Tracy's going to kill me for posting this already... :eek:

but since i'm no longer on that very LONG list just above my post, i wanted to get my name on the first page somehow...

i unfortunately, will not be joining you all on your wonderful podcast cruise..

i've had to change my cruise to the following week....

oh well.....hopefully, i'll have a chance to meet up with at least some of you at WDW the weekend following the podcast cruise (which for me will be the weekend before my cruise)....

and i hope you all post lots and lots and lots and lots of live trip report pictures during the cruise, so that I (and other unfortunates like me) will be able to vicariously cruise along with you ...:goodvibes

[datadoc5]

Darn, I wanted to be the first post. What a great group and we are really looking forward to the cruise. :worship:

[georgemoe]

Wow you guys do good work. I take one little plane ride and a day in Epcot and you've forced Tracy to start a 3rd post. Nice! I'll have to catch up when I get back. Off to AK. Hope everyone has a good day.

I will ask the first cruise related question on this thread:


If you rent a car and drive to the Cape Canaveral, the rental shops have transport shuttles to the dock. Do they also have shuttles waiting for after we disembark?

Yes. :thumbsup2 You have to call and schedule it.

I think.

[jeanigor]

And is there going to be a huge line that I will have to wait in....might it be worth the $75(?) dollars to park at the port and not deal with the hullabaloo?

It will last until we run out of rooms. For your post cruise stay you have more time than if you want a precruise stay.

[jeanigor]

Thank you. As you know, the pre-cruise stay is booked. Now I am seeing if a post cruise stay is in the budget.

[Dodie]

Hello everyone. I can't keep up with you guys - so I'll just pop in to say "hi" on our new thread so I'll be subscribed and I can read your craziness.

[SamIAm21]

I've rented a car for post-cruise use and I called Hertz for the exact 411. The Hertz rep at Cape Canaveral told me they have shuttles running past the port buildings every 15 minutes. I'm sure if Hertz is doing it, so are other rental agencies. I will admit that I do have my car reserved already. :blush:

I definitely believed your answer Tracy, but I'm not sure I asked you that exact question about the rental agency shuttles and their time schedules?? As long as I had the rep on the phone I asked her point blank.

I want to make this perfectly clear, I'm Very Blonde and sometimes I need to be told more than once. :guilty:

Just giving you a hard time. I have no clue what their time schedules are, I just know that outside of the terminal there are designated drop off/pick up locations for each agency. I stand there and they come. It works :)

[klam_chowder]

If you rent a car and drive to the Cape Canaveral, the rental shops have transport shuttles to the dock. Do they also have shuttles waiting for after we disembark?

Oh good question! I was actually wondering the same thing...

Seems like a lot of people (including me ;) ) are trying to work out how to get from WDW to port in an affordable manner...:confused3

I know what the options are but is there any chance the DU owners (ahem :goodvibes ) might consider having someone coordinate a bus service from Dolphin to Port return? :thumbsup2

I'm not talking subsidized transportation but if given your contacts/network, a group bus could be booked for say $40 return/person, it would sure help out. The Disney charge of $70 is pretty steep, esp in this economy. :scared:

The bus option would also be a lot greener than everyone driving down themselves; would cut down on traffic congestion, pollution, driving up rental car rates, etc. :crowded:

Obviously some would prefer to arrange their own transport but with 300+ cruisers, there's prolly a fair number that would really appreciate this option, especially since a fair number of us are 1st time/1st DCL cruisers. Those not staying at WDW but not the Dolphin could just cab to the Dolphin that morning.

Just thought I'd put it out there...if any of the Podcast Team is in chat this wk, I might ring this bell again since they'd be insane to try to follow the podcast cruise threads :rotfl:

cheers,
:flower3:

Woot! Woot! Good Idea. Nicely worded and supported!

[calypso*a*go-go]

I think transfers would be a great idea...except won't most of the people staying at the Dolphin need to rent a car anyway to get from the airport to the hotel? If so, does the Dolphin charge for parking as part of the "resort fee", if not and it's a separate charge...why not just pay for parking at the cruise terminal instead? What am I missing here?

Parking is a separate charge at the hotel and port. I'm renting a car, but I'm not parking it at the port. I'm not paying for $15 per day parking plus the car rental for 4 days that I'm not using it.

I'm still debating whether or not to do 1-way rentals...it's going to be such a quick trip for us that I don't want to waste any extra time at car rental counters than I have to...besides, sometimes you can catch some pretty good deals on a weekly rental.

We are doing a 1 day rental picking up at MCO on Sat, dropping off on Sunday for $40. We'll then pick up a car on Thurs and drop it at MCO on Sunday. For us I think that would be the easiest, least expensive route. :goodvibes

Although not necessarily the most environmental of options, I am probably going to choose this as well. It will also allow for us to make any necessary :drinking1 stops.

thx a mint for the feedback :goodvibes

I understand it's more work to be green...if I end up having to rent a car, I'm hoping to carpool with someone at least as there's only 2 of us. :upsidedow

cheers,
:flower3:

[klam_chowder]

Look!

that's great the t-shirts will arrive in time for all those MF/TSM goers! :thumbsup2 I'm happy for y'all! :goodvibes

okay, i'm gonna get flamed but i can take it...after waiting so long for the release of the t-shirts, I was disappointed with the design - seems like the same logo twice and I anticipated some sort of memorial to Bawb on it, like a small design on the sleeve or something. I thought the overall design of the t-shirt would be more interesting. When I saw them, I didn't feel - I GOTTA have it! Don't worry, I know it's a fundraiser for Bawb so I'll pick up 1 (or 2) before the cruise regardless...just sayin' :upsidedow

yeah.... you think being the the parks stopped this crowd from posting? I am still thinking I'll take my laptop to TSM meet and live blog, no pics, no video, no voice...but maybe a vivid description

:worship: :worship: :worship:

Sorry Tracy -- I know I'm being naughty...but I just wanted to pop in and let Beth know she will be missed! :sad1:

i was really looking forward to meeting you..:sad1:

but i guess my son's wedding trumps the podcast cruise ...

[winotracy]

I'm leaving for the airport in an hour. I'll try to check in here to see if there are any real cruise questions but if you don't hear back from me in a while, feel free to email me your question. I doubt I'll keep up with that other thread :rolleyes1

Bye everyone! See some of you on the 13th!

[kab407]

Have a safe trip Tracy!

I guess its okay for me to jump ship now :)

Let the record show I followed directions for once!

Have fun Tracy, take lots of photos so us homebodies can see that action.

[dpuck1998]

Tracy's going to kill me for posting this already... :eek:

but since i'm no longer on that very LONG list just above my post, i wanted to get my name on the first page somehow...

i unfortunately, will not be joining you all on your wonderful podcast cruise..

i've had to change my cruise to the following week....

oh well.....hopefully, i'll have a chance to meet up with at least some of you at WDW the weekend following the podcast cruise (which for me will be the weekend before my cruise)....

and i hope you all post lots and lots and lots and lots of live trip report pictures during the cruise, so that I (and other unfortunates like me) will be able to vicariously cruise along with you ...:goodvibes

Darn kids, but I'm sure you will have fun anyway! No doubt there are podcasters on every cruise that sails anymore.

[dpuck1998]

Tracy is gonna be so mad at you!

Not me, I'm the good one (oops).

[dpuck1998]

You do realize that we will now be banished to the bowels of the boat, right? :scared:

I couldn't wait any longer....I gave into the dark side. Forgive me!

TODD!!!!!!:scared1: :scared1: :scared1:


Shame on all of you...you should be like Mindy and I :angel:

[dpuck1998]

Hey! I had to get on the first page while I could....this job thing is takin' up all my time!

Someday the will pay us to DIS....right??

[dpuck1998]

And is there going to be a huge line that I will have to wait in....might it be worth the $75(?) dollars to park at the port and not deal with the hullabaloo?

I plan to rent and park....Since the trip is so short its a small expense for the time I'll save. The vacation is already pretty expensive so a few extra bucks is worth it for such a short trip.

[dpuck1998]

Poor Tracy, not only are we posting on 2 threads, we're giving out incorrect information! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:


I'm sorry

:rolleyes1

[dpuck1998]

Welcome to the insanity!!!

And you didn't miss much on the other thread...mostly fluff...and Don's 4 or 5 wives...and hawt people will be on this cruise...:dance3:

Was it 4..or 5. Actually I think I only have 2 or 3 that still claim me.

[dpuck1998]

OMG, what have I gotten myself into??? I just signed on like 5 minutes ago and there are already tons of new posts! :scared: It's gonna be a loooong few months, isn't it? :rotfl2:

:thumbsup2 ::yes:: ::yes:: ::yes::

[dpuck1998]

We are doing a 1 day rental picking up at MCO on Sat, dropping off on Sunday for $40. We'll then pick up a car on Thurs and drop it at MCO on Sunday. For us I think that would be the easiest, least expensive route. :goodvibes

FYI, Don't use National Rental in Cocoa Beach. We had a not so fun experiance with them. We had to take a cab to get back the agency and when we arrived it wasn't open. Also, we reserved a car seat and they didn't have it. It was a real "fly by night" operation.

[dpuck1998]

Look!

Hmmmm....one for each day of the cruise?

[cocowum]

Too busy planning a cruise I guess!

[exwdwcm]

Have a great time Tracy! You will be missed and you will come back to probably 100 pages.....:lmao:

so here's another cruise related question- what time are most folks planning to leave the Dolphin/Orlando for the port (if you have a car)? 10am? 9am? Is there a caravan?

I'd like to know as well - if we get there early, are we just going to be standing around before we are allowed on the ship?

[dpuck1998]

If memory serves I think the parking lot opens at 10am? Someone will correct me I'm sure. I was actually there 10 mins before opening and had to wait in my car. The hold some cars in the lot across the street before letting them park. Then we checked in and waiting to board in the terminal. They have TVs and couches and we needed to check our kids in etc. It was a few hours, but not too bad. If you don't want to sit around waiting then I would come later. The only thing you'll miss is getting on board early when you can't even get into your room yet. We went swimming and had to wait to get into our room till 4 (I think) again someone will come along and correct my times I'm sure.

[FireDancer]

I have a question that I figured all you DCL veterans can help me with. I am going to be flying into Orlando on Saturday May 9th and will have a rental car from Budget. I was looking at ways to get to the port and came up with 3 options.

I could return the car to Orlando Airport and take DCL transportation to the port from the airport.

I could return the car to Melbourne airport and just take a taxi to the port. It is about 30 miles.

I could return the car to the Cape Canaveral office of Budget and take the taxi to the port, it is only about 3 miles. The only reason I would even think about the second option over this one is I’m not sure how easy it will be to get a taxi at this location to the port. Of the 3 options this one is the one that makes the most sense to me.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

You might want to call the Budget Office directly in Cape Canaveral, but they should have a shuttle running from the office to the port. I know that Avis and Hertz do. It will save you time and cab fare.

Thanks in advance for the advice.does Budget not have a shuttle from their location to the port? I believe Hertz does- we are getting the car at MCO, then driving it to the port and dropping it off at hertz and shuttling over to check in for the cruise.

So is anyone going in the parks on Saturday before the cruise? I think we are going to buy just a one day ticket for MK- where's the cheapest deal online for a one day? We have breakfast at Kona already reserved for Sat am before the MK (doing the KTTK tour that am) and Boma for the night before too!

it's never too early to plan, right?

I'm not a huge fan of hurrying to wait. If they don't let people start parking until 10, I am most definitely not going to show up before then. I was thinking of leaving the Dolphin around 9:30. I don't need to be the first one on the ship, I would rather enjoy my vacation than worry about getting up at dawn and rushing at breakneck speed to get to the terminal to wait for it to open to wait to board the ship. I think as long as I get there prior to the DCL transfer buses, I'll be happy.

[FireDancer]

I didn't even think of that, I will call and ask.

We might go grab some yummy bakery stuff at the boardwalk and then head out.

So since we get on the ship so early- what do you guys do since we can't get in the room? just explore the whole ship- eat lunch? Is everything open for lunch? it's our first DCL cruise, so I am sure we have a lot of exploring to do!

[exwdwcm]

I didn't even think of that, I will call and ask.

I believe most locations at Cape Canaveral offer a shuttle since so many folks drop off there and then need to go to the port. I looked up the Hertz location online and ensured they have a shuttle. I bet Budget does and then you don't have to worry about a taxi. :goodvibes :woohoo:

If you need to make any Spa reservation or make adjustments to you dinning time, do it as soon as you board the ship. The CM will direct you where to go. Once on board, we typically head to lunch. I am not sure what will be available on the Wonder for lunch. I am certain the buffet will be and perhaps on of the dinning rooms (Parrot Cay?). If you are travelling with kids, either have them wear their swim suits or bring then in your carryon. It's a great time to use the pools. This is also a great time to explore the ship.

[dpuck1998]

If you plan to arrive before the ship opens, be sure to bring something to read, activities for the kids and maybe even snacks! A cafe with specialty coffees, basic pastries and limited snacks opens at 11 a.m. There is a seating area with a television showing Disney clips.


From some research.

If I remember 10am was when the parking lot opened?? I'm still digging for that info!

That seems to be what I can recall from cruising the cruise board.

[dpuck1998]

Port opens at 10:00. Inner parking lot where you would drop your luggage curbside opens at 10:00. Outer parking lot where they make you wait until they let you in the inner lot opens around 9:30 or even earlier.

You can check in as soon as you arrive (if at 10:00 or later). Boarding starts anytime after 11:45 or so, so technically you can be onboard as early as about 12:00 if the ship is ready on time. There is no set time for each boarding number. As soon as one bunch of people are boarded from a boarding number then they call the next number.

Just ask on the cruise thread, they were quick :)

[DVCsince02]

Before this thread gets crazy with mad posting...:rolleyes1 ... I just wanted to remind everyone that there will be an unofficial pre-cruise meet at the Poly Beach beginning an hour before Wishes. Grab a Dole Whip, or other favorite beverage and join us to say hello. We'll watch Wishes and the Water Parade and if anyone is still up for some fun, the party will be moving to Jelly Rolls at the Boardwalk.

The time will be announced after the park hours are released.

Looking forward to screaming with you and hugging hello!:laughing:

oh and yes, we will try and be over for the meet most likely, unless they just decide they want to stay in the MK (my parents and cousin- leaving my son and DH at home!!! lol)

Same here - it's just DH and I so there really is no reason for us to hurry and we'd rather not just wait around in the terminal. We'll probably leave the Dolphin around the same time.

Have a great time Tracy! You will be missed and you will come back to probably 100 pages.....:lmao:

so here's another cruise related question- what time are most folks planning to leave the Dolphin/Orlando for the port (if you have a car)? 10am? 9am? Is there a caravan?

I usually don't disclose this information. I have been to the port as early as 7:30 am and wait outside for the doors to open. The rental companies will drop you off that early, so will town cars. You cannot get into the building until 10:00 am. Check in doesn't begin until 10:30 am.

I have a question that I figured all you DCL veterans can help me with. I am going to be flying into Orlando on Saturday May 9th and will have a rental car from Budget. I was looking at ways to get to the port and came up with 3 options.

I could return the car to Orlando Airport and take DCL transportation to the port from the airport.

I could return the car to Melbourne airport and just take a taxi to the port. It is about 30 miles.

I could return the car to the Cape Canaveral office of Budget and take the taxi to the port, it is only about 3 miles. The only reason I would even think about the second option over this one is I’m not sure how easy it will be to get a taxi at this location to the port. Of the 3 options this one is the one that makes the most sense to me.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Budget does have a shuttle to the port. Didn't I say this before?

If you need to make any Spa reservation or make adjustments to you dinning time, do it as soon as you board the ship. The CM will direct you where to go. Once on board, we typically head to lunch. I am not sure what will be available on the Wonder for lunch. I am certain the buffet will be and perhaps on of the dinning rooms (Parrot Cay?). If you are travelling with kids, either have them wear their swim suits or bring then in your carryon. It's a great time to use the pools. This is also a great time to explore the ship.

Pools, explore, lunch, drinks, lunch... The time goes quickly and rooms are ready approximately 1 or 1:30.

Port opens at 10:00. Inner parking lot where you would drop your luggage curbside opens at 10:00. Outer parking lot where they make you wait until they let you in the inner lot opens around 9:30 or even earlier.

You can check in as soon as you arrive (if at 10:00 or later). Boarding starts anytime after 11:45 or so, so technically you can be onboard as early as about 12:00 if the ship is ready on time. There is no set time for each boarding number. As soon as one bunch of people are boarded from a boarding number then they call the next number.

Just ask on the cruise thread, they were quick :)

Technically, boarding doesn't officially begin until 1:00 pm, however, when the ship is ready, they start boarding.

Taking lessons from Tracy?

Hey!!!

[dpuck1998]

We are going home on Thursday too. Spending 12 days in WDW in June (including the 2nd cruise).

You poor thing :)

[dpuck1998]

I usually don't disclose this information. I have been to the port as early as 7:30 am and wait outside for the doors to open. The rental companies will drop you off that early, so will town cars. You cannot get into the building until 10:00 am. Check in doesn't begin until 10:30 am.

Crud...that means she'll be able to pick us out in a line up...:scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

[winotracy]

Ha, ha! We had a bit of stressful travel, but got here on time. We didn't get to bed Tuesday until 11pm (very late for me) but had to get up at 4am to get to the airport. I tried to pay for something before we left but couldn't and didn't think anything of it. When we arrived in Orlando, I went to get the car and my credit card was declined. I figured it was just the agency. Luckily I had an additional credit card with me. When we got to OKW, I tried again with the card and it was declined. I called the credit card company and they said there was a breach of security or something like that and they needed to close the account. Today we'll be getting an overnight package from Chase. What a way to start vacation, er, I mean quality control.

Word of advice - before you go away for a vacation that will take out of the country, call your credit card company and let them know, they'll put a note on your card so they don't close it down for an "unauthorized charge". Bring a second card with you to use just in case of an emergency.

Good question. I will try to book a Palo dinner...wanna join us?
I will be booking some sort of "excursion" on castway cay, maybe
a jet ski or something.

Haven't decided what to do in the Bahamas, I would like to just go to
someone unique for lunch or something.

Those sound really good. :goodvibes Because we are first time cruisers, I don't think we are going to book anything extra. We had planned on doing the Palo brunch and Atlantis but after the cruise podcast I think we'll just wait and see what they have planned. :goodvibes

I know you weren't asking me, but I'm throwing my two cents in, too. As a first timer I also have to wait until 75 days before I can try to book anything.
•Onboard-I don't think I'm even going to try to book Palo. The gang has that nice brunch set up for us, and I would like to experience the whole dining rotation and pirate night. We aren't spa people, so yeah.
•Cataway Cay-I've been looking at the jetski excursion that Regina took (the one about fish poop) and that sounds fun. Jetski alot around here (in the big lakes) and would love to do it in the ocean. Also looked at the parasailing. I hate heights, but think I would be okay with it. And imagine the pictures!!!
•Nassau-I don't gamble (very well), so no casino. Waterpark, meh. Maybe get off the boat long enough to say I was there, {Can you get a stamp on your passport?} So that sounds like a relax and enjoy the ship & fellow DISer day.

On my past two trips, my Passport was never stamped for entry into the Bahamas once we arrive at CC. The closest thing you'll see to a stamp are the ones you can buy at the CC Post Office, right as you get off the ship.

Getting off in Nassau, entirely different story. Most likely, I'll be staying on board.

If memory serves, its not stamped unless you ask for it

I was just in Nassau and I don't remember seeing another remotely like customs getting on or off the ship. There is only a security officer checking to get back to the ship.

I put my Passport in the safe the day I got on and took it out the day we got off.

Honestly I didn't think the people were that bad. Everyone that I told no just went away and left us alone. I didn't think the Straw Market was too bad either. The only thing that was a little hard was we had a stroller and go stuck behind people that were not moving. We were a captive audience.

Well, I just sign up for the Podcast Cruise a couple of days ago and I am sure I will get off the ship.

We just got back from the 3 day, November 23-26. It was really fun, but cold. I figure we will try in May and see if we can swim at Castaway Cay without completely freezing.

My husband was interested when I told him about the Palo brunch not at Palo. We put our son, 4, in the club while we ate at Palo and it did not go well. He just didn't want to go in. He was fine once he got in there, but it was made our dinner less enjoyable. I figure if we can take him to Palo brunch that will be a lot more fun.

I am also very excited from stateroom gifts.

I think so. I missed the meet last year, darn Le Cellier dinner reservations that I had to wake up at 6 am to get. And we went in November this year instead of December so no TSM.

I am not sure yet. We ended up not doing them on my recent cruise. I think I will have to see if we fly Southwest or get stuck with AirTran. Those extra baggage fees kill me.

What do people bring for gifts?
