One of the reasons I liked it is because it is Disney enough to be good service but most of the time I didn't feel like I was surrounded by Disney. I ignored most of the Disney-specific stuff.

But it was a great time.

OMG. Photo op for the trip this August! :snap: :evil:

Hmmm....I might be willing to try to postpone my planned cruise until later in 08 if there were actual plans for on-board swankery.

Anyone lined up to book their trip on the 31st? Keeping your travel dates secret so we won't end up on the same cruise? :p

From the release posted on MousePad, it states that the 15-night Panama Canal repos will start at $1,699 per person, yet the 7-night Mexican Riviera cruises will start at $1,599. Seeing as one of those is obviously the better deal, guess which one I'm looking at. :D

I wish I could do a repositioning! Alas, I can't bring myself to be away from the cats for that long. (sometimes Boris won't eat when I'm gone, although he does like my primary pet sitter.)

:D

I'll be going on the westbound PC crossing next May!!! :D

It will be my parents, a good friend, and me. (Ken can't go due to work/school constraints.)

Who's up for Swanking at Sea? At $1,699 per person for 15 nights, it's a steal. And the Panama Canal is swanktacular.

You have to go. ;)

Cherny and I are considering going on the repositioning too.

We could totally have a swanking!

C'mon.... you know you wanna do it.... all the cool kids are doing it....

:evil:

I'm just excited because I've never been to Central or South America (hell, I've never been to Mexico, unless you count downtown LA). Okay, the Magic is cool too, but... the Panama Canal!!!!

Plus, how hard is it to plan a trip that's like 16 months away? Totally doable!

Okay, a quick thought, for those of us who are into coordinating swankings... shall we arrange a mutually beneficial dinner seating time? And does that have to be done at the time of booking, or is that chosen later?

And, it's 100% refundable (including the deposit) up until February 10th, 2008. 'Tis best to throw down that $500 deposit on a spot, and then back out later, instead of missing a prime opportunity. And, from what I've seen across Disney boards, it's going to sell out quickly.

Bookings open at 5am PST on January 31st (in less than 2 weeks).
