November 3, 2007 - Western on the Magic

Our travel agent told us we would get documents between 10 and 7 days out. I'm wondering if it takes longer if you go through an agent. Maybe the people who already have their documents booked directly through DCL. Did you use an agent?

That is a good thought, yes we did use a travel agent.

We booked throught travel agent and received our documents, but she said that the documents were sent directly to us instead of to her first.

Do they usually have first time showings in the theater or are they already playing films or films already available on DVD. My hubby is a movie nut. I can't believe only 16 days!!!

My wife says that they do screen new movies sometime but I am not holding my breath for Enchanted as it does not start until Nov 21 in the theaters.

They do screen new movies when they are released on the Friday before or the Friday you are on the ship. If it is the Friday before you will see it on Pirates night in the theatre as a PremEAR at sea. If the movie comes out on Friday while you are on the ship you will see it at Midnight Friday morning and then the will play it a couple times during the day when the ship is at Castaway Cay. They will not show any movie at all before it is released into the theatres. They definitely won't be showing Enchanted. What they would do is show the most current movie that they have release that is now probably The Game Plan in the Walt theatre before the Pirate Party. All 5 of the last NJ week cruises had a new release movie PremEaring on the ship but I think with The Bee movie coming out they must have pushed back the release for the Disney movie.

Hi Everybody, we are now having our DIS Meet at 3pm near the Goofy pool so it doesn't interfere with the Safety Drill. Hope you all can make it, looking forward to meeting everyone!

Guess what I got today? Doing my little happy dance.

 

[SamIAm21]

Yippeee! Hopefully, I will have mine either today or tomorrow as well. I fully did not expect anything from Galaxsea for at least another week, so this is a surprise.

Weehoo!

 

[Deemarch]

But I have a new job and I didn't even get a chance to look at them except to verify that they were mine!

Two weeks to go!! WOOOHOOOO!

We got our documents today!

Hello all! Our family of 3 just found out we will be on the November 3rd sailing. We have wanted to cruise with Disney for a very long time. This cruise is our 13 year old sons "wish trip", made possible by the "Make A Wish" folks. He's so excited to be going that I'm almost glad we have such short notice! That being said, I have no idea when to expect documents. I have read the packing list thread, but other than that I am clueless as to what to expect. So, we would appreciate any suggestions. Hope to meet some of you all in a few weeks!

I love Make-A-Wish! It is the charity I picked through our works Combined Charitable Campaign. Have a great time on the cruise; if we see you we will say hey!

 

[iwannabeminnie]

Good wish! He could have wished to spend a day with Britney Spears.

Welcome!!! What a fantastic wish trip. My godson was granted a trip to WDW through Make A Wish and it was just incredible! I wish you and your family a magical trip! One suggestion I will give you is try not to do everything it can be overwhelming. If you have any specific questions, just ask. Hope to see you at our DIS Meet on Boarding Day, 3pm near the Goofy Pool.

 

[wishkidmom]

WOW Thanks muches for the responses! Yes, Make a Wish is a great organization, and we are so blessed by their generosity. We will be limited by our sons exercise tolerance anyway, so there is no way we could do it all. In fact, we probably won't even get off the ship except briefly in the ports. Does anyone know if the ship docks or tenders to the ports? Also, how strict are the kids areas regarding age groupings. Our "Big Dave" is 13, but in many ways he is much more like an 8-10 year old..and he is very small, only 64 pounds. As for wishing for Brittany...not a chance...Although I was afraid he'd wish for Hannah Montana! How will we find the right folks at the meeting?

The only port we tender at is Grand Cayman. I'm sure if you talked with a supervisor from the kids clubs you could make arrangements for your son.

The DIS color is lime green. So just look for me and my family, we will be wearing bright lime green Disney t-shirts. I also asked everybody if they wanted to wear lime green or a name tag so you could be identified. Also, if your interested we are going to do a grab bag game. If you want to, bring a little Disney item, everybody that comes to the meet and brings something will drop it into the bag, then when you leave you get to take something out of the bag. I just thought it might be fun! Look forward to meeting you.
