First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise 5/10/2009

[Madi100]

I made my deposit today, and we are officially booked! Can't wait to go. I wish I didn't have to make the decision of early or late dining, because I'm the most indecisive person in the world. I opted for late. Hope that was the right choice. We are very, very excited!!!

Yea!!! Don't be nervous about your dining choice...it's all good!

Do you think so? Are my kids too young to eat that late? What is the time zone difference?

Madi- My DS will be 9 and my DD will be 11 for the cruise. We did late seating back when they were 5/7. Most of the time they'd eat in the room before the show and then have something small w/ us in the dining room or go to the kids activities. It worked out GREAT.

I saw that, and you were one of the reasons that I decided to go with the later. I thought the later looked appealing but with my kids I thought they were too young. I was thinking that it would be nice if we could have one meal to ourselves, though. Our kids are about the sames ages. Thanks for the advice.

Anyone notice we have 25 rooms listed in post one right now? Anyone else want to add to the list?

Tracy,

Could you change my dining listing?

Thanks,

Okay . . . I'm really starting to reconsider and might go on the cruise - solo. I knew DH wouldn't be interested and DS8 will be in school so DH really needs to stay home and take care of him . I really don't have any girlfriends that would want to go on a cruise with their spouses. Personally, I love to travel alone - I just thought it seemed a little pricey for just a few days of fun.

How many solo'ers are going? Will the Podcast Group (the Team and us) have the same dining times? It is really starting to sound like fun . . . I am just afraid I might get the guilties when I see all the children and parents having such great "family" time.

I'm sure those of us coming w/ the family will be happy to toss the kids in a locker...um, kids club...and hang out with the solo'ers and kidless!

I'm not solo anymore, my step mom is coming along, but no kids with us. We will be having adult fun.

There's quite a few solos(5 listed, and many more still making the decision) and child-free people going. I'm leaving the cranky teens at home, although I have to bring the cranky DH. But him, I plan on lockering if he misbehaves.

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 . . .

That certainly would be a different kind of Disney Cruise!!!

My DW and I have never cruised before, but would really like to do this one after meeting the DIS podcast team in December and listening to Pete's description of all the activities. What category would we have to book to get a stateroom with a "porthole" and above sealevel?

Thanks for any help from you experienced cuisers.

Rather than type this out....check here for stateroom descriptions.

AMAZING!! The list seems to be growing rapidly. What's even more amazing the list includes 3 Aarons. What am I to do!? I've never been around a group with so many Aarons. Something tells me a nametag may not help.

Thanks, Kevin! This is great info. I will have to show DW so we can decide how much we want to splurge. After the December meet at the Dolphin, I am certain this will be a great trip. Will you be doing any restaurant reviews while on board?

And I think there are at least 3 Kims. I'm used to it though. We used to have 4 Kims in the office I work in. And my one class in high school had 3 of us as well. With the last names of Barron, Barker and Parker. Confusion reigned.

I am one of the solos in the group. No need to feel guilty. I'm sure there will be a large group of us hanging at the adult pool sucking down moo-gee-toes and watching Bawb drive by a Kaht Kahm. So pass your glass. I'm sure Tracy and Kevin can link our reservations together so that us solos can sit together or join others.

Disney? Swingers?
