Pirate night usually gets a different menu than normal nights

I'd love to hear about Toy Story Mania. We will be there on Saturday. Is it mostly like the Buzz Lightyear ride at MK? That is one of my kids favorite rides.

Also, at Hollywood Studios, how interactive is the Jedi Training. Do they pick a couple of kids to join them, or quite a few?

Thanks.

Toy Story is a great ride. It is, in my opinion, better than Buzz Lightyear. There are similarities but they are different rides. I think the Imagineers had fun designing Toy Story.

Depending on how long they stopped for b-fast/lunch. Mark and Mary should be passing my way within the hour.

<------Me jumping and waving at the window. Hope they will see me, stop by and pick me up. DH can fly down tomorrow by himself.

It;s fun, but the lines are long, fast passes go quickly and the ride is very short. So go first thing in the morning. It's more fun than buzz and the Mr Potato head on the line is amusing.

Day from where?

We did Toy Story Mania first thing this morning and we loved it! Frank was much better at the ring toss but i ended up with the high score.

The big news of the day, however, is that I officially became a DVC member today! I've been grubbing off Frank for the last 10 years and I thought it was about time I got my own points. We took a tour of the new AK villas and I totally fell in LOVE Frank is thinking about adding on Contemporary. We saw those too, but they are way too Jetson-like for me.

The word is that there may be some special add-ons on the cruise...

Hi Timika!

Thanks for the BOO. Haven't got it working yet, but it's probably my fat fingers.

b/t/w Mickey says Hi Ya to everyone!!!

Thanks for the boo as well - I took off signatures so that I can access better via iphone

There was last year so you should wait. I am so ready.

These people are nuts. You think I was the pnly one who knows anything. I am glad we are going to be out to sea with no phones.............

 

[tikimimi]

I can't wait to meet everybody!

I can't either! It is going to be so much fun!

Picked up my AP, had dinner at Big River. Got my first Gadzooks for this trip. Spent the rest of the night catching up and getting organized. Tonight is Raglan Road.

Gadzooks - go get 'em!

I am echoing those of you saying the day is going slowly. Of course now that I am home to do things, it will fly then tomorrow at work, it will drag. And I have more papers to grade before I go!

Thanks for the BOO, Kathy! I will pass it along. Happy anniversary Mandy and Ken! I did something to my neck today at our cheer clinic for the elementary kids, so I am hoping it is better by tomorrow - a muscle relaxer is headed my way. I need to relax - Mickey, take me away!

Home what's home I have a three hour tax class.

Where's my boo???? I need to go get wash going and my toes done, but my neck is saying, "Lie down!"

YAY! Congrats! I want to add on at AK Villas but Mace said we might have to wait. Need to refi. Said we could add on if we could live there year round... Silly Man..don't he know I would if I could.

 

[2princess 2pirates]

Ok, so I have to stop reading these boards if I ever want to get packed. We leave at 5:30 am tomorrow!

But the good news is that my "claws and paws" are done.

I also have to add that my DH did the sweetest thing today. He gave me a nice, mushy card telling me how much he is looking forward to this trip. It's not my birthday or anniversary or anything! Hmmm....maybe he is hoping that we can still sign up for the rasul.

 

[dejnosluvmickey]

i dont know if its been asked. This is our first time, how does the tipping work? I know you have the same server through out the cruise. But when? how much?

i dont want to insult anyone.

 

[cherylp3]

Great news! Your Tips are paid for! You may want to carry cash for the bartenders and coffee bar. Our room, food and beverage servers are all paid for. At the end of the cruise you will receive slips with amounts and envelopes for you to hand out.

if they are included what are the envelopes for? i read teh "tipping" post in the info area. So on the member cruise tipping is included and anything we give is an "extra" tip?
