Any January 13th cruisers interested in meeting?

[Tluvs2talk]

nezy,
I do believe that it was you who said " Disney People Are Crazy"
You are officially now a Disney person. Ha ha. Everytime the Disney commercials come on I get excited. Wait until you cruise. You will never be able to hear " When You Wish Upon A Star" Again without thinking about the cruise.

Teri-
I AM IN GOOD COMPANY!!!

Can you tell me what the deal is with the "refillable mugs". I am sure it is already discussed somewhere on these boards. I thought that all non-alcoholic drinks were included and only alcohol was extra. Why would we need a refillable mug?

Thanks. inkbounc

 

[Tluvs2talk]

The refillable mugs are for unlimited soda all day. You do get soda free with your Lunch and Dinner in the restaurants.They also have juice, tea, coffee, water free all day at the buffet station. We bought a mug last cruise but did not really get our money out of it. We are bringing a 12 pack of coke with us on this trip, and that should be all we need. I think the mugs are $21.00 on the 4 day.

chasing the rambunctous 20 month old around in the terminal! We have Happy Limo picking us up at 11:00am so I think we should be there 12:15ish, in time to board without having to spend too much time waiting around. We will look for all those lime green ribbons, it will be fun meeting everyone from the board! We leave on Tues on Amtrak which should be loads of fun in itself and arrive in WDW on Thurs morning. We can't wait! See you soon,

mrsv98,
Under Guess Who's Cruising, they have you listed for the 7-day cruise leaving January 12th. We leave January 13th 4-day Wonder. I hope you are cruising with us.

hobo1947, I look forward to meeting you and your crew also.

nope, we are sailing with you! We leave Tues on AMtrak, arrive at the Wilderness Lodge on Thursday and sail Sun I went to Target today adn bought Gracie a few little t-shirts and the cutest pink dress and now I am trying to get the laundry done. How a little family of three (well, only three who actually wear clothes!) can generate so much laundry is beyond me! I am going a little nuts because my DH has to work right up until we leave so I am trying to pack while Gracie is trying to unpack! See you and everyone else VERY soon!

Rebecca,
Wow you will be leaving soon. Hubby (Rick) and I leave Thursday. We will be staying at Dolphin Friday and Sat before cruise. I still have to pack. See you soon!!!

Jenn, Our list is really growing!!! We will see you soon!!

 

[KendraS]

Hi Rebecca (mrsv98),

We are only a few hours from you...wondering...how did you decide on Amtrak? We are flying from Detroit directly to Orlando on Thursday and checking in at Wilderness Lodge too! Did you do the land/sea package as well?

We might run into you at the Lodge...we will be the ones looking worn out...we have an energetic 6 & 4 yr. old! Hopefully, between Mom(me)/Dad & 2 grandparents we can keep track of them!

If we don't see you at the Lodge will see you on Sunday at the cruise...I just bought my lime green (it's sort of lime green) ribbon at Wal-Mart today! Cost was 6 cents...the lady at the counter looked at me kind of funny when I ordered it!!!!

See you soon!

Kendra

Well, my husband was never a big fan of flying, being 6'3" makes sitting in an airplane seat very uncomfortable and since 9/11 we can't bear the thought of Gracie flying (tho I did fly to Vegas and back in late Sept.) Since we have the only baby in the universe who will not sleep in a moving car, driving for 2 or 3 days was also unappealing. That left Amtrak and I think it will actually be a lot of fun. It only takes 2 days, no more than driving, but Gracie will be able to get up and walk around and play. We have a sleeping compartment on both trains (Chi- Was DC...Was DC-Orl) so we will have private space to spread out. We have a layover in DC both ways but that will be nice since we can explore a bit. In fact, coming home, we have about 5 hours, so if the weather is nice we can go to the National Zoo and see the Pandas and if it is crummy, we can go to the Captial Children's Museum which is right around the corner from the train station.

We did the 7 day land/sea also. I think next time I will probably book everything separately, but for the first trip, I believe the package is the way to go. The Wilderness Lodge looks AWESOME and we can't wait to get there! You are lucky to have grandparents going with you, maybe you can actually have some "grown-up" time! What time do you arrive in Orlando? The train gets in at 11:50 am so I figure we will be at WL by about 1pm.

I confess I haven't had time to look for ribbon, but I will see what I have around the house. See you on Thurs!

so, I may be getting a bit ahead of myself, but when does everyone plan on using their $99 vouchers for the fall?

Gracie sounds like she keeps you busy. I'm sure there will be enough to keep us ALL busy on the cruise.

I am interested in doing some excursions--perhaps the glass bottom boat, or swimming w/dolphins. Does anyone know if it is better(i.e. cheaper) to try to book something on your own after you arrive or to go w/ the ship's excursions?

Also, is there parasailinf on castaway cay?

 

[mrsv98]

don't know what happened!

Rebecca

 

[osugrad148]

Hi all,

We will also be on the boat 1/13/02. My husband Dennis, me(Liz) and our three boys ages 5, 5 and 3. This will be our second Disney cruise and we are staying at the Dolphin for three nights after the cruise.
It's hard to believe that in 1 week we'll all be in The Bahamas!
I hope to see you there!

[Tluvs2talk]

Liz Day,
Happy to have you sailing with us! We will see you there.

 

[Disney Dreamer]

Hey everyone, I'm getting so excited!

What to pack?? I have sweatshirts and zip off pants for the boys. My 13 year old wears shorts now and it has been in the 20's here so he should be fine. I want to take some capri pants but I like to wear them with sandals and it might be a bit cold for that. This is the bad part of vacation, trying to pack! We leave in 5 days. I can't wait to be on the ship.

Teri, thanks for the weather update. I hope they are right Let's see, next week I will be at the Atlantis, sitting on a lounge chair in the sun on the beach, drinking a pina coloda! It doesn't get much better than that!

See y'all soon!!

 

[Tluvs2talk]

Disney Dreamer,
I also looked up the weather for Orlando. Looks like high middle to lower 60"s lows in middle 40's. You can look at www.weather.com for updayed info later in the week.

Hubby and I are also going to Atlantis. We are going to play in the Casino and shop. When we cruise in the Fall we plan on booking a room so we can play in the pools. It is getting close now. Can't wait.

 

[Disney Dreamer]

We booked a room at Comfort Suites so I hope it will be warm enough to swim. DH and I went to Atlantis last March and it is wonderful! Our kids are fish so they should enjoy it! Are you cruising in the fall on the $99 deal? I am trying my darndest to talk DH into it! That would be our 5th trip to Orlando in 2 years so I don't know how far I will get with him!
