My vote is with majority for color of lanyards. I missed the name that was voted on (lots of pages to read to catch up) I would love to be wait listed for the champagne girls. Count 2 of us for Palo. I am definitely in on anything that involves chocolate. will need 3 spaces for the bus, but not sure yet on hotel. Lastly, I am so happy to be going on this cruise with so many Disney lovers like me from all over the world.

I think we too will wander in and out of this thread between now and the cruise Andrea! so glad you'll be aboard
Looking forward to catching up.

I'm sure we can arrange an ad hoc Champagne Girls meet up for those that that want to, and enjoy more bubbly together with old and new friends

Mandy, be happy to drink champagne with you anytime, anywhere!

Welcome..nice to see other DVC owners too..We are OKW owners..yep original owners and empty nesters too..

But if you do a San Juan hotel and bus , count us in..we are planning on staying 1 night to see some of san Juan..

We own at OKW too, since 1995. In fact we're doing this cruise on points.

We were recently in San Juan for the day on the Fantasy. Had a great time; definitely worth staying to see a bit of the city.

Andrea ... send Mary a PM and get on the waitlist for Champagne Girls ... there are bound to be lots of changes before we finally get to this cruise and if there is enough interest they may be able to do a second date.

Thanks; i'll definitely get on a wait list.

I'm going to be takin suggestions for lanyard colors until Sat. March 16. At that point I will take all suggestions and we will have another poll like we did with the Cruise Name! So keep your suggestions coming if you have any!

We like the lime green idea. Easy to spot under the pile of stuff in our stateroom...

DIS Group Drink Tastings!

Rules:
1) Will need to know the first/last name of each person participating, along with your cabin number. Remember, you MUST be 21 or over, and DCL will check this against your registration info. You must PM this to the person organizing the tasting you want to attend (see list below).

2) The cost of the Tasting Class will be charged to your cabin by DCL. There will be no refunds once we have submitted the final list, this won't happen until about 2 weeks before the cruise (we will know the time and date before the final list is submitted.) The cost is approx $20 per person (TBC nearer the time) and will be charged to your room whether or not you attend once the final lists have submitted.

3) There will be a MAXIMUM of 49 people per tasting. If we go over this number we will be able to schedule separate tasting classes. With exception to the Champagne Girls - only one booking can be made so a maximum of 49!!

Some background information regarding the Champagne Girls from Ukangel.....

Way back before the first PC Repo cruise, a great friend, EllaEnchanted, and I (Ukangel) were 'chatting' online and one afternoon came up with how great it would be to get a few like minded ladies together onboard and drink bubbly....we added tiaras and pink, and later feather boas.......and called ourselves Champagne Girls.

Chocolate Tasting


I will be organising a private DIS Chocolate Tasting group, it is a newish thing so and after a little research it appears that you get a selection of white, milk and dark chocolate (dark 62%, darker 72% and darkest 85%!) and a shot glass of melted white, milk and dark chocolate. You taste the different chocolates with a variety of wines as well as a glass of whisky. I believe it is $30 per person.

If you would like to sign up then please PM me (pinky166) with the full name (first & surname) and cabin number of all wishing to take part. I am pretty sure that it will be a maximum of 49 people so it will be on a first come, first served basis. If we exceed 49 then I will start a waitlist/possible second group.

Since we had such a good time on the 2010 WBTA, we decided to do it again and excited about a new itinerary!

Please add us to the roll call. We're Andrea & Greg from Northern Virginia. Empty nesters; DVC since 1995; this will be our 9th DCL cruise (after we complete the WBPC in May) including all four ships.

to all from the 2010 WBTA folks! Looking forward to sailing with everyone again.

HI !!!! So glad you are joining us !! Again ! Cant wait to catch up with all the news with you 2 . ! Welcome to the cruise!!!

 

[karentan]

welcome to all the newbies glad to have even more people onboard!

 

[emmah16]

holy moly, been looking at flight prices - was hoping to stay in puerto rico til sunday or maybe the monday so we can explore, the flight prices for the saturday are very reasonable, but if we fly back sunday or monday the prices double
might have to just get off the ship first thing in the morning, spend half a day in PR then head to the airport
but on the flip side we can fly out to barcelona from southend airport, which is about 4 miles from my house, so nice and convenient on the way out

Hi Karen,

Which airlines have you been looking at? I have been checking out Jet Blue, they seem quite cheep. We might have to change carriers a couple of times but if it keeps cost down I am for it.

 

[emmah16]

We stayed at the Avendia Palace for 2 nights before the WBTA. It was less than a five minute walk to the Pratik where we met the bus for the port. If I remember correctly, one block down and one block over from the Pratik. It is a very pretty hotel and the service was great. Just a thought....

We have stayed in this hotel too. It is really nice and as mentioned the service is great. They also have family rooms which is a bonus and are really nice. The location is good as its not to far from Las Ramblas and The Hard Rock Cafe.

 

[Pinky166]

Hi Everyone! My name is Kathy and I'm going to be cruising with you all. My cabin mate is LovingtheMouse. I am also friends with Lisa and her mother Eileen. Looking forward to reading all about the cruise. Kathy

Welcome Kathy, i have added you to the roll call.

Dani, what event are you trying to sign up to? You need to send a PM to the organiser of the event, if you just post on the thread it may get missed.

 

[NWDAD]

Good morning everyone,

At least it is 5:30 AM here in Washington state. Skye is under the weather this weekend. She says that the weekly update is coming it is just going to be a little bit. Mean while here I am at work on OT. Can't wait for next September.

Kevin

 

[Dgentrysim]

Bless Claire's little fingers......she has updated the rum cocktail tasting and then added on our newest little "FAB" tasting to the list - Mixology! We are ALL going to have to owe her a FAB or two for all her hard work in keeping up and posting all these events! Great work Claire!!!

For those who have signed up for either the rum cocktail tasting or the mixology event, would you please look over the lists and let me know if I've gotten your correct information? If not, please pm me with the corrections. I would appreciate it! Thanks for the wonderful interest everyone has shown signing up for all these events......looks like a bunch of people who know how to have fun to me!!!

 

[karentan]

Hi Karen,

Which airlines have you been looking at? I have been checking out Jet Blue, they seem quite cheep. We might have to change carriers a couple of times but if it keeps cost down I am for it.

Haven't really had a proper look, had a quick look on cheapoair.com and can fly back on similar dates this year for about $550 on the saturday we dock. Of we fly back Sunday or Monday the price doubles. Hoping I can get that price down a bit as I really want to be able to spend a bit of time in PR

 

[karentan]

Thanks for the wonderful interest everyone has shown signing up for all these events......looks like a bunch of people who know how to have fun to me!!!

If 2011s WBTA is anything to go by there will be an unofficial dis meet every night in the pubs

 

[Dgentrysim]

If 2011s WBTA is anything to go by there will be an unofficial dis meet every night in the pubs

If the response that I've seen so far is any indication......you are so right Karen! That's a good thing in my opinion.....let loose and party like you were 21 again (Now....I'm just speaking from a 55 year old woman who barely-y-y-y-y remembers 21! Just saying......)

 

[karentan]

Well quite a few nights last time Gary was tired in the evening, so I left him in the room and I went to the clubs, there was always a friendly face in there

 

[vakamalua]

HI !!!! So glad you are joining us !! Again ! Cant wait to catch up with all the news with you 2 . ! Welcome to the cruise!!!

Thanks, Annie. This cruise will be quite a reunion! Hope you both are well; looking forward to sailing with you again.

Were you on one of the DCL NYC-Canada cruises last year? Thought I saw you on one of the meet threads. We were on the last one and loved it.

 

[UKANGEL]

Hi all, it's Mothers Day here in the UK so I'm spending some time with my lovely girlie here at home. Apparently she's making me a special afternoon tea later, with all the trimmings. it's even more special as she's not been too well.

Wishing all you other mums out there a peaceful day, with your human or fur babies!
