bummer...no bj's around here. i need to get looking on the car rentals though. we are planning on flying in a few days early and using magical express to go to wdw. my parents have mentioned wanting to go to port by limo, so i'm not sure if we need a van for before the cruise. we don't fly home though til the day after we disembark, so we need a vehicle when we get off the ship.


and YES!! please add me to the list. i thought i had already posted for it, but i guess i posted in the other thread. )following 2 threads is gonna confuse me fast! LOL!!) so far it will be just my family. i'm not sure what the others cruising with me plan to do. thanks!

i was not disparaging Rochester as a place... it just that its a long way from where the Wheelerkidz3 live.. they will be driving to the airport for as long as the flight will be

u dont have to tell me... I live 25 mins from three different airports (JFK, LGA and White Plains), but for the past two years Presidents week airfare to WDW was so high from NY, that I flew out of Philly and Baltimore.

Heck I once flew into Tampa and once was scheduled to fly into Jacksonville (but that flight got cancelled and they put us on a flight to Orlando).

For our trip to DL next month, DW said she would only agree if we were flying non stop out of JFK . Lucky Jet Blue had a sale and we are all set at $299!

O' No no no what I mean is O' hey "We live in Rochester" didn't even read into the post that way at all more like wow we live closer than i thought type of thing. No harm no foul O' and I'd say Rochester myself much of the time especially right now.

Hi everyone! I am getting excited seeing all the pictures of the Dream How is everyone doing? Has the snow stopped yet? In order to get 'cheap' air fare, we are flying with connections... on our way home, we are flying MCO to newark by way of Detroit! Then the next day JFK to Athens via Zurich! It doesn't matter, as long as we get to where we have to go, right?

Hi Debbie all is well here i agree with all these pictures floating on the net are simply amazing and exciting we are almost pretty well set but i have 2 more things to book hotel before cruise and airfare im waiting for southwest to open fares up till past august then im booking cause the airport it so easy to get thru for us and no first and second bag fees . Once all this is done then im going to concentrate on planning some fun meets and things we can do together with everyones help .

Jeeze, I feel so behind. Other than booking the cruise, I have not made any other arrangements for this trip. A this point I may as well wait for the 7 month window to open up at DVC to see what resorts will be available.

As for air... I can usually wait until early summer and get a good enough deal.

Then need to plan for parks and dining...

Should be fun!

Hi Debbie -

I don't know if you are because you have to make so many connections or because you have to connect through Detroit. If it's the latter, there is no reason to be .

Not sure if you will have a layover in Detroit or how long it will be but if you do have to deplane in Detroit, make sure you explore the Detroit Metro Airport. There are lots of great shops and restaurants to visit!!

A friend of mine has just returned from a preview sailing aboard the Disney Dream. She and her family had a wonderful time. She took some great pictures and I wanted to share them with my fellow cruisers. Enjoy!

usually this time of the year you should have no problems with getting something at the 7 month window . I got my 4 ngts at boardwalk studio non prefered at my 7 1/2 month with no problems at home resort and i was shocked lol im usually on the short end of getting what i like and want .

I can't wait to see my Verandah room! My first time getting a verandah!

ME 2!!!!!! These pics just make me more excited and help me ignore all the cold and snow outside! This is our 4th time on the Disney Cruise but our little one's first!

We are actually doing Disney before hand this time we've never done that before but with free dinning it's the way it worked out and we are at Riverside for 8 day's. Not sure what we will do yet when we disembark, come home are stay one more day since it's so early in the am and hanging around the airport at MCO for 4 hours give or take like last time is not on my agenda for that day LOL! Right now we have no airfare our best prices are always Airtran even with the bag fees and once in a blue moon Jet Blue but neither has their prices up yet for August beyond the 11th so we wait.

PS I've been doing FE research, anyone else? My oldest is very excited to try this. Question the zip thing to hold it on suggested is that so it doesn't fall off or so it doesn't get stolen? Just wondering as even though not our first cruise Disney style our first FE.

we use a zip tie to tie it on there...just make sure you bring some scissors to cut it off...we forgot out scissors last time, but thankfully the stateroom host had some we could use though. he had a pretty big pair though and it was hard to get to the zip tie!
