If we buy the REAS package (basically to be able to make reservations earlier), do you pay for it at the time of purchase, or does it go on your account when you get on the ship?

I too think that I would like to partake with the Champagne Girls - tiaras and pink boas sound just my style

Thanks

What is the REAS, and what does it have to do with booking PALO? We have only been on one Disney cruise, and are still novices when it comes to much of this stuff.

Greetings from Kodiak, Alaska. We are on Day 58 of our cruise. Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Kobe, and Tokyo were fantastic.

We have several ports in Alaska before arriving in Vancouver.

Best,
Woody

Hi Woody. I was only thinking about you today and was wondering when your cruise finished. Not long now. What an experience.

WOODY! Peg, Cheri and I were all just speculating as to your whereabouts.

I think we should arrange for a 'talk' one day on this cruise, so we can all hear of your adventures.

You know, everyone's going to come on here and just want to smack you for that!

Congratulations!

Especially when we pay upwards of $600!!!!!!

Really great that you have managed that - more spends on the cruise for you.

 

[ibouncetoo]

Marilyn, you're at the Villa now right? How's that red room?

.

 

[granmaz]

We are moving today Jackie. I believe the room has a pink wall, and I think I will love it. I'll let you know though. I'm getting the impression that we Brits like more stronger colour statements than you US folk. We have had bland white/cream walls for so long now people are adding colour. At the moment having one wall of a strong bold wallpaper is becoming very fashionable. Quite often a modern black and white print.

(what she's not telling us is that she has mirrors on the ceiling at home... )

Hey jan just a little update: we are not from Willow Springs, IL.

SORRY

Thanks for catching it.

Now the secret is out. The method I use to add a new family is to copy someone else's entry and change the info. This keeps the same format for each entry with the same colors for the same info. but I missed that part.

I added that to your entry on page 1 post 1. I can not add any more smilies as I am at the limit, but if we make it to another thread, I will post the roll call on a couple sequential posts so that there is room for smilies.

 

[JLSE50]

Google "Sophie Taylor Atlantis" and see what you get...

But if you can't be bothered, clicky here...

Thanks for the link. Lovely photo!!

 

[JLSE50]

Wow! There's been a lot of action here in the time I've been away. I haven't been around for a while because my mom passed away. It may actually change our cruise plans. We'll be on this cruise no matter what, but if my Dad can get the time off work, we may bring him with us.

Anyone who is price watching...please let me know if you see any Cat12's become available for this cruise.

Other preparations:
The kids watched the cruise DVD today and loved it.
DS2 is nearly potty trained. He'll be 3 in June and we keep telling him he has to be able to use the potty all the time to go swimming and to ese the kid's club on our cruise. He's a stubborn kid, but I think we can accomplish this. He's going to be mad if DS4 gets to go to the club and he doesn't!

Pretty soon we'll start to make/(or buy) a Fish Extender and think of gifts.

Can't wait until we can book stuff for the cruise!


How is everyone else doing with your preparations?

sorry for your loss.

 

[JLSE50]

So sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. That was one of the hardest things I ever had to go through. Hope your dad will be able to join you all on this trip.



Anyone flying Southwest Airlines? We have four flying home on SW and I thought I'd check out a group transport to MCO from the port to try and save some money. I was thinking of a van that holds 10 people maybe and that it would be easiest if the group was all going to the same terminal/airline. Let me know if you are interested...only requirement...no flights before noon. I want to be able to enjoy my final breakfast and don't want to be racing off the ship! (So folks with late seating/late final breakfast would suit best!)

The transport I have for my group of six going to the port (which is on the brink of being booked) is with Southern Elegance and will come out to $26 per person including tip. If anyone wants to check them out, its www.selimo.net I've used them before and can highly recommend them.

I added the link to page 1 post 1. New category: TRANSPORTATION in blue near the top. Thanks Jackie.

And will there be a Power Point?

Jan

 

[Tink rules]

I want old fashioned slides... you know the kind you can hold up to the sun and see??? Just bring along a few carrosels of those things and I'll be happy... don't forget the pointer too... but put that in your luggage... won't make it on your carry on..

 

[ibouncetoo]

For those of you spending some time at WDW, the new on line ADR booking system rolls out on MONDAY. It is available to travel agents right now!

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2174824


IAN....CHERI...looks like June 6 is our 90 day mark. Resort reservation number will be required for booking the 90 + 10. (right now looks like booking will be available at 6AM eastern)


Any changes to what you book on line have to be done over the phone (apparently a cancellation can be done one line, just not a 'modification').

I wonder when the September park hours come out?????

[Tink rules]

Hey Jackie... what's payoff date for this cruise....(just in case I wanted to book it... )
