Sorry that the hold up changed your plans with the back to back cruises but a 5 day Double Dip sounds hevenly...

Hope you hear some news from the job soon...

Congrats on the one cruise! I really hate how Disney does their cruise booking. The amount of people "double booking" rooms on the phone and computer with no intent on using both rooms is part of the reason the prices shoot up so quickly. It's pretty messed up.

I hope to hear about your new job soon!

I'm just getting caught up again! I love your apartment! All the Disney touches make it seem like home. The dinner at O'Hana's looked great! I love O'Hana's and make sure I eat there each time I am at WDW. I'm so jealous that you can go anytime you want! Good luck on booking a cruise. I'm sure you and your DM will have a great time. I hope you hear about the job soon. Waiting is the worst part. It sounds like you have a lot of experience, so if they are smart they should be hiring you right away. Good luck, and keep us posted!

Update 10/15

So anyone who has read my reports knows that I have a disease called "changemytripitis" and that the more I think about something the more I change it

Well yesterday was the Cruise Booking Day and while I was excited to be going on another cruise which is truely a blessing I was bothered by the cost and the fact it was THAT much for only 5 nights.

I really was prepared to spend that on 2 cruises as it was forecasted to cost. Well tonight I went online and was messing around with DCL's website and found that they had a Eastern and Western Caribbean Cruise in January 2010 that was going to cost about $150 more then the 5 night cruise in July. are you serious?!? That's 14 nights on the ship, 2 stops at CC, 5 ports, 5 days at sea and 14 NIGHTS!!!!!

So we called got the one we booked yesterday transferred to the January 16th Eastern and I booked the January 23rd Western online to use the online credit and the 50% discount on deposit.

We got a Secret Porthole room on the Port side and we don't have to change rooms!!! We get the same room for both Cruises!

We are now Pysched about the cruise because of the legnth and the fact we get new ports, 2 CC days and 5 glorious sea days!

Now we just have to get word about me getting a job!!!!

Still waiting on that front!
