Is she going to IU by chance? My wife and I are from Purdue, but I wouldn't hold it against you for letting her attend Indiana.

I have added your threads to the cruise meet list

trying to add icon to my signature

I don't think it worked. I wish I could help, but I'm not very good at explaining how to explain those things.

I don't, but you can find them online, was thinking of suprising my husband with one, he's a HUGE Mickey/SF Giants fan. It's going to be hard to decide which club to hang out at on the cruise, so many choices! So many libations!
Maybe one with a sports theme on one day....then subdued and relaxing the next day...

I can't find the webcam link! Can you post it, thanks!

Is there an email with the FE list that was sent out for the B2B? If so, could someone PM me the list, or my email is s_queenbee2002@yahoo.com
Thanks

Email me at SSMemberCruise2011@Yahoo.com please include your stateroom number, names of all people in the stateroom, ages of any kiddo's, and that you are doing the B2B so I can add you to both lists.

Hope everyone is having a great night. Too bad the BEARS couldn't pull out a win. Better luck against the Redskins next week. I have a question for everyone...........Do you get the DDP when you visit The World??? Wondering how many people use it and if it is really worth the money. The past two times we have gone, we used it and are using the dining plan again in January when we go. What do you all think of the DDP??

We have never used it, but have friends who use it quite often. Curious to hear how other like it, too.

 

[Luckymomoftwo]

We did the dining plan for the two days after the 2010 member cruise. IT IS WORTH IT!!!! We probably won't use it when we have the kids with us. My son is over 10 years old and he just doesn't eat enough food to justify paying that much for him.

We ate at Le Cellier and our bill would have been $95.00, but with the Dining Plan we only had to pay the tip.

We like to do as much as we can when we're at WDW, so we don't like to spend a lot of time in the sit down restaurants. So, if we WERE to get the dining plan when the kids are with us, we'd just do the very basic one where we wouldn't have to go to the sit down restaurants.

Hope that helps!!!!!

If you are gonna do it, the best way is to reserve all the best restaurants 180 days in advance. That way you maximize what you pay. The problem is that everything you do revolves around your reservations. You loose some flexibility but you get to eat at some of the best restaurants in the country for a lot less and you'll get great food porn!

DW and I have used the DDP the last few years as friends of ours we have traveld with love it. DW does not always feel like a big meal and so this year we switched to TIW card and so we are trying it for 1 year. I gives us a little more flexibility. I think if you plan ahead and like to eat full sit down meals it is a good deal.

Chris and I have just sent e-mails with our information for the gallery as well as the FE exchange.

We are looking forward to traveling with all the members again!

This coming March 26 through April 2 we will be enjoying this view. Can't wait!!

Yeah, too bad about the Bears.

We have used the dining plan in the past, both the regular and the deluxe plan once. Now we us the TIW card instead. The dining plan is good but since DH usually wants an appetizer and no dessert it doesn't work as well for us. If you have an AP you can purchase the TIW card and it gives you 20% off of most sit down restaurants including alcohol. It does automatically add in an 18% tip though.

We use to do the dinning plan all the time. We now ave tables in wonderland. The dinning plan was a better deal when it included the tip and an appetizer. We think tables in wonderland is better. And as of March Le Cellier is 2 table serves
