Hi
From what I have read, the character Breakfast will be assigned to us when we get our dinner rotation. I believe that it is on one of the at sea days.

We are going to Swim with the Dolphins in Grand Cayman. Then we hope to visit Margaritaville also. Hoping to try to visit Margaritaville during stops in Key West and Cozumel too!

We are staying at the comfort inn. Hopefully we will arrive around dinner, it's a nine hour drive from here to there.

As to Margaritaville, I have been mentally there for at least two weeks. Buffet has been in high rotation on my ipod.

Thats my public box. It contains the Castaway Club album. Chillin music to get you in the mood for a cruise. Disney used to send it to you after your cruise as a decompression gift, sort of getting you primed for your next trip. Download and enjoy!

The Space Shuttle launch has been delayed to the 29th. :-(

We're planning on hitting all the Margaritavilles as well. Cozumel might be a little tough, because we're doing the Tulum ruins tour, but we're going to try to make it there.

I was wondering if anyone is going to be staying at a hotel the night before the ship leaves.

we are going to be staying at the Hyatt MCO the night before

I saw a neat idea and thought I should pass it on...

Bring a photo mat to leave with the front desk on day one. All the characters will sign it and you get it back on the last night. Then you can put your fav DCL memory in a cool autographed frame.

anyone planning on rebooking onboard for any of the new itineraries announced today??

Ok...I lost 20 pounds, found the passports, don't think I am leaving anything undone at the office, got a new camera, a big straw hat and some new hawaiian shirts.

Need to pack, confirm the car service, and think through the alcohol procurement process.

We are flying into MCO Friday night the 15th and staying at the airport Hilton. Will get there around 8PM. We have a car service pickup at 9AM on the 16th, and I requested a stop on the way to the port. Does anybody know a place we can get both wine and liquor either near the airport or on the way to the port?

I can almost feel that cruise feeling. I am normally a very reserved Dad, but get me on a cruise and I am likely to act like a 25 year old. Bring on the fun!

Hi
This is the info I found on the boards.

If you're on a 7-night cruise, you will be given a ticket for your character breakfast depending on your dining rotation and time. There's nothing you need to do. It will be taken care of once you're onboard.

There are three days of character breakfast's and two times per day. They correspond to your dining rotation and time. For example, if you eat at the main dining time, you will eat at the early character breakfast for your designated rotation.

Getting excited here.

Can't wait to get on that ship!!!!

Sorry, double post.

My DD threw a small curve ball at us earlier this week. She has pneumonia - thankfully it is this week and not next. She is recovering - luckily we caught it early (never even suspected anything that serious). Anyway... lots to pack and finish organizing!! Can't believe we are down to one week! I hope to meet everyone sometime on the ship - if not in the Promenade Lounge at 3:00 on Saturday. (just another little plug )
