Hi Ladies!

Deposit sent, receive and CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!!!!

We are IN people!!!

You bringing LIVE ones this time Aisling?

I think we scared everybody away ...

 

[Aisling]

If a real rat ever came near me, I'd die of a heart attack. I used to see them all the time down on the subway train tracks. Freaked me out badly. Good ole NYC!

Congratulations Tig on having your bookings done and official!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Thank you dahling

Thank you Mom~

Of course the first email I get from them is a reminder to go get everybody a passport

Mom, you got a passport?

Some of you smart people went and got them before the last cruise

I knew the price was going up, so I got them last year and saved a few dollars.

Get the passports...this way, we can go with Nan to China! LOL

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I have no choice this time...

by the time we sail it'll be mandatory~

I am not worried about the price...

I have to remember to give DU (Dreams Unlimited) the info after I get the passports~

 

[nskjerven]

don't tease me...come to china, they have rum and rats there to ya know.

What email are you talking about I didn't get a stinking email when I booked.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I booked with the DIS' travel company Dreams Unlimited

and got FOUR emails as soon as the payment cleared ~~~

 

[nskjerven]

shouldn't you be in bed now?

did ya get anything good from booking with DU?

I was so happy I booked the repo myself and just decided to book NYE that day too. I figure at some point I can transfer for credits and stuff.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

We got $200 credit per stateroom and a quote about $1000 less than Disney had the cruise listed at.

and yes, I should be in bed...I'm sneezing my head off and doing a load of laundry and talking to you all tonight...

what are you up to?

 

[nskjerven]

someone arty needs to craft us a logo....Aisling, whatyadoing?

 

[nskjerven]

what was your quote? Perhaps I should rebook?

I'm csi las vegas baby

 

[tiggerwannabe]

For 6 of us under Disney on deck 7 it was $15000-
for the same, thru DU, with Mom's military discount it was $14000.

 

[nskjerven]

could the difference be because of the military discount only, as you can't do that on the web, you'd have to call for it.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

probably...did you get any onboard credit?

 

[nskjerven]

I should have $25 for using my disney visa, but like I said, I'm gonna move it and get some real bucks from somewhere, but thinking about Costco.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I thought about Costco...my BIL's a member

I guess we're ok and the quote I got is a good one?

I am a little out of the "know" since I didn't pay fr the last cruise

 

[nskjerven]

i'd need to make a spreadsheet to tell....seems hard to really know. I was reading all the posts about west repo prices and seems that mine is a higher than first out, but what really kills me is that the same cruise as ours different week runs just less than 6K cheaper than the holiday rate. oh well, with the kids in school I'm really stuck unless we bail on school and that's not a great habit to get into imho.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

stick a fork in me babeeee, i'm done for the night...besides, it's kinda hard to type with a shi'tzu on my arm

Goodnight New Year's Cruisers...

 

[trinibjill]

Good morning
It's nice to wake up to such great news.
On the passport, I have the paperwork - just need to process it. (And of course find where I put it)

 

[Aisling]

Hi gang!
