November 3, 2012 - Election Escape Eastern!!

[tastefullyjenn]

As the ONE YEAR mark approaches I'm getting really excited!

What are you guys doing with your time right now (DON'T SAY PLANNING A SOONER CRUISE!)

We are :
1. pondering whether to stay at MCO or the port the night before--leaning on the latter.
2. squirreling away money
3. becoming obsessed with 2013 magic/wonder speculationsh
4. trying really hard to squeeze in a last minute WDW trip --wait that's in direct conflict with #2!

hi fellow cruiser,
just a little food for thought, i was going thur some old cruise information,
and we cruised the same week several, several, years ago. We called the group

'election day castaways".
This is just a suggestion for a name of our cruise group.
Muffin07

our cruise in 2008 was called that!
Sounds good, i can reuse my signs!

Must of been on the same cruise back in 2008, I have to check with my daughter-in-law as she remembers some of the folks with sailed with. She went by the user name of buglady.

5. (planning an Alaskan cruise in June 2012)

cool, cruisin' so close together! Alaska's on our list someday, I hope to pick your brain after your trip!

How'd you decide to stay at MCO? We are 80% certain we'll go to the port but would love to hear the thought process for you!

pretty much its because we usually fly in after work on Friday so we get in on the late side and the thought of any more travel is abhorrent to me at that point! LOL. MCO is comfortable, Sulley is a frequent traveler for work so he often stays at Hyatt so he gets points and we often get a free room or at least an upgrade. So other places have never really entered our thought processes!

Makes perfect sense! I think we're headed in mid-day and might swing by DTD on the way. All depends on what flights are good deals, I guess!

1. We love MCO too.

3. Really want to hear the new schedule too.

4. Uh...going soon Sorry)

4. Are you doing WDW as a separate trip than you turkey day cruise? good on YOU! just a little jealous!
5. will you do a trip report on what a thanksgiving cruise is like pls? I'd like to know

safe travels!

 

[katzs13]

We just booked back 2 back cruises. Western then Eastern. It will be my DH Jeff (51) our DD Kaitlynn (5) and me, Misty (36)

We will be in room 10068. We would like to join the fe. Just got off the dream and magic cruises. These new cruises will be our 4th and 5th.

1. This time we are getting in later in the day (early evening) so MCO is perfect. But even when we get in mid afternoon it's a nice way to start the cruise. Really like the bus from Hyatt and never seeing our luggage.

2. We have annual passes this year so we are taking advantage of every opportunity. Staying two days after our Turkey Day cruise, going back for our annual post-Christmas week and again at Spring Break.

3. I will at the very least post pix of our Turkey Day trip if not a full blown trip report.

Oh yeah, forgot the luggage part! Very important, that luggage part! Taking the Cruise bus from MCO makes it feel like our cruise has begun!

Muffin07:

The roll call will be updated by the room moderator ntheory; was chatting with her last night, and she will be updating the list shortly, and will be generating more traffic as we are reaching the 1 year mark.

Steve,
Thanks for the information on the roll call updates.

bfosbenner,
Thanks for the update on the old fe list, great group of people we sailed with, and glad to have you along on this cruise too. Great week for any one from the NJ area as the kids won't miss to much school. We have not sailed since that cruise in 2008.

[Buglady]

Bug lady and Family are jioning this cruise with Muffin 07. Will be second Disney Cruise. We starting to count the days.

 

[Pooh_Girl]

Hello All!! Checking in again. Hope everyone is doing well. We are still on board for this cruise (WOOHOO!!) and still waiting very impatiently to find out where the Magic is going in 2013. I'm really hoping for a Med cruise that goes to Greece since they just did the ABD itineraries for Greece. We shall see!!!
Definately put DH and I on the list for any activities our Dis names are Pooh_Girl and RBennett.

 

[disneyfan888]

I was wondering is some one can explain what FE is and how do I get involved?

Thanks

Hi there!
FE stands for Fish Extenders. It's this long banner with various pouches. People hang them outside their doors and get gifts from other families on the cruise. it's like a secret exchange. You can sign up for it, but I was told it was too early for this cruise. We have to stay on the lookout. This will be my 6th Disney cruise and I learned about this about to get on my fifth last month and was too late to do it. Can't wait to be apart of it for this one. Only 1 year and 2 days away!! Woohoo!
