First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise 5/10/2009

[kab407]

Well, I did it! I pulled the trigger last night and DD and I will be on the Podcast Cruise! I haven't told her yet because she's only 7 now (will be 8 on the cruise) and that would be toooo long a wait for her. She'd ask me everyday, are we going yet, are we going yet?? So, I might tell her this coming Christmas or shortly after.

I'm very excited. And actually, I can thank the US Congress for our ability to go. That tax rebate thing is going to pay the majority of it! Hey, I'm adding to the economy aren't I??

So, see you in 15 months... Hmmm I wonder how formal is formal night? Can I wear jeans in the dining room?

Welcome! Pass your glass and join us in a moogeetoe!

Formal night...hmmmmmm....something to think about......

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

Can I wear jeans in the dining room?

Sure you can, as long as they're under that lovely prom gown you had redesigned!

Seriously, it's been awhile since we were on DCL but from what I remember formal night was pretty much up to the individual how "fancy" they wanted to get. Everything from long formals to the basic little black dress.

 

[DisneyBride'03]

Yeah!!! Though that's not exactly the way I heard it I'm impressed by you ladies all getting your ways (Diana, Fiona....)

Don't be too impressed...DH and I had a "discussion" this morning....I am feeling badly now...he reminded me how we have DVC and a season site in a campground in WI...I shouldnt be spending MORE $$ for addtional vacations!

oh, our long awaited, dinner date tonight sans kids should be wonderful!

We were just on the Magic in November and you're right, dress up night/formal night is everything from the fanciest of fancy to the little black cocktail dress and everyone looks great. I don't think I even pack jeans for a cruise anyway... too hot and too heavy. I'm more of the capri or linen pant type.

Excellent news

I've been checking out the room service menus on the DCL thread and can safely say I'll be gaining at least 20 lbs. on the cruise!

 

[ramjr0116]

My wife and I are in...although she doesn't know yet! I love to surprise her!
Tracy, you can put our info in:
ramjr0116, Pat and Bob, First, 6th Anniversary on May 25th (close enough!)

Welcome Bob and Pat.

Let us know how you plan on surprising her. A pitcher of moogeetoes may be a start.

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

Thanks to Bob we're up to 40 cabins now!!!

Tracy -- I'm curious, do you know the highest number of cabins that have even been booked for a DU group cruise? Whatever it was...we have to beat it!

I'd be curious too. Whatever the final number will be come May 2009, one thing is for sure; the Podcast crew is going to have one heck of a studio audience for the podcast show on the Wonder.

 

[winotracy]

That's a difficult question. Are you asking if this is more rooms that we have on any given sailing? Or more rooms that are in the group space? I haven't been here since DU started so I don't have as much history on this.

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

I guess it would be hard to answer. I was just curious if DU had done a specialty cruise like this in the past and how many cabins were booked on that one vs. the Unplugged cruise. Not that it really matters...

I think this is the first (Kevin correct me if I am wrong). Personally, I'd like to see a record number for any cruise date, regardless of whether they are in a group or not.

 

[house of the mouse]

I really really want to go on the pod cruise but my DH thinks It's to expensive. We have DVC membership. Anyone want to help me talk him into it. He's warpdarkmatter on the boards. HELP!!!

 

[OKW Lover]

Of the podcast crew, I only see Kevin & John on the list on page 1. Is there anybody else from the crew that is going to be on the cruise?

 

[UrsulasShadow]

They said they're all coming.

The cruise isn't until May 2009. You have a lot of time to save for it. I think Kevin mentioned if you put $5.80 per day away until the podcast cruise you would be able to pay for it in full. I think that is motivation and justification enough to go!

Tell him to rent your points on the Rent/Trade board and then y'all come on the cruise! I think there's a post from John somewhere showing how that comes out to be a pretty good deal.

You know, Disney Cruise Line is a bit more expensive that other cruiselines, but the quality of the services on board as well as the food and family-friendly activites is head and shoulders above the rest. And really, if you were to price things out as far as room, board, transporation, activites, etc. it's really a pretty good deal...plus you'll be with all of us, which is of course priceless!!!

It's been awhile since we've been on the Wonder, but as I recall, it's not nearly as 'formal' as the Magic. The navigators list it as 'dress-up night' on the Wonder and as 'formal night' on the Magic. I'm all for a night where you can put on a nice dress, but I thought it was a PITA to pack formal gowns/tuxes (although DS-5 looked too stinkin' cute in his teeny tux) when we were on a 7 night.
