    At the risk of sounding like a complete jerk....

    I'm just working on my scrapbook and I noticed that the Concierge staff must be a bit conflicted on this issue. In the schedule they provided us it states 7:00pm Dining is reserved at PALO, Deck 10, Aft, for a party of 2 If Dining in Palo's, a Jacket is recommended

    Why get internet access on vacation?

    it was the first time our dog had spent the night away from home. It was important for us to know how she was doing and it was equally important to the neighbors that were dog-sitting to know that they could get ahold of us in case of emergency. And if that's too silly of a reason, we had ds's...

    APL Rotation-- Late Dining

    We had heard the same thing but decided to ask for it because of the theme nights matching up so well on that rotation. There were sufficient amount of kids that my 2 12 yr olds didn't feel out of place (when doing the conga line, waving napkins or other festive things in the dining room). On...

    At the risk of sounding like a complete jerk....

    I feel like Bart Simpson at the chalkboard: I will not say Palo's I will not say Palo's I will not say Palo's After reading this thread in its entirety (so far) in one sitting, perhaps the funniest thing is that Rundogrun used this as the thread to make his/her first post. Now that's...

    Favorite Crew Member?

    tried to catch if anyone has posted this yet but didn't see it: Ian is leaving to be Asst Cruise Director on the Carnival Triumph. During our 2/15 cruise, I had seen him several times with a guy that obviously wasn't a DCL employee -getting back onboard in Key West (he'd been shopping for shoes...

    Disney Credit Card

    mj, you're about to reach "Dave_from_Marietta" and "Barb &Tony" status :smooth: It's getting to the point that no matter how obscure the subject matter, there you are with an answer. Just how did you have the customer service tel nbr handy?

    Video Games/Arcade

    Don't know about checking out video games. Never heard of that. The arcade cards were $10. As far as I know the games that use the card are in QuarterMasters located between the Goofy and Quiet Cove pools as well as the 3 games up at the ESPN lounge, not sure if anything in Common Grounds uses...

    Questions on bringing friend of your child.

    as MJ said, good point. We had both the form in the DCL documents and a form I typed up notarized. With security at Orange when we traveled I had visions of not being able to take Evan on a plane without notarized permission from his parents. I had everything on our itinerary from flight numbers...

    Questions on bringing friend of your child.

    We stayed in a suite but didn't feel it was fair to expect his parents to pay that cost so we figured out how much the cost of a veranda stateroom would be and they paid the equivalent of that for DS's friend. We went Disney all inclusive so the airfare was included. They sent along spending...

    Cozumel Mini-Golf review & hints

    We had a great time at Cozumel Mini-Golf and I recommend it as a great way to spend some time. We did come up with some hints: Our plans for Cozumel were a round of mini-golf followed by a trip to Chankanaab for snorkeling before our dolphin swim. We disembarked carrying our snorkel gear and...

    Is Margaritaville in Key west similar to the one in Orlando?

    We made Margarittaville our "excursion" on Key West. Yes, it's dingey, but isn't that the point? It's not a Holiday Inn. It is a bar first, eatery second and family restaurant third. Located quite a hike down Duval, it is in an old building and has kept that atmosphere. The restaurant itself is...

    cable ties?

    On our return trip from WDW on the 27th I had one of my checked suitcases searched. Not surprisingly it was the one stuffed to the gills with misc "stuff" ranging from binoculars to a can of air freshener. It's no wonder it didn't make it through the industrial strength scanner. Apparently...

    coffee pots & steamers

    when we were on the 2/15 Magic, I took my 4 cup pot. I had no trouble but beware that the smoke detectors are very sensitive. Hubby set it off our first day on board by taking an incredibly steamy shower with the bathroom door open. Mid shower he was answering the phone in the bathroom when...

    Cast member discounts.....

    okay keeping said cm perfectly anonomous, while we were in WDW last week my DS & I had the occasion to chat with a cm while waiting in line with no one else behind us. When we told him/her that we had just gotten off the Magic, she/he said that they really wanted to go on a cruise but was having...

    Here is the link for some of my pictures from our 2/15 Western Cruise

    another 2/15 cruiser here. Thanks for uploading your photos. I got 4 rolls developed on ship but I'm getting Magic deprivation issues because I still have 12 more to be processed (but that includes our stay at WDW). Seeing yours has helped. I'm like Valerie I was on deck on Key West morning but...

    Castaway Cay - Which beach first?

    At the Disney Dreams presentation the night before CC, Cruise Director Rick told us that when we get to the beach, no matter how nice it looks, just keep walking. . .there's lots of beach to be found. We took his advice and after trudging behind DH all the way to the end of the family beach...

    Another stupid question...am I too fat to go on a cruise?

    After buying a swimsuit (thank you Land's End) with built in shorts as opposed to skirt to camoflage my behind and thighs that seem to move around a bit more than they should, I found myself in the ship's elevator with a couple of ever so slender teenage girls that were both wearing itty bitty...

    Norwalk Virus Still on Magic?

    On the 2/15 Magic, can't say it was "Norwalk" but the spa called and left a voicemail cancelling my manicure because the nail tech had a "family emergency". I called back to ask if I could just borrow some polish remover and the girl who answered slipped up and told me the manicurist had been...
