HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL YOU DADS OUT THERE

Sorry Cher, I had you written down on the Palo Brunch list, I was using my memory for how many were in the Group #2 count, that was a bad thing to do!!! There is room for two more adults for the Group #2 Palo Brunch list.

Dizzyworld, Welcome abord the 8/21 cruise thread.
My kids are about the same age as yours. My DD, Kristin, has been e-mailing some of the other girls and would love to get to know Allison. If you think she would be interested, please PM her e-mail address.
Once again, welcome aboard.

I'm torn!! I want the cruise to hurry up and get here, but I dont want to wish away the summer, my favorite time of the year.

So I say, 60 days, hurry up, but take your time!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

Time to get those excursions in!!!

Hurry up and wait, that's my motto Mike!!! LOL!!!

 

[Marcotta]

Has there been any decision regarding a Dis group excursion? Sarah mentioned the stingray excursion from last August that ended up being a group of probably 85% Dis Board members - we had a blast.

Anything like that this time around or will everybody be doing there own thing?

Forgive me if this has already been discussed and I'm missing a few days - I'm trying hard as I can to work and keep up with the Dis. Priorities, priorities....sheesh!!!

I was thinking the same thing this morning Mike! That once the cruise is over with so is the summer season. That means baseball goes along with it too! (Maybe the Yankees WON'T be in the World Series this year for a change.)

I'm all ready here for an EARLY wake-up tomorrow morning to get those excursions... sometimes being on the West Coast has its disadvantages (5 AM wake-up).

I was just thinking the same thing. I want the cruise to get here but just hate it that summer will be over then. We return to school the Monday following the cruise end. How depressing will that make getting off the ship!

If we are not ready to book our shore excursions tomorrow, will we have a hard time getting the beach ones? I still don't know what we want to do! Thanks!

Haha, same boat here, I start classes for fall the Monday after. That'll make the flight back to LAX seem about as quick as the car ride to the dentist's office when I was a child.

I know the Passporter mentions that the 5-star goes fast, but I think that's the only mention of popularity for any of them. You could probably ask the phone rep, and they may shed some light on that. I'm wondering if they can let you book multiple and then decide later; Shelby wants to do the 5-star but the eco-hike sounds cool for me. I will be asking tomorrow morning.

Marcotta: Got a packet of information to mail to you from our TA.

Did someone say school?! Our summer program for incoming undergrads started today and our new curriculum starts August 9. We're running around like crazy over here!! I'm hoping it will be a bit more relaxed in a couple of weeks. DD started summer day camp today. I wish I had her summer day camp growing up!! They get to go to neat-o places like San Diego Zoo, Legoland, and Knotts Berry Farm!!

We're planning to "wing it" for our excursions. We have a car reservation in San Juan and plan to drive to El Yunque. I talked to the Visitor's Center and they said that they have organized tours that we can join (on a first come basis). This will hopefully give us more time to wander around Old San Juan in the afternoon. DH is leaning towards one of the snorkeling excursions in St Thomas. I'm hoping that he can go with some DIS folks so I won't have to go - snorkeling is just not for me! So, what are you all signing up for?!

 

[Verandah Man]

O.K., now that we are at our two month mark, is everyone agreed to a

after the safety drill in the Promenade Lounge on Deck 3? I think an inside

is best, because you never know what the Florida weather is going to be like in August.

 

[disney3144]

I know this is a stupid question to ask......but does anyone have a copy of the itinerary. I want to see how long we are at each port. I just can't seem to find my copy.

Thanks

Jennifer

 

[disney3144]

Never mind everyone...I found it. I swear I should be a blonde.

I swear I should be a blonde.

We all have days like that! (and I KNOW I could never be a natural blonde)!!!

DIS Meet after the safety drill in the Promenade Lounge on Deck 3

Got my vote! Can't wait!!

 

[Gayle17]

The meet after the safety drilll is fine here.

DIS meet time and place is fine with me. As far as excursions, I don't think we are planning any. We will go to Megans Bay and shop in St. Thomas, and do a short walking tour of Old San Juan and the fort.

 

[Verandah Man]

I just got my excursions called in for our cruise. The only thing we finally decided on was BBR 2:30pm at CC for Angelina and myself, and a float rental for Hazel at CC. We plan on doing some other things on our own at St. Thomas and San Juan.

I hope everyone gets the excursions they wanted.

Have a MAGICal day, 60 days and counting!!!

 

[denise5374]

Hi All! I have been gone for a couple of days and all sorts of things are happening.....59 days!! Yippee!!!!

The DIS meet after the Safety drill is fine with me. Our family will be wearing our really COOL tshirts made by Andy, so we will see some of you at the port. I am so excited to meet you all (and a little nervous )

In St. Thomas we are renting a boat for the day (non-DCL excursion) and going snorkeling. Have no idea in San Juan, we were debating about doing no planned excursion but now I am not so sure. On Castraway Cay I am just going to sit on the beach and RELAX!!

Hope everyone is having a WONDERful summer so far!!!!

We got our excursions booked OK this morning and got a fax confirmation. We'll do the 5 Star Snorkel in St Thomas and the Rainforest Tour in San Juan.

I also asked whether a cabin had been assigned - we booked a Cat. 10 GTY - never had a GTY before. Right now they have us in 2647 - not an upgrade and at the far aft of deck 2. Not sure how I feel about that... Maybe it'll change again before we sail.

After 5 previous cruises in mid-ship cabins, this one makes me nervous. Plus it's listed on Dave's site as a noisy cabin.

The Meet after the safety drill sounds OK with us.

I know this may be a dumb question. How do I reserver our excursions? I have been to the disney site over the past few days and I can't even look at our reservation. I had to call in our last payment yesterday. I hope it posted.
