I did an update to the page. Added is a helpful link page. As things come up that you would like added, please email me or PM me! I will be happy to add it. Click the link in my signature to take you to the page.

Finally, I was able to transfer everything to an Excel spreadsheet. This sheet is available to anyone for gift lists, room numbers etc, and you can sort how you want.

So that being said.... here are a few stats as of today!

127 people!
97 Adults
30 kids (under 18)

Thanks for the update Debbie!!!! That's a pretty good start so far.

Have fun in Miss. You never know they might surprise you. I'll be keeping an eye on the score.

It is beginning to look more likely they will cancel this one. I will

them!

OUCH! Well, it's too soon to tell. But if Monica finds something significantly less expensive (and especially if it includes Amsterdam) we could be pulled away. There's also the possibility, that after all of us diehard Disney fans booked, the rest of the world won't think these cruises are such a deal and the price may drop.

And then there's value of the dollar too ....

Oh, we have just been talking about this today. John really is not impressed with Disney's pricing. He asked if they might reduce prices, but I said I doubt it, though perhaps for the lower catagories. The cost keeps rising with the dollar rate getting worse for us.

He was working out that we could have a month or so in Orlando for the same price as 12 days on this cruise. It also cuts out anything else for 2010.

All I can say is 16 months is a long time and the exchange rate could improve by a fair bit, plus prices may also change.

That is what I am hoping. In the meantime we just have the deposit(half) down so no need to worry or make definite plans yet. He was going on a bit though!

Lol! At least we got the lowest fare possible for our cabins Plus the $600 onboard credit and 50% deposit

Not that we can do it, but I just did a pricing, and we could do BOTH the EB and WB Transatlantics for about the same price as this cruise. Crazy!

I would not be surprised at all that Monica would find something less expensive. No matter where disney goes, there are going to be cruises that are less expensive.

I am not sure if this particular cruise will drop significantly in price but I do think that the Barcelona-Dover and the Dover-Barcelona cruises will both become bargains at some point. I don't see how either of these two cruises will fill with people just doing that cruise. I think most of those who book this cruise will be doing a B2B with either the Med or Baltic. And not everyone will want to do a B2B. So, I am expecting discounts on this leg as you see in the transatlantic. But, hey, what do I know? LOL.

I agree with that. Plus if you're going to spend the money to go to Europe you might as well get the most out of it, so even though they cost more, you're better off doing the Baltic or Med than just one of those by themselves.

I wouldn't mind doing the B2B, the only hassle is airfare from multiple cities.

Claire

I can either add magnets as an option to purchase, or you can save the picture on your pc, then print it on magnet paper if you want.

We stayed at the RCC for the ABD tour this summer. It was an awesome location and great rooms. Close to the subway, quiet and nice...

Hi .. I posted pictures of the Renaissance here on post 1627.http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=28434193&postcount=1627

Hi peeps! I'm back from a fah-bu-lous Halloweeny week in the World with my boys! We had the best time AND I got to meet the lovely Monica over a lush Beaches and Cream confection (photos to follow)...

Hope everyone's well and I'll catch up with the thread asap...

Hi Kaz!

So glad to see you got home safely. You're too sweet to say that about me I really enjoyed our time together too & can't wait to see you again (anytime)

Hope the boys enjoyed Universal's Horror Nights

 

[mishoe01]

Glad you had a good time. Isn't Monica great? I hope she doesn't leave us for another cruise line(are you reading this Monica?).

You wont lose me to Carnival - they've pulled the Liberty from Northern European cruises.

 

[mishoe01]

Yes, I have seen a few posts that have disturbed me greatly. I hope they stay on our cruise. It is going to be the best by far.

Tammy

Tell DCL to lower their rates & there won't be any question of us jumping ship (pun intended)

 

[mishoe01]

Monica, NO! your design is not c*r*a*p!!!! I like how yours is similar to my Med tee and who knows, maybe we will all go to the orient and then I can get that design too!
I will not tolerate you doing that! And you made the change I asked you to also!

Is it true that a thread can only go to 250 pages?
TTFN!

Rita - you're too sweet....I'll probably do something w/ the map one too.

 

[mishoe01]

Check out the final product in my signature. Do I need to send Gydell the link, or can she just copy it and paste it in the first post? Let me know. Thanks all!

That's great MJ - please pass along my "wow's" and to your daughter

 

[mishoe01]

Welcome back to our lovely cold snowy weather!!! Glad you had a good time and met Monica. We are meeting her just 4 weeks on Sunday.



It is beginning to look more likely they will cancel this one. I will

them!

So this is why I have a headache??

Looking very forward to our Tea
