September 30, 2012 Dream vacation

[hamm1207]

The roll call list is up to date! I'm so glad to see more people joining the cruise!

My family is safely back in PA and VA, so now it's time to get work on the FE gifts!! I can't wait to cruise!

 

[hamm1207]

Time for me to sound like a broken record...

Free customized lanyards are being made for this cruise. Please please please ensure that I have the first names of everyone traveling in your party, as well as your room number (for delivery if needed). If you do not wish to have your names posted on disboards, simply send me a message with your names and I will keep it private (mamiof2--i have your info).

If you do not see your name on the roll call list (link is in my signature) then I will only be able to provide you with a blank name tag.

Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have regarding the lanyards, as well as cruising!

I see this sailing has many seasoned disney sailors, has anyone had any experience with gluten free onboard? We have already informed disney, so I expect that things will go smoothly in the dining room, but what about the other dining venues?

hello again everyone! I can't get on here and keep up that much because I only have acess when I come to visit my mom.

I am getting so excited planning all last minute details for this trip! I am still trying to talk my DH into decorating our door. He thinks it is a waste of time and money but I think it will be fun and I really think our DD (4 1/2) would LOVE it!

I know some of these questions are a bit stupid but I need to ask on here since I can not PM (have not posted more that 10 times to date). #1- what is the cost of the lanyards that are being made? #2- what is the meeting that I see people refering to on the first day (someone said it might interfer with the meeting time for receiving our lanyards). #3- is the roll call sheet just for people doing the FE's? If we decide to opt in to the FE's what is the price rang that most people stick to?

Since I can't PM and can't get on this message board that much can you email me all the answers???? my email address is SonyaShay84[at]gmail.com! My daughter will be so surprised when she sees this trip (we have decided to keep it a secret until we get there )

 

[SonyaShay]

a couple more questions......

has anyone ever been on the Harbor Cruise in Nassau? If so do yuo think it is worth the cost? Want to do something fun but do not have the funds to do anything really expensive.

does anyone know how full our ship is? I see that there are still quite a few rooms that are available so I am hoping that means we are at a lower capacity

Hi everyone! We are so excited to be joining you all on this cruise! I still need to catch up on the 13 pages of post but I did find the FE sheet and added our info.

Welcome! Welcome to the cruise! Tomorrow night, i will add you to the roll call list. Who all is joining you on the cruise?

We're super excited to see you cruising with us!

Thanks! It is myself (Dawn), DH (Rob) and DD4 (Emily). You probably won't be able to miss me on the ship. I'll be the big pregnant lady I'll be 23 weeks when we cruise.

I was very surprised we were still able to get Palo reservations. Every night was available.

I still haven't read all the posts. I'm just taking a break from work now so I'll try to catch up tonight as see if there is a meet up planned.

Anyone using or has used the Radisson park n ride? We are considering this to save some $$ but I think I better post on the main cruise board to see how it's worked for others.

 

[Momto3cuties]

Welcome, Dawn! We booked just a week ago and I keep forgetting that I have to book Palo-thanks for the reminder! Glad to hear that there were times available. Anyone have a recommendation on which night to book Palo? I know we won't want to do it the first night and will want to be with the kids on Pirate Night - is that the night we leave Castaway Cay???

Sorry, I am no help on the park and ride - we've got tons of one way car rentals that I am supposed to keep track of

My 3.5 year old DD caught me looking at princess dresses on the IPad - she had a lot of questions Not sure if we are going to tell the kids or surprise them. We go to Boca every year in the fall, so they won't think anything differently when we get on an airplane..of course, when we land in MCO they may notice

I also read through some of the FE gift threads - Wow! I am getting very excited to get my creative juices flowing and begin on those!

Hi Beth, My DH can get motion sickness if the ship is rocking so we always try to book Palo on Nassau night. We never get off the ship in Nassau anymore anyway so I made reservations for 6:00pm. Hopefully we will be able to enjoy watching the ship leave as we are dining and we can make it through dinner before we get out in the ocean, just in case.

Pirate Night has been on Castaway Cay day on all our other 4nt cruises.

We usually don't cruise this time of year due to the higher risk of rough seas so I'm really hopping for smooth sailing. We had to cancel our December cruise and move it up to this one.

WOOT!!!

We were able to rebook this morning thru our TA and use the newly released military discount! DCL also moved over our dining, spa, and excursion ressies!! Took a $296 hit, but still saved $216 and went from a cat 8c to a 5a.

For the spreadsheet, our new room # is 9560 ( not doing fish extenders, tho...)

Now, we're on our way to the airport for our vacation!!

 

[akheila]

Congrats! I wish we could take advantage of disney's military stuff, but we can't. Dh is in the Canadian air force serving down here in the US, but it doesn't count.

Our last cruise was on the Wonder in 2002 for our honeymoon, so its been awhile! We will be staying at WDW for 3 days prior to the cruise (at POR). Just wanted to say hi to everybody!

Wow, there was a military rate that came out? I'm pretty peeved bc my TA was supposed to let us know if/when it came out, and I don't see it listed anymore!

Have fun on your vacation!
