, we were only able to book dinner. I check back periodically, but no luck yet. Will have to head down to Rockin' Bar D.
Considering we booked over a year ago that is a short amount of time.
), but we have brunch on Sunday and then dinner on Tuesday. I still have a reservation for Monday dinner that we will not be using if anyone is interested. Even though we are CC members and booked right at 90 days, there was only one brunch option open.
Hey Wendy - boarding still starts anywhere between 11:30 and noon, usually around 11:45 or so. When you enter the terminal, they will give you a boarding number. #1 is for concierge, so the lowest number you can get is #2. That being said, if you get #2 to #5, you'll be onboard within the first 15 minutes. When we sailed last, we got lucky enough to get #2, but by the time they announced #2 and we gathered our stuff, they were already calling #3. So, it happens pretty quickly, that's why I say #2 - 5, is pretty good.
I do have photos memorized--those that have posted anyway! But not everyone has posted them...C'mon slackers--we want to see you!
I just reserved our town car this week. Who are you going with? (We did Tiffany.) What hotel are you being picked up from? I thought it was strange when I did the online reservation, for after the cruise, it asked what time our flight left and it apparently scheduled a pickup time based on that. Our flight leaves at 1:15 PM, so the confirmation says they will pick up at 10:45 AM. I don't think so. Not that I'll be in a rush to get off the boat or anything, but I know we can't stay on that long. I'll have to call and reschedule for 8 or 8:30. I think that sounds like a good time, but I'm not sure.
I knew it! So you should know everyone that's posted then, right? As for those who haven't, please don't be shy. We won't stalk you on the boat, I promise. 
If she knew it's only weeks before she will see the Princesses, she would flip. 
Our Palo dinner is also for Wednesday, but I didn't realize that it was Pirate night. I think that I'm going to try to move it to Tuesday night, if possible.Our Palo dinner is Wed. night at 6pm. I'll probably have to move it though. We're doing the dune buggy excursion, plus it's pirate night - and I don't want to miss it. For now, I'm holding on to it, and will decide a week or so before we leave which night I'd rather do. Decisions, decisions!! I told DH I need a commission for planning this entire trip.
We booked back in the fall of '05, so it's been a LONG time for us. But, since we had a cruise in between there, I have had the chance to fill the DCL bug. But, I'm really looking forward to 7 long days on the ship.
You're kinda lucky though, because my girls know and they keep asking "When are we going on the Mickey boat???" And, I'm having a bit of a problem with my youngest DD. She's potty-trained now, but she's having difficulty (mostly because she's stubborn) with getting her clothes off/on. The rest of it she has down pat. I just don't know what to do with her. I've got one month, and I'm hoping, but I'm definitely getting frustrated.DD is unaware of the trip. Every so often, if she's repeating a bad behavior, I tell her I'm going to call Cinderella & tell her she can't come see her some day, since she's not listening to her mom. Works every time.
How did you do it?!?!?! I would have been bursting with excitement! And Emily doesn't know yet either? I thought I remember reading someone had kept it a secret but that was before I became a stalker and got to know everyone a bit better. Our boys are so excited! We have to watch the planning DVD almost every night before bed so they can see the Mickey pool/slide and the OC. I threaten that bad behavior will result in no Disney cruise, too. (Am I a bad mommy?) I find myself saying over and over "Are you going to do this on the Disney cruise?" "No." "Then don't do it at home!"

:
we are going to try and change days since I am making my son where his halloween costume (he was a pirate this year). 
Actually, someone said that the most recent Navigators have a different rotation because they stayed in Cozumel until midnight, so they switched Pirate night.Curlybop,
According the most recent western navigator I've been able to find:

I believe that pirate night is Tuesday night. So you might be okay with your Palo Reservation.
Unlike me who booked for Palo Tuesday
This will be our third disney cruise and have yet to eat at Palo.
What do I owe to be included in this group...
More photos!!! I love seeing everyone & their families. Hmmmmm.....oh well. Not gonna sweat it. I just know we'll probably be rebooking onboard, so we might get around to Palo dinner then, if I can't make it work this time around. "Let's get going & fix it right...." He was so thrilled at Christmas. I figure to keep my sanity from now until the trip, we'll just keep it quiet around Emily. Otherwise every day, multiple times a day, she'll be asking about it. We've watched the DVD before, and she exclaimed "I want to go there!!!!" I said "maybe someday honey" We made a chart & put stickers on there when she did really well. If she didn't, I drew a sad face. If she got a week of stickers, we'd go get a "prize" which usually consisted of a trip to the Dollar Tree - but it helped motivate her, and she didn't care how much it cost! As she started getting better, we cut out the weekly prizes and went for the "big guns" Like a trip to the movies, Chuck E. Cheese, or something that was a big deal to her. Hope she'll do better for you by cruise time!! Come join us - be a thread stalker. It's fun.
What do I owe to be included in this group...
Our kids might be together sometime in OC!Over dinner DH & I were talking about the Palo stuff. Still undecided.....Tues. is DD's birthday, so we're definitely not doing Palo that night. Wed. is pirate night. Friday is out, due to being the last night, I'd like to spend it in the dining room. I'm hoping/wishing to get Palo brunch on one of the sea days, and I'm not booking dinner there again that night!
Val, it was NOT easy keeping a secret. We had talked about doing DCL for quite a while, so I just did it, made payments, then told DH.
Laura, What do you owe? Are you kidding?
We're already planning to rebook on board, too! 
I seriously think about it all day (can't you tell?) I can't wait to meet everyone!Hmmmm...What do you owe...(hey guys, we could make this interesting!) Just kidding. Owe nothing.
I seriously think about it all day (can't you tell?) I can't wait to meet everyone!
Phone rings, problems come up, I think about the cruise. People keep coming in my office asking stupid questions, I think about the cruise. Come home have to cook a quick meal, clean up, etc., I think about the cruise (and the fact I won't have to do any of this for one solid week).
