DIS-Functional Wonder Peeps 7/20 & 7/24, 2008 PART II

[RonnieJo66]

Ditto! If you can get others on there, we would love to join you. If not, that is totally understandable.

Beano just informed me that the boat they are on is filled already.....mebbe you and Johnna can try to get the same boat though

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

I will be meeting mom and picking up the short one tomorrow at Sawgrass Mills Outlet..

DH and I are going to Bonefish Grill tonight for "date night"..one last night alone kidless!! Woohoo!! I am thinking an Ahi Tuna appetizer is in my future!!

That will teach me...next cruise book a suite. Maybe Ill try for 10:00 or 12:00. I don't know if 10:00 is too early. Hmmm??? Johnna, any opinions? I know if we do it after lunch Cam will freak out and think he cant do it on a full stomach...and he will worry all day. Thats why Im trying to get this done early in the cruise, early in the day, LOL!

 

[RonnieJo66]

Beano wanted the 10...it was full already. That's why he had to go with 11.

HEY HEY HEY!! We wanna go too!!!!! Wonder if the 2nd stop would have more openings? Do you think they hold some back for when the non CC people can book? I mean, how can they have thousands of people on the ship who want to do this and only have like 10 slots per hour and they're full just from the suites already?! That would mean that nobody else can ever do it?! Katie - tell Cam no need to worry about a full stomach...not like a coaster or swimming...nothing going upside down on it!! It is just a quiet ride!

 

[CamColt]

Beano wanted the 10...it was full already. That's why he had to go with 11.

OH CRAP! Will you stop with the bad news? J/K Actually, its good to know. Maybe I will end up skipping brunch if I have to go for that day.

Oh I know its nothing Annie, but you dont know Cam. Once he gets something in his head forget it. And even in WDW if we are eating he will start asking, what are we doing next? Do I have to go on fast rides?... Hes crazy with that stuff.

You will also see he wears the wrist bands for the whole cruise...sailing or not. He has never gotten seasick, but has this wicked worry about it.

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

HEY!!!!

WE ARE DOING THE DOUBLE DIGIT DANCE!!!!
99 Days!

 

[tinkryansmom]

Ok then - back to working on schedule.

I agree earlier is better. Ryan will work herself up into just shy of hysterical so it is really important to attempt to control who is on the boat with her. If any kid losing it she will not go and then I am out the $79. That is why I thought would be good to get her with Cassie.

Ok someone post the schedule again - is this the same time the women are doing brunch?? I think not right??

I guess if 12 is our option I say earlier is better.

 

[CamColt]

Johnna, the brunch is on Wed, the second CC day.

Maybe we can send Ryan and Cam up together, LOL! Cam wont physically freak out...its more mental with him. He will be miserable and whinny and make our lives a living hell. This is of course the worst case scenario. He may surprise us and be fine. I know he will love it once he does it...its just getting him up there. Im thinking maybe try for Wed now and skip brunch. I guess we could do that on our adult only cruise next year. Oh I dont know!!!!

 

[tinkryansmom]

Why does it have to be so hard!!:stamps foot:

I'm game if you are to try to get them together. Are you taking Cam or is DH?? Ryan wants to go with Daddy - apparently he is calm and I am too goofy!??

You are in the ressie on 4/21 group right?? So how can we get them together? Attempt to see what time slots are left and conference call?
The eating issue is not a problem with DD so I am thinking they would be open to going whenever. Like I said Ryan had wanted to go with Cassie - but really any time if we can get them together would be great.

If not then I will send them in on their own I guess.

 

[Anal Annie]

TRM - your Palo brunch is on the 2nd stop!

I would say if 10:00 is booked then 11:00. If not 11:00 then 12:00. If not 12:00 then 9:00! If we can't get into one of those slots on CC day # 1 then I will look at CC day # 2 before I look at the later slots on day # 1. My only problem with going in the afternoon is that I don't want to interrupt my sun time! I'll bet ya 1:00 is wide open! I wonder how much time it all really takes? I mean, to go to wherever you go to check in etc. I mean I know the excursion part is an hour...but I wonder if it eats up more like 1 1/2 hours? I might could think about doing the 3:00. Last one of the day. Do all of my sunning early....get hot....the boat & breeze would feel good about that time....

 

[CamColt]

Cam wants to go with Dad....Everyone always wants to do everything with Dad. I am telling him he will probably have to go with me because of the weight. So if I can get him to accept it, we will go with that plan.

I gotta think about when we are going to try for. I keep going back and forth in my mind here.

 

[CamColt]

Annie, when we did it before, we checked in and were there for maybe like 10minutes while everyone checked in before we got on the boat. It wasnt too long.

Yeah, maybe doing it really late, and eating lunch early would work well...but again, then I have to listen to Cam stress all day. Maybe Ill buy him a Konk Kooler to Konk him out for the day.

 

[tinkryansmom]

So how do we link up the ressie time??

 

[CamColt]

I dont think we can book for other people, can we? Like, I could only book for 4, not up to 7 or 10, right? Maybe we just try for the same thing and see who gets what and then we can try to adjust if we need to.

Any other ideas?

 

[Anal Annie]

TRM - are you planning to go too & leave Linden with someone else or is it just Neil & Ryan? If it was the 3 of you, the 3 of us & CamColt's 4 that's 10 - I'll bet ya they don't take more than 10 per boat... I called DCL to ask if we could call to book it & they said everything is done online now...which I thought was weird and could be unfair to someone who maybe doesn't have access. ANYWAY, we can book it online at 12:01 AM on 4/21 which would be a Sunday nite/Monday morning...could we all possibly go online together at the same time and conf. call with each other somehow whilst we book?! I can see us now....CamColt & I up until midnite....trying to hook up with Johnna in a diff. time zone....the DCL website will be on overload and crash!

 

[tinkryansmom]

It would be just Neil and Ryan. I will hang with Linden somewhere. Maybe try the Konk Kooler on her!

Yes the conference call would be tough. Can you only book for the # of ppl in your stateroom?? Can they link the ressies like they can for dinner??

Is that midnight in which time zone?? Can you tell I really jumped on the ressie thing last time I cruised!

 

[Soccermom-Cheri]

huh

parasailing was supposed to be on brunch day (day#2 so T and I could go kayaking w/ Tim and Sarah on day #1) - kayak = 9:30am-12:30 or so so any parasailing before 1:00 is out.

 

[Soccermom-Cheri]

HEY!!!!

WE ARE DOING THE DOUBLE DIGIT DANCE!!!!
99 Days!

sunday = 105
monday = 104
tuesday = 103
wednesday = 102
thursday = 101 (did I mention we went to Disneyland )
friday = 100

you can only book for the peeps in your room. Already tried that. all of us are already linked. (SE has us for 8:00 dining BTW). I think it's midnight EST, isn't it? Which, of course, it good for us (but of course, that's when all children need a drink, another story and have to go to the bathroom )


How could the 10:00 boat be filled? I'm guessing they only release 3 or so spots at 105 days. They have to keep some for 90 days, some for 75 days and some for on board- although I'd bet everything is sold out by then.
