    Swimming with the Dolphins

    We did the Dolphin Encounter in Nassau at the beginning of March, and had a great time. I'm not sure how much time we had, but we sure didn't feel like we missed out on anything. Agree with the above poster about bringing a waterproof camera - the only photo the staff took was a family shot -...

    Best Room At Por

    We stayed in AB building 28. It was very nice, and quiet. We hardly saw or heard anyone else while we were there (end of February) It is a little further from the food court than some of the other buildings, but it is a nice walk.

    Haven't been in TEN years...many questions!

    If your kids like the thrill rides they should check out Expedition Everest in AK, and Rockin' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror in MGM.

    First Timers Need to Know...

    If you are doing the penny press, keep a supply of quarters and pennies in a mini M&M tube (or prescription pill bottle). That way you have the change and penny all together and can get at it easily.

    Splash Mountain--2006

    We rode it on February 26, 2006 (3 weeks ago) and were stuck on it for 25 minutes ugh! A CM came out several times to reassure us that the ride would be starting "soon". We did get a free fast pass to use on any ride in MK at any time for our trouble. We went on it again about 2 days later...

    PO Riverside - Still Our Favourite 'Moderate'

    We were at POR about the same time as tigger137. We were there February 26-March 2. It is a gorgeous resort! We had never stayed there before, and thought the place was wonderful. We are a family of 3, and we did get a room in AB. We didn't request anything - it just worked out that way. I...

    3 night cruise

    We just did the 3 night cruise at the beginning of March. This was our first Disney cruise. If I were to do it again, I would go for longer. I'd suggest the 4 day cruise if you can't swing 7 days. 3 days is just too short - you barely get used to the ship - where to find things, all the...

    Does anyone have a good idea for a simple pirate costume?

    DH wore an oversize white shirt (borrowed from his much larger brother), black pants which he rolled up to the knee and sandals. He made a sword from a dowel, cardboard, and duct tape. We bought a pirate kit from the dollar store which included an earring, dagger, and eye patch. We also got a...

    Pirate Night

    We just got off the 3 day Wonder on Sunday. Not many people dressed up, but we did it. It was fun! It can be quite simple and inexpensive. DH wore an oversize white shirt (from his much larger brother). We bought some "pirate kits" from the dollar store with eye patches, hoop earrings...

    nassau and castaway excursions?

    We did the Dolphin Encounter at Nassau - just last week (sigh...) We had a great time. Our DD is 10, and really into dolphins, so it was perfect for us. it starts with a 40 minute boat ride to the dolphin area. There is an introduction to dolphins, then about 45 minutes in the water with the...

    Pirate Night--What's this about?

    We did the 3 night cruise recently (just returned on Sunday),and participated in the pirate night there. It was great. Not many people dressed up, but we did, and got a lot of comments about our costumes - they were so simple to do. DH wore an oversize dress white shirt, and rolled up the...

    Anyone Have "Favorite Servers" on the Wonder ???

    We just finished our cruise on Sunday March 5. We had Dhana (India) and Joe (Brazil). Dhana was a real sweetheart. She's been with DCL for 4 years. She was great with our dd

    Why do a door sign?

    I agree with all the other posters - they really help you and your kids find your door. They all look alike! Our sign was very simple - we got the Disney paint chips from Home Depot in lots of different colours, cut them out so we had the Mickey head shape, and stuck them on the door in the...

    Omers and Cupe Strike - Are you going to go out illegally?

    My understanding of this is that it is an illegal strike, since most CUPE locals have collective agreements in place. Sid Ryan is calling on everyone to walkout when the Bill goes for 3rd (?) reading. The local that covers employees where I work is talking to management on how to handle the...
