Podcast Cruise 5.0 - Official Thread

[poohj80]

Waffles are bad for you.

I would guess that any major announcements will come closer to sail time.

Agreed, but since we're sailing the Southern Caribbean in October, it's difficult to justify two cruise so close together even with Jodi Benson! Hoping you can share before payment due date (PLEASE??????) or we may be kicking ourselves for cancelling.

PIF today. It's starting to feel real.

So I'm very excited to say I am booking a spot on this cruise! My husband and I are supposed to be setting sail on our honeymoon DCL cruise to Alaska at the end of August but last week he pretty much called time on our marriage after 9 months. I've spent the past few days feeling awful but whilst looking into cancelling Alaska I decided to do something positive for myself and use the money on a deposit on PCC 5.0. I've been a podcast listener for years and have ALWAYS wanted to go on a DIS cruise so I'm feeling very good about finally getting to meet everyone.

I don't really have any plans pre/post cruise yet so am now going to look into the threads. I also need to look into flights - I live just outside London, England so need to factor in the jet lag! Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

This will be our 3rd Disney cruise, but the first time on the Magic. We look forward to some new experiences as well as getting a chance to do some of the things that we enjoyed previously.

Coming up on the date for Platinum CC members (ahem) to book excursions and shipboard activities!!!

 

[bonnieappetit]

We have changed out cabin as of today with the new DVC discount. Our new cabin is #6574 (Andy and Bonnie)

 

[DSNYDREAMER]

If you are a DVC member, there has been a discount released for this sailing. It has limited category availability but may save you some money! The offer is not combinable with any other discount or promotion, so we would compare to see what the best deal is! Email me if you are a DVC member and want to see if the offer will save you money... traceyh@dreamsunlimitedtravel.com

 

[OKW Lover]

Just a reminder for those who are in concierge or are CC Platinum, our 120 day booking window opens on Saturday, August 2nd.

 

[MrBean]

We were able to take advantage of the new DVC rate as well and upgrade to a 5B cabin. Please change our room to #7598.

This also means a secret verandah room may now be available (#6634) if anyone was hoping for one!

Switched from a Cat 5A to a 5B for the DVC discount and saved a boatload of money.
New stateroom is 7532, just down the hall from the old one.

Is it time to start packing yet?

Thanks Tracey. We moved up from 7a to 5B with our DVC discount and saved almost $300. A nice welcome home. Relspeak - Anne & Alan now in 7526.

Any idea on when a scheduled of events will be released for the podcast members? I don't want to schedule excursions only to find out that I will be missing events I want to attend.
