Our First Disney Cruise "Double Dip Delight" Pre-TR & TR September 27-October 4, 2008

[4happybogles]

I have enjoyed readying the many posts, however, I was not able to read them all. I am as excited as you are for our trip, I have also begun packing but I have a couple of months still. anyways, I wanted to let you know, if you take something like a pillowcase, or a t-shirt and a Sharpie to Customer Service, they will have all the characters sign the item and then deliver it to your room. I thought this would be a cool surprise for my DS. He will just flip when it arrives while we are gone!! I hope you have a wonderful time!! Thanks for all the information and great pictures.

I know you were able to go back to plan A for the limo, but did you ever find out the name of the limo/taxi company that offers rides from the hotel to the terminal?

Thanks,
Trav

I found the info about a year ago on the "Helpful information for you" Thread. I just checked the thread again and I don't see it there anymore I believe the company is called Checker Cab of Brevard County and it was like $15 for a limo from any Cocoa Beach hotel to P.C.
You could probably P.M. Shirley and ask her.

Yep, it's Checker Cab of Brevard. You can visit his website here http://www.checkercabofbrevard.com/ I sent an email asking if they still offered this service and I was told by Robert that they do and it is a flat rate of $25. His cell number is 321-449-1000. Very nice guy and was simple to arrange the pick-up.

Hope you all are having a great day!!

I'm so glad you "went overboard" and decided to do the MNSSHP. We did it last year and loved it! I'm sure that you already know this, but for fear that on the off chance you don't and not wanting you to miss out...you can enter the park at 4pm even though the party doesn't start until 7pm, you knew that right? Who are you using to get from CBR to the port? I am thinking about doing the same thing next year when we cruise in October. When I try discussing our options with DH he just looks at me and shakes his head (because we still have over a year to go).

Thanks, I actually did know that we can go to MNSSHP earlier than 7:00
We are taking a FL Tours limo from CBR to the port. It is a surprise for DH and the kids

So, I got my formal dress and tried it on. It fits perfectly, just like Cinderalla's glass slipper. The only problem is.............I look like I am trying to BE Cinderalla when wearing it! It is soooo poofy, like a wedding dress. I didn't realize from the pictures (on ebay) that it was like that
So, I have stressed about it all week and decided NOT to bring the dress on the cruise It is just too much.

The good news is, I went shopping today and got a new dress for formal night and I love it. Bought DH a matching tie as well.

Oh what ever will I do with my Poofy, Cinderella Wannabe dress now?

I second the vote for pics!

Drea, wear whatever you want! I'm wearing a gown, it's just not poofy because I don't look good in poofy. When I got married, the lady who sold me my dress thought I was nuts for not buying a crinoline

Bring it.
Drea, bring yours.

I'm going to be pink, taffata-y, and poufy and black sequiny all by myself I guess.

on you party poopers!

 

[anc22]

I don't think you ladies understand what I mean by poofy...............
It actually has that "netty" stuff under the skirt like a skirt you would wear under a wedding dress. Poofy........like no one would know if I had a person or 2 hiding under there I have no problem wearing a long gown. I just couldn't find one under $200 at the mall

Don't any of you let my insecurities make you rethink your dresses!

Well, if it's going to need it's own suitcase then you may want to leave it at home.

 

[anc22]

Kind of a blurry picture, but here is my new dress for formal night.
It is kind of a blue/green color. Now I just have to find shoes

ha.. see thats how my dress is... has that net stuff under it.. oh well guess me and Jen can be the poofy ones LOL

But I do like the new dress.. and it will take up less space! (thats whats holding me back bringing mine it needs its own suitcase LOL)

 

[anc22]

That was one of the main reasons why I didn't want to take it. It is just really big and would take up A LOT of space.

I like the new dress but I have to say I LOVE the old one! IMO your are on the Magic and you should feel Magical! Who cares if its to puffy and looks like Cinderella.. Every girl should feel like Cinderella on a Disney cruise!!! Take a chance where the dress I bet you won't regret it!

Oh okay....a crinoline!! (you are right! )

Mine is poufy not so much by design but moreso from the body under it.

I do love the new dress though! You will look great!!!
