20050514..May 14, 2005...Official Check in Disney's 1st 14 Day thru Panama Canal Part 2

[rcostello1]

I too have insomnia. Sometimes dog induced; most other times I just can't stay asleep.

Maybe we need another list! Gather the names of those of us who suffer from insomnia, and then figure out a place we can all meet at 2:00 a.m.

Randall

You can meet on deck 4. That way if I've fallen asleep out there again someone can send me to my room . I've been known to do that!

 

[angelaj]

Add me and sister Susan to the list of people in the lifeboat suites. No cabin assignment for us yet . . .

 

[kellib36]

Has anyone else ordered anything from CDockPirates? Have you gotten anything back? I got an email 2-22 that said they recieved my order, but nothing since....even after a followup email.

I may still need to go to Denver to the rental place......I was just trying to avoid a trip to downtown Denver........

Thanks, Kelli

[krdisneybound]

Welcome to the cruise KEN - Do you think they are going to let you on the ship??????
Just kidding

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

Beth...Welcome...Yay...another "LEFT" Coaster!!! Right below ya neighbor We have had unseasonably warm weather as well...we are getting rain now but still not much.

Ken: Welcome aboard

Still in the lifeboat suite here too!!! Oh well...I think the guys at Costco are getting annoyed with me calling all the time....so I think I will just wait and see what my documents say...I heard that they will start printing them the middle of next month!!!!!



Happy St. Patty's Day

 

[UKLes]

We have also booked a transfer from the ship to Disneyland Hotel. Thinking of hiring a car for two days from anaheim for return at the airport leaving it up to Hertz to sort out. We have our stateroom allocation on deck 6. Arriving in the USA on 12th and staying at Beach Club villas.
Not long now, we booked April 04

 

[Q's My Princess]

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Welcome Aboard UKLes, check out Peter's updates, it will lead you the Jeff's master list site.

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

Has anyone found a good deal on transportation from the Port of Los Angeles to Anaheim and then back to LAX? We are considering extending our trip for a couple of days.

AngelaJ was looking into a few things. She is staying at HoJo, We are staying at Paradise Pier after the cruise and then heading home via LAX on 5/31. If you would like to share transportation that would be great too. I did have a quote of $69 + tip for a Town Car from the port to Anaheim thru U-R-There Limo Service. They could probably do something bigger if more of us wanted to share. Have not checked into anything from Anaheim to LAX... last time we took SuperShuttle or something and it wasn't bad.
Scott: Didn't you get a van from the port to GC? Which service did you use??

 

[videogal1]

We've updated the lists and deck plans. Deck 6 is the DIS board deck

Well, looks like I got upgraded right off the Disdeck...bummer, sort of...

I took the advice from Mousesavers.com about getting quotes from several different services from Limos.com. I received many, many quotes in a wide range of prices. The thing that worries me is, how do I know which of these companies are reputable? I think I'm going with Super Shuttle. I understand you can opt for personal service such as a luxury sedan or something like that (instead of shared van service). DisneyPinDiva, would you be interested in that once I get more information?

 

[karaeric]

It's so great to see new people joining us! Welcome Beth, Ken, and UKLes!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! This is quite possibly my hubby's favorite holiday. He's wearing his green t-shirt and looking forward to his corned beef and cabbage tonight! Oh, and a couple of

 

[Scott H]

We have a Primetime Shuttle for 8 people for about $100 total. It is a 9 passenger van but felt we might need the extra room for all our plunder we accumulate. From GC to SNA we have a Primetime shuttle for just Lynn and I and I think the cost is about $45. Sorry I don't have their contact info here at work but I am sure a google search would find them.

 

[webray]

Happy St. Patrick's day...just about time to start the lamb stew. Guiness is in the fridge. Pub is about to be open..lol.


RE..shuttle services
Anyway...we booked execucar services from supershuttle, from the port to GC hotel, and then from GC to the airport a few days later. You can also just book the super shuttle service, much cheaper obviously. Super shuttle is excellent, we have used them in many of the cities they provide service in, you can book ahead of time. They are very prompt. You can check them out at supershuttle.com.

Thanks Jeff and Jen for the deck plans! I feel sorry for the non-DIS'rs on Deck 6 aft There are a bunch of us down there.

Been a good day... I worked in a conference room today so I could watch the parade on TV (we DID have a group walking, so I HAD to watch ) then I popped in an Off Kilter DVD I made for a little while. Made the work go by faster

One more day closer!!!!!

Debbie

PS Thanks Peter.. I needed that

I took the advice from Mousesavers.com about getting quotes from several different services from Limos.com. I received many, many quotes in a wide range of prices. The thing that worries me is, how do I know which of these companies are reputable? I think I'm going with Super Shuttle. I understand you can opt for personal service such as a luxury sedan or something like that (instead of shared van service). DisneyPinDiva, would you be interested in that once I get more information?

Angela: You usually can't go wrong with anything recommended by MouseSavers... they wouldn't be on there long if they weren't reputable. We'd be interested in sharing a van... maybe the AZKempson gang would too and then we could get the big van for around $100 like Scott did. That would only come out to around $15 per person.... a lot better than some other options. What do you think? We would just have to find out if they will make a couple of stops... since you are at HoJo and we are at Paradise Pier... I don't know where AZKempson is thinking of staying.
Anyone else still looking for Port To Anaheim transport??
