I keep trying to "like" this - technology overload!

haha! "thumbs up"

 

[Can't wait to cruise]

Wow, I can't hardly wait!!







How was the crowd?? do you think everyone onboard would show up for the "PremiEAR"??

Everyone that wanted a seat was able to get in. Remember that the repositioning cruises aren't normally full and not everyone including myself are big Pirates fans. The theater was pretty full and you don't want to wait until the last minute before the movie starts to get there and expect a seat front and center. The hype leading up to the movie is as much if not more fun than the movie sometimes.. Don't forget to bring a camera as you may get interviewed on the way in.

We saw the premEAR of UP on one of our cruises and it was the same.. red carpet etc.... They did it at 12:01AM so lots of folks are already in bed but the theater was still full!

We saw the PremEAR of Toy Story 3 on the Wonder on the last night of a cruise - with everyone disembarking the next morning. They packed all the families in the Walt Disney theater and filled the Buena Vista theater with adults! It was crazy! Cristiaan said it was the biggest crowd he's ever seen for a PremEAR!

We were all exhausted at WDW the next day - but it was well worth it!

 

[owensamo]

Just added my MIL and FIL to the Roll Call spreadsheet, since they're joining us on the cruise. I didn't add a lot of info since they're not on the boards and can be pretty sensitive about that kind of thing. But I'm sure they'll tag along for the meets and I've got my MIL signed up for the Champagne Girls! I'll update their info when they say I can.

I'm so excited! Less than 2 months!

 

[twokings]

Sorry to say, I don't have any info!!

We're looking at these too for a short train trip. I'll do a search for this....or have you already tried that? Are you in Granada for a while or do you transfer again?

Granada for 1 night, then renting a car and driving to Nerja for 1 night, then drive to Toleda for another night returning car there and training it to Madrid for 3 nights.

I did do research but was looking for somebody else to confirm my understanding of the train classes.

Thanks for the heads up!!

Thank goodness that my ADR for Palo is not on 5/19. I am so gonna stake out in front of the theatre that night...

 

[mom2tcdx2]

Well started on some of the small gifts for my FE. Got a few small things for the younger kids, not sure on the teens yet though. Still working on some adult ideas.

Sure can't wait for this trip to get here, I think I am kind of ready to start packing.

 

[turtlesmom822]

got FE gifts done, no packing as much as I would like to until the week before

 

[Happy Wanderers]

"Raise your glass...." also by Pink, going through my head

Thanks for joining in with my party spirit guys; I had not heard Pink's raise your glass before and will now add this to my ipod. I have listened to it this morning and now have happy feet again. I might have to go for a lie down now though to conserve energy for the cruise.. I am a retiree after all LOL

We had the toy Story 3 premear and it was packed. They showed it in both theaters and it sounds like both were overflowing. It was so much fun watching it with fellow Disney fanatics

EDIT: Doh, my wife beat me to it and posted this already!

Hope you shared their first names so I can make tags for their lanyards If not if you can PM me I can add them in - only need their first name.

Check out Rick Steve's website - he has lots of info on trains in Europe.

Checked the website this morning and there is still availability for every cabin category.....this may mean pixie dust for upgrades , but longer waits for GTY assignments.

Patience, i just need to be patient, but I so want to know! LOL!~ Just hoping we do not get deck 2 with the two small portholes.

Maybe we should start an upgrade dance ?



and bow a bit to the upgrade spirits, I am not worthy

I'm just happy to be on the ship

I have his book and I already referenced his website and I am still slightly confused. Thanks for the tip.

I'm doing the upgrade dance with ya!!!

Jim doesn't seem to have the same qualms I do - he added their first names to the roll call. I guess being their son, he's allowed.

It also may mean absolutely nothing other than that there are cabins available. On last year's EBTA and EBTA, the ship was not full (or even close to full), but there were still many of us in cat 11s while cat 8-9s were empty. There were cabins available to purchase at the port if desired.

Yeah, we can hope for pixie dust!

 

[TammyAlphabet]

I will happily pay for an upgrade if they are reasonable. It is usually much less expensive at the port.
