I think a 24hr show would be pushing it. poor Lou, can he not just enjoy a holiday...

Also whats internet like on the cruise ships?

While this could certainly be cool for those who arent coming-This really isn't technically feasible. Ship wifi is PAINFULLY slow and unreliable (and expensive). And international roaming charges to use some kind of mobile broadband option like a mi-fi or a aircard would be prohibitively expensive for 24 hours.

Wifi is NOT free on the Magic or Wonder - or any other ship I have been on. So I doubt it will be on the Dream.

Really? I didn't know that!

Lol that's my fun fact for the day!

I think on podcast #143 Beci said something about the teens having Wifi or maybe the cruise website said something about that... Don't remember. I wonder if it will be free.

My experience isn't in the kid or teen clubs - it's wifi and Internet cafe for me. Info is here: Internet and Cellular Services | Disney Cruise Line

Free wifi or not there is no way in H-E double hockey sticks that Lou is going to do a 24 hr. live show from the cruise. He's going to be so busy running around and I'm sure he has tons planned already that there wouldn't be any time to do it. MAYBE he'll have his meet of the month once we are back to port and broadcast that live but that's probably it.

Tammy- I did more searching and the Internet in the teen club is for an additional fee according to the Disney website. Even if it was free since it's the teen club it wouldn't be available for Lou to use for a 24 hr broadcast since it's the teen club.

And the reason the dream wasn't listed yet is because it's not sailing yet. I'm sure Disney will add dream and it's Internet pricing when it gets closer to the inaugural sailing.

I'm with you Lori. I'm sure there are a zillion plans in the works already. Hopefully Lou will find some time to relax with his family on this trip too!!!!

I do wish Lou would do another LIVE broadcast soon. Even though he might not be able to do a 24 hr show I would really like to have an update after the cruise about how it was. A meet would be interesting to see from the Box. Just got my own U-Stream account and now instead of just watching I can chat with the other Box people! So if you can read this Lou, could you please do a Live session at the meet after the cruise if you have one?

I voted no. He's bringing his family on the cruise and they deseve an "awake" Dad.

Not to mention internet connectivity on the Disney cruise lines is horrid!

**Hypermommy** · 06-19-2010, 06:42 AM

Not a 24 hour show. The expenses of that much airtime at sea would probably be absolutely staggering! But it would be nice if he could schedule an hour or two so we can go along on the cruise even if in the box.
