one more question. Did you actually get your docs or did you find out on the Disney website?

Bill

Thanks Bill!
Hope you get yours soon.

I checked online last night.
Not like I've been checking twice a day or anything...

We got our cabin assignment on Tuesday, we booked a Category 6 verandah and got bumped up a deck basically, but also found out our verandah is solid metal rather than the see thru plexiglass. I'm kinda bummed because I was hoping our little one would be able to play out on the verandah and see thru to the ocean, but what are you gonna do, right?? I'm sure he won't care either way. And before everyone tells me that I should have booked a specific room number.. I would have but it was only guarantees left when I booked.

We'll be happy regardless.. we're on a cruise and we're celebrating our son's 1st birthday, what could be better?

Soooooo excited ... 10 more days (since it's past midnight here! ) until we leave for our 13 day WDW/Disney Cruise vacation!!! We finally told all the girls about the WDW portion of the trip (we were keeping that part a secret as long as we could)!!! DD16 has come to the realization that "we are spoiled" ... her exact words after I told them we were also doing five nights in WDW along with the 7 night Eastern Caribbean Cruise!!! Hey, at least she knows it and is not afraid to admit it!!! AND I can now add it to my countdown!!! We have also decided to book the five night cruise for 9/1/08 and do Atlantis on the Nassau day!!! YEAH, YEAH YEAH!!!

LOVE YOU HONEY FOR INDULGING MY DISNEY OBSESSION ... YEAR AFTER YEAR ... AND YES AFTER YEAR!!!!!

Our cruise documents came today via UPS! Yay!

 

[Epperbiker]

We also got our Docs today via UPS, but since we did the online check-in, there's really not much other than the luggage tags.

Only 2 more weeks!!!!

(Gosh I hope the Hurricanes take a break for a while.)

Hi fellow cruisers!

I am on the 9/15 Eastern, and wonder if I could ask a favor from one of you. We are trying to plan a time for Palo, so I need to get DD9 to commit to going to the lab, but she is picky about what activities she will participate in.

Would it be possible for one of you to bring home a set of Navigators, and either fax them to me when you get back, or scan them in and email them to me? If so, can you PM me?

Plus I know my fellow 9/15 cruisers would love to see them ahead of time too. The most recent ones I can find online are from February of 2007.

Thanks!

I'm so EXCITED!!! LESS THAN 2 WEEKS!!

I can't get any work done today.... guess I'm already on vacation mode!

No docs yet where do i go to check online?

We are traveling under 2 reservations and we have received the docs for one reservation, but not the other. We contacted reservations yesterday, and they told us the other stateroom number, and that the second set of docs should arrive today. (Got the first set on Saturday).

I am also having trouble getting anything done at work - how can they expect us to accomplish anything with this wonderful trip coming closer and closer??? Plus, I have to check the tropical weather sites every 10 minutes...

Go on the DCL website. Click on my reservations and enter your reservation number. You should be able to see your room assignment.

My TA called me today and told me that my docs finally arrived. I am glad they're here but told him I wasn't going to start panicking until the weekend (if they didn't show up.) He told me that he's been calling Disney for over a week and they kept telling him, "They're coming, they're coming." and he was getting panicky as 11 days prior is not his experience with DCL (and he has lots!) One rep he spoke to over the weekend told him that things are moving slower for this sail date but be patient as everything would get to guests in time. He and I could only deduce that it meant a heightened security issue and they're being extra-thorough. A good thing, I'm thinking.

 

[kjguy43]

We got our docs today. I am beggining to wonder about Felix, a good chance something will develop there. Lets hope not. Also got a call from Pablo, DCL rep. They have canceled our parasailing on CC, no explaning either.

Felix?
Have you heard something about Felix? I can't find any info about it yet...

I have a feeling that parasailing operations are being carefully examined

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- The Broward Sheriff's Office is investigating a parasailing accident in Pompano Beach that killed one teenager girl and injured her sister.

Hospital officials say 17-year-old Crystal White has been discharged in good condition. Her sister, 15-year-old Amber White, died last night.

The two were vacationing in the area over the weekend from Ocala. The Broward Sheriff's Office says gusty winds forced the parachute's tow line to snap, sending the girls to the roof of a two-story villa and through several trees.

The National Weather Service issued a warning of thunderstorms and high winds in the area before the girls went on their parasailing adventure.

BSO says reckless boating, equipment failure and bad weather contributed to the accident.

My mother got a call last night too. She asked why it was cancelled, they told her the boats were broken and needed to be repaired.

Got a call from my TA today...our paperwork should arrive today or tomorrow!!!

Anyone else staying at the Residence Inn the night before we sail?

Any meets scheduled?
& I saw a post at some point about a DIS tag---whats the scoup on that...how do you play?

 

[wiggles]

We'll being staying at the country inn & suites. We won't get there until after midnight. Is everyone getting packed? I don't have much in the suitcase yet but have a mental note of everything that is going in. Does that count? 9 more days until we sail

 

[jxburns]

That defininately counts in my book. My dd is packed (minus shoes & hair accessories) & I have started piles for dh & I. I am starting to feel less panicky about this trip now that I am starting to organize the luggage & its contents.
