I'm doin' that document dance. Anybody with me?

 

[Bethipooh4]

No doc dance here...

How happy you must be!!!!! Congrats to you though!!!!!!!

 

[sharonk]

Yes! We just received ours last night! : )



I also called Shirley at The Perfect Gift and ordered gift baskets to be waiting in the room for my kids

Sharon

 

[Bethipooh4]

Way to go Sharon!!!!!!

Did you guys book through Disney, or a travel agent?

 

[sharonk]

We booked through a travel agent (Small World Travel). Actually, my mom booked it for our whole extended family through Small World.

It looks like the docs came straight from Disney though. My sister, who lives a few blocks away, got hers the same day.

My mom and my brother's family, who live in different cities in Indiana, haven't received theirs yet.

They came in a little cardboard box via UPS.

Hope yours arrive soon! : )

Sharon

 

[Jrsy Boy]

We booked through Disney, even our airfare, so I wasn't expecting to see anything for another 10 days or so.

 

[232271]

oh man, did they come UPS? or how?
dying to get mine!!
this is our first cruise and I still am saying,
"pinch me, is this for real?"

 

[Jrsy Boy]

did they come UPS?

Yes...what can brown do for you? Bring some freakin' documents, how 'bout dat?

 

[Bethipooh4]

race the truck.....I wanna race the truck.

Better yet, I want the number 88 UPS car to show up with my documents...

 

[gabang]

I'll join in the document dance!

We got ours and all the forms are already filled out.

Went down to the Disney store and got some Disney dollars. DD is having trouble understanding that this is real money, just Disneyfied.
We got 1's 5's and 10's they are very cute.

Can't we leave yet???

disney dollars?? what characters are on them? ours said they were still out last week!
oh I hope they have some when i go this weekend!

 

[CruisinDragons]

I am going to call my TA next. She hasn't exactly been on top of anything else about this trip. Who knows? Our docs could be lying on her desk. I am excited for everyone else though!

I was wondering when to call Shirley. Sounds like I can go ahead and see what she can do for us. I would like to surprise my dh but I am sure he will see these posts.

Is anyone else a little concerned about the Raddison? A few other posts have descibed it as a road-side motel. My number one priority is cleanlinest - which I have read they do have. The price seems high for the amenities. We will probably use the pool and have breakfast there in the morning. I hope we are getting what we paid for.

My ds and dd have been receiving disney dollars from aunts, cousins, etc. all year for gifts. They each have $135 of their OWN money to spend. Now if dd wants an over priced stuffed animal, she can use her money.

So much to do in the next few weeks - make door sign, shopping, packing, find pillow cases for signing.....

Can't wait!

 

[sharonk]

Karin,

I've heard good things from folks who have stayed at the Radisson recently, so I'm not that worried. Like you, I just hope it's clean!!!

We got a AAA rate of $139 for a 2 room King whirlpool suite, so I thought that was pretty good. They had a rate of $109 for a regular room. Compared to what we'll be paying the following week at WDW, it seems like a bargain! : )

I ordered my baskets through Shirley a few days ago. She seems like a very sweet lady and I can't wait to see the baskets.

I hope your docs arrive soon,

Sharon

 

[Bethipooh4]

Still no docs today.....

I was worried about the Radisson as well, but I saw some pics of the pool and that looks nice, and as long as the room is clean, thats all that matters.
I also got the 2 king room for 139, military rate.

Still debating on baskets from Shirley, I know they would love it, but that may have to wait till next years cruise.

 

[Bethipooh4]

I got so excited....

The UPS truck pulled into my driveway...
I am starting to do the document dance....

AND......

all it was, was my new passporter book....

OH WELL
