Diez (10) Noches Calientes en la Riviera Mexicana/17 de abril 2011 (4.17.11 Wonder!)

[soccer32]

I am still having trouble. Anyone else?

 

[True Romance]

Well guys...did you get what you were hoping for??

I got the dining times and days I wanted Did not have any problems. However, I do use Internet Explorer for the DCL site. I normally use Firefox as my browser, but usually have problems on Disney with that. So I switch the IE when I do anything Disney.

I did not book excursions or spa treatments.

 

[TNShellBelle]

Well, I finally booked everything. It didn't "really" work until 11:45ish cst...weird. But all done!

 

[LiserAnn]

We got everything booked too. Wow, so exciting, can hardly stand it!!!! What is everyone book for excursions? This is such a happy day (well, 4/17 will be happier).

hello,just got my room number is 7632,its very in the back of the ship,but steps away from secret deck 7 veranda.
i think we could arrange with guest services some high tea for the disers.if anyone is in favor i would suggest the 3 day,i think maybe everyone is more familiar and relaxed by then.if you are interessed plaese let me know so i can send a e-mail to guest services requesting this.

For our FE group there will be me (Rae) DH (Paul) DS (Jared who's 9) and DD (Cassidy who's 6)
I do have one question if we are able to upgrade our cabin at the port how will that work fro room number lists?
Rae

Rae, I updated all of your information on my FE list. Thanks.

I am not sure how room changes have been communicated to FE groups in the past. I was thinking if participants upgrade their rooms at the port or there is a last minute room change I will have you call or text me your change. I will give you my cell number. Then once onboard with the new Wave phones, I can text all the participants the change. Also I think most DIS meet threads have a meet the day we board. I can also update people of the change then.

Hi,
Tried to click into website to add info, im sure I did something wrong:
info: DH (Bob), DD (Laurenza- 6), me Paty, stateroom: 8024.

Thanks Paty, updated your information on my FE list.

I've been hearing a little rumbling about other cruise ships pulling out of Mexico because of danger. Does it change anyone's mind about shore excursions? I would really like to do excursions since we'll have so many days on the ship already.

I am not worried, we are doing activities relatively close to port.

Gabriela, I added your cabin # to the FE list. I would love to do a tea with the DISers. Please all me to your list. You are thinking the 3rd sea day, the 21st?

Yay!! 3 months from today we will be boarding. How exciting!! When I am on the Wonder this weekend, I will ask Guest Services if they know of the extra shows and entertainment we will be having. I am hoping they will still have the Toy Story show. I have not seen it and I think my kids would really like that.

 

[True Romance]

Here is the updated FE list I have right now. I just copied it from my Excel spreadsheet, sorry it is all jumbled. I omitted the cabin numbers that I have. If you are not on the list and want to be added, please PM me your information. If you are on the list and want to be removed, please PM me as well. Cut off date to be added is March 1st.

Currently we have 23 families participating.

3 months WHOO HOO.................

 

[szubieta]

Anything you want me to check on for you such as specific times for any of the excursions you're looking at?

Thanks but I only have 15 more days to go.

3 months WHOO HOO.................

We're down the hall in 7594. DD is 6 so the girls can come and go together. I think we are bringing a suitcase just for princes dresses! I'd be interested in high tea, although I can't commit for DH just yet.

 

[szubieta]

Are you guys with gty status getting stateroom assignments yet? I figure I will sometime after I do my on-line registration in 15 days.

 

[kjwemett]

Would love to join in a high tea with everyone. I'm sure DH would not.

 

[Popovich]

I was able to book Palo brunch and dinner without any problems. I was not able to add others to our resi that were not at their booking window. Did anyone else have that problem? Not sure if I should call the TA to add others to our Palo or try to do it on line?

I'd be happy to look up excursion availability or times for anyone needing it.

I can't believe we're less than 90 days away!

I won't be keeping the clothes I bring for DD after the trip... she'll be grown out of them before summer... they'll be Disney. I see no point in lugging it all back home from the cruise. They were bought for the cruise... have yet to be worn, and will likely be worn once or twice, laundered, and that's it (she's borderline on the size, growing TALL fast and these will definately not fit long!) There's shirts (many), shorts, pants, sleepers, and several Princess dresses! Why do our babies grow up so fast?!?!

Those stinking kids grow so darn fast! My little princess has all the dresses, and fortunately, I'm getting a GRAND-DAUGHTER in June, due on my DD (6)'s birthday!

What a great idea!

When we did the PC Repo cruise we left home with 12 bags and came back with 15.

Thank goodness we booked FL -> CA so we were able to have the inlaws pick us up and drive us home... in their motorhome. No way we would have met airline luggage requirements.

Longer cruises can definitely be a packing challenge.

 

[virdis]

It looks like the NBA playoffs start the week of our cruise. And I see there is a sports lounge on board called Diversions. Any basketball fans here? Would be nice to catch a game or two with other fans.

We have a gty and haven't gotten our room yet...

 

[szubieta]

We have a gty and haven't gotten our room yet...

Wow...would have thought with 3 prior cruises you would have gotten it after the on-line check-in. Would love to work for DCL to see some of the logic behind the madness.

 

[szubieta]

I need to call them tomorrow or Friday to see if we can still get the discount. Last I talked to him we needed at least 12 people (including children) to get the 20% discount. We currently have my 3, DSister 2 & Susiesark 4. Is anyone interested in doing the Pirate Ship in PV with us. DCL has it as a Port Adventure too. We need at least 3 more people to get the 20% discount.

some info...

They have 2 ships that carry 250 people each.

(20% discount) Adults 68. / children 34.

There will be 3 ships in port that day.

They won't bump us because of the cruise ships.

They are located right off the ship.

I will put the down for it to lock us in, if required.

Talk amongst yourselves and let me know asap if your interested. I will let you know as soon as I talk with them.
