Fantasy February 16, 2013 - 7 Night Western Cruise Meet

[Disney1430]

Hope you feel better! Just got over it. Not fun!

Has anyone requested a certain dining rotation? Last cruise on the Magic, I liked being in Lumieres for the formal nights.

Yes, I had my travel agent add this rotation request: AERAEER

If we get it, it works best with our overall plans.

For reference the rotations and nights on our itinerary are:
RAERAAE
AERAEER
ERAERRA

R=Royal Court
A=Animator's Palate
E=Enchanted Garden

Night 1 - Rotation menu /Crush if in AP
Night 2 - Rotation menu [formal night] /Crush if in AP
Night 3 - Rotation menu /Crush if in AP
Night 4 - Prince & Princess menu / Animation if in AP
Night 5 - Pirate menu
Night 6 - Captain's Gala [semiformal night] / Animation if in AP
Night 7 - See You Real Soon menu / Animation if in AP

We asked for Rotation 3 which is ERAERRA

After reading about upgrades, I checked it out and found a number of Cat4 rooms available. Was able to upgrade from Cat5b to Cat4b for only $189.00. Can't wait to see the extra room. Last year on Magic it was kind of tight with 14 y.o.DD and 12 y.o. DS. I think this will be well worth it.

That's why we book Cat 8 it gives you the cabin size of Cat 4, we just don't have a verandah instead we have a lg port hole and a bench. ~ but the extra 58 sq feet of cabin space is worth not having the verandah. I might check though what the upgrade charge would be to cat 4

Most cruisers don't reliaze when they book that the total sq footage they tell you also includes the verandah area.

I just requested the same today. I like the idea of being formal in Royal Court!

uggg... I am sick as a dog!

I hope you feel better soon! Matthew has some cold symptoms, but nothing serious. I'd rather get it out of the way now than in 3 weeks.

Plan on working on my FE gifts this weekend and having Matthew try on summer clothes and get things put aside to pack. We're busy the first 2 weekends in Feb, so need to get it done this weekend. 12 more days of work before we leave on the 13th

I didn't realize I could request a rotation for dinner! DD keeps saying that she hopes we get to eat in Animator's Palate 3 times... Since us grown ups don't have a preference, I'm hoping I can put in and get her request. How often have you gotten your dinner rotation requests?

This is the first time we requested a rotation. It seems that they usually take care of requests! I can't imagine a lot of people put in a rotation request.

I am going to call first thing tomorrow... I love DISboards! Learn something new everyday! Thanks!

who do you call about dining requests? I have no TA as I am a dvc member and booked part of the cruise through my points

We also booked with our DVC Points. I called member services. They said they would mark it on the reservation but they couldn't guarantee it.

GOOD MORNING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS! WE SET SAIL IN 3 WEEKS! THAT IS 21 DAYS!

First off this is my 100th post!!!! YA ME!

Secondly, Yup - That's all there is too it - or you can call the cruise line directly (800) 951-3532 (even if you have a TA)

We have always gotten what we requested, but there are more cruisers requesting ~ so I always tell my family the request was made but NO guarantee's

Congrats on your 100th post! I was very excited to earn my ears and finally become a mouseketeer not that long ago!

Sounds like I might have a chance then! I won't even tell DD, I'll let her believe she magically got her wish if the request is honored!

I created the Google doc and have tried to keep it synced with your list. I checked yesterday and don't see the missing info mentioned above, so I think it has been fixed. If anyone sees anything wrong /missing, either post or message me with specifics, or go ahead and change the file.

It's probably a good idea for everyone to check (and fix) their own info if you get a chance. I don't trust myself to have all the details right!

Thank you both! The goggle doc is corrected now. I appreciate your help and response!

 

[momtoleasawav]

well that was easy, called guest service and put in the request for dining. took about two minutes. Thanks for the number!

Great idea

Can't believe we are 3 weeks away Now if I can only find the time to pack without the kids figuring out that we are going on vacation

Its been a while so I will repost here (not to mention that I am bored while I recover from the flu).

Fish Extender list is below. No change since last post.

I have changed the primary sort of this list from stateroom number to section (forward/midship/aft) then stateroom number. I have done this as the length of the fantasy is so long, it makes sense to deliver by section than by deck. This comes from experience as I think it took me as long to deliver 25 FE gifts on the Dream as it took me to deliver 125 FE gifts on the Magic. The distance between midship and aft is crazy long.

I will have a dry erase board and extra copies of the FE list (room 6566) - if you change staterooms or take an upgrade, please write it on my board.
