My voucher is still here with me....this is the regular full price statement....but I'm sure they will send me some more Mickey mail once I send my voucher in!

 

[anetnmike]

oooo! I'm gonna get Mickey mail soon! thanx Sue!
better go to work now or nobody is going anywhere!
ttfn!

Can I mail that voucher in any time, or do I have to wait until the date listed on it?

 

[disneydarling07]

we have to call back on April 6th to let them know we have the voucher and give them the number so they change the price.
Then we mail it in.
This is what I was told when we booked.
Hang on to the voucher until the actual date. Call them on the 6th and see what they say...this is what I plan on doing.

Interesting, I was told to mail it in right away. I did but I haven't seen my pricing change yet on my cruise. Maybe that will happen after the 6'th
I did keep a copy just in case

 

[Alice_on_WONDERland]

Ok, I'll hold on to it - thanks!

So here in Chicago....we are having gorgeous weather.....just makes you in the mood for vacation!!! Unfortunately we have over 200 days still....Uggghhh!

Hi friends -

Have any of you ever upgraded at port? Or even asked about the cost to upgrade?

Hi friends -

I would like to know too. Since this vacation is soooooo on the cheap side, I'm really tempted to upgrade at port.

The category 11 was fine, but I think I will prepare myself before my trip and lock myself in my closet for about a week so I'm use to the confined space.

My TA told me to put the new reservation number on the voucher and mail it into DCL now. I have not done it yet I am going to mail it certified because it makes me a little nervous to just mail it off and not know for sure if it has been received. I am also going to make a copy before I mail it.
April 6 is jsut around the corner...
I want to try to upgrade at the port too. It does make me a little nervous that DCL has already told my TA that they won't allow upgrades with the vouchers. Disney has never EVER had a problem taking MORE of my money before-and believe me I have happliy handed over plenty of it over the years.
Save me a verandah cabin!

 

[ljm23]

I think they won't allow upgrades at reservation time but there's no way they won't allow you to upgrade at port. You'd be paying the same for the upgrade as the next guy in line so it won't make any difference to DCL, go for it, I know I will!

 

[anetnmike]

You know I will too!!! I'll stand right behind you in line,Laura,and take the cabin you just gave up!

 

[Alice_on_WONDERland]

Hey everybody!

I posted earlier about upgrading at the port...and then I was lying in bed this morning thinking about it all and came up with this wonderful idea:

Rather than spend extra money just to upgrade to a cabin with a veranda I will only be able to enjoy for three days, why not spend that money on the 4 day right before it! That's right - a Back-2-Back!

I priced it out this morning and it's totally do-able. So I talked to DH about it and he said he'd think about it! (When DH says he'll "think about it" that's a good sign! ...he didn't say NO afterall... )

So this is my new obsession - figuring out how these Back-2-Backs work, and how I can convince my DH to do it!

 

[disneydarling07]

I'm still trying to figure out how to add a few days to our trip so I can sneak in a trip to the parks!

236 days......

 

[anetnmike]

oooo! Alice! I like your idea! I think it is brilliant! DH and I cannot take xtra time off or we would be right behind you.

Looking forward to see all of you onboard.

We had fun at Atlantis and I want to show my sister the casino, hotel and the grounds. I don't plan on spending as much time off the ship as we did on the four night.

Category 9 for us this time. Last trip we were upgraded from a 12 to a 10. Who knows maybe they will upgrade us for free again, one can only hope.

Late dining for us, love it!

Yacht Club after for 8 nights, 1 1/2 day at the EarMarked Conference.

 

[Alice_on_WONDERland]

Kutchyone! I see you're from Ohio...so are we! We're up in the northwest corner near Toledo. Small world, huh? We're so glad to have you "onboard" with us! It will be nice getting to know you over the next several months.

Twinsburg, between Cleveland and Akron. Nice little community world known for the annual Twins Day Festival, stop in and see us in August!

Any change the originator of this thread can update the first message to include any DIS meets? I would enjoy seeing some of you.

So much to do today so little time, cany someone help me out here so I don't have to search for it? Do they have martini tastings on the 3 night cruise? If so can those be pre-booked on-line or do they have to be done onboard and where onboard do you book?

Where is your first choice location for the sail away party? No kids so we really like deck 10, starboard on the rail looking down at the stage. Once we are on the move we head forward for a better view!

Thanks.

Hello again!

world known for the annual Twins Day Festival, stop in and see us in August!

I have TWO sets of twins in my family! Don't know if they've ever been to the Twin's Day Festival though... I really want to head your way this summer for the Vintage Ohio Wine Festival. Have you ever done that?

Any change the originator of this thread can update the first message to include any DIS meets? I would enjoy seeing some of you.

There has been talk of one or two Dis Meets, but nothing is official yet. We've talked about meeting up by the Goofy pool on embarkation day...

So much to do today so little time, cany someone help me out here so I don't have to search for it? Do they have martini tastings on the 3 night cruise? If so can those be pre-booked on-line or do they have to be done onboard and where onboard do you book?

I'm pretty sure they do the martini tastings, but I don't think you can pre-book... I've never done this before, although I would really like to! This may be a question for the main forum.

On our 4 day we spent a little time up on deck 10, then DS decided he wanted to be right down there in the action, so we went down to deck 9. Then we decided to take a break from all the commotion and headed down to the "secret" deck 7 aft overlook. We really liked it back there, we nearly had thw whole deck to ourselves!
