4/25/09 Magic - First Visit To Tortola!

[LocustPoint]

Excellent job! I've been trying to get an updated list and tried working through the thread but still missed a couple of groups!

 

[BubblesNH]

I think Gatorvet wanted on the FE list??

 

[lsutigger2]

Welcome to the new comers We're glad you didn't miss the boat

Gatorvet: I'll add you to the fe list. Please send along cabin # info when you have it. That puts the list at 18 participating.

Others who may have already gotten the spreadsheet, please add gatorvet or I'll be glad to send along an updated list sometimes over the weekend.
I think I'll start putting the date on the bottom of the list so if you get several you'll know which one is the most current.


Does anyone else not have their fe made yet??? I don't know why I keep putting it off. It will get done before we leave or our door will be the one with the Walmart bag tied to the fish

I also love the logo - thanks Rebecca. I admire people who can do things like that.

Take care. I hope everyone has a great weekend. LSU baseball boys are playing out of town, so maybe I'll get something done - like make our fe!!

Glad to hear we can do the FE. Tim is booked in Cabin 2102 with Caleb and Noah (both 5 year old boys). I am in 2104 with Haley and Jordan (both 8 year old girls).
Tim's parents are actually travelling with us as well, but they are staying in yet another cabin and would have no interest in fish extenders. We live in Burleson, Texas, just outside of Fort Worth. I saw there were families on here from Frisco and Plano as well. We aren't too far away.
We will be flying into MCO Friday night and staying at the Embassy Suites. We need a bigger than average room for the six of us and we got a rate of $111.80 for a two-room suite including breakfast. We will book our own shuttle to the port as DCL gets a little high with that many people.
We will definitely dress up for pirate night since I made us all costumes last year. Hopefully they will still fit!

I was bored today (* on FE List). I'll post this here as people can point out my mistakes...

I was bored at work yesterday and I started going the same thing! But then I actually had to work and wasn't able to finish my list. I'm glad you did this.

As I mentioned above, we are also flying in on Friday the 24th and staying at the MCO Hyatt. Our flight gets in around 9 pm. We're using DCL transfers to get to port. There's only 2 of us so the price isn't a big deal and I like the convenience.

My DH and I arrive around 9:25, we are also using DCL transfers so I'm sure we will run into you in the lobby! Mary

We are also staying at the MCO Hyatt Friday night and will be using DCL transfers.

Thanks for the list. It will help me to try and remember names. It's also nice to see that there are a few other kids my daughters' ages going from the Boards. When I sped through the previous posts, I didn't take notes and didn't retain all the info in 30+ pages of threads

My daughter's been over to the kid's thread and been chatting over there.

We still haven't decided where to stay. I'm thinking we might do Downtown Disney when we get in to eat and do some pin trading Then drive over to the port. I'd like to be on board pretty early have lunch and maybe swim.

Well, it's off to work I go....hi ho..hi ho....

Everybody enjoy your day

Wow!! Thanks for doing this!! I've saved the list you made so if you want, I can keep track of any new cabins.

Welcome to the FE list!! I think those are the last 2 cabins because we have 20 now so the FE list should be closed. I was working on organizing FE gifts for each cabin last night! Fun!!

I'm also the one that lives in Frisco! Yay Texans!

We got a small upgrade We will be in stateroom 7024.

Congrats on the upgrade!! It looks like you might be neighbors with sandyrella1010. She's in 7020!

Yea for you

I just checked, we're still GTY - but we only have 3 in our party - so I'm not holding my breathe

What cat. were you a gty for? We are a cat.12 and no cabin yet I called DCL just to make sure they had everything for us and he said not to expect a cabin number until 7 days before and documents 14 day before from UPS. I hope it is quicker than that, I had the whole family around the computer tonight when I checked. DH wanted to know if we were in the engine room.

We inquired about a cruise on March 7 and paid on March 11. We booked a Cat 6. There were no Cat 6's available and we were told by TA that it was unusual for them to still be booking Cat 6 as GTY this late. My thought was they must have had a large selection of Cat 5's still available

We are 4 people and I reguested quotes on a Cat. 11, 9 or 6 and all were available, I believe, as GTY.

The upgrade is a very small upgrade. It is an upgrade only because it costs more to be on one deck over another. The Cat 5 & 6 staterooms are the same. I didn't want a solid wall verandah though and I don't think this stateroom has one

I feel for you. It is so frustrating not knowing where you are going to be located. However, I also feel good things are going to come your way

I hope they post all the GTY room assignments soon

 

[BubblesNH]

Thanks for the support. We are just happy to be going! The Veranda sounds wonderful! We have good friend that booked a veranda on their 1st cruise and loved it so now they can't live without it. I'm hoping for Cat 9 or might see if there is an upgrade available at the port but not counting on it.

Hang in there BUBBLESNH!!!

We have been waiting , and hoping as well.

We booked 2 GTY 12's (4 in one cabin, 2 in another... so I figured one would hopefully be upgraded to an 11..) for an amazing price back in Dec.

WE GOT UPGRADED!!!

2 CAT 9's!!! Right next to each other! Would have loved connecting, but not too concerned, just so happy to have port holes!! Midship, too!

Wishing some good luck to you!And everyone else waiting too.

That's fantastic How lucky to be next to each other. The port holes will be nice. Congrats

More pixie dust for those still waiting.

And a 5 week dance

....How lucky to be next to each other....



Yes, I know! I have heard many stories on the Dis of people being on different decks, when they receive an upgrade. We are so very grateful!

Do you think celebrating a birthday has anything to do with it? ( I'll be celebrating my 40th while we are cruising).

Hi -- Just poking in to let you know I will post the wristband list tomorrow - or Monday at the very latest. I want to order them by April 1st. In going through the posts since I mentioned the wristbands there were people who said it was a good idea and later others specifically asked for wristbands. So, am going to post who everyone I am assuming wants them and you can let me know if you want to be off the list or if your name is missing. It will be so much fun to see everyone that first day - all fresh and excited and ready to sail.
