Hi. I hope all of you had a great Holiday Season and New Years. We're going to be joining you on the 1/12 Disney Cruise. We're waiting for our documents as well. My wife, 2 daughters (12 and 9) and I are going on our 3rd Disney Cruise. (4 day and Eastern were great.) This was a Christmas gift for the girls (kinda of a last hurrah before we start getting into the "boys" and "cars" years....) They instantly started a countdown chart. My youngest is on pins and needles... and so is my 12 year old if you can cut through the "coolness"...


Hoping for great weather, lots of fun, and that all of you have a great time.

Was wondering if anyone knows if we can request the same server as last time? (Hadn't tried it before so just wondering.)

Also, one piece of advise: There's usually a talent show that happens on Friday. If anyone's doing that, make sure you bring your own music (if you need it.) DCL won't provide it for you.

Yep, we got 'em! All appears to be in order.

One thing was a bit strange. The transportation coupon reads that we should turn it in at the airport upon arrival. However, our only transportation is for the return ... ship to airport. I called DCL and they do have the correct trip in their system. They said there's just one version of the coupon.

Hi WonderCruiser!
Thanks for the information about the talent show. I would LOVE for my kids to do it. They just have to work up the nerve. Here at home, they pretend they have a rock band and they "perform" for the other neighborhood kids.

We'll be seeing you in just 10 (almost 9) days!

does that mean it has arrived?

 

[laura_hattaway]

Woo hoo! Yup, we got our paperwork today, too.

*sigh* Sister, IF you'd read all of the Navigators... There is a talent show, and there is a rehearsal for it on, I believe, Thursday. So, anyway, you gotta figure if the kids will do the rehearsal, they'll do the show. We'd love to see them!

Michael, you are so cute! And it's a great idea, too... I see people on the DIS boards complaining when cruise meet threads three years old keep popping up on top of the "active" lists.

Now you're going to have to help me; I have a Facebook profile, but don't actually use it often. So how do I join the cruise "event"?

 

[WonderCruiserLP]

Hi All, We got our paperwork today. Hope you all do too. I talked to the DCL rep and they said due to holidays, they were sent on 12/31.

hsmom, the talent show has a lot of different acts of varying talent; all are cute and worth at least seeing. It may be tough to get your kids up in front of a crowd on a Disney Cruise, but we didn't find it to be too bad. My girls are competitive jump ropers (Oldest was 2nd in the country last year for Double Dutch) and they normally get up in front of a bunch of judges/crowds so they did that for their talent.

Apparently the Walt Disney World Marathon is the weekend of the 11th-13th and both the full and half marathons are sold out. So if you're staying downtown, make sure you factor that in to your traffic times because im sure there are going to be an insane amount of people.

 

[Eeyore77]

Yeah my documents arrived yesterday as well. I was on ! YEAH!!!! The next week and a half cannot go by fast enough. I haven't started packing yet, but I did have to take my suitcase in to be fixed since Delta airlines broke my wheel... They treat baggage with such TLC. It will be ready next wed I hope and then let the packing fun begin. This weekend is final prep weekend... I cannot believe that it is so close. YEAH!!! I am so like a child right now... LOL!!! Rest and Relaxation. I soooooooo need it.

So did anyone ever decide if there was going to be an actual scheduled meet on the ship?

I got my Docs!!!!


Scary story, though. My UPS guy, for some unknown reason, decided to lay them on the ground by my garage door instead of put them on the front porch as always. I emailed my agent this morning, found out they were delivered yesterday and panicked. Went out and looked, and sure enough...tucked behind a garbage can just laying on the ground were the envelopes!! We have had horrible wind the past two days...lucky they didn't blow away!


It's official....we're going!!! Everyone do the "happy document dance" with me now!!

So I am walking into the kitchen, and through the window I see the UPS truck down in my driveway. I have a long drive way btw. So I am like sweet. I walk to the front door. And there is NOTHING there. I was like what the hell. I walked around and I couldnt find anything.

Cris, I would definitely call your travel agent at this point. Tammy was able to give me a tracking number from UPS for my package! Good luck!!!

Maybe your check bounced! Maybe the bank went into default and never forwarded the cash to DCL! Maybe your TA took your funds and went to Cabo for the winter!

It could come yet today or tomorrow. But if not, just bring your signed forms that you printed from the DCL website and you should be just fine!
