Michelle was FINALLY able to get her information updated this afternoon.

2/3/08 cruisers are reporting that they are being assigned their rooms (had gty rooms before their assignments).

Has anyone gotten their assignment yet?

 

[SnowWhite2]

Hey all! I just posted info for our first DIS meet on our Yahoo website. Please go over and take a look and sign up! We are planning for Saturday at 2:30 in the Promenade Lounge. See you there!

26 days and counting.....

What is our weather supposed to be like?

Anyone upgraded yet?

 

[PhotoLisa]

I don't think the guarantees have been assigned yet . . . at least my daughter's room nor my room have been assigned.

The 2/3 Wonder cruise is already reporting upgrades and assignments. I would think we'll hear something this week. My thinking is that at 3 weeks, they should begin printing documents to FEDEX them out to be in our hands at the 2 week mark.

Thanks. I have been checking everyday. We booked w/ DVC points and we are anxious to see if we get upgraded like we did on our last cruise.

My mom had a saying when I was little -- something about "a watched pot doesn't boil" and I've been guilty of checking several times per day if my room assignment has been posted.

The rule is when you can't check on it continuously, that is when your assignment will be made. So . . . for me, that will be tomorrow when I'm at the LSU/Ohio State game. I'll be leaving for New Orleans around lunch and won't be back until well after midnight and then have to work my photos to get them to the paper before 5 AM. I won't have time to think about my room assignment so it'll probably get posted while I'm not looking!

...our reservation shows us having the cabin # we requested (we had this cabin on our last cruise). Yay!

Anyone from the West Coast returning from MCO later in the day?


We are flying on US Air and as has been the case for the last several cruises they only have 2 direct flights back to PHX.

One is very early in the morning and there is no way we could make that flight.


The flight we take leave around 5PM.

Our first cruise we spent way too much time sitting around MCO.

Our next cruise we did the tour around the cape air force base but it didnt eat enough time. It was interesting though and all I could think of was how the place still looked like it was in the 60's and I was expecting to run into Tony Nelson.


Then I learned of the day rates at the Hyatt in the airport. Thats the greatest thing for anyone who has to burn time after the cruise. You can relax whilr waiting for the flight home.

The rate has gone up a little, its at $89.00 now. I have a day room reserved for us when we get off this cruise.

BTW, I have a Western booked for 2009 already!!! I'll book a dummy reservation onboard on this trip for the 2010 cruise.

I know that we will not be upgraded as there are no available cabins in cat 4-6 that hold 4 people. The ship must be pretty full.

Pixie dust for all of you that are waiting for room assignments and upgrade.

This needs bumped to the first page....my gosh we are leaving in less than a month! Let's make sure those last minute folks find us!

I went online to check and I am assigned to the same room

Did I go to the right place to check my assignment? I went to my reservations. Perhaps not everyone gets bumped up? You are a very experienced Disney Cruiser...
What is your #1 piece of advice for a first time Disney Cruiser such as myself?

Buy an over-the-door shoe holder to place on your bathroom door to hold all your toiletries, makeup, suntan lotion, etc.

Bring a power strip on the ship with you because there aren't many plugs in the room.

Bring air freshener to help diffuse the bathroom stinch that can be smelled on occassion.

If you have children, decorate your door so they know which one is yours . . . all the rooms look alike.

Unpack half the clothes you're going to attempt to put in your suitcase . . . you won't need all of that stuff!

Go to the disboard meet at 2:30 on the Promenade Lounge because it makes going to everything else on the ship more fun. You'll have many new friends to sit with in shows, wine tastings, in the pool areas, etc.

Those are the biggies!

Dollar General had a good bit of Disney goodies today when we went there today . . . mini playing cards, color books, pens, stickers.

Family Dollar had a few things too!
