Yes I think they will still give dreams like familiy of the week or some gifts or surprises at random.

I am back on my computer now Alice is around a freinds with her laptop, keep Carley sending the e.mails.

Were you happy with everything on the private tours?

I am thrilled with all the tours you booked for soooooo many reasons Andrew.
First, and most important, I feel as if we are going with friends although we have never met.
Second, I am so happy my daughter will have kids to share this with
Third, I feel as if you have more knowledge than the Disney people since you have traveled so much and this is a first for them
Fourth, I was getting an ulcer worrying about excursions being sold out
Fifth, I know small vans will be easier to travel in and more comfortable
Sixth, I think we saved a lot of money

Ok Ok I think you get the message!!! Im still pondering Siciliy though
Sallie
Are you starting to get a bit concerned I talk too much!!!

Is it possible to book all of the excursions on our wish list at once, or do we need to book each excursion separately? Thanks.

Seperate port by port, day by day, but it helps you locate it quickly. Some tours have two/three start times so you cannot just click, for all.

Another booking question. does anyone know how the Palo bookings will work if you have 2 or 3 cabins? How does one link the reservations so we can all sit at the same table?

Debbie at DCL.SHORE.EXCURSIONS@disney.com is wonderful help if you are trying to get good info about excursions. I found her, actually she contacted me, when I enquire about the Disney private vehicle excursion in Naples. She answers quickly. The people who answer the phones don't know much and you should be asking for the supervisor when you don't feel you got a satisfactory answer. Also, don't be shy and ask for the shore excursion people when you want a straight answer on shore excursions. Roy is another shore excursion person. But Debbie is the bomb!

Re Palo, I must say I do not know, bar online it had a number option last time, I remember our number defaulted to 2, as there was 2 adults, but I had options for 3/4, if someone was to join.

I suugest this is an important one to ask DCL now before Sunday am.

 

[kyla]

Seems like there was someone who posted that they booked Palos but I can't keep my threads straight. Not sure if someone here posted. I'll try another thread or call DCL.

To link cabins you need to contact DCL with the res numbers and they can link it for you.

Not sure (as there is only 2 of us in our party) but I think when you book Palo the drop down box with atomatically change 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 depending on how many adults are in your party. However I am not sure about this so I would contact DCL.

Try the Med Exsursions thread, I remember something there about linked rooms, all the best, but suuggest DCL .

 

[kyla]

Ok, I came from the Med Excursions and it sounds like you make the reservation under your profile and you have radio buttons representing the number of people in your party like the 1/2 or 3/4.

 

[MrsJobba1]

Sorry this is totally off topic but I just had to Share Sunderland has just won (footy), one more win and were back in the premiership

This is on topic - have you put your second choice excursions on your wishlist? or just first choice. At the moment I have but not sure whether to take them out??

Best to contact DCL though to ensure all your ressies are linked, you do not want a problem on Sunday, if not linked you might have to go in, one, room, by one, but there is a toggle to a certain number mine was 1/2 and 3/4, as you say.

Congrats on Sunderland saw that on the news may play Newcastle now your friends!

Its up to you, I personally suggest put one on at each port, this will help you go fast on Sunday. If you have more than one you could hit the wrong one.

Be positive and plan to get first choice, the VIP tours seem to go fast, so if you wish to go for that, maybe have a second choice.

I have in mind a back up at the two ports where I havent booked private tours, but only have one preference on each port, so I can just click that and book without thinking.

Early Sunday morning need all the help for my brian.

 

[kyla]

I know my reservations are linked. No problem there. Just wasn't sure how the online reservations work since DCL was telling everyone that each cabin needed to book their own excursions. I'll call.

Andrew-

We were thinking of doing Pompeii, Sorento and Capri but from your comments I'm not sure. My daughter wants to go because she just learned about the Gardens of Augustus in AP Global class and wants to see them. My husband was to Capri twice when he was in the Navy many years ago and would like to go back.

Was the boat ride rough? Did you go on the jet-foil? Did you see the Blue Grotto?

Thanks!

 

[kyla]

No, I still haven't called DCL. One of the other posters got back with me and said yes, you indicate how many are in your party for palos and you are given choices, 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8. However, she said that anything greater than 4 doesn't work. computer glitch I guess. So she just picked 4 and called DCL to correct it to some higher number.
