Perhaps it's because there's so much chatter on fb?

No docs for us either yet.

I have to agree with that. No docs here, either! :-((

 

[Politzania]

Still no outing in Cabo for us. Since our time is so limited I'm wondering about just wandering around??? Is this worthwhile??

We're not doing an excursion either - looking forward to just browsing around a bit - not sure what to expect, since we've never been there.

Just a reminder that Scott and I are hosting a Roaming Jessica door magnet - if you sign up, she'll appear on your door one day during the cruise and it's your job to autograph the magnet and pass it on to the next person on the list (included with the magnet)

You can PM me or vz9p57 (aka my husband, Scott) to participate, or, if you can't PM yet, just post here to indicate your interest!

BTW - on the first April episode of our Disney fan podcast (coming out 13 Apr) , Scott and I will be sharing a pre-trip report for the cruise - feel free to tune in at the link in my signature!

Our documents came as well!

No stateroom assignment though.

We usually are amongst the first to get the documents in the UK for some strange reason but not this time it seems!!! I'm not expecting a room number till a few days before this time - when just the noisiest, raining in ones, smallest ones are left, if there are any left! Guess that is only right the price we paid but annoying non the less not to have a number.

Which lifeboat do you want to stay in Cork? Best bag the best ones now. I want one where I can pop up and into a room to have a shower and toilet stop!! Do you think they serve room service to the lifeboats?! Are there any life jackets in the lifeboats?

I got mine as did my sister. But my parents' docs were sent to someone else by mistake. The person who received it called Disney so new docs are going to be sent to my parents. Not sure if this happened to anyone else but if anyone else is still waiting on theirs, it might be worth a call to DCL to make sure the docs were sent to the right person and address.

I know, same here - usually we get them here in Germany before fellow cruisers get them in the States (however that may be), but not this time. Oh well, no mail today because of the holiday, Monday neither, so tomorrow is our last chance for a few days

We got our cruise docs yesterday too! I can't believe how fast this cruise is coming up!

 

[kbishop2013]

I have a disembarkation day question for the experienced Disney Cruise set! We have the early dinner seating, and as you know, that means a very early breakfast time on the last day. It was too hard on the kids and we let them sleep through it and hit the buffet instead, but they were sad to not be able to say one last goodbye to their meal hosts. How flex are the staff on letting us do the later breakfast? Anyone have this experience? Thanks!

 

[Jessica_of_FL]

Just got word that our cruise docs came in the mail today! Yay!

 

[MrsMork]

Does anyone have suggestions or opinions re: transfers from the port to LAX?

Super Shuttle will be right there waiting for you if you make a reservation. DCL transport would be easy, but depending on your flight time....you will have to wait for the bus to fill up with DCL. Super Shuttle will take you when you want to go.

Yep.

Explain and ask your servers the night before. There are lots of people that do not come to breakfast, so there should be seating available. My guess is that if you tell the servers that the kids were disappointed that they did not get to say a last goodbye before they will gladly have you join them for late seating breakfast.

Our cruise papers came in the mail today... North Central IL.

 

[Brixton]

Our cruise docs arrived on Monday, YAY! Hope we receive our room assignment in the next couple weeks. We're going to have so much fun

Paid too much $ to expedite passport renewals After we got passports for the girls, I completely forgot our renewals 'til yesterday! The post office passport clerk had a litany of DCL complaints. No casino, no late night bars, too many kids, and "NO HOT CHICKS." (it was a little odd)

 

[Robin"D"]

So I guess you know what we got today!!!

.

Robin & Angel "D".

 

[Jcmh]

and "NO HOT CHICKS." (it was a little odd)

LMAO! That is the funniest dcl complaint I have ever heard. I have never seen this as a category ranking for a cruise line. All the travel review sites should take note.

*snort*
Those are exactly the same reasons I choose DCL. If I need to avoid those elements, I head to Vegas.

 

[aan1701]

Just saying part of the reason I love DCL so much is the fact there is no casino. I always say the night life is what you make it. I have meet some great friends I still talk to this day that I have meet down in the bar.

Wow!!!! Exactly the reason we chose Disney in the first place!

We got our stuff today. I know this is going to make me done enemy's but I really don't see what the big deal about the docs are. They tell me nothing I haven't either printed or emailed myself. People say it makes the cruise seem that much closer, but it seemed like that to me when I did my online stuff.

I agree with you We still don't have ours but heck they won't even have a cabin number so not getting to excited. Now when the finally assign cabins I will be very excited.

 

[Namsupak]

We got our docs too yesterday. When the room assignments finally come in for everybody I'm going to be super busy adding them to the FE list

Reminder that tomorrow is the last day to sign up for FE

I'm sure most are busy getting ready for Easter dinner and such. We decided to keep it low key this year since we have so much stuff coming up next month. Hope everyone has a great Saturday!
