Julie's question about when we would arrive at WDW made me think. How many of us are going to WDW after the cruise?
We are staying Thursday & Friday night at Boardwalk. I'm not sure about what parks we'll be doing, but we'll be having fun.
We're staying at BCV for 4 nights after the cruise. Our daughter will be in 2nd grade, but September is our favorite time (and most convenient) of the year to vacation. I do think that as she gets older it will be harder to do this, but for now I have no problem.
And some comments on other posts from today (boy, it has been busy while I was away!):
Someone asked about timing for getting to WDW after the cruise. When we did it in 2003 we were back to WDW by 10:30. We used Art's Transportation, and he even gave us a free grocery stop to get things for our "home away from home." I believe we were in the 1st group to have to disembark the ship.
The water at
Castaway Cay in September 2003 was warm. Snorkeling was very comfortable in a swimsuit.
We were only on a 3 night cruise, but we did use the shoe holder for all kinds of things. It was great--instead of having things out on the desk, we had the camera, suntan lotion, and on and on in there. I will definitely take it again. The other thing I found invaluable was the mesh collapsable laundry hamper. I take it anytime we are gone, even if we are staying with relatives out of town.
Now a question for you experienced cruisers:
When they have rebooking specials on the ship, is that for cash only, or can you get a significant discount on use of points?
