Just know that some trips are never formally "guaranteed". They don't have a set policy on that.

Sayhello.....our friends were told July 11. We are trying to get the rest of our plans set....That would be 60 days.

I know they can still cancel to the day...but didn't they *used* to tell you at Day 70???

I really was just curious about the three new people...to see if they were on the Boards. Aquamarine Steph was the only one from our first ABD.

I'll do it again!

Yes, they *used* to do it automatically at 70 days. "No cancellations after 70 days, except for dire reasons beyond our control". But that went away a *LONG* time ago. They will, occasionally, using criteria that none of us have been able to decipher, decide that a handful of trips are "guaranteed". But it's only a small subset. Some trips I've been on have never been given a guaranteed status.

So we should make our DLP reservations and hope for the best???? Eek if it cancels!

I'll do it again!

C'mon again! ABD tells me that Natalia and Francesc are our Guides!

Well, I would. But you'll have to decide what you're comfortable with. Since you're doing the Adults Only itinerary in the "shoulder season", it's way more likely to go with 15 people. Unless a lot of people drop out, I think you're pretty safe (at least from my experience in the past). *Usually*, from what I've seen, if they were going to cancel it for lack of people, they would have done it long before now. I would also think the fact that they've assigned Adventure Guides to the trip is a hopeful sign.

What is "shoulder season"????

 

[sayhello]

What is "shoulder season"????

Just before and just after the "high season" which is normally June through August. So, generally, May & Sept are considered "shoulder season" for these kinds of trips (European). Kind of the transition from "Off Season" to "High Season" and "High Season" to "Off Season".

Remember to bring cool clothing! It was very hot in the sun in May! But, there isn't any humidity, so the shade was wonderful!
I want to go back!!!! We head to WDW Friday to visit DD!
