*May 26, 2012 - Mickey's Memorial Day Fantasy*

[poohs4me]

We were sitting on our balcony at BLT at about 11:30 today and 2 DCL busses pulled up and loaded people on to go to the Dream. Only 233 days and that will be us. Can't wait.

It makes me both sad and super excited to see the DCL buses when we are at WDW. Excited because it is DCL but sad because I cannot be on it.

We have never actually used DCL transportation to the port only from the port. Once we were going to WDW using Magical express and we got a DCL bus - My DH was very irritated by the end of the bus ride.

We will be taking the DCL bus. We are not sure where we are staying yet. leaning toward one of the value resorts.

 

[hoovpac55]

we are staying either saratoga or beach club since we are dvc members

 

[Strawberry's mom&dad]

We are coming a couple of days early with DD and her BFF and then coming back for a week at BLT by ourselves after the cruise. We're out of points so we're waiting for the AP rates to reach May. We will be taking ME to the pre resort then DCL bus to port . After we'll take DCL bus back to BLT and then ME to MCO.We'll see how that goes.

We should be taking the bus from the Beach Club Villas.

Ok I should say we are staying at the Beach Club Villas, but we havent decided if we are taking the bus to the port.

We will not. We prefer to rent a car and I found an ok deal from Avis.

I am not sure where we will stay either. First I thought at the port and now DD said she wants to go to either WDW or Universal the day before. So who knows. If I can get a good rate, we will stay on property at either.

I am pretty sure we will be taking the DCL bus to the airport on our return.

 

[hoovpac55]

we are prob staying at beach club also and taking bus

I just made our reservations yesterday for May 17 - 25 for a stay at the Villas @ Wilderness Lodge (DVC members also!!) and we will be taking the ME from the airport to the lodge. But since we are going to the port the evening before the cruise we will be renting a car and I usually get it from Avis. My plan is to stay at the Beachfront La Quinta and we will enjoy dinner @ Fishlips. Either by ourselves or with any of the group that happens to be there when we are!!!

Since I lost my Mom to cancer this summer this trip will be the first time DH & I have been totally by ourselves at WDW and on a cruise since she has been with us on each of our previous cruises plus our DD was on the last one we went on also.
I may need a running buddy on the cruise since my DH loves to just sit on our verandah and watch the ocean pass by and I like to do a lot of the various activities that are offered (Mom did all that with me and I really will miss that).
