I already have my airline tickets bought arriving on April 14th, 2005. Had planned to wait for AP rates for resort stay then just realized there was a cruise leaving the day we arrive. So I'm thinking about it..... Curious who else has already booked and how long ago did you book? Concerned I might be too late. Sam's Club website says I would have to go with 2nd seating. Maybe we'll just go with original plan and stay all seven nites @ WDW. Just came back from a split stay @ Pop/YC w/ my two boys and really didn't mind the unpacking and repacking. And yes, we feel very fortunate to have just dodged Frances! Any thoughts for a first time cruiser would be really appreciated. Thanks, Maggie
