First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise 5/10/2009

[Disneybridein2k3]

For us it's everything Tonya said plus it's not having to come back from the ports of call early! That has mostly applied to the 7 nights we've done but we are going to stick with it for this cruise too.

We're west coasters as well...since we're only arriving the day before, it doesn't give us enough time to adjust to the three hour time difference. That's why we requested late dining. Plus, I'm on vacation darnit -- I don't want to wake up early!!!

OK, you guys have convinced me late dining is better. What time is that again? Now I just have to convince my step-mom. On the one cruise we went on together, we did early. But, she also liked to gamble after dinner, so we don't have that to do. I'll let Tracy know if I change her mind.

Thanks for the info,
Kim

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

Kim, it may not matter as I think it's just a request -- not a guarantee. Plus with the different dining rotations, we might end up in different groups anyway. If you do decide to change, I'm sure Tracy will do whatever she can to keep our group together though, so let's keep our fingers crossed!

EEEEK! It looks like Merrick will be the youngest one in the group! Gosh, I hope some other toddler-to-be families sign up! If not, please don't ostracize us! I promise Merrick will be good (for an almost 2 year old)....if not, in the locker he goes!

I have to share....I am dieting (or finally starting to really watch what I eat after more than a year of freedom due to pregnancy and such!) for our September trip and this one...I am miserable. It is just day one, too! I need a Mickey ice cream bar! I miss my ice cream! Okay, I feel a little better now.

I started a thread on the Cruise Board asking about early/late dining. I think early is best for our family. I don't consider my children young (8,11). But, I think we will enjoy being done earlier. Also, I don't like to have my dinner take hours and hours. I will like it being a bit rushed. Here's the link.

So, anyone interested in setting up a chat time? Or do you want to wait until we're closer to the date? Or do you want to have a chat time maybe once a month until we get there???

Chatting would be fun. I think once a week would be great - once a month only gives us 15 chats before the cruise.

Yay!!! Another potential new cruisefriend!

I think a chat would be fun. I don't know anyone from the DIS real well, and it would be fun to get to know each other.

That would be cool!

Mix up another pitcher of mo-gee-toes, I'm in. Or is that on board?

Got my quote today from the Tracy. Sending in the deposit. So here are the details...

Kathy - 40-something
Traveling solo. I spent the better part of an afternoon trying to explain to my Mom who Bawb was and what a podcast is after running into him at F&W. You think I'm going to attempt to get someone to come on this cruise with me? Please! I've got you guys hang with, eat with and drink with and you get it.
No special events other then, I'm on the DIS Unplugged Cruise. Hey isn't that special enough?
Late Seating - I'd love to link up with someone. I know how to use a knife, fork and napkin. I'll even let you taste my dessert.

This is going to be an experience.

AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! KAAAAATHYYYYYY! Yippee!

Congratulations for booking! That is awesome! I might be crazy for saying this, but at the rate us DIS Unplugged listeners are booking we may own the Wonder come May 10th 2009!

Scoot over, kiddo.... come sit right over here by me. I share desserts too...... and my ressie says "second" seating, is that the same as "late" seating??? I'm SO ignorant of cruising stuff........

For families trying to decide between early and late:

We happened into late seating on our first cruise and really loved it. The kids (4 and 6 at the time) would eat something in the room or on deck 9 before the show. Then they'd eat an appetizer or something quick during our dinner and then they'd beg to be taken to the clubs. We tried early seating on our next cruise but changed it after the first night. It was just cut into our afternoon too much to start getting ready for dinner so early.

We're doing late seating again on this cruise. Yes- it does cut into our consumption of the dessert/midnight buffets, but that's OK.

i just looked at the list of people going on the cruise....AMAZING!!!!
and that list isn't even complete (i know at least one other couple going, who's not on that list)...
it's true, we might own the wonder by the time the cruise rolls around...
but even with just the current people reserved, it's going to be pretty darn fun.....

i can't wait....

Thank you! I figure we can tag team Will. He'll never know what hit him.
