DVCer's....the proposed point chart for the new Hawaii resort is posted. All you lucky owners are going to love it!!!!

http://advc.disney.go.com/media/dvc...intsChart_DisneyVacationClub_AulaniVillas.pdf

Well I have enough points for a week in a studio ocean view in any season, too bad you'll never be able to get a room at the 7 month window LOL. I don't have enough for a week in a 1 bedroom in any season though. The taxes is interesting, let me know if you see a thread on that, I haven't had time to check the DVC boards lately.

Thanks for the update. Interesting that there is state tax for accommodations when using points (I'm sure that is covered elsewhere here on the DIS under the appropriate topic....) Anyway... a stay there is on our DVC "to-do" list

Harry, this is on our "to-do" list too!!

Hey Everyone -

Haven't been on this board in a while. I have been concentrating on our upcoming Disney Mediterranean cruise which is almost a month away. After two years of planning, I can't believe it is almost here. When it is over though, I will have this cruise to look forward too

Just got a little caught up on here. Love the lanyard idea! Count us in!

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer so far

Now I will never want to leave my kids room! Maybe I'll give them the balcony so I can have this LOL. I can just see us fighting over the inside cabin!

It was definitely sad in parts! and a great movie!

We are all ready to go....I know I am happy that the vacation is starting but sad in some ways since it will mean that it is over that much sooner!!!

 

[uncw89]

The summer is going by quickly! I know you all just got out. We've been out a few weeks, but it is zipping on by! We are going on RCL Freedom of the Seas in 3 weeks, and it will be here before we know it ! YAY!!!
Have fun on your trip!

Well we have decided to join Wendy in coming over to this thread, rather than keep a parallel thread any longer....The Turkey Day Gang has 8-10 families from the 2009 Thanksgiving cruise who will be on this one and some of us have cruised together multiple times over the past several years...Wendy (and family) will be joining us this year on the 2010 Turkey Day Wonder for instance...

That said, if someone would please supply us with the website info, it would be appreciated. We are DH Chuck, DW Lisa and DS Mason (11) at time of cruise.

WELCOME CHUCK, LISA and MASON!!!!! and the rest of THE TURKEY DAY GANG!!!!!

You guys from the other "parallel thread" will fit right in...there are several groups of cruisers that have now formed a bigger and better thread here. We have lost a few very nice people that have wondered off to other threads. We hope they will return.

Jen Anderson has put together a very good website for us: http://web.me.com/jenbanderson/DreamCruise/Welcome.html

Hey all,

I am very sorry to say that we had to cancel this cruise. I am so going to miss the Parrothead reunion but the cruise didn't fit into our schedule. Never know things may change (fingers crossed) but we did book the MR cruise in March. We have been wanting to go back to LA and drive the coast and do DL so we thought this all worked into what we wanted to do.

I will miss you guys and deck 9 though.

Gina

Sorry you won't be joining our group. I hope you enjoy your cruise in March!

Hi everyone. It has been a while so I thought I would check in. Just read through what I missed.

Jen - I remember the lanyard's being $2

Talk to you soon - Janeanne

Hello Janeanne!

You are correct...the lanyards were $2. This morning I pulled our old website files up and looked through it. We had to order in increments of 100 and they were $2.00 each.

Hello! How are all your plans coming for the Med cruise? Is your FE organized? I can't believe how fast the time is passing!

Has anyone else seen this regarding the virtual port holes??!!!

http://www.facebook-disneycruiseline.com/photos/PortholeSneak.jpg

Hello Jude! I saw the virtual port hole stuff on facebook too. I am hoping it makes our inside staterooms seem better because in many ways, I am sad about not having a balcony on this trip. However, I think having 2 staterooms was totally the way to go.

Hello Chuck! Welcome to our thread!

I will get you the information this morning for the website as well as add your family to the list.

Hopefully the other families from your thread will join us here too! It is great to get to know everyone.

I will be sending out a PM this morning. Plus, I have been working on some new parts and updates so I hope to upload the improvements to the website later tonight.

 

[jenanderson]

Since I was searching through old files, I came across the photos of the lanyards and will post one here.

Since it sounded like people were interested in possibly ordering them for this cruise, I will add a page to our website with all the lanyard order information. If we get enough interest, I will help take care of the ordering.

 

[ICEMANPAD]

Lisa will have to post our cabin number - I do not recall what it is other than it is a veranda.

We will be late seating, and we will have a link with the other Turkey Day Gang families....and anyone else who wants to join us...we have had dinner links of up to 28 cabins in the past so almost anything is possible.

Also please add us to the FE list...Lisa will have to comment on lanyards b/c she and Mason may use them, but I do not.

Chuck

 

[ICEMANPAD]

OK cabin is 7586...for now...we have a tendency to upgrade if/when Florida resident rates come out closer to cruise date.

Hey Jen -

Yes! Our FE is organized for our Med trip. Thank you for all your help and advice! It is a small manageable group and I actually closed out participation yesterday. My FE arrived from ebay a couple weeks ago - love it! It is a Disney Star Wars theme - our boys looooove Star Wars.

Our plans are coming along great for the trip. I can't believe it is almost a month away! WOO HOO!

Love the pic of the lanyards - I think that is a great idea. We will be interested in participating if the group decides to do it.

Love the lanyards, and I like that they are black it really makes the printing stand out. We're in if you order them at least 3 of us are, I don't think my husband would wear one.
