Disney Dream Magical Preview Cruise 1/23/11...

[Mineu]

Hi everyone-I'm in too This is my first TA conference too-so, really excited. I'm "dragging" three friends along as well. Has anyone been contacted yet about staterooms and hotel rooms? Can not wait!!

 

[dsnymoners]

No phone call yet for me. Hope it happens soon so I can get a little more info!!!

Can't wait

 

[Eeyore1928]

Not me either. Everytime the phone rings....I keep hoping its Disney

 

[Mineu]

I haven't let go of my phone since this was offered-I must have clicked on the "log in" button several hundred times waiting for it to open!

 

[Eeyore1928]

Me too....I pulled up the website every morning first thing...then kept the link up until it worked. I am so glad I was quick to get registered. I do feel bad for all of the agents that are on the waitlist!

Does anyone know if we will be able to see Remy?

 

[J&K'sPrincessMommy]

No call here either.
I did ask when I called on Monday and they said to ask then.

I'm dying to know our stateroom assignments! Anyone register as a party of five? One from our agency did and is very anxious about getting that.

I changed my flights today. I got my official invitation for the Christening event from the sweepstakes and they want us there by 4pm the day before. They said our prize includes our hotel stay for the 18th but didn't say which resort.

When i checked the airfare today (originally booked 1/22-1/26) it went down on Southwest, so I rebooked the whole family and have a bunch of $10 credits to use up.

No phone call here either. I wanted a stateroom for 5 but all that was available was for 4 so I called and I have one extra guest on the waiting list in case a stateroom for 5 opens up. I'll be traveling with my 2 daughters and they each wanted to bring a friend so hopefully a stateroom for 5 will open up! I've booked airfare, coming in on the 21st! WooHoo!!

 

[dsnymoners]

Anyone hear anything yet?

 

[lindym]

No Phone call yet. What day is eveyone going down???? I'm Jan 21-26th.
I also hope Ivanna Dream is on the ship for the conference. It wouldn't be the same without her!!

Same here! No phone call and I am headed down on the 21st in the evening and flying back home around 1pm on the 26th. Ivanna Dream just has to be there, after all they did name the ship after her!

 

[J&K'sPrincessMommy]

Still no call here- we are just a couple, but I think our agency has 2 staterooms of 5 reserved and 1 stateroom of 4 reserved plus another for 5 on the waitlist (*I think*).

Checked our flights on SW and they are down nearly 50%! We are coming in on the 22nd and leaving the 26th.

I think I registered within seconds of it opening, thank goodness. I know others will be cruising with the TA's but I hope those wait listed can still get in, maybe an oceanview stateroom (199 of those and some sleep 5) or an inside stateroom (150 of those). How many agents do you think got registered? Isn't there 860 staterooms with a verandah? I'm still amazed at how fast it filled.

It will be me, my sister and a good friend of ours. CR 1/20 to 1/23 and then the Poly 1/26 to 1/28. Our agency registered 5 agents for the conference/cruise. The only one confirmed was the owner and that was for the resorts only. Still waiting on the call to get our stateroom assignment. Jumped in and purchased our air, hope that was not a mistake, but thought it would be ok since they did take my conference fee on the business credit card and the extra monies for my guests on my credit card. Air just keeps going up and up so I went ahead and booked.

 

[Mineu]

Still no call here either. I'm wondering if they will contact owners/managers first as they were allowed to book first? I think they will be the majority onboard as they shut down the site for a few days before it opened for agents and then it sold out right away. I called the 407# during registration and they seemed to think it was safe to buy the air if you were able to get in online-would love to get a cabin number though...

just checked our flights and they are down too... gotta do the switchover and get that credit...

btw, what flight on the 26th? we're on the 3:55pm (assuming we get off that pesky waitlist)

Excited to watch this thread!

We got 5 staterooms - mine and two others have 5 in their rooms. I'm arriving on 1/19 and departing on 1/28. I could not be more excited!

I chatted with them a couple of times this week. I called to confirm my resort rooms before I would buy my airfare. They confirmed everything over the phone with me. If you have a # from registering online, I'd give them a call. The CM said they were way behind due to calling so many to let them know the sad news that they did not make it. It sounded like the happy calls were the last on the list. That seems promising to me for anyone who hasn't been called yet!

 

[J&K'sPrincessMommy]

I spoke with them as well before booking flights. They just said I would get a call regarding Remy & Palo... we are hoping to get to dine in one of them while on board.

Gigi- we are on the 12:05 flight on the 26th~ are you on the waitlist for all 5 of you?

Just gave WDW Event Services a call and I am definitely confirmed on the ship! WooHoo! I asked about my pre-conference room reservation and was told that they will be contacting me via email with that reservation number soon. I'm still on the wait list for a stateroom for 5 but am elated to have the stateroom for 4 at this point! I did ask if they plan to open up any Ocean View staterooms for those that are on the waitlist and was told that since we (TA earmarked) are not the only ones on the ship, that more than likely, those would not be available to book but that those on the waitlist would get a room if someone from the earmarked conference canceled or didn't pay in time. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for those that are on the waitlist.
Momto3Disneyfans, where in Texas are you from? I'm in the Houston area.

 

[kutchyone]

Just received my confirmation for the pre and post-conference staty at the Contemporary and the Poly. Glad to know I'm good to go because I went out on a limb purchasing my air.
