Welcome aboard.

 

[disneyholic family]

Woohoo! I'm number 50 added to the list! Do I win a prize?

Looking forward to cruising with you all!

this is going to be my second cruise with Katie....
(hey Katie, cruising with me should be prize enough... )

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?

that sounds like a wonderful idea!!! I'm definitely up for a desert party! i hope we can get enough people together for it!

My only question on the dessert party is, do you need a park ticket? Again, I don't know if my step mother will be getting park tickets for this trip. I wouldn't want to plan something that she could take part in. The cruise would work since you don't enter the park just the lagoon.

Typically, if you don't have a park ticket you have to pay 12.95 viewing fee....I am not sure how this would work for just a couple members of the group (i.e is it an everbody or nobody?)

if park admission is an issue, an alternative to the illuminations dessert party might be something similar at the Grand Floridian - but viewing Wishes rather than Illuminations...
i can't remember who had one, but someone on one of the boards here had a dinner party on the beach at the grand floridian, with a view towards the Magic Kingdom....
Private Dining at the GF catered it and set up speakers so that they could hear the Wishes soundtrack....
it's not the same as viewing illuminations from inside Epcot, but it would get around the park admission problem (i'm an AP holder, so it makes no difference to me either way)..
and the private dining people at the GF are fabulous....they can do anything and everything...

 

[MrandMissVacation]

I have diligently read all the posts on this thread.. I'm all caught up and up to speed.
...THE list has begun
...I hope to keep this a surprise for DD and DS (at least until Christmas), although the idea of 'what do you two want to do today' question followed up with 'nah, Let's go on a Disney cruise' has SO much appeal

I think I'll take one of those drinky things that sound like a mojito would be good about now:

Thank for for the welcome

My family is seriously considering doing Universal Studios after the cruise instead of WDW. We'll only have three days as Sunday will pretty much be spent traveling home to the west coast (which takes all stinkin' day!). I think I'd feel cheated if I had to try and squeeze four parks into three days again like DH and I just did during our Daytona 500 weekend in February. Plus my ticket is already paid for (Thank You DIS Unplugged!!!) and we'll probably just end up renting a car the whole time. I guess I'll just wait and see if any of the US resorts have some specials going that we can take advantage of.

Not a bad idea. My only concern would be passing on that $99 rate at the Dolphin. If I were to do Universal I would want front of the line privilages which means staying on-site at Universal.

Hey ADP! Fellow central Indiana person! You don't accept PMs, so I wanted to chime in and say "hi" here since we'll be on the Podcast Cruise too!
