Palo Brunch --

I need to clean out my inbox and get the Palo Brunch details readily available to post - then can get the details out on how to sign up. Hold tight My inbox is almost full from the EBTA events I am organizing, so let me do some cleanup later today while the kids take a nap hopefully

Phew!!! This is a tough job catching up with posts on here and on fb


I'm hoping someone will be able to do the weekly updates like Lynne used to do when it got so busy

 

[Grandma x3]

Okay - I took Mandy's advice and booked today to get the great rates. We are Chris (Grandma x3) and Paul Hedemark - #6632.
This is too much of a fun group to miss the cruise !
Is there a facebook page yet?

If the weekly updates mean compiling any changes from what was posted on this meet group-- I could volunteer to do that. If it means something else- let me know.

Also a tip I learned this week- which everyone else probably already knows about-

If you boookmark this group in your favorites on the last page you read, it will take you back to that page the next time.

Then just bookmark where you ended again and delete the first one you bookmarked.

It makes it so much easier to keep track of since we are a chatty bunch.

The weekly update was basically one post which had a summary of everything important that had been posted on this thread during the week.

For example: Details of the new people joining, anyone who had left the cruise, Happy birthday/anniversary etc to anyone celebrating that week, any new events that had been planned, etc basically everything that people would want to know but not got a spare 10 hours to catch up on a weeks worth of chatting.

Thanks Claire,

To all my champagne girlies - my besties on here know that I'm in Budapest this weekend and will get on the case and get things going ASAP as soon as I get back to the UK on Monday.

Thanks some of you for you PMs, you'll be on my list on Monday

I've added the info about how to join on the first page so those that want to join can PM you the information you need. xx

Hello everyone

We just moved our dummy date over to this cruise and are so excited to see some "old" friends already on board from the 2010 WBTA and the Oct 12 Hawaii cruises already looking forward to making some new friends too!

Claire please would you add me, Sarah and my Mum Elizabeth cabin number 6618 to the roll call?



Thanks Sarah

Welcome aboard, i've added you.

Yep. Turn in priority of dates. We had the one tasting we signed up for clash with the Princess Tea we were assigned. It took about 5 trips to guest services to move our tasting to the other group.

That's why I was thinking if all events are listed that are hard-ticket events when submitting to DIS, and they know many people are wanting to participate in multiple events, they might be more open to scheduling them on different days. And then wait until those are confirmed before picking the day for the Pub Crawl since it's more of a "just show up" and no rsvp with DCL necessary. It would have that flexibility.

Yes we definitely need to keep our options open for the events that aren't restricted by DCL.

I can do that. We have a full summer right before the cruise so as things get even busier before we sail I will be available more than now as well.

Ok people we are now starting the official sign up for the Fish Extender Group. Hazel and myself will be coordinating the group(s). If you are interested in signing up for the FE exchange please can you send an email to wbtafejoin@aol.co.uk rather than sending a pm as we both have different DisBoard accounts and want to have all the information in one place. This will then be updated frequently on the main page of this thread.

In the email send your stateroom number (if known) Disboard name, first name of each person in the stateroom, relationship to you (DH, DW, DP, DD, DS, DM, etc.) including ages and gender of children. Also the country you are from. Please can you also add into the email whether you will be wanting to be included in one group or multiple groups.
Example:-
Stateroom #-
DisBoard Name -
First Name -
Age -
First Name -
Age -
Etc etc.....


For the new cruisers or those that haven't participated in Fish Extender groups before , here is a link with some great explanations as to what it's all about. They can explain better than me!!!

"Oh and one more thing, those locked coordinates? We're in!!!"



WE'RE IN!!

Joe and I just booked this cruise and we thought we were earlybirds....then I see the 25 pages on this thread already. Wow guys, I am impressed!!!

So happy to be cruising again with so many familiar screennames from other TA voyages (Pinky, Krisann, Sarah & Tony, Woody, PFlamingo and so many more!) - and some new friends from the PC cruise (Annika, I'm talking to you!)

Yay Yay Yay!!

Please add us to the rollcall, Liz and Joe - I don't know our cabin yet.

Yay ... hi Liz and Joe

DW decided to leave me at home alone on a Saturday so what do I do? Start researching the possibility of doing this cruise. So, I look at our options for timings and apx. flight costs. Sure can be done, just going to have to convince DW (which shouldn't take much). The only catch will be when the Double Dumbo Dare is held in 2014. Should be the week before we would board for this cruise. That would just mean we fly to LA the weekend before, run the race, spend a couple days at DL, then fly to Barcelona. We'll hold off on booking until we can do a OBB in May.

For those we have travelled with in the past, hope to see you again.
Jon

Hi Jon and Candida ... hope you can make it

Gosh that did make me chuckle .... Throne in Scotland has a whole other meaning

I think I know what it means ... hope Mandy doesn't bring her throne to Champagne girls !!

Hi Chris and Paul

 

[Pinky166]

I can do that. We have a full summer right before the cruise so as things get even busier before we sail I will be available more than now as well.

Thanks that will be a great help for everyone!



Annemarie & Hazel - I will add your FE info to the first page. Thanks.

 

[thedonduck]

For each event can we get a brief description from the organizer about what it entails? I think this will help the newbies to the group (and a few of the elders!!!) to understand what it each event is. Obviously the drink samplings are pretty self-explanatory ( to most), but things like the state-room tour, champagne girls, dinner assignments, etc. it may be helpful to explain what they are! Just a thought!

 

[Con5421]

I see a hope names from 2010, we hope to be om board this time. Hope my boss gives me vaction this time.

[thedonduck]

Claire posted on FB (for those of you who aren't on there) that we are looking for a name for our cruise. Suggestions will be taken until Feb 22 and then there will be a vote. I just wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to voice their opinions and suggestions.

So if you have ideas let us know and we can add them into the running.

Hi! You are a chatty group! 25 pages already!?!

We are Tim (54 at time of travel) and Gail (43). We have dreamed of doing a TA for years and are finally able to go since the kids will be old enough to manage with the help of Grandma & Grandpa.

We are so excited! This will be a 20th anniversary trip for us (delayed a few months).

We will be in cabin 2009. DH refers to it as "scow class" but who cares, I'm on the ship!

Can't wait to hear all the exciting things this group will be planning.

Gail

Hi Im Ellen
Me and my boyfriend are in cabin 2509.
Yourse and ours will be together witch there back.
