April 19, 2008 - Western - VERY Early Roll Call - Anyone??!!

[bmalonef45]

Just 365 days to go... man that seems like a long time but I'm sure it will fly by. Can't wait until next year at this time!

OK, I am thinking I am going to book the Country Inn and Suites. They have April 18, 2008 available for $99.00. I think I will just do it and not think about it anymore. I was going to go with Budget, but I heard there is a Hertz opening or maybe just opened and it is the closest to the port. Anyone have info on this?

I just got back from the Magic cruise.
The cruise was great. The weather at Castaway Cay was picture perfect!
We did rebook onboard. Our group has four cabins.

Hertz is opening up right in front of the Residence Inn(right next door to the Country Inn and Suites)
The building is up and a sign saying coming soon.
The Country Inn and Suites was nice but........ they had a wedding at the pool that night we were there which turn into a horrible experience. I did take a lot of pictures. The hotel itself was nice but the wedding kept us awake until 11:00 pm. Manager was useless.
I will post pictures and tell you more tomorrow but I have to start unpacking.

Ant - the other thing to into consideration about Hertz is that they don't have a terminal in the Orlando airport you have to shuttle over.

Can you send me the link for the Country Inn and Suites? I'd like to check it out.

I talked to the manager about the wedding. He said it had been booked before the hotel was even complete and that they will not have any more weddings by the pool area.

I walked over there last Friday. It looks very nice. The serve a full hot breakfast. It would also be a great place to stay.

Hi everyone!

Looks like the Country Inn and Suites are going to be busy! We booked and got the $99.00 hot deal! Thanks yogibigdog for the pics and recommend! Still waiting on airfare to be made available! Even that can't come too fast for me...I like to have all my ducks in a row and know all the details!

We are doing a car rental from MCO...with Budget, I think, and we are planning on doing Downtown Disney...I think we will feel rushed doing the parks after arriving mid-dayish on Friday...so we are going to get a little magic in and enjoy the pool at the CI & S.

Anyone interested in a dinner for Friday evening? My last cruise meets group did a dinner at Grills...I think it is right at the port..I believe.

Hey Michelle,

I booked the $99 rate also. I think a dinner at Grills would be great. We are going to try and fly out of Westchester early in the am and have a day at the pool also. Sounds like it will be a great start to our magical cruise.
Anyone else?

Hi all,

We had originally booked on-board for the week of April 5, 2008. Our school calendar came out last week so I called this morning to change it to the April 19, 2008 cruise and was told by Disney that the cruise is completely booked!!!! Does anyone know if that is true, or is there something else I should know about????????

Very sad at the moment!

I am perplexed by this. How many in your group? Maybe they dont have a cabin to accomodate your party size? Maybe the catagory you want is full? Maybe the kids clubs are filled to capacity? I just dont understand it. I would call back and try and get a supervisor.
Good luck. Keep us posted.

I know how the children have to be potty-trained to be part of the children's groups. My DD will have just turned 3 and I wonder if she will be potty trained fully by then as my other DD wasn't. She will be too old for day care. But can't she just wear pull ups and I can go check her out in a couple hours to change her. How would they even know??
Does anyone have any experience with this?
TIA
Angie (still excited!!)

 

[anty30]

I am not experienced with this issue because both of my kids were trained early, but I would assume as long as your 3 year old does not do #2 in the pull-up, it would be ok. How would they know? Who knows, she might surprise you and be totally trained by then.

We just booked a Cat 5 for this cruise. I'd call again and check?

*wave* Hiya, all! DH, myself, and 3 year old DD have booked this cruise. I'm hoping kiddo will get to do more on this cruise; we just got off a backwards 4 Day Wonder where kiddo had a blast in Flounder's Reef.

Oops, sorry, I changed to a May 3rd cruise today. *wave*

Have a great time! Leave a Konk Kooler (or 5) for us!
