OMG! I got THE call!!!

[4nana]

Wonderful news!! You and yours have a fabulous time!! Only in my dreams!! We got a price 2 yrs ago and like I say, only in my dreams...LOL!?!?!

 

[wdwstar]

Buddy Bear congrats ! we are so excited for you, i keep dreaming that we get a call and say "we have upgraded you from the engine room to the walt suite" LOL ok, we are booked in cat 6 really not that close to the engine room. hehehe . when are you sailing ?

 

[BethA]

We have stayed in both and 8530 is the Roy suite---you'll love it!

 

[MandyMommytoReaghan]

Congrats!!! Can't wait to see pictures and read your trip report. You have a beautiful family!!

Funny thing is the person in Inventory Control told me it was the Walt Suite. I also have a Directory of Services book from a prior cruise (2002) and the deck plan for deck 8 has the suites the other way. 8530 is listed as Walt and 8030 as Roy; made me laugh that both were wrong.

 

[DrCavin]

Not to put any pressure on BuddyBear but we had a DisMeet in the Roy Suite thanks to a fellow Diser having the suite that week It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get to see it, very nice & the staff took great care of everyone!!

 

[lbgraves]

Great news! I can't wait to see the pictures from your cruise of your princesses showing off the suite.

 

[castoff]

Congrats Jeff I would be thrilled if I got that cabin also.

OK, I;ll bite. What do you mean by "the staff took great care of everyone"? That kind of makes it sound like it was planned event.

Were invitations sent out? How many were in attendance?

Maybe I could charge at the door to offset the cost of the room?

 

[Aisling]

Congratulations! I wouldn't care if were the Walt or Roy suite! I just want one of them. I'm going to try for one of them for the Wonder in 2007. I want to do a 4 day cruise, and then a week at the Poly. I'm assuming that the Wonder has these suites, too!

Yes, for all intents and purposes they are sister ships and identical. For those in the know they will quickly make reference to the different retaurants (Lumieres - Magic & Tritons - Wonder) and the clubs, plus recent renovations have added to the list of differences and decors, but all in all they are the same ships.

You can find the Walt & Roy suites on both the Magic and Wonder. If you want the room for 2007 I would send over a fax request asap. I sent my request two years in advance and wasn't first in line. It appears that the room became available after at least one if not more people past on it before the option finally became available to me.

Jeff there are about 218 people from the Dis boards going on this cruise. How many people could you fit in your cabin? Someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe you can set up a party ahead of time and they will provide some trays of snacks and such.

218?? Wow! The room only sleeps 7; some people are going to have to go home!! How do you know it is 218 or so? Just curious, I wouldn't have the first idea how to track how many Disers are on that cruise.

 

[castoff]

Hi Jeff: We have a thread going in the cruise meets. Calling all 8/19/06 The Cruisin Castaways. Although the first page isn't updated we are keeping track.

 

[Vals]

Hmmmmm know any single unattached men around my age?? (47) that love Disney & Cruising?? Maybe just maybe I will meet the man of my dreams sometime either on the Disney cruise or at Disney-you never know! Never say never! Have a wonderful time on your cruise, with your girls.

You know how Dis'ers are, they PLAN EVERYTHING!!! They had the concierge staff bring all sorts of cheese plates, snacks, wine, etc Concierge kept coming back to check to make sure things were going well... We had about 15 or so, not nearly the 200+ that are on your cruise!!!

I vote for charging a cover-charge at the door, shoot I would pay for the opportunity to tour a Cat 1
