Last name is Pella. I'm excited for our exchange!

My DH normally does not enjoy shopping but for some reason he loves to do Black Friday. I think it's because he normally gets up around 4:30 anyway & it gives him something to do - lol Which is good for me, I'm the opposite and am a night owl so shopping in the predawn hours does not work for me

bummer I should have tried back then.. so I can make the reservation for say the 29th then because we are on the cruise starting the 24th? Now back to figuring out where we would like to eat! The inlaws are thinking we won't have enough time to go to a park on Thursday when we get off the ship.. what do you think? Do we use a day of a ticket or just go to downtown Disney?

Yep got the BF ads in the fav list and signed up for.. waiting anxiously!

I made our ADR's back at the beginning of Sept. I think they are now making them through March! You can call and make them NOW!! Go girl, go!!

We are going to AK the day we disembark. It is a smaller park for us and we are planning on getting off the ship as early as possible to get to the resort and get going!

I did Black Friday last year but don't know if there's anything I really need this year!

 

[melsherard]

Yes! I love Black Friday... my brother and I shop together every year... Thanks for the website, Ramon... I'm gonna check it out!

I wanted to thank everyone for welcoming me to the board! However, we have to cancel this cruise and possibly take the 3-day cruise on the Wonder that same week. I hope all of you have a wonderful trip

Sorry I have been MIA...last name is Perry
Just got promoted and my work load has increased ridiculously!
I hope everyone is doing well

I feel like I have been planning for this cruise for forever!

 

[jennyh2829]

I think I have all the names now. I emailed Texas gal and have not heard back from her. I guess she's not going? I haven't gotten my UPS package yet I hope soon....I am booking spa on Monday!! Woo HOO!!!!

 

[samily]

Ok, I finally broke down and made final payment yesterday! We are officially paid in full! We are 92 days away!

 

[tammythetwinsmom]

jennyh2829 What spa are you doing? I like the room with the rock you sit on can't remember what it is but that was fun when we went on RCCL one and it was empty when we went so that was cozy too! Don't know if they have that on this boat?

We are going to Disney on ice on the 10th of Jan so we will be starting our Disney fest early!! Going to try and surprise the kids with that! Course I say that but the tix don't go on sale till nov 17th! They might fill fast?

 

[melsherard]

OK, so it's my understanding that CC members can pre book at midnite, Oct 27.. (eastern). So that means that Sunday night (since we are central time) At 11pm I can book our stuff, right? Yeah!!!

 

[samily]

Yes, that's right, but be careful - DCL has some sort of glitch with their system if you are logged onto their site before midnight EST, you may get an error message stating you are not paid in full and you are not allowed to book. So make sure you do not log onto DCL before 11pm your time. Don't know why this happens but it has happened to a lot of people here on the boards. If it does happen, log out, clear your cookies, and wait a few minutes before logging in again.

Good luck!

What is everyone hoping to book?

 

[melsherard]

We are hoping to book Palo brunch, the dolphin excursion, and the stingray excursion.

 

[mintee]

That is soo cool that you get to book that stuff already! We havent even paid in full...hope to do it next week

Tammy, we went to Disney on Ice two weeks ago...it wasnt even near sold out...your kids will love it!

 

[jennyh2829]

Which DOI are ya'll doing? We are going to Disneyland Adventure in Nov. in FT. Worth. I am getting so excited about getting closer to the cruise and we have a pretty busy three months so I think it will fly by!!

ETA: I will probably do the Aromatherapy stone massage for sure. I did it last time and really enjoyed it. I also did a pedicure but will probably get one before I go and maybe do a facial or something this time. Just not sure yet...

 

[melsherard]

We went to High School Musical on Ice last year... it was great! Did you already get your tickets? They are buy one get one in the Entertainement book...

 

[tammythetwinsmom]

Our Disney on Ice show is the 100 years of magic! We get $5.00 off every person and the show really isn't that expensive surprisingly...

Snow in the forecast this week good ole lake effect kicking in off of lake ontario! Let's see if we get some.. not sure if I'm excited or not I love the snow but it's a bit early. course it will melt the next day after we've worked all that to clear it away!
