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

[piglet33]

Just bumping the pic of the name tag for the people that missed. The size of the name tag is 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 and will have a hole in top to attach to the lanyard.

Just PM me the first names of the people in your party, their DIS names if they have one (if not, I will use the person that sent the PM unless otherwise requested) and your mailing information so I can send them to you. If you want me to bring them to CA, then let me know that. Once we get closer, I will see if I can get any volunteers from the HoJo and GC that can distribute them out to the people staying there. I will cover the HI and the Port. How does this sound?

One more thing, I am not taking any money for doing these. I got a great deal on the laminating paper so it's not that big of a deal.

I will need 2 more lanyards (parents want in on the action). So a total of 5. I would love to write you a check with additional shipping so we could have them when we board the ship. With our t-shirts on we will need name tags to go along with!

Piglett33 I will PM you with 2 more names to our add to the name tags in our group.

Mark- I guess we had better add my parents to the DISmeet on Sunday. Please, change my group from 2 to 4 for the DISmeet.

It's about time Maybe I can work one day this week

 

[dan and scott]

OK guys,

Sorry I haven't been here to post much, however I still lurk occasionally!

Can someone tell me what rental car place is closest to the port and whether they offer a free shuttle or not. I would prefer Avis-but beggers can't be choosers now can we.

Also where can I find the current list of cruisers? We now have 6 in our party (3 seperate rooms)the waitlist came through!

Thanks everyone!

Dan

Quiet on the Fools thread? Unheard of!

Dan and Scott, sent you a PM.

 

[Grumbo]

We're using Budget and the drop off is relatively close to the port.
I called the agency and they said they DO have a shuttle but others have disputed that so it isn't 100% yet.
The list of cruisers is on page 1 of this thread and if you want to add or correct anything pm me and/or jazzman.

Cheers,
Grumbo

 

[dan and scott]

Grumbo-

Can you tell what what the code is for Budget?

Thank you.

Dan

 

[Grumbo]

I used no code. I just got in early, and found it better than any other discounts I could find. This far out its tough.

OK I just spoke directly to the Budget office in Long Beach. They are approximately 7 miles from the San Pedro harbour and they do NOT have a shuttle so I'll be taking a cab. I'll have already dropped my crew off at the port so just be me with no luggage.

Cheers,
Grumbo

I have tried Avis, National and Enterprise and those agencies can't help either. Budget is a good idea. Does anyone know of any towncar services? We have done the towncar service in FL but prefer to rent. In CA, I am totally lost as to transportation to the port. We aren't doing the Disneyland thing as we have done it before. Much prefer WDW. Maybe Knotts Berry Farm or Universal Studios.....or just tour or just be lazy.

Wow, Marsha, your son would be ideal for my dd. She is 24. Too bad she is going with a guy! Her bf is not a Disney fanatic like us. He grew up in FL so he got kind of tired of everything being DISNEY! Will let you know if we can hook him up! (just what he really wants is a bunch of women trying to find a girlfriend for him)

 

[Grumbo]

OK I made up a little bit of a map to put it in context.
Bit fuzzy as I had to reduced the size so much but the Hoiliday Inn is on the left and the port is marked just to the east of the Holiday Inn and the Budget is marked on the right side of the map.
It 10 kms (6 miles) from the Holiday Inn to the Budget location so they are all relatively close.

Cheers,
Grumbo

 

[Bmwdsny]

I have Alamo..which is a few miles from the san Pedro port...
