Theres something about Disney that brings nice people together, I love it!



Im trying too but have not been very good



She just better not get me sick, I have a vacation to go on!



She knows I booked Palo, but she has no idea I booked Remy. That will be on Mothers Day, Im very excited about that and we'll get the Rainforest Room passes for the whole cruise, she loves the Rainforest Room.

The parks are gradually getting rid of the paper FPs, Im not sure what phase they'll be at when we're there. I just realized I'll need a new park ticket, I conveniently forgot that




It works better for me. I dont like rushing back to the ship, especially on CC day to get to dinner. Its more relaxed in my opinion.

Just a heads up. Remy will leave invitations in Fish Extender before your reservation so make sure you find it before your Mom does so you don't ruin your surprise.

I hear you there, I've been eating non stop since thanksgiving. Need to turn the tide!

I ate until NEw Years then did great before Mexico, mellowed about a week after Mexico, ate like mad this weekend, and am trying to chill. We've got a road trip to Vegas this weekend. Road trips are SO difficult for me. Sitting and chatting just lend themselves to eating.​

Disney does not limit bags at all, you just might have to ask for more tags at drop off but we've never had an issue. On the dream cruise we had more bags that that due to leftover groceries from Vero and very inefficient packing as we'd hit the store after we'd loaded up so the drinks etc, were seperate. You can get room service coffee and they will bring creamer. Or walk up to the self serve stand and it's there as well. Or pop into the cafe.

Do they have flavored creamer, vanilla specifically? Good to know about the lack of bag limits. Thank you!​

It is easy, it's just a lot of stirring and you have to pay attention. I make a basic parmesan one (or asiago or whatever I have around lol) but will toss in whatever I have if I feel like it, mushrooms, asparagus, etc.

Yes, he stirs a lot while making his risotto. Sounds delicious. I can't recall the CraftSteak flavored one but I was not a fan.​

You can walk the deck in flip flops . 3x a round = 1 mile. Jeff and I like to start our day that way

Nice! If I could manage 2 miles a day, I'd be elated.​

Exactly. Linen bermuda's and heels can be very dressy.

I agree and they look so nice with a pair of wedges.​

I stand by my statement. You'd be amazed at what I can hide. I hit 200 lbs both times with the E's. I bet I could have worn that all the way to 6m!

​

no, the brand is Le Mystere. I like theirs the best both in support and plunge, some of the others are pretty high cut which doesn't work well on some dresses. Plus it has less spandex than most and so for me, with my allergy, that's a good thing since in the summer I wear a strapless bra most days!

I was thinking that it was a great name. Do you know specific stores that sell them? I'm getting close and don't want to pay for shipping. I do have Amazon Prime though.​

LOVE having a scarf or 2 along.

I think the evenings on the ship will be chilly. How can they not be on a moving ship? ​

I am dealing with my own guilt for going on a Disney cruise without ANY of my kids. Lol. However they went on the last one and if am sure will go on the next one. We also have a Palo brunch booked and our Cabana for Serenity Bay. For everything else we are just planning to go with the flow. I can't wait!

My flow will depend on DS. I hate being at the mercy of my kids. See you're kids have been, mine have never been on a cruise of any kind. I'm trying to get over any guilt. It subsided for about two days when Chloe, my middle, was going to go to CO with her buddy for two days. The trip got cancelled as her friend's mother's location ended early. Gabby has to work so I don't feel bad about that. She's excited.

Your cabana will be amazing. Can't wait to see pics.​

I am sure that if I taste everything I will be tipsy. You guys may have to escort me back to my stateroom. Lol. I generally make it a rule to only have one drink so that I don't get lightheaded. I am such a lightweight when it comes to alcohol. I think we are going to have a great time though. My hubby is a little jealous. Lol.

I'll try everything but may not finish it. 5-6 drinks would put me under the table. ​

for having one of the SPH cabins! That is a total score!!!

Jill in CO

I'm kind of freaking out. I had NO idea. I'm not going to tell Joshua. I think he'll be super excited though he was looking forward to the true Navigator's Verandah.​

Major score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, right?!?! Like total pixiedust. I need to YouTube those few cabins to wrap my head around it. I've watched everything on the straight NV cabins.​

Theres something about Disney that brings nice people together, I love it!

I agree and it's the best. ​

Im trying too but have not been very good

Likewise. I'm already in vacation mode. ​

She just better not get me sick, I have a vacation to go on!

True. Start pooping the Vit C now girl. Have fun with mom today.​

She knows I booked Palo, but she has no idea I booked Remy. That will be on Mothers Day, Im very excited about that and we'll get the Rainforest Room passes for the whole cruise, she loves the Rainforest Room.

Awesome! Is Remy amazing? Better than Palo? It looks much newer and I think it's only on the newer ships correct?

Can't wait to try the Rainforest Room. ​

The parks are gradually getting rid of the paper FPs, Im not sure what phase they'll be at when we're there. I just realized I'll need a new park ticket, I conveniently forgot that

Glad you remembered. Can you get paper FP in addition to FP+? I'm confused by the system.​

It works better for me. I dont like rushing back to the ship, especially on CC day to get to dinner. Its more relaxed in my opinion.

I totally agree. Both days we'd have to rush back to make early dinner. That sounds so not appealing to me. I want to come back from Nachi at a reasonable time to do a little shopping in town as our beach doesn't allow vendors. I love the vendors.​

I rarely drink so it will be a fun/interesting tasting

Its going to be a blast. We'll sip slowly. And make sure to have some food in your stomach.​

 

[rentayenta]

How cool is that!

Its totally awesome! excuse my inner valley girl vernacular.


Joshua said his vacation starts the minute we get to the airport. A kid after my own heart.


Great tip Jill on Remy. The invite would have ruined the surprise.​

What is a secret verandah cabin?

What is a secret verandah cabin?

I can't post the link here for some reason but posted it to your FB. Check it out then come back here to chat. ​

 

[eandesmom]

Yeah, Thanksgiving, Our anniversary, Christmas, the big trip, then my bday, valentines, Jeff's bday...

BLOAT!



I blame the calcium deposit on all that cheese.

Do they have flavored creamer, vanilla specifically? Good to know about the lack of bag limits. Thank you!​

No, it's just plain creamer. Or milk. If you want flavored I would bring it.

Yes, he stirs a lot while making his risotto. Sounds delicious. I can't recall the CraftSteak flavored one but I was not a fan.​

I am rarely thrilled with it when out so don't generally order it. I find the Alessi mushroom one in the packet to be decent if I want that! The sodium on the packaged ones is insane. It is easy but...you really can't leave the stove for about 20 minutes, that's the only reason I don't make it more as I don't stay in one spot for very long and I can get a little bored or annoyed. I mean you can turn away for a minute, but not much really.

Nice! If I could manage 2 miles a day, I'd be elated.​

No problem!

I was thinking that it was a great name. Do you know specific stores that sell them? I'm getting close and don't want to pay for shipping. I do have Amazon Prime though.​

Sent you some links. Scuptural is the one I have, there are a few versions. I didn't check amazon. I actually tend to get them on Rue La La when they are offered and just stock up, one a year.

 

[franandaj]

OK. That's cool. I don't think I would like a room without a verandah. Especially after being spoiled with the H/A large verandahs. I love standing out there upon sail away with my glass of wine. I don't need the party on deck 10. Besides Fran is usually taking a nap then anyways.

I know! I'm pretty stoked. I was really looking forward to the enclosed verandah but now I've successfully switched gears. I think Joshua will be stoked too. I'm glad this isn't something I tried to plan. It would have stressed me out.

I've read that we can go above the party and still be involved. Joshua won't want to hang out with a bunch of dancing little kids for sure. ​

Weird, I saw the link in the notification email but its all starred out...Looks like it isn't allowed on the Dis.

I have no clue why. I posted the link to Alison's FB wall. It's pretty groovy. I'm now looking for photos to share here.....​

No, he won't. The deck above is fine. You can have the streamers to wave around, Eric liked that a lot the first time (second time I think they all took off for mini golf lol) and you can be holding your drink of the day and all will be well with the world.

 

[MEK]

I'll be back to respond but wanted to share some info Beth shared with me this morning....apparently I booked one of the secret verandah cabins. I had no clue! Total score.

Darn, trying to post the link but its not working.

And 18 days ladies!!!


​

I knew you were zeroing in on the big day but couldn't remember how close you actually were. Woo Hoo! 18 days is Nothing, nada, zilch. It will be here before you know it!

And congrats on scoring the super secret awesome verandah!

 

[Pinkocto]

Just a heads up. Remy will leave invitations in Fish Extender before your reservation so make sure you find it before your Mom does so you don't ruin your surprise.

Jill in CO

Thanks so much I will definitely have to remember that.

 

[Pinkocto]

Likewise. I'm already in vacation mode. ​

I like your way of thinking!

True. Start pooping the Vit C now girl. Have fun with mom today.​

Thank you! She won't get in until 9 pm, so will have to celebrate another day. But it will still be nice to see her. I will NOT get sick

Awesome! Is Remy amazing? Better than Palo? It looks much newer and I think it's only on the newer ships correct?​

Yes, it's only on the Dream and Fantasy. From what I understand it's a Victoria and Alberts kind of experience. Lots of small courses. I've heard only amazing things. I wouldn't say better than Palo, just different, and $75 instead of $25.

Can't wait to try the Rainforest Room.

I was just thinking about it today, I can't wait to relax in the saunas

Glad you remembered. Can you get paper FP in addition to FP+? I'm confused by the system.​

I honestly don't know if you can get both, you used to be able to but I'm not sure if they've stopped people from doing that.

I totally agree. Both days we'd have to rush back to make early dinner. That sounds so not appealing to me. I want to come back from Nachi at a reasonable time to do a little shopping in town as our beach doesn't allow vendors. I love the vendors.​

Cozumel has some fabulous jewelry from those little vendors.

Its going to be a blast. We'll sip slowly. And make sure to have some food in your stomach.​

It's going to be fun, I'm just laughing at the thought

Its totally awesome! excuse my inner valley girl vernacular. ​

I say that kind of thing all the time, I think it's from growing up with the Ninja Turtles

Joshua said his vacation starts the minute we get to the airport. A kid after my own heart.

That's how I feel too!​

 

[rentayenta]

I'll be back to reply but wanted show my pirates night dress. The kids cannot stop laughing. My hair is a wreck but that's what 8 hours at work and a two our board meeting after will do to you.

Honest opinions please. I had to add the tank top because it was cleavage city.
