August 20, 2005 - L.A. to Port Canaveral - Eastbound Repo Cruise - The SHIP OF FOOLS Part 3

Just found this on the Budget Boards too about the new cards for the Disney Visa.

You can call 888-315-4225 and use the automated system instead of staying on hold to speak to a person.

Here's what I'm thinking....to be fair to everyone, Disney is only releasing a certain amount of reservations for each excursion, Palo and Spa per day mark. If they are, then there still might be spots available for these things when we reach the 90 day mark. At least I hope that's what they're doing. I find it hard to believe that things are really sold out, and that there are that many people that have concierge or the REAS package. I can be wrong, but I hope not. Guess we'll find out on May 22.

I don't know, I think if they were going to save certain numbers for certain groups then they would open it up to everyone on the same day. Rather than letting different groups book 15 days ahead.

I just registerd Lindsay for the kids club. Not sure how much time it will save since she'll still need a wristband and we'll need a pager, but i did it anyway. However they have her birthdate wrong. They have the day before. But when I checked in the reservation section they have the correct birthdate, as well as on my comfirmation statement from DCL. So I'm clueless as to why the have the wrong date for the kids clubs. Anyone else notice this problem.

Thank you to everyone who booked HIGH TEA on FRIDAY, AUGUST 26. I am working with DCL to book the additional spaces we need for that date, but keep booking for as many people as possible if you have the opportunity.

Thanks!

I will try to have Mom book a table when the 90 day mark opens up (May 22nd @ 9:00 am Eastern time)

Hi everyone!

I don't post often but I do alot of reading .

I just wanted to offer a Disney castle kid clips player with the Lion King song "I just can't wait to be King" clip. I was cleaning out my DD's room and she has absolutely no interest in it. I thought it would be a nice addition to a disney cruise basket for any of you parents out there.

This is free of charge with free shipping. I just didn't want to throw it away when there are alot of disney fans here. Its new without the packaging.

First person to email me gets it.


P.S. Just wanted to send my sympathies and pixie dust to all those who have recently needed it. I was very sorry to hear of all the bad news.

For those with lanyards:

I was looking at a site that sells card holders and plastic clips to attach them to lanyards. I have visions of DD losing her card if I attach it to the lanyard with ribbon. The cost was quite reasonable if I order in 100 lots (.05 for the clip and another .20 for the card holder) the site is lanyardsupply.com and the site for the card hold is
http://www.lanyardsupply.com/mh/ik/business-card-badge-holders-bh606-skm.htm

Is anybody intereted?

I checked the measurements of the nametags and they're too big to fit in the holders, although the kttw cards should fit fine. I found the lanyard clips in the kids' crafts section at Michaels, in the aisle where they sell the plastic cording to make the kinds of lanyards you learned in camp. They come in lots of 10 or 20 or so, and are quite inexpensive

Mel, I forwarded an email you originally sent a while back with all the girls' emails to Lighthouseprincess.

Me too - I'm interested in four holders. I got some clips at Walmart for a pretty reasonable price. However, if you need us to pay for both clips and holders that is fine too.

Thanks!

Now we need to pay off the cruise "early" so we can take advantage of the 90 day mark. No problems with the sight so far.

I just ordered a "tote 'N' go" car seat from Leaps and Bounds. It looks interesting. It holds 20-40 pounds and up to 40". It works with either a lap belt or shoulder harness and is only 29.95.

It doesn't look good for FIL. The vascular guy won't operate on his legs because of his heart and liver. He may die on the table. Meanwhile he has very poor circulation in his feet and they are turning blue and feel like walking on glass. We won't know what the next cardiologist says until the 16th.

Can anyone help give me some GOOD information on this. I talked to disney and inquired that if I added the REAS package to my cabins that I could book excursions today, they said NO only Palos and spa. HELP please are all you who are booking excursions concierge level or did I get some miss informed Disney agent???? My DD is freaking out at the thought of getting no snorkeling while away and Im right there with her. I would still consider calling and adding it if I could book today.

Thanks
Pauline

Hi Pauline:

The CM you spoke with at DCL is wrong Pauline....
I sure as heck don't have concierge and was permitted to book the Spa Treatments, Palo AND excursions, plus the kid's clubs.
I know when I tried to book the REAS they initially told me NO I had to have my TA do it. I kept telling them NO I don't, as I had done it last year. The CM eventually acquiesced, booked it for me, and today I had access to my reservation for the above items.
Try again Pauline, and speak to another CM. I think much of this is not only new to us, but to them. The CM I had was having a heckuva time figuring it out, but I didn't get upset, just kept telling her "no problem". If she thanked me once she thanked me 10 times for my patience. You'll get much further with them if you don't get upset or angry. It is frustrating for them and us, but it all worked out eventually

Cheers,
Grumbo

How did you folks who could book Palo now decide on your dinner nights? Any speculation on which nights will be formal, semi-formal, theme nights?
I wonder if we will also have pirate night on Acapulco night since we will still be there and not at sea like the westbounders will?

What do you think?

[winotracy]

Now we're all set for Disneyland in May. Sorry, couldn't help myself!

If you have the REAS, you can book EVERYTHING!

Not much available as far as excursions are concerned! Snorkeling is available still.

I hate to admit this, but Grumbo is correct! They are new to this process and patience is in order!

Good Luck!

I just checked out the pin site...when I first looked I was in a hurry...all of the pins are specific for the May cruise...I'm sure they have a set for us...we just have to wait. But I still don't feel like standing in line !

Well, High Tea was a given. Brunch and Dinner was a crap shoot! They only let you book one of each so hopefully once on board there will be more availability for Dinner or else I'll be at the bar there!LOL

I just went in to register Meagan for the Club as I hadn't bothered the first time.
They ask who has permission to check her out.....
I do the drop down and Everyone from our group's name is listed PLUS Jazzman, Denise and their two daughters I guess because our dining reservations are linked, they figured they could look after Meags too
I guess that answers our concerns Denise about the girl's being a part of the dining ressies I'll still double check on Monday though.

Cheers,
Grumbo

 

[Scratch42]

I booked the REAS yesterday so I could make my ressies today (PLEASE if you see Doris before we board don't mention this to her as it is a surprise)..
Cheers,
Grumbo

How Much is It Worth to You!?!
