October 13th, 2007~"Cruise-A-Palooza"

[jenmack]

Okay, I am stil waiting... Still know brown/manilla envelope. As of last month we are paid in full too. I wonder if it has anything to do with booking cruise directly thru DCL or via a travel agent.

 

[lawhit88]

We booked through TA and have received ours (they were sent to our TA)

 

[davidls]

Concerning those infamous manilla/brown envelopes with cruise info in them, do you think they be sent out alphabetically? I know I'm not the only one here that's feeling alittle left out. We need a group hug here!!! Probably when I get home from work today ours will be in the ol' mailbox, I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope!!!!
Everyone have a good day today. Sail date is coming up fast!!!

Welcome Tiger Lily! I sent you a PM.

No brown envelope here either....

Hope to get it soon!!

 

[jenny2]

Welcome Tiger Lily and Tiger Lily's DH!!!

We got our envelope a few days ago... and we haven't paid off the cruise yet

And I think we'll be travelling without passports too. I just can't seem to get on the ball to get them ordered, and we'd be cutting it close now.


The good news is: WE LEAVE FOR WDW IN THE EARLY AM TOMORROW!!!

It's my DDs 7th birthday tomorrow, so we plan on leaving very early in the AM (we're driving) and getting there in the afternoon... swimming for a while... then it's off to Chef Mickey's for her birthday dinner... and then to MK to get her birthday button and ride Space Mountain (her choice)!!

Have a great week everyone!! And if anyone needs a logo modified with your name... send me a PM. I did a few more last night and sent PMs or emails to those of you who asked for them.

No brown envelope for us. We booked with Disney. Not being mailed alphabetically, as our last name starts with A!

Still waiting......

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Nothing in our mail today except bills. I'm not sure whether DH is ready to determing bookings anyway. He does not like to be very structured. Me, well I like some kind of plan at least a little something. Oh well.

Jenn have a fun WDW trip!

We are also paid in full, originally booked on board and then switched to TA. When I saw this thread, I called DCL a couple of days ago and she acted surprised that I didn't have the excursion information yet and offered to mail it directly to me. I'll let you know if/when I get this and what's included. I am assuming that it is the same brown envelope information. We still can't decide on excursion, so I would like to see the information in the brochures. It is probably the same as the information that I have been looking at on-line, but it's funner to have a booklet to look at with the family.

 

[homew3]

Got our brown envelopes in the mail today!

 

[TamieH]

Our brown envelope came in the mail today!!!

 

[APOOHFN]

We got our brown enevelope a couple of days ago and still need to pay off the balance.

I love the printing/packing that DCL does w/the brochures (the initial booklet that comes w/the free DVD) and this one. Little things like this humour me.

Jenn ~ I'm so glad to hear you, too, are not going to do the passport. I was afraid to be the only one

 

[margaritaqueen]

We got our envelope a few weeks ago. I took it as a reminder to pay off our balance so we can then struggle to pay for all the fabulous excursions!! Our friends still have not received theirs for the cruise. Don't know if they are going in alphabetical order. (We are G's and they are P's, or maybe by time booked, since we booked a fews weeks before them.)

Anyway, we STILL have not gone for our passports - have to do that soon. DH still has to find his naturalization papers so he can get a passport, since he doesn't have a birth certificate. Talk about a mad rush. I don't even want to put the $$ down on paper for fear of having a anxiety attack or worse!

I hate to even say this, but I could use an extra month to get everything done! (Although I can't wait to get on board!)

Don't say it! How could you? No, I totally know what you mean, although I would probably stress myself out more with an extra month. You know, all that anticipation and excitement building up. I can only take so much.

Well, we still haven't recieved the infamous, "elusive" brown envelope. Our last name starts with a "C" and we booked our cruise a year from this last February so it seems to be no rhyme or reason. I guess some of you are "blessed" and are the "chosen" ones.
That's okay, it's all good!

 

[cindrla]

Hello to all...Long time no talk...

We paid for our cruise in full last year...and still have not received the 'brown envelope' either. As for passports, we have opted out of getting one as well.

Cruise time is coming fast....We are so excited!!!

 

[jen-n-greg]

HI all We we received our brown envelopes on Saturday! I'm so happy I got the mail that day instead of my kids -- so the secret is still safe Won't be long now, I figure summer vacation will fly by and then will all be sayin 1 month to go I have also decided against passports, since I don't plan on going again until 2009.

 

[jenmack]

Welcome jen-n-greg! I see that you are from Minnesota too! I too, am a Jen from Minnesota. Enjoying the weather?

 

[jen-n-greg]

HI Jen I'm LOVIN the weather The kids and I spent 3 hours by the pool today and now we are off to DD's softball game Talk to ya later

 

[davidls]

How ya'll doin'? I know you all have been concerned about my root canal, more so then me. Right??? Well I had the root canal today. My dentist keeps telling me laughter is the best medicine, but HE is the only laughing!!!! Today he walks in with this mask on his face and I sais doc you can't hid from me I know it's you behind that stupid looking mask. He just laughed and laughed. (I think there is something wrong with that man.) And, the whole time he was working in my mouth he was whistling!!!! And, come on sing it with me, he was whistling, come on you know it, "Whistle While You Work." Even thru that stupid looking mask I could tell what tune he was whistling!!! He's and evil man!!!
Well still no envelope he at our household. DW and I have started racing each other to the mailbox to see if there is an envelope in there or not. (Most of the time she beats me.) She cheats. Well, we'll keep looking. Talk to ya'll later.

 

[jenmack]

I got it! Or, should I say them? We received TWO in the mail because with 6 of us we have 2 connecting rooms. Anyway, I now feel satisfied (complete).

 

[APOOHFN]

Grrrrr...I just happened to check my flight itinerary and noticed the airline changed it pretty significantly! We are supposed to arrive in Orlando around 4:20pm and now we don't arrive until 10:20pm! If I change my rental car p/u time, it's $5 more so I'm keeping the original rezzie.
And on the day we leave, instead of leaving at 5:25pm, we leave at 4:50pm! That won't give us much time at a park - Grrrrr!

//end whine

I'm mailing in my passport renewal app today but not expediting it. If I get it before the cruise, great. If not, I have my birth certificate.

David ~ ouch about the root canal and the crazy dentist! Hope you are feeling better today!
