WooHoo! Getting close!!

Cool picture.

 

[tlcoke]

This email went out to everyone booked on PCC 2.0 today but I got some emails bounced back as 'undeliverable':

We are getting close to Podcast Cruise 2.0!!!

If you haven’t done so already please make sure you take a minute to complete the Disney Cruise Line online check-in process for your cruise reservation. It will speed you through the process at the terminal and give you peace-of-mind that it has been taken care of before you leave for vacation.

You will need to register on the Disney Cruise Line website here - http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/ - for this you'll need your Disney Cruise Line reservation number (which can be found in your Client Services Area of our site - http://www.dreamsunlimitedtravel.com/reservations/res-check.cfm#top-clientservices-dcl) and the birth date of the lead passenger. (Hint: If that date doesn't work, try the date of another member of your party.) Your Disney Cruise Line reservation ID number is an 8-digit number listed BEFORE the group number.

Please make sure you print all appropriate pages as prompted through the process and bring those with you to the cruise terminal at check-in.

For those of you who signed up for the DIS/Dreams Transfers and/or the Swan pre or post-cruise nights you can double check your reservation status here http://www.dreamsunlimitedtravel.com/PCC20/PCC20_start.cfm

If you have signed up for the DIS/Dreams Transfers and plan on leaving a vehicle at the Swan during the cruise please email me as the Swan requires some additional information from us.

I look forward to seeing you on the cruise!!!

John

PS We recorded a ‘cruise primer’ this week with general cruise information as well as some info specifically related to the Podcast Cruise – you can find that here http://www.wdwinfo.com/disney-podcast/listen.htm

John, I didn't get an email. Did you send it to only the lead person on the reservation or did it go to everyone? And if mine bounced I would like to know what it said, as my email address hasn't changed.

Two Week from now, I will be making my way to the Poly for my first dinner on property at Kona Café.

What he said in his post is a copy paste from the email

WooHoo! Getting close!!

Was this taken while parasailing?

Two weeks from now, I will be on the Magical Express bus on my way to Kidani Animal Kingdom.

So sorry I will not be getting there early enough to join Tracey for dinner. Guess my dinner will be at Mara.

Or maybe a late dinner at Sanaa... Can anyone tell me about their experience at Sanaa?

Since there is no ship docked, how do you suppose Mike got to Castaway Cay for this photo? Also, I don't think the parasail tether rope is 2,000 feet long. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume your post was a joke.

Nope - not just to the lead name on the reservation.

Your's was one of the ones that did get bounced back. I quoted the email in my post exactly as it was sent. I specifically posted it that way because I did get several come back as undeliverable.

I am going to try to resend the ones that got bounced back to me.

Thanks John..
Just make sure my email address has a period between the T & the C.

That was taken from my escape pod from the ISS!

i was just a Bing away!

Did you like how I had the Cast Members on the island Typeset "Gorda Cay" near the 1st Tram stop.

Oh, and thanks Paul for the use of that Military Drone so that I could take the picture!!

Thanks for the benefit of the doubt. In truth, I was confused. I have not been to Castaway Cay, so I do not really know the lay of the land.
After I posted, I looked at the photo again and thought, hhmmm... isn't that empty spot where the ship should be?

Escape pod or military drone - both make sense to me!

Evening Everyone....had a busy day today...I cleaned out my DD old room and decided to paint it. I picked a lovely color and got to work......guess I'm recovered from the surgery since I got the whole room done and then steam cleaned the carpet......I wasn't excited about them moving out, but I am looking forward to getting my house back....now I just have to decide what to bring out of storage and where to put it.

I'm really tired, think I'll go to bed. Another busy day tomorrow...since I have to start some items for Thanksgiving Dinner.

I wonder if this service might be available by our cruise (Since this is a "rumor", we could have them on our cruise!)

Not sure if this has been posted yet - still don't quite understand the search option. This was posted on another forum today.


Disney will offer guests the use of "Portable Wave Phones" on board the ships of the Disney Cruise Line starting in December (December 16th on the Disney Wonder; December 18th on the Disney Magic.) The portable phones can send and receive phone calls and text messages from other Wave phones when used on board the ship or on Castaway Cay. The phones do not work off the ship, and are it doesn't sound like they can work with other carriers - you can use the device to call other Wave Phones on Disney's network, but not to call home.

Each stateroom will come equipped with two of the phones; concierge staterooms come with four phones. There is currently no charge to use the service, but you can rent additional units for $3.50 per unit per day if you need more than come with your room. There is a $250 charge per unit if they are lost / stolen / damaged, so that's something to consider before handing them to your pool-bound kids.

Disney is planning to use these phones to replace the pager system currently used by the Youth Activities department, which means that one parent/guardian must carry the unit at all times. If you don't have kids in Youth Programming and you don't want to use the phones, you can turn them in and Disney will turn off the service for your stateroom for the cruise.

From what I have heard, people on the December 16 sailing actually got information about it in their cruise documents. I wouldn't mind if they decided to deliver wave phones to our rooms when they deliver the bags from DU though. Think of it of a 1/4 capacity beta

 

[jediobiwan]

Sorry for killing it, I really didn't mean to!

 

[mdvlprof]

Might be slow this week, with Thanksgiving break.

i've been away all weekend...

You might want to check your flight. I think it moved again.

 

[mainegal]

Ack! I think it is about a half hour later than the last change.
When I booked it was 1:25 - 4:30. Now it is 4:22 - 7:42.

I don't like the new time at all, but not much I can do about it.
The price went down $14.00. I really don't want credit for a future flight. Wonder if they would let me put it towards the baggage fee?
