Special 9/1/08 Cruise Continued - Part 3

[Laxmom]

Who is doing the opposite and staying at WDW before the cruise? We're staying at the CRB from Aug 26th till the first. It's going to be tough staying up till 3am for EMH at the Magic Kingdom and getting to the port by 11am the next day, but it will be worth it! At least we'll get to relax on the cruise.

We will be flying in Sat. Aug. 30 and staying at VWL for a couple of days. It'll be our first DVC stay there and we are pumped! What a great way to start the cruise!!

Ulittletinker, we don't have our docs yet either so don't get too nervous yet!

When does the penalty start for canceling cruises? Isn't it within 75 days or something like that? Most people change those dates farther out than that when they book dummy dates so it probably won't effect that but for people who have legitimate reasons to move their date, those are the ones who will be effected.

 

[winotracy]

Hi there, for those of you that are planning on rebooking dummy date one board then changing it I saw this at the top of the page
NEW CANCELLATION POLICY - Effective 8/31/08

If you need to cancel your cruise and are within the penalty period for doing so, Disney Cruise Line will no longer allow you to change the date. You will be required to cancel your existing cruise and absorb whatever penalties are in effect and rebook the new date.

This only applies if you change the date AFTER the final payment date.

Tracy, I hope you can help. I have not head from my TA ,I dont even know her name but I'm getting a little nervous with all the talk of receiving docs. I don't even have an assign cabin yet could you look into this for me. I'v always had an assign cabin so the GTY is new to me.
thanks

Virginia, the cruises are handled by the cruise concierge team so you can always email dcl.reservations@dreamsulimitedtravel.com for question. I am on that team so you can also contact me and I'm happy to help. I have been watching your reservation for the room number too. I know it makes it nerve-wracking, but it should be assigned soon. I need your cabin number for three things (but one you're dealing with) - FE gifts, linked late dining and Dreams Unlimited Travel's gifts. Feel free to contact me as I'll be watching it carefully for the next week until I leave. After that, you can contact the team if you have any questions. Don't worry that something is wrong because I have called DCL numerous times and if someone was wrong with your room/reservation, we would have found out already

75 days for non-suite rooms for most sail dates (the PC cruises were 90 days). The changes within the cancellation period that I've seen were for illness, injury, death or job loss/change. I guess it's DCL's way of pushing their insurance.

We are staying before also. Arriving on 8/29 at the Yacht Club for 2 nights and then at the Radisson at the port the night before the cruise. I'm really excited to stay at the Yacht Club since we haven't stayed there before. We are only doing the parks on Saturday(8/30) and the rest of the time we will be relaxing by the pool and enjoying the resort area. Yippie!!

Tracy- thanks for the link for the documents... get mine TODAY!!

[bonzie1]

HAPPY FRIDAY TO ALL!!!

Did not get a chance to pack anything last night, so will need to take some time to leave a bit early today to get things done! I don't think I've EVER gotten everything packed at a leisurely rate in my life!

Will catch up with everyone when we get back.

Docs are set to arrive on Monday. It's too bad they weren't set up to be delivered to Florida, since the tracking showed they were in Orlando yesterday!

 

[Janis]

Georgie and Joe,

Have a great time! See you next weekend!

 

[lisare]

Have a great trip

 

[Scott H]

Took me awhile to get to this 3rd round!

Joanne-I am so sorry for your loss.

Tracy-thanks for the UPS link. I found out my docs were sent yesterday are on the way and will be delivered Monday!

Scott- My brother had a bottle of "BADA Bing!" wine-must have been from Jersey
also--(I don't know why a jersey wine would have kiwi-peaches yes-but kiwi

As for Tropical/v Formal DS T.J. thinks tropical IS formal, so that will work!

To all of those who have cmpiled info and made all the plans-THANK YOU!!!-I am so impressed and in awe.

I am looking forward to putting names w/faces and grass skirts!

interesting wine, Being good and not commenting.

 

[TheCooksLuvDisney]

Hey, we have those exact same plans!

We are staying at POFQ from 8/26 - 9/1, and too funny about the MK night! My ds turns 13 on 8/31 and he has planned the whole day...breakfast at CM, Disney Quest in the afternoon, dinner at HDDR, and then MK until 3 am

I do not think mom and the little sisters will make the late night at MK, but Dad and his older brother have happily agreed to keep him company for the night. My guys will be the bleery eyed ones when the cruise starts, but glad to know they will have company

I don't know how long my 5yo DS will last but we are taking a late nap Sunday afternoon just so we can play in the Magic Kingdom till we drop! We have Liberty Tree dinner ressies at 8:40pm, so that should fortify us for the night!

 

[Scott H]

We will be at the Disneyland hotel in Anaheim Fri and Sat Night, I am on the right coast aren't I , Sunday night will at Delta Crown Room at LAX then to MCO at 10:20. Couple other cruisers will be on that flight also.

Look for us at the port we will have all our BLING on walking like hte Night Of the Living DEAD. or in an electric or regular wheel chairs, any volunteer pushers out there?

thank you for the update. I also have a ressi for Aug 15 2009 also wanting renew vows. I like the fact that I have a TA to communicate with, can you take that ressi over as well. I do beleive it's also handled by the cruise conciere team

It's going to be tough staying up till 3am for EMH at the Magic Kingdom and getting to the port by 11am the next day, but it will be worth it! At least we'll get to relax on the cruise.

We are coming in late on the 25th, staying at BWV until cruise time, then we head back to WDW for one night at WLV. They changed our flight at least 3 times and we had more time on the tail end before, but it is still okay! As long as Frontier keeps operating through our vacation, we are good to go

No EMH for us. I can barely stay up until past midnight, but little man Merrick will not be a good, happy boy if we stay up that late....and I will not be good, happy girl if we did that, too! I am a "Get there as early as possible and sit and anticipate getting on that ship" kinda girl.

Am I the only really looking forward to sleeping on the ship? I always sleep like a baby on DCL and I am so ready for a great nights sleep!

 

[two-foxes]

Look for us at the port we will have all our BLING on walking like hte Night Of the Living DEAD. or in an electric or regular wheel chairs, any volunteer pushers out there?

You should be easy to spot...we'll keep an eye out! If you can't swing the electric chair, I guess I'll volunteer to push....it will cost you one mojito on the ship. I guess that is not volunteering....just a small reibursement for services.

 

[winotracy]

thank you for the update. I also have a ressi for Aug 15 2009 also wanting renew vows. I like the fact that I have a TA to communicate with, can you take that ressi over as well. I do beleive it's also handled by the cruise conciere team

Virginia

Sent you a PM on this.

I just wanted everyone to know as far as the linked late dining. I have submitted the request that everyone be linked for dining that requested it (through last night), but as with everything with Disney, this is just a request. It is possible that we will not find out in advance if this has happened and it's also possible that we may not be linked once onboard. Regardless, we are going to have a fabulous time!!

 

[JimmyMartin]

How Do You Get On The List?

 

[Hygiene99]

How Do You Get On The List?

Post the names of your traveling party along with cabin number and weather you have early or late dining and you will be taken care of from there!

[LindaBabe]

Good Morning, Everybody!

Made a couple of descriptive new signs for our door and here they are

 

[TheWescotts]

We will also be in WDW before the cruise. We arrive on the 28th, staying at ASM, then we leave on the 31st to visit my grandmother a bit south for the day, then up to the cruise.

I checked our docs and they are scheduled to be delivered to Pheonix, AZ on the 11th. Problem is we live in Roanoke, VA???

 

[cardidog]

Hi! Tom and I will also be "trick-or-treating" in the MK after the cruise We will be wearing our "tropical" attire---complete with cruise lanyards as our costumes We will spend 5 nights at the Dolphin after the cruise and we are also at the Radisson the night before the cruise so it looks like we'll be seeing lots of DISers! We'll be in EPCOT the day we disembark from the ship---with lunch in France and dinner in Germany---never eaten in those restaurants before---really looking forward to it! I was sad to see that Alfredos closed in Italy I'm now on the look-out for a "good" Maryland wine to bring to the open house---wish me luck!
