POSTCARDS
Closer to the cruise (last pif date) I will post of list of who is participating and their cabins


Do we need to give you the people count and cabin if known for the stateroom tour now? We'd like to add ours...

The first post lists the semi-formal night on both May 25 and May 26. Which is correct?

That would be my screw up. I will look into it now. Thanks for letting me know.

First post is corrected now - I had typed it on the wrong line when doing the calendar. It is May 25 semi-formal according to what I was told on the phone by DCL a while back. Even went back to my handy notebook to verify my handwritten notes from that night. Of course, DCL can change those dates.... but that's what they were as of about a month ago that I posted.

Will there be a stateroom tour? The link took me to postcards.

I enjoy Janet Evanovich's books, lived in Mercer County NJ for awile, love to read about the Burg!

No problem! I will ask again the next time I call DCL for something to see if there have been any changes.

OMG Were you on our Alaskan? June 4? I had the SAME problem and I think we were the 2nd cruise to Alaska. I will update on Monday. Thanks!

I LOVE Disney, Disneyland is my happy place but I must say that the Disney cruise reservation cm's I have never had great luck with. One call I will get one answer then I will call back and the answer has changed. When we went to Alaska we were one of the first cruises and we were told there would be fireworks, then none and back and forth as others would call. It has been the same with getting everything with this cruise settled. My TA called and told there were no flights yet we saw them on line then they put TA on hold for a long time came back and well there were flights. We did change our flights latter because it was $600 pp cheaper out of Oakland than Sacramento.
I think there is so much information it is hard to keep them on the same page. Let me know how it goes.

Sorry I've been away and not taking care of a few website requests. Been swamped with work. So bad we even forgot we were supposed to do all our bookings last night. Wife wakes me up on the way to work saying that people on Facebook are talking about their bookings. Thankfully we seem to have gotten everything we wanted.

While trying to figure out where one gets to do the wine/beer packages, I realized I could finish my check in. Thank goodness I did and thank goodness it asks for flight info and thank goodness that I didn't just go from memory. Air Canada cancelled both legs of my flight! Anyone travelling out of Toronto May 17th like I was had better check their flights.

Mind you, you think, meh, they'll just put us on something else. Guess what they did? The 2nd leg of our new flights takes off 45 minutes before the 1st one lands! Now I'll probably have to spend forever on the phone trying to work this out.... grr....

Btw, what am I mis-remembering about the wine packages? I cannot find any way to purchase those.... They exist, don't they?

Ugh. When airlines make rebooking mistakes like that it makes my head spin. Hope you get it sorted asap before everyone else sees it as well!

Holy moly! That's awful. I hope you get it fixed without much trouble.


I checked us in last night but didn't do any Palo, can't decide when And it wouldn't let me chose an arrival time as we have Disney Air and are in a hotel the night before. I hope that dosn't mean they'll make us wait until late.

That's really wonderful about all of you WBTA folks getting back on together

I did do a Palo dinner and a brunch. I believe I heard we're only allowed to do one each? When I tried to book a 2nd Palo dinner, the website gives you the impression that you've already got something else booked at that time - no matter what day you look at. It took me several attempts to catch on to what was going on. (I did say it was early, didn't I? )

Been on hold 45 minutes so far trying to fix my flights. There is only 1, count 'em, 1 option that gets me there before 4pm - the last departure of Galveston Limousine. And it means a 5am take off time. Grr.... Someone shoot me. I've done that flight more than once lately.
