October 11-18, 2008 Disney Magic Parrothead Pirates in Paradise Chapter 9!

It told me there was an error and I had to select a 2nd adult, but I can't.

I see there is a note that says because I have more than 5 linked rooms everyone has to book stuff separately. Hmmmm.

Hey Erika!!!!!!!!! I got that same message about having more than 5 linked rooms????????? I have no clue what this is about??

Good morning all!

Hope everyone got at least on or two things they were after last night! I went on for my nephew and his girlfriend since they are in Michigan fishing and had no access to a computer. I was able to book Palo dinner but not at the same time as our party of 4. ANd no brunch times were available. Guess I'll be heading to RBD on embarkation day. I wish just once I didn't have to do that!

I was able to book the St. John Eco Hike for them as well as a couple of spa appointments. And I added the Hot Stone massage for myself!

For those of you who did not get things you wanted, do not despair! I have always been able to add and adjust once onboard.

Have a great Monday everyone! I'm off to collect DS from the pool. (He swims every morning from 6-8!) We have the state meet this weekend in Rochester. Fun, fun, fun!

This may explain the problem:


Please note: For Guests in travel parties with 1 to 4 staterooms, if another Guest in your stateroom or another stateroom linked to yours is currently in My Cruise Plans, you will be unable to retrieve your reservation below. Guests in travel parties with 5 or more staterooms must retrieve each reservation separately to arrange activities in My Cruise Plans.

Interesting!!

Well at this point I can't even figure out where I'm going on the site to be able to book something. Not sure how much longer I'm gonna deal with this crap.

Don't give up! Try again today or later this week once the hits slow down on the site...it took me awhile to figure out where to go on the site as well. Or use the 1-800 number to do it the old-fashioned way, if that's still allowed!

NASCAR note for you Maureen: What a horrible Indy race yesterday! Goodyear needs to get its $%^& together about those tires! At least another 'Yota didn't win this time...

What ticked me off is I played around with the site a little while ago(last week maybe) and wound up on the booking page. But of course it told me my wondow wasn't open. I know I'll get pretty much what I want when I get htere, cause we really are not going for a lot. BUt there was no reason for it to be so freaking slow last night. Dialup or not. Never have that kind of problem with any other site. Don't know if I'll have hte patience to play with it again or not b4 we go.

As for Palo, I really don't care when or if we go. If it were a 3 or 4 day cruise I'd just skip Palo altogether. But its 7 and ppl keep saying its nice soo...

As for NASCAR, I've NEVER seen the tires that bad b4 in my life. Sometimes they start off bad but almost always get better as the rubber gets laid down on the track and the competition cautions can stop. And from what I hear Goodyear had to talk NASCAR into the emergency shipment of tires that arrived late saturday

Can't wait to hear what Mikee says tonight on his show. I gave up on the race and surfed for awhile. As for the Toyota cars, I'd be happy as long as it isn't Kyle Busch(can't race clean for anything) or Denny Hamlin winning. I'd just love to See Michael Waltrip win a race.

This doesn't apply to me but i know some of you might appreciate this info. I just opened my mousesavers Announcement. And if you need to buy park tickets , they say to buy them RIGHT NOW!! They are putting a lot of stock in a rumor that the prices are going up unnanounced on SUNDAY.

I'd actually pick them up myself if I thought I were going to the parks any year soon. Since they are good forever.

 

[kritter]

Goodnight, all!

Workday tomorrow, registration Tuesday, and professional development the rest of the week.

First graders arrive next Monday ready to learn to READ!!!!!!!!!

I've enjoyed participating in the board this summer and hope to be able to keep it up during school!

Jamie,,

Enjoy the first day of school. First grade is the grade I used to teach..Such an amazing year for the kids... My twins are going into first grade too this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are waiting to do the Palo and spa reservations for later as well. At one time on the thread someone mentioned you can "stop" by the bar in Palo for a drink and desert, that would be good enough for me!

NASCAR: I kept hitting and missing on the race yesterday while doing the piles of laundry. I knew it must have been bad when I kept seeing Tom coming up every 20 minutes from the basement playroom (his weekend "Man Cave") and grumbling about how horrible the race was, with yellow flags every 10 minutes! I'm with you on Kyle Busch AND his brother! And I don't really like Jimmy Johnson either!!!

Yeah, I read that. It's dumb though, because you cannot separately arrange a couples massage, it won't let you book it without showing 2 adults to select, which I couldn't do because of that message. Oh well, I wasn't for sure going to book one anyway, so it wasn't a big deal. If I had been wanting to book excursions for my whole family it would have been a pain though, because I would have had to have done 1 group of 2, then logged out and back in and done the others, hoping the same thing was still available.

Good luck this week Jamie! I hope you get everything completed that you need!

My kiddos report back to school this morning. I am easing them into the early mornings, as I don't report back until Friday, so until then, I can take them to school. But after I go back to school, they must go to a sitter in the morning. Mark (who turns 11 on Wednesday) is starting sixth grade and thinks that he is too old for a sitter, but I say oh well.

Hope everyone has a great day! I am planning on finishing up Drew's (the 8 year old) pirate costume and then I want to start working on his halloween costume (he wants to be a penguin). I know it's early, but someone booked up my fall break with a big old boat!

My kids must be tired this morning since Hanna just got up and Hope is still sleeping!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I heard that too about Palo. Wouldn't mind seeng that Chocolate Souffle everybody keeps talking about. Never had any kind of Souffle.

OH yeah the Busch brothers
I will say this for Kurt, I think mostly he slides into old habits but makes an effort these days to race cleaner. And I think his wife is wonderful for him, because his ego's been in check almost since he married her. Now Kyle I could just kill.

Jimmie's OK, but not 1 of my favorites. His crew chief has really grown on me since he started doing Mikee's show though

Jr is my baby, but I am officially at the point where I will take anybody but a Gibbs driver winning the race. I'll even be happy if Robbie Gordon wins. How bad is that?

I wonder who did that

Nice when they sleep in I'll bet. I'm not sure if i was ever an early riser as a child.

They have always been the BEST sleepers even as babies!!!!!!!

Are you and DH in separate staterooms? My DH and I are in two different rooms because of the kids but all 10 people in my linked reservations showed up on my Cruise Plans page. I guess that's because we just have 4 rooms linked.

The linking of 5 rooms is where it got funky. ANd you have a point about the couple's massage - how were you supposed to get around that one???

If it's something you really want to do, I'd book it onboard the first day. I'm sure they hold out a lot of reservations for people who don't book online. Plus there are always cancellations, especially with spa appointments.

Home from the pool - now off to the grocery store and Target. Dentist appointment for DS at 12:30 and then drop him at MOA. I can't wait for these kids to get back in school so I have a life of my own again! Actually, I love summer and the "no schedule" even though I have to get up every morning to pick up from swimming. At least DH takes him - 5:45 every day!

I saw that too this morning! I'm ordering today - my sister and I are heading to the Grand Floridian after the cruise. It's our birthday gifts to each other and from our husbands. Can you say Food and Wine Festival! We are staying until Tuesday because we figure we'll need a break from our families after the cruise! JK ANd I'm sure all the laundry will be done when we return
