August 20, 2005 - L.A. to Port Canaveral - Eastbound Repo Cruise - The SHIP OF FOOLS Part 2

[Denine]

I am so far behind, I'll never catch up! I can't even find my last post!

We are early diners. 2 adults and 1 adorable 2 year old.

What is this bus to MCO thing?


Kaleigh is still sick and will only take her antibiotics in a milk shake. She has been sick for a week now. When will the madness end?

We did not have a single trick or treater last night. I knew we wouldn't get many, since there are so few houses at our end of the neighborhood still. It will be different next year. All the lots across the street are either sold or being built now.

Bus to MCO after our cruise.

I've contacted about 7 companys about a bus from the Port to MCO. Most asked for a head count, which I don't have, some gave me a quote based on their occupancy.

The average rate seems to be:

Bus seating 47 passengers is 375.00 (7.97 per person if we fill bus)

Bus seating 58 passengers is 425.00 (7.45 per person if we fill bus)

**Bus update**
I was contacted by American Coachlines, here's his e-mail:

Thank you for your inquiry. We have Motor Coaches that can hold anywhere from 47 to 57 passengers. For a 47 passenger motor coach will cost $375.00 to or from the Orlando Airport. A 57-passenger motor coach will cost $425.00. If you need anymore information please e-mail or call me. Again thank you for you inquiry

And follow up:

We charge no tax. The deposit is $100.00 balance due 10 days before the trip.
Tip is not included in charge.

2nd follow up:

I can have the bus at the port 9.00am and it will wait for all of your passengers.

Unfortunately we are waitlisted for early dining and hope we will be able to switch. I can't imagine eating that hour, it will be like 11:30 (my time) the first night!

Mark, Get with the program, will ya!!!!! I told you the stateroom bit is "for you to find out" which you won't know until the cruise. ....

Okay, I guess I've been away from this thread a little longer than I thought.

Anyway, our group of "20 something" right now has Main dining. We won't fit at one table as it is, but we'd love to be in the same section/area as the rest of the Dissers that have Main dining.

As for the shuttle, I'll check with the rest of the group. Some of us are going to our timeshare by Sea World, others are going to WDW, and the rest I have no clue about.

Why does this remind me of the men running JGE?

 

[mark & sandra]

I think it symbolizes the never ending power struggle between Grumbo and Jazzman...Mark

 

[Jazzman]

For the record, that's me on top.

Mark & Sandra,
Count us in on the bus from MCO to the port...we are three.

Robin Marie...we currently have main dining, but may change depending on what is available at the ports...we changed from main to late one week before our 10/16 cruise and so glad we did. Am holding back on this one because we normally eat at 6:30, and half the cruise fits that description...we're from the Sacramento area.

Does anyone know how much and when the time changes ? Is it three hours later once we're through the canal or what ?

 

[Grumbo]

Yeah right Jazz, but look at the photo as it was taken, and you'll see you were really on the bottom. You and photoshop. Then again maybe everything is upside down being on the other side of the World
Sheesh

Cheers,
Grumbo

 

[HeathyChanJellicle]

Grumbo: i totally agree with you

maybe it is more like this perhaps?

Okay those two parrots are really Jazz and Mark in disquise. They are too drunk to know which way is up.

Had a beautiful Fall day here. Sunny and not too cold. Just right. A really nice day and then it all went south. I'm at work and have finished all I have to do at the day care. We close at 6 PM. Unfortunately we have two new 4 year olds, brothers, actually on is three. Dad isn't working at this time, but he didn't get there to pick them up until 6:30. No sorry I'm late just a come on guys. Just annoying since I then had to come home and fix a very late dinner. errrrrggg. Okay I'm done my rant.

Everyone have a nice evening and I'll be better tomorrow.

[HeathyChanJellicle]

Sandra (of mark & sandra) - if you are lurking: We need to hook up before the cruise to plan some hijinks for our dhs. Any other DIS girlfriends game? Hey, we girls can have some fun dising our hubbies too!

Arlene, I'd love to join you all for tea, thank you! Sometimes I do not have the chance to read all the posts, though I try...so, I miss some info.

We have late seating and would like to hook up with DISers too. We would also like to have another 10 year old girl join our table for our dd. Ds then age 14 will eat with us but will most likely book out early. We probably will let him miss a few dinners this time too as the cruise is 14 days long.

Renee': As always, Haley is an adorable little girl! I say she is the poster child for our cruise! Enjoy her each minute (know you do) they grow so fast.

 

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

All we needed were first and last names and stateroom number. Had an aunt once who had the ressie # and cancelled the hotel rooms even though they were for other people. So I don't recommend giving out your reservation #, what if somebody cancelled your cruise?! Just my 2 cents...Debbie assisted us with linking dinner with our DIS friends on our last cruise. I always err on the side of safety.

 

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

Mark, any chance the bus would take us on to the Royal Pacific Hotel (IOA) or others to WDW? If not, maybe we'll just take Art's shuttle. Also, any idea on the time of time of departure from Port Canaveral that a.m.?

Ok that is no problem....Good idea though....

Ivanova, Do you want to link the early seating with us or because you have so many people, you want a separate one??
Let me know....
