Just checking in. I keep forgetting to call my travel agent, but tried to e-mail her about our final payment. I still haven't heard from her. That's what I get for being so forgetful. I was paranoid about paying early encase something happened to DH's job. It's hard for me to part w/ money. I can't wait to meet everyone.

You can still sign up for bracelets if you'd like. I have not ordered them yet!

Thanks. I'll take two of them. Let me know how to reimburse you.

I don't know if this interests anyone, but thought I'd share... after you're paid off, you can call DCL and pre-pay into your onboard account. I had a really good paycheck and wanted to do something with the money other than spend it throughout the summer, so it's in my account waiting for me to spend it on tips, virgin mai tais, and souvies! 3 months!!!!!!!!

Hope we are not to late checking in. But count us in! Wishing everyone that they get their choices they want on Sunday. Have a great weekend.

yeap been doing that about once a month so far. i THINK I have enough OBC between what DCL kicked in, what DU matched and what I have added to keep our final bill at a non heart attack inducing level...
I pretty much have already paid for excursions and Palo ressies and hope there is enough to have a few drinks too... heheheh

My first cruise i was sooooooo worried about having a huge bill at the end that we were too stingy at the beginning..and had all this money left on the account at the end. so we ended up getting more pictures than we really needed or wanted...

Hi all, haven't been here in ages - had a long Florida vacation, and busy with our cruise reservations for the week before this one.

Does anyone know the night Pirate Night is? Thanks. Have to get up for 5am tomorrow to try and get some reservations.

Welcome back, Marilyn! I heard you had a great vacation. Holly and Tyler loved their week in Orlando. Holly passed along the news from Donna (Ragdoll). We first met Donna and Harry in either 2004 or 2005 on the Magic.

Hi Jan. It was great to meet Holly and Tyler again. They did seem to have a load of fun. Hoping and praying for good news for Harry and Donna.

We are Greg and Vicki from Virginia. We will be on this cruise and the one before it. We really enjoy the Disney cruises even though we don't have kids. We have 2 adorable longhaired miniature dachshunds. Our 29th anniversary is Sept. 13th, and mn DH birthday is Sept. 20th. We are main dining now, but will be switching to last dining to join a group of very nice people who were on the WBPC with us last May,

Marilyn, I hope you manage to get some sleep in before 5 ! I would actually rather get up at 5 then have to stay up until midnight tonight But that's because I am often up at 5:30 am for work anyway, as I was this morning so I am starting to fade already

Good Luck to all who are trying to book their excursions and Palo tonight. I hope we all get what we want

Oh, and Marilyn, I think Pirate Night is the 23rd, can anyone confirm this?

Okay, I may not have a problem staying awake after all. My neighbours have started their graduation party for their daughter A large group of 13 yr olds have just arrived and there is a lot of sqealing and running around happening already, apparently it is going to be an outside party

This morning at 5 am my Dh and I had to get up for a job. While getting ready he says to me "the laptop is acting up, the keyboard was typing the wrong keys" So I go over to the desk and start to check my mail etc, the mouse works, I can navigate the internet. Then I start typing a reply to an e-mail and there's the problem, something's definitely wrong.

OK OK don't panic, all I have to do is re-boot right? Wrong
now the computer won't re-boot all the way AND the keyboard isn't responding at all. Now this isn't a new computer by any means, the battery life is non-existant, the power cord doesn't want to always connect.... BUT I need my computer TONIGHT Please Not Now, not at the 90 days and 14 hour mark

But I have to work all day, and I don't have time to bring it into the Genius Bar at the Mac Store until 6:30. So I book an appointment expecting to have to buy a new Mac. If I do that, will I be able to have it up in time for Palo reservations?! Or will I have to go into my shop (own my own biz) at midnight and make my ressies from there?

Finally I get to the mac store and patiently wait my turn. The wonderful Genius determines that its only my keyboard that is defective and if they have it in stock, he can replace it easily Few more minutes pass as he goes into the back room and retreives my new keyboard... and Voila my laptop is running again and it was a $48 fix - Whoo hoo! Thank you Mac Genius

I am back up and running now (as you can see), now I just have to stay awake until midnight

Take a deep breath I'm glad you have conquered the problem! Good luck tonight! I hope we both get what we want

Good night everyone, now it's time for me to go run my daily 5K.

I was able to book Palo brunch - Sunday at 10am; Palo dinner - Monday at 6pm; fishing at CC for Dave; and Seven Mile Beach at Grand Cayman; we plan to go to Nachi, on our own, at Coz; no plans in Key West, as this will be my third visit and Dave's second within a year (all visits via the Magic). Although, Key West is one of my favorite stops.

We were wait listed for main dining and our ressie shows that we have main dining.
