We love dana she is just great! We got a great deal on our cruise to begin with...then the FL resident rate came out and Dana got a $937 credit and then we got a 3 cat upgrade! I am so excited! We will be booking again on the cruise and then see what Dana has to offer!

Deanna~ I think i may have abbey pack for me LOL

Well I sent the note to school today....meant to do it earlier but I just forgot! I guess we will see what happens....I asked that Matthew be able to make up all of his work and that we have it by the 19th so that he can complete before we go...I guess we will see what happens....)

 

[kcatoir]

I can't even think about packing right now. Plus if I don't make a list like Julie I won't remember whats in there anyway, and there's no time for that.

Sent email to DD's teacher today regarding abscence. Hope for the best. Need to email the office manager.

No docs here yet
Julie: I think my docs are with yours getting that much deserved upgrade

Welcome Partyelf, we would love to have you join our group for dinner if at all possible at this late date, would hate to see you dine alone

Ingrid, good luck with your hubby. My Dh is home sleeping now he rolled home between 5 and 6am today.

I know I'm starting to stress, I've been having some bizarre dreams lately.

Fourfoxes, congrats on your excused absences.

No Hurricane Dance

AAAHHHHH SOOO MUCH TO DO....Gotta Go

 

[b&j's_mom]

Kim - Don't stress about packing! As long as you have some underwear and great shoes, you will be fine! Tee hee! Seriously, I was way too stressed last time and I didn't even enjoy the first day or so because of it. You will be fine!! Well, you can rock out in the Roy Suite, I'll party hardy in the Walt Suite and we can have all of our DIS friends over for a get-together! WOO-HOO!!!!!

kwork11 - A $937 credit?!?!? I will just admit to the fact that I am green with envy! AND a 3 cat. upgrade! Wow, Dana really is amazing!

Jamie - Sounds like your trip will be even better now that it's "excused"! Yeah!

 

[partyelf]

Thanks for the warm welcome folks. You have no idea what it means to me to have a few contacts made before hand.

Power Alaska / Dennis - yes I would LOVE it if you could arrange to have me seated near you guys! I have an early seating due to the kids. As far as reading the entire thread - OMG - LOL... not a chance!

Cujobugs / Deanna - Thanks for letting me know of another SP traveling... Lori.

Smiling Mouse / Sorry about the misinterpretation - but loved your description!

So... exactly how do we all 'hook up'?!? I'd love to make arrangements to hang out with Lori one night when maybe all of our children will be in the programs.

Ckatoir/ I'm right there with you and your 'no hurricane dance'. We should all do a little ditty everyday till sailing! Couldn't hurt!

I'm new to this message board thing - and have no idea how to use all the cute little smileys. You'll all have to excuse the rookie. By the way - my name is Christine.

 

[partyelf]

Oohh, oohh, oohh, just got an e-mail from DHL saying my doc package was sent out to me today! YIPEE!!!! Did my little doc dance too! Hope the rookie got it to show up!

Christine

 

[b&j's_mom]

Christine - Saw your doc dance just fine! At dinner, alot of us have late seating, which Dennis so nicely arranged to link together through Disney. I know there are some early diners on here, but I can't remember who they are!

We are all planning to meet each other on embarkation day for lunch at Parrot Cay. Also, my family is getting to the port fairly early. I don't know when you are getting there, but if you are early, too we can meet up. Other than that, I'm not sure of how we are hooking up. Some of us are going on the same excursions together. Some of us are meeting at Paradise Beach in Cozumel. That's what I know so far!

my latest no hurricane dance goes as follows:

 

[marsha02909]

Hi Party Elf

I have early dinner, if dennis could tell me how to link the dinner reservation or do it for us I would be happy to have someone I know at early dinner. I have a DD 3.

 

[b&j's_mom]

DO, DO, DO, DO, DO...DOC DANCIN'

Uh-huh, uh-huh! It's me! Doc Dancin'!



Unfortunately, no upgrade to a cat. 1. Maybe they are just waiting to surprise me when I get check in at the port!

 

[kcatoir]

More good news, just got email response from DD'9 teacher, he's on board with the abscence and will get her work together

Julie: Don't worry I don't intend to be too stressed to enjoy the cruise . But I think its time to sit down take a deep breath and make a game plan......

 

[kcatoir]

O.K. I have my cruise motto:

My fortune cookie at lunch today said:
"Do not rush through life. Pause and enjoy it."

Marsha & PartyElf

This is information provided to me from a satsified DCL Cruiser:

You can then just call DCL at 1-800-951-3532 and ask to link their reservation numbers with yours. I don't know the size of your party but if it is bigger than 10, I would check with DCL as they are limited to the table sizes on each rotation. We ended up only being able to get tables for 8, 7, 6, and 4 so there was a lot of work involved with seating families and friends together. If you need two or more tables, call the dining coordinator Debbie Wargo at 407-566-7411. She does the seating charts and can place you at adjacent tables. She can also do a better job at putting you at your requested rotation.

I called direct to Debbie Wargo and it went incredibly EASY. SO easy, I am nervously waiting for the anticipated success. Called back "to be sure", and it all seemed in order at that time. If NOT, I am probably going to be in for a short cruise. I suspect that the LATELIES Bevy of Beauty will amke me walk the plank before we leave the dock.

Speaking of that, you guys doing the DOC Dance ~ Do you have your Table Seating Assignments identified?

Dennis

 

[cujobugs]

Congrats on the docs everyone! You look like mighty fine dancers! Watch out on the 70s Disco night on the ship! You all will be dancing up a storm! Just don't dance up a hurricane! Anyone going to the 70s or 80s parties? They sound fun to me. It looks like kids aren't invited to them. Is that true?

Julie- I like the new hurricane dance. Just explain to me what the drinking part is all about! Too funny.

Partyelf- Lori would love to hook up with ya one night. If you are able to come to the cruise meet at Parrot Cay, maybe we can make a plan then. Whatever you think. She is around 42 or so. She has two kids. Lost her husband to colon cancer about 3 years ago. She is a quiet but fun people pleaser. I feel like you must like to party since your name is partyelf! You go, girl! How old did you say your kids were?

Principals all said the trip was excused. Now I am just hoping the same from the competitive gymnastics coach. I left her a message today.

Did you all see where Port Canaveral is closed for the next cruise? And they are going to another port? Quite interesting! I wonder what happens to my money at Ron Jons if I can't spend the night there due to weather. I need to ask them that question. Anyone else know the answer?

Check in later. Deanna

 

[cujobugs]

Dennis- I don't see a place for a table seating. But I did get late seating. But it doesn't even say the rotation!

 

[b&j's_mom]

Dennis - All the documents say about dining is that we are confirmed second seating.

Deanna - I say anytime you can throw in the drinking smilie icon - go for it!

 

[cujobugs]

Okay then, here's a toast to Julie and the no hurricanes!!!!!!! Yes, Julie, that icon is fun to use, isn't it?

Deanna

 

[smilingmouse]

Hi everyone!!!

Partyelf--no worries

Dennis, I don't think we'll get table assignments until we receive our KTTW cards. I can't check personal mail at work, so I don't know if my docs are here or not...I'll post again tonight

Take care!

 

[power_alaska]

Becky ~ KTTW? Oh yeah ... Key To The World!!!! I know you told me that before!!! You're right about the table seating, it just slipped my aging single remaining brain cell!. I am optimistic that it will all go well and as planned. I don't look forward to walking the plank on the dockside if not.

Well, looks like I will go another day without documents

Hey everyone,

I am a newby!!! My name is Season, from Birmingham, Alabama!!!

I got my cruise docs today I was so excited I was dancing through the house. My son looked at me like I was completely crazy!!!

We were booked on Deck 2 but when I got my packet we are in cabin 6319!!! So everyone come visit me!!! I guess I have given them enough money over the years for an upgrade!!!

All of you seem so great I would love to meet ya while we're in paradise!!!

 

[cujobugs]

Season- Welcome to the group . My son did the doc dance with me. So he didn't think I was crazy. We had fun dancing. Too cute. I guess you have cruised before! And congrats on your upgrade! That is marvelous! No upgrades here. Bummer.

Deanna

 

[power_alaska]

Welcome Aboard Season

It appears that the closer we get to the Cruise, the more lurking newbies start to hatch! Must be a "seasonal" thing?
Quick! Somebody shoot me! Line up so everybody gets a chance!!!

That's one heck of an upgrade you got there! Congratulations!
Well, we already know that you are an Uppity (as opposed to a Lowlie). Are you an Early or a Lately? If you are at late seating, that would make you a Lowlie come ULately ... Okay ... I better quit now...

Good Night All

Dennis
