Magic, January 16, 2010--Winter Day Castaways

So what happens to your bags if you do upgrade @ port? Never thought about that. Your luggage tags have your name & rm# on them. If the porter takes the bags @ the curb & you upgrade inside, how do they know to bring your bags to your new room? I'm sure they have some sort of system but I never really thought about it. Well I guess it really doesn't matter too much that my aunt didn't get her tags. Seems like they have ways of figuring it out anyway.

We have upgraded a couple of times at the port our room steward usually will go get your luggage and anything that is in the old room for you.

I just got a note from TA about the room change and she said to change the room number on our luggage tags Boy will that get confusing if we get an upgrade at the port!!

Were they able to move everyone? You sure had a big crew to maneuver.

Yep! We ALL got moved!! And we're closer together now than we were before - so excited!!

We got dusted too! I was going to check for an upgrade at port, but found out today that we were upgraded (cat 9 to cat 6) room 6562! SOOOO Happy!!

HEE HEE - that was our room before we were upgraded to a cat. 4 its like musical rooms!

We were upgraded to a cat 6 from a cat 9 . Wahoo that just mad my day. Tommrow is the last day of work until I go on leave and we leave for Florida.

The good news is if you got an upgrade and can't find your luggage, just ask a fellow DISer. Maybe we should start a list of luggage discriptions.

Seriously, the porters have the current manifest and can give you a luggage tag with the correct room number. If you upgrade at the port, I use to recomend to check outside your old room number only because you luggage would most likely go there first and then get moved. You will get it faster if you check yourself sometimes.

For those of you with teens, how do you handle homework? Our school has the 9wk block system where they do a year's worth of work in one semester. I'm thinking we are going to have to get an internet package and check the assignments daily. I know DD is looking forward to that.

Found a swim suit, and it wasn't a terrible experience!

Now I need a sarong. Well, I don't NEED one, but I don't care for my old one either. Cost Plus won't get them again until March. I'm going to try the Hawaiian store near where I work out, just walking in there makes me feel like I've gained some Vitamin-D.

Congrat's on getting Palo!! We love Palo would eat there every night if we could

We also got Pixie dusted we got upgraded from a CAT 10 to CAT 8 we were in SPH 5024 got upgraded to 6524

Just checked on line and DITTO!!! Almost exactly, lol! Upgraded from CAT 10 to 8... SPH to deck 7 outside! Now just trying to make sure the rest of the family is right there too...

I just want to be upgraded to you guys "old" SPH rooms

We are currently in a cat 9 (upgraded from 12) Can I request a backward move when I'm getting the upgrade free? The old saying "beggars can't be choosers" comes to mind.

Hey 4goofy4dis - I'll let you know if I get any of your luggage

Only one more school day for the kids and then we are off to (hopefully) sunny Florida!!

 

[4Goofys4Dis]

Hey 4goofy4dis - I'll let you know if I get any of your luggage

If anything shows up that isn't yours PLEASE send it my way...I'll be the one with nothing to wear!!

Thank goodness you have a clothing optional beach option in St. Marten.

Haha! We may all have to be left there!

Of course, I can think of worse places to be left...

 

[pit303]

I am still trying to pack!! Why can't I get past always being last minute?? And of course trying to pack way to much but hate to leave anything home.

 

[harleys mom]

I have the same problem... I have stuff spread all over the guest room, but nothing actually in a suit case.
My husband has to take the dogs to Fort Wayne tommrow and I have to work all day so I guess I will be packing when I get home.... We fly out on Friday in the afternoon, so at least I can finish in the morning. I am really trying to pack lighter but it not working...

 

[AimeeJ]

My last night at work before the cruise! Only 9.5 more hours to go.

I have my FE gifts packed but that is it. I'll be doing laundry and packing tomarrow night/Friday. When my Dad flies in Friday night it will really feel like vacation has begun.

 

[brennanavery]

Don't feel bad. I have not started packing for myself or the 3 kids. Husband is in charge of packing for himself. We don't leave til Friday afternoon so I keep thinking I have plenty of time. I am always a last minute packer! I figure how hard can it be to throw some shorts, shirts and a swimsuit (plus a few dressier items) together! I'm always running around at the last minute too! Go figure.

 

[ltzol]

I'm getting there... about 75% packed. Dog gets dropped off at the "pet resort" tonight (why am I a little sad about that? I'm sure he'll have fun...)
Kids are excited because today was the last "wake up" before we are waking up to go to the airport. Tomorrow at this time we will be at Hopkins, waiting for our 9am flight!

 

[swimchick1984]

I leave for vacation in 8.5 hours. I am so excited.

I am excited tommrow we are going to universal.

 

[williamson_ja]

We leave tomorrow morning. So excited!! I am almost packed. Got to throw in the few last things... toothbrush, makeup bag, etc. Is it really almost here? I won't be able to sleep for excitement tonight. lol

 

[hgon76]

I think I'm packed??? Honestly, I've been doing it little by little for months now & I can't remember if I packed some things. Guess sometimes it doesn't pay to start early.. So working all day then going to do a last minute sweep of the suitcases to make sure we're all set. Especially DS14, I packed most of his stuff but left it up to him to pack shorts, underwear, etc. Knowing him he'll completely forget the underwear. Teenage boys, gotta love 'em! Car is picking us up for the airport tomorrow @ 2:30pm. Flight at 6:50! I can't believe it's here.
