June 30 2012 NYC Anyone?

[Capt Stitch]

Love the schedule Pirate Night is on my birthday the big 5-0 what better way to celebrate.

Meet and greet sounds fun maybe Sunday morning / afternoon the first full sea day?

Anyone able to book reservations for the Disney day? Curious to see how the bus schedule will be.

Also port times, again not a biggie as long as we are on the ship we are only about 30 minutes from the port without traffic just want to arrange a ride to the port.


FE is happening email me at cruisingthemagic612@comcast.net to join in on the fun.

Cool! Love there is a tentative dinner schedule!! My 10 year old and I were just thinking about our plan for the wdw day.. I think it will be our Faves at the MK and then monorail to Epcot...

Were you able to book a bus time to WDW? Just curious how the buses where running every half hour, every hour, etc.

We are undecided what we want to do we normally don't stay all day at the parks midday we head back to our room for a nap or swim. Only been to WDW once during the summer, mom is 74 just worried about her in the heat and sun. We are thinking of hitting each of the parks doing our favs at each, riding on the buses will give us some down time and out of the sun. We have ADR at 4:30 for Via Napoli so we will definitively be hitting up Epcot.

Are you interested in doing FE?

Did anyone else get on this early for the 90 day Castaway Club booking window? I got my Palo ressie, my spa ressie, and my transportation for WDW. I got a 6:30 am time slot for the MK. It actually says 6:30-7:15 so I'm not sure what the deal is. It looks like 6:30 is the first time then 7:15, 8:15, 9:15, 12:45.

It's pretty sad...I literally just walked in the door from a week at WDW and the first thing I did when I came in was log on to book these reservations. Always planning the next Disney trip!

 

[mathgeek]

Oops. Just double checked that, and it says 6:30-7:45 for my MK transportation, which I'm guessing is how long they think it will take to get there. Now my concern is that the park doesn't open until 9:00 that day unless they're planning on letting us in for EMH with the resort guests?

Too early in the morning right now for me. Time for some sleep!

I read on one of the threads that we will be able to get in at 8 with the other resort guests for EMH.

Do you remember any of the other parks departure time or is it the same format as MK, the first leaving a little later?

Where you able to book port arrival?

Sorry a lot of questions, just flipped the calendar to April circled in red is April 15 / 16.

MK showed times leaving the port starting at 6:30.
Epcot and Hollywood studios the first bus leaving is at 7:15

We were able to book our arrival time at the port today also

Palo has all dining available for all days except one high tea date.

The Cabanas on Castaway Cay are all booked.

I hope this helps

Ditto above, for Hollywood, they had 7:15, 8:15 and 9:15 available, we booked the earliest. I had heard, but have not seen a confirm, that we will be able to get in at 8:00. Hubby wanted to take the 9:15 bus!!!

Palo, we booked for dinner the second at Sea day, no problem, there were times from 6:00 to 8:30 open.

Castaway, yes ALL the cabanas are gone (not that I would have sprung for one without hitting the lotto).

Port arrival times start at 11:00, we took the first slot since we only live 60 miles north. It did say that your boarding time may differ.

We are getting so excited the closer we get! We even changed our reservation to a veranda room - yay!

We are new to the FE list... can't wait! Now, we just have to decide on what FE to get! Also, are people doing the door magnets? I want to get a set of letters for DD to play with in the cabin - does anyone know if the doors are magnetic inside the cabin?

We will be able to finally book things on April 16th - waiting is killing me! We are all paid... and now just waiting... DH really wants to do Atlantis for the day because we went there pre-baby and he wants to take DD there... we'll see... MK is on our schedule for the morning - even made lunch reservations at Cinderella's Royal Table. We have wishful thinking of getting to Epcot for the aftenroon and made dinner reservations there - we'll see - maybe DD will nap on the monorail as we travel parks??? we'll see... She'll be 19 months old then... we'll see...

Can't wait!!!

That would be great if we can get in with the resort guests for EMH. It would be a nice perk!

I think a couple PP gave the other park departure times. Looks like MK is the only one with the 6:30 departure.

I did get my port arrival booked for noon, which was the first available when I finally got back on this morning to check in. But it won't matter for me anyway since I'm using Disney transfers and they don't follow the times when you're using their transportation. I had some trouble with the check-in process b/c the website didn't want to recognize Newark as a location for my flight home. I had to call DCL for help.

More questions, hoping dd will be able to do all of the booking want to make sure I give her exact instructions, 21 years old sometimes misunderstand things

Palo ressie for brunch are they offered on all four sea days?

Are there are any buses going to AK? same time set up as the Hollywood Studios?

I agree the Cabanas would only be if we hit the lotto and went to Castaway Cay a few hundred times. Seems like a lot to explore on the island and sitting inside one of the overpriced huts would be a waste of money.

Port times start and noon and then every half hour?

Palo ressie for brunch are they offered on all four sea days? Yes, Brunch, tea and Dinner (Palo Tea sold out already on first and second Sea day)

Are there are any buses going to AK? same time set up as the Hollywood Studios? Yes, I checked and they have 7:15, 8:15, and 9:15am slots

Port times start and noon and then every half hour?We were able to get an 11:00am slot for terminal arrival, and that was this evening. Maybe Dis knows that the OP were coming in on their transfer and doesn't let you select and earlier time?

 

[Capt Stitch]

wildcatwmn thanks for the all the great info, dd just arrived this morning at 4am took the scenic route from Charlotte, we will sit today and discuss strategy.

11:00am port arrival is a little early, we are planning on getting nails and pedicure in the morning and taking car service to the port, but noon arrival would be a perfect fit for us.

thanks again getting closer, excitement is building

Hello Capt Stitch.

I sent you an email with our room # and an update on my daughters info. I just wanted to make sure you did get it. I cannot remember if I sent it from work so I just wanted to confirm.

I also agree on spreading out the FE days. I have no preference on the day that we deliver our Magic. I am up for pretty much anything.

Thanks a bunch!!

Why sharing Disboard info with my husband during dinner he suggested making a Facebook group for our June 30th Disney Magic group. I will create one if anyone is interested. Any feedback would be welcomed...

I read another Board's posting where they were doing this. I'd be up for it, but we should probably keep it as a private group.

By the way ladies, I was in Marshall's yesterday and they had some great summery cruise type dresses for 24.99 and 29.99 as well as Bermuda shorts. I just had knee surgery so wasn't up to trying anything on, but can't wait to go back next week!

Hope you are feeling better, I was in Marshall's too, I was looking at the dresses but the few I liked weren't my size. I am built upside down, all rear and no top

Looking for a dress for dd graduation that could be used on the cruise (hopefully brunch at Palos).

Will be going to a different Marshall's today will keep my eye out for the shorts as well.

Facebook idea sounds good should be able to set some privacy settings to keep things secure.
