Steph,

I think the times are 10:30 at Palo's for the brunch on the first day at sea and 3:00 pm on the last day at sea for tea. Anyone...feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!

Have fun in Disneyland, we'll be in Rancho Mirage in 16 days for spring break! I'm excited, but not near as excited as I am for the cruise!

I'm surprised Disney isn't offering unlimited internet, they had it on the last two cruises I was on, but that was a couple of years ago.

Gotta bookmark this...so I don't forget. Yea, it stinks not having unlimited, but oh well. At least I'll be able to check my email. It can get overwhelmed while I am gone.
Marie..are you still up for the pompeii on our own? I won't book the excursion if you are.
Looking very forward to the trip!

Steph,

Sure, its so much cheaper to do it on our own - might as well get lost together! I did look into a private tour, but it was still 550 euros for a van that holds up to 6.

Are you going to the Casino that evening by any chance and leaving your daughter on the ship? I'm thinking of doing that, I'm not much of a gambler, but I think it might be a neat experience.

I am so up for the evening casino. I am planning on leaving her on the ship.
I think it will be a nice experience.

I think I missed this...must have been in Disney. Are we doing a DIS meet at Palo?

 

[taysmom]

One of us is trying to get the room at palos for brunch and tea. I can't remember who, but go back a few pages. Anyways, I guess you can't book the room until 1 month out so they said to make our own ressies and then we can change when/if we get a room.

[taysmom]

silver7 is trying to get the palo room.

[PrincessJasmine08]

Oh. That sure would be great if she could get it...how fun!!

In preparation for booking excursions Sunday, does anyone know:

Do you need your Castaway number to book?
Do you need a credit card?
If so, is the card charged?
What time can we book? Isn't it something strange like 3am?

Thanks!! Hope everyone's doing well!

1. No Castaway club # needed
2. Nope - not charged until onboard - added to on board account
3. Yep - 3am EDST - of course those on the West Coast get to book at midnight.....

If you haven't registered on www.disneycruise.com - do so now - you'll have to have your reservation number to pull up the actual reservation. 1 hint is to put things on your wish list - and then have it show only your wish list when you are booking - saves time.

Virgil,

When are you flying into Barcelona and from where.

We are flying in 6/15 at 12:25 from London.

Thanks for the advice on the Wishlist, I am going to work on it tomorrow.

Lauren, did you get your packet, look on page 1 on the 8 steps to start the fun. It tells you step by step on how to book the excursions.
Just found it today.

We arrive at 0820 from Philly... actually flying out of Pittsburgh..... Hopefully my wife will still be with us at that point.... She's not looking forward to flying overnight - especially since USAirways messed up our outbound flight and we don't have Envoy class... we do on the return....

I just purchased our train tickets from London to Paris and Paris to Barcelona. I had a wonderful helper on TripAdvisior help sort through everything to get the best price. There are 4 different websites you can look at and sort through pricing. I should be a travel agent after all of this. Still trying to figure out what to do in Palmero and Oblia. I told my DH that he was in charge of those 2 ports. I want to go to the beach in Oblia though. Hope everyone has a great weekend and I will be online on Sunday to finalize everything. Hopefully, LOL.

Hey Yall!

Greetings from Orlando! Just a quick trip (was going to see the shuttle go off but it was postponed and had to use the tickets anyway!)

Met up with LisaTX last night--what a hoot!

How about a running list of who is in charge of what or a list of meets?

Mickey Green Door magnets--(who offered to do these? I forgot I am sorry)

Bracelets--anyone interested in heading these up?

Palo Brunch--First Day at sea (everyone makes own, but waiting for confirmation of secret room) Silver 7

Palo tea (Second day at sea--Friday, 3pm) Everyone makes own, waiting on room. (Silver 7)

What about the first day meet?

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Virgil,

I think we too are on your flight arriving in Barcelona at 8:20 on June 15th! I also tried to book Envoy with points and I was told yes then just as I was actually finalizing the booking it was all of a sudden not available! My luck! You too are staying at the Renaissance correct?

Another question, when you save your excursions to your wish list, do you have to save them twice if you are booking for two people or will it let you add the number of people when you actually book it?

Thanks

Marie

Hi Everyone,

Patricia we land at about the same time as you on the 15th, are you flying in from Heathrow or Gatwick?

Just wondering what time we can book from here in England - probably 1 or 2 p.m. I would think. If someone could be kind enough to tell me what time it will be in Florida can just about work out the difference of 5 hours.

Weather here still warm and dry but they forecast snow and gales next week and I can certainly do without that.

Just wondering what everyone is planning on booking or has booked.

Think we have decided on 3 main port excursions,
Palermo - Boat ride to Zingaro Park.
(Just depending on what time it leaves in the morning.)
Olbia - probably the train ride
La Spezia - Cinque Terre trip in the morning.

In marseille will probably do our own thing and perhaps have a trip to Chateau D'f
In Villefranche will perhaps catch the train to Eze and Monaco but will decide on that later on

Happy planning everyone.

When you save on the wish list - it will then let you choose who you want on what excursions when you are actually booking it. The only bad thing about the site is you have to start over each time you book something - can't just go back to the list....... (You will understand when you do it)....

We may switch from the Renaissance - long story - but haven't decided yet.... Are you flying in from Philly?


Bren - it should be 7am your time ( 4hours time difference with the new daylight savings time in effect....)


Virgil

 

[Skallywag]

That sounds good to me will give it a try in the morning with my first cup of coffee.
