8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #12

I think Tracy already posted this...so sorry if I'm repeating. I just had an e-mail from concierge and the dining times and rotations are as follows:

6:00 LAP
6:15 APL
6:30 PLA

8:00 LAP
8:15 APL
8:30 PLA


I'd wanted the PLA rotation, but that gets us out of dinner too late to get to any of the adult shows, so we're now LAP at 8:00. I'm good with that.....as long as I'm not cooking or doing dishes!

FE Question!! Sorry for not paying complete attention... I tried to search and look on the Pirate Zone but couldn't find the answer. What is the final number of rooms participating in the FE exchange? TIA!

I'm pretty confident that the final total was 132 rooms and around 400 individuals.

I really hope that concierge is wrong about the times for early dining. They are usually 5:30, 5:45 and 6:00. That doesn't give us as much time for dinner as we have had with early in the past.

OK thanks!

The last time the list was posted this is what I counted.

134 total cabins listed.
126 families (8 are booked in 2 staterooms)

I have 125 gifts so with us crossed off for our own gift, then we have just enough for one per family.

For those of you in the know...would it be a reasonable drive to leave Port Canaveral, go to Kennedy Space Center for a few hours then head over to MCO? We don't have enough hours between the ship and our flight, but thought this might be a good use of our time. Any thoughts?

 

[lbgraves]

There is so much to see at KSC and with the cost of the tickets I wouldn't plan on this for my family. DH is an aerospace engineer and DS is trying to follow in his footsteps as far as interest so there is no way that we could get out of there in a couple hours. Have you looked into booking a day room at the airport? You get the use of the pool or can just relax in your room.

I dont think 2 hours is enough time to clear the dinning room between early and late dining I think the leeway is 2 1/2 isnt it ????

regarding the DL tix for $99.
Where can I verify for DH that we will be able to use the tix without issue?

There's no way to fully verify. The terms of the ticket do state that a southern CA ID is required. What you can go by is numerous reports of out of state people using these tickets and never being asked for ID. I've looked on several Disney message boards and have only seen 1 report from a person who was asked for ID and when they couldn't provide it, were required to purchase a regular hopper instead. They did however get the $99 applied to the new ticket.

I took out our 2005 cruise navs and the times were 5:45, 6:00 and 6:15. In 2006 they were 5:30, 5:45 and 6:00.

 

[got2travel]

Ours too as of 4:15 am today!!! Now where are they?

Mine finally says out for delivery today too.

What kills me is they have been sitting in the local warehouse no more than 5 miles from my house since Thursday night. Guess they were holding them since the delivery date was today - could have delivered them early, I wouldn't have minded.

My guess is that since Stacy is in second dining she didn't pay attention to the times for early dining. The times are 5:30, 5:45 and 6:00 for early dining. I've corrected it above.

AAA tour book says to allow at least 5 hours. Our flight is out of MCO at 5:15. I guess maybe we'll play it by ear, and see how early we are able to get off the ship. If we have a good amount of time, we might try. Seems like it is pretty close to port on the map, and then it is about a 40min drive from KSC to MCO.

Does anyone know if you can check in for the cruise at one of the DL hotels if you don't have Disney transfers? Just curious....
Thanks!

When they had 6.30pm in the Med, late dinner was 9.00pm! (Rome day)

If that is accurate, just let me apologize right now to the people who have our table for late dining!

We like to linger...we like to kill a bottle of wine and have coffee with dessert...heck we were always the last out of late dining.

Oh good. That looks better.
So, does this mean that the early linked group has 6:00 PLA?? I really, really hope so.

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

So...did anyone receive a "free" stateroom upgrade? We knew they'd be far and few between, but thought I'd see at least a couple upgrade dances.

I havent read about any on this cruise.

Hi Andrew, I know where you were a year ago today -- and I was there too! What a cruise!

 

[m&m's mom]

I got a tiara! My dress is still not exactly worthy but on Saturday the teenagers from our family reunion decided to go to Sam Moon. Since my DD's wanted to go too I asked them to pick up a tiara for me. Have to admit it looks quite decent and it was only $10.95.

No you cannot.
