People have really learned to love the Double Dips, it was awesome last month. I would put a deposit down soon, and then check prices on board and transfer if it is a deal.

Pj

PJ, how do you put a deposit down on a date that hasn't been released? Do TA's take them in advance?

I just checked and fall 2008 isn't out yet... only through April on the DCL site. Is there a trick that I don't know? Wouldn't surprise me if there is!

 

[pjpoohbear]

Kim2, the rest of 2008 will be open for booking on Jan 31st. If you are doing a double dip then I would wait until the next day, or you will be on hold with all the crazy repo and west coast bookers. Or just head online and do a booking for a double dip. It looks like all the double dips have been placed on holiday weeks, including halloween, woo hoo.

Our TA is taking wait list info for those interested in the 2008 cruises to be released on 1/31. I think their list will be mostly repo and Mexican requests, but I think some other requests will be sent their way. Another advantage of waiting a day or so, pricing will be out. I'm really interested in double-dipping, but we haven't been back to the BC since 2003, and we have that itch to scratch too.

Christine sat down last weekend and totalled up the projected DIS around the Moon numbers. Her unofficial numbers count is 99. 99 Happy Haunts! This includes all of our latest additions.

Just one page of scrapbooking. That's what she said around noon. Its still going. I've got to get her to stop and help me.

sucks!! Why don't they make stainless clothes? I've gotten most of my list of things done today EXCEPT the tree.... now my excuse is no duct tape to tape the box!! I'm so pathetic!!!

Now I think it's time to work on the shirts!!

Pj - how did you guys coordinate the purchase of the shirts from the Disney store and did one person coordinate the add'l images that were added? What was the cost in the end?

 

[rer1972]

How funny is that... ? Been busy with work. Finally going to take the rest of my Christmas tree down today. Have to fit Church and the Gym in too! Oh... and sign Noah up for Spring footie (how's that Chris?)

I feel like this guy -- >

Hey Kimmie
I know what you mean (other than kiddos; I'm sure that's tough work in itself), it takes too much work to get into shape.

 

[pjpoohbear]

Someone saw them on sale, posted a link in the first post, lbgraves a mod was on our cruise and was able to edit the first post when ever it was needed, we picked a colour, lime, as a group and then I designed the graphic for the back and everyone downloaded, that wanted to, and added it to the back of their shirts. DisneyVegas1 even took the design and made it in to playing cards for every family.

The t-shirt was from the outlet section and was 4.99 and then there was a 20% code, so it was like $4.19 per shirt then the transfer. On family just embroidered their names on the sleeve, i really liked that.

I think the pics are great!!! You'll have to post more as we get closer to build the excitement for the cruise.

 

[DreamCruiser100]

Ok, I guess I am going to have to be an annoying newbie and ask.........................What is a double dip?? Is it cruising back to back?? I promise I looked on other threads to try and figure it out first

I have been emersed in all the trip reports and packing tips, door signs, etc..... I am way to excited for this trip to be 9 months away. I'm headed to Target later to pick up a binder so I can start putting on the little tips and tricks down on paper. Please let me know if I have missed out on signing up for anything...DIS trick or treating, T-shirts, dining ( although this is a tuffy because I can't decide which time will be best for us) I want to atleast be able to meet and thank all of you for all your help.

Not a problem. Everybody was new once. A double dip is a Disney cruise that makes 2, yes 2 stops at Castaway Cay. I believe they do a modified Western itinerary cruise. Other stops are Costa Maya and Cozumel, I think.

[Rhiluvsd]

I just spent some searching on what a double dip is too... LOL! Thankfully someone else asked before I did. Kidding of course! Kimmilee.. I pm'd you but I don't think it let me so if you want to email me privately my email is rhiwork@gmail.com
Basically I just thnked you for the welcome and said that I was really really excited to have this board....to make i through the next (ticker anyone) 9 months....
It is weird to think how I was so excited about the cruise when it was just me and mine..and now that there might be someone I am familiar with...well that kinda rocks in a big way....

 

[Rhiluvsd]

I was torn over whether to pick the eastern or western...

I have a question..Has the cruise price raised since it was released when everyone started posting?

 

[pjpoohbear]

I booked on day one, and the price has actually dropped about 5%.

I re-booked on board and my current price is about $200 less then the online price, and I have a $200 onboard credit.

We're in a category 7 cabin, and the price on our TA's web site has gone up about $250-300 from what we paid.
