If anyone is interested in designing a custom pillow case with photos to have signed on the cruise, Artscow has a special going on until 5/10/11. If you are not familiar with the site, they are an on line photo prints/gifts site located in Hong Kong. I have ordered from them many times, and for the price I find most items to be pretty good quality. I have never ordered their pillow cases so I cant speak about the quality of them, but the sale price is $12 for 2 shipped, so I figured I would give them a try. The designing feature on the site is a little hard to get used to, but once you get the hang of it you can make some pretty decent designs to add to your pictures. Here is the link:
http://www.artscow.com/photo-gifts/pillow-case/pillow-case-412
And the coupon code is BED2FOR12 which expires on 5/10/11. Also, you can make 2 different designs for the $12 (it is not 2 copies of the same pillow case).
Shipping can take a few weeks since these come from Hong Kong.

Just figured I would share this info with you all.

One last thing, I think the coupon code may be good for the rectangle pillows only, not the square ones.

Cool! Thank you! I'm going to check them out!

We did Remy March 12th. Wife agrees it was the nicest dining experience we ever had to date. Period.

Thats good to hear - I'm booked for Remy for my birthday but dh is a picky eater. He said he could always go and get a hot dog afterwards if he was still hungry!

I'd never get the opportunity 'on land' to go to such a restauant so IM making the most of it!

 

[MrsJobba1]

WOW !! that's a great idea !!! THANKYOU !!!
We had pillow cases signed by characters some years ago !! we just had white linen pillow cases , signed using BIG markers with two bright colours !!! Really pretty !!!

I remember bringing our pillow cases to Guest Services on the second day -
and collecting them a couple of days later ... Some signatures , like Pluto's paw, are sooo cute !!!

That's one thing we've never done the pillow cases - might try and do it this year -
Thanks for the reminder

Where are you flying to? Keep looking it will happen ours was $292 and it went to $124 now it's $159



Sounds like you are going to have a "who sleeps in the top bunk first issue" LOL

Southwest out of Philly, the flights down dropped to $89 but, the return is at $170. I'm hoping to get a credit when it drops.

Hi I just wondered- is it normal in the states for airline prices to change and drop- as here in uk the prices never drop but go up the nearer to a flight you get ???

Hi Amanda,

I'm really on the fence about Remy's also! This year we are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary so I did book it but I'm not sure I'm going to keep the ressie. DH is allergic to shellfish, not sure what will be offered as a substitution if any.

Mary

Mary...Do they only serve shellfish? My DH is also allergic to shellfish.

We did Remy March 12th. Wife agrees it was the nicest dining experience we ever had to date. Period.

It's comments like these that makes me say Hmmm, maybe I should give Remy a shot. DH said book it, but I'm like...the food they give you in the restaurants are fine. We'll see

Hello ALL!!! Are we really coming up on 100 days???!?!?! AAAaaacccKKK!!!
I've been watching SW too for the price drop and was able to switch our departure from 8 am 8/26 to 4:30pm 8/27 for less than we had before!!! (I booked ours at $145) So that means TWO nights at the Poly post-cruise!!! WoooHOOOOOO!!!!
Now to decide on 1-night pre-cruise....
I was originally leaning towards the Hyatt, but was thinking that if we went with Disney all the way, we wouldn't have to handle our luggage at all (Islip to DME to our Resort Room to DCL to our stateroom back to our resort room --i heard DCL is now transferring luggage for WDW resorts straight from the boat?-- can anyone confirm this? -- then RAC back to Islip) -- Not looking to rent a car as DBF, who is a communications IT Engineer and drives ALL day ALL over the Tri-State area, wouldn't have to drive at all-- so was thinking of just doing the one night at a value or mod instead. And since we're doing B2B, i'm not all that concerned about being at port to hurry up and wait.
So, I was reading conflicting reports about DCL check-in at the resorts does anyone know if ALL resorts have a possible DCL check-in or just some?
Any suggestions for night one - low key - no parks...?

We are staying at the Four Points in Cocoa beach, you can always stay at a Disney resort and just enjoy the resort. When are you flying to Florida? We may be on the same flight

As other flights fill up, the airline will drop a flights price to fill the plane a bit then raise it again and play that cat/mouse game for a while. But you can never be sure, that is why when you see the price you are happy with you should book it.

LOL- we were originally on the 5:30pm flight, but I was able to move us up to the 12:55 flight with the price drop. I'm going to keep watching though and hopefully be able to nab the 7am

ROTFL...We were originally on the 7 am flight because that was the cheapest flight and when the price down on the 12:55 flight, we grabbed that one, did not want to get up at 4 am, what day are you flying in? Saturday, Sunday or Monday?

I printed out my countdown chain today!!! Woohoo!! Let the countdown begin!!!

Thank you!! If you had not posted about it then I would not have even checked. I can't believe I now have $360.00. When I was speaking with SW they said $323.00 but the email and my SW account says $360.00 I'll take it!! Thanks, again!!
