    Two-night Wonder cruise to Nowhere May 17, 2014

    There's metered parking on the street in front of the train station and there is a lot adjacent to the station that charges about $13/day. You can usually find a park and fly/cruise lot for about $9/day. But, you are correct, you're within walking distance to the port.

    Two-night Wonder cruise to Nowhere May 17, 2014

    I found this link that might help you, but it really looks like mostly average rated hotels have the snooze and cruise package, aside from The Dana, which is not near downtown/Gaslamp/port. http://www.sandiego.org/articles/cruises/cruise-friendly-hotels-in-san-diego.aspx Personally, I...

    Two-night Wonder cruise to Nowhere May 17, 2014

    Are you referring to the Marriott Seaport Village? I think there are a lot of hotels that are closer to the port that that. I thought it was about 6-8 blocks away from the port? I have nothing against that property, I like it very much, but it's not where I would choose to stay if I were wanting...

    Two-night Wonder cruise to Nowhere May 17, 2014

    I can't think of where it would be. I'm relatively familiar with that area, but I've never cruised out of there so I can't say for sure. If you look on the port's website it gives you some suggested park and cruise locations.

    What hotel did you stay at the night before - Port Canaveral

    We stayed at the Country Inn as well the night before we cruised. It was clean and the owners were extremely friendly. I'd stay there again pre-cruise. We stayed at the Hyatt at MCO the night before we flew home. Our room was lovely and the bed was very comfortable.

    It's called San Diego Airport Parking on Kurtz Rd. It's nothing fancy, just a lot. But I have never had bad service there, they shuttles are frequent and the prices are good.

    Two-night Wonder cruise to Nowhere May 17, 2014

    Hi friend!!!! I need to call our usual car lot and see if they shuttle to the port as well. If so, we'll leave it there, it's the same place we've been using for 10 years. EDIT TO ADD: I just checked their website and they do service the port. We'll be leaving our car there.

    Two-night Wonder cruise to Nowhere May 17, 2014

    There is a Doubletree by Hilton just a few blocks away, it's in the Little Italy district of town. I've never stayed there, but we're having our 20 year reunion there in July. I did tour the property and the rooms were clean and well appointed for a mid range hotel. Parking is in a garage, and...

    There's a lot to choose from near the terminal. What class of accommodations are you looking for?

    December 15, 2012 A Yo-HO-HO-HO Holiday Fantasy!

    Thank you for all of the wonderful FE gifts! Sadly, my FE box never madeira to the ship. It caught up with me just prior to disembarking. FedEx destroyed the box in transit, and when they reboxed it they got the address wrong and failed to write my ship, stateroom and sail date on it. :( But we...

    I'm finalizing my packing. I just need to throw the toiletry bag together after we're all showered and dressed tomorrow. We fly the red eye from LAX tomorrow night. 24 hours from right now we'll be at the airport!

    Castaway Cay 5K First Timer Support Thread

    Are kids allowed to run? I'm seeing people post about their kids joining them. I thought they couldn't....please tell me I'm wrong! My 6.5 year old is a runner and has run several 5ks. He's heartbroken that he cannot join mom on the cc5k.

    December 15, 2012 A Yo-HO-HO-HO Holiday Fantasy!

    Ours were simple. For the kids, I got mini stockings and stuffed them with mostly store bought, gender appropriate goodies. I did put something handmade in the girls'. For the adults I bought plastic bags with holiday print on them and put store bought goodies inside. I'm working on one very...

    I know, I know. It's actually not that cold here in Southern California. The fireplace was mostly for ambiance as we were out there without even sweatshirts on. It did warm up the patio though! As soon as it dips into the 50's we start taking advantage of the fireplaces in the house since they...

    Good morning cruise buddies! I almost fainted when I looked at my countdown and it said 10 days! Eek! I sat outside by the fireplace last night with a bottle of wine and worked on assembling my FE's. I've got the kids' done and the adults are almost done. I still have to make one item, but...

    Christmas lights for the door are on my list of things to buy tomorrow. Other than that, just door magnets. Off topic- Does anyone know off hand if the doors at the resorts are metal as well? I was wondering if any of our door magnets would work at Bay Lake Tower.

    Us too! We arrive Friday morning before the cruise. Thank you for this post! I will most likely come, but I doubt the hubs and the boys will. I would like to put some faces to names. OK, off to catch up on the last five pages.
