Hey Mineu!
Where have you been? We have a thread in the meets forum for our cruise and we've been chatting for quite a few months. We also have a yahoogroup too.
We're traveling with 14 people from Houma so we're not far from you at all!
How are you getting to the ship and back to the airport? If you're using Disney transportation, the new policy has gone into effect whereas you check your luggage the last night of your cruise and it meets you at your home airport! From what I've read, we'll have boarding passes delivered to us at turndown service too.
Even if you're using private transportation, you'll have no problem just checking in online for your return flight and getting your boarding passes at the airport. We've done this for Southwest before -- as late as October 2007.
I'll see about getting the link to our group thread so you can come post over there!
We're also escaping Mardi Gras and have done so for the last few years.
Lisa
