FEBRUARY 14, 2009 (very early roll-call!)

Snow What.. or anyone else who had early dinner at Animators... do you have any good pictures from the last night at dinner during the servers celebration? When they all marched around carrying the flags?

We also had that dinner (I believe). Here are some pics that I took!

Jodi-
From the angle of your picture, it looks like your table was right next to ours...I can see my husband's cousin's big head in your pic (red shirt)
We were the big table of 14!

Snow What - We were actually table 60 but I think they are all mixed up. Here is another pic I took. I thought you might like it! (The two people in the picture at the bottom are my son and husband. Hubby looks a bit weird in this one!)

You are a planning GOD Unfortunately, I think we'll be pushing ours off until Feb '11 OUCH! Just writing that is painful!
Anyone going to book the $99? I already booked a date in August & just hope that it isn't one of the blackout dates .

I have booked Nov. 22nd but have a feeling that they will black it out (it is Thanksgiving week!). I am keeping my fingers crossed that we can use the $99 offer for it! If not, I am afraid we wont get to use it.

We are bouncing back October 22. When I called DCL they told me that there weren't any black out dates. I am hoping that is true! I can't believe how crazy we are being going back!!!! $99 really means $600 for all of use PLUS at least $1200 plane fair PLUS transfers PLUS sneaking a day in at the park PLUD the hotel stay to do that!

all for ONLY $99!!!

 

[Jodijo]

My travel agent called yesterday as well and you are correct. They are not going to black out any cruises. However, they did say that they are going to limit the number or bounce back offers per cruise. Good luck everyone!!!

I too was looking at going to the parks after our cruise. It is going to add up to a lot more than $99 per person. (The way I look at it, the $99 offer is a good way to convince DH we should take another trip! I mean - How could we pass it up? I just wont show him the finial total! )

Oh my goodness!!! When can we book the bouncebacks? I mean what day do they open it? I thought it was in April. Did I miss the boat already??? You know what I mean....

Or are you guys booking ahead and then hoping to transfer it? And can that be done?

Teach me your ways, oh wise ones!

I emailed my travel agent and here is her response:

"I called DCL and the answer the representative gave me was the safe Disney answer. You can book now, but the $99 offer will have limited staterooms on each sailing so there's no guarantee that your rooms will be available when the offer is released on April 6.

However, the way I look at it, the worst that can happen is that you book and pay the deposit now and lock in the rooms you'd like (the voucher is good for the same category you booked on the original cruise) and if the rooms are not available with the offer you can either move your deposit to another date or be refunded if there are no other dates that would work for you. Of course, if you'd prefer to wait until April 6 we can do that as well!"

With that response, we booked! Hope this helps!

Yeah, what JodiJo said!! Call Tracy @ DU, she'll hook you up! We did exactly what JodiJo did for the August sailing!
Lemme know what you come up with! Also, I'll be emailing you more pix soon!!

What a month Back!

Got Home on the 25th, Then the 1st of March while waiting on DD's Hubby to get back from Korea we had 8 1/2 inches of snow. Had to leave him at Airport could not get there. He gets a friend to bring him home takes 3 1/2 Hrs to drive 50 miles. Then on the 8th the water heater bursts and had to have American Restoration here to dry out the house. Plumber found a problem with the water pressure regulator 105 psi when it should be 55 psi. so $ 1200 later. On the 9th DD and Son in law left to find a house in Texas for a week , so Ken and I had 3 kids here for a week by ourselves. In the mean time we found out our dog had to have surgery today so she is still at the vet but no cancer thankfully. The insurance company only will pay for the laundry room. So we had to pay for reflooring the kitchen and bathroom that need to be replaced too. Yesterday we moved everything out of the kitchen into the Livingroom and dining room. What a mess. My Brother in law can put down porceline tile so today we started preparing to put tile in my Kitchen Bath and Laundry room. It will take us about 2 weeks since we are trying to live in the house while fixing everything. I am not a carpenter but learning to use a drill since backer board needs a screw every 6 to 8 inches. So I will learn, Ken can't get down on his knees so it is up to Brother in law and me..... this should be interesting but it will look nice when done.

Talk to you all when I can. Hope everyone is warming up and getting ready for spring
