Podcast 4.0 Fantasy 7-Night Western Caribbean Cruise 12/8/2012

[OKW Lover]

Can anyone tell me based on past podcast cruises, what time do the transfer buses pick us up from the resort? I realize it won't be an exact time, just looking for a general idea. I am trying to decide if I should fly in on the day before or not, I am wondering how much park time I could get in

For PCC 3.0, we were picked up between 10:00 and 11:00.

As others have suggested, its a good idea to come in the day before a cruise. Especially in December when the chance of winter storms may affect air travel.

Whether or not you go to a park - I would STRONGLY urge you to fly to Orlando the day before.

Me too.

All righty then, it's unanimous! Thank you all, wasn't thinking about possible bad weather, it has been so long since we had a decent rain I forgot anything besides a heat wave existed. Now I just need to decide where to stay. Thanks again!

Getting, getting?? If it weren't for other things I need to plan, the excitement would be unbearable.

Back in my BAP days (before annual pass) - a trip like this booked 21 months in advance would've driven me CRAZY! Fortunately, I've had a number of other trips to look forward to since then, plus two more between now and December.

Reading this gentleman's trip review last night on Cruise Critic and watching the video did make me a lot more excited: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2958928

I just booked myself and my sister for the cruise and PCC 4.0 activities. We plan to participate in FE and I will pm Scott with our information. We were on PCC 1.0 but had no idea what a podcast was at the time. We just happened to book through DU and it happened to be the podcast cruise. This time around we are a little more knowledgeable and I have been listening for several months now.

WooHoo. Welcome, Karen.

PCC 2.0 - Found out after booking that cruise was PCC. Then started listening to podcast.

Is there a total count of the number of people signed up for the podcast 4.0 cruise?

I'm not sure that Dreams would give a specific number for competitive reasons. However 3.0 was generally reported as "400 of your closest friends"

Just back today from the Fantasy 7-night Eastern, where we (DS, 19 and I) had a magnificent time. So much so, that we booked for this sailing as well. We will be celebrating my 50th birthday (the day we set sail).

Looking forward to getting to know some peeps before then!

Hi everyone,

My name is Stephanie and I'm new to the DIS Boards! I just got back from a 7/7-7/14 Fantasy sailing and had a great time with family and friends. As soon as I got off the ship, I wanted to get right back on it was just so amazing! I would love to attend the Podcast cruise on 12/8. How many people are attending so far? I am trying to get two friends to join me, however it's hard for them to take a vacation right before the holidays. Has anyone else travelled alone and then met up with the group? Just looking for some input! Thanks!

 

[TIGGERmetoo]

Welcome Steph! I'm sure there are lots of people you can hang out with.

 

[mdvlprof]

Hi Steph. I'm sure you won't be the only one travelling alone. You'll meet lots of folks to hang out with.
