Tag it sounds fun.

We're in a Cat 6 I'll ask my aunt how she feels about letting people see the room if you need a Cat 6 still. I don't think we're going to be upgraded.

Let the Obsessive Reservation Checking continue...

Oh it began for me at 3:30 am (which is when I got up this morning). I was hoping maybe it would be a "midnight" posting.

[Missymowse]

Ohhhh you're all going to be sooo sick of my endless questions!
Is there a way to stay logged into the disney cruise website or do I have to keep putting my res # in everytime I visit for "security purposes"?

I took of the moderation provision -- you can now post instantly. The password is the name of the flooded port. PM me if you don't get it.

MissyMouse - I really like your countdown timer! very cute

Wow! Those are some awesome upgrades! Congrats to all.

Don't worry fellow 12'ers! Just think of all the 8s and 9s being opened up for us!

Eleasa

it may still happen - I had not been upgraded when I left this evening - but just came back and checked again - and I got an early Birthday gift (my bday is tomorrow) - we went from a 10 to a 5! I am so excited! my kids said to not talk about it anymore I am getting on their nerves so I thought I would share my excitement here!

I hope everyone in our group gets upgraded!

This whole upgrade thing feels like sorority rush - why did they get bumped to xxx while I didn't?

Just like in "The Godfather" and "You've Got Mail" - It's not personal, it's business. I can't imagine they are doing this without some sort of computer program.

Nice to see that they have (mostly?) kept families together - I'm sure that was factored in.

Each time I check the Castaway Club page - that is where we are checking, right? my heart rate speeds up a little, only to be disappointed.

I keep reminding myself that I paid very little for this cruise and will have the same benefits of everyone in Cat 4-12, and I will be happy with that. That is my mantra for the day. Disney cruise for $50 a day?

Yeah, it's easy to get swept up in upgrade mania. I just don't want to set myself up for disappointment - we got a great deal on this cruise and we're first time dcl cruisers, so as far as upgrades go, we're probably pretty low on the list.

I'm really happy to be going on this cruise period, so I don't want to get all excited for an upgrade that may never happen!

No room for us yet either.We originally booked on Day 1 but rebooked on our 5/09 cruise to get the OBC and slightly lower price. If they're filling the higher cats with the earliest bookings, I guess we're out of that now.

Oh BTW Auntie we are in the first seating for dinner.
Everybody/Anybody else?

I called AAA today since I've heard that they sell Euros. The deal is that you (I) would pay the exchange rate that they are quoting on the day they are ordered, it takes 24 hours to get them, and if I order less than $1000US, there is a $12 shipping fee. For anything $1000 or over, the shipping fee is waived. . .

Good, now I don't have to call them. . .

You might want to check with your local AAA office.

Services (other than towing) often differ by region.

If you are a Castaway Club member, the site will remember your information automatically. I believe first time cruisers have to reenter their information each time.

I have been managing the reservations of other "first-timer" family members on the site, so I understand that this process get's old fast!

Welcome, BTW!

 

[Missymowse]

Thanx Auntie, Woody, Gum and everyone else for the welcome!!

I'll have to manage Gumdrop
Disney just doesn't want me pinging their site a million times I think

Yes we would like to participate in stateroom tag.

Did get the room # this morning, #6000. It is a HA, which does seem to have some nice perks in being bigger and the bathroom larger/roomier but does loose the sitting area/couch. I saw the pics of it on the stateroom virtual tour, have any of you stayed in this room? Thoughts?

We're on the main dining seating too

As are we!

Welcome to those new to our group!

Yes, we would like to play Mickey/door tag. Sounds like a hoot!

If any of my fellow Canadians are interested in the Pacsafe brand, I found a US site which delivers to Canada. I think their excellent prices make up for the shipping costs. The only places I found in Ontario which carried Pacsafe products a) didn't have the particular products we wanted and b) what they did have were twice the price at this place. It took just over a week for my package to arrive.

Patiently (NOT) awaiting our gty 12 room assignment. Im not ready to give up hope yet! I figure they can't offer me a pay for upgrade until they give me an assignment in the first place! But I do agree with others though, Im just thrilled to be going on this trip in the first place. We picked the cat 12 in order to use the $ on excursions, no sour grapes here!
