August 8, 2010 double dip!

Once school ends we are going to see the days fly by and soon we will be cruising.

I just booked my airfare. It was a bit pricey and not exactly what I wanted, but at least I got it!
 
Late night for me tonight - I can book our Palo reservation tonight!! I can't believe that's here already. It's really nice that DCL sent me an email reminder. This is new, we've never gotten that before. Wish me luck! Dinner only this time, no brunch.
 
We were able to book dinner and brunch last night!! :thumbsup2 We hope everyone had good luck booking!! :wizard:

We can't book spa and Palo for a couple more days. Have to be patient!!:rolleyes1

Noah's mom - we're doing AKV before boarding the Wonder too! Awesome plan I think! :thumbsup2
 
Hi everyone!

We just put our deposit in for this cruise and are very excited!! We are especially looking forward to two days in CC:cool1:

I will be going with DH, DS (8) and DS (3).
 
We just booked! Not only will this be our first Disney Cruise, but our first of any cruise. We are doing one of the Alaskan cruises in 2011 so I wanted to get a trip under our belts as I figure there is a bit of a learning curve.

It will be myself and DH as well as our now 15 month old daughter. I will be mid pregnancy too. We'll be in Tampa for the month of July while my husband does a med school rotation. Afterwards we are going to spend a week at WDW then the cruise. We are booked at Kidani but thinking of switching to the Poly.
 
Glad to hear that you are booked on this cruise also BP :)

It is almost summer vacation for the kids...and almost cruise time :)

Can't wait to be on CC for 2 days! Anyone doing the stingray excursion? We are looking into that and maybe a cabana massage.

Also, anyone booked for the palo brunch or tea?

We haven't booked it yet, but are planning on the stingray adventure. Not sure which day we are planning on booking. Any advice? Are excursions less crowed on the 2nd day at CC?
 
This will be our first double dip so I don't know which day would be better for excursions but we are planning on doing the stingray on the first day (morning) at CC. (It will be my DH and DS (8) doing the excursion while my DS (3) and I hang out on the sand.


):yay:
 
By the way, anyone have any guesses on the movies that will be shown on our cruise?

These are some of the movies coming up for release from Disney:

PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME --- May 28
Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Alfred Molina, Ben Kingsley
Director: Mike Newell

From the team that brought the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy to the big screen, Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films present PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME, an epic action-adventure set in the mystical lands of Persia. A rogue prince (JAKE GYLLENHAAL) reluctantly joins forces with a mysterious princess (GEMMA ARTERTON) and together, they race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time—a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.

TOY STORY 3 ----- June 18
Starring: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Don Rickles, Wallace Shawn, Estelle Harris, John Ratzenberger, Ned Beatty, Jodi Benson, Michael Keaton, Timothy Dalton, Whoopi Goldberg, Joan Cusack, John Morris, Laurie Metcalf, R. Lee Ermey, Jeff Garlin, Bonnie Hunt, Blake Clark
Director: Lee Unkrich

The creators of the beloved Toy Story films re-open the toy box and bring moviegoers back to the delightful world of Woody, Buzz and our favorite gang of toy characters in TOY STORY 3. Woody and Buzz had accepted that their owner Andy would grow up someday, but what happens when that day arrives? In the third installment, Andy is preparing to depart for college, leaving his loyal toys troubled about their uncertain future. Lee Unkrich (co-director of Toy Story 2 and Finding Nemo) directs this highly anticipated film, and Michael Arndt, the Academy Award®-winning screenwriter of Little Miss Sunshine, brings his unique talents and comedic sensibilities to the proceedings. TOY STORY 3 will be presented in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.

THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE ----- July 16
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Jay Baruchel, Teresa Palmer, Alfred Molina, Toby Kebbell, Monica Bellucci
Director: Jon Turteltaub

Walt Disney Studios, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Jon Turteltaub, the creators of the National Treasure franchise, present The Sorcerer's Apprentice – an innovative and epic comedy adventure about a sorcerer and his hapless apprentice who are swept into the center of an ancient conflict between good and evil. Balthazar Blake (NICOLAS CAGE) is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (ALFRED MOLINA). Balthazar can't do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler (JAY BARUCHEL), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protégé. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners work to stop the forces of darkness. It'll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes The Sorcerer's Apprentice. The screenplay is by Matt Lopez and Doug Miro & Carlo Bernard from a screen story by Matt Lopez and Larry Konner & Mark Rosenthal.

STEP UP 3D ----- August 6
Starring: Adam Sevani, Alyson Stoner, Rick Malambri, Sharni Vinson, Keith "Remedy" Stallworth, Kendra Andrews, Stephen "Twitch" Boss, Joe Slaughter
Director: Jon M. Chu

New York's intense street dancing underground comes alive in eye-popping Digital 3D in the third installment of the STEP UP franchise as the raw, passion-fueled culture goes global. A tight-knit group of street dancers, including Luke (RICK MALAMBRI) and Natalie (SHARNI VINSON), team up with NYU freshman Moose (ADAM SEVANI), and find themselves pitted against the world's best hip hop dancers in a high-stakes showdown that will change their lives forever.

Hi, We just booked cabin 5524. I laughed when I saw your post because I didn't look at this thread before booking. I just read my e-mails this morning and saw the FLR discount for this cruise. I always check for SPH rooms when booking. This is only the 2nd time we've been able to get one!:cool1:

This cruise will be a surprise anniversary gift for my DH. It will be our 14th anniversary on 8/10! I tried to surprise him with a cruise for his birthday but it didn't work out so I'm hoping I can get this one planned so that I can wait to tell him the Saturday before we leave.

Is anyone interested in doing a FE (Fish Extender) gift exchange? Our DD(2) will be cruising with us also.

Hi Lisa,
I'm curious if you were able to get the FL resident discount since it came out after you booked. I've been trying to find out if that is possible without rebooking? We are booked on the Panama Canal cruise and I'll be very upset if FL resident rates come out after we make final payment and we can't get the discount.

Hi-

Welcome aboard and welcome to this thread!! Yes, we were able to transfer our existing reservation to the FL resident rate. We have never had a problem doing this. However, the agent I spoke w/ this time did almost present a few problems-first, he stated that if the pay in full date had passed (I believe 5/25/10 for this sailing), then we would have to pay a cancellation fee (never heard of that before) and second, we needed to be able to fax our Fl driver license to reservations w/in 48 hours (never heard of that before either). Everything worked out though!! :hippie:
 
Hi all -

My name is Emily and I am registered on this cruise along with my DH and DD(3). My DH & I took a 3 night Wonder honeymoon cruise in '05 after our Disney wedding. It will be our daughter's first cruise and she is thrilled. We have been booked since Sept. '09, but are starting to get excited. I have been lurking around the boards for a few weeks, so I thought I might as well join in!

I want to thank Lisa for letting me know about the Florida resident discounts - I e-mailed our Dreams Unlimited travel agent about this, as it would save us over half!!! I hope that paying in full already won't matter.........

Anyways, I am interested in the Fish Extender gift exchange - I know that my DD would love to come back to the stateroom to see a gift here and there!

We would be interested in FE as well :)
 


Sorry - posted from my hubby's account accidentally. Anyways,

Woo hoo! Cheers to Dreams Unlimited Travel for being able to apply Florida resident rates even after our balance was pain in full!!

How do we go about collecting info for the Fish Extenders? I guess we need who's in what stateroom, male/female, and how old they are. Is that something collected by 1 person via email and distributed out? New to fish extender gift exchanging..........

Emily
