Hi Lorelai71

We're are going too.

Me my DD11 DSIL Newphew 12 & neice 16. We are leaving the husband home this trip.

We are actually arriving Tuesday, & going to the parks first. Then we are off to the Raddison the night before.

Who is going with you & what are your plans. Is this your first trip?

Lorelai71 Most of NJ schools will be closed, this week, & I am sure, that you will run into many fellow NJ cruisers.

What are you plans, & do you have any children?

Hi Pat,
Cool!

my cast: me-33; mother-53; brother-25

This is our first cruise ever and I am foaming at the mouth because it will be a surprise trip for my mother.

We have never been to WDW either. In fact we are planning to go to the World from Aug 11-20. My DM and DB know about the WDW trip but they don't know that I am booking a cruise as well.

It is killing me to keep it a secret but I know they will appreciate it so much.

Right now I have a room on hold: 2076-cat 9 and from what I have read on these boards it is best to arrive the day before so I plan on getting there on wed. Unfortunately, I am a teacher so I won't be able to leave until school lets out which means and early evening flight.

I have no clue where to stay. I would prefer to stay in a hotel at the port than at the airport. I am looking for the cheapest hotel because by the time we get there all we will want to do is get some sleep so we can start Thursday with lots of energy.

Do you know of any hotels around the port?

p.s. there is another person from this board who is also sailing screen name: ak1372 .

How many cruises have you been on?

 

[PURTYPAT1]

WHAT A GREAT SUPRISE. ACTUALLY THIS IS MY SECOND TRIP. WE WENT LAST YEAR FOR NJ TEACHERS CONVENTION. AGAIN, IT SEEMED LIKE ALL OF NJ WERE ON THE BOAT.

I THINK YOUR ROOM IS A GREAT CHOICE. IT IS MID SHIP CLOSE TO THE ELEVATORS. GREAT CHOICE IN ROOM. 2ND FLOOR IS EASY TO GET ON & OFF THE BOAT, & TO GET AROUND.

I THINK YOU SHOULD RESERVE YOUR ROOM ASAP. I HAVE MINE AT THE RADDISON RESERVED. WITH AA DISCOUNT I GOT IT FOR 110.00 PER NIGHT.

THE REASON I CHOOSE THIS HOTEL IS THAT THEY DON'T CHARGE FOR LEAVING YOUR RENT A CAR (A SAVINGS OF 40.00) PORT CHARGES 10.00 A DAY FOR PARKING. ALSO, THE RADDISON HAS FREE ROUND TRIP SHUTTLE TO & BACK TO THE PORT.

HAVE YOU RESERVED YOUR RENT A CAR AS OF YET? DO THAT ASAP.

Hi Pat,
Bear with me because I have so many questions. I only wished NJ convention could be longer

Glad to hear we got a great room. I wasn't planning on renting a car because I figured we are getting there late Wed night probably around 10pm and then we go straight to the port on Thursday. Then on Sunday, I have to get the earliest flight back- I was thinking around 12noon because I have to go to work on Monday and I know I will need lots of sleep Sunday night. What are your thoughts on this?

Also, when we got to WDW in August we plan on using Disney transport. I want to just be able to relax and not worry about driving so we figured Disney transport would suffice. We plan to stay at CBR- I know it's a large resort but my brother really wants to stay there so....there we will stay.

I have the regular passporter and plan to get the passporter for the cruise line. I got Birm for WDW and for the cruise line and the unofficial guide for WDW. Plus I have been attached to these boards.

It is official, I am a Disney addict and I haven't gotten there yet!

Thanks for the tip on the raddison, I have AAA so I will check them out.

 

[PURTYPAT1]

HI Lorelai71

If you are flying in late Wed night, I would stay at the airport. Try priceline, for a good price.

There is the Hyatt which is high priced, but very convient since it is at the airport. The Marriott which has free shuttle only about 10 min. from the airport. The next morning you come back & meet your Disney bus. Perfect.

You don't really need the rent a car then. Good for you guys.

Are you going to Epcot? That is my favorite, and you being a teacher, I think this will be yours also. Actually all the parks are great.

My DSIL & myself, will be at the adult on pool, so I am sure we will see you at the pool.

Let me know, if you have any more questions. I am becoming an ole pro at this. LOL

 

[Lorelai71]

Hi Pat,
Thanks I will check out priceline. I also just pre-ordered the Passporter for Disney Cruises.

I was wondering if we should do the Disney bus or a town car. I am hoping the passporter might have a suggestion about this. What do you think?

From reading the guide books I figured I would love Epcot the most. I plan on visiting there on Saturday. I want to do Magic Kingdom on Friday (our full first day).

I am sure we will be at the adult pool. I can't wait!

 

[PURTYPAT1]

Hi Lori,

How Is Your Plans Coming Along? Did You Get Your Passporter As Of Yet?

Did You Get A Quote From "happy Limo" They Are Great.

These Boards Are Great.

 

[Paticake]

We're on that cruise too! Me, husband, son and daughter in law. We are staying at the Radisson the night before also. On the 10th we're heading over to BWV for 4 days and to meet our daughter and son in law. Both weddings happen this summer so we are really looking forward to our cruise.

 

[Lorelai71]

Hi PurtyPat 1,

I am still waiting for my Passporter. I haven't called Happy Limo yet. I have been trying to figure out our WDW vacation.

Yeah, these boards are awesome!


Hi Paticake,
Welcome, welcome. I still can't decide where to stay the night before the cruise.

I know we will have a great time on this cruise.

 

[Otto's Doll]

Hi all, we will be cruising with you. My DH, me, DS 12 and DD 10. We are cruising with friends who will be traveling with their DD11. Really looking forward to it, it is our first cruise (their 3rd, I believe). We will be staying at Shades of Green from 11-5 to 11-10, and then off on the cruise. We are flying back to PA on the 13th. Hope to see you all there!

Hi Otto's Doll,
Great!!!! This is our first cruise also. I wish I could get off the whole week and spend some time at WDW before the cruise but can't

Will you be flying out of the Philly airport? We will be returning on the 13th also.

I can hardly wait for November

Hi Patricia,
We are staying at Shades of Green on Walt Disney World. It is the former Disney Inn, and is for military & DOD. It is right next to the Poly. We are really looking forward to the cruise. We will be coming down on the 4th or 5th, and going to the parks for a few days first. I think we will be going to MK, Epcot and possibly one of the water parks while we are there. I will be on the lookout for you!

 

[Otto's Doll]

Lorelai, we are going to be flying out of Stewart Airport in Newburgh, NY or out of one of the NYC airports, as they are closer to us than Philly.

See you on the boat!

 

[pewing]

Bumping b/c we are booked on this cruise too

We are planning on driving down (from Alabama) the day before. Haven't decided for sure where to stay...

 

[PURTYPAT1]

Hi Pewing,

Welcome!!!!!!

If You Are Planing On Spending About 60.00 On A Hotel The Night Before, You Might Want To Try The Raddison, For It Is Free Parking For The Cruise & Free Shuttle To The Port. (it Will Cost You 40.00 At The Port) I Know If You Keep Looking, They Have Specials.

Who Are You Traveling With?

I Will Be With My Dd 11, And My Nephew Who Is 12 & Neice Who Is 16
And My Dsil

Is This Your First Cruise?

Cast: DH, DD 11, DS 9, and myself

This will be our first cruise, second trip as a family to DW in two years. Second trip during NJ week. So looking foward to it!!
We hope to fly into Orlando on Sunday, do the parks S, M, T, W, and drive to the port from DW Thurs. AM. We found a great deal on an Alamo car (129 for 8 days) and figure we will still be ahead of the game if we park it at the terminal during the cruise, and drive it back to the airport when we disembark.

We still haven't booked airfare yet and that is driving me CRAZY!! I have been checking Southwests scheldule daily waiting for it to open up for our dates.

Looks like some kids on these boards my DD age but none my DS age. Will keep watching this thread.

Peace.
