Looks like someone's gonna be a little Tipsy

That is the idea

 

[W@LL-E]

I've no idea what that is. I just know if it's mango, I'm all over it.

The Ataulfo Mango are the best I've tasted.

It could be, but I doubt it unless the access point / router is all the way on the other side of the house (low signal strength).

Naw, I'm just about 7 feet from it. Although, maybe the workload we put the router through is taxing it a bit much. Four PCs, two laptops, 4 next gen gaming systems, an iPhone, 2 iPod Touches, two printers, two Nintendo DSes which have recently been picked up again at my house, oh, and the home server. Now it's not all on at once, but during the evening hours, probably at least four or five of them.

Maybe just a tad

Conceptual plans are every night at the Quiet Cove Pool (Adults Only) Wine sharing

Does this mean I should try to bring a couple of bottles from my local Willamette Valley vineyards? Guess this means I need to plan on the Memorial Day tastings that go on all weekend. Maybe I'll get on one of those bus tours this time though. The last one I went to left me sitting in my car for an hour until I felt safe driving again.

 

[W@LL-E]

Karen, Have you tried any of these:

Dragon Fruit?
Mangosteen?
Dragon's Eye Fruit?
Jack Fruit?
Lychees?

sounds awesome

I'll keep an eye out for them. Looks they are grown in Hawaii. So, I'll see if I can track some down next week!

OK, that does sound like fun. We'll be traveling with a 3 and 4 year old, so I had better not make any solid commitment. But I'll try to catch wind of the latest developments and try to stop by, since our oldest daughter should be able to babysit from time to time. Either that or hope they enjoy themselves in the Oceaneers Club. On the last cruise the 4 year old (then 3) didn't spend more than a couple of hours there before the pager went off.

Man I wonder if anyone plans on the Food & Wine Club AND the Sunrise Coffee Club. That would be brutal for me. Wally should be fine with his alcohol allergy and 3 hour sleep schedule.

Dragon Fruit? - Just Dragon Fruit flavored things. Not the fruit itself.
Mangosteen? - Heard of, but haven't been able to find it here.
Dragon's Eye Fruit? - Nope, that's a new one to me.
Jack Fruit? - Nope
Lychees? - Nope again.

I think I need to hit up my local Asian markets to expand my fruit selections!

 

[DizDragonfly]

sounds awesome

So, is this something that needs to go in a carry-on? No wait, it can't!! Ok, how do you transport wine on an airplane?

If these weren't coming from Wally, I would have guessed they were mixed drinks or shots.

I'm gonna give it a go too. I figure I can always catch a nap if I'm too wiped out, right?

You can check the wine in your luggage on the plane. DCL says you have to carry it on but last time i did not i kept it in my checked bag.

I plan on taking a nap at serenity bay

Guess which one is my favorite out of all these? You guessed MANGO-steen. It's sooo sweet and sooo good.

You might have to go up to Canada to get mangosteen. Not sure if they are grown/sold in the states yet.

There was an ABC store mentioned earlier. It was said to be just south of the terminal on the main roadway.

Assuming you are using Disney Transportation, I think you can safely transport wine bottles in your checked baggage. I know we have transported distilled spirits that way. Use a couple of zip-locks (if they come that big), separate them between clothes, and hope they don't disappear during baggage handling. We have never lost anything, even when the TSA inspects the bag.

Good night Karen.
Good night John.
Good night Junior.
Good night Mickey.
Good night Ian (if you're still lurking).
