My wife and I are new to this site and "threading" so I apologize if this isn't the right way to post our first entry. We have 4 children: two daughters (9 and 18 mos) and two sons (7 and 5). Just looking to meet some others and get some advice before we sail. We've done a 3 and a 4-night in the past; this is our first 7-nighter.

We haven't booked any excursions yet and were hoping to do one in Cozumel - dolphin encounter. It is very costly to book through DCL. We were hoping to make reservations with Dolphin Discovery but they told us they can't accept our reservation - we have to go through Disney. Can anyone help with this?

We're at one of the All Stars...not sure which one though. We keep just refering to it as the All-Stars, I'll have to look up specifically which one we are at

its Movies....

WOOT!!

I see the new room #'s on the meet and greet list, but the FE list still has the old #'s..... and yea, I agree with you...who ever heard of three rooms in a row being upgraded to still include 3 rooms in a row?? Totally, completely, utterly unexpected! We've been pixie dusted for sure!! Wish I had a name to write a thank you note to......

Congratulations Tink576 and Phred52 Merry Christmas to you from Disney!!
And welcomePeterpan2010. We just booked the dolphin encounter the other day and we also looked at options of booking ourselves. There are tour companies out there but you have to be careful and check them out. Cruise critic had some reviews of some and in the end I thought we would just pay the extra for peace of mind. You can book on your own and just leave out that you are cruising but if for whatever reason the itinerary changes or because of weather we can't dock you are out of pocket. That is just my understanding of how it works, if it's different someone please correct me. Good luck on whatever you decide.

Thanks for the response, insight, and the welcome. Any thoughts on how to get our room assignment changed? I read our room is directly below one of the kitchens and it is constantly noisy room on the boat (2631). We're traveling with another party right across the hall so it might complicate it a bit!

Maybe try calling Disney or your travel agent...but look online and see where there are empty staterooms in your category to see (if they will let you move) what rooms you would want to possibly move to

 

[Fawn]

OK, I have everyone's room number for the FE except Tinks113smom. Carole, if you could get me that info ASAP, that would be great!!

[newbydisney]

..so how many minutes is that



We leave 12/30 for WDW...at least it is cold there right now so it tempers the need to leave immediately..it was actually 4 degrees warmer in Seattle the other day than it was in Orlando....looking for snow here now though and my palm trees are in the garage again...

OK, gotcha! And that concludes this portion of our program...

We are off tomorrow for our Christmas up in the Poconos! I won't be back online until after the 28th.

Just wanted to wish everyone a Magical Holiday, and may your days all be merry and bright.

I'm so excited. I ordered a FE off eBay and it arrived today -- totally gorgeous and worth every single penny.

I could never have made anything quite this pretty on my own and I can sew.

We opted for two pockets, so my husband and I will share and one for our daughter, the little princess, lol! It's yellow, red and blue, has Cruisin' with Mickey and the DCL logo at the top, a Mickey and Minnie on the top pocket, with our names (Joe and Laura) and a Minnie with a princess crown and Keighley's name on the bottom pocket. Look for us! LOL!

Can't wait to use it. Better stick it in the suitcase now so I don't forget to bring it.

I ordered one, too...she promised it will get here before we leave! Can't wait to see it!

 

[cmclaura]

Did you also order from Tiffany (gradysmommy)?

Her work is outstanding!

Yes, I did!! LOL I ordered it very plain, with just names, no Mickey heads on the pockets...but one on the top. Everyone's favorite color for their pockets. I did this very last minute, and she is SUPER nice. Can't wait to see the finished product!

 

[cmclaura]

I am certain that you won't be disappointed. A quality product, nicely lightly padded (I'm guessing interfacing) so it's slightly stiff at the back. Very sturdy -- this will be going on many cruises with us.

I can't believe it's nearly time for our cruise!
