Counting down to May 25, 2002!

[callahanjulie10]

Just checking again for the May 25- how many of us Disers went through DU? Just checking to see if we can expect a little surprise in our room from DCL! 72, 71, 70..................





DH-39
DW-33
DD-10

We booked through DU- that is 1!

 

[Kyzar1]

We used DU as well when we booked 5/25/02!

Hey sis-in-law, callahanjulie10! We too booked with DU for our cruise on 5/25/02. I am still waiting on that great upgrade....LOL

DH-47
DW-36
DS-10
DD-7 (will be 8 by cruise)

 

[callahanjulie10]

So far- that is 3- only 5 more needed to get a surprise! Now, don't get me wrong- if they insist on upgrading us to a Walt or Roy- I will not require a GIFT!! Only 71 more days- here we come!

 

[dwest]

Hey guys, just called DU last week with our final payment. We will be there May 25!!! Yeah...

 

[BWVPam]

Will be on May 25, but did not book through Dreams. DCL did fax me the Western Excursion information, so if anyone wants to know the meeting times and the length of excursion, let me know and I will post the details. Because we are flying out a couple of days before sailing, we leave in 69 days. I can't believe it is actually getting closer.

 

[twinscandc]

We are on the 5/25 Western Cruise!! We didn't book through Dream's unlimited - didn't even know they existed!!

We booked through All Seasons Travel from the advice of a friend. From what I have heard, All Season has book close to 80 staterooms for this cruise.....I wonder if that "qualifies" us for a free gift???? I guess I should ask!!

Anyway, can't wait....first time disney cruise for all of us - me, DH and twin DD's (age 5.5).

We took advantage of the $99 rate for a pre-cruise stay at the Swan!! So, we leave in 65 days!!

I do have a question: I have heard on the other boards that Dis members wear lime green ribbons - does this apply to our cruise also? I would love to be looking and find someone!!

 

[callahanjulie10]

We can decide if we want to do the ribbons. I always forget ours! We can set up a time for DISers to meet, most of the time it is when we first board. For us, that is always a little hectic, sometimes we make it and sometimes we don't. And there are always so many people on deck that there is no way to tell a DISer without the ribbon. Any suggestions...

So far- so good!

HI THERE --YA'ALL . WE WENT THRU DCL- NEXT TIME I'LL GO THRU DREAMS. CAN'T WAIT FOR 5/24- WE TALK EVERYNIGHT ABOUT THE DIFFERENT ISLANDS AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO. THAT EXTRA PORT DAY WILL BE INTERESTING. ONLY TWO SEA DAYS INSTEAD OFF 3. JULIE- WHAT SUPRISE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT (OTHER THAN YOUR UPGRADE TO ROYS SUITE!!)

 

[callahanjulie10]

If DU has 8 bookings on board- DCL will put a snack trunk or something of the like in each room. Sounds like a sweet deal to me! I just can't believe that they don't have more than 8 on each cruise.

 

[Pugdog007]

We're on the May 25 Western also AND we booked through Dreams.

Can't wait!

Still looking for a friend for my DD-14. Surely there will be other teens on this cruise?

 

[dwest]

We would really appreciate having the info on the western cruise excursions. Please post or e-mail us. Thanks a bunch.

 

[waltjr]

Me, DW, DS21 and DS18 are going. We booked through All Seasons Travel and got a great rate.
DW and I cruised once before, but this is the first time for my sons. We are so excited.
It is our DS18 graduation from H.S. and the return of DS21 from Ecuador.
See you all there.

 

[callahanjulie10]

You can check out Webmaster Michelles post towards the top of the page- this lists DCLs Western Caribs excursions. We have booked our own already with shoretrips.com. It is much cheaper and they have a great refund policy.

So far I have counted up 9 families going on the May 25 Magic-

Can't wait to cruise- only 69 more days! How many are booked at the Radission? From what I understand - they are almost filled to capacity for May 24!

 

[Bbethparsons]

Hey, Callahanjulie10, it looks like we only have 5 DU reservations. Surely, we have 3 more. I have sent private messsages to lkneller, ckerridan, irishcowboy, rose4hall asking them did they use DU. I really could use an extra gift.

 

[callahanjulie10]

Good idea- I hope they did- just 3 more and we will have a nice little stateroom gift waiting on us. Just 68 more days!

 

[JMMTNS]

We are also going May 25, Western route, and booked through DU. How does the gift thing work does everyone who booked through them receive a gift if there are at least 8?inkbounc

 

[JMMTNS]

Do we get counted twice towards the 8 needed? I just remembered that we also booked a seperate room for my parents but we paid for their room and ours? is that 2 more or just 1?inkbounc inkbounc

 

[Bbethparsons]

Yes- if you got 2 rooms that does count! We are up to 7 DUer's! Basically if
DU ha 8 rooms or more booked per cruise- those people get a gift in their
staterooms compliments of DCL. This should be a great cruise- look forward
to meeting all of the DISers out there.

Hello, we will be on this cruise... It is our first time ever cruising. I am so excited I dont think it will ever get here... We booked with All Seasons Travel it seems like ages ago... I really enjoy reading the boards I have gotten lots of info here... Me and my husband an our 14 year old daughter will be going... She is a little nervous that she will not meet anyone her age to hang out with..But all the trip reports I have read said that she should not have any trouble making friends.. She is very outgoing so I am sure she will be fine.... I will just keep reading and gathering more information and i may be an expert by the time I leave...
