First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise 5/10/2009

[cdnmickeylover]

If there is enough interest/people, instead of an Illuminations cruise, what do y'all think about everyone chipping in for an Illuminations dessert party? We did one of these for our Disney wedding and it was the highlight of our day - a prime seat for Illuminations (with no worries about anyone shoving you out of your coveted space PPerfectMom!) and all you can eat desserts and drinks (depending on the package). What does everyone think?

We'd probably be up for this as well. We have annual passes so the ticket part isn't a problem.

Is it 5pm yet???? This work day has been awful and 5pm can't come quick enough.

Ditto here, Fiona... In the words of Alan Jackson, "It's Five O'clock somewhere..."


We're up to 49 (plus lurkers and Podcasters). COME ON, 50!!!!!
I feel a bit like Jerry Lewis...

Hey Gang

I notice we have some Lifetime DIS Site Sponsors posting on this thread and booked on the podcast cruise.

You may not be aware of this but all DIS Lifetime Site Sponsors receive an additional $75 Shipboard Credit on any cruise booked through Dreams Unlimited Travel. This goes for the Podcast Cruise as well.

That's $75 on top of any and all discounts and in addition to any and all shipboard credits already applied.

Unfortunately we do not have an automated process letting us know if a DIS Lifetime Site Sponsor has booked a cruise through Dreams Unlimited Travel so you have to let us know.

Please send Tracy an email and ask her to make sure your reservation is noted for the additional $75 Shipboard Credit.

Thanks
John

So, if someone were to become a lifetime member after they had booked the cruise could the credit still be applied?

 

[WebmasterJohn]

Yes - if you become a Lifetime Site Sponsor after you book your cruise the shipboard credit will be applied.

Just to clarify - this shipboard credit is not retroactive to past sailings. This may seem silly but I have gotten this question before.

I'll have to check but they are standard sized buses. The nice part about doing this is you won't lose spaces due to luggage. DCL picks your luggage up separately.

I don't mean to pressure you, but any word on the bus prices? Just trying to figure out if price-wise it makes sense to do this as the transfer option from the Dolphin to Port on Cruise Day since it looks like most of us will be at the Dolphin anyway. That way, I can figure out what other transportation options everyone else needs. Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure if I understand. The standard size bus holds 47 passengers. The question was asked about getting a Disney Cruise Line bus to ourselves. The cost would be $35 each way for this. Is this what you are looking for?

Oh boy -- just another reason why I should have just signed up as a Lifetime Sponsor in the first place instead of "buying the cheap seats" every year!

Tracy -- I think we were hoping it would be a chartered bus at a lower cost, not a DCL transfer. Didn't you know that you've been promoted to tour guide/tour operator as well?

I wasn't sure because someone had mentioned getting a bus separately, but the someone else asked about the DCL bus. I said I would find out how many people it would sit and that's what my post was referring to. I can certainly look into this though.

Promotion? I'm getting a promotion? Oh John..........

I just listened to my second podcast....I think I am starting to figure things out a bit. I have learned I need to listen to the new one before I start responding to threads here.....after hearing it, many made much more sense!!!

By the cruise, I should be able to listen to Bawb without an interpreter and actually start to get some of the "inside" jokes.

You mean you're not plugged in 24/7 listening to all the OLD podcasts??? That's where all the good stuff is!

 

[firsttimemom]

Its official ds (12) is joining us.....Tracy when you have a minute can you add him to our names on the list.

Anyone else with 11/12 year old kids on the cruise?

My DD will be 11 1/2 when we sail. Welcome aboard!

 

[Stroller Boy]

Why do I envision the whole DISUnplugged group singing a karoke version of "Scene's from an Italian Restaurant"? on this cruise.. With Kevin giving a review at the end, of course... "While I enjoyed the bottle of red, they only served bread as an appetizer...." To the restaurant review guy!!!! (One of my favorite segments, and I hardly eat on property!!!)

Thx a mint for this post. I'd seen others have Dis Sponsor in their sig but didn't know what it meant/how it got there (there's lots here I still don't "get" but don't worry about )

cheers,

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

Also, is there a way to see when the current sponsorship is due again? I honestly have no idea when my year is up.

Can anyone say "integrity?" (You don't get to try, Bawb..) Not something John was obligated to tell people. Does anyone think a certain major Mouse-related corporation we all love would volunteer what discounts/credits someone might have coming without being asked?

This is a great way to earn loyalty.
