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!!!

Sorry you didn't get the brunch. :( They do hold then release ressies from time to time for the 75 day folks and for people that book on the first day. Be vigiliant and keep checking and you may just get lucky. :surfweb:

For how many people are you looking? I'm assuming for multiple? Our lovely Fire14 found some slots for 3-4 people, and I ran into 11.30 openings on the Sunday for 1-2 folks.
 
i also would love the 11:30 sunday palo brunch for 2 (just me and my mom:hug:) but due to technical difficulties:headache: i am unable to make any ressies now and probably till tomorrow! have been on phone w/ dcl and AAA and now those 2 are talking to try to get it worked out but may take till tomorrow when corporate AAA opens. So MAD!

all i really was concerned about was the palo brunch for 2, palo dinner for 2, and CC stingrays for kids. Seeing a few of you being brave enough to do parasailing makes me want to try it, too. DH has a thing w/ heights so he wouldn't go w/ me and I didn't want to go alone (needing moral support :cutie:). bad: friend of ours DW went parasailing in carribbean several yrs ago and the driver slammed her into a dock. she suffered permenant disability and chronic pain for the rest of her life (passed away shortly ago). seems that on CC they dont take you anywhere near anything you could crash into so much more safe and trust disney to make sure things are in order, but the whole ordeal doesn't endear the idea to DH :laughing:

anyway, i'll take any hopeful wishes anyone wants to send to me and maybe this will all work out for the best.

ps. found out we are infact in cabins 5510 and 5509 (5518 was most likely a typo - we can't seem to catch a break)
 

Well - I don't understand, but I'm giving up for now & will just keep checking. I called DCL & asked & they told me that there are no brunch times available. I wonder if it has something to do with your category or something because my sister got the same thing.

That's ok - I'm still excited to be booking stuff - only 90 days to go!!!!!

:dance3:
 
Oh, no, Hal! I hope AAA and DCL are able to work out the issues and you are able to book what you want to book. Come parasailing with us! I am going by myself and I am sure others are as well. That is awful about your friend, but as far as I know, there is no tall things in the area that we parasail at CC.

Haileyboo- keep checking!! Things have opened and closed this morning already with people changing their minds. I would check daily and then on the 75 day midnight change over and hopefully you will be able to get it. Worst case scenario, run to the ship and get in line for the Palo reservations. You will get your brunch, don't worry!

ATV tour sounds like fun, but I have a 9 month old and a four yr old and no way will I go with them on! Maybe when they are much, much older. :)

Anyone else not planning too many excursions this time around? I want to stay on the boat!!
 
problem solved - ressies made. well all except palo brunch - i couldn't get it either :guilty: apparently a computer transfer issue. whatever...don't care as long as i got in:) i will keep trying for palo brunch hopefully sunday.

we booked stingrays on CC at 11am. DH wouldnt let me book parasailing till we confirm that my insurance (disability, life etc) would pay him in the event of my untimely death or dismemberment :rotfl: sometimes i think he worries too much but... he is the more grounded and sane one of us and i cant really argue when he says: "well the odds were against our 3 yr old getting cancer too!" he just loves us :lovestruc:hug: in the end if I wanna go I can but... and gotta consider the $ too. We nixed the jetski idea since we can rent one on the coast here for less than 1/2 dinsey's price.

i reserved trunk bay on st john and the see&sea on st maarten but we will spend more time on the boat this time too.
 
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!!:flower3:

I agree. You'd think Disney would try their darndest to make just about everything accessible. I'll keep my fingers crossed as well!
 
i went ahead and booked the parasailing at 1030 too - hope you guys don't mind me joining you. too much fun to miss out :cool2:
 
Hi everyone, had to get up at 5am UK time to make my ressies, so went straight back to bed after :).

Was lucky enough to get Brunch on Thursday, Dinner on Tuesday and High Tea on Monday (DH not sure about this one though!).
Seems like most of us have been lucky with the ressies, 90 days and counting now !! :cool1:.

Welcome aboard our ship.
We need to come up with a way to meet up at dock so we can all be on same boat, I believe each boat hold 10 persons. I have 2 in my group

Hey Ebony,

We got high tea on Monday as well. DH is not going as it is not his :lmao:"cup of tea" :rotfl2: so just my dsis and I are doing that one. Maybe we can sit together and if your dh doesn't want to go, I'm sure we could find someone to join us!

Congrats on getting your ressies in!!!!

OOOh, good idea. I know I want to go in the boat with other people I know. So, how many are we looking at so far:

Fire 14- 2 people
kpadalik-
Momtotwogirls- 1 person
Haileyboo-
hal001-

I have a water proof dig camera that is going on boat with me, not sure if I'm taking up or leaving with Jodi but I can get some nice shots of all of us.

To be honest? DCL is good about onboard accessibility and a bit of crap about it when it comes to excursions. ;) Even at CC, where you would expect more since they're the ones in charge of it all. Sure, there are some mild stuff offered, but I can lie on the beach all by myself. I want a thrill! :rolleyes1 And it also has to do with the liability-stuff. I was told no about really everything, including the parasailing. Until I explained I'm a pretty easy going person when it comes to accessibility. Hey, I live in Europe after al! :lmao: After that, it changed to "wel, talk to GS and see what can be done to accomodate you. If somebody will "babysit" your wheelchair, they might be able to accomodate you". We'll see.

DW fire 14 was up late last night getting our ressie for Palo and other things.:cool1: Then the system went down on her after Palo was booked. She will fit in with the sailors on the ship the way she was cussing. It would have made a sailor blush.:lmao:Then the system came back up and every thing was good again:goodvibesShe got what she wanted and we went to bed. In the middle of the night I heard a noise and she was on the floor. To let you know I`m a sound sleeper and it woke me up. She had rolled out of bed in her sleep:rotfl:She had been dreaming of drinking a sail away drink and fell out of bed:laughing:You just can not take her any where :lmao:
 
You guys are making me sooooo envious of your parasailing plans - - I would love, love, love to go parasailing...I will be doing it next time for sure! I bet you guys are going to have so much fun going together, and we will know exactly who to hound about making trip reports, right? :lmao:

AND, for what it's worth, if anyone wants someone to tag along with them for the high tea, I would absolutely be game! I've been trying to get DH into the "high tea" game for a while. I had booked the Afternoon Tea at the GF when we went in Septmeber, 2008 and we mysteriously had to cancel because we were having too much fun at the parks, and for DD's tea party birthday he had to stay behind at the house to prepare for everyone coming over, and then with the computer issues last night...methinks that tea and DH are just not meant to be. :rotfl:

Now that's a woman to my liking. Female sailor power! :lmao::worship:

Why not do it this time?

And yeah, we know how to hound about making trip reports. Now only to find out how we can get those TR-makers to HURRY UP with their TR's. :rolleyes1:hug:

AND, for what it's worth, if anyone wants someone to tag along with them for the high tea, I would absolutely be game!

If you'ld like; you're welcome to join us on that very known day 6. ;) Don't know how we'ld go about adding you though? Anybody have any clues? Would we have to link our ressies together and make a new ressie for 3????
 
I've been waiting in line at port for a month now just so I am first in line for all the tequila tasting.
