Hawaii 2012 [Roll Call, Discussion and Planning]

[AVP]

We're booked! Who's coming with us on this Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride?

[Karin]

I tried doing it thru the website, but even after I logged in so they could see I'm Gold Level, it wouldn't let me choose both April 2012 AND Pacific Coast. How do I even get to a point where I can see the prices?

It's not available through the website today - you have to call, or have a travel agent call.

Come h*** or Hawaiian waters we will be on that cruise. We are not Gold yet, but hoping our TA come through for us tomorrow morning. I will post when we know.

[LauraGar]

I tried to get a room this morning they only have category 5 open, I think I will check closer to it to see if anyone cancels. Bummer, I had gotten so excited.

Oh, do not believe that! Call a travel agent, tell them what you're looking for, and have them keep an eye out for you. SO MANY rooms will probably be available in the next 72 hours as people fail to make their deposits. Don't give up!

Where am **I**? geezlouise! I have done nothing but book DCL reservations for the past two days. This is the first time I've come up for air...and I end up here... Wow indeed. A very wild ride these past two days.

Hawaii sold fast and is unavailable online/phone to book. There might be rooms available as AVP says, as deposits aren't paid, but they will go as fast as they become available.

[AVP]

Hawaii is now sold out, but DO NOT let that fool you. I predict there will be lots of rooms opening up April 10-11 when the deposit deadline arrives, so don't give up.

If you need a wheelchair-accessible room, call Mary Kraemer - her agency has a hold on one. (You do need to qualify for an accessible room under Disney's policies to book that stateroom).

I have the hold personally on the oceanview disabled access stateroom.
I have the stateroom held with quad occupancy, just to have the most options available.

Mary: just emailed you.

[Karin]

We are out. What with having just gotten off the Fantasy Inaugural 3 weeks prior and the high cost of this one, we just can't justify it. I am so bummed.

[LauraGar]

Does anyone know DCl policy for Handicap rooms?

Or do they go by the ADA policy?

[mkraemer]

Hawaii sold fast and is unavailable online/phone to book. There might be rooms available as AVP says, as deposits aren't paid, but they will go as fast as they become available.

I was online this evening at midnight eastern time, and saw a number of Hawaii staterooms become available. And, as I was booking some for clients, I also saw prices jump dramatically within a very few minutes. They will be gone again very quickly.

[Toocherie]

Luckily Mary was online last night! My Mom is going to be so surprised!

[Zigen]

I'm curous... can anyone give a ballpark estimate of the prices?

[cdndisneydaddy]

I just checked DCL website, AVP was right, deposits were made and now some of the rooms have opened up!

Get in there people! This is gonna be a great time!

[Toocherie]

Please add me and my Mom (Doris) to the roll call!

Hello,

Did I miss an earlier post? I looked on the DCL website and didn't see any options for port adventures?

Are they leaving the activities to us or are they in the planning stages still?

Thanks everyone.

There is nothing available about excursions yet. Based on past experience, plan on details showing up sometime in January of 2012. DCL has historically waited to post excursions until right before the first excursion booking window opens for Platinum and concierge guests.

[mkraemer]

For an idea of excursions that are generally available, check out this link. I often recommend this site to my clients. Disney may very well have other options later on, but this will give you some ideas.

[cdndisneydaddy]

Hey seriously, is anyone else out there DYING to go on this cruise like I am? Seriously....I cant' wait.

Anyone doing FE's? I keep reading all these other posts about it and have not heard anything.

[AVP]

I can't wait either. I'm so tied up in everything else going on that I haven't really started planning anything.
