1st time land/sea Sept. 2004 Help!:)

[disneyluvrswife]

Hello!
My husband and I are going on the land/sea cruise and have a few quick quest for anyone who knows:

1) We are going to book our own ground transport. It seems ppl on DIS recomm. FL tours.Are they the best out there? Also.what time shall we get picked up on day of heading to the port? We are staying at the Port Orleans French Qtrs Resort. We want to get there early but dont want to be bored at the terminal either..if there is such a thing

2)Any tips/ideas on what to do with last day..We hear cruise ends early in am like at 9am. Our flight out back west isnt until 4pm. How should we kill time?

3) It will be our 3rd wedding anniv. The romance package is a bit cheesy and pricey..any other ideas ppl have done --restaurants, etc that disney has that doesnt get advertised much?

Thanks!
Anita

I can't help with the transportation ??? you might want to post something on the Transportation Board.

The cruise disembarks very early - you would have time to check out Kennedy Space Center - go to Church Street Station - Go to Belz Outlets.

3) It will be our 3rd wedding anniv. The romance package is a bit cheesy and pricey..any other ideas ppl have done --restaurants, etc that disney has that doesnt get advertised much?

When you get on the ship - make a reservation at Palo's - it is the adult only restaurant on board the ship. How about His/Her massages either on the ship or at one of the spas at WDW?

Hope you have a great vacation.
