The MAGIC is Back!!! ~ WBTA 2014 ~ Come & join the fun!

[NWmom]

OMG, are you watching too? Nobody I know watches and I'm really itching to talk to somebody about recent events on the show.



You can watch all of the second season episodes on Hulu. I don't typically have time to watch on Sunday, and oh yeah, I don't have cable! So I watch online or on my kindle or on my tv with HuluPlus.

Maybe I'm a weirdo, but I really like the character Rumplestiltzskin (sp?) - he is endearing IMO and there's a lot more layer there than with other characters (like prince david lets say.)

We're watching here. Being in the US, we are quite a bit before you. The plot twists are fantastic and it is too complicated to explain. I can say season two will have you guessing, but season three it starts to make more sense (and keeps you guessing).

Yes, Rumple is deeper.

Instead of waiting on hulu, ehat about going to the abc website. I did that for a few of their shows when I missed an episode before our cable company started a catch up section On Demand

Just sharing the updated post ---

I am now adding for a standby/waitlist. If you have sent me a PM and don't see your name on the list or in a group, please let me know ASAP.

Thank you

ETA - Please PM me if I am missing you - this thread is moving crazy fast and would hate to miss a note on the thread.

Palo Group Brunch​

If you are interested please PM me your names and party size.
(Don't leave a message in this thread... for organizational purposes I need a PM please. Thanks!)

~ I will have everyone re-confirm after PIF (Paid In Full) date to make sure everyone is still onboard since this is so far out.
~ I will request full names, cabin number and reservation numbers at that time before I send in our request.
~ I will submit the request to DCL in June 2014 so we are in the queue although we know they might not look at it until closer to the cruise.
~ Once your name is submitted in June, there are no refunds or changes.
~ We can have a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 14 for each group according to how Palo is now on Magic (assuming drydock won't affect Palo private room sizing).
~ I will add guests to the groups on a "first come, first served basis" starting with group #1 - and those will be the dates we request with DCL (not guaranteed). Groups filled in order the PM is received.
~ If for some reason you cancel this cruise, please PM me immediately so I can fill your group as we must have the minimum of 12.
~ Due to the popularity of this event and number of cruisers we anticipate, we will try to fill the groups to 14 to allow a maximum number of cruisers to participate.
~ We should receive confirmation about 30 days before we sail with charges made to your onboard account.
~ When you are able to make your own personal Palo reservations, it is encouraged to do so. When your Group reservation is confirmed, DCL will delete your original "on your own" brunch reservation since we can only book one brunch prior to embarkation. Do not rely on this brunch to "make" - be proactive and still schedule your own brunch just in case! There could be other groups making the same request which is why we encourage you to schedule brunch on your own after PIF date - just to be on the safe side.


Preferred Date to send to DCL - Group # (usually right when Palo opens)
Sept 7 Palo Group Brunch #1
Sept 9 Palo Group Brunch #2
Sept 10 Palo Group Brunch #3
Sept 12 Palo Group Brunch #4
Sept 13 Palo Group Brunch #5
Sept 14 Palo Group Brunch #6
Sept 15 Palo Group Brunch #7

If for some reason DCL cannot accommodate all groups, we will be asking for them to fill the groups in order 1 thru 7... so if another group has already beat us to it, we may not get all requests.

As names are received, I will keep this post updated.

Not a weirdo, I really like Rumple too. Lots of depth to his character, I love all the stories they've intertwined with his.

Me too, I think almost everyone's story is impacted by his character.

We're watching here. Being in the US, we are quite a bit before you. The plot twists are fantastic and it is too complicated to explain. I can say season two will have you guessing, but season three it starts to make more sense (and keeps you guessing).

I'm also in the US! Love hulu plus though - less commercials & I can go to one place to watch all my shows that are on different networks.

 

[JustAnnieNotHazel]

Did someone say we needed to celebrate? With drinks? And you welcome help? With drinking?

How funny is that...our anniversary 4th Sept and we will be celebrating 38 years!

Rosa Regale All Round - cheers!


.

One mass celebration.. It will be our 27th

mmm Rosa Regale.. looking forward to a few of these.

It's our Anniversary in March, does that qualify for a celebration onboard too?

You have season 3 already???

We have to wait a couple more months for season 2!!!!!!

I cannot wait, loved season 1!

 

[TotallyAngelic]

Our anniversary isn't until November but we'll be celebrating it anyway!

Ours is in October ...the 12th ...we will have been married 12 years in Oct 2014.

I know I asked you on Facebook, but I don't remember what you said. They don't have Hulu or Hulu Plus in the UK? That is where I watch all of my Once Upon A Time episodes.

Will have to check it out and see if we can get it over here.

I have tried the ABC website but it always says we are not eligible to watch on there.

Of course

Maybe we'll need to give DCL a heads-up - They may need to stock Carnival-like quantities of adult beverages!

 

[ChristinaDK]

Hi. Can I get our room number on (5146) and my DB name here is binzerdk

 

[Con5421]

Wouldn't that be fun? I think we needed to have 100 pins or so to make it affordable. Am I correct? I will be happy to collect data again to see if you would like.

Ok, who is going to make a cool logo so we can make the pins?

Noel,

Yes we must sell 100 pins.
And we can do it again, i send you a pm.

So we're the lady's for the pins, whit some help from John.

 

[Con5421]

Since I am a total WBTA newbie - could someone please explain these pins a bit further? Are they "real" metal pins like the official Disney ones, or does some crafty person make them themselves?

I have a picture of the pin from 2010, the one off 2011 i cann't find.
But they are not by a crafty person, but a company that works for lot of big company's.

When we have a logo, we will put a message on this board.

Connie

 

[Pinky166]

Yes, we can go on the Transatlantic 2014.
My boss told me today that i can have vaction so we can go on this cruise.
Where so happy, the Ta 2010 was the best cruise ever.

But first we go to do the Alaska cruise in August.

Patrick and Connie

Welcome aboard, i've added you to the roll call.

I would also love to get the receipe for Sunken Treasure

Thanks for the reminder....it's been one of those weeks!

I will post it in a minute.

I would love to buy a pin.

Shall I add it to the first page and request they PM you with how many they want? What info will you need?

Think someone volunteered to make a logo but we need to finalize our name. I think Claire set tomorrow night as our deadline at which point she was going to put our top five choices in a poll on the DIS. So we are narrowing it down.

Correct. I will be closing it tonight and probably post the poll tomorrow evening.

It was Paul (Liesbeths son) who has volunteered to create the logo when we have a name.

Checking in - Tom & Beth (#6607) and Doreen (#6502).

Welcome aboard, i've added you to the roll call.

I can't believe it!! I'm soooooo excited to see this cruise!! And I can't believe you all are so organized already! This is my favorite cruise and I'm looking forward to all of it! Have fun planning, newbies rest assured you will love this trip. So excited for new ports too. Overall theme - super excited!!

Welcome, if you would like to post your names and cabin number i will add you to the roll call.

I am seeing a lot about the Champagne Girls. I am not a huge fan of champagne but do like bubbly drinks. Is it all regular champagne or some "other" bubblies?

Last time they gave out 5 glasses of different sparkling drinks, not all were Champagne but you get one of each, you can't choose to have 5 of the same. Hope that helps.

Hi everyone! We will be joining you on the WBTA! We did the EBTA in 2010 and loved it(all but losing the hours)! I know a few people on here already and I'm looking forward to getting to know the rest!We have cruised 11 times, all on Disney! It will be Janice(me), Tammy(sister), and Disneyana(niece-who will be 14 when we sail)!Our room number is 6530. Janice

Welcome, aboard, I have added you to the roll call.

Doesn't look like it

Message came up on the Hulu site when I tried to paly one of the episodes:

"Our video library can only be streamed in the United States"

The reason is a different video standerd. The US uses NTSC and UK uses PAL.
