Special 9/1/08 Cruise Continued - Part 3

[daipp]

When you leave Orlando Airport (MCO) take 528 East straight to the port exit. It will take approx. 45 minutes to 1 hour and make sure you have TOLL MONEY. But you will see the signs for the exit to the cruise terminal off of 528.

Hope this helps.

The Varnums of Orlando

It's easy - if a British holidaymaker can do it, anyone can! I even have to remember to drive on the wrong side of the road

Nezy -

I know you want to be first to the ship but there are alot of us that are right with you! I just love the feeling of being in the terminal and the anticipation of getting on the ship. So I will be right there with you.

We will be at the port early as well as we want to meet lots of friends who are disembarking after the 15 Night EBR

David-why was I under the impression that you would not be making this cruise? Did you cancel at some point? Glad to see you are here still.

RE: getting to port-I am driving our rented vehicle from Dollar car rental that would ahve orignially picked up in FLL on 8/27.

RE:Budget;-I have rented from them at Doubletree and they said that they have a shuttle that can pick you up at your resort and bring you to the Doubletrre to do the paperwork and pick up the car. I have walked it from DTD-easy walk, but the option for pick up is there also. Just call them.

We're still coming - my mother-in-law had a heart attack about five weeks ago so she and her husband can't come - no doctor would allow her to fly the Atlantic at present.

We're all ready to leave (I think) - Helen has packed the cases and re-packed several times. She has even done all the FE gifts in early preparation.
Counting down the days at present before we fly on 24th of August.

Could someone please tell me......

the square door assembly...the part the door knob is on, is it metal that it would hold a magnet as well?

I have the measurements of it, but I don't know if it will hold a magnet and I was going to put my lime green mickey ears on it

thanks in advance

Update on private room request. I received a call yesterday from DCL. I am sad to say we did not get the private room for brunch . When I had faxed the list a few months ago, I was told there was two request ahead of our. I guess we'll be making a mad dash on board by those lanyard people

Thanks for trying Virginia. I'll see you in line.

great job
V

Thanks, I used your information to create it . Can you post a link to it on the main page?

 

[TheCooksLuvDisney]

I'm going to try my best to get something done for everyone, time is tight but I'll try

sounds like fun....wish I had known sooner about ya' all...but I might just make it

I'm on deck 5 too, room 5013

did you want to be put on the FE exchange list? we'll need the names of the people in your cabin.

 

[TheCooksLuvDisney]

Ok, so 3:00am leave MK get back to room by 3:30-pack-drive to Port.
What time do they open?

Let Me In! I want to be the First Cruiser!!!

Well, I was thinking of using Sunday afternoon to pack up load the car. Get back from EMH carrying my passed out 5yo DS and getting a wake up call at 8am sharp , and try to get to the port by 10:30. I sure hope some of us DISers are there to keep my wife and DS company while I take the rental car back to budget. Any volunteers?

Evening everyone - just a quick drive-by "Hello"!!

Hey David! haven't heard from you in a while. I hope your in laws are doing better. can't wait to hear the views of the world from the other side of the pond.

Merrick and I will be there early...Tim will be taking the car back to Dollar/Thrifty or whatever it is called at port. We'll be the dorks in the matching POC personalized T's! (And I do say that with pride !)


By the way, off the subject...should I be worried that DS knows how to operate a remote control, pointing it to the TV and everything, and still can't walk? I think that is a sign to turn the TV off (after I watch my DVR'ed so you think you can dance, of course )

 

[TheCooksLuvDisney]

OK, I have taken the excellent spreadsheet and put the FE staterooms into a one page color map of the decks. It's in PDF format, but I can convert it the JPG. What is the best way to make it accessable to everyone.

PDF is cool with me! Everyone can download adobe viewer

 

[Sorcerer-Mickey]

PDF works for me. Thank you once again for all that hard work.

Job well done.

 

[Snowwhitebelle]

sure, I am the only one in that cabin, the rest of my family are elsewhere and don't want to play

should we wait until I for sure have all my goodie done though?


thanks for everything

I think your ok for now. Maybe hang the remote like a caret and dangle it in front of him. This may encourage him to walk for you. Although, be careful for what you wish for. Once they know how to walk, you won't be sitting for long. Enjoy the still times.

How are you all getting to the port? Right now we have a mini van rented and I think we got a good rate. (So good that it would cost us more to do the rental return thing in PC.) I would just like to hear what you guys are doing.

We have a party of 7 and after playing with the numbers, it seems the best option for us is a limo service. The cost for a large van is $230 plus tip.

The rental return option may be a tiny less expensive (one day mini van rental, gas tolls, etc x two), but the convenience and ease of the service I think will make the slight additional cost well worth it.

We are scheduled for pick up POFQ at 9:30, so we should be at the port nice and early.

 

[ulittletinker]

The mad dash is on at boarding time...run, run run! really, I am okay with just the dinner ressie and my chocolate souffle...but man that brunch would be a nice addition!

I agree. I do enjoy them both

You wil have to ask Peter to post on main page
