Got a hold Of Lg3. Thought it was and I. Not sure why the name didn't post for 5013 but there is are bodies of 2 adults and 2 children. Crushonjesicca is a total of 3 cabins and includeds "GTY - 2Adults 1 child aged 1, Gty - 2 Adults, and GTY - 2 Adults.

That's lg3 (not I), so that may be why you can't PM. See post above.

I can tell you iankh is 2 people.

Cabin 5013 has no name (2A 2C) ???

Can you also determine how many CABINS it is for crushonjessica and how many people are in each cabin that are participating in the exchange? (Some of us are doing 'cabin' gifts, so we need to know this.)

Thanks!

We got a rather pleasant surprise in the mail yesterday that helped to reinforce that the cruise is rapidly approaching.

Our Magical Express documents arrived in the mail yesterday for our stay before the cruise. I hadn't been expecting them to get here for another couple of weeks.

Well at least this time you will get to your accommodation without a detour through downtown Orlando!!!!

We are using DME for the first time for our arrival. We don't get sent documents over here now though. We are going to take our luggage with us on the bus so we have it when we get there.

There will be two cabins traveling together. In one cabin there will be my FIL and MIL. This will be their first experience with FE.

In the second cabin will be Myself, Wife, and my 1yo dauhter ( The Mad Rose herself).

We don't have cabin number's yet because of our GTY status so as soon as I get them I will let the board know.


Also did you know on the main board for cruise meets, only our first thread is listed. Any new members would have to go through all of the post to realize there are more waiting for them. Who do we contact to add our other two threads?

I contacted a moderator about that and was told that the system is to post only the first thread there. All threads have a link on one of the last pages to the new thread so when people see that the thread is locked, they will go to the last page, get the link and move on.

I asked for special treatment explaining that our First thread was started by people no longer involved in our cruise and includes a link to what is supposedly a discussion forum for the cruise but which contains links to sites of questionable moral value.

I was told that people do not have to go to that site. I said that one does not know what it is until registering and I fear it might deter people from our DIS group but I got no change in position in the reply.

If anyone knows a Mod who will make the change--go for it!!and THANKS!!

I opted for ME, because the rental car is going to be so much cheaper. I'm saving $97 over my original Alamo rental with a pickup at MCO and drop-off at the Car Care Center.

I switched to Dollar, with a pick-up at the Regal Sun in DTD. I figured that $97 can buy a lot of Dole Whips and Mickey bars, 32 of them to be exact.

Plus I don't have to hassle with the luggage and driving to VWL.

I still really like having a car, just for the added flexibility and because I do so much resort hopping because of Mouse Manager and stuff I need to get done.

We arrive on the Monday and have decided to do without a car for a few days, picking up a Budget car for a 1 day rental on Friday to leave at the depot in Cape Canaveral on Saturday. It saves quite a bit of money though I like the flexibility a car brings and will no doubt miss that. At least at SSR we can walk to DTD!! We can do a bit of a shop after picking up the car.

We will pick up a car from Budget after the cruise for the remainder of our vacation as mostly we will be off site and doing other things.

You might want to check out Dollar. I shopped around extensively and at least for the weekly rental, they came out MUCH cheaper than anyone else, though I did use a rate discount code. PM me if you want and I can give you more details.

 

[granmaz]

I will go and have a look. Only problem is they don't think they have a Cape Canaveral depot. I believe you can use another firm's depot, I think Budget's, but they charge you a one way drop off fee, which Budget don't. It is all a bit confusing to organise. We usually use one of the big 'broker' firms over here(Usrentacar, Uscarhire etc) and get great rates, but for a one day we have to go direct with Budget etc.

 

[JLSE50]

I sent you a PM regarding FE. I thought it was an "I" and couldn't send you a PM. I have not heard from Poohbear543, Tinkrules, or KimlovesDisney so I assume they will not participate. If you haven't gotten the list please send a PM. A few email addresses came back as undeliverable. There are 31 rooms for those doing room gifts. This is a list of confirmed participation. Let me know if there is a mistake.

Sounds like this thread. (Just kidding)

Note: nskjerven and mishoe01 are in the same cabin (2 adults)

crushonjessica told me they only have two cabins participating in FE (2A and 2A/1C), I've pm'd him to please verify.

Well, we are late-comers and it made me WONDER about those who started the thread. The Mod who replied and refused to change the link said that it sounded like someone had hijacked that cruise-only discussion forum.

Adjusted page 1 post 1 to reflect this info. crushonjessica posted two cabins on here already.

It makes no sense that the Mod would leave a link to a questionable site. Do you think the Mod likes that kind of stuff?

Our Magical Express documents arrived in the mail yesterday for our stay before the cruise. I hadn't been expecting them to get here for another couple of weeks.

Getting mail from Disney is always such a high light - and I am feeling the rush now - I had a little "break down" at lunch with Jackie yesterday - I'm getting so excited!!!!

I will go and have a look. Only problem is they don't think they have a Cape Canaveral depot. I believe you can use another firm's depot, I think Budget's, but they charge you a one way drop off fee, which Budget don't. It is all a bit confusing to organise. We usually use one of the big 'broker' firms over here(Usrentacar, Uscarhire etc) and get great rates, but for a one day we have to go direct with Budget etc.

That's why I used the rental car agency I used - because I can pick up at the terminal... and I can drop off at WDW...

Sounds like this thread. (Just kidding)

Always look forward to your humor - you make me smile.

For you DVC folks on this thread, you'll know how often discussion can turn to laundry and packable detergent. A big shame that they stopped making laundry tablets.

Well, when I was at the supermarket this weekend I saw something that was new and exciting.

Laundry sheets from Purex. Called Purex Complete, it's detergent and fabric softener in a sheet. So at last, easily packable detergent again.

I filled out a thing to get a $1 off coupon.

Ian, why did they stop making the tablets? Did they just not sell enough or was something wrong with them?

I'm not sure why they stopped making them here in the US, I guess they just never caught on. Certainly less messy than powder or liquid and they were easily packed in a suitcase, which, as a DVC member, was great. It was easy to put some in a bag and take them down there.

Do they still have the tablets in Canada?
