I would suggest the Eastern Standaard Time be used, as that is how the System Clock for DisBoards is set.

As the new year begins, I am going to look into the linked dinning plan. I have a person who organized our group of 210 on my last cruise and it worked out that early seating had the latest early slot and we were seated at the tables along the far right of the dinning room, worked out really well. We have lots of time, final numbers have to be handed into the Dinning Manager one month before cruise time.

So if people would like to PM me with which seating you are assigned (or your current assignment and wish for a switch), your cabin, first names of each person in your party with ages, and if you are interested in linking dinning with the group.

This does not mean you will be at the same table as everyone else in your seating, but it will let us be seated near each other and group families in desired tables. We also may be able to request a particular rotation for late and/or early dinning groups.

Also please think about participating in the DIS T&T trail, should take about 45 minutes on the night of Halloween. We could also do it as a treat drop at each room that day or over the whole week (we did a goodie drop over the week of my last cruise, very fun to see what was left each day!)

Also do we want an offsite web page to co-ordinate activities, dinning etc?

Pj

I am not your leader, I just have access to a leader (aka empress of the green people, she has a button) who will lead me, lol

I would suggest the Eastern Standard Time be used, as that is how the System Clock for DisBoards is set.

I know one or two of you North American folk's think us Brits are a sandwich short of a picnic But we aint that daft as to get out of are lovely warm beds at 5.00am just to say HELLO....

Welcome Disneygrl36 and DH....

 

[Babs417]

You seem like a great leader to me. Never to many leaders. Happy New Year to everyone

 

[Babs417]

I forgot to say GO EAGLES

Pj - we don't have an "official leader" so by all means please do!!! I'll help you in anyway I can. I'm not sure how to set up a website, but I LOVE the idea of linking our ressies... I'm one of the few with late dining though... it may be too late for us to change but add Noah and I to the list of being linked. I'll send you a pm with the info.

Also, we'd love to hear more about the extra special activities for Halloween that happened on your past cruise! We need to revisit the t-shirt idea and get that going.... I can't wait!!!!!!

Kim1,

on the move from late to early, we had over 40 people moved from late to early at about the three month out mark this year. If there is a large enough group it can happen. Actually anyone in our group who wanted early, even after DCL closed it, was moved (if they had been paid in full) to early as they were linked with the rest of the group. And we were able to chose our rotation as well! it looks like PLA is the best one this time and sit early dinning at 5:45, what do you all think? This would put us in Lumiere's for Formal night and AP for Semi-formal night, and Parrot Cay for Pirate Night. Sounds great, eh?

pj

I know people who know people,
