First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise Five Alive

[chirurgeon]

Anyone booking Palo dinner? What day? Nassau, Castaway Cay or Sea day? Or sail day even? I'm thinking about Nassau day, around 8...

I am going to try and get Palo any night I can. I think I would prefer Wednesday night. I wish we could know which day we are going to do the Palo brunch, I would prefer to have the Palo meals on different days. But I am fairly certain Disney won't have told the Podcast team which day we are having our wonderful brunch.

I'm hoping we have the brunch on the sea day, otherwise I won't be able to eat Palo twice in one evening, I might explode!

I also got the Keys to the Kingdom Tour for that morning - should be a BUSY day, I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

Well that totally sucks...
All that time and the best we could get was a lake view.
We bought enough points so we could have a magic kingdom view.
Then told no.

I'm sorry that you didn't get your Magic Kingdom view. I have a feeling that those will be the hardest to get during popular travel times and maybe even during unpopular times. I do not own at BLT but I'm sure I will have the chance to stay there. Especially since I will be looking to get the highly covered standard view. I will trying to switch my October BWV to BLT next month. I'm not getting my hopes up though. When something is new everybody wants to try it.

 

[tickledtink33]

Sorry to hear that.

After 2:30 I finally got through and switched my Oct SSR 2BR to THV's!

Congrats! I would love to try the THV but I usually travel as a party of one. I think that would be a colossal waste of my points. I will have to live vicariously through others.

I was outside enjoying the weather today. Went for a jog/walk with DP and the doggies. We are all plum tuckered out. Gonna sleep well tonight!!

I just came back from doing the same. It is warm today. The temp is 44 and 39 with windchill. I did 3 miles in 39 minutes. This was the first time I have timed myself in a long time. I broke a sweat so that was good. I have a long way to go for the 1/2 marathon.

Sorry you did not get the MK view!

Well, last night was interesting. Just as we were turning out the lights at 11:30, the carbon monoxide detector goes off. It had gone off a few weeks ago and we had the whole crew here, firefighters with the big truck, paramedics with their big rescue truck and the gas company. Other than a tiny leak in the gas pipe leading to the hot water heater (no hot water for that weekend), they couldn't find anything that caused the detector to go off. There was no reason for it to go off last night, we hadn't cooked (got chinese for dinner, it was really good), since it had been so warm yesterday the furnace hadn't been kicking on and the car hadn't been running for 6 hours previous, so no fumes from the garage. We figured it was a faulty detector. We went to bed with our bedroom windows open just in case(good thing I like it cool when I sleep) Not that I really slept. I got a lovely migraine from the worry and lack of sleep. Went to Home Depot and got a new detector at 8:30 and installed it right away. 3 hours and no alarm.



I NEED A CRUISE, NOW.

Anticipation.

Kim

I would have been pretty freak out! Thank goodness everything is Ok!

 

[aspen37]

Wahoo!!! I got post 1000!!!

I'm trying to decide if I want to do Kona Cafe on the 9th. That is my favorite restaurant. LOVE IT! The girls will want to be in the parks as much as possible, so I'm not sure what we'll do.

The Podcast group brunch will not be on the day at sea, I can tell you that much.

Hey Jamie and Shelly,

Keep an eye on your AirTran flight. They are notorious for changing your flight time. If they do change your flight time, even if it's only a 5 min difference, you can change your flight at no cost.

After reading this, it's been in the back of my mind as my flight leaves 22 minutes earlier now (actually the change is better for me as my previous connection time was only 42 minutes ). I heard the wisdom of Bawb: "they can't hit you" so I decided to call and see if I could cancel my flight and get it refunded back to my credit card. The flight I booked had dropped in price, but paying the $75 change fee negated any savings. I phoned just now and the agent happily credited back my cc within 2 minutes! Then I re-booked the same flight on-line and saved $68 for my flight next month to Disneyland.

Alicia, YOU ROCK!! Thx a mint for the tip!

cheers,

After listening to this week's podcast, Phillip (DH) and I decided to do something we've always talked about doing. We got an ADR this morning for the early (5:00 p.m.) show of the Hoop-Dee-Doo Review on Saturday, 5/9. That will still give us plenty of time to make it over to the Poly by 9:00 for our little DIS party.[\QUOTE]

I've been toying with and torn by that idea too. I was wondering if I could make the 7:15 show and make it to Poly but I don't think that will be enough time.

We'll only have 1 day to do MK this trip so I had to decide - eat or play. We don't usually do buffets but with the raves about Tusker House I think we'll have lunch there one day and then there's the Cape May breakie, and with all the feasting on the ship, I think I've decided that HDDR will have to wait for our next trip

Have a fab time at HDDR!

cheers,

Darn, guess I'll try to book Palo that day then. Thanks Tracy!

Hi Gang,

I have a question about the ADRs that everyone was making today. I haven't been through all the pages on this thread, but I kind of following along on FaceBook.

Do I need to make any ADRs for our family for the planned meals we have or did all of you make ADRs for 10 people? As of now I had Todd put us down for Cape May Breakfast and the Tusker House breakfast. Do I need to call Disney Dining?

For Cape May, if you signed up on that thread then the reservation has been made for you - you've become part of the Borg Collective of mass reservations. For more info on it, refer to that thread - there's an update on post #1. If you haven't signed up for the CM breakfast yet on that thread, then it's not too late to do so. We'll still have room for you.

cheers,

Because we had 4 people we made our own and are hoping something can be done when we get there to be close to the collective.......I mean other Disers.

Can you link ADR's????
