Mine to. It will be strange. May do Adult beach one day and the regular beach one day.

We are too far from Cape Canaveral to hear the launches. I haven't seen a night launch. Either I forgot or wasn't home for any that were in the early evening. If it a launch was after 10pm, it's too late for me.

We've booked parasailing at 11 on Monday and waverunners at 11 on Wednesday.

DH is booked for parasailing at 11 on Monday to. I would assume you will be on the same boat.

Him and my DS have tried for the waverrunners 2 times and have not gotten on them on CC yet. Once it was the weather and the other time they could not get them started. Hope you have better luck.

I hear you. We are in bed by 10:00 to.

They don't call it Serenity Bay for nothing. It is so relaxing. We love it.

It's funny; the last time we were there, I said something to DH like, "All we need now is a cabana boy to bring us drinks," and I was joking around calling "oh, cabana boy." Sure enough, along came a CM who was happy to take our order and bring us Bloody Marys. It doesn't get much better than that!

I was thinking about doing the wave runner thing with my daughter- I think it would be a ton of fun! Just deciding if I'd rather spend the money elsewhere- like on scrapping stuff!!

When we were at CC for our cruise over Memorial Day, they had two boats for parasailing. I've never parasailed or been on a waverunner so this is going a new experience for me. I have ziplined in Alaska, that's about as close to parasailing that I've gotten so far.

I will be the first to admit. I am a chicken to do it.

Thanks for the congrats everyone.

My husband talked me inot going parasailing once. I was soooo freaked out- we did a tandom ride, and it was AWESOME! Certainly something that was well worth the few minutes of panic! I had a blast flying in the sky!

Now, something like skydiving- NO WAY- but parasailing was great.

Joanne - I could not agree with you more. You just lay there go in the water and when you want some thing to drink they bring it to you. Give me a frozen Strawberry drink. We will toast on the beach together. We can put are feet in the water and say this is the life.

Carrie - That is a hard choice. If you are going to be there early they also have wave runner for rent in down town disney. They rent them by the 1/2 hour. That is were my DH and DS finnaly did there. You are on your own there were as on the cruise you have to stay with the group.

So maybe you could do both that way.

You've got a date! Maybe next time it'll be a Conch Cooler; I love those.

That does sound like fun. DH is the one who doesn't like to do those things, though, so we usually don't.

I did not know they have two boats. I stand corrected.

DS and Dh did the zipline on one of the Islands on the west coast cruise (can't remember witch one). They bought the pics. I am sure happy I did not do this. It was so hot my DH did not make it through all of them.

They also finally did the waverunner in down town disney.

Well, we didn't make it to the zoo today because of the rain.

But, on a positive note- my mom did get the ok from her Doc to start putting weight on her foot... and she can walk as long as it is comfortable. Once she is able to walk comfortably, she can drive! So that is really awesome. My mom watches my kids for me when I'm at work, so I've hardly been working for the last six weeks... so it will be nice to get back- I like having the extra money laying around! It's been tight around here lately! So, when we get back from our trip, I'd imagine that she'll be good to go!!

I ordered my new FE gifts today, and I'm praying that they make it here on time. I had been painting martini glasses with the SSMC09 and some other cute Mickey things... but they kept breaking. I figured if they couldn't survive being on my dining room table, they'd never make it to the ship in one piece! So, lets hope that the new idea gets here in time!! Or else everyone's getting chocolate, since I can get that before we board!!

Mary, THANK YOU for letting me know Pirate night is usually Monday. I was worried about that one!!

Well, I'm going to attempt to put my one year old down for a nap while my other guy is snoozing, and perhaps I will get a few minutes of quiet for myself. Ahhh, the days when I didn't have to shower with an audience!

Hi!

Yes that would be allot to read. The happening are on the first post first page. If you have any other quiestins ask away. I am sure some one will answer.

 

[mnra]

For those of you that have been on members cruises and regular cruises. Are the members cruise more formal then the other. Meaning do more guys wear suits on the regular dinners.

thanks for the quick reply. Seems like i'm a little too late for a lot no biggies, right? Just have to catch up a little faster

I was reading on one of the other messages about these two magazines and I ordered them...Celebration and Orlando Attractions. Those who subscribe say that they are really good...so, as much as I love getting my DVC magazine, I can look at this and dream some more!!!

Afraid of heights, so no parasailing for Susan...Maybe if it was dark like space mountain... I don't mind that because I don't know where I am, but then again, what would be the sense of parasailing, right?

I have been on this board since 2004 and I want a TAG...where is the TAG FAIRY? I just can't get one...I think I say some rather profound things, don't you all?

Since you live in FL are you driving right to the ship? We are staying at Boardwalk for 2 night before.
