[dpuck1998]

Hi Anna!

Interesting Chat tonight.

Do tell....or maybe you did already

 

[dpuck1998]

Puck! That was incredible! Did you draw up that full court pick and roll?

I bet you went nuts!

I can't take credit for it, I suggested the barking dog!

Morning all!! I haven't read what I missed from last night, but as soon as I launched my browser this morning, this was the lead story:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/wor...tingray-thats-FIVE-TIMES-weight.html?ITO=1490

It made me think of Jamie.

Off to catch up. Hearts.

I saw that story first thing too - except the thing weighed 800# - creeped me the hell out, I'll tell you...

Hey Anne you made it to chat! Did spinning class end early?

My DH was watching 24 when I got home. I thought he would want to start watching Lost right away so I have 30 minutes to spare.

I could not keep up in chat last night. Usually I do ok, but I was completely lost last night.

Chat is tonight! Who's going to join in the fun?

I got in right around 10pm and missed most of it. So what did I miss?

Someone pages and pages ago (or maybe threads and threads ago) asked what beers were available on tap on the ship. No one here knew the answer. I just found the following post on the DCL Board here - for all of the beer lovers:

Thank you Dodie - THANK YOU! So now I have the draft beers covered. Now to find out bottles.

Looks like I'll be bringing 24 Elsinore....

Now, the mug thing, that may be interesting.
for the price of 3 beers, I get a mug that will hold MORE BEER than a pint.
I'll get my moneys worth back by dinner, day 1.

C'mon now John. Surely you can drink Sam Adams? Is Elsinore a pilsner or ale? I'm not familiar.

I see my Guinness but no Harp?!? No Cider? How will I get Black & Tans or Snakebites?

Get 6 pack of Harp for Jason.

I know it's Wednesday (Show is up and Chat is in a few).

Someone please tell me that tomorrow will magically be Friday. Please? The past few days have been rough.

OK - today is Friday! (If you happen to have tomorrow off.)

Another sucky week of terrible singers so far on AI.

I'm glad we had this Tivo'd Paul. Absolutely terrible.

Tomorrow is my friday, heading up north for a ski weekend on friday and not coming back until Monday! Whoohoo

Sounds like a good time Puck! Have fun.

For anyone that missed the chat link

That was outstanding Don. Thanks for sharing.

Take my DIS husband, PLEASE!

Someone is having an episode.

The whole Red Green reference got me searchin.

Those are great John.

Aaron, this is almost exactly what were are going to do. Except, after lunch, we are going to get off the ship and check out Nassau.

as per the instructions of an extremely intelligent and witty podcaster...

That IS exactly what we are doing......hmmmm...Im guessing we got the idea from the same extremely intelligent and witty podcaster??

Ok, so obviously I can't be away from here a half day without missing something. What is happening Monday AM Nassua day?

I keep going back and forth between getting a town car/limo to the port and driving the rental car. Right now I'm in the rental car frame of mind...we shall see.

I couldn't imagine you leaving the house without doing that.

I am planning on renting and parking. I think the $60 parking fee is acceptable so I can just walk off the ship and not have to worry about getting to the rental car place and waiting in line. I also may leave some stuff in the trunk (like dirty clothes or clothes that I won't be taking on board) so it will act like a locker. I won't be leaving anything meltable. The Florida sun gets mighty warm.

 

[pershing]

I'm renting a car too. Although Budget is atrocious right now for coming back from the port.

I ended up getting a great deal for that using the Magicard code with Dollar on the Orlandoinfo dot com website. However, the Transportation board has some awful stories about the Cape Canaveral Dollar office. I hope they've improved!

I'm still gonna try priceline last minute though to see if I can swing an awesome deal! It's the only gambling I'm into. Come on lucky $10 a day!!!!

If you're looking for Town cars, FL Tours that sponsors the Transportatin Board has always had great feedback. I've never seen a complaint about them at all. (and they'll stop at the grocery store if you want.)

I believe Disney's Transfers costs $35 per person, (one way) or $69 per person (roundtrip) to take the Disney bus between a Disney resort and Port Canaveral, or between the Orlando airport and Port Canaveral.

Personally, I've never used Disney's Transfers to the port. I prefer to traumatize my oldest DS, which apparently I did our first rental car trip to Port Canaveral when I thought we were lost, and was doing some creative driving while looking at the map. He was only 8 then. He's always telling me how much he loves Magical Express, and every trip his first question is always, "Are we renting a car?" Poor child! He's 14 now and the memory still lingers....I didn't think I was driving that bad!

I went back and forth with this decision ALOT after much debating We decided to rent a car...We are going to be in Florida for 2 weeks with the cruise included during that time. To rent an economy size car it was going to cost us over $500 dollars and that did not include the $$ we would have spent to park it at the pier which would have been another $60 dollars for us and that figure with gas would have been around $600 buck for the ,2 weeks (we do not need the car at disney we never had a problem with using the disney buses are are takign magical express home)

anyway the round trip cost for car service to and from the port was about $215.00 without a tip....its a little pricey but wound up being cheaper than getting a car for us. ...I think the disney shuttle is 75.00 per person

I am renting and staying at the Radisson the night before. They offer free parking and a free shuttle to port.

I did this our last cruise and loved it. Also make sure there is no food at all in your car. The ants can be really bad.

I am hoping for a Hotwire deal too. I keep checking about every week.

Disney transfers are $35 one way, $69 roundtrip to and from the airport only. If you do roundtrip and they include a Disney Resort or the Swan/Dolphin on either end, they price it at two one way trips or $70.
