I wonder if everyone is back from the holiday weekend yet or not. We know that Bob and Scott were around for the holiday

Trust me on this one, it's a lot for everyone to keep updated with such a long thread. This, in part, is why we started the newsletter. Also, Peter (Hygiene99) is updating the list on page one with new information as it is posted. If you are unsure of something going on, check there first. For example, people planning some of the group tours are there. I know everything is not listed there, but the stuff that is posted on the thread is. If you have anything else to share with the group, post it and it will be included in both the newsletter and the first page listing. This helps the newbies, but it also helps the rest of us who can't remember when something was posted. Thanks Peter for keeping us up to date.

Hi everyone!!!

Hope everyone had a fun and peaceful holiday weekend.

Tracy, great job on the newsletter. Thanks!!!

Not to worry...you just need to be onboard the ship pretty early and make a mad dash to Wave Bands and see what is available. My understanding is that DCL does not put all the reservations online.

We found on past cruises that DCL holds back reservation slots for Palos as well as slots for excursions. So if you did not get an excursion you wanted, get to the excursion desk; Wave bands for Palos. Good luck getting what you want. We'll see you on the Palo's line. Alex

We're back from our honeymoon on Freedom, great ship. Glad the wedding is over. I can see my kitchen table again! I'll post a few pictures when I get some (almost 3 weeks and I really haven't seen many pictures yet...and none of Jim and I that are very good).

I'm starting to get very excited about my first Disney cruise!!! I definitely want to do a fish extender gift. I haven't decided exactly what yet but I have a few ideas. Also breaking it to Jimbo gently that he'll be donning the grass skirt.

What's the scoop on the pins? I ordered two...how do we pay for them?

I'd also like to know if there is still room on Eli's Eco Tour and on the St Kitts ATV tour.

We did the Pirate Extravaganza last time we were in St Lucia, it's a lot of fun. Lots of grog. The crew is something else.

Tracy the newsletters are really great. Thanks for taking the time to do that for all of us.

Get well wishes and positive thoughts going out to Christina and family. Fuzzy hugs for everyone!

Congratulations and welcome back! You're a newlywed, your husband will wear the grass skirt!

 

[winotracy]

I'm hoping to have more information on the pins by early next week, including how and when payments need to be made and delivery information. Dan is getting together with the manufacturer to find out the details and promised to get back to me this weekend.

First off - Congratulations on your wedding - I can't wait for the pictures.
You asked about Eli's - you need to book directly with them, I just kept track of the list of DIS'ers that were going. At one point it was sold-out but I know there has been at least one cancellation since then so please give it a try. Send me a PM if you have any questions.

The vendor that provides the ATV tour recently told me that he was replacing all his equipment and wouldn't know the status until closer to the cruise date. I sent him a message this morning, so it will be interesting to see what he says. At this point, I have scheduled another excursion for St. Kitts. If the ATV thing comes through, I will let everyone know.

Hi Everyone

I've been busy making name badges. I've got everyone on the list done! If you are a lurker and not on the cruise list, you won't get a free name badge and lanyard. So sign up soon before it's to late.

Gail, I'm gonna try to book Eli's...is there a group name I should use?

I have to pinch myself everyday- it's not a dream- I'm really going. I can't believe is only a little over 2 months away. Yup- I'm excited!!!

Welcome

Both, Jenn & I cant wait to see her again it has been a few years !!

When you email Eli's the only thing you have to do is to tell them which tour you want to take - the Eco or the CircumNav. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

All Palo brunch is booked I'm scarred for life now. If dh & I don't get to go to brunch I'm gonna be one of those people at GS saying "I want my money back, my trip is RUINED because I couldn't eat brunch at Palo's" I am really hoping we can grab someone's cancellation though. It would sure be a shame for us to miss that yummy brunch....

We already reserved Palo's for Dinner on one of the nights, what's so special about doing a brunch there? Would we be better to get Brunch there rather then Dinner?

You can do both, but if you are only going to choose one, then choose brunch. It is our favorite.

 

[JimboCh]

Just curious , was the Brunch Times ever available to book online( DisneyCruise.com site ) or is that strictly done once you board?

or did everyone book this already online prior to 75 days out when we could finally book over the internet? First timers here.
