July 28, 2007 - "Rome-ancing the Mouse Cruisers" -11 days! Part 2

[Disneynutinlondon]

Send a E.MAIL to DCL via their website, with details,flights etc.

Thanks for the advice Andrew but I've now sent 5 emails and made 3 phone calls and still they can't sort it.

I'm just so fustrated as it just saves time rather than doing it all manually when the doucments come and then sorting it out when we check-in in Barcelona.

I emailed my U.S based TA today with all the flight and hotel details along with all the correspondance back and forth with DCL to see if he can sort it so fingers crossed but to be quite honest I don't hold out much hope.

The phrase "couldn't organise a p***-up in a brewrey" springs to mind !!!

Congrats JoAnn - what wonderful news. It so rare to hear of the nowadays!



That is so cool that your blogging. Was it hard to set up? Am considering what it takes to blog and would love to hear how some do it.

I'll see if I can get my DD22 to help with this.....

Someone posted earlier that they called DCL and said they were sent out Monday via 2 day. Did I read that right? So maybe we will all be getting our cruise documents today.

Yes, that was us... Ours were sent from Orlando, FL on Monday via UPS 2nd Day Air. Should arrive to us today barring any issues with UPS

 

[Disneynutinlondon]

I'm off now as we are heading over to the boys school to watch Ethan in his end of year drama production. They are doing a musical review with acts/songs from various musicals i.e Club Tropicana, High School Musical, Wicked and The Cheeta Girls.

I won't be logging in later as I really don't feel too good. I've got stress fractures in both my hip joints so I'm full of pain killers and all I want to do is go to bed.

So have a good evening and play nicely

 

[jlawall]

Thx to all for the kind wishes for our special day......I always say, "It's a miracle!"

Know what you mean, wish you all the best, in the end it can be sorted out at the terminal quickly. If you havent completed it by now they might send you the full docs with the tickets, last time as i had completed everything i had far less in the tickets post.

 

[Pixie Dust II]

First..........my DH & I are 27 today!! It's a miracle!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations, JoAnn--we will have a toast to the occassion on the cruise!! One more reason for the rum dance!!

 

[danfromca]

Um - quick question - are we going with white t-shirts with logo or just whatever suits anyone's fancy? Dis green?

thanks -

White will probably come out best, given that even stores use the iron-on technique.

That is annoying! The truth is, you can have a bad experience with almost any company at any time -- just because I've had luck with B of A doesn't mean that my luck won't run out . . . Then again, I'm feeling as though everything is just going to work out for this trip. Even if I'm wrong, isn't it nicer to feel that way now?

The only really good thing about B of A is that they are everywhere. On everything else they are not terribly impressive.

Congratulations, Andrew!!

I just spoke to my neighbors, they came home last night and had some time with him before they took him to the vet. THe reason they were so late was the kids. They didn't want to leave the beach and thought if they didn't go home Frosty wouldn't have to be put to sleep. In the end thier son wouldn't come home. He just couldn't face it. I don't think I would have allowed that but it's not my child or my dog.

Anyway he is out of pain now and I'm thankful for that.

THanks again for you support during this difficult time for me.


Sandra

Glad that ordeal is over for you and the dog!

Yes - please elaborate. I thought I read somewhere that UPS was shipping the docs. I wanted to confirm this, or is it USPS that shipped them.

Disney told me they were coming 2 day Fed-X and that was on Monday. Today UPS delivered them to me. I think they have always come by UPS in the past.

Over here I have always had UPS deliver.

misery loves company joann!!! here is some pixie dust to make packing easier!!!

I used to love packing, but now its just too time consuming especially when Im on vacation already and I dont want to waste a minute of my precious beach/recreation time- I know it is all worth it for the trip, but I do wish someone else could do it for me!!!

Tried to PM you but it kept saying error!!

Can my children take part in the gift bags

Many thanks

[Pixie Dust II]

I agree with you about the dog, Harole Ann. Hopefully, it will all work out for Sandra.

Good for your husband!!!! That was a lot of money you saved, plus you will certainly need the air conditioning if we have more weather like today!

With the t-shirt, did they tell you if there was a problem with the back? I'm waiting to hear about that.

Maryann

Thanks for the heads-up Suzy. Next step - the mall.

Does anyone know if you burn the images to CD and bring to the custom T-shirt store or will they upload from a flash drive??????? Dan?????



May be this is an attempt to make nice because they fouled things up for months!

Maryann

I took the logo on a disk to our local sport store who does shirts for all of our baseball teams and they could not do it. We bought iron-on transfer paper at Office Max and dh has another project to do. That is one reason I am not going to lean on him too much to get his clothes out...not until he has the t-shirts done!! Then look out!!!!!

Dan...can you post the updated back again, please!!

Izzie - I hope you feel better after waking up - are the stress fractures going to get worse on the cruise? Sounds extremely painful - take care - :

Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!

We got our euros. A woman my DH works with just came back from Ireland with $600 worth of euros. We just bought them from her. It worked out great for both of us.

I had to go for the fitting for the dress for my son's wedding. It did not go well. The tailor at the bridal shop would not do anythng I wanted and was not kind about it. Needless to say I picked up the dress yesterday and took it to another tailor who had done work for me before. She's doing everythng the way I wanted. I'm taking my daughter today for her fittng . I'm hoping it goes smoothly.

I also just found out that I need to dig out pictures of my son growing uop because the're doing a slide show at the reception. Between photo albums, boxes of pictures, and cruise stuff my house is a mess!

What a pain in the neck about the dress - like you don't have enough on your mind. As long as you are paying for the tailoring, why does she care what you want? Glad you were able to find someone else. A good tailor is a wonderful thing!!

I opened a BofA savings account last month and ordered euros and pounds. I got a check card instead of an ATM card with the account. I really wanted an ATM card but for some reason they gave me a check card. Then I was told that unless I used it at a BofA bank there would be fees. No one mentioned about the Global ATM alliance. I asked about the ATM card, but they kept putting me off saying its the same as a check card. Then because I opened a BofA account, they automatically removed my autopay setup for my BofA VISA card, in hopes that I would reset it up with the BofA account. They also made it so that I couldn't reset it up online. They said my savings account was free, but then once I opened it, they said it was free from only a few months. I'm just so frustrated with BofA, I'm closing the account. I got my euros and pounds. I have an ATM card with my credit union and it has PLUS, so I think I will be OK. they said no fee to use the ATM card with them anyways. I just plan on bringing lots of cash.

We had B of A when we lived in CA. No problems with them. But, I have a girlfriend who used to work for them and she said she'd never bank with them again. We got our Euros and Euro Travelers Cheques (for private excursions) today!!

Yahoo! We have our tickets!!!!!! Let the wild rumpus begin!!!

Congratulations!!!

Harole Anne - please explain, are you saying you received our cruise documents?

I don't think she got your document

Congrats on being the very first person to post they have their tickets!

Crossing everything for mine soon but we have a postal strike Thursday.

That could cause some problems!!!

So sad, it's just too bad that it put you in such a predicament.

I'm off now as we are heading over to the boys school to watch Ethan in his end of year drama production. They are doing a musical review with acts/songs from various musicals i.e Club Tropicana, High School Musical, Wicked and The Cheeta Girls.
