Cable Car: If you want to take a cable car, let me suggest doing so northbound. The waits southbound can be much longer, so I like to use the F line streetcar in that direction. Additionally, from the F line's Stockton stop you can get bus 39 which will take you to Coit Tower for a nice view of this part of the city.

Bicycle Riding: There are several bicycle rental firms near Fisherman's Wharf. Rent a bike, and ride 10 miles or so to Sausalito, enjoy a little time in that charming town, then take a ferry back to San Fran. It looks like a fun ride, the ferry ride is beautiful, Sausalito is a great town to visit, and riding across the Golden Gate Bridge is probably a unique experience.

[mickeyfan1]

We decided to try for this cruise when the booking window opens!!! Anyone else?

Just the thought of bringing the WONDER into Alaska for the first time is exciting!!!

Actually, that is the repositioning cruise from CA to Vancouver. The 6 night cruise. The first sailing from Vancouver to Alaska and back is on May 3rd.

Just incase you really want to see Alaska, you don't want to be on the 4/27 cuise!

Oooops! You are right! I meant to say on the way to Alaska! We are hoping to do B2B cruises, taking the Wonder to Vancouver and then on to Alaska!

 

[mickeyfan1]

That's better. See you on the repo!

 

[BobandLee]

But you are always welcome here too Georgie>>>>http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2282276
The thread I started for the First Alaskan Cruise

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

Bringing the Wonder to Canada? As Canadians and Disney Cruise Lovers, my wife (LuvBaloo) just have to be on this cruise.

We are also hoping to do the B2B and take her on up to Alaska on May 3rd as well.

Bringing Wonder to Canada! Gotta love it!

 

[Tink rules]

Ken...

I'll follow you and the gals anywhere!!!

 

[LuvBaloo]

I want to bring the ship to Canada!

 

[Tink rules]

Ohhh you Canadians!!!!

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

We're with ya Georgie!!! Hopefully! Im already getting nervous for booking day!

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

Ken...

I'll follow you and the gals anywhere!!!

Anywhere, eh????

 

[BobandLee]

On one hand, Georgie is booking this cruise.
On the other, Les is booking this cruise.

What to do?

 

[mickeyfan1]

Did y'all hear, $600.00 per person deposit for this and all AK cruises?

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

Did y'all hear, $600.00 per person deposit for this and all AK cruises?

WOW.... guess that will weed out those who aren't really serious....
If the deposit is $600pp..... man, what are the prices going to be ???

I've been doing some research of other lines with similar itinerary... early May being the least expensive time on most other lines.... but I have a feeling Disney is not going to be that way. At a starting point of $939 for a Cat 12.... that's already almost double what other lines charge for an inside room at that time of year. And it doesn't include Glacier Bay!

 

[DMMarla07860]

my dad and I are going to try and book this cruise and my dad did mention a b2b doing the first alaska cruise, so maybe that as well

 

[Tink rules]

Anywhere, eh????

You know me Ken...



So I guess this means for the 2 cruises... I need $2400 to book...

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

IF it is $600 per person, then we may have to rethink this whole thing through. That's going to $4800 outlay right off the bat and it isn't the best of time for us to shell out that kind of $$

 

[Tink rules]

Ken...

I'd book for just you and Shannon and then add the girls later...

I highly doubt that either of these 2 cruises will be sold out... school's still in session and unlike the PC repo... they can do Alaska anytime during the summer...

 

[bonzie1]

I sent a letter to DVC about points... along with the REST of the world, but no response yet.

Does anyone know if I can change the title to the thread to include REPO somehow. I agree the title is confusing! HELP!!!

$600 pp per cruise to book???

Advanced PIXIE Dust for the booking on Monday!!!

Perhaps if you edit your first post you could change the title? Just a wild guess ...
