Early Roll Call For January 29, 2005 western....Anyone Out There?

[MamaCrush]

Welcome Julylady! Aeris (DD who turns 3yrs 1/21/05) will love to meet Hannah!

Mommy2mrb-- Brosnan (DS 41/2) will love to meet Megan!

We're renting a car from Charlotte, NC on Friday and driving down to PC and staying at the Hampton Inn at Cocoa Beach. We're going to drive straight back to NC once we get off the ship-- couldn't talk DH into a night at WDW!

I've begun my "things to be packed" piles and will soon get out the suitcases. DH is finally starting to get into cruise mode because now he's starting to worry he won't have the right clothes for the restaurants!! Cracks me up. Like many other spouses/so's, he's left all the compulisive planning to me and I will function as the walking encyclopedia once we get their.

Can't wait to meet everyone! Also, can't wait to see all our kids playing and having fun.

Here is a recent thread from someone who was just on a Western. This is a great place to ask questions.

Hi,
I just found this site and am glad to see that there are so many people out there that are as excited about this as I am. I am from Canada and travelling with a 10 family members. I have a DD 4 and a DS 2.

Can any one explain how the rotation dinning works. Do you get to pick where you eat the first night? Just trying to see if the whole family will be able to eat together even though we are in different rooms.

As my DD would say I am getting excited TOO MUCH.
Thanks

We'll be sailing with DS4 and DD3! Maybe they can hook up with your little ones int he club! Also, you will find there are a bunch of little mouseketeers from this board.

This is my first cruise, but as I understand it from these boards, you are assigned a dining rotation upon boarding and it's noted on your Key to the World Card. You will be able to tell if you are first/main seating at 6:30 or the second, later seating (sorry, can't remember when this one starts). Typically, parties with smaller children are assigned APL (Animators Palate the first night, Parrot Cay the second, Lumiere's the third and then it starts all over again).

If all of the staterooms in your party are linked with DCL, I would imagine you will be assigned the same seating time and rotation. You could probably call DCL now and find this out. If when you get onboard you're not happy with what you've been assigned, you can request changes.

Hope this helps...

Thank you Mamacrush!
It did help, called yesterday and made sure, and everybody is eating together so I am very happy.

What time is it best to get to the Port? We will have a 5 adults a 2, 3, 4 and 7 year old plus 2 seniors in our group and we are from Canada ( more stuff at customs I think). When is the biggest line ups?

Trying to get ready for the trip but we have our DD and DS birthday next week and a small party to plan. Looking forward to a place with no phones, no driving, no winter coats and boots.

Hello to all and have a magical day!

So is there a time/place for a DIS meet? I don't want it to be planned the week before I leave because we are stuck at WDW for that week with NO LAPTOP Seriously, has anyone planned it?

9 Days till WDW, 16 Days till Cruise!

Thanks, John

just got off the phone with Shirley at The Perfect Gift, what a sweetheart, she is making up a Princess tote bag with goodies (I sent some to her) for Megan and a special one for Jim and I to help celebrate our wedding renewal on Sunday, can't wait to see the baskets.

We will be there for the DIS meet on monday Maria, tell Ciara hi from Megan.

I just loved hearing your good news! You sound like a great parent, and your son is lucky to have you for support! I'm also thrilled with your upgrade! (Okay, maybe just a little jealous! , but just let me on that boat, and I'm sure I'll get over it quickly!!

 

[larillion]

It is very dark and rainy here today (Ontario Canada). It looks so gray outside and I am in desperate need of some colour outside. All our snow melted but the glass looks like a gross greenish-brown. Can't waite for some sunny weather and some relaxation time.

TooPure4U what an amazing post about your son... some times the little steps are the best way, but it is kinda nice when GOD sent little blessings...like an upgraded room.

No Docs yet and still waiting.... Any one from Canada going????
