Anyone else get their docs in the past two days, it's been quiet here on the 8-23 thread, we were down to page 3 in the forum, what gives???

Thanks Travis, quiz 4 was much easier and DisneyNutMary scored a 100, way to go Mary!!! I did much better myself and I'm still using my fictitious name, this much I will share, I scored a 90 on quiz 4.

Hi All,

No cruise docs here yet (booked thru DVC). I am waiting impatiently. I did not book any excursions. I just plan to do the fun package in CC. I figured I had time to book that.

I have two suitcases already packed......I am sure I will have to unpack, iron and repack but I couldn't wait to start packing. My kids think I am crazy, they do not even want to talk about the vacation anymore. Only my nephew will talk about it with me because he has never taken a trip before and is excited. My kids don't realize how exciting this is. I am sure when they see that huge ship they will go nuts. I remember my first cruise as a teenager and I was just so amazed at the size and glamour of the cruise ship (Celebrity line).

Anyway, lets hope our documents come tomorrow.

I know what you talking about Trish. I mention the cruise around my soon to be 13 year old, and she rolls her eyes up in her head. Then she usually says, "You and that cruise, that's all you think about."

Well, since this is going to be our only vacation this year due to Hazel's hip replacement surgery this past February, you better believe I'm going to be talking about it!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

Well Gang, we are under the 30 Day Mark, just 29 more Days To Go!!!

 

[aa4mom]

here's a question- does disney mail documents on just one day a week, say mon? so here we all are going crazy(at least I am) and the poor UPS man is getting accosted for nothing? Just trying to make sense of the fact that a bunch of people got docs last week and no one else has received anything!

 

[lisak1]

It's been crazy at work these past couple days, but i wanted to pop in and say hi.

I can't believe some still don't have docs yet!

All I have left to do is pack.... and i won't let myself start that yet!

 

[mostyn17]

26 Days for us!! I can't believe how fast this is going!
Disney World Here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.s....I started packing some yesterday!!!!!! hahahahaha

Travis

Can't wait to meet some of you on the cruise!

 

[lisak1]

I'm not sure about how DCL mails the docs out, but some people from the 8-30-03 cruise got their docs yesterday.

Funny you should say that. My DH and kids think I am a total lunatic because I am sooooo excited to be going on the cruise and all I want to do is shop for things on my check list and talk about it. I said, "you guys just don't get how much fun you're going to have on this cruise" and all my 6 y/o DS can say is.....do they have cartoon network?

 

[lisak1]

same with kyle... "do they have a tv in the room? i can't wait to watch the tv in the room!"

 

[aa4mom]

i feel like i am in limbo- no cruise doc's yet. i cant start packing because dds are both going to camp next week and I have to pack for that. cant pack my or dh stuff cause we have to go to a family thing that requires dressing. UGH!!

 

[DisneyNutMary]

Is it possible DCL mails out the docs to the people who booked directly with DCL first, then to DVC and travel agents later? It seems to me that none of the DVCers got their docs yet.

It is officially below 30 days, so I can get myself set up to start packing now. I don't want to rush it, I just want to lay out what I have already and see what I still need to get. ANd I need to figure out exactly how many suitcases we are taking.

And speaking of tv, I plan to have my kids unplugged that week. They spend way too much time in front of the tv and video games, I plan on telling them that the tv only gets "cruise-related" channels, and no real programs.

My DW called DVC again this morning while I was at work, yes people, I do work(sometimes). Anywho, my DW was told that our docs still "HAVE NOT" gone out, and probably won't for another week or two. What gives??? Some on our cruise have had their docs for nearly 2 weeks, and some from the 8-30-03 cruise have started receiving their docs.

 

[Verandah Man]

Well Gang, we are now down to the last 4 weeks, can you believe it, it won't be long now. Just one more thing is needed to make me completely happy, MY DOCS!!!
