Feb 20, 2011 - Presidents' Week - Mexican Riviera

[Dishy24]

Hi Everyone,
I am going to cancel my Palo dinner reservation for Monday 2/21 @ 6:30. (Day 2 -- Sea Day). It is for 2 people. Before I let it go, is there anyone here who wants it? We can go into reservations at the same time so as soon as I release it, you can snag it up. If you want it send me an email (Dishy24@aol.com) so we can coordinate this!

Sixty days out and just got our GTY room assignment. No upgrade so we're glad we went for what we wanted.

I'm so excited, I checked my Jetblue flights today into Long Beach and they went down 92.00 per person!! I called Jetblue and they adjusted our price, so now we have a travel credit of 552.00

Looks like they have a great sale going on now, so if anyone has booked with them, check out the prices!

It was such a nice surprise!

Wow!! What a great Christmas present!!

Good for you!!

 

[DVC_Chris]

Wow, that price drop is great. I was just happy about the $40 some odd bucks I got back from a reduction in government fees.

 

[samily]

Yes, I am happy - I told my DH that now I can start planning another vacation!

The credit for government fees sounds good too! Did everyone get a reduction for this? I'll have to check my CC.

 

[LKFan]

Just checking..... Based on the info on page 1, do we have 20 families participating in the FE?

Hi,
I am also traveling on the Disney Wonder 2/20/2011. I will be traveling with my husband and 6 year old daughter. Would love to be included in the FE is room is still available.

Hi everyone!

We're late to the game but made our reservations yesterday for the cruise. I'm excited because I never thought I'd be able to convince my dh to go on a cruise and he's the one that actually suggested it!

Anyway our group is myself, dh, dd (6), ds (8). This is our first cruise so we're all very excited.

Logistics wise we've booked Las Caletas and dh and the kids are booked for the Dolphin Encounter in Cabo (we got the last 3 spots so mom gets to sit on the side and watch). Not sure what we are doing in Mazatlan if anything. dh is pretty content to just stay on the ship and use the pool.

 

[DVC_Chris]

I will tell you, during my 8 hour drive home today, and the 90 minutes I had to spend digging out my house, I just kept on thinking, less than eight weeks!

WELCOME! We are doing the dolphins in Cabo too. DH also has said he doesn't think he will leave the boat in Mazatlan.

Welcome! While I can't speak for the coordinator of the FE, our final list hasn't quite been posted just yet, so maybe?

I just wanted to say HI, glad to see new people on the boards for this cruise. I have a countdown on my phone, I am too excited! I need to finish making my FE gifts though.....which techinically, besides buying the materials....I haven't even started yet!

 

[talie]

silence - We're from Davis so we're neighbors.

Davis is actually my "hometown" so to speak, I spent the first 12 years of my life there!

Thanks for the hello. I know I'm so excited. Everytime I see a poster or a commerical for Disney, I get this huge smile on my face.
I just booked the Mexican Cooking Experience for Puerta Vallarta and dinner reservations for Palo. Not sure what we're doing in Cabo and probably won't leave the ship in Mazatlan. Although, I heard some good things about Stone Island.

Hi everyone -
I got a little overwhelmed with the holidays so I'm just getting back to finalizing the FEs. We hosted a Christmas brunch at my house for my family and we had 48 people this year (I come from a large family) and I had to get my daughter off on an extended European trip.

I added you to the list bchdreamer - could you send me your cabin number and let me know if you have any food allergies, anything you are celebrating, any characters your daughter likes?

DVC Chris - could you send me your parent's cabin number?
AuntAmy and LKFan - if you have your cabiin numbers yet could you send them to me as well?

I have email addresses for some people and will send the completed list to them via email sometime today. I'll PM the list to everyone else but it won't be as pretty as the email. If you haven't sent me an email address and want an Excel or PDF copy of the list please PM me an email address (please don't post email addresses on the board - spammers are always looking for email addresses). I will do my best to format the list in mail message format if I don't have your email address and will have paper copies of the list on the ship so everyone has a final cleaned up list with any room changes.

We missed the storm here in Rochester but it has gotten so cold. Can hardly wait to leave the frigid notheast. My duaghter made it back to NYC just before the storm hit and it looks like she timed her flight to Paris ok. The airlines are getting back to normal.

Our final FE count is:
22 rooms
21 women
16 men
20 girls (13 are between 7 and 10 yrs, 7 are between 11 and 17 years)
10 boys (7 are between 5 and 9 yrs, 3 are between 11 and 13 yrs)

Happy New Year to everyone!

Elaine

Hi everyone, hope all had a great holiday!

Welcome aboard to the newcomers!

DVC Chris, I feel your pain - we are in RI and got about 16", some of the drifts were to the roofs of the cars! Definitely ready for the cruise now!

 

[silence]

Happy New Year to everyone!

Elaine

I got my list today Elaine. Thank you once again for coordinating for all of us!

Glad your daughter made it home ok. Besides the rain, we are pretty fortunate weather wise here in Sacramento.

 

[minie_meese]

There are a few cabin number updates to the FE list. I will send an update out later today. If I don't have your email address and you want an Excel and/or PDF copy just PM your email address.

Glad your daughter made it home ok. Besides the rain, we are pretty fortunate weather wise here in Sacramento.

I am thrilled and a bit surprised everything went so well for her. Not only did she make it to NYC just before the storm on Sunday, but her flight to Paris yesterday included 3 legs - LaGuardia to DC National, DC to Charlotte and Charlotte to Paris - all 3 legs were on time and she arrived in Paris this morning right on time. I talked to her yesterday and she said many of the streets in NYC had not even been plowed and there were still 60 buses stuck in the snow. She was definitely lucky.
