I think we will be hearing a lot of "Happy Birthdays" being sung in the dining rooms.

 

[JayCee32]

Is everyone working but me? Okay maybe I should do some work then
since no one is chatting on our thread.
Come on people I love this board and can't wait to read what you
have to say.

Rsjj and Carrie - I sent an email to Randi and waiting for her/him to respond
cause i wanted to know if my ds who is 3 if he get's scared to ride the horse,
is it possible if he could ride with me. Do you have an answer to that question.

Did anyone read my message that our ship is sold out Never been
on a disney cruise so I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Not sure if
the ship gets way too crowed where you want to just hang out in your cabin
since everything is too crowed.

Chat with you all soon!!

I'm supposed to be working - but I get side tracked looking through all of these boards sometimes.

This is a link to Alaska Airlines (who I fly all the time, and have actually flown on the other Disney themed plane a few times before). I can only hope that I find myself on this plane soon. I can only hope and pray that it would be the plane that we are flying down on for the cruise in August!!!

I thought it was very cool....

 

[JayCee32]

This is why I love this Board. You find out all sorts of things.
The plane is beautiful...thanks for sharing only1mouse

Alright, Alright, Alright I'll start working and get off the board!!!

JayCee32...i've asked Randi the same question!! and her response was...if our DSs decides that they don't want to ride by themselves, they can ride with us...and we'd have to pay the "transportation fee".

carriep1657...when are you going? i can't wait to hear about your ride! and you have a 4 yo child, right? i think i'm more concerned about our DSs...so please tell us your experiences, when you go!

is everyone excited that we've only got a little bit more to go? almost 4 months! yay!! i can't wait to book our excursions!! have you read that the paradise beach one (in pv)is cancelled...not sure if that was just for that specific date, or for the whole west coast cruise...i knew some of you ( including us!) were interested in that particular one!

 

[starwood]

I was under the impression that there was just one time that was cancelled. I could be wrong.

 

[rsjj]

yes, as far as i've read, it was just for that specific date & time slot...however, people were wondering...i suppose that's how rumors get started, huh? i just hope it's only for that specific date & time, for whatever reason. i haven't heard/read anything from that particular thread...i'll do a search & see...

 

[JayCee32]

Thanks for the update Carrie and RSJJ. Please let me know if the PV beach excursion gets cancelled cause that is something I really want to do. How did you guys find out. I've been on this site and haven't read anything like that. Let's continue to keep everyone updated. Thanks again

rsjj-Great my son can ride with me if he gets too scared to ride by himself.
Which I doubt. What are you going to do after the horse ride?We get back at 2:00 or have you decided if you were going to go. I made Reservations and Randi told me that another family had a 3 year son and I assume it was you . I sent Mazatlan Frank a message asking if he can plan something for us to do. I;ll let you
know what he says and maybe we can go together if your not going back on the ship. But then again we made be exhausted and I should save my energy for the next day in Cabo.

I can't wait for the first bunch to go on the May cruise. I hope they give us a lot of information.

[rsjj]

there was a thread about that excursion being cancelled...but haven't read anything else on it any further...

anyways, yes, i did book with Randi. so that would be us! am really looking forward to this ride! but at the same time, a bit hesitant, because of our little ones. so i'm having "mixed feelings" about it, which is not a good thing!!!!! was there anyone else here that was riding with Randi? if so, we'd have her all to ourselves...all from the magic! hope you won't be too sick of me...chatting & hanging out so often! hmmm....

ok...yes, i can't wait for the first few west coast cruises to be over with, so we can hopefully start reading up on their experiences & observations & what not.

 

[starwood]

Am I correct in reading that if you book with Randi you must pay cash (no credit cards). I looked on the website and it said no credit cards.

 

[rsjj]

yes, it does say cash! and the good thing is, you pay at the end, after your ride. as far as i know. are you in, starwood?

 

[starwood]

Actually I really don't want to carry that much cash with me. I would much prefer being able to charge it. When we go away I usually charge everything then pay for it when we get back. (I also get my Disney Reward Dollars ).

 

[rsjj]

oh, i know what you mean about carrying all that cash! i like to just charge everything, and pay off at the end of the month! makes it so much easier! i hardly have any cash with me, most of the time!

re your reward dollars...have you used it on anything yet? are you planning to take that with you on your cruise? just curious here! i'm thinking about it! what about you?

 

[starwood]

I put $100 on the card which I plan to use at WDW end of this month. The rest DH wants to use to pay our DVC dues in December. I guess that's a good idea but I kind of like the idea of getting something material with it. Either way it's being up to good use.

 

[starwood]

I feel like a Geico commercial. I just saved a bunch of money on MIL's GC ressie. She asked me to make an additional ressie for BIL & SIL because she felt bad they weren't cruising. When I called they said they could put both rooms under a senior discount. Instead of paying $770 for 2 nights she is only paying $563 for 2 nights. I wish I could save money like that.

 

[rsjj]

wow! that is quite a bit of savings!! good for you!!! forgot, were you doing dl before, or after the cruise?

 

[starwood]

2 days before. 8/11-8/13 I just wish I were the one saving the money instead of MIL. I hope she's impressed.

 

[rsjj]

hey, aren't you going to wdw in 2 weeks? were you the one celebrating an anniversary?

 

[starwood]

2 weeks from today but no anniversary. It's our first trip home to Old Key West as DVC owners. I think I'll start packing tonight.

 

[rsjj]

how nice to have a vacation, prior to your vacation! what are your plans while in key west? did you grow up there? have a wonderful time!
