That's us! We are the "other" family. Had 4 phones going and still had to "settle" for cat 11a. But at least we are going to make it onto the boat.
Like mad mom said, we will have 4 girls between us. Two 12-yrs and two 8-yrs. And husbands! We're taking them too. I can't wait for the FE exchange again. And this will be our first trek to castaway.
I'd be happy to organize the mixology class!
I do not feel so bad. We had three phones going and still took us almost two hours to get in then 45 minutes in queue to talk to someone, we did not get cut off. All of our 4 picks were gone by this time and we are in category 5D more than we wanted to spend but what the hey, desk 6 forward. This is our 3rd Members cruise and 5th Disney cruise. Looking forward to this cruise...smjj
6 phones going here! We were very lucky, they answered at 8:02, we were on hold for 15 minutes until we spoke with someone. Didn't get our first choice, (because we were after the 5E which there are hardly any!), so our next choice was 5D. By 9:00 we were off the phone! This is our first member cruise, we are beyond excited!!! 363 days and counting!!!
I have not found it yet on either the DVC site or the DCL site. Last time it showed up under DCL Castaway Cay page sooner than any other areas, a few days after booking.Very excited about booking our first DVC cruise! Wasn't too bad booking this morning. First 2 calls were busy signals then got on..waited in queue over 40 min then had to wait again to pay...but was very happy to get first choice category (T) and we are all very stoked about concierge level. This has been a very tough year and we decided to go all out for this trip since we couldn't do our usual Aug. Disney trip this year. DH has been on tablet most of the day reading everything he can about the ship and member cruises. One quick question...CM told me that I would be able to see the booking on my DVC online account today and will be mailed official letter and reservation info later. I don't see anything online...has anyone seen their booking info on their DVC account? Just curious...thanks

Glad to read your homestead stayed dry during those thunderstorms. I just told DW that albeit we aren't in a flood area, nor ever had water in our home, I was going to investigate adding a flood policy. Thanks for starting this thread, it will be interesting to see how many folks we accumulate along the way.
Greetings from Virginia! I called yesterday morning at 0900 and by 0949 we had our reservation (oceanview 9b). By 1300 I saw that a majority of the ship had sold out and I believe it was category 4 that was left for booking. I had a feeling this cruise would sell out fast and it did! Have a magical day!
Our reservation for the member cruise does show up on the DVC website. They said it would take four weeks till we get a confirmation package from DCL. I am so glad to have booked right away since it sold out yesterday. I think there's been a pent up demand for a seven day Caribbean member cruise since the four night ones seem to be over so soon. We have been on two member cruises on the Dream and yes, you do get about a suitcase's worth of gifts during the cruise from DVC, not just fish extenders. Ours included canvas beach bags, hats, etc.; so it's a good idea to have an extra suitcase to get everything home.
Congrats! We celebrated our 40th last year on the WBTA.I called right at 9 a.m. and got in the queue, but it took an hour to book because first there was the wait to talk to DVC and then a second wait to give credit card information to pay for our second passenger. We are using points for me and cash for DH. Got what I wanted, a category 9 B oceanview cabin. We purchased DVC in 1995 and will be celebrating our 40th anniversary on the cruise.
