disneygal58, yes our Shirley from the Perfect Gift is the Shirley who will be performing the wedding. Has anyone tried emailing Fawn through the DIS board? Hope everything is ok...

I talked to Shirley last week (to order a basket) and she mentioned the wedding. I'm thinking that with 6 kids, Christmas, and the upcoming nuptials and cruise, that perhaps Fawn doesn't have the time to DIS? Her loss, but I can sure understand!

Hi All,

We won't be staying at the Radisson after all. DH decided he wanted to stay at OKW the night before and drive out in the morning. So maybe we can set up a meet time on the ship so we can all get together. Any suggestions?

Hi everybody,

too am getting concerned about Joanna (FAWN). We met in person a couple months ago. I think that she just has so much to do with the holidays, cruise and wedding that she doesn't have time to DIS. I am going to give her a call right now ad find out if everything is ok.

Will let you all know

Has everyone else rec'd their docs. I don't remember them coming this late on previous cruises...should I be worried?

 

[Lisa F]

We haven't received our docs yet. I'm starting to go a little crazy!

Candy, please let us know if Fawn is ok!

I haven't recieved my docs yet either.We booked through DVC though. I did call Joanna's house but got the answeringmachine. I left a message for her to call me and let me know how things are going. Also told her that everyone is getting a little concerned about her whereabouts.

My family would love to meet everyone at the Radisson, but we won't be in until around 11:00 pm. Has anyone come up with a meeting place onboard, just in case you are sleeping when we arrive Friday?

What a mess! I emailed my TA (Donna at DU, who has been wonderful and extremely prompt in answering emails) and she called Disney. According to them, FedEx attempted delivery three times and then returned the docs to Disney. We haven't seen a single notice here of attempted delivery! Then I realized how long ago I booked this cruise, over 18 months! We moved just about a year ago to a new apartment. ACK! I bet they tried to deliver to my OLD address. I emailed my theory back to Donna and asked if they could resend the docs. She said as of now we would have to pick them up at the port (our names would be on the passenger list and then pick up the docs when we check in). I'm not crazy about showing up at the port with nothing but a printout from the DU site proving I'm supposed to be on this cruise! I hope Disney will resend them. I repeat, what a mess!

Wah.

Lisa...don't worry too much. I once had to fill out docs at the port...it is not that bad. I am sure they will have your name on the list. I just don't see why they can't resend them...it is still a few weeks away??

MJ

 

[Lisa F]

Yeah, they are going to resend them. They did have the wrong address! Hopefully we will be here to receive them this time! When I get my docs I am sure everyone will know about it!

My TA called yesterday and said she had our documents in her hand--she's sending them to arrive Thursday! I'm excited already--I told her I'd be sure to be home, probably waiting under a blanket by the door for the Airborne Express guy!

 

[edith76]

under a blanket by the door...That is so funny. The first thing I did when it snowed last week was to shovel a path to the front door for the FedEx man. (Still waiting for him) We are in very bad need of some -not pixie dust- but some warm Florida sunshine.

 

[beautyandbeast]

No docs yet. I'm trying not to think about it too much. DVC said they don't usually ship until 2-3 weeks prior. We have never received them that late before. Hoping to meet you all soon.

Br-r-r-r-r, it is nippy in New Jersey. edith76 - where are you from? Do you still have snow on the ground? I received my docs about a week and a half ago. They are all filled out and ready for 1/04. See you onboard!! I'm hoping for lots of sun so look for me lounging on a deck chair just eating up the warm rays.

 

[edith76]

I live in North Jersey but travel to Manchester quite a bit. We still have snow and I can't believe how cold it is for this time of year. The high yesterday was 22. Do you have snow? I went to Manchester on Sunday and could not believe how much snow there was. I can't wait to go to Florida. I hope the Western Carib. is warm. We did the Eastern the last 2 years and the weather was fine. The water temp at Castaway Cay was a little chilly but the beach was great. Counting the days....

 

[mmouse37]

edith76...we live just on the Rockland/Bergen line. How far north in Jersey are you...you can't be too far away from us!!!

I used to work in Ramsey/Mahwah, and my dad owns a shop in Ho-Ho-Kus.

I haven't posted in a looong time, but have been following the boards. We have just switched, as of 5 mins ago, to the Jan 4th cruise! We are going down about a bizillion categories, (originally we had a Cat. 5 balcony on March 1st) but honestly, I can think of about a million things I can buy with the 2500$ difference in price!!! What a deal! I am now going to check all these postings to see who is going...we are the three crusnprincesses, myself, dd 7, and nanna(not allowed to tell her age!)
Can't wait, this is all really spur of the moment.
..our Christmas plans have changed radically, we decided yesterday we are spending it at Disneyworld...My dd hopes there are lots of girls her age onboard.

 

[disneygal58]

Cruznprincesses,
How exciting and WELCOME! We, too (myself and daughters aged 17 & 19) switched ressies from 2/1 to 1/4 and will enjoy a significant savings.
This cruise is basically our Christmas gift to one another - we of course will have several cruise related items to unwrap under the tree.
An ever-growing group of us will be staying at the Radisson the night prior and plan to meet by the pool around 8 p.m. If that doesn't work for you, we can all arrange something either at the port or on the ship.
Counting Down,
Dawn Hope

nmouse37 My family is originally from Bergen but I've lived most of my life in Morris. Now I live near Morristown. (Right in the path of the expected ice storm) I'll be cruising with DH and DS age 20. We go to Florida for a week pre-cruise and I can't wait....at least, I think we are going - still no docs.

 

[BuzznBelle'smom]

crusinprincesses, my daughter is also 7, and she is SO EXCITED! We won't be at the Radisson, though, but perhaps we can meet up on board. Belle is likely to be spending a lot of time in the club.
