Queenie,
I know you are cruising on 12-01-11 (the day we arrive at WDW). What are your park days again?

 

[franandaj]

Got a very scary ticker going on here........

Why scary? You're almost doing the single digit dance!

No park days
We'll go to DTD shopping and maybe the outlets the day we get back....before our flight to Denver...but no park days.
Some of the family are leaving earlier and get park days but we decided because of unknown work conditions in my situation...and the odd people my mum works for...to choose to leave essentially in Dec only.
It's a psychological thing with getting leave time

I thought you were cruising out of Florida and going skiing. Have you added Boston to the list?

We were always flying home out of Boston

After skiing we fly up to Baltimore to go to Fallingwater and Kentuk Knob
Then heading east via Lancaster etc to Washington, NYC and finally to Boston [BosNYWash in reverse ]
We are seeing Mary Poppins in NYC.

Found out today he who books accom is still deciding where to stay in Boston so I'm doing the research I should have done......erm.....months ago

 

[PrincessInOz]

So, where are you considering staying in Boston?

I know it is a lot different in winter; but we walked mostly everywhere in Boston.

Near the USS Constitution or near Quincy Market.
I know traffic in Boston is chaos (when we were there in 03 we got stuck in a side street for quite a while with an ambulance down there) but I figure we can drive to Prudential centre OR Boston common if we stay near the USS Constitution when we want to get to a particular section.

Where are you skiing? And when does the cruise fit it?

 

[usnuzuloose]

Yeah not long before your vaca.

Not a tinkerbell broken

Hopefully the place I located has the fresh trees monday or tues.

Dinner was good, service not so good. 2.5 hours for service. I hate the added tax. We didnt pay but still. I had the new york steak, very tender. Green beans with....BACON, garlic mashed potatos and dessert.

 

[PrincessInOz]

I hope you find something you like.

From what our friends told us, Boston traffic improved somewhat after the Big Dig was completed.

I would have thought that all the planning was completed, but now that I read you have so many additional cities included in your trip, I can see why the planning is not complete. I thought it was just the cruise and WDW.

I hope you find something you like.

I'm glad they finally completed that. I don't know when they started it, but I know it definitely impacted at least one of my trips and if it impacted more than it went on for way way way to long.

Of next week? Have you ever gone up into the foothills to a National Forest to cut one?

Why an added tax? 2.5 hours until your order came?

 

[usnuzuloose]

They automatically add the gratuitys. It took that long from start till leaving. It took a long time to get drinks, then appetizers. I dont think they will go back next year. No I dont cut my tree. I have enough trouble getting it home. I have a car no truck.
