Jen:

Forgot to add, we are a yes for the DIS meet and a No for Palo. We are already doing Palo with our group of 20 from our church.

Thanks

Yes, you should be able to book at 12:01am! Have fun!

Anyone else have a pile of stuff in a corner (or spare room) for "the cruise" and you keep adding to so that it is slowly taking over!!!! LOL I DO!!!
Or, I run to Target for something else and pick up something for the cruise (so I don't have to buy stuff all at once) and now Target bags are taking over my cruise "pile". Today it was a pop-up hamper for the kids' cabin!

Mommy Poppins, I didn't see us on the latest fish extender list. We are my husband and I and our two kids Darren 12 and Deanna 14. Won't be at Palo though, and probably not magnet exchange either, mostly because I am not sure how to make a magnet!

We were able to book on Sunday and it was working fine at 1230AM when I went to book. I booked Palo for dinner and Brunch and a couple's massage for my husband and I. We are still trying to decide about excursions. SO excited for the trip!

Sorry about that! I added you to the FE list posted above.

Hi again everyone!!

Just an update on possibly booking a Palo group brunch/dinner.

So far, there have only been 7 adults that have said they would be interested. I believe we need to have 12 to be able to book as a group. So, if we dont have some additional people interested, we may not be able to book it.

It is also my understanding that if you have booked a Palo dinner for yourself, once you have been added to the group reservation, your individual prebooked Palo would be cancelled.

I am thinking that everyone should try to make whatever Palo reservations they would like on the 22nd (except for those lucky ones that have already booked!). Then we can reevaluate in December to see if there is enough interested in trying to add a group Palo event.

I would just hate for someone to count on a group Palo and not be able to make a reservation if we do not get enough people.

What does everyone think??

Too funny! This is happening to me as well. Only, we haven't told the kids about the cruise yet, so I have to be a bit more secretive. Our closet is full of boxes on the top shelf that they can't reach and under our bed too. The other day my daughter opened a package that came to the door because she was expecting something. It was snorkel gear, she said "Mom, Amazon sent us someone else's stuff!" I played along and pretended to send it back. Not sure how much longer I can keep it up. I had pirate costumes in the trunk of my car from when Walmart put their Halloween items on sale. She also found those when helping me with groceries, I told her they belonged to my coworker who had forgotten to take them with her. So far she has no clue, but I'm running out of excuses and places to hide things! Can't wait to tell them.

I managed to get Palo dinner and a brunch! So excited. I, unlike some of you, have not been very good about getting cruise items bought and stored. I should do what one poster did and pick something up every time I go to the store. Getting more excited!

Hi everyone,

I was looking for a place to share my joy and excitement and I've found you!

Ellebasi75
Isabelle, Jean-René, Zachary, Éloïse

Zachary 4 years old (almost 5, Feb.18th) and Eloïse will be 3 on January 10th.

This is our first cruise and I can't wait! Looking for information and for excursions, planning the trip to get to Orlando...It's very exciting.

I'd like to know if there's any other kids between 2 and 6 years old speaking French. My kids only speak French and it would be great if they could have other children to talk to. At the same time, it will be a good opportunity for them to learn some English.


Thanks

Bonjour Isabelle,

I started to write in French, then decided that might be a bit rude for everyone else. We are from Ottawa, so not that far away. We have two kids, my daughter will have just turned 5 and my son will almost be 2. Unfortunately, while I understand French and can speak passably (I work in Gatineau for the federal government, so I get by), my husband doesn't speak a lick (he grew up in Florida and knows more Spanish). My daughter is in her first year of school and does one week of English followed by a week of French, so she does have a tiny bit - she'll be able to sing "Tete, epaules, genoux, orteilles" with your kids, and sing songs about the days of the week. While not really set for conversation, she might be able to say a few familiar words. It would probably be a good learning experience for her to actually speak with other French children, though.

Welcome, and it will be exciting to have someone from close to home onboard!

Sandi

I've been waiting all day to start booking reservation for the cruise. The DLC reservation website is down. I hope it comes up soon.

 

[sdjen]

This is so frustrating!! I have been waiting all day too and the site is closed for maintenance. I am also hoping it comes back up!

com_op_2000 - Thanks so much for posting what was open for Palo times. Here's hoping we can get on tonight to book anything!

 

[Garrica]

We're obviously in the same boat. I read on another thread that the site would be down nil 8am Eastern time to load info for the Dream. I feel a bit short changed, but plan to make the 6:45am wake up call to get the booking done MST here in the Rockies. Thanks again for the Palo time listings! Good luck to all and Goodnight.

 

[sdjen]

Hope everyone was able to get on and get what bookings they wanted! I was pretty frustrated with the site being down.

I got up early (6 AM) my time and was able to get a Palo Dinner (night 4) and a Palo Brunch (Day 6) but couldnt get into reserve any excursions at all! The site kept kicking me out -

So, i called the phone number and after about 15 minutes of them trying to figure out what was going on and having me reset about 4 different things on my computer they finally just booked two excursions for me!

I got the Castaway Stingray at 10 AM and the Dolphin Swim at Dolphinaris in Cozumal at 9:15 AM SO EXCITED!!

I would love to hear how everyone else did and what you all booked
