April 29, 2012 ~ Aloha! ~ Inagural Wonder to Hawaii-Part 3

[Happy Goofy]

I had double knee replacement so my knees are just up to walking- and a slow walk at that.

 

[Lynn G]

I am now PIF

A great day with our travel agent..we went to pay for cruise and see if we have a cabin number yet and she called Disney - does it almost daily- and they were able to FINALLY give us a handicap accessible room. Same one we used on inaugural ALaska cruise on deck 7. So excited for Catherine and I to be PIF and have the cabin we need for sure

Congrats to both of you!!!

Our friends from Montana are not staying, our friends from VA are!!!

Do I know them?

We booked the DCL shuttle from the port to DL for after the cruise, but are thinking of the Super Shuttle from the airport to the hotel before the cruise and from DL to the airport when it's time to go home (this is the longest vacation we will have ever taken!). Does the Super Shuttle even go from DL to the airport? I miss the Magical Express .

Well, I answered my own question on the SuperShuttle and booked both to the port and airport. Done and done. The only thing left is to get tickets for DL. Whew! I love having all the pieces in place!

You might!!

Looks like we need to book DCL transport to DL post cruise so we can be with our friends!

Our longest Disney vacation was a month of magic in May 2008. We flew to DL and spent 3 days, flew to Florida for another 3 days, did the 15 night PC cruise back to LA and then stayed at DL another 6 days. It was AMAZING fun!!!

Getawaytoday dot has discounted DL tickets and like Undercovertourist for WDW tickets the discounted price includes the tax so the savings is even more than it seems vs. gate prices. There may be others with good prices also.

Woo Hoo - just booked GC for a night after the cruise, I still need to get tickets, but things are coming together!

Sounds like a good idea but no running for me; the knees are only up to walking.

I'd be in for walking, I've been trying to get motivated on the treadmill, and every cruise I have the best of intentions to go walk, but I never seem to actually do it. Maybe if I had a set time and others involved I would stick with it!

I had serious intention to start using treadmill...well now I'm stuck on crutches and wheelchair for 2 months, which will probably only add pounds..

Thanks, Angie. I'll check it out.

We'll be there, too.

That's what we should do and then maybe we won't add those inches.

Well, the upside is that you've got time to heal and be well for the cruise. (But crutches are horrible; been there, done that. Yuck!)

Oh, I'm so sorry - that does NOT sound like fun at all. I hope you're up and about before the cruise!

Works for me, I already have too many inches to lose - so not adding more would be a good thing.

 

[Frodo UK]

ok! I haven't actually had an authentic British yule log EVER! ( you know we are from Illinois)

There's always next December, if we are allowed to import cakes to Florida, or Ann can always try to bake at your place while Chuck and I watch .

I just got an offer for 3 day park hopper passes at Disneyland for $199. I am still trying to do some research but that seems like a good deal and possibly better than I would get tied to a hotel reservation. Any opinions??

 

[OH 6]

We were PIF a week ago, just getting around to doing the dance.

Big task ahead is to decide what we're doing on each Island - likely just renting a car as we've been to HI several times before. Would really like to see Aulani though too.

Hope we all get the Palo/Spa/Port Adventure choices we want...see you all online in about 30 hours.

I know I will be armed with my mouse at midnight tomorrow. I have pretty much figured out what I am doing on the islands.

 

[Mickey&JoshNut]

We too are PIF....and I will be at my computer comes the stroke of midnight tomorrow....I have my list of excursions/Palo that I would like along with a game plan for the booking order....I hope everyone gets the excursions, Palo and Spa reservations they want.....I still can't believe I am going to Hawaii....another item checked off my bucket list!!!!!!!!

Sounds like about as good a deal as you will get. Where did you find this?

Tomorrow, tomorrow, we're booking tomorrow......it's only a day away!!! This is exciting because I remember how quickly the time went between booking excursions and leaving for the cruise last cruise!!

 

[Lexa]

Who is booking tomorrow...leave some excursions for us who will book later...next year LOL

 

[BobandLee]

Good Evening Cruisers.

Just a quick question.
Does anyone know how many Palo brunches will be served and on which days?

We are paid in full also and will attempt to stay up pass my bedtime to do some booking.

I think we will do excursions on our own, so it will just be Palo and maybe a spa.

Palo brunches are only done on sea days, so there will be 9 days of brunch! Yay!
