Seriously...

[mommyofthreeboys]

TXYankee...I am in Aledo, just West of Fort Worth. That would be great because then we could at least meet and make sure we could get along. I also need to wait and see the pricing but I swear I will move heaven and earth to go on that cruise!

I met TXYankee a few weeks ago....you have nothing to worry about!

A roommate is a great idea! I might have to look into that!

Interesting how one person says the DCL rates for December 2010 are fantastic and another says it would mean eating nothing but ramen noodles for a year.

Three weeks before the current cruise, I asked Tracy for the lowest priced way to go. She offered category 10 deluxe inside stateroom for two adults at $1592.96.


DCL webpage category 10 deluxe inside stateroom for two adults
December 12, 2010 - $ 1,345.84
December 13, 2009 - $ 1,190.96

$155.00 “discount” for booking many months in advance.

I am sure as soon as the current cruise is over and Tracy recovers by taking her own vacation, there will be info on the Dreams Unlimited site about the next podcast cruise. I think we need to be patient until then.

I know Dreams Unlimited must get rates much better than what we see on the Disney Cruise Line website. They get the volume group discouts – plus all the cruises they give away!

If I go, and I would really like to, I will also be looking for a roommate.

I want to pay for everything with my Disney Visa card to get “extra” shipboard credit.

When thinking about prices, also need to include
Airfare
Transportation to ship
A few days at WDW hotel before and/or after the cruise
WDW park tickets
Food when not on the ship
Etc.

I remember on the podcast last week that Pete was talking about the Podcast Cruise being a whole new board instead of just a thread. That way, topics can be broken down into specific subjects. I know he mentioned having a "roommate needed" thread!

 

[thewall2k]

My wife and I are planning on going we have been to Disney many times but we are looking to try a cruise and after listening to all the podcasts and getting jealous we decided to go. I can't wait till they get back and we can book.

That was sweet of you to say! Don't tell the truth or I will never get a roomie!! You would make a great roomie too!

How Many girls could we fit in the Roy or Walt suite? I wonder how much it costs? What a PJ party that would be!!

Take into account I am a student who only does part time work in the holidays... I am not supposed to be taking thousand pound holidays!!! I might make it to Disney for around that time, but nothing for definite!

I would love to go - who knows

The cruise prices are fair but getting over the atlantic in December is always a bit costly

But you get more money for your dollar here?

 

[jen3003]

I'm really going to try to go on the next cruise. My son said he would go and my husband said no he doesn't want to, so we will see. My youngest daughter wants to but I will have to see with school and all and my older daughter who is the middle child could probably care less. She already said our August trip will be her last trip.

Same here only its not the Atlantic, its the Pacific and the rest of the US. I'd really love to do it but its hard to justify the airfare for a 3night cruise. We need to really get our monies worth out of the airfare. I suppose there are other things we could do. It would be great if it was out of Los Angeles for us. So much cheaper to get to.

I know my husband not go for sure...that will be the week of finals for our daughter so she will not go. But I told DH today at lunch that I am putting a deposit down as soon as we can. I will be going! He said no problem. He did say he might try to get a few days off so we could go in on Thursday night, see the parks at Christmas (never have done that) and then he and DD would fly back home sometime Sunday.

 

[YellowMickeyPonchos]

Yellow Mickey Ponchos and TXYankee...are you guys on Facebook?

TXYankee would love to chat with you more about the idea of rooming together.

I am on Facebook. You are welcome to come friend me! However, be warned - I'm bringing my husband and 2 little ones on the cruise, so we'll have a full stateroom already!

You might want to talk to rtobe instead. She'd be the single traveller and she is really sweet! We hung out with her at Disneyland!

 

[Mr. Plutes]

i think me and plutes will be going next dec.
stay at wdw for for 10 days, then go on the cruise.

 

[Renysmom]

"How Many girls could we fit in the Roy or Walt suite?"

Guarantee Pete already has those for the podcast team!!!

 

[rtobe]

Yes, I'm here. roommate wanted - female. Currently hold record for shortest time to create clutter in hotel room. Not a morning person. Chocolate addict. Still interested... PM. My flattie is having fun, I'm here in Washington, DC (Northern VA technically). Single supplement was too much, would rather split room and get outside cabin.

I didn't want to room with you!! I figured your husband would be going. I just always enjoy your additions to the podcast and thought it would be fun to follow you on Facebook! I'll look for you on Pete's FB.

 

[Mike2023]

Plan as of now is to hit up this one. I wish I could have gone this year, but was not in the cards. But I think we can swing it for late 2010.

 

[two-foxes]

It stinks because we were set for this cruise, had our favorite stateroom booked way back in Feb of 2008 when it was first announced. But, we had to cancel due to our little man on the way...which although I feel like I am really missing out, the trade off couldn't be better!

But, as a result of this next little guy, DH and I have really decided that it is time to stop using credit cards all together ...it seems as soon as we paid one off, we'd get it charged up again, thanks to our never ending love of Disney vacations! We really have set a goal to have all our debt, minus the house, paid off soon. So, all vacations are through DVC points exclusively for the next couple years. Which means no podcast cruise for us (have to book through Dreams for the perks!)....but alas....there is more to life than a cruise But, if I come across a surprise couple of grand or win one....you know where you will see me in December 2010!!!!

Oops..... Silly Moo!!!!! I read that completely wrong. I should have taken off my toddler ears and listened to the words better!

I would love to have you as a Facebook friend. I PM'd you.
