They better buy before they get that little envelope under the door at the end of the cruise. That could set them back years!

That's the only bad part about the criuse is that darn little envelope!!

Seriously, how bad could it be...

Eh...Pop ain't so bad...i'd stay there! But DH has a more sophisticated taste...

Here is our plan:

May 9th: Arrive Orlando Airport taking car service to the Dolphin Hotel

May 10th: Taking Car Service to the Port for PodCast Cruise

May 14th Depart Cruise Taking Car Service to the Beach Club ...we will be at the Beach Club from May 14th - May 21st

We were going to rent a car for the entire length of our stay (13 days) but it cost well over $500 dollars and that price did not include gas, tolls, parking at the port or renting a gps... plus we would not be using the car on Disney Property anyway. We decided to go with a car service its about $310.00 for the 3 trips we need to take with the tips included....using Magical Express on the way home

Poor guy we were actually booked at the Dolphin but I canceled.

 

[ADP]

A 4 night stay at Pop is much better than a 4 night stay in this weather in Central Indiana. and a $500 gift card to boot!

Did I hear Shopping Spree!??

Happy 2,000th post

I Hope My Voicemail Is Played On The Podcast Tomorrow......

Kevin does read this right?

 

[georgemoe]

I agree using codes I was able to get a rental for May 9-10 for $37 midsize car and from May 14 -18 for $130 full size car from Budget.

That wouldn't be my $37 midsize car Pontiac G6 or equivilent?

Poor guy we were actually booked at the Dolphin but I canceled.

Why of why do you deny him the heavenly bed?

 

[LMO429]

Happy 2,000th post

Thanks! Did not even realize it was 2,000 until you pointed it out!

Alrighty...here's what i've found..

FL Tours
Transfers from the Airport to the Dolphin & back to the Airport
Towncar - $109 - up to 4 ppl
Van - $124 - up to 10 ppl
Limo - $200 - up to 9 ppl

Transfers from the Dolphin to Port Canaveral and back to the Dolphin
Towncar - $240 - up to 4 ppl
Van - $320 - up to 10 ppl
Limo - $365 - up to 9 ppl

Todd & Jen & anyone else who may be arriving in Orlando around 10am on Saturday 5/9 - if you guys are interested, we could do the van rental picking us up at the airport and taking us to the Dolphin (BWV possibly)...we would figure out how to divide that up appropriately since we wouldn't all be doing the roundtrip thing. And it does include a 30 minute grocery stop along the way...not sure if the driver chooses the place we stop or if we do...never done it before so I don't know!

For transfers to Port Canaveral and back to the Dolphin, we're open to sharing a ride with anyone!

I would imagine that we would need to book this stuff soon though, right? To avoid the mad rush of DISers?

Brandie, we'd be up for something to the Dolphin to port and back. We're going to the BWV afterwards, but it would still work. There are 4 of us.

What time are you arriving? There are a few of us considering going in on transfer services from the airport to the Dolphin and then roundtrip from the Dolphin to Port Canaveral and back to the Dolphin...We're all arriving into Orlando on 5/9 at about 10am-ish. Just thought i'd offer to you as well!

Fellow Iowans!! Well...DH is a born and bred Iowan...I was a transplant...and now we're Hoosiers!

I believe that we'll be going to AKL for our Post-Cruise stay...but we're cool with grabbing a cab to get there.

So i've got 6 right now for the Dolphin to Port Canaveral and back...
Me, DH
Madi100 & family (total of 4)

And 4 for the airport to the Dolphin...
Me, DH
Jen, DH

I think we've discussed this, but where in Iowa is your DH from?

 

[scarlett873]

I think we've discussed this, but where in Iowa is your DH from?

I think we have too...he's from Des Moines originally.

 

[Madi100]

I think we have too...he's from Des Moines originally.

Is that where you lived, too? I grew up an hour from Des Moines in a town called Jefferson.

 

[scarlett873]

I did...I lived in Des Moines from 6th grade year to the end of my sophomore year at Lincoln (would have been class of 91)! And then we moved to Arizona and eventually Indiana while DH (boyfriend at the time) stayed in Des Moines. Our paths crossed again after about 10 years and it led him to move here to Indiana to marry me!
