Hopefully by the end of this week things will be confirmed.
I am trying to get my excursions in line now. We booked outside of Disney .......
Not fun.

 

[tracielynn]

where did you find that? I really do not care if we do a back to back to Cabo, but I need to know so I can make plans!! I booked the beach, buggy, and swim on their website today and it only gave a choice of Friday. I guess I will just not try to plan anything for the other day cause who knows by then we might be back going to Mazatlan!!

Changes...changes...got to just roll with it!!

Okay, I am not sure I like the looks of that. Does that mean we are staying over night at Cabo? Or are we going out and cruising around and coming back? I appreciate all that DCL is doing to keep us safe! I know they are working as hard and fast as they can. I just hope they figure it all out soon!!

Not that it makes a difference I mean its a cruise vacation with Mickey, Im sure It will change another trillion time before we board. Relax it's vacation.

I am showing both. I think it makes sense to do Cabo back to back. Maybe they will have it all worked out before we sail

Not trying to stress anyone out. Sorry if thats the case!
Just trying to keep everyone up to date on what I found.
I don't care which day it is either, but for those of us with excursions outside of Disney....it is a bit stressful.

If you look under my cruise plans, under my reservation and click on details, that is what you see.(what I posted earlier... Back to back Cabo). My girlfriend is continually checking this week in March as she wants to come as well, just not booked yet. She said it was Cabo Cabo back to back today when she tried to book a new cruise ( under itinerary),


Maybe Disney just put Cabo back to back on all the cruises to get rid of the MAZATLAN day and they will fine tune the cruises BY DATE at a later time. Most of the itineraries were Cabo back to back. There were only a couple that had our itinerary .... tuesady and Friday Cabo.

I guess we will have yet another day to wait.....

Merredith and misand( sorry don 't know your name!)

I just called Los Veranos zip line to ask about the pick up location.

They suggest the disco as well. 10 min. Cab ride. They said to be there for 11:00 for the 11:15 pick up as they will not wait.

I asked about the pick up from the office and she said it was a 25 min cab ride from the port. The people that are picked up at 11:15 from the disco are on the same tour as those picked up at 11:45 from the office. She confirmed that.

We switched to a pick up at the disco for 11:15. Some how being on a bus altogether sounds better then a 25 min cab ride..... And less expensive.

So if there are any others booked at that time, we will be traveling together.

Looking sooooo forward to this excursion!

Has anyone had any luck booking excursions for Tuesday in Cabo yet? Anyone know when booking will be available?

I emailed them and got a response today. They said that they recommended Collage as well. They also said it should be about a total of 5 hours including pick up and drop off. That should get us back to the ship in plenty of time. I will be booking the 11:15 either tonight or tomorrow.

I was thinking I finally had some idea of what to do for Cabo but now the schedule is changing again. I would like to a horse back riding/ATV combo with an outside vendor. I think I will wait to see if they make anymore changes to the itinerary.

The email was from Martha Ramirez. I will email her again and verify.

We emailed Martha as you did got an email quote of the $35 per adult $18 per child but when my husband called on the phone he got a quote of $69 per adult $35 per child. We are going to print the email out and bring it with us. Martha is the booking manager there and we were told "maybe we have a special going if you got an email from her with a different quote"!
Its worth a try!

If we are indeed going to be in Cabo two days in a row, I'm pretty sure we will not be staying in Cabo. On our first Disney Cruise we ended up with two days at Castaway Cay because there was some maintenance they needed to perform to the ship. They explained on that trip that they could not stay in port overnight and had to keep the ship moving due to the fact that bugs will swarm a stationary ship overnight.

From the info I have Mazatlan has been declared "unsafe" for Americans. We will go to Cabo day 3, then to Puerta V, then back to Cabo so it is not a stay over.. Sorry to just chime in but wanted to inform..

 

[HappyBlond]

Does the pass in Puerta V to the hotel include adult beverages or just water, soda etc??

The day pass to the Crown Paradise Club is all inclusive (drinks, meals and activities).

 

[hopelea]

HappyBlond...my cruise details now say that we will be in Cabo two days in a row. They are still changing things. SON3DISFAN posted about the new change and I checked my ressie and sure enough, we have two days in Cabo back to back. They replaced the Mazaltan day with Cabo.

The latest information that is listed online in our reservation under "My Reservation" then "View Details" and finally "View Cruise Details" is that we are going to be in Cabo on Thursday and Friday. Under "My Cruise Plans" it still shows Cabo on Tuesday and Friday.

Hi friends, from your slacker list-maintainer.

I'm boarding the Dream tomorrow, and upon my return, promise to diligently update all the FE info, and new cabins that I have received!

As far as the intinerary, I feel your frustration. I OWN a travel agency...and I can't get a straight answer. I have determined that I will not give it a thought until Monday after my return, and by then, fingers crossed, Disney will know for sure what order they are doing our cruise. I'm not sure why ours was different in the first place, because the others were back to back Cabo (I'm thinking maybe there was a port conflict in Cabo and now they've worked it out??)

Anyway, you aren't alone in your wonderings, because I can't get much more info that you (not info that I'm positive is correct, anyway) and I even have an extra special number to call.

Weather tonight was CRAZY...Tornado Warning while we were on Living with the Land, the roof was black and the rain was coming through on some of the plants, it was wild. I thought we might have to be taken to some basement in Epcot.

 

[tracielynn]

Well I was putting the finishing touches (puffy paint) on our fish extender tonight and my daughter called me so I left it sitting on the floor where I was working on it. I cannot believe it happened...but our dogs ran right over the top of it!! The paint smeared everywhere (including my carpet) and it ruined our fish extender!! I tried to fix the paint, but it looks really bad. I am going to try to get antoher one, but if I am not able to please excuse how ugly ours will be!! Ours will be the one with the TONS of puffy paint on it as I was trying to cover up the smears. So sad!!

I was emailing the tour company (Tropical Tours)that Disney uses in Cabo about one of their ship sponsored excusions (beaach, buggy, and swim) and she emailed me back that I should wait to book anything because there will be changes to the excursions they offer due to the Cabo day changes. They are still trying to work everything out so I am sure we are going to see a ton of changes before anything is final. I will tell you that the tour company seems to be top notch. They respond very quickly and are very good about answering questions (I asked about 15). She was very nice and extremely helpful!!

 

[HappyBlond]

Where do I call to reserve? Sounds like fun!!

 

[tracielynn]

You book it right on Disney's website under Cabo excursions. It will only let you book the tour for our Friday Cabo day right now. Here are the details the tour company sent me..

(5 min) Meeting on dock and boarding transportation
(15 min) Buggy orientation and assignment
(20 min) Drive through town towards desert
(1 hr) Drive through desert with brief photo/rest stops along the way.
(1:20hr) Free time at beach for swimming and sunbathing
(30 min) Return to main pier.


You go to Chileno Bay for the beach time. The buggies are super cute and they look like VW Bugs that have been turned into off-road bajas.

Glad you are going also Denise. Did you cancel your Whale watching trip?

Yes, canceled! I was looking at the Crown Paradise Hotel thing in PV but need more information
