Can someone post the facebook group name? I seemed to have missed it and I have been unsuccessful searching for it.

Time to go back and read all the tips and make sure we're not forgetting anything... 1 week from now we'll be aboard!

I also found a link on the Dis boards somewhere for first time cruisers with lots of packing tips and printed it out.

Does anyone happen to have an emergency contact number for the ship that I can leave with family? I can't find it on the DCL website. I did find a 1-888 number on the DISboards, but it was from 2008 so I am not sure if it is still the same.

Thanks in advance - I cannot believe that we are leaving for Florida in 5 days!!!

The ship contact number is 1-888-322-8732.

It's on p.17 of your cruise documents.

We're finishing up our FE and door art! Hopefully I'll be able to take some pictures and post them here before you all leave.

5 days of work left... jealous of all of you who are on your way sooner!

Hi Everyone!

We're leaving tomorrow for WDW, and I wanted to let you know that I'll be cancelling our 2 Palo reservations if anyone wants to try and get them.

We've done Palo before, and decided we're gonna skip it this time. So I have Dinner at 6:30pm day 4 (Grand Caymen), and Brunch at 10:30am on day 6 (sea day). So if anyone couldn't get a Palo res. and wants to try and snag these I'm going to go cancel them right now. I hope someone from this group gets them.

See you in 6 days, woo hoo!!!

Is "Main Dining" the early dinner time? I just realized I could check this myself on the website (even though the travel agent made the reservation). If so, we've been de-waitlisted.

 

[luv2cruz24]

Yes, main dining is the early dining time.

How do you see what dining your on in the online confirmations?

(forgive the ignorance)

 

[Ka-chow!]

I've listed the new folks (Welcome to Ka-Chow!) and the FINAL list will always be what's posted on the first post of this thread -- at least until the end of 1/5.

I will bring copies to the Meet & Greet on the first day so we can make any changes at that time, if needed.

And, yes, we're still waiting on Moonvxn to get back to us with their cabin number if they want their FE gifts!!!

Thanks!
Packing today...

I've looked before, not found it, and wound up calling my agent.

I found it by going to the My Reservation page, under where it says
"Only 5 days left until your cruise sets sail!"
click on "View Details >"

I don't know if that was always there. It's above where it says you can't click to modify your reservation because it's associated with a TA.

If you scroll down on the "details" page you should see a "dining preference" listed. I assume that means the dining seating you have, vs. being on the waitlist, as the original version of this list that I got from the TA said "second seating".

 

[tapia]

Found it! Much appreicated!

 

[TiggerAllie]

Here's one project done.... the photo mat we are taking to have signed by the characters (not in the frame, of course)! Hopefully I can finish the FE tonight or tomorrow night...

 

[cmclaura]

Wow, that photo mat is GORGEOUS! Did you make it yourself with scrapbook supplies?

I've updated the DISmeet and FE lists in post #1 of this thread. Can everyone please check their details and ensure I'm correct?! If not, you have only until Wednesday at 2pm to notify me of any changes; otherwise, it waits til we meet on the ship.

I've got all my items out to pack, everything that needed washing/fluffing has been done, all my paperwork is printed out and in my folder to bring along, I've recharged all the camera batteries, petsitter is briefed, got lots of singles for room service tipping, everyone's been notified of how to reach us in an emergency, what am I forgetting?

 

[cmclaura]

Just a few more days, folks, wheeee!

 

[TiggerAllie]

Thanks! We made it with some Disney sticker/scrapbook stuff we had. I figured it would be better to put that on before it was signed, so that there would be enough room. It does commit us to a vertical picture--I'm hoping for one with Captain Mickey!

Good thing we have until Friday to pack, because we are way behind you!
