From WDW to DL With Love - January 06, 2011 part 4

I was afraid that was the case (while secretly hoping it wasn't) It looks like I will have a Plan B ready with the Cove available too.

Be sure you get one of the Cove Cafe cards as well if you plan on frequenting there often. I think you buy 5 coffee drinks, the sixth one is free.

They're usually pretty good about giving them out, but just in case they don't, be sure to ask.

I just ordered 4 t-shirts from Vista Prints, have never ordered from them but read here the quality was acceptable. I uploaded this great image (see post 79 by Brooklyn). I found a pretty good price, $29.11 for 4 with image upload and shipping. http://www.couponcabin.com/coupons/vistaprint/ has a number of promotion codes you can review. I used the first one, the 50% off. The image is now on their files, 3TDZ4-DA412-3X1, so if you want to order it from them, you won't be charged the image upload fee (if there is a problem accessing it let me know and I can have you use my account password). val

Val, could I get your info...I can't seem to access the image

Thanks,

I haven't tried it yet. Is it pretty good? I guess most coffee would be better than Disney stuff though!!

I did feel that room service coffee and dining room coffee was slightly better than the self serve stuff, but that could be because it was a bit stronger.

I agree, the dining room and room service is better. ANYTHING is better than deck 9's offerings.

For morning coffee, you can get a pot from room service. it isn't great, but it's not bad either. It really does matter who makes nescafe that day, and it seems much more consistent in the dining room and room service.

Well, I went to the chiropractor this morning for a pinched nerve in my back - having pain in my neck and horrible headache When I started with the migrain last week I think that was just the beginning. She said it would take at least four treatments for relief, but I do feel somewhat better since I got home. I am just taking it easy this afternoon which I don't seem to have a problem doing!
Be careful and don't do too much, even when you first start to feel better, no relapses as you have a cruise to take

I did try to sort clothes - before cruise, cruise daytime, cruise evening, cruise excursion, cruise formal, Palo, after cruise, & staying at my daughter's house. Right now it looks like I am moving out of my house! I don't think it is going to fit in my car!!

Since I put hooks over the spare bedroom door to organize and things are falling off the hooks, I think that means it is time to narrow things down a wee bit, but where to start! That can wait for another day, Scarlet!

Too funny but I have the same issue. I use an excel spreadsheet with each night and what to wear so I don't end up short - or with more than I need. I have a tendency to pack until the bag is full which is not always the thing to do.

It has been a while since I have been on a Disney Cruise and I was wondering if there were any coffee lovers on here that might have an opinion on the current state of DCL coffee. The coffee at Disneyland is very weak so if the coffee is the same on the boat then I will think about bringing my own (probably french press).

Any thoughts?

There was a thread on the main board about french presses just recently - my guess is if you have a small one, bring it. The Cove is good b ut it requires getting dressed and getting there.

OK Ditto me. But its quite possible I am just not doing it right. I didn't order t-shirts on the TA for just this reason. But the design is soo cute that I would like to order DH and I matching t-shirts. Can someone enlighten this Homer on the specifics of ordering? I checked the sight but the image isn't coming up. Sorry. Sometimes DH asks me if there's hope for me.

Ditto on the overpacking part. But this time I only have to worry about getting there as we live near LA. So HA! I'm playing the part of a FL resident.


Nicole? the bracelet too. That would look so beautiful on white gold or silver. You know you probably just started a whole new trend.

I did the spreadsheet thing for our Baltic cruise this summer and it ended up being overkill for me. I ended up with too much stuff b/c I was too meticulous. This time I think I'm just going to wing it, keeping in mind that I will add t-shirts as we go and that I will probably get lazy as the cruise goes on so I need as much dressy stuff.

Ok ...

You no long have to see my updates!

If you did sign up and do not have your info in a PM-please let me know...I may have sent it to the wrong Diser.

Thanks!

Did it say "low resolution" on your order? I can upload and design the shirt and 50% off no problem, but it says it wont come out that clear? Just curious

Something I struggled with was the weight of my suitcases. Just because I could fit it in didn't make it ok, even with Virgin America allowing 70 pounds for the first case. I love bling on my clothes and have a lot of beaded tops and formal dresses. The long formal dresses with all the beads weigh in at almost 6 pounds each. What I found worked was rather then filling a suitcase and weighing it, I fold all my clothes, put them in large ziplock bags and put a suitcase worth into laundry baskets. Then I just weigh the laundry basket. It much easier on me and the clothes, don't need to keep opening and closing the suitcase. Plus the pets freak out as soon as I bring those dreaded cases (they know the cases mean we are leaving them again) out so I can leave that until the last minute. val

I know what you mean about pets getting excited when the suitcases come out. Jasmine jumps in it! Of course this time she is going, at least to dd! I try to get the suitcases to the spare bedroom where I pack while she is outside and now with all of the clothes there hopefully she won't get too excited. We used to have a dog suitcase and everytime it came out of the closet our dog went crazy. Jasmine has a dog tote bag, but she does not seem to get too wild over it. She is so used to flying that she just goes with the flow. This time we will be driving to South Carolina so it will be her first long car ride in several years! I hope she is up for it! She is a good traveler so I don't anticipate any problems. The biggest problem will be when I leave her for such a long time. My dd says she pines for me.

Hi! I'm wondering if anyone can give me some names of Limo companies that you would trust to take you from the port in LA to Disneyland?

Thanks!

We booked transfers through Disney. It might be a little more but they take care of the luggage and drop you off right at your Disneyland hotel.


Just got a call from Delta. We are going from LA to LV to visit a couple we met on the 08 PC cruise.- well our flight from LV to Orlando has been cancelled and there are no nonstop flights. If I didn't have the Vouchers from Delta I would have booked with SW. First they gave us a flight through Atlanta and then they called back and said there was not enough time for us to make the connection to Orlando. They gave us another flight again through Atlanta. I hate Atlanta to change planes - it is a zoo there. So right now I told them I will have to think about it. The vouchers pay for the flight but the luggage is the problem . We will each have two pieces and we will have to pay for them twice! - Once from LA to LV and then LV to Orlando. It's a no win situation.

Sounds good, but won't work for me - I'm staying at the Candy Cane Inn.

Good choice. We love the Candy Cane!

Cinder gets anxious when I drag out the suitcases. She starts crying and jumping on me. I feel so bad for her because she was abandoned by her prior owners. Last week after I returned from San Francisco, she slept on me the first night. That is what she did the first couple of weeks we had her too as she was afraid we would leave her I just love that baby so much I could never leave her. I wish she knew that Momma wouldn't ever leave her forever. Yes, I am crazy about my dog!

As far as packing, DH and I just made a list of our suitcases and carry-ons. I know we are going to max out on our luggage of 8 checked. I wish I could be a lighter packer but i can't.

I called Vista and here is what they said. You need to save the image on your computer. Then go to the cabincoupon site. click on the promo code you want to use. It will take you to vista. Then you'll need to sign into my account, using my e-mail address rmvandy@aol.com and the password I gave it, disboards. Once you've selected your order be sure to change the mailing name and address to your name. PM me you have trouble or give vista a call 866-614-8004. Good Luck Val

I had an aunt who went all over Europe with one small suitcase. She should have taught me how to pack! I just cannot seem to get the nack of it. I even bought a lighter weight suitcase!

I have promised myself I will try very hard this time and I am sure dd will help me since I am leaving from her house. She is so efficient, and she did not get it from her mom! Come to think of it, not from her dad either. I guess she picked up on her own...good training!

At least I have some time to work on it! Jasmine has to pack too! Little allergy dog has to take a starter amount of dog food. Liz already has 4 bags of her treats so that should last a long time. Eukanuba quit making her food so we had to try someting different and so far so good. I hope it keeps up okay. It is just like a little child with her and the allergies!

Just decided today to go on the Dream with friends from the Mediterranean Cruise. We are going December 18 - 22. I can not believe I made that decision. They are so great and we have had so much fun together. They came to my dd to visit last summer.

Just spent 4 weeks in Europe as a family of 4. We had 2 suitcases for all of us (we also had backpacks for toys/books/snacks etc and a computer bag for the laptops) but I was happy and amazed that we managed to get everything into 2 suitcases. So was the check-in lady at Virgin Atlantic

Not gonna be packing that light on this trip

How do DCL transfers work? We have never done them before, and on the last WBPC we had a limo transfer. Do you take your bags with you or leave them somewhere and a dcl deal with them?
