May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 2

[kimerinc]

Kim, that sound correct, this was a big issue with people wanting to transfer/combine monies from pre 01/31 bookings with ressies booked on 01/31 by someone who was not the ressie holder, i.e. a TA is the ressie holder, and the client is not the ressie holder in DCL eyes.

Pj

The reason I know this is because my cat 3 reservation in December could only be transferred to a new reservation and because it was non refundable, I had to transfer the funds. That is why I decided to go with the TA because I could not do the ressie online.

hey, what does the little button with the quotes and + on it do? you know, the one between quick reply and quote?

OK, that is the coolest thing added in the upgrade. Really bad for post count, but much easier on us.

Ok, as you read through the posts, click on the quote+ on posts you want to respond to, when you get to the last post you want to respond to, click on the normal quote button, all the posts you clicked on will be in the reply box and you can read and respond all in one post.

Wow lots to catch up on! We just bought our 1st house so the next month and a half is going to be very busy (we close on march 23).

 

[Tigger1221]

I know it is early but we would love to have dining parteners on the cruise. We have Late seating. It is just the 2, we love kids so thats not a problem, or singles, or other couples.

We will be at WDW May5-13th if anyone wants to meet up!

Really you need at least 12 to play bunco.....we have played with as many of 40. Really, there is no limit.

I have played BUNCO forever. Maybe that could be my contribution......I can plan a Bunco Day. To play 13 rounds, it takes about 90 minutes. In our neighborhood we have BUNCO for kids, BUNCO for teens, BUNCO for moms. We have travelling BUNCO. Several of us are lucky enough to have a second home. We have one in Bethany Beach DE. Travelling BUNCO we travel somewhere and play while we are there. We sitesee, shop, go to the beach, or do whatever is available where we go.

If we did DISNEY bunco, I would need to know how many would play, so we could get the right # of Baby Bunco prizes!!

Maybe I can get this on the WEBsite.....can someone PM me what I should do?

HOW FUN!​

I'd play...it's been a while since I played bunco, but Disney bunco sounds like a ton of fun!

DH and I will be bringing our SkipBo cards. Anyone who wants to join us at Cove Cafe is welcome!

Love SkipBo! We always travel with our Phase 10 cards as well.

 

[LiserAnn]

and I have a problem with Pumpkin Spice Lattes at Starbucks, thank goodness there isn't a Starbucks near us (closest one 30 minutes away)...
but when I visit NYC...watch OUT!

Look what my techy DH added to my signature - guess it is definitely a go!
Add us to the passenger list!

Lucy-you got the logo in your signature....you're one step ahead of me!!!

This is a great idea for another list. Laura, we should keep a spread sheet of people who want to have dining partners, don't want dining partners etc. What do you think?

We could help people hook up with couples, singles or families with others of same interests.

Your DH is absolutely correct. Regular Starbucks tastes.....just plain burnt. You have to add the milk and flavors to it then it is yummy!

Never been in a Starbucks either. The bad part is we have an Espresso Bar in most of our stores!

Phase 10, yeah! Sea day two covered! An aside, I found Lime green Bicycle brand playing cards yesterday .

I hope someone can answer this for me. I booked my ressie on line 1/31 with a confirmation price. The ressi I had booked for 12/15/07 was to transfered as soon as my TA came back from her cruise. I just received an email telling me she transfered all my info, to the WB. Now she is quoting me a different price. Shouldnt I get the orginial price when I booked on line 1/31
Virginia.

ulittletinker, I wonder if you have the same situation that I do? I made a reservation when I was on the Magic last June for Dec. 07 (since that was as far out as you could book at that time) with the intention of moving it to a date in 2008. Although my travel agent had that reservation number, when the phone lines were so busy on the 31st, she made my reservation for this cruise online, which created a new reservation with its own number. Now I'm being told that the reservation she made online, for that price, can't be transferred to the reservation I made onboard (which gives me onboard credit and a discount). If I want to get the discount and OB credit, I have to make another reservation at today's prices under the number of the first reservation.

Is this the situation you're in? Please let me know.

Thanks!

I think they need a starbucks on the cruise ship. 15 days with out green tea latte is going to be a record!

I'll be sad to part with my usual Vanilla Latte and my Chai Tea Latte....but I guess 15 days on the Magic is a good compromise....I think I'll live.

 

[LiserAnn]

My name is Vanessa and I have never set foot into a Starbucks.....!

Really?! That's amazing, and awesome...think how much moola you save by not going to Starbucks!

Wow lots to catch up on! We just bought our 1st house so the next month and a half is going to be very busy (we close on march 23).

Oooooooooooooh....Congrats! I just did that last Feb. You're gonna be so happy! I'd have to say my favorite part was no more "landlord white" walls!

Good idea!

I am also a fan of the decaf 2% latte with SF hazelnut.

ulittletinker, I wonder if you have the same situation that I do?

Yep, DCL cast members either lied or were mis-informed themselves when they TOLD people to just book a new reservation and transfer later!!

Really?! That's amazing, and awesome...think how much moola you save by not going to Starbucks!

Eliminating a Starbuck habit saves BIGBUCKS!




OK...just playing with the new MULTI-QUOTE button! This is the COOLEST thing! Now when I have several pages to catch up on I can just "+ all the things I want to respond to and do it in one post! No annoying multi-posting, no forgetting to answer people's question or welcoming newbies or loosing my place!!


,
EDITED TO ADD: Even and 'old timer' can learn new stuff!!

 

[HollyTyler]

Love SkipBo! We always travel with our Phase 10 cards as well.

So tonight I've learned what SkipBo and Bunco are, but now another one is added! What in the world is Phase 10? I'll never keep these all straight!

 

[KrisannB]

I like my green tea plain...just hot or cold and in a cup...

Yes, now you know...I am a freaking weirdo who doesn't like or drink coffee, drinks her tea hot or cold plain..oh and no funky fruity flavors either in my tea. As for my morning caffiene rush, well Dr Pepper or a Coke works fine for me. Oh, and I LOVE dark chocolate and White chocolate but can ignore milk chocolate...better have pahrumpgirl start on my fish extender and she can put a great big scarlet W on it for weirdo...

I am with you!! I do not drink, nor have I ever drank coffee - love the smell but just can not bring myself to drink it. I do like Hot Chocolate from time to time and just five me a coke in the morning for caffenine if I need it.

People often question me about having "hot" chocolate in the summer - they think it is weird and say it is a drink for cold weather - of course they say this as they are sitting there drinking their HOT coffee - I see no difference - hot chocolate, coffee, hot tea.

yes, but couldn't you have called a landlord to unfreeze your pipes?

 

[NotSoLittleMermaid]

How has this turned out? I have been told flat-out by my travel agent that I'm out of luck, but it seems like I've seen at least one person post (not on this thread) that their travel agent was able to get the reservations "merged".

If it would be better to answer with a PM, please do.

Thanks!

Do you know about right clicking on the "quote", then opening in new window so that you don't lose your place when catching up?

Thank you so much! I always get mad at myself for not remembering where I left off!
