New Embarkation times

Tbuot- sorry I can't answer that since I didn't book any spa appointments. I can go home tonight and see if it was noted in our navigators. Jo

went 9/13 and 10/18, both times they started letting you on at 11:45, first in line 9/13 and about 8th on 10/18, they dont do the countdown anymore

On 11/16 the spa didn't open for ressies on the Wonder until 1pm ... so we sat in line & partook of libations from Signals

What time is checkin starting now?

Yippee! Earlier times are great.

Tbuot - I'm looking at my 11/15 Magic Navigator and it says spa open house was from 12 - 8pm, and you could schedule appointments from 12-3:30. Also, I believe check in started around 10:45 - we were third in line at the non-US line up, and by that time there were probably about 15 families in US line up. We had no problems driving into the luggage drop off area a little before 10:30.

HI,
We went on the Oct. 11th western and we did get to board earlier, but couldn't get into our rooms until 1pm. Debarking was the same as before. We didn't hurry to get off as we were told to, but waited until most people were off so we didn't have a long line when we got to our bags.
This time we will wait till time to board before getting there because DMIL isn't able to stand for a long time. If we wait until most of the line is gone, it will be a lot easier on her. I just hope there are some Palo times left when we get there. We are cast members and are using cast pricing so we have to wait till the last to get those ressies. Oh well, that's what you get when you use the cast discount. It will certainly be worth it though.
enjoy the countdown, Renae

Does this mean that they'll have the DCL buses pick up cruisers at the WDW Resorts earlier???

Melody,
I don't know about the buses because I live in Orlando, but there weren't any buses there when we got there last time. I saw them from the deck after we got on board, so presumably they got there later, but I'm not sure. Hope this helps a little...
