Hi Jessicamom
I'm glad you had a wonderful birthday.
Hi Jessicamom
I'm glad you had a wonderful birthday.
I am on this cruise as well.

Please can I ask a question about linked dining as I'm still not sure of how It's going to be set up this time.
Is it going to be linked so everyone is sitting in the same area ONLY
OR
Linked in same area AND the people you request to have on your table if you have a preference
I'm excited about going on my first Disney cruise! I've been on other cruises and avoided Disney cruises because I thought there would be too many little ones to distract me (or make me wish my grandkids would be with me). But, this cruise is turning out to be highly anticipated as 5 WDW friends I met thru WDW Celebrations activities will be sailing together on this cruise. Yay!
We plan to start at Disneyland Euro prior to catching up with the Magic in Barcelona.
Any tips on transportation from Paris and/or travel insurance recommendations?
You have mail with my Pinterest link.
Here are the margarita cupcakes with fresh raspberry buttercream. (See previous post about my sickness for staging pictures of objects! )
I originally found the cake recipe on Pinterest, but when I went back today to grab it to share, the source of the Pin blocked it to the general public.
The good news is that after I made this margarita cupcake recipe, I did make a comment on my Pin about the recipe stating that for the liquid, I used 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup tequila, 1/2 cup skim milk. So if you can adapt that to your favorite white/vanilla cake recipe, you should be good!
I had my own favorite Raspberry Buttercream recipe, which is as follows:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pound powdered sugar
As for the Kahlua Buttercrean, here's the source I used for those. I cannot attest to the cake recipe mentioned here, only the buttercream, which I've made twice now. I did add a smidge of salt to it as well so it wasn't quite so sweet.
WARNING: If you like Kahlua, you may find yourself eating it with a spoon!

I would be happy to tell the story but I'm afraid it would lose something in the translation without Ed acting out the part of the ape, and his pitiful expression as it took his candy maybe onboard ship?
We cruised last year on the Fantasy on a family reunion cruise of 44 people, and Disney made it so easy for us. They seated us close together at dinner, and didn't even blink when we all sat with different people, at different tables every night. Wave phones became our best friends on that cruise. Someone in the group had laminated a list of everyone's room & wave numbers, so we could be in touch easily. Somewhere you asked about Palo's for brunch without the private dining room, they can accommodate that!
PM'ed you both with my Pinterest page. Hope you'll do the same!
Kimberly, do you have a recipe for lemon frosting? I am making a white cake with lemon frosting this Thursday for my book club. I was thinking a lemon buttercream or something??
Claire, Naughty cupcakes? This brings to mind a very interesting use of frosting......
Great! I'll send mine to you as well!
Here's my favorite lemon buttercream recipe. I am a huge fan of Meyer lemons, and it works wonderfully with those as well!!
Lemon Buttercream
4 Tbs. unsalted butter
2 cups powdered confectioners’ sugar
1 ½ tsp. lemon juice
1-2 Tbs. milk
I better say nothing......don't want to be banned!
Hi everyone - I know we are supposed to introduce ourselves but I've been resisting because well....I'm so boring.
My name is Holly and I'll be 61 at the time of this cruise. This really is my dream cruise, and the one I've been waiting for. (and not very patiently I might add)
Some of you may recall my discussing ASL previously on this thread. I am not deaf, but I am steadily losing hearing because of Meniere's Disease. Most of you will never have heard of this. It's an ear disorder that results in vertigo, drop attacks, and hearing loss. I had surgery (basically brain surgery) two years ago to stop the drop attacks and vertigo. They did find out I had a brain in there at least. Didn't say it works....
I'm doing much better although I do have some balance issues, so if you see me walking crookedly I have an excuse I can readily use.
Anyway, enough of that. I love cruising. It's the best vacation in my book. I am excited to see new places and sail again on the Magic as she is the first ship I ever sailed on. I am looking forward to meeting you all!
LOL, I just had to make the joke. My friend's bachelorette party is coming up in 2 weeks, maybe we should make some naughty cupcakes for that.
I live in Niagara Falls, Canada.....have spent my whole life here.
Kristi.......make that 3 bottles!!!!
Problem is none of us really know at this point what will or will not be in the cabins. One of the rumors of the extended dry dock is a complete overhaul of the cabins. New furniture? New bed? Just new linens? Virtual portholes?
We can discuss cabins based on past cruising history but we won't really know anything for sure until Fall.
