[bonzie1]

Tammie...here is picture of my 2 D&B purses....they are my pride and joy....my coworkers laughed at me at lunch today when it started raining when we were walking back to the office...I started running to the office because I didn't want my sketch purse to get wet....LOL

I will have to take a look at home!!! Can't wait to see these. I'm hoping to get a DCL version in January... we will see...

Hi

I'm Kathy traveling with my brother Frank (Mohrt2) and we will be joining you on the Repo cruise. We are new to this thread but not to the DIS. We are doing a Western on the Magic in a little over 2 weeks, so we've been concentrating on that thread for awhile.

We were able to score a 1 bedroom at the Grand Californian for 4/24-27 We would love to hook up with other DISers at Disneyland and would also be interested in chipping in for transportation from DL to the port. I believe I saw an entry about this further back on this thread - someone was talking about renting a bus.

We would also like to get added to the roster so we are "officially" part of the group. Can someone tell me who is taking care of this these days? Thanks in advance

Hey all!

We're in DL now and we have a question. Would there be any interest in doing a meet and greet/cocktail hour party? If so when? Tuesday evening? Monday evening?

We were chatting with the peeps at Catal last night and they have an area on the second floor with a balcony that overlooks DTD. We were thinking a couple of hours with some munchies. Just a come and go kind of thing.

If there's interest we'll pursue it, if not then we'll forget it.

Wanted to stop by and say hey to everyone I'm still on this cruise, just don't have time to post on it, got two other threads posting so I just read and follow this thread and post from time to time.

Hope everyone is doing well

That would be me about the bus ... I think they are going to post something on the first page about this ... Need a commitment before I arrange it. Watch the first post for further info!

Sounds like fun ... I would be interested. Still working out our pre-cruise arrangements. I wish the weekend before wasn't Easter. It's going to be crowded on Saturday and Sunday!

Hi Kathy! Welcome! I am also on the same WC cruise as you in two weeks, so will hopefully meet up with you and your brother I am cruising on this repo as well as the 1st cruise to Alaska

We would be very interested in the bus and would have no problem committing. We have to get there one way or another and it would be fun to travel with a group. I'll keep an eye out on the first page for details

I agree about Easter - I can't believe that it's so late next year. Because of that, we won't be arriving until Sunday night. Monday is my birthday and I'm hoping to have dinner at the Napa Rose. So I would prefer Tuesday evening. We'll keep an eye out for this as well.

Hey...LOOK....it's my roommate!

I just did a 'one sheet' on my upcoming cruises with the amounts due on them, and I owe $2200....for 22 days of cruising! If I don't THINK about the deposits/payments I've already made (and, hey, that money is gone on to it's new home at DCL, not like it's mine anymore) then I feel like I'm getting a good deal of only $100 per day! How's that for a gross rationalization? Let's see that's 110 lunch hours I have to work over the next year...I can do that!

Welcome Kathy from NJ! It's nice to have you here!
Lori, I don't think we will do a DL meet, as we're staying with Jim's family, and he wouldn't feel good about leaving them, getting a ride, etc.

Hi Marla! Thanks for checking in!

Jackie, I love your Disney Math!

We are still interested in the bus, too!

We're heading out to our Western cruise on RCCL one week from today I'll have to start getting serious about planning this one next, although we have 3 more trips to take before we do this one!

We're thinking of a RCCL cruise next.....although it's a one-sided us at the moment!

I'm a Disney snob.

Me too I've only been on one RCCL cruise. Everything seemed really crowded and their port calls were really short. Plus Mickey and Minnie and Goofy and Donald are nowhere to be found. But I have friends who LOVE it. To each his/her own

We also liked Princess and we did a fabulous NCL cruise in Hawaii last year, but unless you an afford a suite, the rooms so much smaller than Disney

Yo Ho!

Hi Everyone!

Where did the weekend go?

UPDATE on the Bus transportation from DL to the port... added to first page too.

Thank You MJGirl​

MJGirl has looked into a charter to the port.. getting us there around 10-10:30 am. Please send her a PM if you are interested. She needs a commitment of 40 people to make this a reality.

I am not sure of the details to date and will defer to her. For example... will the bus be making multiple stops to all of the Disney Hotels, or it we will need to get our luggage to one place for pick up. The more stops the earlier the first pick up, and more details, etc.

Disney will be offering transfers at a cost of $30 per person. I do not know what time their pick up will be.

I know, I've been a little nervous about whether we will like it as well. I earned this one through my company, so that's a good thing! I was more excited about this DCL repo than the Western on RCCL for a long time!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

A big Thank you to MJGirl for taking on the bus planning! PM is coming!

BUS UPDATE FROM MJGirl:

She's gotten some PMs and has asked the bus company to supply more information regarding driver, insurance, payment method, cost, etc. She will let us know what they say. So far there are 13 or 15 responses. We need about 40 people.

Keep those PMs coming!

THANKS MJ!!!
