Leslie, we always seem to run into that problem to so we usually do atleast 1 private excursion each cruise. (My DS is now 7, 8 on cruise, but on his first cruise he was too young for anything. We also have my DD 3 1/2 and my DNephew will be almost 2 going this time.)

This time we are doing the Lord Sheffield pirate cruise in St Maarten. It's supposed to be really good. Its sounds similar to the Dubloon cruise DCL sponsors. They go sailing on a mast ship, then they have snorkling and BBQ & open bar. All ages are welcome. We have 9, including all 3 kids. (We found it through shoretrips but it's a little cheaper going through their site directly)

Congrats to everyone for getting almost everything you wanted

Doubloon Cruise is what we booked. First timeres worried about getting back on time. Have you done the Doubloon any good? The one you are signed up sounds great but it docks back at 330 1 hour before the ship leaves what if something happens and you are late?? Lynn

Hey! Gang!

Yesterday I checked on the DCL website if my categorie was sold out (12 and no still available), so I saw that the price had been droping from the price I paid back when I bokked!

So its a 200$ credit for us!!!

Now, my agent told me by email that I would receive the credit on my credit card, but I would much prefer to have it as on board credit.....

As this ever happened to one of you????

Did you call Disney directly or notice it online, if so where. We have a cat 9 wondering if that has gone down? If so do I or my TA call Disney for the difference. Unfortunatly we have made full payment would we qualify for that? Lynn

WOW.....you go girl!!! I had to giggle when I saw this! In the past I was thinking that something like this would be awesome info since it is hard for me to keep track of who everyone is. Is there really only 1 nine year old girl?? Ya know....what would also be really great information too..... the names of the kids by age. Your info is an awesome surprise...thank you, thank you, thank you!

Okay, this is based off of Woody's list on page 5 - and digging about a bit in the posts to see if I could find more info...

But this is the list as it stands right now, listed alphabetically by user name - with info about kids and family...

I couldn't add Lynnie04's stuff to the totals yet... no details (Lynn? )

But I'm one of those obsessive information/spreadsheet types... and I was wondering how many 'fun things to surprise other DISers with' I might want to bring with me!

If I need to change or update anything - let me know, eh?

74 days and counting!

Lynn I was paid in full when I saw that it had gone down. I saw it on the DCL site. So I called my TA and he did the work.

I.m gonna have the credit but on my credit card.

 

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Update on my credit that I talked about !!!!

Its all ready on my credit card account

Now I'm gonna put the same amont on OBC!!!!

Come on people, 74 days!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great news on the credit FrenchSnowWhite!

Yndy....I love the spreadsheet! Great job. Hate to be a pain because it looks great, but is there some way to put our "real" names near our user names? I always get confused with everyones reallife names vs. user names Not a big deal, I can print it out and write the name son it myself. I may post this next to my computer for easy access.

Lynn, I think we have to be back on the ship in St Maarten at 7PM? That's what the DCL site says? 4:30PM for St Thomas. (The Lord Sheffield trip is in St Maarten) Now I'm worried about it BTW, we also have an 8 yr old DS, he'll be going into 3rd grade...they start school next week.

 

[PurplePrincess4]

Doesn't Frenchsnowwhite have 2 7 YO DD's plus mine would be 3 7 YO girls instead of 1? ---

NEVER MIND......I see that they are not going! : :

Hey Leslie!!

My family is from Hamilton Ontario and we are flying in on Friday night as well. We are leaving from Buffalo NY and should land in at around 930 friday night. We are staying at the Winngate by Wyndham (MCO) and taking the Disney shuttle the next morning . We hope to be in Cape Canaveral around 1000am so we can board early and start our vacation. As my user name suggests it is our first dc and I am getting very excited! Hope to see you there!

What grade will he be in? Is he quiet? Mine is quiet at first and then a little silly, only child thing I guess.

OH im so sorry! My 8 year old is a DD - not DS! Duh! I wrote the wrong abbreviation. Sorry!

Absolutely!!
Not everyone had their real names on the list that Woody had...

I was planning to do additional info spreadsheets as time goes along, like names, maybe if people are comfortable with it, cabin #'s...
Sort of like a DISer shipboard directory!

But only if people want to be included... I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable!

So sorry PurplePrincess, but this time its only mommy & daddy on this cruise!!

Next year will be our family cruise!

 

[FrenchSnowWhite]

So here's our real names:

Frenchsnowhite is : Manon

and DH is : Yves

And for now we have a cat 12 GTY, but no cabin # yet!!!!

Spread sheet looks fantastic -
There will be me and my husband Ken - another couple and my daughter and her boyfriend.
every one else that was supposed to come with us has had issues along the way and we are left with just six of us. Their loss .. but we will party on ....
We are flying in the day before staying at the Hyatt at airport . This will be the first time we stay here. Has anyone stayed here before?

Lynnie[/QUOTE]

Lynnie, we are staying at the Hyatt just like you the night before!!

If we ever cross, we'll have pink princesses ribbon on our luggages!!!

 

[zack&alexmom]

Yndy - spreadsheet is great. If we are going to play Dis tag then we don't want to have the room #'s showing on the spreadsheet. It is more fun if you have to search for the doors.

We are flying in on Friday and I think we are staying in Port Canaveral. We plan on being at the port at 10:00am. It is myself (Linda), DH (Roger), DS (Zack), DS (Alexandra).

So I figured I'd share!

 

[3lilpigsnprincess]

Wow yndy i LOVE your spreadsheet that's awesome! I'd love to have people's real names & rooms #. I dunno, but maybe there's a way to email that chart to people privately, so its not posted here for the world to see.

So what is Distag???
