April 29, 2012 ~ Aloha! ~ Inagural Wonder to Hawaii-Part 3

[Happy Goofy]

Hope everyone gets what they want for excursions and dining. Save some for us gold people and we will save some for silver.

Palo brunches are only done on sea days, so there will be 9 days of brunch! Yay!

I knew that about the sea days, but somehow, I just don't think there will be 9 of them.
I am wrong a lot, so this could be another time.
Hope you are right.

We are also silver and after looking at all the offers we don't have much to choose from to begin with for wheelchair accessibility so I am not holding much hope we will get to book anything by the end of January. Thirty days is a long time until they allow silver to book. I can't believe the Disney has actually done worse than Holland America...they had more that took folding wheelchairs. But seeing some things we wouldn't mind seeing I will now see what I can do on my own contacting local tour companies. First to find a website that tells me which ones are not good to use .

Anyone know anything about this organization Southern California Gray Line - Disneyland Resort Express- One Way Airport Transportation- Anaheim Resort Hotels to/from LAX? They can transport 3 adults and 1 child for a cost of $64.50. Additionally is there any organization selling discounted tickets to DL for only 1 day? We are coming in late Friday evening and only going to have 1 day for DL.

Have some questions and hoping somebody on here can help me out.
Does anyone know if they do the port check in time on line for the west coast like they do on the east coast ?

For people that are rooming together or have in the past...........how do you book on line for your excursions ? Do you both go on line ? One person books for both ? I am confused on how this works out. Aslo linked with another cabin.

I am really excited about this cruise. Hope everything goes smooth tonight and everyone is able to book what they want.

PIF over here too!!! WOO HOO!!

Congrats!

I had serious intention to start using treadmill...well now I'm stuck on crutches and wheelchair for 2 months, which will probably only add pounds..

Will you be able to use a stationary bike by this time? If so, you can plan some time in the exercise room - that is where we will be as our knees do not like distance walking/running.

We too are PIF....and I will be at my computer comes the stroke of midnight tomorrow....I have my list of excursions/Palo that I would like along with a game plan for the booking order....I hope everyone gets the excursions, Palo and Spa reservations they want.....I still can't believe I am going to Hawaii....another item checked off my bucket list!!!!!!!!

I am hoping that the number of sea days will make the Palo brunch reservations not an issue.

Right now doc said no weight bearing. We will see if there will be any changes on 11th when I have check up. I really hope they will let me use my leg at least a little, like light exercising...

 

[Lexa]

I need to book a hotel, probably around LAX airport for two days after cruise.....any suggestions?

 

[TDC Nala]

For people that are rooming together or have in the past...........how do you book on line for your excursions ? Do you both go on line ? One person books for both ?

Trying to remember if one person can book for both as we've done it before. It's an issue as my roommate is platinum and we aren't sure if she can book excursions for me that are different from the ones she is going on. I think it can be done since we are in the same stateroom but we can't remember. We should have no problems booking excursions that both of us are going on.

Thanks. The lead reservation is in my roomates name and she is platinum and I am gold. It shows on my reservation that I can book tonight. We might be doing different things in one port. Just wasn't sure which would be the best way to do this. I was also wondering if we could both be on line the same time. Hoping everything goes smooth tonight.

Yes, they do the port check in time on the west coast as well or at least they did for our October MR cruise.

As two booking excursions, you should both be able to log in as long as you don't do so at the same time as this would lock both of you out. I assume that this would work the same as a family sharing the room. You can book when the highest level Castaway Club member can book and you can either book for both or just one of the people. DH and I usually do separate excursions once a cruise and I have not had any problems booking one excursion for him and another one for me.

I went through Hotwire and got the Embassy Suites South for $97.90 a night. That includes the taxes and stuff. The hotel looks super nice!

Happy New Year Everyone

Hello all ...

Just popping in to say Hi and a very Happy New Year to all. I am happy to see 2011 over with. It has been a trying year. Had to go to 5 funerals and bury my poor Budde the Bichon this year. 2012 has got to be better.

I won't be pif until next week. Asked Disney for a week extension due to banking hours over the holidays and delays in getting my bonds to cashed. Being a mere gold, means I need to wait until Jan 14 to book excursions.

I hope to get more involved in the new year on the boards. I'm still planning the Secret Mickey and will send out more information soon. You can sign up on the spreadsheet.

Jon ... congrats on keeping it a secret with Candida. Now that she knows, it would be great to have a southern Ontario meet. Limeridge Mall sounds good, as it is between Niagara Falls and London (Hi Katypop! I'm from Waterloo) and there is a Disneystore there too!!!

Anyhow ... I hope everyone has a great night on Saturday.



A toast to a great year ahead!

 

[BoosGram]

Congrats to all the PIFs. It makes it a little bit more real.

I just PIF as well. We have the plane tickets booked and are planning on 3 nights at DL beforehand. I am thinking Disney tansfers might be the easiest as we are heading straight to the airport on the way home. Any other recommendations? Also, do they do onboard airline check in on the West Coast like they do in Florida.

Palo brunches are only done on sea days, so there will be 9 days of brunch! Yay!

In the Baltic we ate brunch on each of the 4 sea days (decadent I know). They also offered brunch on one of the days we didn't arrive in port until noon (Germany if I remember correctly). I bet they do brunch on every one of the sea days.

She can book excursions for both of you if you're going on the same excursion. I had to wait to book my linkees on an excursion they were doing but I wasn't. I think you could work around that by booking the platinum on it also, and then canceling her off like the week before the cruise.

On the TA, I also successfully booked Palo for my room and my pif linkees.
