gvivanco to our humble thread. No kids cruising with us. We will be on our honeymoon.

Thanks for the kid count Kileybeth. I just wanted to make sure someone had the same boy/girl count.

Gamomof2-We had to call DCL to add $$ to our onboard account. We couldn't find a place to do it online and found out it's cause you can't do it online

THANKS!!!....i tried to PM disneymoon0909 but apparently I don't have "status" to post PMs yet.....yup, we got moved to GTY too.

Will keep reading to find the meeting spots. Definitely am in for the bracelets.

Hi! Your two little ones are part of the count, I just checked. Girl 9 and Boy2 for FE.

If you want lance armstrong type braclets(with our cruise meet info on them) let disneymoon0909 know asap as she has to order soon.

Hope everything settles out for your cabin arrangements.

We are sailing GTY so won't know anything until 30 days or so out from cruise I'm guessing and then they can still change it on us up until sail day! We have two cabins/one family so it should be interesting.

OPPS! must have been posting at same time. The braclets are around $1.25 a piece I think. Need to pay disneymoon0909 at the terminal on embarkation day to get them. She is only ordering enough for those who have specified they want them I think?

 

[gvivanco]

Thank you, Sinderelly! I enjoy so much reading everyone's posts! It gets me more excited!!

 

[gamomof2]

Thanks. working towards money on our Disney Visa rewards right now and using that too.

where on the DCL site are you able to go and put money on your onboard account?

I just called the number on the DCL site and talked to a friendly woman, who took my info and added my money to the onboard account (spent a bit on excursions) just like that. hope that helps.

It was the same with me... there isn't anywhere on the DCL site to add to your onboard account... you have to call either your TA or DCL directly. They're way awesome about getting however much added on there that you want. They even told me that I already had a $25 credit for booking online! Yay me! I decided to put money into my account now while I have it rather than scrounging for souvenier money in September.

Hi, I just got onto these boards, and have been looking around and found this forum for my cruise date. Hope I'm not too late to join in. This will be my family's first Disney cruise! I have cruised before (a loooonnng time ago - Big Red Boat), but this will be my hubby and kids first cruise ever! My little girls are 6 and 4, so I hope they will make some friends in the kid's play place!

We are so excited!!!

Gretchen

Welcome aboard Gretchen, I have 2 girls also, they will be 9 and 6 on the cruise. We will have to introduce our 6 year olds.

 

[gvivanco]

Thank you!! I can't wait to meet everyone!

 

[kileybeth]

And just because I am OCD like this and I finally got going on my FE sorting and such. . .

We currently have
1 family on Deck 8,
4 families on deck 7
15 families on deck 6
4 families on deck 5 and
11 families who knows where!

That's all 35 cabins! Put your walking shoes on folks!

Then we get GTY's assigned
and then we get free/paid upgrades
and then we are gonna need that LIST magnetically posted on a specific cabin door for sure. I think I remember someone volunteering but foolishly did not write it down.

I bet Yonkr's_Girl knows

Hey everyone- i had to move our group to gty cat 12's to shave some money off in order to get paid on time. I will provide corrected room numbers when i get them assigned by DCL for the FE list

 

[KIRSTIN'S MOMMY]

Hi everyone! Haven't been around much lately, it's been a crazy busy summer around here so far, and my youngest will turn 2 on Friday, so I've got a birthday party to plan for on Sunday to add to the mix What have I missed? I see that you guys are ordering bracelets, has that been done yet? If not, we'll take 4, if so, that's ok too Has the final FE list w/ cabin numbers been sent out? I haven't gotten a PM in quite some time, so just wanted to double check.

Hope you guys are all doing well, can't wait to meet everyone! I'll try to pop in more often so I can keep up

 

[Yonkrs_Girl]

Thank you!! I can't wait to meet everyone!

WELCOME! We have a really great group and I am looking forward to meeting everyone!

Welcome Back! Send a message or a PM to disneymoon0909, she is ordering the braclets and she can let you know.


Rosemary, We are sailing GTY cat 12 as well (sigh) but at least we are on the boat! I love your countdown "thingy" It is cool that it is counting down in days!!!

 

[Ashaloo]

Aboard Ashaloo!! So good to have more people sailing with us. It's going to be SO much fun.

Thanks!!! I CANNOT wait! DH is a huuuuuuuuuuuge kid, but when it comes to the DCL, I think I beat him out for over-the-top-Christmas-Eve excitement. I just know it's going to be the experience of a lifetime and am super-psyched. It'll be great to meet all the DISers, as well! YAY!

 

[Ashaloo]

Wow, more Honeymooners This is gonna be a fun cruise,
Welcome aboard!

Most definitely! I didn't realize what a popular HM destination the DCL was until I began perusing this thread... It's gonna be a great time!

On another note, I was a little late (as usual ) in booking Palo, but I DID it! The only openings left were for dinner on day 1 and day 7. Out of the two, we decided to go for the early booking on day 7 and then plan on catching our regular seating for the experience.... And maybe a little extra dessert! WOOHOO!

 

[gvivanco]

Hi, everyone!

Can anyone tell me which pier we come in on in Cozumel? And also, if anyone knows how long it takes to get to Chankanaab Park by taxi from when we port?

Thanks so much to anyone who can help with this!

[Disneymoon0909]

I am ordering bracelets on the morning of 7/15, if there are any last minute changes or requets please let me know asap!!!

Here is the list as I have it now, we are up to 110, I am considering ordering 120 and having 10 extra in case anyone decides to buy one last minute or loses one while on the cruise...thoughts? Just as a reminder, bracelets will be around $1.50 a piece (I will know exact cost once I order).

We just booked today, I'm behind but excited! This will be our first 7 day, we've done two 4 days and I am so excited. My husband and I will be travelling with our three little ones, ages 7, 5 and 2. I will have to read everything to catch up, but just wanted to say hello! Also, anyone who could tell me about the childcare would be very helpful! Thanks!

I am thinking I remember HC in passing telling me that he volunteered for the posting but I am not positive! Just to calm my nerves, I went onto the Yahoo group and I don't see our name on the list there.... Am I missing the location? I have been working every night get get gifts done!
I started shopping today for things, our DD has not grown in months and now overnight she has poped out of her 12 month clothes and seems to be needing 18months! Darn her for growning I mean she is only 17 months old! So things are getting bought for her! Our DS needs some new shoes but I am waiting till closer to the sail date since he grows like a weed!
Fingers crossed that all goes well over the next few weeks and we get everything done!

 

[so_oregon]

woo hooo....got the plane tickets, arriving Friday, got the transportation company coming to get us Friday night and taking us to Port Canaveral (Quality Inn Suites), got pick up from cruise arranged,
