[woj68]

Ok....so I think I now have everything booked that we are doing. Here's the list:
1. Romance at Sea Package including concierge turn down service, champagne breakfast in bed, grntd ressies at Palo and a couples well being massage
2. Elemis foot Therapy and Pedicure
3. Rasul
4. Palo High Tea
5. Palo Brunch
6. StingRay City in Grand Cayman
7. Grand Cayman Island Tour
8. Tropical Jeep Safari in Cozumel
9. Banana Boats in Castaway Cay

Hmmmm.......anything else I should add???? Anyone else going to be joingig in any of these activities? I've done almost all of 'em before, and love all of them!

We booked Rasul and StingRay City as well. Palo filled up too quick though. We'll have to wait until onboard to try again. Really looking forward to the CC couples massage.

Been driving the DW nuts with all the good ideas/advice on this board. Can't wait till 9/10!

we did not request a dinner rotation, but we do have second seating, didn't know we could request a rotation. do you know - is my rotation something i won't find out until boarding?

It sounds like you can put in a request for just about anything that DCL does automatically for you. And it also seem that a lot of the requests are honored. This is our first cruise on Disney and I must say I am impressed even though I have yet to set foot on board.
For formal night I was going the dark suit route. I'm not sure my DW has decided yet. In her opinion the trip is still petty far away.

It's good to see there are other "first timers" going on this cruise as well. Do you have any kids?

 

[Bobbybear68]

No Kids. Just Kids at heart. Also my DW counts the neighborhoods Kids as ours but they are not going.

 

[woj68]

No Kids. Just Kids at heart.

Aren't we all?

 

[mom+3girls]

I didn't know you could request a certain rotation either,
47 more days, can you all believe it,
Does anyone have any suggestions for a Dis meet?
The girls and I will be wearing green shirts the day we board. I am thinking of Tie dying something. Anyone else?

 

[fltink]

You can REQUEST a rotation but it isn't GRNTD. I went with APLAPLA because then we are in Lumiere's for formal and semi-fomal night and Parrot Cay for Pirate Night

 

[fltink]

I am getting so excited! Things that I ordered on ebay for the trip are starting to arrive! I got our baby niece a very cool pirate costume! And I think I've got all the items I need for mine. I also got a few cheesy "Just Married" items to have and some to decorate our door with. Anyone else doing door decorations? I'd tell you my cabin number so you can come by and sign ours, but we still don't know it yet! ) We're at, what, 46 days to go now? Someone make it just BE here!!!!!!! )

 

[stina]

fltink: i can practically hear you bouncing off the walls! you have so much to look forward to... a wedding and a fabulous cruise. how DO you stay focused?!

as i mentioned, we booked a guaranteed cat 12 room and haven't gotten a cabin assignment yet either. as a former cast member and as a bride to be i can imagine some magic may be happening with your room assignment.

stina

 

[fltink]

Well, I'm hoping so but if not, no big deal. Every Disney cabin is magical! ) I just want to get my butt on that ship and sail away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAN WE ALL SAY 45 DAYS TO GO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

[tink9285]

I am with you.. I can't wait... We are in a gty cat 9 and we still haven't gotten our rooms yet either. Every day i check. I was wondering we have three other families going with us. It will be real nice my mother in law father in law my mom and dad and my daughter and her husband and their son. It is just going to be a great trip. I made all the plans and was wondering will disney assign all our rooms together? It really doesn't matter to us if our rooms are all together or not. Do you think this could be delaying our room assigment? Should i call disney and let them no that i have no problem with our rooms being away from one another?

 

[fltink]

Tink,
If you requested them to be together, they will do their best to block you together. They will also make sure your ressies are linked so that you have the same dinner seatig and the same table. I doubt that blocking you together is what is delaying room assignment. I think almost everyone that booked in GRNTD status is still unassigned. They wait until as late as possibel to assign rooms and complete upgrades and any rearrangemnets based on last minute booking, cancelations or requests. Hang in there. I will forwarn you..... you MAY not get a cabin umber until you check in at Canaveral. It happens sometimes so don't be nervous! The way I see it....the longer they wait, the better your chances of an upgade!

that song "I'm So Excited" keeps playing in my head.
Anyone else hearing it?

I'm about to loose control and I think I like it!!!

 

[fltink]

Morning, everyone!
Is anyone else watching their DCL DVD religiously to appease some of the pre-cruise excitement?

 

[daisy112878]

I can't believe there's only 44 more days. Actually we leave in 43 days b/c we're flying out friday morning before the cruise. Yeah!!!!!

I'm going today to look for a dress for formal night. I have to find something.

 

[fltink]

I had a lot of luck at Dress Barn actually. Got two really cute 50's style cocktail dresses. Very cute!

We actually leave in 42 days to head to Orlando and get our marriage license! Yay! Plus, we have a little bonus Disney honeymoon planned for when we return from the cruise. We'll probably use the time to look for jobs though. Our move back to Orlando will be happeing pretty soon! )

hey Daisy,
you sound like my daughter, she says its 43 days b/c we are leaving home on Friday as well, I am driving down.

 

[daisy112878]

My dh says he ready for it to be here so he doesn't have to listen to my count down constantly and exactly what we have to do on the cruise. He's excited but not nearly as excited as I am.
