First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise 5/10/2009

[MenashaCorp]

::yes:: I agree completely for exactly the same reasons.
Does anyone else envision the drive from WDW to Port Canaveral to look like a procession of sorts with all of the people we have going already? And we are still 9 months out!

definitely....when i wrote my post above that thought popped into my head...
convoy........:banana:

This IS a Disney fan community. Don't y'all mean PARADE!?! :tiptoe::tiptoe: :tiptoe::tiptoe::tiptoe::tiptoe::tiptoe:...:moped: :moped::moped::moped: :boat: :boat::boat:

We kind of figiured that the podcast crew would let us all "hitch a ride" with them:rotfl:

I think it might be a nice idea to decorate the cars and windows and all travel together...

let's see knowing this group we should be leaving about 6Am to arrive just in time to wait 3 hours for the rope drop at the parking lot.:yay:

Rick will be doing a brisk business in the wait line by serving Pirate Bloody Marys from the portable bartending unit in the trunk:cool1:

Don't forget throwing beads!!! :jester:

Sounds like a party to me!

So here's the problem -- no one on the podcast crew is up at 6am but you are right about this group being up early to get to the port. I guess we'll just be drinking without the crew then? Shouldn't be much of a problem since they don't drink anyway (well, except CorEy and I don't know if Julie will let him drink if she isn't allowed to drink - I know after our DD was born and I couldn't drink, I was always bitter if DH could drink and I couldn't!)

Not an "official" part of the crew, but I'm an early riser! Gotta start the cruise out right :thumbsup2

Oopsie. I got caught.. :blush: Trust me, I wasn't trying to be judgmental. I have this... disorder. Grammaticaspellocompulsivorrhea. Or something like that. I hate when I misspell and get quoted, then it's OUT THERE for all to see.... most of whom don't even care :laughing: so, again, my issue.

Sorry if any offense. I do that for my own little benefit, not to prove any point. I'm trying to quit.... :hyper:

I'm with the boys on this one - the only way I see 6am is if I'm still up from the night before.:rotfl:

[calypso*a*go-go]

Man oh man, you guys have got me waffling now! I had decided we were going straight to the port to spend the night there beforehand, but not so sure now. How could I possibly pass up the opportunity to spend even more time with all my new BFF's?

Mmmmmm Waffles.... May I have some?? :hyper:


I haven't made definite plans yet, but I had assumed we'd be @WDW Sat night for Ursula's Pretty Scary Drink Around The World Party, since we don't board until, like, noon; and PC is about an hour away, right??

[parrotheadlois]

I hope the podcast crew arranges for buses for us, that would make so much sense!! Think of all the $15 in parking saved.

[calypso*a*go-go]

I think I'm going to stick with this strategy...it we can get the redeye on Alaska Air that leaves late Friday and arrives early Saturday, we'll stay at the Dolphin pre-cruise. If we end up leaving Saturday morning, none of the flights arrive @ MCO until early evening -- so we'll go straight to one of the port hotels since we'll be tired and grouchy (yes, I'm speaking from experience!).

Well, how do I explain this.:confused3 You are surrounded by complusive vacation planners that always have to be the first one waiting in line when they open the terminal doors! :eek: Which is great when we are not ALL going on the same cruise!!:rotfl2: It's gonna be like an episode of the Amazing Race or Smokey and the Bandit 15 on the Beeline!

I have to wait until National Rental Car opens at 8AM before I can leave for the port.

Last cruise, we received our boarding numbers as we walked in and the Diser's were all comparing their boarding numbers as badges of honor. How low could you go! And they were pretty low! I stayed at the Country Inn and woke up late 'cause the hotel alarm clock didn't work.

If I know Diser's, we'll all be pack-up and ready to roll in the morning BEFORE the pre-cruise meet! :wizard:

After you board, you're just chilling and relaxing anyway, watching the kids swim. Waiting for your room to be ready. Actually, I've always taken the advice to dress my kids in swimsuits so they can swim while the pools are not crowded when everyone's boarding. With fewer kids going, this may not be so much of a factor. However, I've learned on my own to not go right to the buffet, but find a comfy chair, grab a drink, watch the kids and then get in line the buffet line.
The kids don't want the buffet anyway, they want Hamburgers, hotdogs etc. at Pinocchios and Pizza at Plutos which is right by the pools. With all the spa, palo ressies done online now, boarding is much more relaxing.

It was so hard to make ressies AND watch my kids at the same time. They wanted to swim-I wanted to run around the ship. So great now!

I babbled sorry-

new answer-diser's show up at the terminal at 10AM! We want to grab every possible second we can to be on the Disney Magic/Wonder.

[DisneyKevin]

Compulsive planners????

This group???

No way.

[halliesmommy01]

Thanks for all the advice. Looks like I will be joining you all at the Dolphin. I am really looking forward to staying there. I will have my Kids so there will be no drinking around the world for me. Unless I sweet talk DH into putting the kids to bed and let me hang out with all my new BFF's.

Becky

[lttlmc3]

Okay, okay, so the idea is for everyone to spend the night at the Dolphin before? ARG I need to know because we'll be driving in and need to make a plan. Of course I have nine months to make this plan, but that's irrelevant!:goodvibes

Well, it's such a great deal that the podcast crew has arranged for us! $99 (+13% tax) a night, and not just ANY night, for me it's Friday and Saturday night. The two usually highest priced nights of the week. The Swan/Dolphin website have these rooms starting at $239/nt and going to $525/nt for those days. It's pretty much a steal to be right on the Boardwalk!

I'm looking forward to it. We've stayed at the Swan for 2 nights and my two youngest kids went to the Kids Club at the Dolphin so my oldest and I could have a night out and about. It was such a small area for a Kids Club, but my kids had a blast! Go figure!

[DVCsince02]

Well, since we will be without the kitlins (for the first time ever).... we are going to take our time in the morning if the bus allows us. Since we are staying at the BCV the night before, we plan on going at our own pace. No rushing to be first.

[tmli]

I was wondering if someone could provide a summary of pre cruise plans/parties? Of course assuming some definite plans have been made, maybe its all still speculation!!!

We will have ds (12) with us and will probably arrange in room care the night before the cruise so we can participate in the festivities!!!

We should have drink around the resorts...so that those of us without park admission don't have to miss out on Ursula's Pretty Scary Drink Around the World party...:rotfl:

Hey..we could check out Rix over at Coronado...and raise a moe-gee-toe in honor of Bawb while we're sitting in those really cool lounge areas...with tables and chairs and sofas! ;)

ETA: anyone interested in maybe doing a character breakfast before we head out to the ship? I've never done Cape May Cafe before...would it be large enough for a group of us?

There's nothing concrete yet as so many places will not allow you to book events this early. All we know is our favorite podcast crew is working on some special things that they will give us the dirt on as soon as they can.

silly me - but of course.....a parade!!!!!! :woohoo: :woohoo:

[kab407]

My Mom is joining me.

July was a nightmare. As a couple of you know, my Mom had surgery a few weeks back. What was suppose to be something routine, ended up being much more serious then any of us thought. It was hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worse. My Mom's surgery went fine, what they thought was the problem was indeed true. However, it was caught in time. Her prognosis is excellent and the Dr predicts her to live a long and healthy life so that she can continue to drive us crazy. Every post-surgerical problem that could go wrong has happened. We thought she was going to end up in the hospital again because of infection. She's come thru it though. I've been spending a lot of time at her house helping and getting her Dr. appointments.

OK, you're wondering, where is this going?

This past Thursday, I was making dinner when she calls me into the TV room. She had on the Travel Channel. And what was on the TC you ask? A DCL special. The conversation went as follows:

Mom: We should do another Disney Cruise.
Me: :scared1:
Mom: Not a long one thought. They have shorter one, right?
Me: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh, yes I think so :scared1: .
Mom: Don't they do 3 night cruises?
Me: Yup.
Mom: Where does it go to?
Me: Nassau and Castaway.
Mom: Don't they have a 4-night.
Me::scared1: :scared1: :scared1: yup!
Mom: Where does that go to?
Me: Nassau, Castaway and a sea day.
Mom: That's what we should do. Why don't you look into it. Maybe April or May.
Me: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: OK.

What immediately runs thru my mind: Crap :scared1: :scared1: What am going to do? There is no way I can get on the Wonder and not tell her. CRAP! :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: TRRRRAAAAAACCCCCCYYYYYY!!!!!!!

Off an email went to Tracy to get a quote to add on Mom and upgrade the room.

So last night we're sitting ouside and I bring up the subject of the cruise.

Me: So, are you serious about doing a cruise in the Spring?
Mom: Yes, but no a long one. I don't want to bring a lot of cloths. :rotfl2:
Me: Well here's the deal, I have a cruise booked for May 10th already. I sent an email to Tracy to get quote for adding you and getting a better room.
Mom: I really want a room with a verandah, who's Tracy and who are you going on a cruise with?
Me: Do you remember meeting John and Kevin back in May at DTD?
Mom: Yes.
Me: Them and the Podcast that they are on. The DisBoards is sponsoring a cruise on May 10th.
Mom: How many are going and do you know any of them?
Me: Over 200 and I've met a couple of them.
Mom: This isn't a cult thing is it?
Me: Do you want to go or not?
Mom: Sure, it sounds like fun. Will they have things planned? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Me: I think there are things in the works.
Mom: When are we leaving?
Me: :faint:

The past day I've been peppered with question of where are we staying before the cruise and are we going to stay after. What things are planned during the cruise. Maybe we can go to the Atlantis and see what it looks like and walk thru the casino:idea: What seating will we have for dinner, who do you think they'll seat us with?

So, my Mom is joining me. There better be plenty of rum on this cruise.

[winotracy]

Kathy, look at the bright side.... You don't have to pay a single supplement anymore :lmao: :lmao: I've added mom to the list on page one. Welcome!!!

[kab407]

Tracy, I love you!
Pete and John don't pay you enough.

[UrsulasShadow]

Congrats, CougarKat's mommy! You get to travel with us!
Kathy, let her sit next to me at dinner...I'll tell her all about us.

[MenashaCorp]

Tracy, I love you!
Pete and John don't pay you enough.

I've been saying the same thing... (The paying part) ;)

Sorry to hear about your July, K/K... Mine s*cked, too. Personal health issues, Susan's dog; today my dryer quit working, paper cuts...

I'm sure you'll still have fun. I'll see to it.. Mwwaahaaahaaaa....

:teeth: . :flower3:

[ALWAYSDISNEYDREAMING]

I want to be in the parade too :dance3: I will also be staying at the Dolphin the night before the cruise (driving in from New York) and the two nights following the cruise. I will have my car with me and will be driving to the port so a parade sounds like fun. We definately need to decorate our cars maybe that can be a pre-cruise party/activity car decorating which will be followed by door decorating once we get on the ship.

[ALWAYSDISNEYDREAMING]

Compulsive planners????

This group???

No way.

I can't wait to make my dinner reservations for the night before the cruise. Have we hit the 180 day mark yet?:yay:

[calypso*a*go-go]

Kathy/Kim -- I am officially volunteering for the first "Someone Please Keep My Mom From Driving Me Crazy" shift. Just let me know when and where!

I hope August is better for you and your little towel monkey. :goodvibes

[Launchpad11B]

We're going to the Dolphin for a few days after we get off the ship. Is anyone going to be at Disney after the cruise?

Lisa, thank you! That is so very kind of you. I figure I would give here a $100 and send her to the casino with John and Kevin. At with them, I know she'll make it back to the ship in time. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Mom: And they like you enough to go on vacation with you?
Me: They like John better.
Mom: Why do they like John better?
Me: I was joking with you.
Mom: So they do like you.
Me: I guess.
Mom: Are they always going to go with you?
Me: Yes Mom, I am now going to travel EVERYWHERE with 300 of my friends
Mom: That seems like it might get difficult.

I understand your frustration. Trust me.

What's funny is now that I know what your voice sounds like...I can really "hear" you having this conversation and can insert eye-rolls and head shakes as necessary.

[Disneybridein2k3]

Kathy and Kevin -- try having one of those conversations with a brand new boss! So I walk in her office for the very first time and see a b & w picture of Walt with the castle behind him in construction and I just love it so I tell her so. She then informs me that she's a Disney freak. What? I'm a Disney freak! (or I really prefer Disney enthusiast, but she did say it first so I guess it's okay ;) ) Anyway, we talk about our long love of all things Disney and I find out she's never been on the cruise. She's afraid that it will be overrun with kids. So I tell her about our podcast cruise. She's heard of podcasts before but not ours (do you hear me? I'm talking about it like I own it!) so I try to explain how 200+ people are all getting together to do the cruise and many of us are putting our kids in lockers or just leaving them at home. She still seemed a bit eneasy so I was telling her how fantastic everyone was and suggested she just listen to the show but then realized it was the email show with the whole polar bear thing so I had to go back and tell her to listen to several shows as one show may not be a good representation of one's sense of humor (bty -- this was me --->:rotfl2: ) I sent her the link with the prices but she hasn't come around to discuss the actual cruise yet. I figured I'd give her a bit of time to think about it first....

We're going to the Dolphin for a few days after we get off the ship. Is anyone going to be at Disney after the cruise?

We're staying at the Dolphin after the cruise thru Sunday!:woohoo:

I'm game to decorate the car, although mine is a rental. Is it illegal to put a low sign in the bottom of your back windshield?

[kab407]

Kathy and Kevin -- try having one of those conversations with a brand new boss! So I walk in her office for the very first time and see a b & w picture of Walt with the castle behind him in construction and I just love it so I tell her so. She then informs me that she's a Disney freak. What? I'm a Disney freak! (or I really prefer Disney enthusiast, but she did say it first so I guess it's okay ;) ) Anyway, we talk about our long love of all things Disney and I find out she's never been on the cruise. She's afraid that it will be overrun with kids. So I tell her about our podcast cruise. She's heard of podcasts before but not ours (do you hear me? I'm talking about it like I own it!) so I try to explain how 200+ people are all getting together to do the cruise and many of us are putting our kids in lockers or just leaving them at home. She still seemed a bit eneasy so I was telling her how fantastic everyone was and suggested she just listen to the show but then realized it was the email show with the whole polar bear thing so I had to go back and tell her to listen to several shows as one show may not be a good representation of one's sense of humor (bty -- this was me --->:rotfl2: ) I sent her the link with the prices but she hasn't come around to discuss the actual cruise yet. I figured I'd give her a bit of time to think about it first....

Cruising with my Mom is one thing. My boss....:scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

[scarlett873]

We'll have a rental too, but i'm not opposed to decorating, as long as it doesn't damage the car, of course...:rotfl: Podcast Cruise or Bust!!

I will be having that conversation in December once the surprise is revealed to our traveling companions! They already think i'm certifiably nuts anyway, so imagine my conversation with them as to why we are going on this particular cruise! :lmao:

[Yvet]

We are staying at the Dolphin after the cruise untill the 18th.

Maybe we can put all those mothers together and maybe they will find eachother....
I can immagine a conversation like this....

mom1. Hmmmm i'm sitting here and i don't understand why.
mom2. Yeah me too.
mom1. Is your daughter also here for that vacation with all those straingers??
mom2. Yeah she is, i can't understand why....
mom1. She told me something about a podcast, i don't understand a bit of that.
mom2. No me neither.
mom3. Heey are you also relatives from all those people that listen to there little things that lookes like a pack of sigarettes???
mom1 and 2. yeah we are.
mom3. I don't understand a bit off this whole thing.
mom1. No we were discussing that also, let's have a drink at the bar and let meet eachother bether......
mom 2. Yeahhhhh i could use a mo gee toe.
mom3. Mjammie a bit of rum...........


** okay just to let you know how disturbed i am...
When i imagine this and writing it down, i can hear and see it happening in full color and with moving images..

[Madi100]

I have had very similar conversations over and over and over.

Mom: You dont know any of these people?
Me: I've met a lot of them. You've met some of them.
Mom: And they like you enough to go on vacation with you?
Me: They like John better.
Mom: Why do they like John better?
Me: I was joking with you.
Mom: So they do like you.
Me: I guess.
Mom: Are they always going to go with you?
Me: Yes Mom, I am now going to travel EVERYWHERE with 300 of my friends
Mom: That seems like it might get difficult.

I understand your frustration. Trust me.

What a good mom. She's concerned about you being liked by all the kids.

By the way, if we're going on all vacations with you, when's the next time you're doing Adventures by Disney??

Good thing my family understands my obession, my MIL now just laughs at me when I tell her something and talk like you were in my living room having lunch with me :confused3

Yeah, well, I was dumb enough to mention it to my neighbor who has three kids. Two of them live at my house and the other one torments the heck out of my DD. I have got the worst headache from beating my head against the wall over that one. The one girl is here so much she hardly ever knocks anymore. And, she just helps herself to anything and everything in my house, including the food DH might be eating. They have no dad, and DH feels sorry for anyone without a dad, because he didn't have one. I'm thinking of emailing Tracy to have her tell them that the cruise is full if they ask to join our group.

[fakereadhed]

We're going to the Dolphin for a few days after we get off the ship. Is anyone going to be at Disney after the cruise?

We will be there for a couple of days after the cruise. My DH only tolerates Disney, so I figure the least I can do for him is give him some time at Cocoa Beach, Brevard Zoo, and KSC while we're there. I figure it will be more fun to do that stuff before the cruise, but I need to fit in WDW somewhere, so after it is!

[TheBeadPirate]

At Dolphin 2 nights before and 3 nights afterwards (got to find those AA meetings):rolleyes1

They make lockers for home use... ;)

[Madi100]

I've tried. DH keeps letting them out.

[Yvet]

Ohw the lockers are for the kids........:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Hmmm i believed for several years now (and used them for several years) that they where for your DH..... Hmmmm.:rolleyes1 :rolleyes1
Ah well it worked out perfect so it has a multiple usage....:lmao:

Yes...the lockers are now part of the "Leave a Legacy" promotion -- your DH uses it until you are ready to let him out, then the kids inherit it. :teeth:

[pershing]

Yes...the lockers are now part of the "Leave a Legacy" promotion -- your DH uses it until you are ready to let him out, then the kids inherit it. :teeth:

See, I don't get this at all on DCL!:sad2: When I show up at the kids clubs, my 3 DS's look at me as if I was a stranger, or even worse, with a hell, no I ain't going look-

'what, leave? Why?'

'I don't care if we're at some dumb Island! Can't I stay on the ship?'

Me, 'No, you can't stay on the ship!...'cause we paid alot of money to see these dumb Islands, that's why!'

(adding to say-my ds's are very spoiled when it comes to living near beaches and the seashore in general! Obviously they take it for granted.)

It's actually easier for me to bring them with me, then arrange for their care while I'm gone. I don't worry about having to care for them onboard. Like I've said before, I can't even get them to sit and eat dinner with me, which upsets the servers to no end. All in all, it's a perfect vacation for a single mom though. I can't think of one better! :boat:

[Stevegriswold]

Hi,

We will be on the PodCast Cruise and I had a question about booking Palo.

This is our first Disney Cruise and we have a daughter that will have just turned 4 a few days before we sail.

One night I would like to plan dinner at Palo with just my wife and I.

1) What night is best (don't want to miss a great Disney show)
2) What time is best? I just don't want to book this and then find out I booked the same time that X event is going on.
3) When is the earliest to call and book? Do you book via Dreams or call Disney?

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve. With this being your first cruise, the soonest you'll be able to book Palo will be February 24, 2009 at midnight, but your reservation must be paid in full by this date. You will make these reservations on Disney's website (can only be done online).

My guess is that it really isn't going to matter which date you set for Palo. Every night there is a show and dinner. If you eat early you will have a nice view, but have have trouble making the late show. If you eat later, you will be able to make the early show (usually at 6 or 6:30).

I think that's why I'm going to try for brunch!

[MenashaCorp]

I think that's why I'm going to try for brunch!

I'm trying for both... Just need to figure how much (if any) of the rotation is predictable... Is the duplicate night always 2 and 3? (Ex: TPPA for Tritons, Parrot/Parrot, Animators or PAAT for Parrot, Ani/Ani, Tritons)?

I think I've figured out the brunch day...

[winotracy]

Brunch will only be on Wednesday as that is the day at sea. Brunch will be more difficult to get than dinner since there are four dinners but only one brunch.

Personally, I love brunch, but I hate that it takes time out of the day at sea. We're doing brunch on the Panama Canal cruise because we have 8 days to do it, but on the five night cruise we only have one so we opted out for that one. It was weird too because since we are in concierge, we could prebook at 105 days so every time was available for brunch and dinner but we didn't book anything :eek:

Just in case anyone is keeping track - we leave in 10 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3:

on our last cruise, the duplicate was the last night....but that was about 4 years ago...

i can't remember our rotation....it was something like PATP.....something like that....anyway, the duplicate was the last night (same as the first night) on our cruise, but maybe they've changed that to reduce the palo crush..

as for palo's - we had brunch on the day at sea (the last day as i recall)...
we took the opening time slot....it was very very very nice...all 4 of us ate there (DH, DD, DS and me)....
i'm planning on trying for the brunch again....i know my mom and sister will enjoy it...

[kab407]

Only one brunch seating? I love Palo brunch.

We want to do Palo too, just not sure what night. I don't want to miss any festivities in the dining rooms!

Bumping for an answer. Tracy, do you know of any places that do this?

[winotracy]

I'm sorry I don't. I just checked on the excursions offered from DCL and there isn't one.

[TheBeadPirate]

So, my Mom is joining me. There better be plenty of rum on this cruise. Awwwww, c'mon over honey, there's plenty at our place(but I bet you already knew that, right?!?:p ) We're on deck 6 see if Tracy can get you close to us so you don't have to walk that far!:laughing:

I think it's great you're bringing Mom along!

I have had very similar conversations over and over and over.

Mom: You dont know any of these people?
Me: I've met a lot of them. You've met some of them.
Mom: And they like you enough to go on vacation with you?

Mom: Are they always going to go with you?
Me: Yes Mom, I am now going to travel EVERYWHERE with 300 of my friends
Mom: That seems like it might get difficult.

I understand your frustration. Trust me.

I love you both equally.

But when John cracks a joke I never expect it and so produces laughs that generally send some drinkable liquid (usually Diet Coke, which is blessed by the gods, by the way) spewing across the room.

We're staying at the Dolphin after the cruise thru Sunday!:woohoo:

I'm game to decorate the car, although mine is a rental. Is it illegal to put a low sign in the bottom of your back windshield?

Since when did legalities enter in to this?!? We've started our decorating list. We'll be the "Pirat-nator" car......pirate:

What a good mom. She's concerned about you being liked by all the kids.

By the way, if we're going on all vacations with you, when's the next time you're doing Adventures by Disney??

And can we do the VIP tour at DL? I want to see Soarin from the back side.

When you find them, let me know. I may needing some help........

C'mon over, we'll carpool. Settle Mom by the pool with a cabana boy......hmm, now there's some possibilities........:rolleyes:

Thanks Lori! i can't wait to meet you and Rick. With Annie joining me, I've upgraded the room. We are now on deck 6. We could be your neighbors! I'll be more then happy to share the wine, rum, vodka, moonshine.......

I'm sending my Mom to the casino with John and Kevin. I'll keep the cabana boy for myself! I mean, after all, I will need some help getting sunscreen on my back and shoulders. Isn't that what cabana boys do?!?!?!? ;)She's gettin' it now!! :banana:

Yes....and bring you drinks...two at a time. The ones with the little umbrellas in them. Oh and don't forget, it's very important that sunscreen be reapplied every few hours !!!!!! EVERY FEW HOURS.....at least. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Never underestimate the importance of sunscreen. Make sure that cabana boy knows that it must be reapplied every two hours! ;) :rolleyes1 And to keep the drinks comin'!

... Wonder if Tracy can arrange a limo (no better make it a super-stretch limo) to cart all intrested parties to the Casino and return us as soon as we have lost all of our money?:confused3

In an ideal world the limo would have Bloody Marys and / or Dole Whips available for the trip over to Atlantis... We could do a podcast segment on "let it ride" and explain that even the odds do not favor the player certain people (who shall go nameless John) seem to be able to overcome the odds.:rolleyes1

We should have ample tine to tape said segment as we will lose our money first (overachievers)..

For entertainment on the return trip we could see how long it takes Mindy to stuff Will in a duffle bag...popcorn:::rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl2: :thumbsup2

I took out the ?? as the dates are exactly correct. Remember though, your reservations must be paid in full and this doesn't mean that you send in payment to DU and you are paid. You have to get the confirmation from us that it has been applied at DCL so please give it at least a little business hours time to process. :)

You MUST have the exact date and time in EST so we won't pelt you when you board the ship.

I see after I posted, Tracy has confirmed! So at 12:01am on the above dates we log in!

Ok...so about this FE exchange stuff...

What ideas did anyone have for going-in-together kind of gifts? I might be interested in joining forces on this...

I was researching "promotional items" via google. A lot of good ideas there, but too costly for one person. If we can get a group together, we can e-mail our ideas and dollar amounts we want to spend. I don't mind heading up a group that may want share the cost of a better FE exhange. I don't want to spoil any surprises as to what the gift may be on this thread.:rolleyes1

I did the same thing and was thinking I didn't want to spoil the surprise. As you say some can get a little pricy especially considering the number of people on our cruise - aren't we over 100 already?

So maybe we can get some groups together and the groups can bounce ideas off each other via e-mail. I was hoping to wait until after the holidays to start thinking/working on this.

I thought I was a plan in advance type but you guys really have me beat.:worship: I'm still planning my Sept '08 trip.

They are really quick about getting the payments posted. I had read about a very bad travel agent on another thread that held on to someone's payments and they couldn't book their excursions so I was just a little worried about that. I made my final payment about a week before the 75 day mark and it was posted the next day. It may have been sooner, but that's when I checked it. DU did a great job :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

[DVCsince02]

The beach?

I already told you in my major hi-jack post I was going to the beach this weekend!;)

I have a question... Since you list DS#2 as "WDW Souvenir," will you be naming him accordingly? "Saratoga?" "Timeshare?" :lmao: "Wishes?"

Our daughter has already named him..... Coconut Blueberry

I think she watched a little too much Strawberry Shortcake that week, but she still insists that be his name, so CB for short.:lmao:

I guess if we can at least get an idea as to what we're looking at, then i'm game! We don't have to purchase anything until after the holidays...

I've got some small things that I would like to do, but maybe they can just be incorporated into a group gift! :)

Do the group gift thing and then pick a special day and do the little tings then! I think Rick's picked something out for the Pirate day and sometihng different for the "At sea" day. I don't have classified clearance yet for that kind of data.....:sad2:

And I remembered!! How thoughtful am *I*??!?


OK, for the benefit of someone cursed (ahem...cough cough...splutter) with a MALE brain... Could y'all explain how this FE exchange is supposed to work logistically? I have labored under the (apparent) misconception that small groups exchanged within themselves like a "Secret Santa." Are we thinking that a few would provide lagniappe for the many?



Lagniappe refers to "a small gift given to a customer by a merchant at the time of a purchase" (such as a 13th beignet when buying a dozen), or more broadly, "something given or obtained gratuitously or by way of good measure."

[MenashaCorp]

Nope, SSR. Is this TMI?!?! LOL

As long as you don't name him "Hideaway"[1] or "Jacuzzi." :lmao:



[1](Can't name him "pullout couch...")

[scarlett873]

I'm not sure how many I was thinking about. Maybe at some point we can start a thread for the FE exchange so that we know how many will be participating...I'm guessing that not all 100+ cabins will participate. :confused3

What I have seen the groups do before is decide how much each of you wants to pay for gifts and then multiply by the number of people contributing.

I'll help with ideas when I get back. I'll have two cruises of FE gifts to tell you all about.

They are really quick about getting the payments posted. I had read about a very bad travel agent on another thread that held on to someone's payments and they couldn't book their excursions so I was just a little worried about that. I made my final payment about a week before the 75 day mark and it was posted the next day. It may have been sooner, but that's when I checked it. DU did a great job :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

We are really quick with making the payments but I noticed one of the days was a Sunday or Monday. I was just suggesting not to wait until 11:00 pm the night prior and then wonder why it's not paid in full. I would say if it is a weekend, make sure it is paid by the Friday prior by 5pm Eastern to be safe. There's also some times when a credit card has problems and that will give us time to notify you and get it corrected. I had one yesterday that the credit card was declined. I asked the agent to try it again and it went through. You never know and you don't want to wait until the last minute to find out.

Packing!?!? I gotta get to packing!!! Maybe if I didn't sleep in today :mad:

Tracy (or anyone else who knows the answer),
when we get to the cruise, will we get a list of all the podcast participants along with their stateroom #'s? In case, we want to run around to all 100 rooms....

[calypso*a*go-go]

Just out of curiosity -- why do so many of the FE's pictured have so many pockets? Is it to try and personalize it for individual family members or do you just end up in a group that's so big the pockets fill up really fast?

Maybe both....

I haven't contributed to this thread in a while, but I have been TRYING to keep up with all of you. Shwew! Is it ever difficult! Boy, we go away for a little vacation and...WOW! It's taken me a couple of days to catch up. Ofcourse I have to try and get some work done somewhere in between pages.:rotfl:

Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that I think the FE is a great idea, and I'd be very interested in going in on a group exchange. I'm sure I'll chime in again when the plan-a-holics get more organized!(Which shouldn't take very long...):lmao:

I've gotten quite a few PMs lately about this cruise. Please send any questions to me at Tracy@DreamsUnlimitedTravel.com. This is very important right now because when I head out in 7 days I will not be able to get the DISBoards as much (have you tried to access the internet on the ships?).

I will be checking and answering email while I'm gone. Thanks!!!!!!

You don't want pictures of me on the burrow? :confused3 I actually mentioned to DH last night that I should make a special t-shirt for that day. Can you help me with a slogan to put on the shirt? I was thinking something like:

I'm tougher than this burrow!

Speedboat, Unimog, burrow, ziplining and rappelling... Will I make it to 40?

My face is cuter than my burrow (ok, I was actually thinking of another word for burrow). :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[cdnmickeylover]

Tracy - say hi to Jean and Nancy and their other halfs for us. Say hi to Pete and Jenn too afterwards and be sure to take a lot of pictures!! So jealous.

I think you posted just to rub in the fact that you are going away and the rest of us are stuck sitting at a desk, looking out a window at rain, rain and more rain!!

Can't overly complain though as we are heading to WDW in just over a month!!

Hi Halliesmommy!
I was excited to see someone from STL also!:goodvibes So, you are gonna do the big drive to Orlando, huh? Believe me, I have thought about it, too. If Southwest doesn't have any reasonable prices, we may decide to drive! I'm just not that good in the car for that long, though. I don't think DD would be very good on the trip, either. But, I guess as long as we had her Nintendo DS with us, she'd do fine.

I've been trying to think of some St. Louis type things for the Fe's, too. Gooey Butter cake would be good, but it might get a little TOO gooey during the trip. And, I wish Anheuser Busch(or whatever it will be called by next May:headache: ) made mini bottles. That would be perfect!

Let me know if you come up with some great ideas, and I'll be thinking about it, too!

[aaronmckie]

And as far as making the magnets, you can visit the DISigns board. They seem to have bunches of ready made stuff that can be personalized with your names, etc. All you would have to do is print them out and you can attach magnets to the back of the pictures!

Give me some time to figure out photoshop and maybe I can help! :)

As far as the FE, I can't really sew to save my life. Let me rephrase that...I can sew, but then i'd have to have my mom rip it apart and fix it the way it should have been done to begin with! :rotfl: I've got a hook up for my FE though...;) There's always ebay too!

Shanan just started doing this as well... I'm trying to coax her onto these boards (she mainly lurks around Creative DISigns).

[weaura]

OOO, outed! Are you on the cruise???

Yes. My husband & I are coming on the cruise. :banana: It's our first cruise ever, so we're very excited, but don't have much of a clue about what's going on.

These boards intimidate me - but I'm trying to come out of my shell. I don't know how to put info about myself over there in the line where you all have such cute things. Maybe I'll eventually figure it out :)

I'll share a little bit about us though. We have been to Disneyland about 7 or 8 times over the years, and went to WDW for the first time in May 2007. I ended up in the Celebration Hospital :sick: for 3 days during that vacation and don't remember too much about our time at WDW, so this is kind of a "make-up" trip. I'm hoping to remember this one. :thumbsup2

We have raised all of our children, so we don't have any to bring with us on the cruise. We're not planning to tell them we're going, because after what happened last year they don't like anything Disney. Sad, huh?:sad1:

Linda,

Oh, yeah we also live in the state of liquid sunshine (OR)

This will be Shanan and I's first cruise as well... we are SO excited :dance3:
Glad to see you posting, and everyone here is aggressively friendly, so don't worry at all.

Glad to have you aboard :boat:


btw your cruise name will be Kim... don't ask :laughing:

You will. Everyone one here started out as you are now and we all learned our way....If we can do it, so can you. :hug: I started by reading the Frequently Asked Questions thread

in the Technical support forum (seen at the bottom of the main disboards page). Should speed things along.:thumbsup2

WELCOME ABOARD ,:welcome: Linda/Kim!! (Kevin remarked on a recent podcast how many Kims there seemed to be on the boards, so some of us are trying to make it simple by just calling everyone Kim.) :laughing:

[weaura]

Ack! Don't be intimidated by the boards, everyone is really nice here!!
Oh, and poor thing, how did you end up in the hospital!?

We had been there a week, and I had been having trouble. Finally on the morning of about day 6 my family couldn't wake me up. My husband finally could get me to move around and open my eyes, but I couldn't talk. He said the only thing I would do was hug him, so he called 911. I came to in the ambulance. Although I'm not diabetic and didn't know about low blood sugar, they said I had extreme hypoglycemia. My sugar level was recorded at 11 by the EMT's. I have been told by numerous doctor's "that people don't survive with that #". So in 2007 I spent 58 days in the hospital, have had 2 surgeries, AND lost my job due to "restructuring". I got way behind on the podcast's with the Disunplugged team, but when I started working again I got caught up and heard about the cruise and talked my husband into going.

He doesn't listen to the podcast, but he's a good sport about most everything, so we'll have fun.

We don't drink, but we could be the designated drivers :drive: or something. Or just laugh with the good times!:lmao: :lmao:

Kim &(is my husband also called Kim?)

[UrsulasShadow]

Yep...Kim is a gender-neutral name, so everyone's Kim....except for me, and Cougar/Kat, of course.

[disneyholic family]

As far as the FE, I can't really sew to save my life. Let me rephrase that...I can sew, but then i'd have to have my mom rip it apart and fix it the way it should have been done to begin with! :rotfl: I've got a hook up for my FE though...;) There's always ebay too!

when i was in junior high, we had to take home economics - which included sewing....to say that i can't sew to save my life would be the understatement of the century .... for my assignment i made an apron, and even that didn't turn out so well.... :rolleyes:

Yes. My husband & I are coming on the cruise. :banana: It's our first cruise ever, so we're very excited,



how exciting to be going on your first cruise !! :banana:

so this is a great way to celebrate having "survived" 2007!..
i'm taking my mom and sister on this cruise - even though it says DH is going with me in the list on the first page, i'm actually taking my mom and sister, not DH....but being superstitious, i don't want to officially list them until closer to the date..

anyway, both my mom and sister are cancer survivors, so i'm taking them on this cruise as a kind of celebration ...

i am so hoping they enjoy it...they're not big disney people...in fact, for many years they were disney haters.....but i've worked on them over the years.....it's been slow going....but i don't give up easily...
anyway, i hope this cruise is spectacular for them...

[winotracy]

Welcome!!!:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: You are in for what promises to be a super time! Please don't be intimidated. We are a super friendly group. The key thing to remember is that it call comes back to food! And is all else fails, ask Tracy! She may not be packed yet, but she knows all!


We don't drink, but we could be the designated drivers :drive: or something. Or just laugh with the good times!:lmao: :lmao:

Kim &(is my husband also called Kim?)

I think the term is, "designated walker". You can walk those who drink a tad bit too much back to their room, open the door and shove them in. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

You're both Kim. Trust me it's just easier this way.

Is that the excuse you really want to use?????:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[DLBDS]

Ok folks. I was waffling on whether or not to participate with the FE exchange. THEN, I found a wonderful seller on eBay that makes awesome FEs. And she's a local DISer! Practically just around the corner from me (neighboring town). So, now that I've found a source for the FE ('cause I just couldn't make my own :confused: and I wouldn't throw up just any old thang.) I now feel like I could be a part of this! Now, I have a couple of questions.....is it ok to pass out liquor in the sample bottles or is this a no-no? Also, I think Tracy said that there wouldn't be a list of participants until closer to the cruise. Do we HAVE to wait? I don't want to add to Tracy's work load. Maybe someone could monitor the list and add/remove as necessary. I wouldn't mind taking it on if no one else wants to. It would make deciding on what to give much easier. Obviously the gifts would be much nicer for a smaller group but if we're talkin 100 folks here well, that would probably mean a lot of Dollar Store etc. fare I'm afraid (at least from me anyway).

[Disneybridein2k3]

And as far as making the magnets, you can visit the DISigns board. They seem to have bunches of ready made stuff that can be personalized with your names, etc. All you would have to do is print them out and you can attach magnets to the back of the pictures!
Another alternative is to just print on magnetic paper - the front is plain but the back is a magnet. The paper can be bought online or at most stores that sell paper (Staples, Walmart, etc).

[A.Mickey]

That is so great Shanan. Thank you for sharing. Where do you find you wall paper or clip art?

Thank you, Becky! I just did a google search for Castaway Cay and found the pic, the clip art just do a google search as well. Let me know if you need any other help, I am kinda really new to this myself.

Ok...refresh my memory...

Are we still able to ship a package to the pier before our cruise? If so, will it be put into our cabin for us or would we have to claim it prior to boarding?

I know it's been discussed, but I just can't remember the most current information!

Thanks! :)

You can ship a package to the pier but there are some restrictions in size and contents (no liquids or food)

WHAT are we all really going to DO while she's gone?!?!? :eek: I haven't built a panic room or bunker! I do have some bottled water and canned goods, plenty of ammo (hollow points recommended for head shots on post-apocalyptic zombies), flares, candles and wind-up flashlight,.. need a generator and a million bucks for 36 hrs of gasoline-powered electricity for the HDTV.... Hmmm.... Need more time to develop a disaster plan.

By the time FEMA gets buses in here, she'll be GONE!!!! :scared1: :scared1:
