Everybody please post additional info as to their travel mates, children's names/ages, cabin number (optional - you can keep this a secret if you want).

I'm assuming that many of the podcasters are going to be on board in addition to John & Kevin but they aren't on the list since they haven't posted explicitly here that they are going.

We are indeed in! You have my board name (myweegirls) - Eric is DEA. Anna is 8, and Tessa is 6. And *everyone* is very excited.

We have flights - going into Ft. Lauderdale - now I need to book a pre-night stay somewhere that will shuttle us to the port!

Thanks Liz. I just could not remember Eric's name. I know we chatted on both PCC 3.0 and 4.0. It will be nice to see you again.

Welcome aboard! Pre-days at the Swan will be nice. Its so convenient to Epcot (and the Studios). We just spent 3 nights at the Dolphin. Really good rates as compared to BW/BC/YC.

Welcome aboard! And especially, welcome to the DIS Boards. Glad you de-lurked.

It's my first cruise too. I'm getting excited. We are flying into Miami the day before the cruise. Got a lot cheaper rate then going into Ft Lauderdale. Does anyone know the best way to get from Miami airport to hotel in Ft Lauderdale? Is there a shuttle service? We don't want to rent a car just for less than a day.

 

[myweegirls]

Thanks Liz. I just could not remember Eric's name. I know we chatted on both PCC 3.0 and 4.0. It will be nice to see you again.

You, too! We're really looking forward to this cruise - the last week before we go back to school...

We are coming in late on Thursday staying at Swan & Dolphin for the pre-cruise. We are going to Theme Park Connection on Friday, love that place.

Jeff -- Thanks for putting this together.

Michael is Merry Mousketeer on the boards. For those who listen to the Disneyland edition of the podcast, he is on that team.

We are flying into Orlando on Wednesday staying at Bay Lake Tower. Who will be joining us on the bus ride to the port?

We will be at the Swan for 2 nights after the cruise flying home on Labor Day.

Looking forward to meeting new people and seeing those of you who we have cruised with on prior DIS cruises.

Carol
It's a great day to be alive!!!

Since I've never done a cruise before what's the best way to get from the port to the airport at the end of the cruise? Taxi or would I be better off with a town car service?

I do hope you can still sign up for the transfer from the Swan/Dolphin to the port, plan on staying a few nights there before the cruise(am booking through dreams through the special rates page). I joined sometime after the offer of the free transfer anyone know if I would have to pay or if I'm able to hitch a ride? I'm willing to pay for it I just need to know how much so I can budget properly. I know it sounds silly that I have to budget like this but it makes a difference on how long I can stay at the Swan. Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Port Everglades is VERY close to Ft Lauderdale Airport. The most convenient way would probably be a taxi.
