Good Day everyone

Stephen- sorry to hear that MRI was so painful.
Erik & Jason- Is it too late to donate?

This is what I just got from DCL via email. Hopefully it's correct and it matches the last post also.
*Nights 2 & 7: "formal night"
*Night 8: "theme night"
*Night 11: pirate night with deck party
*Night 13: "semi-formal night"

You guys are toying with my emotions

They are regular pretzel rods, but the top 2/3 of the stick is covered in chocolate and other toppings like caramel, nuts, chocolate chips, white chocolate. They're wonderful!

Oh my goodness, they sound delicious! I've put on weight just thinking about them!

I'd just like to send out a public thanks to the folks who have read in my signature that Jason and I are doing our local AIDS Walk tomorrow and have PMed me to find out how to donate to our cause. It really means a lot to have so many supportive and giving friends, some that we haven't even officially met yet, here on the DIS! I have already raised over $2600 or tomorrow's event and, right now, I'm the top fundraising walker which makes me very proud!

well done to you both!

No, don't sweat the petty stuff. And don't pet the sweaty stuff!

I'll try not to!

Michael - so sorry to hear about the MRI. Hang in there and I am sure you will know something by Monday.

Kimberly, would it be possible to post the Mickey Mouse Club T-shirts again. I don't know who did that last time or if we can go back to an old post. Abby has no idea what this is and would love to show her. I might be interested, if she jumps on board

Erik - LOVE the pretzels but didn't know anyone loved them but me! I am glad I know someone else. I think the Rice Krispy bars are too sweet. I do eat it though but try to stay away. I wish they served the pretzels before a show.

It is so funny how many different formal and informal, pirate info we are getting. I really find it odd that Disney would do a formal night when we are in port. I still say, they are not thinking about our cruise as much as we are. I believe the "little birdie" to be correct.

I was told on our Double Dip to not put the staterooms together because you might not get a DCL upgrade. We did put them together - no upgrade. This cruise I am going with my MIL Goofy Granny, but told my Travel Agent to NOT put us hooked up. Disney will look at that and say I am with her, why would I want to be on Deck 6 or 7 if she is 2 or vice versa. Since the Double Dip, I have not had my ressies linked even though we have been with friends. I heard this from a "little birdie" also.

I have to vent my frustration with this oil leak. I am not talking politically because I believe that should not be talked about among friends - that is why we are friends, but if I see one more dead turtle or black pelican on the beach, I am going to scream. I LOVE the beach and I can sit there all day so I am just venting frustration - Thank You!!!

We will want to wait to link dining once everyone has their Palo ressies made. I can't remember the reason exactly why but that is what we've had to do for past DVC Member cruises.

Right...I knew that much but I assumed that once everyone had done their Palo and excursion ressies that you'd be fine.....and the last group gets to do it at 75 days right? or is tehre a group that has to wait until even closer?

Really? That's odd they told you about that for linking dining. We've linked dining with friends on every cruise we've been on since 1997 and it's never ever impacted the room locations for GTY guests or anything to my knowledge---although I can't really say whether it's impacted complimentary upgrades....I don't suppose you or anyone you linked to would know you didn't get one of those if you don't get one, huh? Like when you check in they probably don't say, "Welcome! We were GOING to upgrade you to a nicer cabin but then we saw that you were linked to eat dinner with cabin so-and-so so we decided not to!"

So did they say when exactly to do dining linking if you want to do so?

She said to no later than 1 week prior. But I would not push it out that far, maybe a month prior is my furthest comfort zone? Especially since in our situation we are doing the B2B. I don't have a cabin number yet for the 10-day (since we upgraded for a refund) and I would love to get an upgrade from my Deck 2 Cat 10 for the 14-day.

We did Southwest on the day it opened up for $125 each. Cheapest now is the 8 AM for $208. Priceline has Air Tran one way for $149 if that helps.

Just my thoughts...

Thanks - I looked at SW as well when they came out, but has not been any less than others. I need a late flight back on Sunday night, so that is what is causing me problems. Delta had a great sale months back and I could kick myself for not booking (it was like $120). So it looks like I will be doing an AirTran flight that night ($170 plus luggage fees and seat assignment fees), but just watching and waiting till closer (maybe end of July) as the last thing I want to do is use a "discount" airline and have them go bellyup like has happened to some on here already.

I didn't see the delta flights but got for the additional $10 each the guaranteed seats so we don't have to panic about checking in on SW. DH has had some issues with Delta and flights so we try not to book it if at all possible.

Just my thoughts....

At the risk of being asked to walk the plank...I am not happy with the change in themes at dinner. No offense to you pirate lovers out there, but now they have moved pirate night to my birthday.

I was hoping for a semi or formal night.

I guess on a good note I will at least have fireworks.

Just my thoughts

I would hope for that too

Well i had my MRI today. Did not get the results yet. That had to be the most pain this I have did in a while. Had to lay on my back with my arm above my head for the 40 minute i was in the machine. They had my arm in a harness that i could not move it. By the end of the MRI I was in a tons of pain i was in tears. They had to help me out of the room. After that i had to sit in the room for 20 min until the pain went down. I hope i never have to that again. I hope the result show i don't need surgery. I let you guys know as so as i do.

Stephen

yikes, sorry, hopes its good news.

....and a big thank you to everyone for all the good wishes for Becky. Just waiting to hear how you got on with her first day at work now.

hope all is well

Jason and I would def. be comfortable with that----especially if you gals are still considering linking up with us for the B2B for meals.

Good Day everyone

*Nights 2 & 7: "formal night"
*Night 8: "theme night"
*Night 11: pirate night with deck party
*Night 13: "semi-formal night"

Yours matches mine but not Sues - Sue are you on a different boat to us lol???

 

[gismo1554]

Day 3 Formal Night
Day 7 Theme Night
Day 8 Formal Night
Day 9 Pirate Night
Day 13 Semi-Formal Night

Seems like the Day 3 and 9 are the big questions if they are correct. Day 7 & 8 were just flip flopped from what I had noted which is not that big of a deal to me. But I do have to agree that Day 3 vs. Day 2 for Formal is just strange. For any of you on the B2B they did confirm I have the 10 day correct so will go post on the thread if anyone is interested in seeing it.

Ok I should probably get some work done today.

I assumed it was day 2 due to this being a sea day. Formal night when were in port is also a bit strange for a longer cruise! I'm very confused lol!

Remind me which dates were the little birdies ones?

Sorry about the oil leak! Dan's car has a faulty clutch at the mo and it seems like its leaking fluid but cant find from where!

Jason (& Eric) - we're doing the B2B with AbD. I've been looking for postings from Dissers who have completed their AbD Med cruise, but haven't seen any yet. We're traveling with another couple on the Med cruise, and my sister and her DH will join us for this cruise. We'll be traveling on Sep 6th with one night in Barcelona (we did the WBTA in 2007 so we've toured Barcelona previously).

 

[renegade7]

Jason and I would def. be comfortable with that----especially if you gals are still considering linking up with us for the B2B for meals.

Yes, for sure. I will reply all to your PM this weekend confirming we are in as well as this little tidbit of info we got from my TA.

Very cool. There are a few of us doing the last Med with AbD as well as this cruise. so that will be fun for all of us, I'm sure!

Yes, for sure. I will reply all to your PM this weekend confirming we are in as well as this little tidbit of info we got from my TA.

OK great...I'm still waiting to hear back from Cinderbear, too....but sounds liek we've got a good plan working!

 

[granmaz]

Those of us doing reservations tonight/tomorrow morning - are we all ready??

I just wish I didn't have to get up before 5am!!!

SayHello just returned - they are going to do a trip report when feeling a little better. Here is the link to the thread. Not sure when they will be posting it or even in that thread. I assume at least they will put a link if not in this thread.

 

[got2travel]

Regarding linking before booking excursions. If you are linked then only 1 of the linked reservations can be accessed at a time. So at midnight, if I'm the first one to sign into my reservation, then no one else I'm linked with can log in to book their Palo, excursions, etc until I'm done. Good for me, bad for you. LOL.

As for upgrades, when you are linked, they will not upgrade you any higher than the highest category that is currently booked in your linked party. So if you have a bunch of 10's and 11's linked, no one is going to get an oceanview or balcony. Now take this with a grain of salt, as we've seen, DCL policy changes based on who you talk to.

Here is the post with the shirts from the old thread

You can order from disneystore.com or zazzle.com (which is apprently who Disney uses)

Here is what they looked like ...this is what my sons Destin looked like
