[Reenieny18]

I didn't know we could talk that way,,lol

What a great bunch of cruise people we are here.

My husband MARTY wants to start packing today as well. I told him if I had to could be packed in half an hour. He reads the boards with me,, but can't type to save his soul. He is waving now

Jessie I am glad you were able to go back to school and I hope it was with a big smile.

Melanie, I paid our cruise in October when we booked it. Have not received any papers except the guest copy of the cruise info . it has the names, rooms, dinner seating, the times of the Ports and our names and ages. But nothing more ,, yet

Terry: thanks for the count downs,, I like to see the numbers get lower.

Great night here. Kids are in the pool.. I am on the deck,, sun is just setting ... Hmm makes me think of Key West. Ok so I am real excited

have a great night everyone

hey Gang..

Too hot for me to go outside tonight..Phew..Its bad enough Im out working in this soup all day..

Dont forget..Tonight 7:00Pm EST travel channel...DCL Woo HOO

All seasons wouldnt take final payment until tomorrow also..We called 2 months ago, and they were Shocked..hehe

I paid via DVC points last November. All I have is the letter from them confirming my points and $75 exchange fee. I never got anything from DCL itself. I'm assuming it'll come via overnight express the beginning of August!

Reenie--

I think Marty should register a screen name so he can post too! He's got to see how much fun it is when you type on the DIS!


Bobby--

Thanks for the Travel Channel reminder. We'll have to be sure to check it out.


We're down to the 70 day mark here in Florida!

Hi Travis, nice to see you posting

Joanna: I have thought about buying a prescription snorkel mask, I didn't realize they might have them to rent! I have my own gear already (snorkel and mask), and I've needed a good reason to take the plunge and get contact lenses, so maybe this will motivate me to finally get them! LOL

Hi Cindy! I'm so glad that Jessie was feeling well enough to go back to school yesterday

Karel: My sons are finally finished with school too! No more rushing in the morning I think I like the end of school almost as much as the kids do!

Reenie: Tell Marty that we're waving back to him! LOL

Regarding All Seasons Travel: We booked through them too, and I paid it off a while ago. I wonder why they're telling people that they have to wait to pay their balances off???

My DD12, 7th grade finished her full day of school on Tuesday and now has finals 2 hours a day. Her last hour of school is next Friday. My DD8, 3rd grader still has full day of school until next Wednesday and then Thursday is a half day and Friday is one hour.

Then Monday starts camp.

But at least they will be able to sleep later.

 

[DisneyMagicTravis]

Hello again. Yes, it's getting closer, and I'm in need of a vacation!

Reenieny18--
My advice, hmmm, just have fun, relax, do as little or as much as you want. You'll have a blast whatever you do.

I can't wait until Aug. 28 when we can all meet. It's coming pretty quick now.

Karel:

I had the same problem with All Seasons Travel. They don't seem to want to make the payments when I call them in. I have to email and call them back each time I make a payment to find out why it hasn't been posted to my account. I made a payment on 5/19 and on June 5th it still wasn't posted. When I made my final payment on June 3rd, and I questioned why a few days later the payment hadn't been posted the person on the phone told me they were busy, but when I got and email back another person told me it was too early and they were going to wait until the 24th. I insisted that they make the payment that day and they did.

I have had another problem with them that when I call in they don't know how much I owe and they have to call Disney and call me back. Their accounting department stinks and is very unorganized so I am not real happy with this company and will not use them again.

I received my excursion documents this week which was nice so that we can decide what we are going to do.

Hi Lyn,

Did you receive the excursion documents from All Seasons or from Disney Cruise Line??

 

[admepo]

Hi everyone!

Glad to hear someone finally received excursion info so now hopefully we can all keep an eye out for it!

Cindy and Bobby: Glad to hear Jessie made it back to school!

It sounds so funny to me to hear all of you talk about school still when my 6 year old has been out for almost a month now! But then again we do go back on Aug 9th this year!!!

Happy summer days to all of your kids and my best wishes to all of you dealing with their summer days!!

Thanks Bobby for the Travel Channel reminder - we watched as well as the WDW special afterwards. Both were very good!

Getting closer.....

Melanie

Thanks for the offer to fax them to me Lyn, but I was able to view the excursions from the web sites that Bobby had the links to.

Thanks Bobby

So far we are definitely doing the Tulum ruins, we may just skip the Western Union Schooner the day we're in Key West (My husband said he'd rather just explore Key West a little on our own....we'll see...), and we're still leaning towards the Nautilus semi-sub and snorkeling excursion for the day we're in Grand Cayman (I'm going to Stingray City next summer on a Royal Caribbean cruise). I'd like to book these excursions at the 60 day mark Oh yeah, for Castaway Cay day, we still want to do the Banana boats and rent a Hobie Cat.

Terry...Which ship are you going on, is it the Voyager? Are you taking your boys?

My friend wants us to do Bermuda next year with her and family, but the big ship does sound good as does Carnival's ship to Tortola. Believe it or not DH is hooked on DCL.

Thanks Bobby for the heads up about Travel Channel last night. We watched DCL and then Disney World to follow.

 

[MoranClan]

Hello everyone..

Your Welcome..

Was no Biggie..Just scanned what I have and put them on the web..hehe

I also have a color broshure if anyone wants that also..

Happy Fathers Day To Everyone...

Bobby

 

[admepo]

Thanks Bobby for posting the excursion list!

Question for all you seasoned crusiers - it is necessary to reserve bike rentals on castaway cay ahead of time???? Or can we just do that on the island when we get there?

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL!!!!!

Joanna:

Yes, we're going on the Voyager of the Seas in June 2005. It's a 9-night cruise, from the new cruise port in NJ, to the caribbean. And as of 2005, the Voyager will also be going to BERMUDA on 5-night cruises!! These 2 cruises will alternate with each other. So, you could go to Bermuda on the Voyager, if you wanted to The dates are out now for 2005, and the rates are supposed to be coming out sometime in the next week.
