I was able to get Palo brunch and dinner and as I was booking tea, the system shut me down. It is saying that I have someone affiliated with my stateroom or someone linked to my reservation logged in. I will tell you what: if Dreams Unlimited somehow linked my reservations with others, I'll be a bit upset. Good for those who have gotten what they wanted. It appears that the High Tea might be gone, but we'll see when the system is back up and running. Good night everyone!

High tea was back when I checked. I booked it for day 6 but will prob give it up.

Yes far as I can tell it tastes like real thing minus calories. I will look and see what flavors I can find and make you up a variety pack so you can sample away. I have a cherry limeade in my cupboard that I love.

Wow, it comes in more tasts than the 2 I know from WDW?! Great! Thanks so much for wanting to do this! Just let me know what the cost is going to be, or do you want to be paid in alcohol?

I'm on DH's laptop with the crazy touch mouse thingy, so please forgive all the onesie posts. I didn't even know about this tea either!! I guess I've been spending too much time on the DVC boards and not enough on the Cruise boards. I'm seriously failing as a DISer (*hanging head in shame*). Absolutely will try for it, if possible!! We did a tea for Ansley's 5th birthday, and she adored it.

Sounds like it's time to start prepping for our cruise, dear. If you haven't already, get yourself a copy of the Passporter cruise version. It's all in there and more.

It was fun reading all the excitement here last night. Such a shame the system bit so many people in the butt. Congrats for those that got what they wanted and for those that didn't; good luck getting it at a later moment, fingers crossed!!

It's not DU, it's DCL. Even I got that message multiple times. I mean; come on! We're not linked to anyone and we can assume there was nobody or maybe one other cruiser online when I was fumbling around there. There were moment where I KNEW Lieske wasn't online and I'ld still get kicked out with that message.

Brunch @10:30 on Sunday, Dinner @6:00 on Monday, High Tea @3 on Thursday, Parasailing at 10:30 on Castaway Cay,

We'll see you on Thursday! And you'll have to get us the heads up on Sunday, we're going at 11.30.

Parasailing, oh wow I envy you! I can't book because it's not 'accessible'. We're going to try and have them work with me (as I find it accessible enough, compared to what I'm used to in daily life ), but until then can't book. They could refuse me and I'ld have to pay the total fee if cancelling after 3 days before sailing. So seriously fingers crossed! Enjoy it up there!

PS Fire; read up a bit on your Holland. Father already told me a bit about it, but it's funny to read so many familiar things about a place not around the corner. So many familiar place names, the overtypical dutch stuff etc. Even ran into the familyname of my mother, allthough that's a commonly used familyname here.

Now I'm sure, you'll fit right in if you'll ever come to visit our Holland.

All right, I got Palo Brunch on Sunday at 10:30 a.m., Palo Dinner on Wednesday at 6:00 p.m., and was able to get the jetskis at Castaway Cay booked for us. Still debating on whether or not to add the golfing at St. Thomas for DH...but I doubt that's going to sell out anytime soon.

Glad to read that everyone is getting what they want!! I hope everyone has a great Sunday!!

 

[goofieslonglostsis]

Congrats on getting what you wanted, Crystal. Have you jetskied before or is it the first time?

Disney's website is sooooo slow. I just now finished my ressies, but I got what I wanted (I did have to fudge my time on the brunch a little bit, though). Brunch @10:30 on Sunday, Dinner @6:00 on Monday, High Tea @3 on Thursday, Parasailing at 10:30 on Castaway Cay, and my 10 hrs at Flounders Nursery. Geez! What a pain! The website and booking procedures are very organized, but the site is really slow.

Yay! Glad to see there will be others from our lil' group on the boat. Is anyone going by themselves? DH and others from my group have zero intest in this excursion.

Sorry some of you had time out issues with the booking website. I checked this morning and I see the High Tea is gone. Hopefully it will open up for those that wanted it. I had read/heard on the board it wasn't that great and that brunch and dinner were the way to go. You will have to let us all know once we all get back from the cruise if it was good so I can try it next time. As it is, I kind of feel guilty taking the brunch and dinner and the 75 day out members have not been able to book anything, kwim?

Have any of you started making your FE? I need to get started on that and the gifts. Also, are we confirmed where are meet up is on day one? I feel like this summer is flying by and soon we will be on the month of September.

Well, I got Parasailing at 10:30am on CC, but it wont let me in to reserve Palo. Guess I should have stayed up instead of waiting until I woke up......and of course jumped out of bed with my heart racing because it was booking time!!!! I'll keep trying......

Glad you were able to get what you wanted, Crystal. The jetskis sound great! You are going to have so much fun!!

Yay, another parasailor! Are the Piccaroon Pirates going to take over the parasailing boat???

 

[Momtotwogirls]

Hopefully you will find tht it is accessible enough so that you will be able to come out with the 10:30 group. Fingers crossed for you!!

 

[Momtotwogirls]

See ya on the parasailing boat

Yay, another parasailor!!

Good morning.

After a late night (for me) of partying with the Picaroon Pirates , I slept in all the way to 6:45 (again, late for me).

Got up this morning and am loving that all of our tickers say 90 days!!!

No parasailing for me. I like the idea, but the whole fear of heights thingy gets in the way.

Gotta run, thewaits for no one, except me!

I was thinking more along lines of chocolate

Hey all,

Sorry I missed the party last night. Midnight is entirely too late for me, although I did *try* to stay up! DH woke me up at about 12:10am from the couch and said, now what is it that you need reserved??? He's so sweet!

So we got brunch on Sunday at 11am, Palo on Thursday night, and the tea for Thursday was booked, so we took the tea for Monday, although, I'm not sure I want to do it if there isn't a group of us gals! I was so excited to get a group of us together for the day 6 one.

Oh well, no complaints, I won't need to be standing in any lines on beat street hoping for ressies so I am a happy camper!!!

 

[aristocats_lover]

Updated FE list with the names I didn't have before. Please double check your room number and kids ages for time of sailing! Want to make sure we have accurate ages for the toy safety concerns (ya know, not recommended for under the age of __). Thanks everyone!

 

[Fire14]

I am online to disney cruise and it looks to me as if high tea is aval for parties of 3-4on day 6 but maybe system is just telling me that. also brunch for parties 3-4
dinner groups up to 4

Our room number has disappeared. It's 8538

Also, I have put a link to the final FE list in post #3 on the first page.

Hmm, yeah know the feeling.

Have any of you started making your FE? I need to get started on that and the gifts. Also, are we confirmed where are meet up is on day one? I feel like this summer is flying by and soon we will be on the month of September.

I simply bought our FE. Gifts are also done, so I've got a relaxed summer ahead. Don't think we've got a meet up scheduled yet?

Hopefully you will find tht it is accessible enough so that you will be able to come out with the 10:30 group. Fingers crossed for you!!

Me too! It'll probably come down to DCL wanting to face the liability-thing. I know my own abilities and know I can do it, but have to get the OK.

Laundry on sunday, yeiks. Don't even remind me of mine that still needs to be done. Fear of heights also is something that bugs me, but the thrillseeking is bigger in my case. Yesterday I realised I want to do a parachutejump one day.

I was thinking more along lines of chocolate

Done! As said in the PM, simply let me know your preferences or otherwise I'll come up with some nice combo.

Maybe it's possible to change it later on? I was wondering, if we get enough girls maybe we could have them get us into the private dining room? Or wouldn't they do that for high tea? That would give you a good startingpoint to be able to join!

Hmm, remembers me we never gave our ages for the list. Ages for our info; me 29 (turning 30 a couple of days after the cruise) and Lieske 32.

I am online to disney cruise and it looks to me as if high tea is aval for parties of 3-4on day 6 but maybe system is just telling me that. also brunch for parties 3-4

Brunch is also available for 1-2 people on sunday at 11.30.

Busy topic today by the way.

DH has been reading about atv tours on St Maartin and they sound awesome. It is not through DCL but we read on cruisecritic where other cruise lines offer similar excursions. It is $65 for a single rider and $55 each for double, kids under twelve are $33. It's 2.5 hours long.

Here is the link (add . and .com as needed):

www stmaartencruiseexcursions dotcom /ATVStMaarten .htm


Is anyone else up for this?




btw: does anyone know the name of the non DCL excursion web site I know about shoretrips dotcom but I think there is another popular one?

 

[haileyboo]

I could scream! I was having trouble getting in to make Palo reservations - I really wanted a brunch - when I finally got in there are no slots available for brunch or high tea. I was able to get a dinner res, which is great - but we really wanted a brunch!!!! Do more open up later? Any thoughts? Thanks!!!
