Did everyone get their dinner and show times?

We have Main Dining at 6:00 with the 5:00 show for the first leg of the cruise and are wait listed for the same on this cruise. I'm not to keen on the idea of having the show before dinner at 5:00, that seems so early, but then again, we will have the whole night open for the smaller shows etc.

We hit double digits on our trip countdown!!!! 99 days and we begin our 2 week trip....soooo excited!

I've found out my dining and show times are Main Dining at 6 o'clock and a 9 o'clock show.

Maybe we will see you at dinner!!! 9:00 show time, what do you think? So strange to have the big gap between. Might be nice to see the other shows etc.

We purchased our plane tickets today! We are flying in on Delta with the extended family. The trip is seeming more real everyday, I CAN'T WAIT!!

That would be fun - if the Fates of Rotational Dining allow it! The big gap did seem a little odd at first, but I think I'll enjoy having a bit of time to walk off my dinner. I was worried that I'd end up with the later dinner time as I don't like to go to bed too soon after eating. Do they allow footie pajamas on adults in the theater?

I'm excited, too! Got my tickets on Southwest yesterday and am so happy that they'll be doing onboard check-in now!

Oops, I totally goofed, it was last night at 9:00 that I could make reservations ! There was really nothing left . Not too upset, my DH didn't really want to do Palo on this cruise. I did make a dinner ressie at Palo on the first night (Port Canaveral), it was this or Castaway Cay night.

What is onboard check in?

Similar to resort check-in. Your boarding passes are printed out and delivered to your stateroom and your luggage is delivered to your airline.

Ah, well...at least you got a dinner res! As a 'beginner', I will most likely be out of luck.

We will be joining you all on the 2/10 cruise! It is our first Disney cruise, and the first cruise ever with one of our children. We are bringing our DS5. This is a special trip for only him. Our younger two kiddos will be staying home and enjoying time with Grandma.

So far, I've made reservations for dinner at Palo and Remy. However, I just cancelled the Remy reservation because we really don't want to pay the extra $75 right now. Maybe next cruise. I tried to book a massage but all of the convenient times have been booked up already. Oh well, it's going to be so much fun anyway! We can't wait! Looking forward to planning with everyone!

If this is your 1st Disney Cruise, how were you able to book Palo and Remy already? I thought you had to be a member of the Castaway Club to book early...

Don't give up hope if the online reservations are full. Be sure to go and check as soon as you board the ship, they seem to always be able to accommodate (on the Magic it was Rockin' Bar D).

I'm just going with the mindset that no matter where I dine or what activity I'm able to do - it will all be new to me and therefore exciting!

The wait was excruciating, but I hung in there and watched the float out!! So cool!

What did you think of the new horn? I like it!!! If anyone else has not heard it, here is a good video of the float out with the horn.

I loved it!!! I'd been trying to avoid hearing any of the ship horns to save as a 'surprise', but now I can't stop watching these videos and enjoying! I feel like such a dope because I tear up every time!
