From WDW to DL With Love - January 06, 2011 part 3

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

For those of you who have done the past PC cruises and/or other "special" longer than 7 night DCL cruises, do they still have only one character meal for the whole cruise (Mickey's breakfast) or are there other character meals since its a longer cruise? Just curious...

In 2008 - we only had the one character breakfast. We really enjoyed it but just the one chance

Sorry about not being more sure. It really does not affect the department I work in, so I really did not get all the details. If needed I can look into it.

No problem - it doesn't pertain to your duties so I understand completely about you not knowing all the details. But if you do happen to find out, we'd love to know. I'll see if I can find out as well. I'll post if I do.

Something to keep in mind when using Disney ground transportation on Jan 6th. Unless they have changed it, the bus does not pick up at all the resorts. Better check to make sure.

Wha?? why not??

Nicole, I haven't stayed at Caribean Beach, but have stayed in both the Mansions and Aligator Bayou at Riverside. The Mansions are very romantic and AB is lots more family oriented, so it might be a better choice for you and your brother.

on all of our cruises longer than 7 nights their has been only one Character Breakfast. I have never been as I do not wake up for breakfast.

Last I knew they only did not pick up from the value resorts, but I have hear that has changed and the now pick up from all resorts.

I have a $160 credit thanks to $35 airfare sale for Oct. Going to use it for Jan on the way home. I was told by my TA that only KV and BLT do not have pick up. You must go to Contemp or Animal Kingdom Lodge. From 2010 they pick up at all the values.

Just the breakfast, though we missed it completely as we didn't know anything about it or read about it on our dining 'ticket' Our table mates just mentioned it in the evening that they had been!!!

Hi everyone,

We are looking forward to the cruise so much!
Me and DH and son Max aged 9. The kids club sounds so much fun.

I had a surprise when I checked 'who is going' and found out that there was another family in the stateroom that Disney said we had!! Hopefully it will get sorted out!

It is cold here in Sydney, Australia.!!

 

[LindaBabe]

Good Morning, Happy Cruisers!

Welcome aboard, new people!

Syddis, if you booked a cat 12, 11 or 10, sometimes the early bookers get an upgrade and the room becomes available again.

Good Morning and welcome new cruisers!

As far as the pick up from BLT, they share all transportation with the Contemporary. They are really the same resort. BLT is just a DVC offshoot.

ok, all the yard sale stuff is moved to the garage - let the rains begin! We don't have very much but the highlight is an LLBean tent that I hope VERY much sells! Tomorrow, it's supposed to be nice - my fingers are crossed.

Who else is staying at BLT the night before? We'll be there (all 10 of us). If anyone wants to stop by and have a glass of wine with us, let me know

Just a yard sale tip for the tent. I have seen many tents at yard sales and have even been tempted to buy-but they are always rolled up in a box or bag. If I don't know what the tent looks like, I can't buy it. Set up your tent and you have a much better chance at selling it.

Hope you make some cruise money at your sale.

Happy Friday everyone! Long week here but I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend. No swimming for the pups tomorrow - sounds like there will be quite a rainstorm.

Linda - good luck with the yard sale! What a job - without the rain.

to our new cruisers. We are going to have an awesome time.

 

[tlungstrum]

Finally caught up on all the reading I missed on vacation, you guys were busy! Tomorrow we plan on heading to the passholder/DVC sale at World of Disney then to the Contemporary for a celebration / sales pitch for the Hawaii resort, then off to IKEA for shopping and some lunch. Phew, I'm tired just thinking about it all.

Anyone else have plans? Good luck with the yard sale, hope you don't get rained on.

Hi all,

I'm try8iig to be back now, other than the couple little things i've posted. It's been a bad few weeks. My father went down hill really fast and i lost him 2 weeks ago tomorrow. I'm so sad all the time, and have to remind myself that he had a long and mostly good life, with some really sad times (lost both sons and a wife, and a second wife to alzheimers) and some great times - 6 doting grandchildren and several doting stepgrand and great grand children. And while planning the funeral and running to the funeral directors and such my almost 13 year old car blew up. and then my air conditioning (house) did the same (in this record heat wave). Did the funeral, bought a new car, got the a/c fixed (uner warranty - yeah!!), and now i have poison ivy all over my face and arms. sigh. not a minute to breathe. I'm so proud of my children and neices and how they helped us through this and how they handled themselves.

oh the up side, i've almost gotten caught up with the threads. I can't think well enough to figure out FE gifts for it. I dont know if i will do it now. Maybe time will help. I can't figure out what to start thinking of it. Maybe its too soon, though i could use the vacation now! I can't beleive 6 months from now i'll be cruising!

So i'll be asking stupid FE questions soon as i'll be doing estate stuff too and dont want to wait till last minute but want to decide if i'm doing it. my brain is all mush. so i'll apologize in advance and say thanks too!

ok, need to go now. Take care, have a good weekend, and if you're in this heat wave, stay cooool. (Here in maryland it's supposed to be over 102 tomorrow).

Good luck with the garage sale, Linda.

Jenn, Carly and I are staying at BLt starting Jan. 2. Joe will be joining us the night before the cruise.

We're planning a quiet weekend at home. Joe's only here for less than 48 hours and we spent the last two weekends running around. Carly's got to catch up on school. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Tammy, how nice it must be to live so close to WDW! I would love being able to go anytime!

As far as weekend plans, we are considering going to see Despicable Me. I really hadn't planned on seeing it based on the previews but so many people have commented on how good it is. Tomorrow night, hubby and I have a going away/birthday party for his boss that we need to go to. Sunday, don't know what we got going on but DH is off so we'll just enjoy having him home. It's not very often he gets 2 day off in a row!
