First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise 5/10/2009

I will also be traveling solo. None of my friends wanted to go on the cruise especially when I starting raving about the Podcast and how great it is. I just got weird looks from them like I have gone off the deep end. I figured they just don't get it

I was not able to make the Dec Meets so I am definitely looking forward to the cruise. There was no way I was passing this opportunity up. So looking forward to meeting the Podcast crew and other DIS'ers.

I could end up being a solo podcruiser. I just sort of signed my mom up to go with me but haven't really told her about it. She knows about the DIS and the podcast since I refer to it frequently but I can tell she doesn't really get it. But she does love DCL and is my usual WDW traveling companion so I am thinking she will go along with it. But if she doesn't go with me, I am still going darnit!!!!!!

Tracy -- Can you please do us a favor the next time you update the list and keep a running total at the bottom...that way we can see how many cabins have been booked without counting each time (because I personally have run out of fingers and toes ). Thanks!

When I mentioned the Cruise to DH the other day he kind of raised his eyebrow like "Are you crazy - cruising with strangers." I just don't want him to think it's a swingers cruise . . .

Another solo Podcast cruiser here. After 15 months of chatting it will be more like sailing with old friends than strangers. I havn't told any of my friends yet that I'm going on this cruise. Most of them don't get the whole Disney thing and already think I'm crazy. When I tell them about the Podcast cruise they will probably think I've gone off the deep end.

There's 26 as of this post listed...and that doesn't even count the PodSquad!

Will you be doing any restaurant reviews while on board?

I'm going to be too busy guarding Will.

Actually..I think there will be too much going on.

Poor Will won't be able to go anywhere w/o an entourage

Tracy, is everyone incuded in this list or just the ones who have given permission?

That sounds very promising!

Just the ones who have given permission, for privacy reasons.

Can you just add them to the total number of cabins (but without disclosing any personal info)? I'm just curious to see how many people are actually going.

BTW -- I did just see you have added a cabin count...thank you for helping out us lazy folks!

While I was looking at the list posted, it appears I'm one of the only cruisers bringing teenagers so far...my kids will be so disappointed if they are the only ones in that age group. Is it safe to assume (scary, I know!) that there will be plenty of other teens onboard outside our little circle?

There just aren't a whole lot of kids in general. We will be bringing ours. They can miss school. Hopefully there will be more.

And the truth comes out...the real reason the May date was selected!

I don't know how cool my Morgan is, but I think we will be inviting her smark aleck little 15 (at the time of the cruise) self on the cruise with us. I think she's a pretty cool kid - she's been ice skating since she was 5 and is mostly into music and playing on the internet. I still have to add her to our ressies (which I plan to do when we get our tax refund). I am putting my foot down on the baby though - I just can't relax with a 3 year old around - I know, I know - selfish! Maybe we can get the teens online to chat?

I'm trying to convince my Sister & BIL to come along & bring their kids---they will be 17, 3 and 2 at the time of cruising. She is hesitant because of May 10 being right before final time for my 17 year old niece. Any helpful arguments out there?

That's the count for ligitimate teens. How many of us will turn into teens once on board and have a few moo-gee-toes in us, may raise that number. Significantly.

May doesn't stop us. We figure school is overrated anyway My kids just happen to be at an age where it's not too hard to take them out of school. Do you have any issues taking your teenager out?

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

I think that would be great!

That might be a difficult one. My kids don't have to worry about that as our school runs almost to the end of June...so their final exams will be at least a month after the cruise.

In the process of booking (I hope):

Info for first post: Sue (me) and my 3 DS's Colt (will be 14 ), Dale (will be 12) and Mitch (will be 11)-OMG I now feel old!

However, my kids always desert me for dinner after they've filled up on the top deck. So, I definately would appreciate someone or someone's to sit with at dinner and go to Palo's dinner and brunch with.

I switched from the first Tortola cruise. I've missed most of the other Podcast meetings and stuff and could not pass this up. Otherwise I would not have done a 4 day cruise as we love the full week. Our first DCL cruise was a 3 day so we haven't been back on the Wonder since 2003.
