Alright Lianne, I am dying to know if you booked this cruise. I know your back by now!

Yes ma'am I am officially back on board. I booked it on the first night of our B2B. Ironically we ran into a few people on the Magic that we knew from the Fantasy.

We just got back yesterday and have had snow today so it has been a bit crazy for Florida. Therefore, I am trying to catch up on my tv, school, work, etc right now. Plus we had a horrible time on the second part of our B2B so I am debating between writing Disney and just leaving it be. I was ready to cancel all future Disney cruises because it was that miserable but I am trying to wait and see if I calm down first. So that is my update for now. ::shrugs:: On one hand, our first half was good and we enjoyed ourselves. We have never had issues on DCL before but this voyage was way worse than any Carnival cruise or other vacation I have ever had so yeah. Please understand that I am not a complainer either. Even if a server brings me the wrong food or what not, I just take it and go and DCL had me so upset that I was ready to get off the ship on our very first evening of the second half. It is hard to believe that it was the same ship that we had just got off of and right back on because it was a night and day difference.

That stinks Lianne. I would let Disney know how displeased you are. I would be upset with all that had happened if that were me. What ship were you on again? The Fantasy?

Thanks

I don't have control over approving for FB. I handle most planning with Robin but Rachel took control of the FB so you have to make sure she approves ya. She should be checking it daily

 

[Astro1]

OK no worries. Thanks Michelle

I found Rachel to be really fast!

I found Rachel to be really fast!

Agreed, I just wanted people to know at that time I couldn't do anything about it. But Rachel and I are now sharing the approval process. This way when she is busy I can approve people after they do the form and when I get crazy busy in the summer working umpteen hours she can pick up my slack...lol. it will run like clock work...right Rachel? =)

Good Morning my Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas Cruisers!!!!! Hope everyone is having a great start to their weekend. The web page has a few updates added. Just so everyone knows -- The FE list will be created in the summer. As it stands now, we have 16 participants in the FE. I anticipate based on last yrs cruise, we will end up with 2 lists. Thus these lists will be started about June/July. Gives everyone time to start making or buying there products. I would ANTICIPATE about 25-30 rooms and the amount of kids is unknown. If you are traveling with another family(like extended family not same household) you will be placed on separate lists. From past experience this just makes sure each stateroom participates and not just giving one gift for 2 staterooms. Hope everyone understands this, if you don't feel free to PM me. Thanks all...have a great weekend!! posted on FB as well

Thanks Lianne! As soon as I confirm that people are listed on the website, I approve them! Now that Michelle is sharing in the approval process, it should go even faster since Michelle controls the website form and knows right away who fills it out.

You are welcome. I think that it is an efficient / smooth system that y'all have going on.

Good Morning all!!! It is frigid temps! I am excited for summer, shoot I would even take 50* right now. Ok even 32 would be nice. this negative degrees really sucks!!

Just a note to all new comers.. as posted in my signature, you must fill out join us form to be added to FB and other activities. I have had 3 people ask to join but there is no join us form filled out. So that Rachel and I don't keep having notifications sitting there, I have ignored requests that haven't filled out the form. Once you fill out the form, please resubmit your request to join FB. Thank You!!
