    Scuba at Castaway Cay

    I had gone on the scuba excursion in late February. We were told that this had had just been started within the past two weeks. The divemasters were Tim (I'm pretty sure that was his name, and I'll refer to his as such) and a female who were from nearby Abaco. Tim has been diving since he...

    APL Rotation-- Late Dining

    We thought we would be doing well with a late dinner rotation due to the time change and the fact that our lifestyle typically dictates a late dinner rotation. "Middle" kids will probably do well, but my seven year old nephew went into a carbohydrate coma minutes after the nightly ritual of...

    Can I bring my iron on-board with me?

    I had a dress shirt that terribly wrinkled. The Disney staff pressed it for a reasonably charge. There is an extra cost for something that has to be pressed in a short period of time. There is a list of the charges for washing and ironing various types of apparel. It might not be a bad...

    Do you suppose that the girls were late because someone slipped them "a Mickey"?

    Bush to sail on Disney

    Former President Carter and his family took a Disney cruise after Christmas last year and President Bush and his family are taking a Disney cruise after Christmas this year. I think I see a pattern...

    disneysurvey.com BWV survey debacle

    That's interesting. Last summer, I took an internet survey after staying at BWV and had pretty significant problems; I never completed the questionnaire. A few weeks later I received another postcard indicating the problems that were present with the web site with a request that I take the...

    Magic's Aft Smoke Stack

    Fire? Yikes! This was the first I have heard about a fire. What happened? Am going on a cruise in 2/03; seven in all, none of us have sailed before. We will be taking a three day cruise to check it out. My sister-in-law is already highly anxious. :confused:

    Whining....

    It still gets worse...... 1. Your bedrooms are now divided into categories depending on their size and view. You yearn for a verandah.... 2. Meal time becomes divided into early and late seatings. 3. You start to cry during dinner when DH says, "well tonight isn't exactly Palos"...

    Pregnancy question

    Congratulations. My best advice--discuss this with your wife's obstetrician. It seems to me that there are several questions to be asked: 1. How is your wife's health? Certainly if she has a number of medical problems such as diabetes then you would have to ask yourself if this...

    Would appreciate the advice...

    Am thinking about using DVC points for a 3 day cruise next year. I was wondering if it is possible to use DVC points and to obtain an upgrade to a Category 1, 2 or 3 stateroom. Has anyone heard if this has been done, and if so, what this would entail. I would be willing to use either...

    Tips on bringing family to DVC???

    I did this a couple of years ago, when against my better judgement, had my parents down to WDW. I don't regret the decision one bit--with older parents you never know if this will be their last "big" vacation. For this reason, I would suggest that you look foward to enjoying this as if it...

    Groceries at BCV?

    Had spoken to a cast member one week ago about this topic. She showed me where the gift shop at the Beach Club had been enlarged so that some frozen foods could be stocked similar to Boardwalk. Other snack foods were available as well. For serious grocery shopping, you will need to go off...

    BCV Preview

    Just got back from Fla, but missed the "Open Mouse" I had spoke to some cast members three days earlier who had urged me to stop by Mon AM. When I returned that day, I walked aimlessly around until a security guard asked me if I needed assistance. Come to find out, the open mouse had been...

    Disney's Aida

    I saw Aida and The Lion King on consecutive nights in New York a year ago in September. I enjoyed Aida very much but loved The Lion King. I had heard some of the critics did not enjoy Aida--it seems to me that it was not even one of the entries for best musical last year for the Tony...

    Priority Seating for One?!?

    I have had the opportunity to be solo at WDW for a few days waiting for my family during the month of January. By and large, it is a great time to go. I've never had problems getting ressies on the same day, but then again, I have never requested a fireworks seat. For dining solo, I would...

    Pinnochio on Broadway

    I understand that Julie Taymor (of Lion King fame) is working on a Broadway version of Pinnochio. Anyone hear when this will be opening? Will is start off Broadway as the Lion King did before going to New York? Any word on who else is collaborating in this project?

    Here's something new to read

    Saw some lizards in one of the lounges at Pleasure Island. They weren't small. They weren't fast. They could really drink!
