There is no cost involved, this will be one of the 'gifts' that we will give away. Kevin, Cyndi (PIT), Tina and I will give these away. Everyone on the roster (to come later) as well as every family member traveling with them will receive one. This is a great way to remember names and it helps identify other disboard members. If anyone wants to donate to help get them, that is welcomed but not nessecery (sp?) Just PM me (Kborn) or Cyndi (PIT)....Grandma4ever said:
If this group is anything like our last cruise group, you will be amazed at what other 'gifts' will show up. I also see where you have been visiting next weeks cruise meet thread. I know Captcrash is going with you, he was on our last cruise and he will give out plenty of info. I know he told you about the fish extenders...my wife made ours for our last trip, and she may use it again. But she had so much fun making it, she may make another for this cruise. The first fish extender is hanging in our son's room.Grandma4ever said:
There is never a cost for anything this disgroup will do, we do not want to turn anyone off from attending any meet. The only cost involved is up to you, that is your choice. Some people give gifts for fish extenders, on our last cruise, I went to the locale Disney Store and purchased all the clearence items. I told the manager what I was doing and she gave me another discount on top of the price marked. I also bought pirate coins at the locale party store, $2.99 for about 50 coins, and a 5 lb bag of candy for $4.99. The gifts are not big, but the kids love them.Grandma4ever said:
Things should pick up around Thanksgiving and Christmas 
Cyndi, is it snowing yet, I know there was a freak snow storm in Buffalo last week. I know how ya'll hate the driving conditions when it starts snowing in the Mtn. passes. Drive safe....Talk to everyone later.
Glad you 2 R OK....you need to ask for a transfer, like Jacksonville FLA to say LA. That way you can stay in the southern statesPrettyInTink said:Hello everyone! Whew! We got stuck in Ft Bridger, Wyoming (Re: Middle of nowhere) by a FREAK snow storm. Ice and snow, other trucks in ditches EVERYWHERE! They closed I-80 in the WHOLE STATE OF WYOMING. Insane weather for this time of year. I hope this isn't a view into what winter will be like. This, my friends, is why I cruise
Come on, you lurkers! Come out and play with us! KBorn (Keith) and I are patiently waiting for more people to converse with. Don't worry! We don't bite! Not hard anyway........

I look forward to more ideas for us all to meet on the cruise! These boards are great. My DH thinks I'm nuts with all the research I have done already. He is keeping mum however because I did the same for our WDW trip in 2003 and we had a great week! 
The Radison is a nice place and I think they have suttle that will bring you to the dock...we have stayed at the Best Western as well. The last couple of cruises, we stayed on Disney property and drove to the port that next day. It is only about 50 min. away plus you get a jump start on the Disney experince. Just going to downtown Disney is fun. Plus you should get better rates at one of the value resorts than anything close to the port. We paid $69.00 at the Pop Century. We also have a meet and greet planned at Saratoga Springs resort, that will be a great way to meet a few other 'disers' before we leave....tamim said:Wow you guys get organized FAST!
We are flying into Florida on the Friday and probably going to rent a car and stay in Cape Canaveral or Cocoa Beach. Any suggestions on best place to stay? and best rental company to use?
BTW, we are not NUTS either, but we do act that way about cruising!tamim said:Wow you guys get organized FAST!

We always stay on park, but I hear the Radisson at port is very nice. We do move fast, having just got off of what I consider my GREATEST vacation ever! We had a lot of inspEARation from that group. Don't worry, My dh KNOWS I am a crazy planner. I'm already planning our 2008 NYC trip. Christmas 2008tamim said:Wow you guys get organized FAST!

I have officially gone insane 
I believe that ANY good vacation needs a little structure to run smoothly. Our first WDW vacation as a family (dh, dd, and ds and I) I had itinerary for everyday written in a notepad we carried around the parks. We saw EVERYthing we wanted to see and had a BLAST! I'm so glad we didn't just wonder around without a plan. Ever since that trip, Kevin puts up with my OCD preplanning with a smile on his face knowing that we will see and do everything we want to see and do.
