Late dining here too! We've always had late dining & wouldn't even consider early! It's perfect for our group, even when the kids were 2!

 

[disneyfan551]

Yonkrs Girl...do I still need to get any info. to you for the FE? Thanks!

 

[Sinderelly]

It looks like most of us have late dining?

 

[granmaz]

Can we do this on the first night? Put them in the clubs that is. My dd7 is also dying to go and I told her she had to wait until the next day to go by herself as the first day was for family time only. I didn't realise she go stay on that night. She will be happy.

Yes, the kids can go in that night. When you first board and in late afternoon - there is "family time" for those that want to visit the clubs with their kids and see what they are about, etc. But the kids can still stay without parents and can definitely be in there later that night. It usually takes my DD awhile to adjust but since her buddy that lives next door is going and another friend as well - I don't think it will be as hard of an adjustment this time We shall see!

I have your info! Thanks so much! I sent PM's to those that I didn't have any info. for yesterday morning but haven't heard back yet so going to wait a few more hours and then will PM the list as we have it and just be sure to leave them in pink so everyone will know who needs updating. We will also need to add Cabin Numbers once everyone has been assigned one but that can be as late as a few weeks before we leave but everyone will know how many cabins and who is in them

Any thoughts on whether we should have a "cut-off" date for signing up???

Thanks!

185 Days to go!!!

Okay, now I haven't had my coffee yet, but, I was thinking that maybe we could make the cut off date around the same time that final payments are due? I think for returning cruisers it is July, I am not sure on what the final payment time is for first timers (OH YOU FIRST TIMERS ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN!) That way, unless there are some unforeseen personal problems, that is a guarantee who all is going. Is that too late?

We have first dining . Sounds like a lot of you will have second dining, so we will try and leave some food for all of you!
Is anyone else staying at the Radisson?

Hello!

Thanks so much for replying! I think July may be a little late for add-ons for those who like to shop early and have their stuff ready but I am open to what everyone thinks. The 90-day out would be June 21st so maybe we can make it June 1st??? Anyone else have any thoughts?

We have early seating as well - we are a group of 15.

We are staying at the Four Points Sheraton - further away from the Port but we love it and enjoy the gift shop and it's across the street from Ron Jon - which we all love to walk around and browse in!

Considering heading down on Thursday and letting the kids miss school on Friday (will be a slow day since they are on school break the week of the cruise) and spending the day at the beach. We did this last September before our 4-night and it was great!

 

[hannahguad]

Okay, coffee hit!! Yep, I like the June 1st date! That gives everyone time to shop or craft all summer. Your right, July is pushing it with some school's starting to go back in July.
Heading down on Thursday is tempting! DH would have to take another day off work and we don't want to mess with the hand that feeds us at times!
BUT, it would give us time to breath and just chill for a little., even though the whole cruise is supposed to be for that. HMMM, will have to go check my calculations, budget, oh man, I am REALLY tempted though.. not good, I better lay off the coffee!

 

[DisneyCruiser83]

We have a late seating too, but we will surely be at the meet! Is it September yet?

 

[Sinderelly]

I like the June 1st date or even earlier would be fine with me. I am chomping at the bit to put my FE gifts together.

I am excited about the kids

 

[nvcruiser]

Sounds good to me too! I finally have a vague idea what I want to do... we'll see if it happens!

 

[mamajojo]

June 1st is fine with me as well. We were late seating but our waitlist came through about a month ago and we are main seating.

Thats great. DD will be happy.

We have early dining too. I'm glad to see there are a few others out there with early. I was starting to think we were the only ones.

We are staying at AKL for the week before hand. We thought about leaving the night before and staying close but decided we might aswell stay where we are. We thought we might have our anniversary dinner the night before at California Grill while the kids go to Simbas Clubhouse and then if we have a late night, they can rest in the car on the way to port. If they are lucky we might get a quick swim in at the resort before we go.

June 1st sounds good to me for the cutoff for FE. I'm dying to go shopping although I have absolutely no idea what to buy. I was going to buy my FE from ebay but I've decided to give it a go myself. I figure if I mess it up, I will still have time for ebay.

I am sure we will be seeing you quite a bit!( I will apologise in advance for my loud children ) We are staying at AKL and have eary dinning. I think I also have a DD that is the same age as you oldest one

I look forward to meeting you as well! Have you lived in London all of your life? I still miss living there. This is my family's first cruise. I am the only one who has been on a cruise but it was a Carnival cruise that my Mom took me on for my 16th birthday. It was fun but I am really looking forward to this one

You will all love the Magic Yes, I have always lived in London.

185 Days to go!!!

If you order an FE on Ebay you might want to allow extra time. It took mine 3 weeks. It came from China.
