First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise Take Three

Those are pretty good prices. The one thing I like a bout SW is 2 checked bags. Their baggage policy is so liberal. You should have seen the size of some of those carry ons. The SW agents didn't bat and eye. That's really important for an over packer like me!

This is good for you - otherwise that second bag of shoes could get pretty pricey!!

Never. I got stuck at Detroit airport last night. Is that any where near you?

Yea, you should have called, I could have picked up you for a night on the town. Todd is pretty close to there also.

I got a good price from PIT to MCO, $79. MCO to PIT is another story. $178, ouch. But it is on a Sunday and at mid-day. Maybe there will be a price decrease or a Ding in the future. I just couldn't wait anymore to book the plane. If there is a savings in the next 2 or 3 months, I can use that for my Mousefest trip.

BWI-MCO is $119 each way. I can't stop thinking about the $34 dings we got once and how we grumbled at $79 in October so stubbornly I refuse to book at $119.

[A.Mickey]

Go TODD!!!

 

[sandyh67]

Dear Kim,

Relax! All will be ok. The approximate time the shuttle leaves the resort is between 11 and 12. Hope this helps!

You're welcome,

Tracy

OK, I have a question, our last Disney cruise was 2002! How early can we get on the ship? We are driving, so would like to be early/ avoid the crowd at the terminal/ and maybe be the first ones on?? Not that I am compulsive or anything

 

[sandyh67]

Hey guys!

We had to cancel our reservations the other day. It was a hard decision to make, but with budget cuts in education, my job is in line to get cut also my DS8 has a lot of medical problems and it just wasn't the right time to be away from him, he is getting ready to start some new medications and therapy and it is not cheap...

So it with tears in my eyes that I have to write this and let you know we wont be going.

But I do know you guys will have fun and we will hear all about it.

I am so sorry Kim! We will miss you I hope your son does well, you certainly need to put that first!

You won't be first on no matter when you get there. The first on is the family of the cruise. Then comes concierge. Then they start boarding based on number of when you arrived.

You cannot park in the lot until at least 10 am and possibly 10:30 am.

Does this mean we need to to make a flat Kim???

That's exactly what I was thinking! You may not be there in the flesh, Kim, but you'll definitely be there.

 

[DLBDS]

The first on is the family of the cruise.

Can you explain, AskTracy?

We are renting, so will need to go to budget first, drop off the car and be transported to the terminal. We are also planning on having b-fast will some friends who will be at WDW then- the buffet at YC?? anyway, we are meeting them at 8:30. What time do us normal people in steerage get to start boarding

 

[winotracy]

I don't know if they still do it but during the Year of a Million Dreams one family was chosen as the family of the cruise. They were allowed to board first and got special treatment during the cruise. They were randomly chosen.

They do not board the ship by category, except that concierge gets to board first. After that it is dependent on when you arrived at the terminal. You will not be allowed in the terminal before 10 am.

Given the recent turn of events regarding randomly chosen people for awesome things, if still have this "Family of the Cruise", it will most certainly will be a Dis'er, right Tracy???

I get the feeling this is going to be a race, who will be the first Podcast Cruiser on the ship?

I guess then we know who will be the first DISer's on the ship; Pete, Walter, John and Kevin since they have the Roy and Walt suites.

I'm closer to Detroit City Airport than I am to Detroit Metro, but both with a reasonable distance. Did that little bit of snow ground your plane?
