August 24, 2014 Dream DVC Member Cruise

Hello everyone,
Can't wait to meet you all. Few more days to go!

Me too!

Me, too. I'm so excited! This is my first Disney cruise! Can't wait to check it off my bucket list!

You may find yourself wanting ANOTHER and yet ANOTHER DCL cruise. Don't be too soon to cross it off your bucket list!

This will be my 10th cruise, and we have 3 more DCL cruises booked!

I do think that meeting other DVC owners, chatting, friendly banter about the best home resort helps make the DVC cruises friendlier. Personally, I suggest reading the navigator that you get when you board and then those that are left on the bed in the evening. Read about the offerings, plan what you would like to do, but be flexible!

Will there be a meet at VWL on Saturday?

 

[Linda Farrell]

I had mentioned having a meet at VWL. I am no longer staying there, not sure if anyone else who is there is interested. My suggestion had been to go to Roaring Fork in the afternoon, when there would be more seating. I won't be there now (we will be at TOTW that night), but maybe some people are interested in meeting at VWL?

I'm looking forward to meeting you at TOTW lounge! That's where we will be, roughly at 9.... Fireworks are at 10

We are staying at BLT, it's a boat ride to VWL, if there was going to be a meet at Roaring Fork around dinner time..5-6, I would be interested if the boats are running. I happen to enjoy the Wilderness salad!

There's a meet at the Villains Party...perhaps, that & TOTW are enough to choose from!

Great, my friend will have a Pirate Party for her birthday!

A little disappointing, guess we will end up canceling our Palo dinner - Pirate night is one of our favorites, DH has a great pirate outfit and I know he wouldn't want to miss it.

If you still want to dine at Palo, go to their desk after you board and see if they have an opening for different night.

Great idea, since there is nothing available at this time online. I always forget you can check when you get on board, guess I just get too catch up in being on board!

We are driving.

For those who want to cancel Palo or Remy dinners, I know there's a set amount of time that you can cancel the shore excursions, or else you lose all of the money even if you don't go. I don't know if something like that happens for dining reservations. Does anyone know?

I'm with a friend for this cruise, but my next cruise is with my DH, and we do have a dining reservation at Palo. So, I would like to know about the charge, just in case we wind up cancelling.

Thanks.

From DisneyCruise.com:

Q: What is Palo, and how do I make a dining reservation there?
A: All 4 ships feature an elegant adults-only restaurant called Palo. Reservations for brunch (available available during Disney 4-Night and longer cruises) and dinner at Palo can be made online in advance of embarkation or after you board the ship. Since seating is limited, advance reservations are recommended. Palo dining is limited to Guests 18 and older. The Palo Dining Option is $25 per Guest for both brunch and dinner.

Dress code: At Palo, dress pants and a shirt are required for men (jacket is optional) and a dress or pantsuit is required for women. Please no jeans, shorts, capri pants, flip-flops or tennis shoes.

Please Note: When Guests have not cancelled a dining reservation at Palo or Remy by 2:00 p.m. on the day of the reservation or do not show to the restaurant to honor their reservation, the reservation is considered confirmed and 100% of the Dining Option is applied to the Guests' folio.

Wow...Y'all have been busy! I had lots of posts to read through! I've been MIA due to summer schedules and traveling. My kids go back to school Monday, so after that, I'll finally have time to work on more cruise stuff.

I'm very excited about our first Disney cruise and I can't wait to meet everyone!

Praying for good weather!!!

 

[Donald & Daisy Duck]

Wish we were going to wdw first so we could meet up with you all....guess we have to wait til we are onboard....getting close now!! We leave in less than two weeks!!

 

[belle26]

Just cancelled our Palo dinner for Monday night, maybe someone could pick it up if interested.

Silly question as we never cruise before. What is pirate night? I meant what are the things that happening on pirate night?
