Hi Marianne,

We're in exactly the same boat. Our flight arrives at 8 pm so by the time we get our luggage and rent a car we will have missed all the activities at the Radisson or RJ. We're just resigned to meeting everyone for the first time at the terminal or sailaway party. We actually have a ressie for the Hyatt MCO but it's way more than I want to spend and will probably switch it if there's another airport hotel that some others are staying at. If it's just the 2 of us, I'm going to purchase the Disney transfers and try to get on the first bus out. If we team up with other people it might make more sense to hire a limo or town car and pool the expense. If other people are staying near the airport, please tell me where. We can always meet that evening in the lounge and have a mini-meet of our own.
Arlene: I know you were undecided as to where you were staying until you got your flights arranged. Any updates on that situation?
Kim/Bette: you're still listed at staying at the MCO, but I think that's no longer true. Please confirm....

I'm considering staying at the Hyatt or thereabouts, I'm going to risk the Priceline booking, since we'll be arriving fairly late ourselves. Let me know if you want to share a ride to the port on Sat am. It's thre of us, so it will probably work out cheaper for all if we can "carpool".

ciadrimom...just be sure that if you ride to the airport with marianne (zapp1213), leave your axes behind in New Jersey because Tom might get a little squishmish and refuse to get into the car with you. Guess you'll never live this one down, Tom!! (An inside joke for Marianne and Tom)!!! Mary Jo

P.S. Forgot to ask...how was graduation??

Gee, so I won't be the only Brewers fan on the cruise!!! I was born in Milwaukee. It is hard to follow them from New York, but they are doing pretty good this year. At least relative to the past.

Hey.....anyone can root for the Yankees......It takes a REAL LOYAL AND DEDICATED FAN to root for the Milwaukee Brewers!!!

Well, there's four of us. What could we rent that could accommodate seven & all our luggage?

(Don't listen to Sarah'sMomfromPA. She's from Scranton.)

Anyone can root for the Yankees, Steinbrenner has the $$ to buy the fans. But you're right. You've got to be true blue, sick in the head to continually root for the Brewers! I love that new Miller Park, tho. Roof opens & closes at will. Awesome!

So you guys haven't made my hotel decision any easier. Radisson quoted me $85 for the night. And I can't find a website for Ron Jon's hotel. Just a surf shop????

Radisson or Ron Jon's...it will NOT matter, because the party will be at Grills!

Thursday night with no survivor

Eric, thanks for the link! I often use a symbol when I do patient charting. The symbol is: º and it means "hour". Since we have gone to all computer charting I had to give up º , and now I have it back!

 

[Zapp1213]

I just checked my profile, and discovered that I can now change my custom text under my name! Finally!

Unfortunately, now I don't know what I want to put there!!!

Isn't that silly??

Marianne,
we had a van last time for eight people and it was very comfy. It also easily 'swallowed' all our luggage, although Anja and I travelled with four large bags/suitcases. The cost was $160&tip. All the van/limo-services have coupons on the web, granting you a rebate. We went with tiffanytowncars the last three times and were always happy campers.

You'e welcome, Mary
You can also use that sign plus a lower case 'o' to create a Mickey: °o°

Eric-- Your ASCII table is different than what I use--Your é is number 130, my é is number 0233. My computer has a program called "charmap" that shows all the characters available with each font. I have a shortcut on my start menu. I use it all the time.

I like how Pétér uses it. Maybe Mariaññe? Kind of cute.

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Hey Marianne...I like the look of the new name--gives it a latin flavor!! My email address at work has changed so I will either email you or pm you so you have it for July!!

Boy--where is everyone today?? Thank God it is Friday!! And pay day! Drizzling here today but the weekend is supposed to be great. Mary Jo

 

[cdnmickeylover]

We are all waiting for 5pm to go home!!

Am so glad that it's Friday and Monday we are off. Yeah (even if the weather forecast is rain all weekend).

Back to work so I can actually leave at 5pm.

We already have 6pm But I left my office at 3:11pm and was out of the gym at 5:15 after running 7 miles. Then we did our grocery shopping. Unfortunately Anja has to work Saturday and Sunday, and I volunteer at our ambulance station to teach a First-Aid-Course. But we don't mind as the weather can only be described by words not admissable by the posting rules

Marianne and Sharon:
yes, we would be more than happy to share a ride with you guys.
It seems like it will be 5 adults and 4 kids so we should fit very comfortably. Besides, we can make all the Radisson and Ron Jon people jealous when we pull up to the port in our swanky limo.
My only request is that we get there early as I will be doing the ressie scramble and want to get a good position in line. I notice we all have late dining so we'll be able to return to the airport at approx. the same time (we ARE all going back to the airport, right?) I've also used Tiffany Town Cars to get to WDW and was very pleased with them. I will check to see what the current rate is and as Eric said, they always have a coupon offer. Whatever hotel you decide to stay at is fine with me as long as there's a free shuttle from MCO. I believe Arlene and Andy will also be staying near the airport. Maybe we can fit 11 and turn it into a real party! Forgive me if I've forgotten, but have either of you done DCL before?
And tell MaryJo not to be concerned about axes. A New Jersey girl's best weapons are her looong nails and whatever she can hide in her high hair! (Am I the only one who gets nostalgic at the opening credits of the Sopranos?)

 

[Viking]

11 will be a very tight fit in a van - Really!!!

 

[Viking]

I just checked Tiffany's and they want $210+ min 20% tip for the roundtrip MCO-Port. Quite a raise compared with last years rates
