I wonder if they printed out the docs for the first half of the alphabet first? My last name starts with D and I recieved mine early.

Another reason could be that those who may be getting upgraded get theirs later. I didn't get upgraded and no one else who got their docs mentioned an upgrade either. It is something to hope for as you wait for your docs in the snow

 

[disneylarsen]

I have not received my docs yet either..........
I booked thru DVC as well as Miss Eeyore (I think ) and when I called DVC the other day the girl was kind of snotty and said that nobody is suppose to receive their docs until 2-3 weeks prior...

This was my first experience with DVC and the first trip that I booked as a new member and they did not seem all that friendly.

Oh well, I could just be crabby because I can't find my passport and I have to send for a new birth certificate and pray that I get it back from Wisconsin in time.

Please tell me that I will not be held up in any lines with only a birth certificate, my husband will never let me live it down. I always misplace things.
thanks,
Dawn

disneylarsen we have used birth certificates only on the last cruise, no problem.. Sounds like you had a bad time with the DVC CM , I would call and ask for another CM t get some real answers.


strawberryblonde we are " T" so the alpha order doesn't work.

<font color=red> Well, that shoots that theory! Most likely there is no rhyme or reason but DVC does seem to be a bit slow. </font>

Hi I just booked this cruise on a FL res. rate. The only problem is my DH has to work. The kids have spring break and the price is right so I decided to go ahead and do it. We were on this ship 2 years ago and had a great time. I'm a little nervous about traveling with 3 kids alone but I know we'll have fun!! Anyway My kids ages are 13(DS)grade 7, 10(DD)grade 5 and 4(DS). They would love to hear from other kids. Thanks

 

[geffric]

Hi Mouse5 welcome..

I have a 7th grade son and a fifth grader too.

I'll PM you and the kids can email.

Susan

 

[mouse5]

Susan, My seventh grader will only be 13 for 1 week before the cruise. Did I read your son is the same age?

 

[Magicboundagain4]

Welcome Mouse5

I too have a 13 year old son that will be aboard. His name is Jacob and your son can e-mail him at "onlystrikes08@aol.com"

I have a 15 year old son and twin 8 year old girls as well. This is our 2nd Magic trip-last one was 2 years ago in March.

 

[geffric]

mouse5 Yes.. it will be fun to get the three boys together..

Geoff and Jacob have emailed a few times , Geoff is looking forward to meeting the boys.

mouse5, I am adding you to our list under the March 20 unofficial cruise list post. Kathy

Morning everyone.

Our email is down so I am not able to get the posts as they come in. I had to go searching for our link. Good thing the search was working.

I got a call from AAA yesterday... Having already received our documents I figured that it would never hear from them again. February is DISNEY month for our local AAA. They called to say my name had been drawn for the prize for the week. My name was drawn last year and I got a calendar. This week it was an autograph book. Granted we have 3 or 4 of them but they are sending it to my daughter, it will help her be excited.

So we can keep our list at the top, I'm BUMPING!!

Have a great weekend.

1 month from today at this time we will be waiting at Pop Century for the Hummerzine to pick us up for our ride to the port. (really less then a month)

 

[62travelDisney]

Thanks guys, I am DVC too, maybe that's why no docs.:

 

[tecdavidt]

We are not DVC members so who knows why ours are late. Last Spring Break we had the same problem. In previous years we had gotten the docs up to 6 weeks before and really nothing is different in our booking we used the same TA, air through DCL, pre-night at the Airport Hyatt, Disney transfers so go figure. Good thing we know what to expect when we get them. Now on our Princess cruise it was different. You fill out the doc information via the internet and when you get the docs, they are ready to go! That was so easy compared to any other line we have been on. Less than one month to go! Kathy

 

[AboutTheMouse]

We are still waiting for our docs, too. We used Allseastravel, and they said that we would receive them 2 - 3 weeks before departure. So they technically have 1 - 2 weeks before I start pestering them.

Four weeks to go.

Four ... weeks ... to ... go .

FOUR ... WEEKS ... TO ... GO!!!

(not that I'm counting or anything!)

I was reading the dining room menus yesterday and found myself practically drooling...it is getting so close I can just about taste some of those yummy dishes

At this very hour in 4 weeks our airplane will be taking off

 

[Miss Eeyore]

Exactly four weeks from this moment we will be boarding "wing and a prayer" airline for our short hop up to Seattle, and our flight to Orlando. It is about the only thing keeping me going right now.

Our lives are a bit rocky right now....especially for my dear husband. He is the one who really needs the trip. And I know that a cruise is just what he needs....the absolute ability to relax. He had a terrible tragedy at school this week......one of his wrestling coaches died in his arms......victime to a sudden vascular accident......and this guy is two years younger than we are! So the sschool and especially the wrestlers are so upset.

So we are dreaming of sky blue Carribbean seas.

[tecdavidt]

Marilee, that is terrible. I hope the cruise helps your husband.

I also need to post this to all in our group: some might of noticed we are going again this Dec. 28th on the Magic. This cruise is a secret to our daughter. It will be our Christmas gift to her. I was working away on a project and thought, oh my, what if somebody noticed the trip posting somewhere and mentions this when Stephanie is around . So shsss, over that cruise. Sadly, by going then we will not be going on the Magic next Spring Break.

Only 4 weeks!!!!! Kathy

 

[geffric]

Kathy glad you told us of the secret..not that anyone would intentionally mention it but now we know to keep it real quiet...


Marilee -- PD to you and your DH.. how horrible..


In a few weeks we will be there.. all the months of planning, waiting , anticipating will be over...
