[portsofcall]

Im still in
sorry i havent posted in a while i have been so busy with the wedding and and getting the house ready for me to move in i think by next week i will be able to move in

Forgive us as we're Lego fans and have no clue what a Photopass is.

 

[karentan]

the photopass thing is a card you get given by photographers in the park. everytime you get a photo taken by a photographer in the park, its put on this card. you can then get them printed, or you can order a CD with all the images on it.
http://www.disneyphotopass.com/ here's some more (and better explained!!) info on it!

i've just checked the DCL website again and still no room i think there's 5 of us waiting for assignments so as soon as someone gets theirs, they'll have to post so we can all go and rush the DCL website!! i was looking at all the other september meet threads and if its going on the same timeframe, i'm hoping we should know within a week.

welcome back tom, havent heard from you in ages!

donna, good luck for the AKV club level waitlist. we stayed club level last year (not DVC though) and it was soooooo nice. i wish we could get it again. thats why if we ever end up buying DVC we'll buy at AKV so we can book at the 11 month point.

lainey, good luck with the house moving, and in a month (tomorrow) you'll be getting married!! hope your dad is ok, i saw your mum's facebook status this morning, say hi from all of us!




the deadline for the FE is looming, i think we kinda agreed on the 24th didnt we? so if anyone isnt already in and wants in, let me know asap.
thanks

Still no stateroom number. But I only checked once today, i'm weening myself!!

Hey everybody! No room assignments yet? What is DCL thinking? Don't they know you've been checking every hour on the hour? I'd probably be doing the same thing if booked GTY too. I hope some of you end up near me! Lainey and I are both on deck 7.

Well, they cashed my check for my passport so that's a good sign right?

 

[karentan]

i was thinking about the way they assign rooms, and for people on linked reservation cat 12s i think they try and keep them semi close to each other. so as mine, jennys, laineys ans marys reservations are all linked, i wouldnt be surprised if we all end up on deck 7!!

but i am getting very bored with keeping checking at the mo, i think last year i got an assignment at about 32-35 days out. the wait is killing me at the mo!!

hows work going jenny? keeping you busy? its very quiet on here during the day recently!

 

[jenny105]

We were very busy yesterday. This morning I had a meeting as soon as I walked in the door. That didn't let out til around 11:30, had someone at my desk til nearly 12:30, and now it's pretty quiet. Waiting for lunchtime!

 

[karentan]

you should call disney and tell them off for not assigning rooms quicker!!

 

[m_kasch]

I second that!! What is taking them so long?!? At least you are only waiting on the stateroom Karen...i'm also waiting on my CPA score!! Between the two things, I can hardly concentrate.

 

[jenny105]

Ok guys, what if I call them up and I'm like "Hi, this is Jennifer calling from AAA. My friends wanna know what the deal is, they need their cabin assignments and they need them NOW! Let me talk to the mouse!"

 

[karentan]

yeah, demand to talk to mickey!!!!!!!!!! and dont let them fob off you off to his assistant goofy!

 

[m_kasch]

Good Idea!! Maybe Mickey can upgrade Karen & I to the Walt Disney suite -- we can even share!!

 

[jenny105]

I wonder what they would say if someone demanded to talk to Mickey Mouse.

 

[jenny105]

I got my complete itinerary for Universal, what restaurants we'll be eating at, etc. There is an optional "social gathering" at Rising Star, the karaoke bar in CityWalk. That place is awesome but it'll take a few drinks for me to get up there!

 

[karentan]

lol, i dont do kareoke. i have to be VERY drunk to even think about it!

mary i dont mind sharing if we got the suite!!

 

[karentan]

hey just noticed i'm now over 3000 posts!!!!

 

[Dr.Girlfriend]

Guys, how big are your fish extender holders? I have an idea of what I want to make, but am nervous it's going to big on the "big" side...and don't want it to not fit in there.

I keep checking for my room number, too...nothing yet! Maybe someone could call and poke DCL...

 

[karentan]

i'm not 100% sure if the gift bags i've made will fit in the pockets either. i think i'll take a few carrier bags just in case. that way if the gifts dont fit in, i can hang the bag off the fish iteslf.

 

[karentan]

poke DCL...

that sounds ominous!!!

 

[jenny105]

I don't think my FEs will fit into the pockets either unless I really jam them in there. I'm planning on hooking it off the fish.

 

[karentan]

lol, sounds like we're all making oversized FE gifts!!
maybe we should change the name from fish extender to fish buckets!
