Yea!!! A Pod Squad Cruise is in the works -- Thanks Pete!

[astrodrummergirl]

you just need to get to writing some emails and calling in some voicemails to better your chances of winning a spot!

Speaking of which...I can't remember - did Pete say that you just have to be signed up for the mailing list to be eligible or is it going to be you have to have a voicemail/email answered on air?

Well, I've lost count of the amount of emails I've written to them and I couldn't quite figure out if the voicemail was toll free outside of the USA, I mean a UK to USA phone call isn't cheap. I think I signed up for the mailing list when it had the password to I think I've got all my bases covered, however, whenever I write an email with something interesting, Pete reads a similar email from someone else, however, as soon as I come up with something different and interesting, I'll be sure to write another!

I just finished listening to this weeks podcast and they read my email!

I hope that gives me a chance to win one of those staterooms!

Is there an email segment this week?

 

[astrodrummergirl]

Nope, email segements start back on wednesday 9th jan

 

[UrsulasShadow]

I wonder if we'll need to start sending in new e-mails, or if they will still be drawing from the ones that were previously read.

That's what I was wondering, too - do 2007 emails count? Hopefully, next week's podcast will have all the juicy details.

Is there an email segment this week?

There wasn't a separate email show, but I had sent an email about the first aid stations and they mentioned it on this weeks show.

I got the impression that the cruise wasn't a contest but a meet?? Hmm, maybe I need to go back and listen again.

I think they should record a podcast from the cruise! I'd love to hear some "on-the-spot" broadcasting!

 

[aprince&princess]

I believe that the cruise will be a meet, but Pete did mention that they were going to give away some staterooms.

A podcast from the boat would be fun to watch. (just don't take pictures! )

 

[tinkerbellblondie19]

Oh, definitely would need pictures. Get bob in a bikini..

You know, I think I'll pass on the pictures.

 

[aGoofyMom]

He mentioned May, but nothing's definite

That would be awesome! The first 2 weeks of May are what I like to consider my 2 weeks of gifts! Starting with my wedding anniversary May 1 and ending with either Mother's Day or my birthday - whichever comes last. Actually May 2009 would be my 10th anniversary hmm...good excuse for a cruise? I may have to start saving & plotting!

DH and I were talking about this - we are doing a cruise in Oct '08 and when I told him we'd have to cruise again in May '09, he starting whining about money - HELLLLOOOOOO - that is why we have credit cards, isn't it??? And May 8th is our anniversary! So, aGoofysMom, you and I can celebrate by anniversarying (with our DH's, of course - did that come out right? I haven't had coffee yet this morning...)
Do we have to actually bring our kids on the cruise to celebrate Mother's Day during the cruise???? Hard to be anniversarying with them around, don't ya know....

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

The possible May date was the only thing that created a little dark cloud for me because there's no way we could attend during that time due to our kids' school schedule. I realize though that weather-wise it would be the perfect time to do it...darn it anyway!

 

[tinkerbellblondie19]

May 09? Darn, I'll have school. All EOC prep, all the time, I'm sure. Hmm, I'm taking courses several years above my level anyway, I'm sure I can miss a few days...

Isn't that what the kid activities are for? I keep hearing that you will rarely see your children on a cruise...
DH said we are going.

 

[hayanyujah847]

I'm hoping they do it in May of '09 as that would be great timing...for me at least~!

 

[chirurgeon]

I was thinking about a DCL cruise in 2010, but for a Podsquad Cruise, 2009 here I come.

Hmmmm, mental note not to room next to Disneybride or Goofymom?!

I love my 2DS school, they have absent waivers we can take our kids out without a problem.

If your above a couple years, a few days wont set you back to many years.

I started my savings account yesterday! I always wanted to do a Disney cruise so I am so excited!!!

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

Enjoy it while you can...I have one in middle school and one in high school, their teachers aren't as forgiving.

Oh well, time to just wait and see what happens after Pete gets all the details worked out.

 

[jpeka65844]

I could make it in May of 2009 IF

A) I quit my job as a teacher. You'd better have a bad case of dead to need off in the month of May.


B) I didn't want any more kids. If our plan works out, I'll be pregnant. Kids....Disney cruise....Kids...Disney cruise....that's a toughie! No really! It is!

and

C) I quit my master's program. I graduate in May of 2009. I don't have to attend the last month of classes do I????




Here's hoping it won't be the last! I WILL cruise someday!
