I've been on DCL's website but I can't pull up any information on our cruise, I think because we booked our cruise through Expedia and we don't have a DCL confirmation number.

I learned my lesson, next time I'll book through DCL or DU!!!

But I'd at least like to take a look at the excursions and start booking. How would I do this?

TIA,

Wendy

Wendy, do you have the DCL phone number? They might be able to give you information. There isn't much that your confirmation number would give to you other than date, price and room - all the information about the excursions you can get without that number.

Good luck!

Oh my, 70 pages to read.
We will be on the halloween Magic cruise too.

Me, DH, DS(7), and DGM. Wondering what is planned for trick or treat/halloween party.

DS wants to be a pirate, But since we are from Maine I think a lobster would be cute.

Please let us know so we will be prepared to have fun on halloween with the rest of the Magic cruisers.

TX's.

Getting closer everyday everyone! Are we excited yet? Do we know yet how many to expect for our own DIS TOT'ing? Any word Ginger?
Rae I saw on the other thread that you all are changing your birthday cruise dates?
Looks like it is going to be a fun group of DIS'ers!


martel welcome aboard! I saw that you made you final payment yesterday! Feels good dont it?

Sorry I havent been able to post much lately! I do read te thread but dont really have much time to post! I am looking forward to meeting everyone on this cruise! Maybe, as Rae suggested, we can have a mini meet at the Rad the night before!


Have any of you all ever been to Beaches family resort? I wanted to give this a try and was looking for feedback Well stop being so queit and post you all!

Hi all just back from Ohio, DH didn't win, show or place but we all had one heck of a good time. I gain a few of my lost lbs back, have to really work on getting them off again. Came home to find that our contractor has been working his butt off, as promised we are under roof. Still no doors or windows but we do have a roof. Looking good to have it completed before we go on the cruise.

Give me a few days to get the T-or-T list together and posted. If you have posted to be a T-or-T greeter or if your child(ren) are going to T-or-T please make sure that I have your stateroom number and kids names and ages. Thanks

P.S. It may be best to hold our T-or-T on a SeaDay. I was thinking Thursday, Oct 30, 11-12 a.m. then we could follow that with a group lunch, optional of course.

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking here for ages but not yet posted on this thread. However, I do know all about all of you as I am Rose Greenthumb's (Emma's) Mum.

Ginger, we will definitely hand out for trick or treating. We are in staterooms 7619 and 7621. Not sure which room we will hand out goodies from but from what I remember from T or T last year, I'm sure we will hear you coming and be ready to open the door! Lots of excited laughter; it was great!

Oliver and James are saying that they don't want to T or T but I think Emma probably will join in so can you add her to the list please Ginger.


Did I read that there was going to be a Disboards Palo Brunch on the cruise? If so, when is this planned for? We did this last year and it was great to meet everyone but unfortunately it was the same day as our character breakfast so we felt we didn't really do justice to either! Is there any way to work out what our dining rotation might be ahead of boarding? If so, we could work out the character breakfast day and try to make the brunch.

Rae, thank you for all the encouragement you have given Emma with her writing. She is a little disappointed that there are no other teens posting as last year she made great friends from this. However, I feel as though she will have lots of friends off this thread, regardless of age. Looking forward to meeting you all on the 25th October.

Welcome Martel-luv-wdw and Karen!

Ginger, I agree with you on the TorT day being held on our Sea Day at 11am. Also, our new cabin # is 2110.

I am so excited, I cannot wait for this cruise!!!

Karen, your daughter is talented and the world needs more writers with talent - too many are just word mongers. Plus her maturity will make her fit in very well with any age group.
So glad you decided to post!


You will have our dear friends Paul and Kaye across the hall from you!!!

Michael is still undecided about dressing up for T and T. Feels he is "too old" for it. At least if I can get him in his pirate costume and walk around.......


We had the character breakfast and Palo brunch the same day...no telling what will happen since we are all on different rotations. We chose to sit with the kids and have coffee during the CB, then go to Palo and "pig out"! Beware the shrimp are huge!

Rae,

What day and time were being suggested for Palo Brunch? Was someone making a reservation for all using stateroom numbers or would we each have to make our own? Last year I think Ginger kindly made a group reservation and we had the private room in Palo which was lovely.

Thank you for what you said about Emma. I think she is wonderful but I might be a bit biased!

Hurray!!! Just made the final payment. Talk about waiting until the last minute. Also got good news from my TA. She got us the early seating! We can't wait!

Did I miss your info? If so please PM me with it. Could we get the childrens first names if I don't have them posted?

 

["Ginger"]

Hi Karen I can't beleive that Oliver and James don't want any candy???

Rae please tell Michael that he will be missing out on alot of fun if he doesn't T-or-T.

I would count on at least 24 children, there are still families who have not replied.

 

[KEH]

When you put it like that, Ginger, they are coming round to the idea!! Add them to the list please.

Karen

 

[paulmc80]

Hi Ginger - If you don't have us down yet, could you please put us down for giving out Halloween treats to the trick o' treaters. We do not have any children with to go trick o' treating. Just me, my wife and her mom in room 7620.

Hi Karen - You may have read Rae's post, we are accross the hall from you all. Good to know who your neighbors are.

 

[Rose_Greenthumb]

Wow I seem to have quite a fan club! As my mum said to me before, I'll have to be careful that my head doesn't get too big to fit through the stateroom door! Hmm maybe that wouldn't be so bad if it meant I couldn't get off the ship on disembarkation day...

Rae, you can tell Michael he can stick with me if he wants, we can be oldies together. It seems a shame for him to miss out on TorTing.

I agree with Emma, Michael it would be a shame if you missed out on all the fun and treats.

No problem Karen I thought their sweet tooth would get the best of them LOL.

Thanks Paulmc80.

 

[Poohbush]

ugh, these boards are just creeping tonight!

Carole88, hooray for you on your early seating! I'm keeping my fingers crossed we get it too!

Ginger, thank so much for posting the T&T list. I have a question. There's just a few cabins giving out candy. Should we expect a large group all at once? Sounds like this will go by very fast. I'll probably have DH take Katie for a stroll or something for awhile.

I just ordered her costume tonight. Yep, she's gonna be a KatieBug (ladybug, so cute!)

Tomorrow's our shore excursion booking day! I'm calling 1st thing in the morning. Hope I'm not too late for work!

Rae, I'm surprised to see you even mentioned the shrimp. Sounded like from your last trip you were kind of getting "shrimped out!" (Yeah, like that could happen! )

Evening everyone!
Tina

with our stateroom # and names of my kids.

 

[KaitlinsMom]

OK - I'm back - Haven't posted much 'cause I told myself I would wait until the 60 day mark - But some good news - We are bringing our older 16 year old daughter now - Wasn't sure if it was going to work out with her school - but we have made it work - So if any of you have a 16 year old girl that would like to email each other before the cruise, let me know (pm me) and we could get it set up -

So since she is coming, our stateroom number will change (we are now 4, not 3) so when we make final payment tomorrow, Ginger I will let you know what it is -

We will be giving out candy - that is for sure -

Take Care all,

karen
