What's this word "planning" you all keep throwing around?

Pass the rum....

I am planning on bringing extra rum and a credit card with a high limit to purchase more rum. How's that for planning?

Wellll...I plan to help you avoid carrying all those heavy bottles home!!

As Kevin says, "I'm a giver..."

Funny you should mention it...DH and I were going through a couple of our drink books last night trying to find a new fun recipe to make (you know, the books we have with all of the pretty pictures of drinks but no one has the ingredients for!) ...anyway, we decided to plan ahead and make a grocery list of alcohol we are going to buy when we go on our Oct cruise (Royal Caribbean) based on the drinks we found in the book. Plus, we are making color copies of the drink recipes we want to try for our Oct cruise so when we go on this cruise we will have new great drinks to order. How's that for a plan, Jason?

Sounds PLANtastic!! Need a Luggage Boy in October? I could sleep on the Leto Deck... (I just remember them always saying "Leto Deck" on Love Boat)

Now update me....what are we all doing?

...We're all Tracy's Crazy Cruisers!


...DCL has to stock up on Mint and Rum!


...Everybody but me is in the veterinary business or related thereto.


..and Tracy's Life Insurance is paid up!

There you're caught up!

 

[DLBDS]

Just read the good news regarding Jules and CorEy. They need to add one more to their party on the first page me thinks. .

 

[halliesmommy01]

My sister just booked the cruise, I am so excited. It will be my sister, BIL and nephew Devon.

Um, add me to the veterinary list. I worked as a receptionist at one for almost three years and one of my best friends is a vet!

Not to mention your husband being a "Vet!"

Is anyone going to be staying near the port Saturday night before hand? We have made the executive decision to drive instead of fly. We are leaving Friday evening and should arrive sometime Saturday late morning/early afternoon. Which hotel would you recommend? Cheap but clean would be nice. We will probably spend time on the beach and then head to Orlando for the evening to hit DTD.

Thanks
Becky

Gosh! You're gonna checkin at a Port Canaveral hotel and then drive back to WDW for DTD?

Why don't you just stay at the Dolphin on WDW or a DTD hotel and drive to Port Canaveral Sunday morning?

You can get the DTD Hilton on priceline for under $100 if you want to be close to DTD.

Oh well, if you're still determined. Here's Shirley's thread. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1520273 She lives in Port Canaveral. Scroll down to the part that says 'Closest Hotels to the Port' We stayed at Country Inn and Suites and wished we had stayed at the Radisson.

That was the first time. Now I stay at WDW and get up and leave by 8am to be at Port by 10am.

I would stay at the Dolphin for $99 a night. Not worth the drive back to Orlando for the evening if you decide to stay at the port.

 

[DVCsince02]

I agree Becky. Hang with us and drive in the morning.

Thanks, I am going to discuss it with DH when he gets home from work. Thank you too Pershing. I was thinking we would not want to drive back to WDW. This may work for DH because he was bumming that our park days were being cut. But if we stay at the Radisson or Country Inn I don't have to pay 15.00 to park. Hmmm decisions, decisions.

i would skip the beach and just drive straight to WDW (we'll also be at the dolphin before the cruise - the $99 deal from DU), spend the night there and then drive to port canaveral in the morning...
in any case, you'll have beach time on the cruise....

I agree completely for exactly the same reasons.

Does anyone else envision the drive from WDW to Port Canaveral to look like a procession of sorts with all of the people we have going already? And we are still 9 months out!

definitely....when i wrote my post above that thought popped into my head...
convoy........

 

[scarlett873]

Add us to the conga line heading from the Dolphin to the ship!

 

[TheBeadPirate]

We kind of figiured that the podcast crew would let us all "hitch a ride" with them

I think it might be a nice idea to decorate the cars and windows and all travel together...

let's see knowing this group we should be leaving about 6Am to arrive just in time to wait 3 hours for the rope drop at the parking lot.

Rick will be doing a brisk business in the wait line by serving Pirate Bloody Marys from the portable bartending unit in the trunk
