Jeff, thanks for posting the 2008 Navagators. I have been out here lurking for sometime, hoping someone would do that.

Cardidog- you are correct, Southwest opens airfare on August 17, 2010 for dates up to March 11, 2011.
 
FYI guys. I just got an email from Disney that says Start Planning your Shore Excursions today. I am logging in right now to see if they have posted them yet.
 
I just got all excited, I got an email from DCL with the subject line (Start Planning Your Shore Excursions Today) and a link to log in. Ha!! nothing there that wasn't there before.

The email had my res# and a log in feature, it took me right to my reservation with the message that i cannot book anything until 120 days and that shore excursions would be posted shortly Ha!!
 
Thought I would share this with you fine folk. I just got a email from DCL to so I can start planing my excursions. So all you obsevice planers out there check the DCL website.
 

I also got the "plan your adventures" e-mail, but the link did not work. And of course, DCL's website says booking is not yet available. I hope they get things up and working soon! :)
 
We made our final payment today :woohoo::woohoo:

I saw the email about "start planning your shore excursions now" and I was all excited to start planning and there was nothing posted yet :sad2:

Hope everyone is having a good Monday. It has been pretty hot here in Edmonton, Canada lately. Wish I didn't work in an office some days, but of course those are the days DH wished he didn't work outside so I guess what do you do.

I'm sure it's a minor glitch. Today was the excursion release date for Diamond level Castaway club members (those who have sailed 20times or more as concierge level guests). They have a private section on the site where they not only get to book, but get to see unique excursions that are only available to that level. Some of those leaked for this cruise are:

Aruba - The "Aruba, Jamica, ooh I wanna take ya" there excursion that includes a visit to a private beach where you will be seranaded by the Beach Boys.

Costa Rica - The unzip line tour - where you put on anti-gravity boots and ride the zip-lines backwards.

Cabo - The Cabo Wabo Wowbo adventure, where using top secret technology they have the ability to unwipe your memory at the end of the evening so you'll actually remember your visit.

Of course all of these excursions, and the existance of Diamond level Castaway club membership, is all very top secret. So please forget everything you just read.

:rolleyes1
 
Thanks Disney for getting all our hopes up LOL oh well soon enough hopefully we will be able to see excursions. Has anyone ever shopped for jewellery in any of these ports? I am looking for an ammolite ring so hoping there are some good options for shopping. Also about how many cabins are signed up for FE? I am trying to start to get things organized for putting together my FE. Hope everyone is well!
 
Just to take everyones' minds off the excursions, or the lack thereof, I am going to ask a question about transportation. Who has used Prime Time Shuttles? Are they a good choice for transportation from the port to Disneyland?
 
Well, considering we are now officially 10% of the boat (and nearly 11% of the staterooms) we should have just gotten together at the beginning and asked for a group rate :)

:rotfl:

Darn, why didn't we think of that sooner!:lmao:

Me too! I was so sad when I couldn't find the excursions.

Love it! :laughing:

:rotfl2:I got that email too! It feels like Disney is torturing us! Why! Why! Why!

I agree!
 
Hi everyone!

Just thought I would catch up on the thread... still having craziness in our lives so not much time to do anything at this point. We are PIF as of a few weeks ago so that's one good thing!

Hope you have a great week!
 
Does anyone know if they are gonna have 60, 70, or 80's night?
Are we having formal and simi-formal night?
Pirate night or anything else fun, silly or just down right fun?
If anyone has any idea what day were doing what please do tell .....:hippie:
 
Do Not use Prime Time it was a very bad experience gettig to the San Pedro port with them and worse going to DisneyLand with them. Taxi was $80. Prime Time was $50.we are using Disney Transport at $30 a piece.
 
In 2005, the room directly across from us was supposedly taken by a DIS'er. Said DIS'er was actually fairly active in the thread, and then, for whatever reason disappeared off the cruise and never told anyone. The person that ended up in their stateroom was basically bombarded with stuff daily, and unfortunately I was right across the hall acting as DIS central. While most people who accidentally got stuff we're ok with it, from what I heard, these people weren't.

To prevent that, I'm actually going through my list just after the PIF date. I'm going to do 3 things with that PM. First, I will verify if you are still going or not. Second, I will ask if you are participating in Secret Mickey or not. Third, I will ask if you are participating in FE or not.

Finally, as staterooms are very VERY much subject to change, I plan to post the list outside my stateroom AFTER Castaway Cay. Prior to CC departure, please come to my SR and leave a note if you have moved from what is currently on the list. I also will take full advantage of Concierge and have copies of the list printed out for everyone to grab if they need. I *may* hold our first sci-fi movie showing and Cat 2 open house that evening to encourage people to stop by.

Please don't plan on distributing stuff prior to that so we make sure no one gets stuff they don't want.

I would have been quite happy to receive gifts like that, though very guilty someone somewhere wasn't getting them who should have. I wouldn't have been funny about it at all though. Folks are strange.
 
Got the DCL email too, went to look at excursions and nothing, nada!!! DCL got in front of themselves again!!:lmao: One hand doesn't know what the other is doing to be sure.
 
Sadly I didn't even get the email (insert sad/pouty face here LOL)

I hope they get them posted soon as I need to do my homework.

I have been told that right now it should be this Friday afternoon. Obviously that can change, but that's the current info.
