11/13/04 Eastern Cruise only We Did It

[DOOGIERUNNER]

Hi,

We're going the week after you folks on the western! We've done the eastern twice. If your looking for excursions, last summer we chartered a cigarette boat on St Martin and spent the day over in Anguilla. It was the best excursion we've ever been on. Aguilla is private, very seculuded and had the whitest beaches I'd ever seen. If you want more info, send me a PM or visit www.offshoresunsations.com.

I just got an e-mail from Disney about discount room rates through the fall. It is valid though the middle of December.
Of course the THREE nights that are blacked out of the deal... Are the THREE nights that we are going to be there!
Typical!

Oh well, I am just not meant to save money!!

Athene, I just sent you a PM on this - I haven't seen any fall rates yet! I'm going to WDW for a few days in mid-Oct w/ DM. She has some left-over park hoppers that have been burning a hole in her pocket since our trip last spring!

Athene - read it again, we will be there from 11/20 right? If so, here is what mine says....

Offers valid most nights 8/29-12/19/04, but not valid at all from 10/17-10/20/04, 11/10-11/13/04 and 11/23-11/27/04. Number of rooms available at these rates is limited. Tax not included.

So, it IS valid from 11/20-11/23... check your dates... see if they work!!!

I wonder why November 10 - 13. We are going to be there on the 11th and 12th. We got a deal through a friend though. Just wondering if something is going on that might make it busier than expected.

IT'S ABOUT TIME!! TALK ABOUT PROCRASTINATING..SHEEESH

We've been buying stuff and putting it aside in suitcases since December of 03'

 

[feenie]

we are going the three days before the cruise....
Which will be great!! (Just not discounted! )
I think the reason for the black out is the super soap weekend....
The funny thing is, is that the rooms aren't any MORE expensive for that time period than the pre-discount price.

We just got back from seeing Jars of Clay preform at our local fair. It was awesome! I guess they finally realized that not everyone in New Hampshire want to line dance!

Hi Y'all,
I just read the best trip report ever! Hilarious and quite detailed. It took me a good two hours, but I saved it to my "favorites" so I could break it up.

Anyway, if you have the time and the inclination, I think you'll enjoy this western report: http://www.passporterboards.com/ubb...09065&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=14&fpart=1

November 11 is Veteran's Day....perhaps that in combination with Jersey week and Super Soap Weekend...is why they are not discounting those dates.

Feenie, where are you staying? We will be there before the cruise as well.

PoohJen, thank you for the link. I am going to print it out and read it on the plane to North Carolina on Monday. The flight will go by so much faster.

Susan, we have been shopping since last year as well!!! At least I know that I am not the only obsessed person here!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

 

[disneydreamer1970]

OMG!!!

Look at my counter!! Tomorrow I will be doing the double digit dance to my Magical Disney Vacation!!!!

Woo-Hoo!!!!

:thewave:

 

[feenie]

we are staying at the Pop Century.
I never bothered to change my countdown timer, but if I had It would read Double Digits tomorrow too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Remembrance Day for me but not everyone gets the day off. Does everyone get Veteran's Day off? I get it off because I work for a bank. It's basically banks and government that get it off. When I was a kid, I think we had a day off of school but not by the time I hit high school.

I have no idea what Jersey week is. I knew about Super Soap Weekend but I'm checking out early Saturday morning (gotta get to the port...gotta get to the port!!) so I'll be "missing" all of that.

I am too! It doesn't make it double digits for me though. I purposely made my counter go to the cruise itself. I subtract the two days in my head for the actual vacation.

Have you ever stayed at Pop Century before? (I can't see your signature now that I'm typing this so if it says you have...I'm not dumb!) It's my first time. I have stayed at the All Stars several times (but never Movies) but I wanted to see what Pop Century was like (plus there's a bonus that it's a bit cheaper as the All Stars are in the county with higher taxes!).

We have two one-day hoppers left from the days I worked for Disney and four "plus" entrances from our Park Hopper Plus passes from September (we were too tired on that trip to ever make it to Pleasure Island) so we're doing Pleasure Island on the Thursday and Magic Kingdom on the Friday.

Okay, I'm getting too excited and I have boring cleaning to do!!

And now I just saw the Magic on the Port Canaveral web cam and I'm getting worse!! I think Saturdays are the hardest day...too much time on my hands to think about it and then I can go and see the ship sitting in port.

14 more Saturdays to "suffer" like this and then it's our Saturday!!! I won't be looking longingly at the web cam...I'll be right there, looking at her in person! Okay, now I'm going to cry.
