Morning!

We have late seating by the way.

I was just gonna ask you that

When will we know our dining rotation?

 

[3xthecharm]

My gosh we're now 24 strong! Every time I turn around our party gets bigger.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Your personal group is 24 strong?!?!

 

[3xthecharm]

sorry double post.

 

[3xthecharm]

Yes! Can you believe it.

Breakdown:
sister and her family(4)
BIL's mother
BIL's brother and his family(4)
My family(5)
My brother and his family(4)
SIL's mother
Our mom
Friends of BIL's SIL(4)

After all, Ohana means family and nobody gets left behind.

and you've left noone

I, unfortunately, have to leave my hubby and son behind for the cruise.
Mom planned this as a girls only trip

It's ok tho...my hubby encourages me to do things with my mom and my son probably couldn't handle another week away from his girlfriend.LOL.
besides, somebody's gotta take care of the dog

 

[3xthecharm]

My DH is the same way. I, my sister, mom, and daughters are planning a girls trip Sept. 06.

HI
When we got our package about 30 days out they confirmed the late dining. When we got our room key it had our rotation on it & it was PLA -Parrot-Lumieres-Animators etc.

Another Disney Cruise?

So I guess we find out the first day if any of us have the same rotation?

I vote for a sure thing Terminal meet, and let's see about the sailaway paryy, since I don't know what my crew will want to do when we get there!

I vote for the tea, only because it's not too much eating, sounds like a nice relaxing little something to sit down together and chat.

I vote banana boat ride on CC, definitely! Let's do it!

And how about we choose a show, like one of the comedy things in the clubs, and enjoy a couple of drinks and laugh our heads off!

 

[3xthecharm]

No.
We will do WDW at BCV or VWL. It will be my last anytime of the year trip before I go back to teaching.

One in my group will be easy to spot(hear). Just look for the cute as cotton 5 year old birthday girl that has a voice like Fran Dresher. Oy!

I say that lovingly but accurately about my DD.

I can't wait to meet her...

Got it!

I'll check my book on the shows tonight. Anyone have a specific suggestion?

 

[trinibjill]

Even though we had late seating (confirmed) they made a mistake & put us on early dining. We went to the dining area at the time originally specified & went to the head waiter & they put us at a temporary table & said every thing would be corrected the next night. What I'm saying is changes can be done.

 

[Aisling]

We have second seating, as we requested. And hoping for PLA.

I'm going to ask Chad to help me post a few pics of us, so you'll recognize us at the port!

I took a nap and got up at 11:45 to get ready to hit song.com All along for about two weeks all the prices stayed the same, $69:00 and I was excited about that. I think that is a good price just two days from Christmas. So, I wanted the early flight 8:30 am on the 23rd. The site would not let me do it alone so I had an operator help me (An Extra $5:00 per ticket) So, I told her I wanted the early flight and she tells me its $169.00 one way, yikes! But the second flight leaves at 11:10 am and she had tickets for that time for $64.00! so all added up to $77.00 per ticket. Non-stop, TV, such a deal!!! Pretty good so close to the holiday! Have any of you got your tickets yet?

I still have the boys' photos you posted (from months ago.) Got anything of the whole family?

We'll arrange a meeting time at the terminal when you get your flight arranged. I would like to get there around 10:30/11am.

Have any of you got your tickets yet?

I checked and haven't seen anything cheaper than $94 and I know if I wait and keep looking I can find better. Probably more due to the fact that I'm coming out of Philly than any other reason...

My most recent purchase (for March) was $165 round trip on AirTran.

Franco!!!

Any idea where you'll be staying the 23rd? The Radisson perhaps?

Franco, I don't understand why the Song site says it's too early to book...that it needs to be a minumum of 331 days out, but according to my counter, it IS 331 days!!

I'm going to call Song now and see what's up with that. The fares have been $59 each way. If they're higher, I'm going to hold out for a while.

Got anything of the whole family?

Tig, yes, but I don't know how to scan and post them. I'll have Chad do it and give me a lesson.
And we're flying in that morning, so we won't be able to have that kamakazi with you guys. But I'll make up for it!

Now I'm going to call Song. I'll let you all know what happens.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

~Please remember, these are very loose plans~

We have 331 more days to plan!

Our First Day

Here's my thought on Saturday:

Meet at the terminal
(flight times pending)

Board The Magic

Make Brunch Reservations for Palo (DIS) Brunch
(which shall I reserve, the Dec 25 or 26th?)

Lunch/Swimming/Safety Drill

4:30 Sail Away Celebration
(from WWOS deck 10 or Prominade area?)

5:30 Change & shower for dinner
make hairbraiding reservations for me and the girls

6:30 Attend Welcome aboard variety show

8:30 Go to dinner

9:45 Family Fun in The Promenade Lounge
(or Kids could visit the stack & Adults could club, we could even go swimming-Goofy's Pool is open til Midnight!)

choices subject to change at any time

any thoughts?

Aisling: We'll keep the kamikaze's cold for you

I will have enough Kamakaze's for the whole trip. I will make sure you get one (or two) (or three) during the cruise.

Flight info -
Last year in OCTOBER I checked out the prices for Spirit Airline from Atlantic City to Fla. they ranged from $135 - 185 round trip.

Then on 14 DECEMBER I checked out the same flights the price was
$68 -144 dollars.
