First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise 5/10/2009

[SamIAm21]

Sighhh.. I've been dreading this post almost as much as I dreaded the email I had to send to Tracy. Unfortunately, my daughter and I won't be sailing with y'all next year. With the current economy, gas prices, grocery prices, yadda yadda yadda, it's become pretty clear that any "disposable income" we once had is shrinking. It's hard to think of taking a "high-end" vacation for next year when it's becoming a struggle each month just to put gas in the car ya know! Sheesh!

So, we've just had a great vacation as we have just returned from Disney where we had a fabulous five days. That will have to be enough for the next year or so.

If I win the Lotto between now and February, I'll be sure to sign back up, but well I won't bet the ranch on that ya know!!

I'll be anxious to hear all the details of the cruise and I know I'll be wishing nothing but calm seas and sunny skies for everyone next May!

I hope you win a cruise.

I agree with Kim ^...good luck winning a cruise!

Thanks! I hope I do!! Oh was that for another Kim! hahaha

FINALLY a name I can remember Kim! hahaha

(since that is my name and the only one I can remember!)

Unfortunately, my daughter and I won't be sailing with y'all next year.

So sorry!

Keep listening to the podcasts and sending in those emails/voicemails -- as Jason and the Kims (Benny and the Jets?) pointed out...there's cruises to be had!!!

Here's hoping something comes thru for ya.

I've sent a few emails here and there in the past, but I've never done a voice mail. I think it would feel phony (mercenary) to send in emails and voice mails just for a shot at winning a cruise. However, if something is said or mentioned that I feel I can genuinely contribute something to, I will call or write. I'm bummed about not being able to go, but I had to throw on the big girl pants and realize that ya can't have it all ya know!

Like I said, I am still very excited for everyone else and I can't wait to hear the details and reports coming in from the ship. And can't wait to hear how Will and Ursala's daughter get along...

edited to add: I'm the first post on page 100! That's cool!

you already have a topic for a call/email....telling the podcasters that due to the state of the economy, you'll have to give up on the podcast cruise...
the affect of the economy on tourism to WDW is a current hot topic...(see the orlando sentinel article)..

anyway, that should be good for a few emails...and maybe you'll be lucky and win!!

Well Tracy, we got paid a day early so I don't have to try and wake up at some ungodly hour to get the deposit in before you look. I already did it today!!!!

Soooooo, that said Team Green is cruising! But take it easy on the green haired guy, it's his first cruise and he's kinda nervous about leaving behind reality for a few days....(shhh, the cell phones and computers don't work on the boat and work papers are confiscated upon arrival, rriiiiigghtt?!?<nudge, nudge>)


So, Tracy, if you could update the list with us I'd appreciate it!

TheBeadPirate- Lori(36, by then) and Rick (c'mon are men REALLY that vain?)-ok, something a little older than that.

No kidlums.

Late Dinner

First timers.


Oh, and already trying to decide what we're rebooking for while onboard....

 

[robind]

Can you please schedule a podcast function during ALL of the art auctions

I just paid off my Peter Max that I bought on my last cruise (where I said I wasn't going to buy anything). I need to be saved from myself. I have no more wall space !!!!!

Congrats, robind, on getting the Columbus Post, #1492 of the cruise thread!!

You have just won a cruise on the ill-fated "finding the shortcut to the Indies" voyage!!

Make sure your immunizations are up to date and bring plenty of citrus fruit.


please refrain from sending any credit card info..... this is a smart-assed joke.

 

[robind]

A bad day on a ship is better than a good day at work. Wonder what kind of excursions they have????

1) The San Salvador Excursion - Free Body Scarring; Hidden Mickeys preferred!

2) The Cuban Excursion - Hack away at some sugar cane; heck the locals can't eat it! Though they'll restore your vintage 1970s auto beyond what U.S. mechanics can accomplish!!

3) The La Navidad Excursion - Just like Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana -- FREE PEPSI!!!! Just avoid anyone bearing dolls in what will become Haiti...

Check me for historical accuracy...corrections welcome!!

And here's something for Kathy/Kim!!

Kungaloosh!!

I'm so sad...now what am I going to do the night before the podacst cruise?? I was planning to do Adventurer's Club...

Guess i'll finally get to play at Jellyrolls! Never been there before...but with my luck they'll close it before then too...lol

 

[kab407]

Love It Jason-Kim!!!!

But....but, weren't we going to try and get together the night before the cruise anyway? I don't know how big jellyrolls is but if its of any size at all, that would be a good place as it's not in the park (for those who don't have tickets) and its close to the Dolphin.

I was contemplating maybe meeting at the New Wave restaurant (Is that right?) since Kevin said in the review that it had a big bar area, but that would mean hoping on a MK bus and walking to the contemporary.
