Bit of info for those of you doing WDW in conjunction with the cruise.

Beaches & Cream will now start service breakfast. It will be a counter service for those of you on the dining plan.



PEG TAKE NOTE!

.

Duly noted...

Peg, does that mean to write it on the new dry erase board?

Woody

Nope, this note goes in the ORANGE WDW/CRUISE folder that I got just like Jackie's DIS green one! I've got a whole "packet" on restaurants and menu's Jackie printed out for us.

Very good that it will be a counter service.

Peg - are you on the dining plan or want the dining plan? If so, you must share your desires with me.

Also the Boardwalk Bakery is very nice for a bit in the morning. Poor Spoodles .. gone ... no more breakfast.

Ian I would love to share my desires with you --- No Dining plan this trip - I found it to be too much food and not a good value for the type of eater I've turned into... which is all good. I will have to spend more time going over menu's this weekend so I can share what my big "hits" will be. I don't know WDW any where near as good as you folks - so it will be hard. But can I say I love the name ... Beaches and Cream? I like a little fruit for breakfast to get me going - but there is always a morning on the ship we do eggs benedict. One cruise I think we did that 3 times... Luminere's has really good eggs benedict!

I LOVE MY SISTER!

I've been invited to join Peg, Jose and the puppy dogs on a weekend getaway to 'beat the heat'! They've rented a 'cabin' in Prescott and we'll get to play with Cheri a bit over the weekent too!

It's supposed to hit 116 here this weekend......

Look at this darling place (hardly a 'cabin').

It's a craftsman cottage - the other "cabin" was up in the mountains and slept 6-8 - so a bit too large for this adventure... this one will be perfect with the front porch and fenced in yard for the girls! Faith is just about ready to burst - she's so sick of the heat and not being able to go for long walks at her favorite park - we pulled out their "luggage" last night and you should have SEEN the look on her face... she is truly the smartest dog I have ever known. She wouldn't settle down last night - (note to self: don't pull out her overnight bag until we are ready to pack and GO!)

Could be!!!

There is ONLY one CHERI! (At least in my book!)

Hopefully not the Denny's Grand Slam.

hello friends, its been a long time, I find this thread a bit overwhelming

Anyway, finally feeling like the vacation will be here before I know it! 10 weeks away

The reason I am posting is this: I was wondering if anyone out there needs a snorkeling buddy?

I am pretty sure that we will be taking the ferry and a cab to cinnamon bay on St John (from St Thomas). I can't get my DH in the water and would prefer to have a buddy out there on the water with me. Sounds like the best snorkeling is around the little island off shore and I would feel better not being alone.

If anyone might be interested, them PM me. I am a just ok swimmer but LOVE to snorkel and hope to have a repeat performance of the amazing scenery I experienced at the Baths on Virgin Gorda. I actually think we will do the Baths again since they were so amazing but I snorkelled those on my own before (as a first timer) and felt completely safe and comfortable.

Let me know if anyone is interested. My DH will be on the beach reading and guarding the stuff.

Hi Susie, I love snorkeling too and I wish I could join you. DH John prefers pools because there's no sand. We're going to the Emerald Beach hotel on St. Thomas. They have a pool right on the beach so we'll both be happy.

I have been to St. John before and you're going to love it. I'm sure you'll find someone to share the snorkel with....even if you catch up with them on the excursion.

I'll try and take some, God knows I'm taking my new camera and need more practise!

This will be a big hit for the man in my life who thinks Ice Cream is it's OWN FOOD GROUP!

No...he must have the "No Way, Jose"

Though I'm sure he'll be having a BANANA split....that man LOVES bananas! Can't wait till he has is first BBC on the ship.

It's not it's own food group????

Is "No Way, Jose" a real choice there? If so, what does it include?

Sure wish ice cream was a low calorie food group. Calories seem to be a measure of FLAVOR. The more there are, the better it tastes.

I guess we will be needing a new home very very shortly.

Not to worry. I have it covered, but I don't want to post the link so soon that we have two threads going at once. I figure I will post it once we get to page 250 and invite everyone to quote it until we get closed off so that it is in the last post for sure.

 

[granmaz]

You're a star!!

You are a SNEAK and a HALF Marilyn!!

"Your assignment, if you choose to accept it," is to make sure the link is on page 250 if people get chatty and I am not on line.

 

[JLSE50]

Peggy--Your photo with your brother is a dead link now. Check page 1 post 2. Can you fix it?

YEAHHHHHH!!! Thank you. I love seeing them all.

OMG....he's going to cruise DCL again just for the BBCs.

.....I'm confused as usual....as I'm reading this and I'm thinking....What's wrong with Marilyn, we just started a new thread.

....I forgot that I'm on the Tortola thread now....and I only post on two threads.
