Halloween on Oct. 31, 2002 Wonder?

[rere]

Hola Taswira.....tell me something, what is the "Bump" thing at the beginning of some posts ?

 

[taswira]

That means the poster is "bumping" the thread so it will appear listed on the first page again. That way new visitors to the board can easily find it, since many never venture beyond the first couple of pages. Some people do it just to easily find their own thread, but if our cruisers have bookmarked our <B><a href="http://www.primateprojections.com/travel/DISlist.html">Halloween Wonder DIS List</A></B>, they can reach the thread from the link there. It's still a good idea to "bump" it once in awhile, so those who may have just booked our cruise can find us!

Hey, everyone - <B><a href="http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=263972">Read about what happened to rere</A></B>! My sympathy is with her. It could have happened to any of us. Guess we'll have to make an extra effort to cheer her up on our cruise!

 

[rere]

I think I'm already all cheered up !!! Y'all are very kind. I love Disney....it does bring out the best in us, doesn't it ?

 

[taswira]

Yaaay! My nephew just got his flying schedule for next month. He WILL be able to attend MNSSHP with me on the 27th, as well as the cruise of course!

Guess who got her cruise docs..........me !!!!!! I am getting very excited. . I called today and got Palo reservations, too. I actually believe this is happening, it's not just a dream.

 

[taswira]

Congrats on the docs, rere! I don't have mine yet. In fact, I called DCL to try to get an idea of when they might arrive (since it can be anywhere from 6 weeks to 10 days ahead), because I'm trying to have them delivered to wherever I am. They were scheduled to go to my FL address, but when I spoke to a CM she said they <I>should</I> (no guarantees) go out by the first, so I then told them to send to my ID address. She said if I didn't get them by the 1st, to call back every day for their status and change the address again if needed. What a pain! I also have to worry about docs for my Nov. 10 cruise. Same situation. They may arrive before I head for FL on the 15th, but they may not. They don't allow you to pick them up in Celebration, for security reasons. If no one is there to receive them, they go back to DCL. And I DON'T want to pick them up at the DCL terminal the day of the cruise, because you never know when they might choose to increase security even more and it could become a problem to show up without the complete docs. So . . . Wish me luck, folks!

I am wishing you lots of good luck for both sets of docs...............wishing, wishing, wishing.....

 

[taswira]

Thanks, rere! And I'm still wishing your Disney Dollars would be returned!

 

[rere]

Thanks

Just bumping back up in case there might be more lucking Halloween cruisers out there.
Please let us know if you will be joining us. We would love to hear from you!

Congratulations rere on getting your docs! I am sooooo jealous. I keep anxiously looking for the note letting me know the Fed-Ex man tried to deliver them, but I come up with nothing Sorry to hear about your misfortunes with the Disney Dollars. Hopefully something magical will happen soon, and they will reappear!

I am getting so excited as the days are getting closer and closer! I look forward to meeting all you fantastic people I have met on this board!!

Have a TERRIFIC weekend!!

Kim

 

[ktharris]

Well....the fed-ex man paid me a visit....but I wasn't home!! I'm off to search the neighborhood for him!!!

Kathy

 

[kimber79]

okay, now I am feeling really left out here!! I hope you find him today! Maybe I will get home, and there will be a note on my door too!! (if so it will be drenched..........we got a downpour a little bit ago!)

 

[taswira]

The good news is my docs arrived today. The bad news is they misspelled my name. Since it would not match the name on my passport and DL, it would not be acceptable. The good news is that I called and they said they will FedEx new docs to me later today with the corrected name. It turns out they had changed the spelling of my name for my next <I>three</I> cruises because they had erroneously changed it for Castaway Club. It is now (supposedly) corrected in their system. I am REALLY grateful that I called and had them switch the mailing address for Halloween docs to here in Idaho. Otherwise I would not have known about the error until I arrived at my other home in Daytona Beach! Since this is Friday, I guess I can expect the new docs Monday or (more likely) Tuesday.

 

[kimber79]

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!!

The Fed-Ex truck came to my house today......................but I wasn't there (darn work anyways ) I am now on a mission to track down that nice little truck so I can snatch my docs today!! I am going out of town for the weekend, and the slip says they will try to re-deliver tomorrow and be back to work Monday, so I sure don't want to miss them 3 times and have them returned to DCL.

Shari, sorry to hear about your name misfortunes. Being a repeat cruiser, they should have you in their system properly by now! I am glad to hear that you were able to get this resolved now rather than later!

Have a FANTASTIC weeked!

Kim

Did you catch the FedEx guy, Kim? If they ONLY knew how IMPORTANT those documents are to us!

For those who have not received their docs and the letter accompanying them, here is the Halloween activity update from DCL:

<B><font color="blue">QUOTE</font></B>
"<I>During your voyage, we will host themed events for all ages and feature Trick-or-Treating throughout the ship. Though not required, we encourage Guests of all ages to bring along their costumes for these special events. There will be a costume contest on one evening with prizes awarded based on the following categories: Funniest, Best Group, Most Spooky, Most Original, Most Disney.

More information on themed party dates, times and locations will be available onboard in the Personal Navigator that will be delivered to your stateroom. All Guests are invited to wear costumes, however, we ask that you choose costumes which are not obstructive or offensive. To avoid any disappointment or delay in your boarding process, we ask that when considering costume options you refrain from bringing toys or props that resemble guns, knives or other related implements, as these items will not be allowed onboard</I>." <B><font color="blue">UNQUOTE</font></B>

Do you think <I>maybe</I> the costume contest won't be on Halloween or maybe they'll spread Halloween events over the entire cruise? This makes it difficult to choose a time for our Halloween DISer photo. <font color=C30003>Is anyone up for a very brief DIS meet on the Deck 7 aft "secret verandah" at maybe 3 p.m. after boarding? That way we'll have our <I>Personal Navigators</I> and know the schedule so we can decide when to do the photo.</font> What do you think?
