Dec 27/08 NYE Western Cruise - Really New Thread

not sure on the cab, does MCO have a shuttle service? I would give them a call, they could help you figure out something.

Ok.. so there is an annual passholder code.. I put that in, and got a better rate.. 86/day.. that is way better than $100/day. Then w/all the hidden fees it comes to $106/day.

Going to call the hotel now, see what they offer.

Thanks for popping in, Grim, Kazzie, and Jill!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're SURELY be thinking of you guys! And Tiggie, too.

I just saw on the news that Santa has been spotted over Bangladesh!

We leave tonight/tomorrow morning for the airport at 4 AM. We're only 15 minutes from JFK, but everyone keeps telling to get there EARLY because it's going to be packed. I'm sure the kids won't sleep at all tonight, since we have to be up anyway at 3ish, and that's Jesse's usual weekend bedtime!

As I'm sitting here typing this, I just saw that Brian has chewed my new flip flops to rubber shreds!!!! Gotta clean it up! I luuuuuuv my bad puppy!

Called up MCO's Hyatt they have a deal w/Dollar Rental.

They reserved a car for $108 (after all the taxes and stuff).. I have decided that its cheaper than a whole OTHER trip to WDW to see the Christmas decorations.. and Brian REALLY doesnt need to know. Its a need to know basis.

The concierge there also has directions ready for me.. and the reservation information. he was extremely helpful.. Too bad they dont offer a shuttle to the parks.

ANYWAY!! I feel better. Also heard that Alamo is the busiest there.. and if the concierge can give me my stuff w/o me having to stand in a long line.. then I am happy.

He did warn me that the parks are VERY crowded this time of year. Hopefully I can get into them. Do you guys think it will be a problem!?!?!?

 

[ohioworkingmom]

I can't answer that, never been to the parks yet!!

 

[Aisling]

My kids want to be at the Christmas parade tomorrow, we'll see if we can get in!

 

[Aisling]

[disneykelly73]

[CADZNYCHC]

Oh.. so you wont get there til 730 pm? We are supposed to get in around 1pmish.. I am hoping there are no delays. I want to go see the Osbourne Family lights at MGM and then head over to MK to see Main Street all lit up.. and the castle too of course.

Where are you guys all staying?

we are staying at embassy suites friday night...getting an early start to the port....and then we'll be at the Beach Club from the 3rd to the 6th....can't do those crowds...

Howdy

Just a fly by post

My suitcase is just about done - Kara's - ha ha ha

Don't worry about camera cable - the plug in thingie will work and I can order a new cable from Kodak after we get back

We have had so much rain - our garage flooded today - just what I needed - so spent some time getting stuff up off the floor etc

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas tomorrow and if I don't get back - we will see everyone at port or at the lounge at 3 on Saturday

DCL is advising that we are being picked up at AKL about 12:30 - so we should arrive at port about 1:30 or so

Look for the frazzled mom with crazy hair and spazztic daughter
