Podcast Cruise 2.0 Discussion Thread Deux

[tlcoke]

Good Morning Everyone!! I am back to work today after 2 1/2 weeks off from work from our Holiday Break and my extra week of Vacation time. It was very hard to get up and moving this morning, as I would have rather stayed in bed. Good news is only work 11 days this month, next Monday is our last holiday until Memorial Day in May and I am taking a few days off at the end of the month to go to Nashville for a training meeting. I also have to plan my trip to WDW in May.

Quick update of the (potential) Pre PCC 2.0 Mini-Meets mentioned so far.

Chicago - ?
Hershey Park, PA - August (early) - kimisabella/dvcsince02
Indy - September (early)
Big E / W. Springfield, MA - September 25 - georgemoe
NYC - Fall to coincide with Disney store opening - launchpad11b

Individual threads will details about each will be posted at a later time.

They only meet I am a definite on is the September meet in Indy. Chicago would depend on the dates and affordable accommodations since it would be have to be an overnight trip for me.

If anyone finds themselves in the Louisville, Kentucky area, let me know as I will get the local Disers here together for a meet up with advance notice.

So Indy for us is a definite...duh...Hershey is a possibility...as well as Chicago. We're got some financial issues to work through right now but I'm optimistic. My main focus is getting us on that ship in December. Even if we can't do any extra days or anything...but if I can get us on that ship...that's what matters most!

If you guys were able to come to Hershey that would be awesome - but, it's more important to be able to be on the cruise! Crossing fingers that both can happen!

Good Morning Everyone.

 

[kimisabella]

Actually, it might be a good idea to keep the discussion here until all the dates are established. I have a hard time handling more than one topic at a time.

No problem, I will keep it here until the dates are established.

So it appears that August is good for everyone, so that's one hurdle down....Now we have to decide which weekend. The weekends that seem good for the majority are:

the weekend of 8/7

or

the weekend of 8/14

I'm just trying to get a handle of which weekend (Sat/Sun) is best for everyone. People may come the Friday before or stay the Monday after, but, I just want to pin down the Sat/Sun dates so everyone can put it on their calendars!

I would like to put in a vote for 8/14 (my birthday by the way ), I am pretty sure I have a commitment for the previous weekend.

Yes that is what matters most!!! We must have you on that ship!

The weekend of the 14th works much better for us as well.

The 14th (weekend) is fine with me as well Andrea. Saturday would be my preferred day.

Happy Monday folks!

Wow, y'all been bizzy this weekend with Dis meets planning 101

You know we'll be there
I know this was discussed in passing a while ago, but, was anyone interested in going to Hershey Park this summer?

I'm not familiar with Hershey Park so looked them up Why is everything 5-6 hours away?! I noticed they have a campsite. It could be fun to rent a deluxe cabin with others so we'd have a place to hangout too. We'd just have to be careful no one falls into the firepit 8/14 sounds good too

I was more amazed that there wasn't an even longer line for the lobster roll. $6 for pure lobster. No mayonnaise, no filling, just lobster on a roll.

Jeff, you just gave me the pitch line to get DH to drive 6 hrs to the Big E!

Either 9/18 or 9/25 would work for me. On 10/2 I will be running the wine and dine half marathon relay.

nice!

Big E / W. Springfield, MA - September 25 - georgemoe

the food in Thailand was good too. and so cheap! pineapple shakes every day! and plenty of banana roti... sometimes which chocolate syrup on top.

wow, that sounds fab...gotta try that one. No plans to head back to Asia for a few years tho

cheers,

Happy Monday Karen.

If it takes Robert 6 hours to get to the Big E, you must be taking bicycles.

Great, thanks Kim

The weekend of the 14th works much better for us as well.

One more for the 14th - thanks Kelly

Thanks for voting George!

Hi Karen! It would be great to see you guys again before PCC 2.0 - I will count your vote for 8/14. I don't do camping though , give me a nice hotel and I'm good

 

[DVCsince02]

Andrea, the 14th is fine for us, and looks like another birthday celebration will be that weekend.....

 

[TXYankee]

I just got my credit card bill for last month and Christmas spending was under budget!

Soooo...I made a $200 payment on my PCC 2 reservation!

 

[Madi100]

Darn. I was hoping we might be able to make the August event. We don't have a vacation planned for this summer. 8/14 I think is getting too close to school starting. We'll have to see. It is a 12 hour drive. But, I think there is plenty to see to and from.

 

[MagicalKingdom]

If we're looking at doing this on the weekend, we might be able to swing a Saturday in August, but I wouldn't know for sure till the end of spring. August for us starts the beginning of 4 days a week of football and cheerleading practices. I haven't been to Hershey Park in YEARS, so I'll try to make whatever date is decided on.

Maybe in the mid august will be the best month for us too..See Yah All There!...

Yay! I wonder who's birthday it will be

I really hope you guys can make it, that would be great!

Hope that you can join us!

George; add TATW (Taste Around The World) at WDW in Early October (dates yet to be determined) to this list.

I think we ought to get Kevin/John/Kathy/somebody to mention this thread on the podcast being recorded tomorrow.

 

[safetymom]

Just let me know what you want me to say and I'll do it. The Big E sounds tempting.
