We're using Tiffany Towncar. We've used them before with no problems.

That is who we planned on using until I stumbled upon Edd who posts a lot on the transportation board. We got a decent deal from him and will be transported in his Suburban. We are being picked up at AKL around 9:45am! I have not used Tiffany before but am happy to hear they are a good company!

In case you miss the posting on the main cruise board, Hercules, the Muse-ical has been replaced with The Art of the Story until the Toy Story show comes onboard in March. I am a bit sad as I was hoping to see Hercules one more time before it left forever.

 

[ljm23]

That is a bummer about Hercule's, we hadn't seen it. Wonder why they'd do that?
By the way we got our documents today, we booked through expedia.

My guess is they need a couple of weeks to get things in working order for the new Toy Story show behind the scenes onboard but not positive. Maybe we will luck out and have a sneak peek at the Toy Story show when we are onboard, doubt it... but one can always hope!

Great news on the docs!

 

[hueydewielouie]

well I think i have decided to take the Disney transport from MCO to the port!

Our flight lands at 10am.

Maybe we will be on the same bus as hueydewielouie!!

You'll spot us because my husband will be the one saying "YOU DIDN"T TELL ME WE WERE GOING ON A DISNEY CRUISE!""

I'll be looking for ya and I will make sure to tell your husband that I knew about it the whole time. I'll be the one traveling with as much as my family as humanly possible: husband, son, parents, sister, sister's friend, parent-in-laws, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and niece (with either one or two fractured wrists. I feel so bad for her. She just fractured them both last week.)

In exactly two weeks we will all be sitting on the ship, basking in the sun and not having a care in the world. ALmost makes me forget about the snow storm heading our way. Still doint the warm weather dance As of now, the high on the 14th is 72 degrees. It beats 16 degrees. See ya all in a couple of weeks.

I'm am also disappointed about not seeing Hercules. It was our favorite.

No documents yet!

I have been reading the posting about the current castaway cay water temps. Some people who have been sailing recently seem to be reporting the water as too cold to enjoy or even get into for long. I was planning on enjoying some water time at the adult beach this trip. Others said it was ok after a few minutes of being in the water so I will hope we end up on that end of the spectrum and have great air temp/clear blue skys/and a nice water temp! I guess another dance we all need to do for CC day!!

 

[nkkilala]

well I am on my way up north to Cadillac. My dad and I are doing a poker run on snowmobile Friday. Let's hope I win big for some extra spending money. Have a good weekend everyone! I'll check here occassionaly on my I-phone!

I'm so excited!!! I had really wanted to book the Dolphin excursion on Nassau, but by the time I checked into it, it was full. I have been checking back every day for the last 3 weeks to see if there were any cancellations, and today there was!!! My kids are going to LOVE it. I'm not going to tell them until that day.

I've seen those reports too! Some even said they wore long sleeves and pants on CC. I'm hoping it will be warm for us, but am determined to have a good time either way!

Thats great news... have a blast!!

And as for the water, it does sound like we will at least have warm pools onboard to enjoy for the duration of the cruise!

Well it's my daughters 14th birthday today . We told her about the surprise cruise. Instead of jumping up and down she sat in stunned silence for a few minutes then had the biggest grin on her face. by the time she left for school she was excited.
Now I can start to get things organized, only 12 days until we leave

Happy birthday to your daughter! And thanks for reminding me... I need to go out and do some clothes shopping this weekend so we can start packing!

Still no documents. Is there anyone else who still hasn't received theirs?

No docs here either (went thru an online travel agent). Our agent said they usually recv docs for their customers around 12-14 days before sailing, check over them and ship them back out.

I'm an outside travel agent, and my documents for this cruise came into the office yesterday and the manager is sending them to me today.

I'm doing the happy dance. My documents arrived this afternoon.

Great for you... nothing here still!

I will tell you what, those weather reports for our arrival and sail-out day look better to me everytime I look at them!

 

[nkkilala]

I am home from my very successful poker run! My group (dad, uncle and me) went to 11 different stops and covered 95 miles by snowmobile. We won a rib dinner and a walleye dinner!

I have arrived home to find no documents.... which is good becuase then I would have really had some explaning to do to DH.


Do they leave your documents at your door?? or Mailbox. If it is the mailbox I'll have a bit of a delay there seeing as all of my mail is being delivered to the post office.
