Oh see.....Chris knows I think he rocks....I'm just annoyed he and Robert are not gonna be there the week before the cruise to run rampant in the parks with me and Jason!! hehehe


Erik

What Erik doesn't know is that we're already planning on adding 2 more to our November trip after meeting him and Jason.

See.....and what CHRIS & ROBERT didn't know was that Jason and I were thinking of making our first ever trip to the west coast to DisneyLAND sometime in Nov. or Dec. possibly and we were gonna "force" them to use their points to get a room at the same time!

NOTE: There are some non-family friendly comments below the video, but the video itself is pretty dramatic. You can avoid the comments by not scrolling down!

Did a google-search on the subject, and came up with this info:

Appears it's a VERY small ship.

Hey, I figure if my grandparents made it in an immigrant ship with a small baby, I should be able to do it on a luxury cruise ship!

Okay, so someone on the main DCL forum just said they found if they logged into Disney, retrived their reservation and then emailed it to themseves the email showed an actual dining time. I just tried it and sure enough the email shows not only second seating but a time of 8:30. Wow. I wonder if that is really telling me the rotation. Would be cool to know that ahead of time (and be thrilled not to have the earliest of the lates as there isn't enough time to get from game shows to dinner and early/late is full of people who do not want to be on late at all). I'd love to hear if anyone tries this and what it says (will I be in the same dinig rooms with Erik and Jason's ties????)

Ok new stats!

Staterooms: 67
Adults: 132
Kids: 47

Ages range from our most senior member at 88 years old - Connieosci's DF Frank to our most junior member at 1 year old - Euchre_u's DS Kristopher. And Kritopher will actually be 11 months and will turn 1 year old on May 26! What a First Birthday!!!

Lets see what I can come up with for tomorrow.

How do you email yourself your reservation?

I got 8:30 also. I have a feeling that it is the generic late dining time. But I do believe that you can call a few days ahead and DCL can tell you.

Now the test would be for someone that is cruising soon.... Linda... does it and report back what dining time they got

When you are reviewing your reservation ... alllllll the way at the bottom is has a place to e-mail.

Does that help

Deb

 

[tig82174]

Never mind.....I figured it out. I emailed myself our reservation and it, too, says 8:30pm......but I think I remember my TA telling me that DCL hadn't decided if there woudl be staggered seatings this time around or how staggered they would be.

So, Hadley, you have the same seating TIME as us (and Chris and Robert...because we linked our reservation so we can eat together).....so maybe that means you'll be with us to enjoy our ties and tuxes and pirate costumes!

I did it and got 830p too!!!! Hmm...now if it would only list an actual room number!!! Maybe they are trying to keep us all together, or there are so few of us, they will only need one seating at each dining time...

Apryl - I live in Vero Beach and generally travel alone, too. This trip, sis and partner are coming with, but I tell them I go my own way. (I suspect they think I'm nuts, but I suspect THEY will be the odd ones on this cruise.) I'll look for you.

Any other self-described singles out there?

I guess I'm not really a single, but my husband doesn't plan to go on any shore excursions, so I am doing them alone, and often they go to bed early and I like to stay up! Don't worry, I am fair to my hubby, too, he likes to take walks on the deck by himself and he loves the rainforest thing. pat and I love the games and shows.

Good idea,

Kissimmee- Do you want to do this if we do the "before cruise BBQ"?

A few more locals have joined us.
Let's get all the Central Floridians together at your farm and get a banner made and eat BBQ!!!

HEY! I'm all for that! I will donate whatever we need! What if we made it from a plastic table cloth that you buy by the roll, then it wouldn''t rip and the weather wouldn't affect it! I am sure we could use paints on it!

 

[cquick]

Well, it looks like I'm the only one up LATE again! I'm going to bed now!
Welcome to the new people.

Also, That was a very small ship! Did you see how few lifeboats it had compared to the Magic?

But the other video of the crashing waves on a repo looked to me like Royal Carribean ship. But maybe they were in the NORTH Atlantic!

I am sure we will have calm beautiful sunny days all the way over! Good vibes everyone!

Hi All,

We will be arriving at MCO about 430pm. Which is going to be a little late to attend the wine and cheese tasting after traveling all day (we leave at 645am
which means being to the airport at 5am). We are planning on dinner and hitting the hay early, so we can catch the first bus to the port and join the secret upgrade at the port line...

Anyone else getting in later and staying at the Hyatt like to get together and meet for a drink or something pre-meet like at the Hyatt??

Laura,

We will be leaving SFO at 6:20 am. The flight has one stop in Atlanta and will arrive at MCO at 4:30. We will also be heading to bed early... we have to get up in the morning... to get in the upgrade line...

I would love to get together!

I'm game but the when is an issue.. How does May 5th sound? Saturday before we leave?

You can preview what we have to offer here (note Geocities limits the bandwidth on an hourly basis so if it does not work try again in an hour.)

Hi everyone,

I did not get anything from DCL in the mail today, but I did receive DS4's passport today---took 2 weeks! (But we had to pay an extra 60 bucks to expedite it.) It is still peace of mind to have it.

I also forwarded my reservation to me by email, and I am an early diner. Sure enough, it listed 6:00pm as my dining time. I hope it is accurate, we like that time. Maybe they are not doing staggered like someone else said....

I cannot believe it is already time to start receiving things from DCL, first this surprise, and then docs! Wooo Woooo!

There sure have been some SCARY threads on the main forum lately...I am a pretty neurotic person, so it does not help for me to see these with us only having 6 weeks to go.... I am not waivering, just a little nervous. I am sure things will be fine.

 

[padalyn]

It's on the main page, under Disney Cruise Line, then about halfway down the page: a couple of really interesting websites: view them at your own peril!!!!

OK I am not finding it either - a little more help please? I looked all over the Med parts of the site, even the little ad tags on the left - where is it - or could someone post a link?

Thanks

 

[NHdisneylover]

Hi Padalyn,
I am starting to think that ALL late seatings will say 8:30 and ALL earlies will say 6:00 and it is only a default and not real information. DARN IT. However, I'll try to tell you how to eamil to yourself. You have to log on and retrieve your reservation. On that first page you see once you retrieve it, go ALL THE WAY to the bottom. There is a place where it says email this reservation and there are three rectangles to add email addresses into.
