I agree keep checking I did spend an hour and a half on hold with SW tonight!! But I know have a credit of $894.00 so we are going to plan a trip back down in Feb...Anyone, want to join us??

Nice flight credit!! I just got $195.00 credit for our return flight in August....so that was exciting!! We'll be using that for our Feb trip which is booked for the Tree Houses!! Glad to hear your Dad is on his way back home, I hope all goes well. Only 7 more weeks and we'll be in Vero!!

Yes, my son is happy he'll know a few friends before we cruise!! We arrive on the the 10th, Wednesday.....how about you?
Yes, we've stayed in the Tree Houses several times we like the fact that it's just your own unit no one under or above you so you don't have to worry about making noise. Plus they are very roomy and we love cooking outside! Although that trip (17 -24) we might change it to the Beach Club if we can. Laurie

That's a bummer, I wonder when you all will get a room?

Hello all!!
Laura, I hope you get your room assignment soon!!

Maybe they are saving the Walt Suite for you and you will be the Disney special family of the week. Hey ya never know

We got our room assignment. We booked an 11C GTY and we got an 11C cabin, I'm excited about the virtual porthole. We've never done an inside cabin before.

THANKYOU for asking about our room !!!
STILL WAITING FOR ... that Royal Suite !!!!

Seriously though : WE would love to have that VIRTUAL PORTHOLE we paid for !!!!

Hoping we will SOON hear from DCL !!!!!!! laura

[jenanderson]

Aww, darn about the flight thing.....I would keep checking though!!

Please tell Paul Happy Birthday to Paul from us!!

Did you all go out tonight to celebrate??

Keep watching...I got a "DING" today for Orlando for the entire month of August, of course it wasn't good for the weekend, but air travel on our date went from $200 one way to $159...So don't stop checking.

I will keep on checking. SW changes their prices all the time so I just keep on checking. I feel like my morning routine is check SW, check DCL (looking for a canceled cabana, check WDW dining (looking for a canceled 'Ohana)...I will have so much free time in the morning when this is all over!

I ordered the cutest Girl Pirate Costumes for Hanna & Hope from WDW along with the girl Pirate Minnie Ears. Tonight, I ordered Hanna Pirate Minnie Mouse Earings. I took pictures of them in their costumes. Will post them later. They are soo cute!!

Can't wait to see the photo of the girls in their new gear! Finding pirate outfits for my family is on the list of things to do this weekend.

I agree keep checking I did spend an hour and a half on hold with SW tonight!! But I know have a credit of $894.00 so we are going to plan a trip back down in Feb...Anyone, want to join us??

WOW! That is a great credit!

I would love to stay at the tree house some time...it just looks so fun and I do think that grilling out would be fun!

Here is hoping that you find out your room soon and that it is the virtual porthole that you want (unless it is a suite - that would be good too)!

Oh , didn't know !!! Have a wonderful day , PAUL !!!

I will pass on the birthday messages from you and Kristin! We did not do anything at all for his birthday. In fact, it was kind of a cruddy night because of the problems with our vehicle. We are going to go out to celebrate next week to one of the family's favorite restaurants though.

Alright, time to check all the websites and then finish getting ready for work. Happy Friday everyone!

Erika - Maybe we could meet some weekend in Elk River? We often drive up Hwy 10 to go to our cabin.

.

I don't know, that might be awful inconvenient for me, since I live, oh, a whole mile or so from Elk River .

My family of 4 will be on the Aug 16th cruise, we made the plans last year on board our 4 day on the Wonder.

I never checked the seating assignment when we got the itinerary. Man was I mad when I finally realized Disney screwed up and gave us late instead of early. Once I called we could only be wait listed. They said it was my fault for not checking.

Anyone have a early seating that wants late???

Thanks

Steve

We have late seating as well for our family of four (kids are 10 and 5). I thought about it and think that it will work out best for us in the end. From what I understand the counselors come and take the kids part way through dinner for late seating (if they want to go) and that option isn't available for early seating.

I think that the kids will be happier not sitting there for 2hrs and will prefer the kids clubs!

We have late seating too, we've had it on our other two cruises as well! We honestly prefer that late seating We never eat late like that at home but on the cruise it has been perfect! I'm afraid I'd feel rushed to get to the early seating.

Question for you veteran DCL cruisers....

Do you think they will still be showing Cars 2 when we are on board?

I am taking the kids to see it on Sunday and dh is upset he will miss it. I told him he could see it on board but don't want to be proved wrong if it isn't showing!

Pretty much guaranteed. They seem to show them for a few months after they come out. I think we are just going to wait and see it on the ship. Winnie the Pooh should be showing also.

Awesome!

Ds is a Cars freak (we've probably seen the first movie as many times at the Pixar team has!) so we have to see it now, but I'm going to opt for the "regular" version and hold off on seeing it in 3D until we are on the ship!

Re: Pirate Costumes

If you don't want to pack costumes Hot Topic has Pirates in the Carribean t-shirts on clearance, plus it's buy one get one 50% off. Juniors/Adult sizes only. We did this last cruise too and I thought our pictures were just as cute as the full pirate costumes we've done on previous cruises.




Kristin-Good news about your dad! I'm glad he's on his way home
