The MAGIC is Back!!! - 6th Sept 2014 WBTA - Come & join the fun! - PART 2

[Dgentrysim]

OK....here is the latest on the mixology tasting. I just called Alma with DCL. Originally she had given me dates/times for the tastings as: Sept. 7 @ 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm. Then she had given me Sept. 11 (which is Tenerife port) at 2:00 pm. I explained to her about Sept. 11 being a port day. She has still not heard back from DCL to confirm those dates/times. She is going to request 2 different schedules and see if they approve either both or one of them. The first schedule would be to see if they will let us have all three classes in one day (there are about 82 people signed up and they really only want about 30 in each event). The hours she is requesting for Sept. 7 would now be: 1:00 - 2:00 pm, 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm, and 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm. The second schedule would be: Sept. 7 @ 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm; Sept. 11 @ 4:00 pm (I know this is port day, but we have to back on board the ship at 4:45 pm so if you are still interested in the class, would just have to come back a little sooner). I know these aren't the most ideal times, but this is all she could come up with to accommodate 3 classes. As soon as I hear anything, I will post it. Please don't send me pm's requesting dates/times. OK....here is the latest on the mixology tasting. I just called Alma with DCL.

PLEASE do not send me pm's stating which date/time you would like to have. Groups already made up ready to give to Alma. She said she would call as soon as she hears from DCL. Please bear with me and sorry it's taking so long.....even Alma said this was highly unusual for DCL not to give at least 2 wks advanced approval on events requested.

Thanks for your patience!!!!

I would call her. I had sent her a fax while she was on vacation and didn't hear from her, so I called her first thing this morning and got up with her. Good luck!!!

I just checked her emails and she doesn't include her phone numbers. I'm sure she is busy and working hard, I am just concerned because people are leaving and I am afraid if/when she gives me the times people will have already left and won't find out, will be charged anyway, and not know about the times and dates.

Alma Dabu's number is (407) 566-3683.

Thanks Nicole!

 

[WDW Princess 71]

I emailed alma and followed up with a call just now. She said she thinks the dining info has already been submitted and possibly Susan already requested CLA, but she is going to contact the dining dept to confirm with me for sure. I will post when I hear back.

 

[WDW Princess 71]

I just received confirmation from Alma that the group will have the CLA rotation. Yay!

 

[Buckeye Gal]

Poor Alma!

I called her today too. She is still waiting on a response from the Magic. She has requested September 9th at 2pm and 4pm. If/when I get everyone's time and date I will post on here. In case you are in transit and not online and you get on the ship and haven't heard and want to check with me, I am in Room 8076 (Hudson). Thanks.

I know! I feel for Alma too! She seemed totally bewildered by all this....not getting confirmation from DCL. Bless her heart!

Thanks for taking over the Chocolate tasting! Can't wait!!!

Did anyone else get a call from Disney today that their Mijas tour in Malaga was cancelled? My cabinmate did earlier and i wondered if anyone else had.

 

[Dgentrysim]

It bothers me that so many people are leaving early on their way to Barcelona via Paris, Rome, etc. and have no idea what group they are on for the Mixology Tasting. I wish I could give you an exact confirmation, but I'm still waiting to hear from Alma from DCL. I think that I will post the groups and who are in them later on tonight when I get home. At least you will know your group. As soon as I get confirmation from Alma, I will post immediately. As above, Alma put in two requests for 3 groups - one request for 3 tastings in one day, and another request for 2 tastings on one day and one tasting on another day (port day). Basically I used the "first sign up, first assigned to a group" method. If you will not be able to attend your time slot/group, please let me know so I can let someone else in your place or take you off the list before I hand in the list to Alma. I apologize if this doesn't work with your schedule at this late notice, but have to work with what I've got. I would at least like to give everyone a chance to see what group they are in and whether or not they can fit that time into their schedule.

Thank you to the ones that graciously pm'd me to say they could be put into Group #3 if need be on port day (Sept. 11). I hope at this late date, we can have a third group!

Group #1 - Sunday, Sept. 7 (at either 1:00 pm or 2:00 pm depending on what Alma can get approved)

I'm booked on this excursion and haven't heard anything although I had a missed call from Texas earlier. Will keep a look out for emails or calls.

I hope not!!

Does anyone know, if any Imagineers or Artists will be onboard to host a series of presentations? Like Don "Ducky" Williams, who has been on a few TA cruises in the past.

The second draft of the Navigator is up on FB (both sites). If you don't have access to FB and would like to look it over, let me know.

GatorMomInNC, I just sent you a PM. I need the final list of participants for the chocolate tasting to put in the Navigator.
