6/7/11 - It's a double dip DREAM!

[mrp4352]

Hi all! We had a great time at our 100 Day party last Saturday! Mom and I made lanyards with faux room keys for us all to wear, we had kabobs from the grill, danced to party music and played a rousing game of DCL Memory!

A couple pics for you:

My brother also unveiled his new countdown calendar!

Alyssa (the one on the right) was even carrying the purse I brought her from Nassau during the party!

And to top off the weekend, I came home yesterday afternoon to this - the countdown that my brother and SIL made for Mom and me! Our own Aquaduck!

He's taped to the mirror in our dining room! (Hey look! That's Mom's reflection in the mirror! Hi Mom!!)

What a great idea! Love the cake!

I think because I'm so busy with school and work that I will not be automatically updating the spreadsheet. I know I do not have all the new people on it. If you want to be added to the spreadsheet or infomation (like FE) needs to be updated, please send me a PM or post a thread specifally for the spreadsheet. I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Mom found and ordered our FE gifts yesterday! WooHoo!! Another checklist item crossed off.

Someone had asked about FE cut off dates - I think we had been talking about April 1st because of the end of the school year and May generally just being really busy. That makes sense, but maybe there's someway we can still let late joiners participate, just with the understanding that some will be unable to give to them because they were not a part of the list at our designated cut-off date. I know that we ordered extras in anticipation of having people join our group between now and the cruise.

Sounds good to me, but of course I'm one of those that plan on getting a certain # and going from there. I'm making my stuff and I just don't know if in the end I'll feel like making more...just sayin!

I'm about to call my TA and pay off this cruise! Maybe then they'll assign me a cabin number!!!

Fun! Looking up our exact room location was one of the first things I did! I wish someone would post and say they had rooms near ours!

Keep seeing Disney commercials on tv. Just made our meal reservations for our WDW trip right after the cruise! My son will be turning 11 the day after we get off the ship, so I'm excited for him to spend his bday at the Magic Kingdom.

 

[4newtocruise]

Help, I can't get on the Disney website to book my rese's! There must be a lot of people on!!!

Make sure you get him a birthday button! How fun!

Trying to book my excursions this morning, but DCL website not cooperating. That or my internet is messed up, but seeing as I'm able to comment on here I don't think it's the latter! Guess there are lots of people up this morning trying to do the same!

Are you stuck on the "Please wait.." screen??

I KNOW!!! Weren't people at the 105 day window saying the same thing? Doesn't look like I'll get too much work done today!


Yes - stuck on the "please wait..."


ETA - I DON'T WANNA WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So are you waiting or trying to refresh the screen? Did you do online check-in? It let me choose 10:30 arrival time.

 

[Myth-USA]

I say FOUL!!!

Shame on Disney!!!!

I keep going back and forth between screens on the website hoping when I go back to the booking page it will finally let me, but that's not happening. As I'm typing this, my tab still says "please wait" so I know it's not moving!
I did do online check-in and it tied me over for a bit. I picked the 10:30 arrival time also.

Are you booking excursions or are you strictly trying to find a Palo or Remy times? We're not too concerned with the restaurants. If I could get a Palo time, I'd probably take it, but am not going to be horribly disappointed if we don't get one.

I got up at midnight and got thru, but Palo brunch and tea was already booked.

I want to book excursions at C.C. and going to try to get a Palo rese. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I just keep on trying to refresh the page, hoping one time it will go through! Very frustrated!

I've heard other posters say the same about Palo and brunch is really all I would want to do.

My sister is going to call DCL and see if there's any luck there.
