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

[Tami0220]

If it tells me to try again in 20 mins, do I really have to wait 20 min or can I frantically keep trying??

I had the same problem when I tried booking at 105 days... WAIT THE FULL 20 MINS!!

I think it resets the time every time you try and login.

Tami - I'm not sure, I'd just keep trying. Good Luck !

I got in without any problems, and half an hour later I have everything I wanted booked. The only minor point is our Palo dinner reservation is at 9pm on the 16th, but at least our tour the following day doesn't start until the early afternoon. oh, and there were no brunch openings. I'm not too worried about that - I was more keen on getting a dinner spot anyway.

Other than that, it's all good ! YAY ! I start work in an hour to help pay for it all, now LOL !

Thanks to you all for your help.

Cheers,
Sally

I got in once at 9:04 and selected Palo at 6:30 on the 17th, but how do I know if it saved it? I heard other people talking about saving it. Uggh! I saw that there was no brunch available, but I hoping to get in with one of the groups that is making reservations. Palo dinner was the only thing I was interested in. You are right, most the openings were for 9pm

 

[Shoshie]

Thank you for offering to check with your DH. val

We're good! I'll PM you with our info!

Tami - there were quite a few Palo openings at earlier times on various port days, but I didn't want to have to be in a rush to get myself "done up" if one of our tours was running late. I'll live with what we have

I think you need to have saved the reservation before you log out / are booted off, but don't forget I'm a complete novice at this ! I about had a heart attack when i clicked on Spa/Fitness, then decided I didn't want any of them, so clicked "cancel" only to see that none of my excursion bookings had been saved ! Turns out on the following screen, they all popped up again.

I think I need a stiff drink before work to calm the nerves LOL. (all this talk of alcohol makes me sound awful, doesn't it ? In reality, I only drink about once a month these days - cruises exclusive )

I'd best go get changed. 'night all !

Cheers,
Sally

Gosh,, it hadnt saved my palo an hour later. I got back in, it didnt save my Palo, but the spot was still open. So thanks to Val's planning I didnt have to worry about excursions. I printed my confirmation just in case. Thanks ev eryone

I am going to try and get to Disneyland Picnic area on Sunday a little early. If you are planning on going..can you let me know so I can try and save tables if possible. I am hoping to bring a couple lime green balloons to help pick us out!

You can just post here or send a PM....

Thanks!

Looks like my DH and I won't be able to make it after all to the So Cal meet this Sunday. Have fun, everybody!

 

[DCLtravler]

Way to go Rangers! Now...Let's go Giants!

AMEN to that!!!! Did anyone watch the game on Wed? Wow, what a game!!

 

[willturner]

I did my reservations tonight also. What a horrible system, I was ready to chuck my computer across the room lol.

I got a Palo dinner at 9:00 on Aruba night. It is late but I think it will be perfect if we plan properly. Coming from the west it is really only 7:00 for us . Who am I kidding? We are going to be exhausted and going to bed on a very full tummy. Oh well.

I was disappointed there wasn't any brunch or high tea available? I was able to login right at 12 EST and they were never there. I thought they held some back for each level of cruiser?

I'm glad to get this portion of my planning out of the way . . . I can't believe how quickly the time is starting to pass!

 

[DCLtravler]

You too, I get to go home monday, I am usually then of for a week, but next week I am locuming for 3 nights to pay for the dream deposit,
Well, not really, but its much less painful to think that.

I like your attitude...that is such a positive way to look at it! You should bring the Castaway Club CD that they give us with the horn at the beginning and play it each time you do an extra shift =0)

ARUBA SAIL & SNORKEL UPDATE
Where can we go for a sailboat ride, lunch, snorkeling and some fishing in the most beautiful coastline this side of Venezuela? Tranquilo, a 43-foot charter sailboat in Aruba. With 14 or more people, Tranquilo will sail us an hour south from the Wonder to a snorkeling or dockside playtime, with the option of fishing, too. Snorkel in waist high water or choose to try a different type of snorkeling, drift snorkeling. The Tranquilo will launch a small boat and accompany “drift snorkeling” passengers as the gentle currents carry us through deeper water, allowing us to relax as we watch for exotic fish and corals in “Aruba’s most virgin reef.” Try both.
Cost: $75 each, plus tip. Includes sail, snorkel equipment, fishing, beverages and lunch. For additional details see posting #1 on page 1.
UPDATE The following 4 cruiser families (8 individuals) have expressed strong interest in joining the tour, 6 more individuals are needed to confirm the booking. PM if you would like more info or wish to come with us on this exciting ride. Val

Val, my DH and I would love to join in on the Aruba excursion. It's sound like the best one offered. You guys did a great job putting it together.

We have friends booking the cruise on Sunday morning so will see if they are interested also.

Hello all from Old Key West. Had a great B2B. A great couple of days here so far at WDW. Going to the DVC thing at Bay Lake Tower tomorrow. Also have 'Ohana for diner. Then Going to the Magic Kingdom till 3 A.M. That's right 3 A.M. Jeff if you are on here at all and see this post, are you working? Awesome job tonight by the Rangers. Now I hope the Phillies have two more wins in them.

If it tells me to try again in 20 mins, do I really have to wait 20 min or can I frantically keep trying??

Jeff isn't working this weekend. He's working Friday night (the 29th)

If anyone is interested, there is a deal on Groupon for Orlando this weekend for half price admission to Dinosaur World in Plant City. It's $4 for kids and $6 for adults. I thought this might be a good idea for a meet that is a little more centrally located between Orlando and Tampa (although a little closer to Tampa). We would just have to figure out when would be the best time. My family is able to do just about any Saturday except for the one after Thanksgiving. Let me know what you think. Everyone would have to make the purchase by the end of the day tomorrow to get the discount.
