First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise 5/10/2009

[Madi100]

Now up to 45 rooms (listed), at least 102 people plus Pete/Walter, Bawb/Dianer, Will/Precious

We're getting a majority going.... Let's take the Wonder to AUSTRALIA!! I love those people!

I'm surprised there aren't more kids going. Mine will be there, but we are really hoping the like the kid decks.

Had to dig out today from tons of snow. Spring can't come soon enough. Unfortunately we still have one more winter before this cruise but at least at this time next year we'll be a lot closer to the cruise. Now can't wait til spring!

I'm going on a cruise, I'm going on a cruise!

DIS Name - Names - Dining - (Kids Ages) - Celebrations

CarolynNC - Carolyn (bet you couldn't see that coming) - second - empty nester - first cruise

I'm really excited. It's a good thing I have an October trip to the World to look forward to or I'd be pulling my hair out. I've been wanting to take a cruise for years but have never been able to get anyone else interested. In the last few years I've been thinking of doing a solo cruise. This cruise will probably be ideal for a solo traveler. I'm almost as excited about the great rate at the Dolphin. I've always wanted to stay at the Swan/Dolphin but always 'cheap' out.

Welcome Carolyn. You made a very good choice for your first cruise. I"m also traveling solo on this one. Hard to be solo when your with 100+ of your new DIS friends. Pass you glass, have a moogeetoe!

I am pretty sure ds (12 at the time) will be coming with us. We have to talk to him about it before we add him for sure!

For any females traveling solo that is looking for a cabinmate to split the cost with, PM me. I have a friend who wants to go but is already going solo on a cruise we are taking this October. She doesn't post here and I honestly don't think she even knows what a podcast even is but she is very sweet and a real Disney fan (very easy to get along with too - she lets me plan all of her Disney vacations!) I'd invite her into our room but a third person isn't exactly the most romantic way to celebrate our anniversary We will invite her to stay with us at the Dolphin though if that is a problem. Anyway, she'll either be 39 or 40 when we sail and like I said, very easy going. I know she does not have a problem with an inside stateroom. Let me know if anyone is interested...

edited to add: thanks for any interest, but my friend Tracey has found a podcast friend Kathy to cruise with. Sorry it took me so long to update this post!

 

[winotracy]

Good think I check the numbers sometimes! Seems that Corey and/or Julie added their information to the first post but didn't update the numbers. Everything is good now

Welcome, Carolyn!! Fear not- plenty of No-Kid-ers going!! I'm bringing my own empty-nester... You're gonna have a ball!!

And the first moe-gee-toe is free...

kim I LOVE your idea! Oh, and do they serve drinks??

I had a wild idea. If there are a bunch of us at the Dolphin the night before the cruise, would we fill one of the buses they use for the transfers to the port? It might be fun for all of us to be on one bus. Tracy, how many people do those buses hold?

Ahem...why is "or" an option?

 

[concept5123]

deposit down and now all we have to do is wait ....i just cant wait for more info about the fun stuff...

 

[disneyholic family]

well my sister and mom found out about the cruise - i planned on surprising them with it next year.

so it will actually be me, my sister and my mom (rather than me and hubbie).

But for the time being, i'm leaving the names as they are on the reservation..

but it will be girls night out - for 4 days....

i have two rooms reserved, but really the second room is in case my kids decide to come along (they're big kids - 23 and 21)...

my mom, sister and I will be in a one bedroom suite, so there will be plenty of room for the 3 of us in there...

my sister and mom have never been on a disney cruise, and they tend to be somewhat anti-disney, so i hope this cruise is stupendous!!! otherwise i'll never hear the end of it...

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm looking forward to the cruise. As to my drink choice, I'm more of a Newcastle Ale type gal although I do like an occasional mixed drink or glass of white wine.

Ya'll have a great day. I've got to get to work. I need to earn the money to pay for my leisure pursuits.

 

[tmli]

I finally did it!! I listened to my first podcast....dh sat me down last night and we listened to the whole show!

I am sure it will take me a bit to learn the different personalities and get all of the "inside jokes".....I will consider it research for the cruise!

 

[cdnmickeylover]

Congrats Tracey! Won't take too long to get hooked on it.

winotracy... story?

 

[georgemoe]

New to DIS and the podcasts. DW and I are still reviewing details for our May 08 trip and now you people go and suck me into a cruise for May 09.

Seriously, just finished reading ALL 50 PAGES and I'm hooked. If it happens this will be our first cruise. What better way than to wet it on DCL! (That sounded funny. )

I'm off to get a quote. Hope we join this great group!

Before one of our previous cruises, we used one of those "find your pirate name" websites. You plug in information and get a name. That's mine
