Sonya--you have me intrigued by your comment on the main board about Disney doing something to annoy you! Do tell!! (BTW, I absolutely LOVE your dress!!! WTG!! And good luck with the new job, too!)

Oh its a bit of a long story! Do you ever notice though how you email Disney with a simple question, and they are so busy telling you they are happy to help, and wishing you a "Disney day", that they don't actually manage to answer the question at all?! Anyway I am ashamed to say I sent them a bit of a snotty email back, which did the trick and now I am all sorted!

Hi everyone!!

The DFiance and I will be joining you guys!

We're in our early 30's and this will be our 1st cruise!!! We're also celebrating our 10th Anniversary together!!

Since this is our 1st cruise we can't book until 75 days out which I thought was tonight?? We are on the West coast so I thought I could log in at 9pm which is 12est but no luck. Am I a day to early?

Welcome!

I had a hard time last night getting into the Disney reservation also. It kept saying there was a system problem. I finally got Palo on Thursday night at 7:00. There were no Brunch times left. I guess we will have to try to get the Brunch when we get on the ship.


<

I have given up on brunch as well. I keep logging on to look for cancellations but am just going to wait until we board now. I'm not that desperate if I don't get it- I mainly wanted to have dinner there! Can't wait for that chocolate souffle!!

Ok, so I was finally able to book our stuff. Turns out our travel agent sent a check to Disney since we PIL cash and Disney hadn't posted it to our account by last night. Next time I think I will just use a credit card.

Anyway, we only booked a few things since we want to have some time to just do what we feel like.

Here's our plans:
Late Dinner Seating
5/17 Dinner at Palo @ 6:00pm
5/20 Cozumel Dune Buggy & Snorkel Tour
5/21 Metabolic Testing 9:30am for me & 10:15 for the fiance.
5/22 Bike Rentals @ CC
Would like to do Spinning classes & jog the deck 4 track as well.

BTW, I'm Chasity and the fiance is Gus.

Ohh I want to do spinning as well!!!! Last time I tried it I nearly collapsed afterwards, so it seems a wise time to try it again, with a belly full of buffet!!!!

 

[Hudson5&Lennon3]

i hope to be there

Sorry I missed you before! If you want to add any info to post #1, just let me know!

We are official, with one Palo dinner, one spa visit and a scuba and a highlights excursion in Cozumel. Now, can we just go get on board?

WTG! If you let me know your Palo & spa details, I'll add them!


I think I've got everyone else done. Oops! I'll update Chasity & Gus with their extra details!

I still think we need more pics added!! C'mon now, let's not be shy! How else are we going to recognize each other?!?!

Well, we haven't actually tried it yet. We're going to a local place next Sunday for our first class and while I'm excited to try something new, I'm a little nervous about keeping up. We work out with a personal trainer 2x a week but we're still pretty out of shape. I guess I should see how it goes first!

Ok -- have a longer reply working but had to share!!!

I tried the Kids Half Off (KHO) on the web for our sailing and it WORKED! I immediately called our TA and asked him to look into it. He called DCL, they said no, not for our sailing -- so my TA showed him screen shots of the online booking and they HONORED it!!!!!! I don't know how much I saved yet (TA is still working it out) but AT LEAST $500!!! They had to cancel so for a moment, lost all of my ressies BUT got the new reservation # from my TA quickly and got right back online and rebooked them all.

I wanted to share in case you are traveling with kids -- might want to check it out!!! Could be worth $$! Will let you all know when I have the final $$ saved......

Welcome!!!!

We are in our early 30's too --- ummm, ok maybe not, but I still feel like I am 25 so does that count? No seriously, Yoni (DH) is turning 35 on the cruise so he sort of qualifies -- I am a tad bit older....

Try packing 4 people into suitcases on American which charges for the first bag (and BOTH ways)! So we have to tack on that expense. It's hard to take pirate stuff, formal wear, clothes, and then I surprise my girls with a little something everyday from a character. I always ship a box to the ship. We also travel with 2 carseat bags! We have to pay $1500.00 extra for a verandah just to store our carseats! ?

I think it would be tough if we were flying AA. I have never done this before but starting to think about shipping a box. We'll see. I forgot about carseats -- need to think about that!

Have we firgured out how we can get together on Key West to try the KLP with chocolate??

I'm game if there is a group going. I don't think Yoni and the kids are all that excited and we have NOTHING planned in KW (except eat KLP).....

Would definitely do the villas again if my husband had a job! We are barely able to go on the cruise this year so can't splurge like that!

Sorry about your husband. This market is tough. We are both in technology and know how valuable our jobs are right now. Hopefully we will keep them but if not, no villa for us either!!!

Where is there a croc outlet? I see you are in CA. I am in the LA area (the western part of the valley).

We have a Crocs outlet here -- I love it but they rarely have the stylish shoes -- just the normal ones BUT they are only $20 which is a LOT cheaper than what they cost at Macy's or Dillard's.

I had a hard time last night getting into the Disney reservation also. It kept saying there was a system problem. I finally got Palo on Thursday night at 7:00. There were no Brunch times left. I guess we will have to try to get the Brunch when we get on the ship.

We have dinner on Thursday at 8:00! See you there!

Congratulations!!!! Yoni is diving in GC instead of Coz -- hopefully that was the right decision (I made it for him!)

Welcome! I have a 4 year old son and 7 year old daughter. Sabrina will bein the club with your son Andrew. Hmmmm....there are a LOT of boys on this cruise! Where are all the girls?

Wow! The search feature actually worked (and quickly) this time!!! Here's a link to the MagTabs. http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Product.jhtml?CATID=69021&PRODID=69209

Awesome -- Container Store! I checked and they have them in stock. There is one close to my office and I am going into the office tomorrow. Will go buy some!!!! Get to check something off of my list --- oh wait, don't think that was on my list of 5 was it?

Definitely no aversions to alcohol in this house!!!

We are late dinner seating too!!

I have done metabolic testing before and thought it was awesome. I did a MAP test and RMR test and found the MAP test to be the most valuable. Ok, I want to spin too! I have done that before and love it. It is a GREAT workout. I wish I could jog but what I do is more sadly somewhere between a walk and a crawl. There are people who walk a lot faster than I job. I guess it is better than nothing right?

Ok, still on a high from saving $$ on the cruise. Don't know how much but every little bit helps!!!!! Did read TR today, didn't do so much work. It is a good thing I go into the office these days -- it helps me focus!

When will we know the final count on the FE list? I need to seriously start looking at that...

 

[adedward]

I was adding an excursion about an hour ago, clicked over to Palo, and one brunch time was open. I selected it and hit continue, and everything froze and I got an error report. OK, who got my brunch????

 

[tigger2002]

I will try to add a few pictures of family.

Wife, son, and daughter at guess where....thats right the Beach Club Villas in Disney.

[tigger2002]

Guess where..... that's right Dollywood. We live about 1.5 hours from Dollywood and go used to go there often. If you need to know anything about the Smokies or Dollywood just let me know. Actually I have a website that looks kinda like the Dis about the Smoky Mountain area that I need to keep up better.

We are practically neighbors! I live in Alcoa and practice 3 miles down the road in Maryville! We go to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge all the time to eat after hiking in the park! We go also like to go out to Cades Cove and Greenbriar Cove all the time (when it's a little warmer) to look for and observe the bears!

 

[lillygator]

we used to go up there every summer - love Cades Cove!

 

[lucyddr]

It's only about 45 minutes from our house! We stop by the Apple Barn and grab a picnic and head out for the drive and hikes. It's supposed to warm up this weekend, so I'm looking forward to heading out there and maybe catching a quick hike...

 

[Albertofreitas]

Finally i made a reservation to Palo.
Me, my wife and a couple of friends for the last night on board: may 22 at 8:30.
Are we going to miss something important?

 

[Albertofreitas]

Well,
Me and my family got 3 cat. 12 staterooms.
1) me, my wife and two kids (upgrade to cat 11, at least)
2) My parents
3) A friend, his wife and one kid
Hope we all get upgrades!
