Halloween 2011. Oct 29th on the Magic

[glindamood]

Found us on page 4 again. We certainly are a quiet group.

RAINING here, I need to go to the bank, hate to waste the gas to drive 2 blocks but don't want to spend the rest of my afternoon looking like a drowned rat either. At least it isn't beating on the window anymore. And, I should be most thankful that I don't live where all the horrible storms have been - how awful, I can not even imagine.

hola gail!! I just subscribe to the thread so I can find it easier..

well I started my pre trip report for this cruise and I'm already driving myself crazy...

I booked a chef mickey's breakfast for oct 28th, 11:20am. I already requested the day off so we plan to arrive to WDW around 10:30ish..and after we eat we will probably head over to Magic Kingdom., then of course MNSHHP...I'm like dying to buy the tickets already for MNSHHP.. but am waiting to AFTER I Pay for my cruise.

I almost booked the Cinderella's Royal Table but I'm going to do this for our christmas trip...so we'll do CRT then MVMCP.

and I really really should start thinking about FE gifts...I'm just having a hard time trying to figure out how to do what I want to do!!!

I subscribed as well - we are just quiet. After being on the PC cruise when we went though 3 or 4 threads because it was so active, it just takes getting used to.

Hi, my name is Gail and I am addicted to DCL and the DIS. Actually, I couldn't think of a better addiction.

Congrats Sumlee!

Your baby is so cute. I know how excited you are! I'm a Labor and Delivery Nurse. Hope all went well which it looks like it did. You'll remember that moment forever.

Congrats again!

Gail! I'm right there with you!!! but like I said I think everybody is going to be on the Dream this week....maybe we'll have the ship to our selves!!!!!!

 

[glindamood]

I am all for a less crowded ship but my guess is that DCL will do Florida resident (good for you), military and cast member rates to fill the ship. We shall see.

 

[MommaMouse411]

I hope so...ahhh to be on a verandah again...

 

[glindamood]

I just don't understand why they can't have Michigan resident rates??? Sounds logical to me anyway.

DH is off working with the Scouts at Culvers to raise money for the troop which left me home to pack for the weekend. This weather is so weird, it makes it hard to pack - we never even got to 50 today but 60's to 70's to 80's over the weekend. What a range to try and plan for - and then there is the gamble that the weatherman will even be right.

Have a great weekend everyone - safe travels if you are traveling and if not - enjoy home, hearth and maybe the BBQ grill.

no travelling here as I have to work on Monday..

its going to be hot and muggy for us in FLA!!!

Safe trip Gail!!

 

[glindamood]

Made it home safe and sound early Monday evening. I have my dogs all back and things are good here. It even cooled off some.

DH and I have been kicking around our plan for brunch - makes it hard not knowing when the Castaway Club gathering is. Guess I will just book it for later in the morning and take it as it is. 30 more days and I can book!!!

Have a good week everyone - it is hump day already.

 

[MommaMouse411]

I know you lucky you can book early...I think I can book mid july...I think...I forgot what my TA said. but I have it in my head if I paid mid july i can book then.

I am going to be so nervous when its August!!!

Well it doesn't seem like our FE list is going to get any longer...should I put a cut off date around end of August?

If you look at your reservation on the DCL site, it will tell you when you can begin to make reservations. I am not 'due' until the same time as everyone else but if I want to make any reservations ahead of time, we all have to pay first.

Cutoff for FE - my guess is that this group will grow when we get closer. I have no issue with not deciding on that until we see how it goes - as in sometime in September maybe. I like working with a solid number but I always feel bad for those that join in late.

Yea I remember asking my TA because I believe payment is due mid Aug...so I remember planning on paying it off in July so I can book my Palo Dinner and Nursery Times. I don't have my confirmation # for disney just the Dreams Unlimited pin..

Afternoon:

Just booked this cruise this morning. I was originally booked on the Dream back 2 back for the 10-30-11 sailing, but we decided we wanted to do more island stops....so since I had my airfare already, we just moved over to this cruise.

My name is Denise and traveling with Wally....no kids.....
looking forward to this cruise (or any cruise) and getting to know you all a little more in the next few months.

I have used DU before and I knew what my DCL ressie number was. How can you make your reservations for Palo and whatever excursion on the DCL website if you don't have it? OK, done being nosey - sorry, didn't mean to offend.

Denise and Wally. Happy you are joining us! We are a quiet group but we are going to have a great time.

I am an idiot. You don't need your DCL ressie if you sign in through the Castaway Club link. You need to know your Castaway Club number to do it that way but it lists your previous cruises as well as anything that you have booked.

Gail I sent my TA an email asking for confirmation #...then I logged onto their site and used their client services and there was my confirmation # (Where's the embarrassed emoticon at!)...

so I can book on July 31st

You guys inspired me to get back to planning for our excursions. I just looked at our reservations and found that the cabin with my son in it has a booking date of July 1 (I believe it's early because of Make A Wish), the other, connecting cabin, has a date of August 15.

I sure hope they'll change it so they are both July 1. I'll feel a lot better when we figure out some of what we're going to do.

My DDs 9 & 11 are worried because there aren't really any girls their ages on this thread yet. I'm having a hard time convincing them there will be a bunch of girls in their age ranges on the trip. Apparently, to them, these boards are the official ship manifest.
