05/09/2009 May 9, 2009 7-Night Eastern St Maarten... Watch Out!

[SCDizneyDawn]

how did you get brunch? when did you book?

I booked all our Palo reservations at midnight 90 days out. I could not book our excursions until 75 days because our second room (in laws) are new to DCL.

Sorry about that.

 

[scottie]

Hi every one! we will be doing:

Sunday- Palo Brunch at 10:30
Tuesday- St Maarten island and butterfly farm tour and dinner at Palo @6:30pm.
Wednesday- Skyride to Paradise Point.
Thursday- Palo high tea at 3pm.
Saturday- one night at BVC (waitlist for VWL) dinner at Cal Grill!

I still need to book our excursions, but will do that soon!

Also, Scott, I sent you a PM about bracelets. Thank you, sorry I am so slow to respond!

Maybe I will join your party for this fun-filled schedule!

no problem on the bracelets, I will add your request tomorrow.

Hi Scottie,

I have been away from CC for awhile, but saw today your thread on the bracelets. I would like to order a few if it is still OK. 3 adult and 2 children. I haven't read too much more so not sure of the details. I can certainly pay through paypal.

Thanks,
Marilyn

Sure! If you want glow braceletes for the kids just let me know and I will update your request.

 

[scottie]

I have added the new updates to the bracelet request. We are over 100 bracelets!
Please let me know if anyone still wants added or if any changes are needed.

I plan to try to place an order this weekend (if I can get our bathroom renovation done)!

 

[Royfam]

For excursions I booked the Doubloon Sail & Snorkel on St. Thomas. I had read good reviews on DIS and in Passporter book. I think we will have a good time.

Cool, we booked this also and should have a blast.
We might also try to go to Coral World and/or Coki Beach, but don't want to overdo things.

For the other stops I think we are just going to go with the flow.

The one exception is DW is going for a cabana massage for her birthday.

In case anyone was thinking about mailing a package to the ship, I posted to the new address and mailing info from DCL on the thread linked below.

Celebrating Jeff and Ken's 40th birthday and their first Disney Cruise....

 

[scottie]

Well the kids are really excited about the whole FE exchange now and have told me they are 100% in charge of all gift making/getting for the exchange. They already started putting DW and myself to work tonight!

 

[Mastiff]

j2bmickey,
Are guys on the 1st or 2nd Doubloon cruise? We are on the first one, the second one was already booked.

Sounds like your wife has the right idea with that massage thing! I keep forgetting that I turn 40 the last day of the cruise. Do you think that maybe I am in a little denial!!!! I clearly think maybe I need to add that to my spa day. Not like going on a DCL cruise isn't enough!!!

Does anybody know if we have to get up really early on the St. Thomas day. I could have sworn I read somewhere that we didn't have to do that anymore.

Scottie,
Your kids are too cute. I am right there with them, I am racking my brain to think of fun FE gifts.

I booked our day room at the Hyatt MCO for the last day of the cruise. Our flight is not until around 7:00 p.m. Have any of you ever done this before? Part of me wants to maybe rent a car and go to DTD for the day but I'm not sure if we will be too tired or if that might be too much of a hassle for such a short period of time. We have never cruised before so I am not sure.

 

[YenSid1222]

You have to get up pretty early when we arrive in St. Thomas. However, a lot of people just come by in their PJs. Disney had some light breakfast items as you went through the line. It goes very fast. Basically, you walk in the top level of the WDT, walk down the aisle, and exit out the emergency exit doors on either side and head back to your rooms. The US Immigration people are at the foot of the stage and you just show them your passport. Mostly just a formality as it looked to me.

I thought I had read that this was no no longer the case? Might have dreamt it....?

Edit..nope just checked..no early PJ parties anymore!

 

[dollysmom]

I too have read that you no longer have to rise early on St Thomas day.

 

[YenSid1222]

Cool...then I will plan on sleeping in...Although breakfast in the WDT was kind of fun.

I was DELIGHTED when I read not long ago that we dont all have to get up early for inspection on St Thomas day! Will make the cruise that much happier- because you never want to wake my girls up before they want to!

Too cute... until they make my brain explode from all these ideas they have! DW was already freaking out that I am limiting her on suitcases this trip and now needs to find somewhere for the goodies. I told her we will promosie to keep them small.

As for Hyatt, I have read many posts over time on the main board about people booking a day pass room for the Hyatt after the cruise and they seem to be very happy with some time to sleep or swim or whatever.
If we had a late flight and I could squeeze in some time in WDW the last day I probably would... but thats me. I could see it being a bit hectic trying to do that for a few hours after the cruise though.

 

[Sagbrook]

HI again Scottie,
I would love the glow bracelets for the kids. Thanks, hope it isn't too late.

HI again Scottie,

We will be staying at Hyatt the night before. Our flight gets in about 7:30, hope it is on time so the kids can get in a quick swim. Had to book a later flight so the 8 yr old doesn't miss another whole day of school. I had originally booked for Sat am, but was afraid I would be nervous the whole time worried there would be a delay. The roof top pool sounds cool!!

No problem, updated to Glow! I will try to post a final list for everyone tomorrow and place the order this weekend or early next week.

Well we may just run into each other early then! I was happy with the rate we got via the Stay Certificate option. We will be in there around 3pm, so we will be sure to stir the pool water up for you!
I think we are planning to be picked up the following morning around 8:30am-9:00am and are going to make a stop at the grocery store in PC for a case of water.
