Here is a good place to start - just drop Jim a note and I believe he will be able to help you ok?

Let me know if it works out or not and if not, will try a few others.

Jim has been in the charting business for quite sometime so he should be able to help you

Thanks, Shirley. The Seniors are doing all the research for their trip, but I am overseeing the activities committee, so I knew that you would be a great resource. I'll let you know if they follow through...Kids!

Hello schoonersky - I haven't heard of this company, but I did call them and to tell you the truth, I was very impress with the owner's wife Cari who is a partner. Her husband's name is Jerry.

They offer "door to door" service such as they will track your flight in case of any delays or early arrivals, they do have a sign with your name on it so you will recognize your driver, the luggage is handled carefully - they thrive in giving their customers you personlized service.

Thank you! Their price is very reasonable so I'm going to book with them. Four weeks today until departure....

OMG I can tell you this, they will never be anything like you have in Nova Scotia - I will share mine with you if you will share some of yours with me

OK down to reality - the Christmas trees will be about 24" and made of boxwood also decorated or be will be carring the artifical tree that can be taken off - those come with the greens with is holly OMG I forgot - guess I will wait to get to the office to finish this

Well guess reality has finally set it - the wind is howling outside the window, stuck my head out the door to see how cool it was and my final decision is that I am NOT going to enjoy the cold weather being back - When I look at it all as a whole, life is good COLD WEATHER OR NOT
Group hugssssssssssssssssss to everybody

Since there does not seem to be a place to put general tips and since I cannot seem to start a new thread - one tip to share for cruisers. From a long time Disney Cruiser - because there is limited space to put items like toothpaste, lotions, razors, etc. - is to get a shoe tree to hang over the bathroom door. The shoe tree is plastic with clear plastic pockets - normally used for shoes. However they make a great holder for all the small items that we like to get to quickly - and they fold up easily for storage.

I rather stay with the rain and the reason being, we will be going down into the low 40's so its going to be COLD AND DAMP - great weather for getting something - I know most folks come here and feel great after leaving super big time cold weather, Norm and I just never get use to it
Have a great time on your vacation.
ENJOY

I will make sure to add a place for tips - I thought I had a link, but it could have broken - anyhow thanks so much for taking the time to let the cruisers know - you gotta love these folks that do so much to help so many

Thanks again for sharing

Is the info on shipping a box to your cabin ahead of time still valid? Anyone have any recent experiences or info?

Thanks in advance!

Just wondering if anyone has stayed at the International Palms resort in Cocoa Beach lately?
We're looking to spend 2 nights at the beach before we go on our cruise. The kids pool area looks great and it does say they have a park/cruise rate. I'm just a little worried as on tripadvisor it says it's undergoing renovations.

Yes, it is till current. Make sure there is NO food or beverages in there or the dogs will find it. Ours arrived and was in our room waiting when we got to our room.

Thank you very much!
We are not cruising til October but I'm thinking we should probably book our park/cruise package soon. Hoping to lock in at a lower price before the place starts taking off due to popularity from the renovations
