lunch time

Wow you beat me to it. I was so close.

[JOANNEL]

It's going to be in the low 50's here on Sunday. I can't wait.
I hate the snow, I just wish I could find a good IT job somewhere in Florida. Life would be great then! :woohoo:
There are always IT jobs in the paper- but the pay here in the panhandle stinks compared to the rest of the world. Price you pay for living at the beach.

[JOANNEL]

Thanks guys that was fun. I guess I better go. have a great lunch hour. Talk to you later

[WDWLVR]

Congrats Joanne on getting the mega pirate for post #2000!

[JOANNEL]

Thanks guys, that was fun.

Gary have a great cruise.

Every one else happy friday,

[TnRobin]

Way to go Joanne. Congrats on the pirate.:banana:

It has been a dreary day here at work. I am watching the clock until 5:00.

I will call DVC tommorrow and find out more details on the Grand Gathering. anyone who wants to be included will need to send me thier reservation numbers. I will also make sure that we can include those who are staying off site.

[WDWLVR]

Thanks Robin! It is a dreary day here as well. I sent you a pm with our reservation info.

[acourtwdw2]

I got our ressie for after the cruise today. AKV Savannah view until Sunday-waitlisted for Concierge Level. BCV Sunday-Tuesday. Hope everyone enjoyed thier extra day.

Amanda

[acourtwdw]

Can I steal Amanda's pirate since she is my sister? I would have kept posting this morning, but I had to go to work.

It's going to in the 40's here on Sunday. In our area that is a heat wave. Yesterday at the grocery store they had tulips and all I could think of was spring.

It's ESPN weekend at DHS. We should be there!

Have a great night everyone. Gary & family enjoy your vacation.

Annette

[iluvdisney]

Robin - sent you a PM with the ressie info for Karen and me.

Leaving town again on Wednesday - going on another non-Disney cruise with Karen and Carol (my cruisemates from our Hawaii cruise last fall) - sure do hope the weather does me some good. This winter has really taken it's toll on me and I can't spend too much time on the computer because it can be painful to type sometimes - the dr is trying a different med on me to help but says the trip should do me a world of good.

I'll try and check up on the plans when I can.

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone! Happy Saturday!

Mary - sorry to hear you are in so much pain. Hopefully the warm weather of the caribbean will help. Enjoy your cruise! :hug:

[danandnan]

Good morning from the Snowy state of Maine. Yes it's snowing again. I hope it lets up because today we celebrate our youngest grand childs birthday 2 years. We are going to his party later on .
Joan I hope it has warmed up in Florida.
Im glad this week is over after getting our Beach Club reservations staightned out. Im glad Members Services were so helpful.
Joan was that a picture of you cake you posted if so it looked delish.
Oh by the way how do get a Pirate.? Please explain.
Everybody have a great weekend.
danandnan

[JOANNEL]

Good morning all,

Robin I just pm'd you our res #. If we need to double up to get more folks in feel free to use ours.

Dan, I was post # 2000.

I was a winner at Bunco last night a big $30.00. But I was not good at the diet thing. Didn't have any meat but sure had some Pina Colada's and desserts!!!!! I guess I better go for a real long walk today.

It is going to be a nice sunny day here today.


Have a great Saturday.

[WDWLVR]

Dan - maybe I can help with the pirate thing. Every post has a number assigned to it in the upper right hand corner. Well in the pirate game as Gary explained it every 100th post gets a pirate and some larger mileston posts (lke the 1000th and 2000th get even more). So if you are the poster who posts the 2100th post on this thread (our next pirate milestone) you get a pirate!

Just a fun little game to play as we are planning the cruise. Mark has two honorary pirates in his signature given to him by Tina and Robin but I don't think Gary has that in his official count. I hope I explained that well enough.

[JOANNEL]

Dan- that is the chocolate souffle from Palo's dinner. It was fabulous.

Have fun at the birthday party- is that the cute little blond one? I hope the snow lets up.

[WDWLVR]

Congrats on the Bunco win Joanne. Since it is so nice there you will just have to walk or ride those desserts off!

[danandnan]

Wow Joan I guess we will have to have that when we have Brunch.
Thanks Mary for the pirate update . Now I think I got it. I will have to work on a pirate
Joan since we have gottin back from the Cruise in Oct what I weighted when I left and when I got back I had gained 4 pounds since then I have dropped off another 6. My doctor would love to see me at 200. If so I have 5 to go.
Not bad when I retired almost 3 years ago I was 227 so I have been working it. I think with with Nancy on Weight watchers the past few years and me following along with her and good walks and the treadmill we are getting there.

Mary - sorry to hear you are in so much pain. Hopefully the warm weather of the caribbean will help. Enjoy your cruise! :hug:

Weather forecast for the southern Caribbean looks pretty good-Mary's achy bones should be happy.:cool1:
We're heading down to OKW Wed for 2 nights there before flying down to San Juan for 1 day there pre-cruise . Looking forward to the Pirate and Princess Party on the 6th. pirate: princess:
We'll be back at OKW for 3 nights to relax after 1 night in San Juan post-cruise. There's only 1 sea day on our sailing, so we'll be kind of busy on the cruise. The 3 days back at our "home" should help ease us back to reality ;)

[acourtwdw2]

Everyone who is traveling have a safe and fun trip. - I'm jealous.

Mary and Joanne enjoy the sun. Dont tell anyone but its here today i think its lost. It wasnt here much in Feb.

Have a great day everyone.

[WDWLVR]

It is a beautiful day here in Chicagoland as well. The sun is shining and the snow is melting!

Karen - I haven't been to San Juan in years but really enjoyed it when we did go. What other ports are you going to?

8 weeks from today we sail on the Disney Magic on an Eastern cruise. I'm so looking forward to getting back on the Magic.

[CarolAnnC]

Hi everyone! Have been super busy at work so not much time to catch up on the internet here. Sounds like you are all busy yourselves with work and traveling!

Isn't our booking window for Palo's coming up soon? Hope you all enjoy your weekends...

Can you tell me more concerning this? I am curious about it.

Thanks!

[TnRobin]

No problem.

We are trying to link our reservations together so that we can be considered a "Grand Gathering." By doing this we will be able to book the International Dinner and Illuminations Dessert Reception on the Saturday before we cruise. See page 127 post #1895 for details and price for the dinner. In addition to this, it sounds like we can also get special merchandise too.

[figmentnnemo]

Is the Grand Gathering actually happening?

We plan on coming down Friday and spending two nights at Animal Kingdom--we splurged for Saturday and got a Savannah view room. :wizard:

[figmentnnemo]

Is anyone up for the Grand Gathering character breakfast at Tony's before we board the ship, IF it's available??? It looks like it would be a great kick-off to the cruise.

FROM THE DISNEY WEBSITE: Good Morning Character Breakfast
Start the morning with Tony, the proprietor from "Lady and the Tramp," at his Tony's Town Square Restaurant for a fun-filled breakfast with plenty of Character. Mingle with Mickey while you enjoy the delicious dishes of an all-you-can-eat breakfast. Then sing and dance with your Disney pals or talk to them tableside. Tony will be happy to recognize birthdays and special occasions along with a special serenade of "Bella Notte" for anniversaries. After breakfast, take Tony up on his invitation to visit Mickey's PhilharMagic, one of the most popular attractions in Magic Kingdom® Park, for reserved seating at the very next show. Theme park admission is required.

Price:
Adults and Juniors - $29.99, Children (ages 3-9) - $17.99 (available 180 days prior)

Sounds like fun but we'll have to take a pass on that. Sunday morning will be early Mass and then heading over to the ship.

[danandnan]

That might be a good idea for some but we would not be doing that. It would be a waste of a day's pass for us who don't have annual passes. Also I think we might be a bit rushed because that's the morning we have to have our luggage ready for the cruise and the bus transportaion. So we will be eating breakfast at our resort.
danandnan

[WDWLVR]

Even though she's no longer sailing with us I wanted to wish Kay a very Happy Birthday! :cake:

Also we missed one a few weeks ago. Happy Belated Birthday to Michael (time4disneynow) :cake:

[TnRobin]

Dan and Nancy

I also need your address. don't post it here but send me a PM or an email. TnRobin@wdwinfo.com

[acourtwdw]

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Thanks so much

Good morning Member Cruisers
We sail in 29 weeks!


Woo Hoo - we are now in the twenties!

[danandnan]

Good morning all. Before I forget HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAY. Last night we went to you son's house to celebrate his second birthday
Ate to much cake and Ice cream but had a good time.Everybody have a great Sunday.
danandnan

[danandnan]

Went to sons house to celebrate my grandsons second birthday.

[JOANNEL]

Good morning all,

Happy Birthday Kay!!!

Figmento- we will have to pass also, that would be way to hectic- we like to get to the terminal early. We will catch something quick at the hotel and then drive over.

Have a great Sunday.

[danandnan]

Hi Joan you and Nancy are on the same wave lenght She feels the same way . Eat breakfast at the resort because we will have to have our luggage ready for the bus early and be ready. The night before will be fine.
Got go out and clean out end of driveway sidewalk made a mess when he went by. Catch you later
danandnan

[JOANNEL]

What time does the bus leave? We left around 8:30 or nine I don't remember. We got to the port just as they were allowing cars in. We got card # 3. We had lunch and then went to the bar to watch football. I hope the weather is better this year so I can sit in the sun. Roger can watch football if the Patriots are on.

Have fun shoveling..Hoping for some sun time here.

Have a great Sunday.

[acourtwdw2]

Another beautiful day here in Michigan. We havnt decided on how we are getting to the port yet but we like to be there early so breakfast will be either on the way there or at the resort. Everyone have a great Sunday.

Amanda

[danandnan]

The bus leaves about noon so you guys will beat us to the boat.
When I talked to Member Services last week they said we didn't have to make resivations on the bus until thre days out so Nanc said we will call before wefly out on th 9/15 or before.
No sence charging $120.00 until you have to we did get the Magical express from the airport. There is no charge for that.
Just got in from doing driveway now will go help Nanc .
catch you later.
danandnan

[KarenNY]

Is anyone up for the Grand Gathering character breakfast at Tony's before we board the ship, IF it's available??? It looks like it would be a great kick-off to the cruise

We'll have to pass. Sun morning will be Mass for me. We'll then probably have a leisurely breakfast before heading over to the port, hopefully arriving around noon. Usually we rent a car at the airport (Avis or Budget) and then drop it off at the port. It's more economical than DCL transfers. We'll then pick up a car at the port when we get off the ship and return it to the airport when we head home.

[danandnan]

Hi Karen.
How far is it from the place you drop off the rental car to the terminal? Is it an easy process? How much is it per day? In the past we have used DCL bus but as you say that is expensive. We aren't renting a car at the airport but we are considering renting one at the resort for the day over to port & then again for the day back to BCV. Might be a more economical deal. We are using Magical Express from airport & back.

Nancy

[cobbler]

Happy Birthday Kay!!!

Wow, 29 weeks. I can hardly wait. But at the same time I can because it will mean summer is on the way out and winter is right around the corner. I am just trying to get out of the one I am currently in. Anyone up here in the midwest feels my pain.

It's gloomy today but at least I hear melting :)

Avis and Budget have offices near the Port Canaveral and offer free shuttle service form the port to the office. Their offices near WDW are on Hotel Plaza Blvd (Avis at Hilton and Budget at the Doubletree). I've never spent more than $50 for a 1 day rental.

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone. Happy Monday!

Karen thanks for the info on car rentals. We were trying to help Dan and Nancy on the phone yesterday but we had only rented at the airport. We knew Alamo was at the Dolphin but didn't know if they offer shuttles at the port. It sounds like Avis or Budget are the ways to go.

Dan - it was great talking to you and Nancy. Hope you enjoy the warm weather and sunshine we had yesterday. It is the least we can do is send that to you since we send you all that snow. :)

Have a great day everyone!

Karen, How do you get from your Disney hotel to the car rental office at the Hilton or Doubletree or is it close enough to some of them to walk? Also, why do it this way versus renting at the airport for 24 hours?

[JOANNEL]

Good morning all,

Hope every one had a nice week end. The weather was really nice here. Went for a bike ride on the beach yeserday. Was a little windy so the ride back was a little tough. But made up for the Pina Colada's I drank Friday night. The solar heater on our pool is leaking so we missed all week end of warming the water...... I hope they come soon.

have a great monday!

[WDWLVR]

Happy Birthday Jennifer (Eeyore77)!:cake:

[danandnan]

Well for now it's a nice morning. Later on today we are expecting rain then changing over to freezing rain. I hope we can get a walk in before it starts because I had a bad weekend to much Ice Cream and cake at our grandsons birthday. Mary it was great talking to you and Mark yesterday about car transportation. We appreciate your insite .
Been busy this morning. washed kitchen floor and did the vacuuming of stairs and foyer. My weekly chores HA HA

[disrailfan]

We may not be the most creative group but we are an agreeable group. :goodvibes


That is for sure we are agreeable. :)

Now if I can just get the next Pirate. pirate:

[JOANNEL]

only 17 to go

[WDWLVR]

Here's a post to get us to the next pirate: :)

[JOANNEL]

I am stuffing envelopes right now for end of month statements so it boring............ One of the jobs I inheritted when we downsized.

[JOANNEL]

How do I get the member cruise logo on here. I tried but failed.

[Time4disneynow]

Here's my post......13 to go;)

[WDWLVR]

How do I get the member cruise logo on here. I tried but failed.

If you mean the one in my signature the details are on the website:
To add this logo to your signature, just cut and paste this line into your UserCp:
[ img ]http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/data/500/36347sailinga.gif[ /img ]

Just need to close up the gaps in the IMG brackets. If you are looking for the animated one just click on it, grab the properties and do the same thing.

[WDWLVR]

Joanne you might also want to re-arrange your signature a bit to allow for the graphic. Maybe listing your past cruises more horizontally instead of vertically.

[JOANNEL]

I give up, I am just so computer challenged.

[WDWLVR]

I give up, I am just so computer challenged.

You are almost there. You just need to put a / before the img at the end only. Once you do that it should work.

[JOANNEL]

?????

[WDWLVR]

?????

You did it! :thumbsup2

[JOANNEL]

I don't see it. all I see is a red x. I guess this work computer won't allow certain things. I will try at home. i am glad you see it. Thanks for your help.

[WDWLVR]

I don't see it. all I see is a red x. I guess this work computer won't allow certain things. I will try at home. i am glad you see it. Thanks for your help.

Can you see mine on your work computer? If so you should be able to see yours. You might want to try refresh. That might help.

[JOANNEL]

I can see your biggest loser and the resort ones, but you also have a box with a red x. So does time for disney. Weird that it shows some and not others,

[JOANNEL]

How's you weather up there? I see a bad line of storms coming our way and going all the way up. It was very windy today while we had lunch at the beach:rolleyes1

[WDWLVR]

I can see your biggest loser and the resort ones, but you also have a box with a red x. So does time for disney. Weird that it shows some and not others,

Very strange. Definately something on your end. Hopefully you will see it at home. Looks good from this end.

[manascarfan]

Very strange. Definately something on your end. Hopefully you will see it at home. Looks good from this end.

Mary,

Your logo appears to be cut off as well.

[manascarfan]

I don't see it. all I see is a red x. I guess this work computer won't allow certain things. I will try at home. i am glad you see it. Thanks for your help.

Your logo looks good Joanne.

[WDWLVR]

In true pirate form the pirate: is grabbed at the last minute by Dave & Tayna! Congrats!

Guess your screen is a different resolution than mine. It looks fine on mine both at work and home. :confused3 I have seen others that looked cut off and I'm just assuming to them it looks fine as well.



PDFG and all our friends who need it!

Almost forgot to answer this as we were getting close and I didn't want to steal the pirate away from someone else.

Most of the storms missed us. At least the snow part. It was grey and dreary all day with rain but that's fine with me. Still cold enough that I stayed in for lunch...no walks at the beach for me. I might be in better shape if I lived down by you and could walk every day at lunch. Hopefully spring will be here soon and I can do more lunchtime walking. In the meantime I'm walking indoors with Leslie Sansone.

[danandnan]

It's about that book the new earth.

Thanks for the Birthday Well wishes. My husband took me up to Orlando for the weekend and we celebrated my birthday up there. We had a great time. He took me to Tony's for dinner on Sat. night and then went to both Epcot and the Magic Kingdom on Sunday. We stayed in a one bedroom Concierge level room this time at AKV and it was soooo nice. It was all that was left on Club level when we booked so we splurged a little. I never wanted to come back home last night... LOL:rotfl:

[KarenNY]

Karen, How do you get from your Disney hotel to the car rental office at the Hilton or Doubletree or is it close enough to some of them to walk? Also, why do it this way versus renting at the airport for 24 hours?

I always rent at the airport and have a car for my entire WDW stay whether it's 1 day or several.
I think Nancy said they were using DME and only wanted to rent the car for the trip to the port.
National/Alamo have offices on site at WDW but I think you have to take a cab from their office near the port.
Avis and Budget may offer shuttle service to the offices in the hotels near Downtown Disney.

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone!

Happy Birthday Gail (DW of OKWMember).
Hope you are enjoying your cruise! :cake:

[iluvdisney]

I'm am so out of here tomorrow and this must be a sign - this is what I saw when I backed out of my driveway this morning - do you see it?

That is way too funny.

[WDWLVR]

Definately a sign that Mickey misses you Mary!

[danandnan]

Well nanc and I recovered from watching the grandchildren last night. Just jokeing they are great kids. Grampa also get a chance to watch some of his TV shows on my son's new 42 inch flat panal HD TV. Some day we might be able to get one.
I just got back from filling up the gas can I use for blowing snow. Just getting ready for the next one tomorrow althought they say it might be mostly rain. We will see.
Nanc is out getting her annual physical as we speak. I hope it goes well she is in good shape and we take care of ourselves. When she gets back I think we will go for a walk its a beautiful day about 45 degrees and the sun is bright.
Catch you all later
danandnan

[seaulater]

Morning all. I am back home :confused3 . Don't know how that happened.

Really enjoyed the little mini 3 night cruise. Too short! Hercules has already been loaded off the ship :mad: so I didn't get to see it one last time. They had All About the Story on the first night. Toy Story premieres on the March 20th cruise. It will be the final night of the cruise for the 3 night. THey say it is going to be the best show ever. The new cast was on and in rehearsals. Old cast gets off the ship on the 20th. So, totally whole new cast.

Cruise was great. Now back at the office and buried under the middle of the Girl Scout cookie sale and starting to track all that $$$ coming in.

Okay, so I'll check back in soon. I did get to eat dinner with Ashley and Karen from the UK who have been on past member cruise and we had a really nice dinner. Went to the buffet over at Fort. Wilderness in the back where the hoop de doo is. Never been there. It was pretty fun. Guess I need to go to the Hoop de doo sometime.

Talk to you soon.

[TnRobin]

Happy Birthday Gail.

Also Mary - I too think it is a sign. Mickey is calling.

[WDWLVR]

Linda I think Trails End is one of those hidden gems of WDW. They also do a great breakfast buffet which we did in December before doing the Ft. Wilderness Segways.

That's great that you got to meet up with old friends. Always fun!

Welcome home!

[JOANNEL]

Hi all,

Slow day on this thread. Really busy at work so didn't have much time too even check on it. This doing two jobs is getting old.

I emailed member services yesterday to get some rooms for after the cruise. they told me everything was full. Yikes. I will have to call tomorrow.

Brought the computer home to do some work.

Have a great evening.

[JOANNEL]

Welcome back Linda,

Any new food items? How was the weather?

[cobbler]

I was hoping they would put a Halloween Party night on Thursday the day we get off the ship. Friday night would be super busy I think - although maybe not since it is so early in the season.

Hubby really wants to go to the Halloween Party and collect the candy, we still have some left over from last year's party after the cruise.

[JOANNEL]

We went last year too. We sent all the candy back to college with our youngest. He and his girfriend met us after the cruise. I more enjoyed the rides without lines, the parade and the fireworks were fabulous. Somuch more than the regular ones. The decorations were fun and the workers in the haunted mansion had great make up.

[danandnan]

What a workaholic or is just dedication HA Ha just joking girl. Instead of E-Mailing Member Services call I bet you will have better luck.
Before I forget it Joan did you get the E-mail Nancy sent you thanking you and Rog . It was sent Sunday night.
danandnan

[danandnan]

IF you call Member services tomorrow let them know what resort you want and they will put you on a wait list. If somethings opens up they will call you or you can call them. Just an idea.
danandnan

[JOANNEL]

No, the only email I got was speeding ticket one.

No workaholic here. I just have this massive spreadheet that I can work on while watching Amercan Idol!!!

How does the waitlist work? When will we know? I may just make reservations at Shades of green to be safe.

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone - happy Wednesday!

We've found that the Friday night MNSSHP are a little too crowded for our tastes as they have a lot of locals. The mid-week ones tend to be more enjoyable.

[JOANNEL]

Good morning all,

Woke up to 40 degrees!!!! This is Florida. My kids will be home this wek end for Spring Break. Definately not beach weather.

Have a great day.

[WDWLVR]

We had some fun at our house last night. Mark is always looking at the new releases on video and came home yesterday with the first season of The Love Boat! Corny but fun to watch. I so remember when that was first run and how impressive the Pacific Princess was. By today's standards it would be a tiny ship. I actually got to see it once when I was in Acapulco at the same time. They wouldn't let us go on board (even though we were allowed an another Princess ship earlier that same trip.

[JOANNEL]

How fun I used to love that show.

[JOANNEL]

I am on the phone with member services. Amazing they have the rooms. I wonder why they told me no yesterday. We are staying at Animal Kingdom. I am so excited, this is a new one for us!!!

[TnRobin]

I was just sent the most awesome video link by a fellow Scout leader. I hope I do not offend anyone by posting a link to a Christian Song, but I just loved this church's performance to this song. Plus it is one of my favorite songs. I know a few have talked about attending Mass on Sunday before the cruise, so I thought a few here would enjoy it. Watch it to the end.

http://www.mychurch.org/blog/30635

[JOANNEL]

That was very sweet. Thanks for sharing. You guys are good about going to Church on Sunday morning. We are Saturday nighters so we usually don't get there when on vacation.

have any of you ever stayed at Aninal Kingdom? Are there any hints for things to do while there? I saw the early morning safari on the travel channel. member services told me to sign up when we get there. Does it not sell out? What about Disney Dining? Do you think it's worth it? Last year we went to Universal so we didn't need it but it sounds like a good idea.

[cherylp3]

I think I'm the only Jewish person in our group. I usually go on Friday nights, sometimes Sat. morning.

Very cool - thanks for sharing that Robin!

[danandnan]

Well finally got the driveway done.Every inch of it was ice underneith ,and three inches of sluch on top. I have my own river at the end of the driveway. They haven,t plowed yet.
Joan great talking to you this morning and I see you and Nancy have Parlo's all squared away. Seeig you and rog are staying at The Animal Kingdom Lodge you can't miss breakfast at Boma,s. It,s a buffet all you can eat and it's great. Nancy and I have eaten there three times for breakfast.
As I told you this morning Joan we had to go to our tax lady. I think we are going to be ok. One good thing we found out we both have Health savings accounts in the bank. We were never sure exactly how to use them and get the tax break. She explained how to do it.
Well enough jabbering catch everybody later.
PS ROBIN how is the gathering shaping up?

[TnRobin]

I am awaiting the assignment of our Gathering Number, then we can start making real plans.

We stayed there when it first opened (before we were members) and it was less than $100 per night. Did you get Savannah view? We loved it. We are waitlisted for conceierge level for the upcoming trip. I thought the early morning was only for conceierge level. Maybe I'm wrong. We are at AKL for 2 nights then we move to BCV.

Did anyone who was on the cruise last year that bought more points receive the etched glas dish yet?

...Beastly pirate:

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone. Happy Thursday!

Bruce - sorry to hear you haven't received your dish yet. You would have thought they would have had those ready in just a couple of months. Have you tried calling Member Services?

Yes, we got a Savanah view. That would be a bummer about the early morning. I only saw it on the travel channel, so I am not sure. Maybe you could book it for us!!!!:rolleyes1

Well have a great day, have a lot of house work to do tonight since the kids will be home and one is bringing the girlfriend!

Dan it was great talking to you guys also. I am glad we don't have to deal with all that winter.

[acourtwdw]

Yes, we got a Savanah view. That would be a bummer about the early morning. I only saw it on the travel channel, so I am not sure. Maybe you could book it for us!!!!:rolleyes1

.

There is a sunset safari that ends with dinner at Jiko. We are thinking about that one. It is open to all guests staying at AKL.

[seaulater]

Welcome back Linda,

Any new food items? How was the weather?

New menu items in Palo's! I did eat in Palo's the first night and it was wonderful.

The weather was COLD in Florida. I got there right at the end of the cold spell they were having. Once we left port and headed south it started warming up. I never got off the ship in Nassau but read out at the pool all day in the shade. A couple of times I got up and went and sat by the pool to warm up because there was a breeze that once in a while got a little cool.

At Castaway Cay, my plan was to spend the whole day on the adult beach. I got there at 9:30 and then did my cabana massage at 10 a.m. I stayed on the adult beach, had lunch and then headed over to the family beach about 1p.m. It was quite breezy on the adult beach and the breeze was cool, but the sun was out and it was warm (except for the darn wind!)

I moved over to the family beach, found a quiet spot and read most of the afternoon until it was time for the DVC celebration back on board at 3 p.m. The family beach was very nice, they don't get the wind like they do at Serenity Bay.

By the time we came back in Sunday, it had warmed up and was real nice.

A great, relaxing trip!

[seaulater]

Last year we went to Universal so we didn't need it but it sounds like a good idea.

We stayed one night at the Animal Kingdom last Thanksgiving in one of the new 2 bedroom units with a savannah view after being on the Magic for Thanksgiving. We loved it. Just enjoyed sitting on the verandah and watching the animals.

On the Disney Dining, it really depends what your dining habits are. Our family does not eat sit down meals every day and eat the amount of food and snacks that the dining plan allows, so you have to decide if you normally would sit down and eat all the meals. If you do, I think it is a good deal. We have done it once and I wrote down the price we would have paid for everything we ate and we more than got the $$ back out of it, however, we usually don't eat expensive sit down dinners. But it was fun because we were with a whole group of people.

[acourtwdw2]

We've done the basic dining plan twice and loved it. The only problem i have with it is you need to make ADR's at the better places so if it is a spur of the moment trip you cant always get the ressie you want. We are thinking of trying the deluxe in Sept so i can go to CRT and then thiers the grand gathering that will be covered. We figured out where and what we would eat at the beginning of our trip and doing the deluxe dinning we saved $120 without figuring in the snacks and the cup. We always use our snack credits for gifts for the family. I was talking to my mom because they may come with us and she asked how you can eat everything you get well its easy you dont always eat everything on your plate or make decisions based on what your eating if the entree is big get a small appitzer and dessert(or get it to go). Hope this helps.

Amanda

My ADRs will be (dining credits) May need to be adjusted for Halloween party
CRT Breakfast(2) Life Long Dream:cloud9:
Le Cellier Dinner(1) Best Salmon
Tusker House Breakfast w Daisy Duck:love: (1)

Last year we went to Universal so we didn't need it but it sounds like a good idea.

We always stay at AKV.... It is my favorite resort. We have stayed on the concierge level the last three trips up there, but we have also stayed in the Savannah view rooms. You have to try Boma while you are there. Jiko is great too, but we love Boma. As for the Sunrise Safari it is open only to concierge Level guests. We did it back in January during our anniversary trip. If you can ever get a room on that level the Safari is wonderful and is well worth the money and the early morning wakeup call. I have not tried the Sunset Safari which is open to eveyone, but I hear it is very nice. I just can't seem to cough up that kind money. As for the dining plan we only got it one time and that was because it was included in the pkg we were buying. I honestly am not sure if it is worth it or not. Hope that you will enjoy your stay. :goodvibes

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone! TGIF!

Anyone got any big plans for the weekend? I'm getting together with some girlfriends for a road trip to an outlet mall in Indiana. Looking for some clothes for our April cruise.

[danandnan]

TGIF Good morning everybody. Well here I set and left to my own devices today. Nancy has gone to sub today. For the first time in a long time she is going to sub 3rd grade. Im sure I will here all about it when she gets home. I can' twait she isn't use to doing the higher grades.
She did leave me a honey do list to keep me busy HA HA.
Mary have a good time shopping. Don't spend to much. Mary we have our transportation to port squared away. Joan and Roger have offered us to ride with them to Port. So that solves our problem and we should be there early.
I told Joan I owe her a couple drinks of the day and Rog a few beers. They are a great couple we have a good time with them.
Catch everybody later
danandnan

[WDWLVR]

Great news Dan! I'm sure you'll have a great time on the way to the port as well. We're doing that with firends in April. They are getting in 2 hours ahead of us, renting a van and then we are all going to the port area together.

[JOANNEL]

Happy Friday,

Mary -have fun shopping.

Not much going on here. The kids are coming home from spring break. So i did alot of house work and some baking last night. Have a 2 hour choir practice tomorrow- to try to get this misfit group ready for Easter. We are so bad............we only have a few that can really sing, the rest of us just try so there is some music. Sunday I have a bridal shower and I volunteered to do the Chocolate fountain--why can't I just keep my mouth shut!!!! I also baby sit on Sunday mornings for a girl who's husband is in Iraq so she can go to church with out the kids- 1 & 3! So I guess I will be a little busy. I am sure both boys will be bringing weeks of laundy.

Dan- make sure you get all your chores done.

We had a storm pass through last night- woke up to patio table smashed all over, So guess what we will be doing tonight!! Luckily it didn't get in the pool. They break in pebbles so it's not dangerous, just messy.

Have a Great Friday.

[danandnan]

Yep I guess you will be shopping for a new Patio Table. Yesterday I was watching horse racing from Tampa Downs they had a Frorida afternoon Thunder Boomer and they held up racing for about 30 min.
I don't think you and Roger live near Tampa do you? Where do you?
The only thing I have to do this morning is wash the kitchen dining room floor and do some vaccumeing. I don't mind doing the floor all I use is a mixture of ammonia and water. It' a Purgo Floor if you didn't know you would think it was a Hard Wood floor. I love it easy to keep clean and is tough as nails.
Well Joan I better get to work.
danandnan

[cherylp3]

no plans here maybe a farmers market or a drive down to wdw.

[acourtwdw2]

Mary are you going to the outlet store in Michigan City? Annette and i stop there whenever we go to Chicago. We love it. Have fun.

Joan be careful with the glass.

Dan dont you love the prego- we put something like it in the bathroom and it is so easy to keep up.

Cheryl- I'm jealous i want to go to wdw.

I'm spending the weekend working on a project for work. Hopefully it will payoff.

Amanda

[WDWLVR]

Mary are you going to the outlet store in Michigan City? Annette and i stop there whenever we go to Chicago. We love it. Have fun.



Yep, going to Lighthouse Place. It will be my first time there and I'm looking forward to it. We've already highlighted the map with what stores we must go to. Just going to be a fun girls day of shopping, lunch and some laughs.

Have fun!!! Just an FYI...Theres a really nice outlet mall in Aurora off 88 at Farnsworth! I go there for purses and clothes at really great prices!

[JOANNEL]

I wished I lived near Tampa, I would be at Disney much more often. We are in the panhandle. Near Ft Walton beach. It's about a six hour ride to WDW. We do have very pretty beaches though. It's about 70 out right now.

Have a great afternoon.

[WDWLVR]

Mary have fun. Have you ordered the discount book? Most outlet places have them you can get online. I know i get one from the one near wdw before we go down.

Yep we joined the VIP club so we've printed out the coupons online and pick up another coupon book when we get there.

Tina - the mall in Aurora will be hit another time. We were just talking at lunch one day and someone mentioned this one so it started rolling into a plan. :)

[danandnan]

You better hold onto your hat Joan I was just listening to CNN Weather and you guys have got some pretty strong storms on the way .
You think loosing you Pato table was bad Joan .After I left the house this morning I went and got my youngest sons check at work because he is home sick with the Flu. After that I went to see my middle son who is home with the kids today. As I was pulling into his driveway I could smell a strong smell.
to make it short it was my brakes on my truck smokeing .I took right to the dealership. Pete followed me a brought me back home.
They called me back to tell me it was going to cost $330.00 to do the job.
So her I set waiting for the phone so I can go pick it up.
Not a good friday
PS THEY JUST CALLED
danandnan

[JOANNEL]

Yikes Dan I hope every one feels better and your truck too. Just keep nancy subbing and she can have it paid for in no time:rolleyes: You were lucky to only be in the drive way and not on the highway.

[cobbler]

My hubby and I were thinking of going to the Lighthouse Place this weekend but alas due to my procrastination we are not.

My goal for spring break was to do a bit of homework, unfortuneatly I was lazy and didn't pick up a single book all week so I have to do much homework.

[TnRobin]

Good morning. Well I have had a busy past 24 hours. Yesterday we had a team building seminar at work. I was in charge of the team building exercises. We had a Office Clue game. It was a blast. I thought some people were going to kill each other trying to sneak and find out other people's clues.

Today was suppose to be equally busy. I was suppose to be at McDonalds at 6am to pick up a load of Boy Scouts to go to a merit Badge university. well we got 3 inches of snow so they cancelled it. While the main street were salted and probably fine, the side streets are untouched. While I feel fine driving in snow, it is the other idiots that worry me. Also, I don't feel right taking other people's kids in my car.

We had a sleepover last night with another scouts, so Matt and friend are in there playing video games.

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone! Happy Saturday!

Robin - the office clue game sounds like fun. We got a little crazy in my office yesterday. Two of our people were on vacation. One of the guys went to Vegas while one of the girls went down to Atlantis. Well the other guys in the office decided to "punk" the Vegas guy. They enclosed his entire cubicle in paper (large rolls left over from printing). They covered everything. Even our boss got into the act leaving him a note on the outside saying he had two new jobs in there and 5 minutes to find them. :) Since we didn't want the girl to feel left out, but really aren't into punking we decorated her office with snowflakes left over from the Christmas pot luck and put a snowman on her desk welcoming her back to the frozen north. :)

No snow for us so I'll be heading out in about 2 hours for shopping with the girls. Wish me luck!

[JOANNEL]

Good morning all from sunny Florida- it's 39 degrees!!!! These poor kids are home for Spring break. Not much beach weather!!!

Mary- happy shopping.

Robin- snow in Nashville, that's only 6 hours from here--If it's going to be this cold snow would be fun.

Have a great Saturday. I am off to - laundry- grocery shopping and choir practice!!

[acourtwdw2]

Sunny, cold and beautiful here in MI. I'm off to shop and then we are putting together 40 spring pots for potential clients. I will try to post it once i have them done. Hope everyone has a great saturday.

Amanda

ps only 2 weeks until i can do my ADR's

[tikimimi]

I was just sent the most awesome video link by a fellow Scout leader. I hope I do not offend anyone by posting a link to a Christian Song, but I just loved this church's performance to this song. Plus it is one of my favorite songs. I know a few have talked about attending Mass on Sunday before the cruise, so I thought a few here would enjoy it. Watch it to the end.

http://www.mychurch.org/blog/30635

Robin - That was awesome! I love interp and sign language, and this has some of both with the special black effect. I have forwarded it to the person in charge of this sort of thing at my school. I know she will love it. Thanks for sharing!

[tikimimi]

Okay - I realize I am not on here as much as I would like. I have spent some time going back through old posts, because we now have our ressie for the night before the cruise. The Meet and Greet the group is planning the day before the cruise - this is scheduled to be where and when again please? Then the dinner or what is being called the Grand Gathering - is that just our group from here, other cruise bound folks too, or what? Where and when is it? Does it require park admission?

Thanks for the information and for your patience with me. I want to be on here more often, but I can't seem to find a way to my job in less than 12 hours a day and that doesn't leave me much time to be a wife and mom, much less a Dis-surfer... much to my dismay.

[tinkerbelle77]

Happy Saturday to everyone! :) Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Today is my grandma's 75th birthday, and I am taking her to dinner this evening, tomorrow we are having a surprise party for her, so dinner is to make her not suspicious. Ususally we take her to dinner, so its like a normal routine! Should be alot of fun!

[cherylp3]

Mimi , The meet as of now if 3pm at the beach club solariium (it might change if dvc does something )

The dinner is at Epcot so park admission is needed. It would be dinner and fireworks I believe. It is just our group. Not sure on the time but it would be at the oddessey restaurant. Contact TNrobin for details.

Then the dinner or what is being called the Grand Gathering - is that just our group from here, other cruise bound folks too, or what? Where and when is it? Does it require park admission?

Thanks for the information and for your patience with me. I want to be on here more often, but I can't seem to find a way to my job in less than 12 hours a day and that doesn't leave me much time to be a wife and mom, much less a Dis-surfer... much to my dismay.

[tikimimi]

Mimi , The meet as of now if 3pm at the beach club solariium (it might change if dvc does something )

The dinner is at Epcot so park admission is needed. It would be dinner and fireworks I believe. It is just our group. Not sure on the time but it would be at the oddessey restaurant. Contact TNrobin for details.

Hi everyone! Back from a very successful shopping spree. The girls picked me up at 8:30 this morning. They had driven through Dunkin Donuts so we had munchkins for the ride. Got to Lighthouse Place about 9:30 or so. We stopped for lunch about 1:45, finally left Lighthouse Place at 4:45 and I just got home about 20 minutes ago.

We had a great time with lots of laughs and lots of shopping. Best news of the day is I got a dress for our April cruise!

[cobbler]

Mary sounds like you had a lot of fun. That is good you found a dress.

Annette/Amanda-

Isn't the weather we have been having wonderful! It is about time, that is all I am saying. Did you guys sign up for the EE 5K after the cruise?

I am glad I will be back at Disney in 8 weeks. Our first time for Flower/Garden and I am running the Minnie 15K. I have ran 14.4 miles this week and am up to 5 miles at one time. Next week my long run is 6 miles so I am feeling more confident that I will be fine with the 9 miles.

Mandy- I love the weather i'm going for a walk this afternoon. The flower/Garden is great I love to see the different flowers. Yes we signed up for EE so did Dawn and Stacy from last years cruise. We are staying at AKV so transportation will not be a problem. Where are you staying?

How is the new spaceship earth?

Amanda

[cobbler]

We haven't decided on where we are staying yet. I am hoping for YC but it will kind of depend on AP rates. Plus I am running the 1/2 in January and that is also a birthday trip so I kind of want to go all out. So depending on the budget for that trip we might be staying at a moderate.

There is only transportation to and from these host resorts. I copied this from the webpage

Disney's All Star Sports Resort - $61 a night
Disney's Coronado Springs Resort - $102 a night
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge - $155 a night

We rode the new spaceship earth when we were there two weeks ago too. What did you think? I though that the ride itself was pretty much the same except for the end. A lot of people have bashed the end, but I laughed my behind off...

[cherylp3]

I liked some parts, I'm not sure on the end my husband loved it though.

[acourtwdw2]

Hope everyone has a sunny Monday. I'm just glad we didnt get the snow storm. If you did be careful becuase as of last night 4 men had died shoveling snow.

Amanda

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone. Happy Monday!

I can't believe how much snow Ohio got and we missed it. Usually we are the ones getting hit. Definately be careful anyone who is shoveling. It can be great exercise but it can also be deadly!




PDFG and all our friends who need it!

[danandnan]

We had a busy weekend not much of a chance to jump on and say Hi. Mary we were lucky all we had was a big bag of rain which help shrink the snow banks. We have had enough of winter.
Last night we went to our Grandsons hockey playoff games. They won last night so we have another game next week. Hopefuly they win next week and they go to the finals.
Mary glad to hear you had a good time shopping and you didn't spend to much money and you found something for the Cruise.
Joan I hope Choir pratice went well and you guys had a quite weekend HA HA.
Has anyone heard from Robin concerning the Grand Gathering?
Everybody have a great day.Or as they say in the World have a Magical Day

Good Morning all,

Hope every one had a nice week end. Went way too fast here. It was hard to get up this am. I really don't like leaving the house in the morning in the dark.

Kids are home so ate way too much. I willpay for it at the gym tonight.

have a great Monday.

[OKWMEMBER]

TWO FEET OF SNOW IN MY DRIVEWAY!!!:scared1: :mad: :headache: Nice welcome home, huh? :rolleyes1 The snowblower started on the second pull, thankfully. :thumbsup2 We had a great time and I will post more about it later. I will do a full pirate update at the 2200th post.

Gail says thanks for the birthday wishes.:thanks:
We celebrated on the ship.party:

[JOANNEL]

Do you giys buy your annual passes through DVC? We have always just bought the Florida Resident from the base. I don't see where DVC's are much of a discount.

Gail- welcome home, can't wait to hear all about it.

I guess I can't complain about this cold yucky windy weather here.

[tinkerbelle77]

Good Morning, Hope everyone had a great weekend!

It was a little busy for us, Saturday was my Grandma's 75th birthday, so I took her to dinner, and just hung out at her house with her for the evening. Sunday was her surprise party, she was genuinely surprised. She thought me taking her to dinner was it! Usually theres a group of us that takes her to dinner, but everyone was so worried they'd blow the surprise, that they decided to just let me go! We had a blast, seen family and friends that we havent seen in a while. The girls were running around with their cousins, I barely seen them. They were exhausted when we left.

Then it was off to home to get ready for work and school today!

[cherylp3]

Joanne, the dvc discount only saves you when buying a new AP ( you save $5, I think) There is no dvc discount on FL res renewals.

Cheryl

I wished we lived closer and could make better use of it. But it's still worth it even if we just make 2 trips.

Is this time change killing any one but me?

[JOANNEL]

I think I could just put my head down on my desk.

Went to the beach for lunch. A little chilly for me but lots of very pale spring breakers.

[WDWLVR]

Joanne - congrats on grabbing the pirate for post #2200!

[MarkRG]

Is this time change killing any one but me?

Yesterday some, today not so much. One thing that helps us, is we actually set the clocks up Saturday afternoon and go to bed at our usual time, even if we're not feeling all that sleepy.

[JOANNEL]

Joanne - congrats on grabbing the pirate for post #2200!

Thanks didn't even notice. I guess my head did hit the desk....


I set my clock back Saturday night also. Didin't notice much yesterday. But we were busy all week end and I didn't get any naps either!!!!!!

[cobbler]

Time change is getting to me a little bit, really yesterday, not so much today. I assume tomorrow will be better.

I don't seem to remember having this much of a challenge before.

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone - happy Tuesday!

Spring might finally be starting to come to Chicagoland. We may even get into the 40's today. Who Hoo! OK it is the little things that excite me. :)

Have a great day everyone!

[JOANNEL]

Good morning all,

Woke up to a foggy and rainy morning. I fell bad for these spring breakers. We went for a walk on the beach last night. It was very nice. It should warm up by the end of the week. So maybe they will ge some beach time. These are Florida kids so they can't hang with the northern kids that are out in their swim suits in 60 degrees!!!

have a great Tuesday.

The time change is really killing me too. I wish they would abolish it.

Good morning all. Been really busy here at work since we were out of the office Firday. Gotta play catch up.

Weather is not too bad here. 37 this morning and should be near 60 this afternoon. Of course, they have snow in the forcast for later this week. Ah Tennessee, if you don't like the weather, just wait 15 minutes and it will change.

[JOANNEL]

I just want to give big congrats to all you moderators. I have been reading the threads on the Magic issues. Some of those folks are crazy. I can't imagine getting that upset over missing CC,yes it would be disappointing but do they not realize saftey is much more important than a day at the beach. Imagine if the ship hit the dock and they were stuck there----not a good example I guess:rolleyes1 , since we would all love to stay there a few days, but you get my drift. I hope there we not a lot of children around to see all that. I can't even imagine yelling at those sweet girls behind the desk and the captain!!!!Yikes.

Life is too short they need to enjoy what is going on around them.

Thanks for what you do and for closing that one thread.

[OKWMEMBER]

Holland America has an place called Half Moon Cay that is similar to Castaway Cay. We were supposed to spend the day there last Saturday. There is no pier there so passengers are tendered in on boats that are based there that are larger than the lifeboats/tenders that are on the ship. When we got there the seas were so rough you cold see the spray from the waves crashing on the beach. Around 8:30 A.M. the Captain announced that the seas were too rough to tender and that we were continuing on to Ft. Lauderdale, very slowly. Later it was announced that the $15 per person docking fee would be credited to each cabins account and that everyone would get a complimentary (free) glass of champagne at dinner time. People were disappointed but I didn't hear of anyone going ballistic over it. Mother Nature will do what she will do.

We've sailed on the Magic three times and we almost had to cancel CC on the second cruise. It was so windy it took three tries to get in the Channel and dock. I talked to a Bridge Staff later that day that said if we hadn't docked on the third try it would have been canceled.

[JOANNEL]

I guess we have been very lucky. In four cruises we made it in every time.

[MarkRG]

Yeah a number of threads on the main forum have been a wee bit crazy, and it becomes a difficult thing sometimes making sure the rumours don't get out of hand. But not all that bad, some of the way out there theories that end up getting tossed around are as you said just plain nuts, and pretty obvious they are just theories. Does leave me wondering if some of the more extreme ones appear from someone looking to make an argument, which is sad to get people so upset over literally in those cases nothing. But in the end, all is good, yes the Magic has a bad luck cruise, 1 engine down for a while, lousy conditions at CC, but can't imagine the entire trip was ruined by these things, wouldn't have been for me. And am still looking forward to boarding her in about 6 1/2 weeks now :)

Mark,
I was reading those threads and think you handle it very well. If we are unable to dock at CC it wouldn't ruin my trip. You cannot control everything esp the weather. That has happened to us on other lines (we were routed to Nassau instead of the private island on NCL). Peolpe just need to relax and appreicate the fact that they are on vacation. I know people that would do just about anything for what we do every year.

I am going to try to make Tie Dye cheesecake (it's available at POP). Wish me luck.

What threads do I find the issuses the Magic had?
danandnan

It's a big sloppy mess, so I'll just sum up.

First of all the weather conditions down in the caribbean have not been exactly favorable lately. Very high winds.

The Magic, on the way to St. Maarten had a failure of one of her 5 diesel engines which provide power for everything aboard including propulsion. This, combined with sailing into heavy headwinds made them late getting in. While in port the engine was repaired and they continued on. Upon arrival at Castaway Cay the winds were too severe to allow a safe docking. They made 4 attempts but just couldn't do it with the wind pushing the ship out of the rather narrow slot they have to pull in there. A small but very agitated group of people went and read the riot act at guest services and from my understanding it did get a little ugly.

Now, the engine has been repaired, and the Magic is already about halfway thru her next sailing.

[Beastly]

Well I am a tad bit excited. I received the 2007 DVC Member Cruise beautiful dish with Walt and Mickey etched into it.

I don't know where put it but we have it :)

How is everyone doing today? Looks like another nice day here in Chicagoland. Spring might finally be here! :flower3:

[JOANNEL]

Good morning all,

Send Spring this way. It is still chilly here for March. The kids are going to try to go to the beach since today is going to be the best day all week. My house looks like a dorm room. But I love having them home. It's hard to believe but this semester will be over in 6 weeks!!


Annette how was the cheese cake? You will have to share the recipe if it comes out good.

I was bad last night- got into the girl scout cookies.

Have a great Wednesday all.

[cobbler]

I have been loving the weather for the last few days, however I have to tell myself that this is MI and it is not uncommon to get snow in April so I am remaining optimisitic but also trying to keep reality in check.

They are predicting a storm next week but it is unclear yet if it will be snow or rain.

[acourtwdw]

I will leave the cheesecake making to the experts at WDW. While it was alright, it wasn't perfect. The receipe is on the resturant thread if anyone wants to attempt it.

Weather here today is supposed to be really nice. 45 and partly sunny! But like Mandy said, it's MI and changes quickly.

Have a great day everyone :)

[danandnan]

Only got on once yesterday and Mark thanks for the update on the Magic.
I think those people went a little overboard HA HA.
Some people just don't know how to go with the flow. Just go to the Pool and have a drink and cool off.
Nanc a I are getting ready to head out for a long weeked and meet our friend we vacation with in the summer at York Beach. There wil be abou 14 of us and we are all staying at the Hampton INN in South Portland. We have been doing this for the past 10 years or more. Its a nice place to stay they have a pool ,hot tub,and the Maine Mall is across the street.
Joan you have to stay out of the cookies. those walks on the beach won't do any good HA HA.
well gang got to go finish packing. Catch everybody later.

Dan, have a nice week end- oh to be retired!!!!!

It is so nice here right now. It was hard to come back from lunch. The spring breakers are on the beach!!!!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Just wanted to pop in and say hi! Been a few days, I've been reading, but not posting! Great weather here in the Chicago area! Hopefully its here to stay

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone - happy Thursday!

Yes it has been beautiful the past couple of days here in Chicagoland! Going up to 50 today. With the long cold winter we've had these temps feels wonderful.

Dan your weekend sounds like fun. Hope you and Nancy have a great time.

Have a great day everyone!

[TnRobin]

Good morning all. We after getting all that snow on Sat, we will be in the 70s today. Gotta love it.

Spent yesterday in a software class, came home a fell immediately asleep. The time change is catching up with me.

Today, I am off to Matt's school. They are having a "wax museum." The students did a bio on a influencial person and now they have to dress up like that person and pretend to be that person. He has a tri-fold board with pictures and quotes and a prop. He did Walt Disney. He is using my Don Williams drawing I got on the member cruise a few years ago.

[JOANNEL]

Good morning all,

It's another beautiful day here also. The kids went to Panama City Beach yesterday. Said it was packed. There is a Margaritaville there now! They tried to get down to Spinakers- where M-TV hangs out but they sat in traffice for an hour and gave up. It was aslo a little chilly for these Florida kida to lay out so they just walked and played on the beach.

Robin- nice to know you are raising another Disney lover.

My youngest is going down next week end with his girlfriends family. They take him a long so they don't need a map!!!!! I am jealous but the Easter crowds are never fun.

have a great Thursday. I for got to tell every one we are going to see Elton John. I heard he puts on a great show.

Question for all you Disney veterans. In the past we really have not made dinner plans except for Japan and just ate anywhere. Do you guys have any favorites and do you make reservations?

[tinkerbelle77]

Question for all you Disney veterans. In the past we really have not made dinner plans except for Japan and just ate anywhere. Do you guys have any favorites and do you make reservations?

Reservations are a must with the dining plan, it used to be easy to get into dinner last minute before the dining plan! But now you really do need them! A fav of ours is Le Cellier in Canada...The pretzel bread and cheddar cheese soup is a fav of ours!

[cherylp3]

It really depends. Sometimes you do not need a reservation.

[cherylp3]

That being said my favorites are:
Outside the park: 1900 Park fare, Boma, Jiko, Turf Club
Inside the park:
MK: Liberty tree
Epcot: Tutto Italia, Tokyo Dining, Chefs de France, Le Cellier, Coral reef
MGM: No real favorites
AK: Tusker house

[WDWLVR]

Question for all you Disney veterans. In the past we really have not made dinner plans except for Japan and just ate anywhere. Do you guys have any favorites and do you make reservations?

If you want to eat in the parks you are best making reservations. Our favorites in the parks are Tony's and Liberty Tree in Magic Kingdom and LeCellier in Epcot. We just tried Chefs de France in Epcot on our last trip and enjoyed it.

You can have a lot more luck without a reservation at the resorts. Our favorites there are Kona Cafe in the Poly (a true favorite for lunch), Yachtsman Steakhouse, Cape May Cafe, and Spoodles (for breakfast).

We've also had some luck calling Disney Dining from the room and asking if they have any openings for that evening. Also very rarely we've been able to do a walk up right before they open for dinner (so usually around 4 pm) and get in.

Bottom line if you have your heart set on a certain location call and make the reservation.

[tikimimi]

I for got to tell every one we are going to see Elton John. I heard he puts on a great show.

Enjoy Sir Elton - he DOES put on an excellent show! The man is a genius at the keyboard. Do enjoy!

Good morning everyone! TGIF!

Looking to be another beautiful day here in Chicagoland. It was so nice out yesterday that I went out at lunch without a coat (I did have a suit jacket on). Nice!!!!!!

Hope everyone has a great day!

[acourtwdw2]

It looks like a beautiful day here also. Keep sending it this way. I went by a lake yesterday and the edges had water on it. I was so excited i cant wait to get the boat out.

Everyone have a great Friday.

Amanda

[TnRobin]

Even though it is raining, I would still classify this as a beautiful day. We need the rain. The good thing is it is still suppose to be warm all day.

[JOANNEL]

It is a yucky rainy day here too. But the week end should be nice.

I got a phone call from Chase last night on some suspicious charges on my Disnay card. They were right someone has been internet shopping with my cc #. It was very weird since we just got the new ones last week in the mail. So they closed that account, had us cut up our cards and will send us new ones. So look at your statemnts carefully- they wouldn't tell me if it was happening to any one else. They were very nice one I got one I could understand!!!!


Have a great Friday.:banana:

Joanne - so sorry to hear that. Good thing they caught it and called you. We just got our new cards last week as well. Just checked and all those charges are ours. :) Seems someone went shopping last weekend. :lmao:

Hi all.

They have reschuduled for April 25th. Which is Graduation at FSU!! Scott says he is not walking because it's too long & boring. 6000 kids so I can understand that but we still have to go and collect him and all his stuff. We are still renting a cap & gown so we can take pictures. He is graduating with an accounting degree and already has a job lined up at a local CPA firm. he has done very well for himself. We are very proud of him.

We are going to see Horton see's a who instead and take the boys to dinner. So we will still have a good night.

Good Saturday Morning! Here in metro-Atlanta we are picking up pieces and thanking God for no more injuries and damage than we have. Last night's storms were very bad for our city. There were several large events going on with people of all ages when the tornado went through the downtown area. My husband (Tikimack) works down there, and I am thankful he was home before it started - he was slated to work quite late last night. Our son is a student at Georgia Tech, and it was not in his area. We are supposed to have more storms on the way today. We had hail and high winds early this morning (around 5) and the city was still trying to figure out all the damage when that one came through - it could be a rough day.

[WDWLVR]

Mimi - saw the storms on the news this morning. Very nasty!
