I can't speak to anything other than service but I hired Sir Randolph's Limos to take my daughter to Sea World for her 13th birthday back in February and they were awesome. Definitely above and beyond all my expectations and the price was pretty awesome too. You could email them to ask for a quick quote.

Do a search under dis boards for transportation. I know that disboards does recommend certain places.

Talk about a small world. My son invited a friend of his over today that he knew from school. The boys mom wanted to introduce herself and we did small talk and I mentioned we were leaving for the cruise this thursday for my sons b-day. It just so happens that her and her family are leaving tomorrow for the dream cruise. How funny is that.
This is her first Disney cruise so she knew nothing about the ship, youth activities, FE exchanges or FL resident rates. I tried to explain it all but since she is leaving tomorrow I didn't think it was possible for her to get an FE ready or make any changes to her cruise. She left about an hour ago and just called me in tears because she did call DCL and they went and upgraded her to a verandah room and gave her over $1000 back. Talk about chance encounters!

Am I seeing that the cruise is not very full at all? What is an FE exchange???

You can google FE exchange Disney cruise and you will see numerous links about it.
It is basically an exchange of surprise gifts between cabins. There is a fish hook outside your door and you hang your goody bag or homemade fish extender from it.

It is a small world. How nice they were able to accommodate her!

We have two FE exchange groups for this cruise. We added a second one for all of the last minute arrivers due to the discounts! I am not sure the second is still open, but I'd be more than happy to do an exchange with your family if you like.

Best,

The Wimmers

My bag screams of Newbie too! It's just a canvas bag with a Mickie picture sewn on it and our names added in a permanent marker. Nothing fancy at all.

I just need your room number, kids and ages and any allergies. Anything special anyone in your party likes as far as Disney Characters, snacks for movies, etc.

We are in 7024, two adults and 1 boy (11) 1 girl (5).

Anyone else in group 2 that wants to participate please post your information here!!

It's fun having the last minute add-ons!

We are two adults and three girls ages 13, 8 and 3. We are vegetarian (not vegan-dairy and eggs are ok) and the only thing we're allergic to is pain

They like anything and everything from pirates to princesses and pretty much any snack food out there. This is their very first cruise.

FE (Fish Extender) Group B closed on Sept 3. You are free to set up one-off exchanges with people... but, unfortunately, we will be unable to supply gifts to additional cabins. Ours are time intensive (with shopping and crafting) and it's just too close to the cruise to create anymore. But I know you will have a FANTASTIC cruise with endless magic anyways!!!

I am just finishing up packing for my little girl. Her sister had to approve every outfit before I packed. Too Cute!!!

And thank you to my hubby for getting the FE gifts in order so I could get them wrapped and ready to go.

It's been a tough year. I really need these few days away to forget about life and just feel like a kid again.

We're almost there!!!!
