I have booked a 6 day cruise on the Carnival Freedom on Jan 11, 2009. It sails from Fort Lauderdale and goes to Key West(Margarittaville!), Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios, Jamaica. I'll go to Florida a day early and stay a day after, so look it up and see what you think-all of you..........

Well it's official - I just booked for the same Carnival Cruise as Colette for 01/11/2009. Hopefully other DISers will be able to join us!

 

[PennConn]

Ok, I'll go first! I just booked . . .

Animal Kingdom Lodge
Sat. Sept. 6th - Sat. Sept. 13th 2008

My Mother, and one of my Aunts are supposed to go.

I THINK I will try to book most of my sit-down/table service meals for lunch insted of dinner, so if I decide not to venture out in the evening, I won't have to just for a meal. And I don't plan on booking any breakfasts.

I checked the crowd levels for that week, and it's mostly 4s and 5s (out of a scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest).

Probably around March I'll start thinking seriously about an intinerary, then plan my meals around that.

So who else is going?!!!!

Hi Glenda and Vanessa

I am planning on calling AAA Travel tomorrow to book a stay at All-Star Music for Sunday September 7 - Saturday September 13, most likely including the Disney Dining Plan. Keep in touch about what meals you want to share (including Hoop Dee Doo Revue). I can't wait!

 

[ANTSS2001]

awe this sounds fun.
I'll be there- april8th to 13.

I'm going December 11-17, staying at SOG. But it's not a solo trip, we're celebrating my Dad's 80th "B" Day. He's never been to WDW.

Would love to try a solo before then but not sure if I can fit it in.

Going Solo Feb 7-11 and May 16th -19th

Staying offsite with my daughter and going August 17-24th!

Hoping to plan another solo weekend maybe the begining of Nov. I want to see all the Christmas decorations again but cant use vacation time between thanksgiving and christmas.

I'm running away from home for some WDW fun before my DH joins me for our Westbound Disney Cruise.

I will be there starting April 27-May 7 staying on property.

I'll be there:

May 3rd-11th

Sept 13th-21st (tentative-may go a week or so earlier) My AP expires Sept 28th, so I want to get one more trip out of it.

Dec 6th-14th (again tentative-may be a week earlier or later). Does anyone know when POP Warner is next year?

Updated!!!!

 

[ANTSS2001]

Vanessa You should go a week earlier in September so that you can see Glenda and (hopefully) me again!

Ok I am a bit out of the loop... who is Vanessa again ??? I only know Glenda

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I had made my mind up for Sept 13th-21st, then saw that Glenda, and Ants were going to be there a week earlier.

looking forward to be doing TOT with you!!!!

Right now I am 90 percent sure I'm going. I will make a final decision in a week or two.

(Vanessa let us know if you change your dates to a week earlier in September - Glenda and I would love to see you!)

Yeay I get to meet some of the Dec. bunch

I still think TOT is easier.

uh huh...

OK I will update this on the 1st page.. maybe we can get some takers

Wow, there is so many DISers going! I'm going to the HDD thing too!

 

[Glendamax]

Hey! I was finishing up my report and forgot to check this thread! Sorry!

1. Will see about that cruise.

2. Glad some of you want to do Hoop Dee Doo. Will do research!

Gotta JET!!! SEE YA!!!

 

[Colette]

If there is enough interest in the cruise, I'll call my TA and see what kind of deal we could get as a group. It's a 6-day cruise out of Fort Lauderdale and sails to Key West, Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

DisneyBride03-You must be getting excited for your cruise next month-is it your first Disney Cruise, I can't remember.

 

[fakereadhed]

Just booked for Dec. 10-17.

Got a 40%off email code and booked POP(yes the Disney Housing Projects for me once again ) for $55 incl tax. Makes me feel a little less guilty about running away from home solo when I'm not breaking the bank.

 

[aubriee]

Ok I am a bit out of the loop... who is Vanessa again ??? I only know Glenda

That would be me.

looking forward to be doing TOT with you!!!!

No way Jose! I'll do any of the rollercoasters with you, but no way am I doing TOT. I don't do drops!

Yeay I get to meet some of the Dec. bunch

Looking forward to meeting you finally!

A cruise sounds fun. As far HDDR, when we went a couple of years ago we had to pay when we booked and I know the earlier you book, the better seats you get. Also there are I believe three categories of seats. Personally I would prefer to go ahead and pay for the better seats down low, but whatever everybody else wants to do is fine. We'd probably need to send our money to Glenda ahead of time though.

I had planned to return to WDW in Dec, but a cruise sounds nice. The only problem is I've never cruised and don't know that much about it.

Just booked for Dec. 10-17.

That's a great deal. Congratulations! I wish WDW would ever send me a code. I've never been lucky enough to get one. I'm usually able to use an AP or a VISA code though, so I can't complain, I guess.

That's great, I'll be there then. Didn't get a code, but that's okay I'm staying at SOG which has reasonable rates. Maybe we can meet during then.

Sounds good.

Well I'm now officially booked at Walt Disney World for 6 Nights at All-Star Music (Sunday September 7 - Saturday September 13) including the Disney Dining Plan and the Premium Magic Your Way Pass (Includes Park Hopper and Water Park / Pleasure Island Fun Options.)

But here's the best part - Because on the Magic Your Way Passes for anything over five days they only charge a couple of dollars more per day, I was able to get a TEN Day MYW Pass for only $8 More than a Six day Pass - so that gives me FOUR Extra Options for practically nothing!

(I figure that without a rental car I won't be leaving the Disney Campus this time, and it will be so hot that I might want to go to BOTH Pleasure Island and the Water Parks - BOTH of which will be open - nearly every day.)

Aubriee and Glenda

Would you be interested in doing dinner at the Cape May Clambake? Aubriee, Colette, Colette's friend Marsha, and I went in December, and it was GREAT!

I would also be interested in trying the Hollywood Brown Derby at Hollywood Studios (or whatever MGM is called now), and / or Akershus in Norway at Epcot (although I will probably have to do that solo, most people are scared off by the Scandanavian menu)

 

[DisneyBride'03]

So exited for all of you with booked trips!!! A solo one doesnt look good for me in Dec...Oct maybe....but everyone will be long gone! lol

Colette....yes our cruise is right around the corner! Kids are excited as well as DH! We never have cruised before either! Hopefully DH will love it!

I would be interested in Cape May. The menu looks limited, but since you said it was good, I'll try it.

If I do Hoop Dee Doo, I will not do any other 2 credit meals. I didnt know that you had to pay upfront. I need to find out how this is done since I'll be on the plan.

Cape May sounds good. Hollywood Brown Derby I've never thought was worth the money or the 2 credits. I've only eaten there once and the only thing I remember about it, was the waiter spilling cold water on me, when he tilted my glass as he was placing it on the table and the very slow service we had. I've eaten at Akershus a couple of times and it was OK. Breakfast is just your typical American foods. For dinner I had their Kjottkaker and it tasted just like meatloaf. It was pretty good. The little cold buffet, we didn't partcularly like, but the dessert platter was really good. Character interaction is good, also. I took my mom the first time and my GD the second time and they both enjoyed it. It's not a MUST do for me though.

 

[aubriee]

You guys are making me look so bad. I haven't even thought about where I'm going to stay in Sept. In fact, I haven't even made resort reservations for my upcoming May trip. Like any good DISer though, I do have all my ADRs for my May trip.

I believe last year AP discounts for May came out in February, so I'm not in any particular hurry to book my resort for May.

 

[Glendamax]

To all the DISers I had dinner with @ LeCellier in December:
Will you please tell me if you all did the Processional or Illuminations after I left that night? I was hoping that one of you would've done a report, so I was waiting. So please tell me what else you did that night and how it was!

Thanks!
Gmax!

Hi Glenda and Vanessa

Start thinking about what days you want to do Hoop Dee Doo, and Cape May Clam Bake. (The Menu for Cape May is more extensive then it sounds.)
I wouldn't mind doing 1900 Park Fare again as well.

Glenda I would be concerned about doing Hoop Dee Doo if we have to pay up front ... as people's plans do change. So if you decide to skip it, that's OK with me (But I will go with you if you decide to still go.)

I agree we should skip Hollywood Brown Derby if it's two table service credits.

Vanessa What's your opinion of Hoop Dee Doo?
