: Sometimes, it seems like they make everything so hard! I've been trying to access our other ressies and they won't let me? Now what to do?
Funny, they let me give them charging privileges...

fyi..they let me do my online check in, but when I tried to retrieve our other 2 it won't let me, any idea why?

I couldn't get 11am..gone, but got 11:30 so I was pleased! And I just got on my dh's laptop and it let me check in my kids. Got the same time for them. However, , it's still NOT letting me check in my inlaws cabin on either computer. Could this be a sign?

No, really, just wanted us all to get checked in at the same time, have to drop the rental off by 11am, so we should be good to go, unless the last cabin gets a later check in...but they're riding with us...so if Disney decides to stick to their new rules, could get interesting.

seems strange that you cant check all the cabins in lol but im easily confused.

Fab that you got a time that you are happy with.

Im actually in my caravan at the moment so dont have all the information with me that i need to checkin, plus i havent booked my carhire yet and they ask for that.
We also have the confusion of not knowing at what time we can get to the port by, but hey ho it will all get sorted in the end

I will definitely go put my name on the wait list, Thanks! We are planning to do the tea with Alice also. Do I sign up for both at the same place?

The answer to that is no. Palo and other dining ressie assignments are done in Rockin Bar D on deck 3 forward (check the navigator before boarding as sometimes they move it to Studio Sea on deck 4) and tickets for Tea with Alice are at the guest services desk in the atrium on deck 3 midships. Do not worry about the tea with Alice tickets. You will get them. Go first and foremost to Rockin Bar D for Palo. After that is done swing back to guest services to get the Tea with Alice tickets. If you have more than one adult you can split up.

Madalyn if you happened to be logged on with two different laptops at the same time you wouldn't be able to book excursions, etc. for the inlaws if you forgot to log off the second computer. I remember reading small print that you can book excursions for other party members but NOT if someone from the other cabin is logged on at the same time as you.

As for the check-in times I called DVC to ask them about that. I'm booked to be magically transported from our hotel to the ship. I have no idea what time they will be picking us up so I could only take a wild guess from my past experience, but even that varies widly. Since we never had to give times before I wanted to be sure I did this correctly. The lady at DVC had no idea so she called the cruiseline. We were told that the check-in times are NOT firm. They are only doing that so they have a rough idea of when people are planning to arrive so they can have things ready for them. Maybe they are planning on making sure the early arrivals' cabins are ready first??

Anyway, Since we always travel with my dad and therefore have two cabins, they do NOT make you go to different lines. In the past I have checked in both cabins at the same time since we are travelling together. So I'm pretty sure this hasn't changed. They will not spit up the travel party when you arrive at the terminal.

Twinner2 is my mom They haven't "officially" signed up, but she is already making FE gifts It will be my mom, Janee, and dad, Larry, in their cabin...which hasn't been assigned yet. No allergies for either of them! Hope this helps!

I do!! Twinner2 is Ctry's Parents and her 18 year old brother!
I do not have their names yet.

Also there were actually 3 staterooms added. Pagan79 replaced someone else who had been on line 4. Melissa, Mary Beth and Evelyn. All adults...mom and her two adult daughters!

lol.... you were too fast for me!!

I thought your brother was cruising too???

 

[Tinkerbell0614]

Thanks for being so quick with the responses!! Wow this board rocks!! We cannot wait until October! We have so much stuff for the FE because Michaels was having a FANTASTIC sale!!! Woohooo!!!!!!

 

[Lauralooneyfordisney]

Wow, I had an awful time just getting onto the DISboards now? They must be overloaded or something because it took me 3 tries.
I could not get on to do the online checkin after midnight, it would only let me do the exursions? I did go ahead and book the Maagens Bay one so I would have something for there. I already had the one booked on St Maarten with Bernards.
It let me do the online checkin this morning when I got up. I guess I am easily confused because I was under the impression that we would get actually boarding #'s. I did get the 11:30-12 arrival time which is good. We will be staying at MCO Hyatt and will be taking the disney bus from there. Do we get the boarding # there then? or at Magical Express? Or do we get it when we arrive at port? I know we will find out more after Aug when they will actually let us arrive at port so I will not worry too much.
My first stop on the ship will be Rockin D to get Palo Brunch. Nothing had come open for that yet.

 

[sullins5]

Finally, at 9:30 I have all 3 cabins checked in and our port arrival time is 11:30. Wasn't gonna do that, but with all the hubbub on the main threads, I thought I might better do that since we've got to turn in our van by 11am. Didn't think it was gonna work with all the trouble I had logging into everyone's cabin. Nope, I only had my computer on, it just sent me back to the starting stage again. But hey, it's finally done, so I'm excited. (Seems to be my continuing statement on this thread...but we ARE!)

Congrats to my fellow newbies..hope you all got what you wanted!

We are Larry, Janee, and Kyle (18).

A little about us: We have been married for 28 years. This is our 5th Disney Cruise and 2nd Eastern. As her username suggests, Twinner2 has an identical twin sister, AND, as of two months ago, identical twin grandsons! Ctry is the wonderful mother of our other two grandsons, but only her oldest will be joining us on the cruise. We can't wait to experience DCL through the eyes of a 4 year old!

Food allergies? No. Allergic to waiting for October to get here? Absolutely!

 

[sullins5]

A-n-d Thought I'd show a 'shameless picture bump' of our theme for today and this year...

Didn't my family rock it? lol They know me too well!

And then my Son sent me this:

Can't get enough of the mouse!

And I share today's Birthday with Judith on our cruise!!! Happy Birthday Judith! Hope you're day is filled with !!!!!!

 

[Lauralooneyfordisney]

I have another question for you veterans. If I book a spa appointment online and they offer a special for it on the ship, will I get it at the special price? or is it better to wait until boarding the ship and book then?
