My Hot Tub is not there, I only use the Cove Pool and Hot Tubs. I am always there around 4 except on embarkation day, then I am there about 4:20.

Here you go

Quiet Cove pool and Hot Tub

So picky. I'll just grab the first available hot tub without 10 people in it

Beware the human (ie Goofy) pool on sea days

:I'm with ya Tinkerbell0614!!!

And NOT only a countdown, I love the fact that we'll get a jumping/dancing number 3!!!! Can't believe we'll be exactly 3 months out! For us, it'll mean in 3 months we're getting on that plane and headed to Downtown Disney!

Well the good news is you won't be competing with me for anything

Dh and I have definitely decide to skip Palo this time around. We loved the dinner more so than the brunch, but we're happy not doing either this time. So at midnight tomorrow night, I will be sleeping just like i need to be for work Sat. morning

Speaking of booking though. Dh and I went through the Passporter which came today(2010's) And we really don't see any must-dos for excursions for St. Thomas/St. John.

So for the vets who have been here, what do you recommend other than the skyway ride?

 

[TIGGER/POOH4]

Good morning fellow cruisers. It is that time of the month again. Another month has gone by.
We now have only

months to go to the Magic.

YAY

We're rocking and rolling now

Quoted from Kritter and DVC4US on the main board

I got a call from concierge this afternoon and got the same information you did. According to the concierge manager DCL is going to enforce the port arrival times and there will be a separate queue area for those people who did not check-in online and select a port arrival time. She also told me that boarding time will not change. I think someone posted this before but this makes me think of bus stops at WDW. I can see different lines for each arrival time and if you show up prior to your arrival time then you will have to wait in your appointed queue area.

With the port arrival times it sounds like they are trying to alleviate some of the crowding in the terminal. And with the terminal not opening until 11am, it sounds like they are trying to alleviate some of the congestion outside the terminal with some cruisers leaving and new cruisers trying to show up.

I guess we will see what happens on August 2nd.

I have been keeping up with the thread on the Port opening change. If this is to be believed then come Aug. 2nd they will start enforcing the arrival times that everybody chooses in their online check-in. As of now, I still plan to leave check-in time blank. I am going to wait and see what is posted on this thread in Aug. before revising that.

 

[TIGGER/POOH4]

I can say I signed up for 10:30am checkin time 2 weeks ago and it now been changed by the system to 11am. I wonder what time the busses will now leave MCO. We usually catch the 1st bus out at around 9:45am. I would guess that will now be pushed back. This really stinks since is a Dream issue and not a Magic issue. The terminal will not be crowded for our cruise. This will only mean less time to checkin, get the kids registered and get photos with the characters in front of the Magic model. Oh well just go with the flow since we will still be a Disney cruise.

Ok so that will 8am sunday morning with me am I right ? ooo I can't wait I'm so excited.

I'm in one room for our booking and dh is in another I have been told they are linked but when I go on DCL I have to put in separate numbers and nothing says that they are linked. Will I be able to book us all into one excursion & me & dh into palo's through my booking or do I have to bring them up one by one.

Well if midnight tonight my time = 8am Sunday your time, then you are correct. It is 1:36pm here right now so 10.5 hrs to go. I will be in dreamland though. Can't think of anything worth having Rich stay up for tonight. So we'll just wing it when we're ready
