Calling All 8/19/06 Special Western Cruisers! AKA "The Cruisin' Castaways" Part 2

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Hi Tina


PS Andrew, Thanks for your advice. I emailed Disney Cruise about my document timings yesterday. I have already paid for the cruise in full so I don't think I'd be able to change (though I would be afraid to change in case I would mess it up altogether!) I also asked them for a vacation planning kit, as they are not available to addresses outside the US (I would imagine that's to do with Region 1 settings) but my PC is set to Region 1 and I would love to show my daughter what to expect!

Were you able to get around this one?

Sorry for all the questions! M.

Sorry the only way I get round it, is everytime I know someone is going to WDW I ask them to pick up a DCL Brouchure, there is a TA at the MK entrance and also in some hotels like the contemporary.

I give them Disney advice they bring it back for me.

The website will not allow anything, but the book Passporter on DCL is good.
The Birnbaums DCL isnt very good.

Hi everyone,

I left work early today (toothache) and had a doctor's appointment. Stopped at a mall on the way home. Went into "Spencer's" and I've never really walked around the whole store. It's changed alot since I was a kid. Definitely different. Bought something there and then went to the Disney store. From one extreme to the other. So when do we send the Cruise exchange gifts?

This weekend I'll be sending out PM's to each family that reserved a room with me at the Radisson - just to confirm the reservations. Can't wait until 8/18. Still didn't get my airfare.

Take care
Bev

Bev, did you see this thread about Southwest? http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1090139

I just found out that our flights got changed and DH, MIL, SIL flight is going to leave at 12:00pm. Do you think it is safe to keep that flight. Every other flight gets them in after 11:00pm and they have 2 hour drive home. I am so upset about this.

Linda: You have first seating so will be getting off the ship before me. I know they like to get everyone off the ship by 9:00..........How do you plan on getting back to the airport? It would help if you didn't have to deal with a rental car. I know it has and can be done. I would be nervous but that's just me. There are things out of your control, weather, security and such. Good luck !

Bev: Hope your feeling better today. What are you buying at spencer's ? I haven't been in that store in years.

Hi Bev,

I got my wish this afternoon. After work, Hazel and Angelina took me to the new Outback Steakhouse that just opened this past Monday across the street from the Deptford Mall. I am soooooooooooooooo stuffed I can hardly breathe. The food and service were outstanding!!!!!

I also got some nice compliments today from some of my customers. When I told them how old I was, they couldn't believe it, they thought I was only about 40, talk about making my day!!!

[castoff]

Terry: Hope you don't mind that I filled in for ya.

Karen: I have bought just about everything double that I bought for my cruise exchange family. You know what they say...........The best gift is if you would buy it for yourself. I did.

Moira: Great Job, You finished before me ! I just bought my last gift today. I will wrap up aw next week but I have time to mail out.

How is everyone else doing on there exchange?

 

[Verandah Man]

I got an e-mail from my niece that we will be cruising with on May 13th, she told me that she received her cruise docs yesterday afternoon. Now, I'm on the cruise docs lookout since we will be sailing away three weeks from tomorrow!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

My mom called a little bit ago to let me know that her's and my docs arrived today, but Hazel's and Angelina's docs were NOT in the package. I guess Hazel and Angelina won't be going with us afterall, yea right!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

I found out what happened with our docs. There were two booklets in with the cruise documents, one booklet was for my mom, the other booklet was for me, Hazel and Angelina. My mom didn't know the second booklet was for the three of us, she thought is was just mine. Hazel and Angelina are feeling better already!!!

 

[castoff]

Andy: I would be excited also if I got my cruise docs ! Congrats.

I just made reservations for the dogs to stay in there " suite " while we are away. We have to drop them off on the 17th and pick them up on Aug. 27th. Even though our flight leaves on the 18th and returns at night on the 26th. I am worried how Dante will handle it all. He will be staying there for 2 nights in July for the 50th anniversay party. I guess that's a good test. Wonder who will be more tramatized him or me?
