    underwater cameras

    something to consider.kodak film emphasizes greens and blues while fuji tends to emphasize the reds . so if your goingto do underwater the pictures will be more true to life with kodak. on the other hand if your are shooting fall foliage then fuji is better balbrec:cool:

    best time of year for cruise?

    Early November does it for us when considering the weather and cost.Do it on the same week as veterans day and thats one less day the kids will miss school too. Remember, if you book way early then you increase your chances of having the upgrade gods looking upon you favorably...

    Do they ever cancel parasailing

    It was cancelled the day we were at CC due to high winds. That was back in Nov. We still had a great time, sun was shining and temps were good great day for the beach and snorkeling. balbrec:cool:

    Do you really need to prebook excursions?

    Your post seems a bit of a contradiction. If you definitely want to do an excusion then by all means book ahead just in case it is sold out. The part about the kids not wanting to go at the last minute, well all I can say is , who calls the shots in your family? the adults? or the kids...

    11/8/03 Western Cruise roll call.... "looking for info from DISers"

    Ok gang, I've come up with what I think is the best that the Fingerlakes of NY have to offer in wine. My question is, will one bottle be enough for the tasting ? Thoughts and comments please.Just a little hint ( Johannesburg Dry Reisling) .The climate in New York is identical to that of...

    Has anyone done this?

    Thanks for the reply. That sort of clears it up. Let me get this straight. Is it the liquor I buy onboard that I can't open till off the ship? Your statement seemed to indicate if I make a purchase in a port of call that what I bring back on board I am free to consume but no opened bottle...

    Has anyone done this?

    Ok, now I am confused. I've read several other posts that indicated you are allowed to bring your own on board. Can we get an official Disney reply to this, or if someone out there really knows for sure. I know there is a corking fee if you'd like to have your own bottle of wine at...

    Castaway Cay-put your.....

    Most folks dont realize this but spf 30 provides the optimal protection, higher protection factors such as 45 provide only marginal extra protection, something on the order of 1-2%, so its not really worth it. Best bet is to cover up and wear a hat and use spf 30 waterproof on anything you...

    Question about how to treat a new dive mask?

    An old divers trick that works but sounds silly and may not be practical everywhere you dive , is to cut a potato in half and rub it on the inside of your mask. Works like a charm as long as you dont let water into the mask. Otherwise I would opt for the spit idea. It's always pretty handy...

    Being from upstate New York I've had the pleasure of visiting our local wineries in the Finger Lakes region, so this wine tasting idea might be something I'd be interested in. Keep us up to date. thx. balbrec:cool:

    Dueling Piano bars to become...

    These changes will be okay by me. The fact that the new sports bar will be of a different motiff than the ESPN club, will probably draw a larger audience. The kids definitely need a place to hang so using the old ESPN club for them sounds fine. Also it seems (at least in most places) that...

    Passports?

    Although a birth certificate and official photo ID are acceptable, the best form of travel ID is a US passport. They are easier to keep tracked of than several seperate items. There is never any question about the validity of the document also. balbrec:cool:
