Does Disney still do land/sea vacation packages? The DW and I will be celebrating our 20th anniversary in two years and we have always wanted to do the Poly/Parks and then a 4 or 5 day cruise after.

Yes they do, but you can also just book a stay at WDW and a DCL cruise and just add the transportation on, so you can always do a land/sea in any fashion you want.

Oh, and an early congratulations… We’re celebrating our 20th this month and that’s the reason for our DCL cruise this summer.

get this, its snowing in nazareth to beat the band but its not sticking to anything. i went up to bangor and its raining. i went up 611 through the water gap onto i80 and nothing but rain. come back rt33, raining in stroudsburg, snowing like crazy on the south side of the mountain. it was 37 degrees in stroudsburg at 7am this morning.

That figures, I guess I upset the snow gods. We got anywhere from 1-2 inches and it is still snowing a little. Nothing on the sidewalks though so no shoveling. I can't imagine that this will be good for the grass I just planted though.



Don, Is it to late to add to my order? I got permission to add a second shirt.

They offer land and Sea packages on the Disney Cruise Line page. It's in the "pre and post cruise" hotel package section of the site. We wound up booking the components of our Land and Sea package separately. I'm sure if it would have cost us less our Disney Travel Agent would have booked it that way. (We routinely wind up getting money back because she's changed our reservations to a different special) If you won't have a car booking it as a single package might make it easier to set up the disney transportation between the parks and cruise.

Great work guys!

Josh and I will get on this hopefully tonight!....AFTER THE GAME...GO ROCKIES!!!!!

It is true you can do this but the website will not let you do the "complete" package. You can book the cruise and a room pre or post trip...BUT...you can not select dining or tickets when you book them like this. This can get very frustrating for us disdads that are travel agents (wink wink nudge nudge) becuase you have to book them seperately if you want the magic your way experience.

Not at all. Actually nothing like that, but rather I'm in church lending & finance. It's niche lending, definitely.

Yeah that's lending with a slightly more meaningful purpose.

So I finished out my Daddy-Daughter TR tonight... can check off the Man Law for that, since we leave again on Monday for the World. But of course, it can be unchecked once again, since I still have my Bicoastal TR to work on more... but that just isn't going to be done soon. I've been working on it getting ready to post again... but it's not ready yet.

Great job on the TR. The scenery pics around the AK resorts are great. It's neat to see resorts that I haven't been able to visit yet.

Well, when you have to open IX next week, you can add them then.

Ahhh. That would definitely explain why our travel agent didn't push us towards a land and sea package.

Nice!

I was thinking about you the other day. My DD started her first dance class. All I could think about was you talking about how just about every weekend for the past dozen or so years were spent driving all over the state to dance competitions.


Edit:
Question: If someone gets quoted at the top of the page, does that count as a co-own?

Don - is that you stuck in the middle talking to your therapist?

Pants! Tony Gwynn's pants hate him, that and buffets.

Well, better his pants than his hat like Barry Bonds!

ITony Gwynn represents all that CAN be good about baseball players. I really hope Albert takes a page out of his playbook.

Absolutely! Much respect for guys like Tony and Barry Larkin who played long careers at a high level and showed loyalty to their team. I'll admit, I usually want to see the Cards to lose since they're in the Reds' division, but I really hope you guys can keep Albert in St. Louis. He's a great player that I enjoy watching and he belongs in a Cardinals uniform, not pinstripes.

I don't know when the +1 score system was introduced, but I'm a fan. So, +1 for introducing a disdads scoring system.

The scoring system was stolen from Captain O's trip report.

Stopher1: We'll have to meet up at some point and discuss our respective jobs. I work as a relationship manager for a trust bank in Chicago. A little different that you, but I'm curious as to what types of relatioships you deal with.

dvczerfs: I'm nominating you as the Official DisDads booking agent. $1200 in one call, I think that would make me happy enough to NOT go into work.

AJRitz (and podcast gang): I really hope that this is available on Monday as I'm on a flight to Miami Tuesday morning and what better way to fly than listen to my favorite podcast. I also haven't done the review on iTunes yet, but I'll be sure to look into doing this. Thanks again for taking the charge on this. 1 & 2 have been great!

Oh and Happy April Fool's Day (and DD Mary's 8th b-day)... got to update my sig...
