August 16, 2011, Disney Dream - Part 3

[jenanderson]

Went to the Mall of America tonight....spent a bunch and had fun! Everyone got new swimsuits.

Kristin - Tell the girls Emily will call tomorrow. We decided to go to the Mall when Paul finally made it home from the cabin with the repaired van.

Jen & Marsha, I pm'd you both yesterday.

Our family is getting SO excited!

Hello! I will get to our website tomorrow and will reply soon! Couldn't work on it this weekend while we were at the cabin and then today I was at a technology seminar all day. I promise to get you set up tomorrow though.

 

[kritter]

I did get the letter you posted first. The one I posted is the one that was sent to me late today.

Interesting that you got this today. I did not get anything yet. I will let you know if and when I get something. This whole thing is VERY disappointing to me. I am sending an email to concierges right now too!!

 

[kritter]

How did the seminar go Jen?

I find it disguisting that DCL is handling it this way. They did not even bother to answer the question of how they were going to notify guests of this change. Are you going to email them back? What time do you plan on arriving at the port now??

My presentation went really well but I am glad it is over. A couple of schools asked if I would be interested in speaking to their whole staff in the future.

I am not happy with the response from DCL at all. They did not actually respond to anything that I had asked about - like how are they going to let people know and why my time was pushed back so late.

I am actually back to debating if we should stay at the airport and take the transfers. I know it costs a bit more but it sounds like I could potentially be made to wait outside the terminal without even being let in until our new scheduled time. I am wondering if we stay at the airport if we can get the earlier boarding number. I am just so frustrated and confused by this.

That is GREAT news about the presentation!!

I wonder how they will handle the people who are staying at the airport?? I want you to stay with us....LOL!!

Are you going to email DCL back??

 

[kritter]

The problem is I think soo many people are going to be waiting outside lined up waiting to get into the terminal!!

My DD Bri will be in the vibe with you. She will be 15 in Sept.

The first shipment of lanyards was mailed out today. If your money has been received your lanyard is on the way. If you did not get a PM from me with the amount and address let me know.

Jen -interesting letter from DCL. I got the exact same one. Standard answer -disappointing.

Well I think we finally got summer weather here. 90 and hot.

Janeanne

Crap, with all the grad party prep, I forgot to send your check!!! sorry! Can I send it next week?

 

[kritter]

Just checked out to see if there was any room on our cruise this is what the website says::

We apologize, but the vacation dates you've selected are currently sold out. We invite you to check back again later as space may become available; or, if your schedule is flexible, to select another date or destination. Thank you for your interest in Disney Cruise Line.

I want to stay with you guys too. I am just worried that I will go to port and not be allowed to even enter the terminal. I will be the one sitting on the curb with bags all around me - in the hot sun - watching everyone else go in.

I have no clue who they are going to handle all the airport transfers either though and maybe if I go that route they won't let me even get on a bus until later.

Totally confused about what to do with this!

It hasn't yet, it's Saturday .

Thanks Janeanne!

I am so excited to get our lanyards! Thank you again for your work and I can't wit to open the mailbox and find my package from you!

I figured the letter was the standard one they are sending to people because they did not even answer any of the questions I really asked.

I have visions of that too and my poor father sitting out in the hot sun!! That worries me the most.......

I am soo confused about this too. What a sour way for all of us to start off the cruise. We are paying soo much for a Disney Cruise and they are letting us all down with this change!!

I'm especially nervous because we have one person in our party (my boyfriend) on a different reservation, and the rest of his party hasn't filled out their online check-in yet (long story). If we get there by 11 (our check-in time) and they make us wait because he didn't do online check in, I am NOT going to be a happy camper.

I wonder how they are going to handle this too. My parents and I are arriving at the same time and we are concierges and they are not!!

I honestly think it is going to be chaos! Like it is when they start boarding. Probably worse, so I bet they won't even check the arrival times. And yours is so close to 11 it probably won't matter.

Good luck with the party Erika!!

I was just looking at my ticker, and realized that Donald's almost to the front of the ship! One month and 10 days to go it says! (which is right, because I just had to pay off my WDW post-cruise package as the 45 day mark is today!)

I am still coming at 10, unless I get a specific email from dcl informing me of the new port opening time. ( you know I don't even know if I could change if I wanted to as I have a town car booked )

I'm not even checking the dcl website anymore.

I have already printed my online check in with the 10.30 arrival time on it.

In my opinion if dcl wants to change they NEED to email me and inform me of the change.

So when you guys arrive you might find a fried Brit on the pavement

Sorry, I just read that back, hope I don't seem to harsh I'm just so annoyed that they have not 'officially' informed anyone!
