Thanks for checking.

No problem, I need all the practice dialing MS I can get before next Saturday!

 

[danandnan]

that is great. My lesson for the week. LOL

Thanks for checking. I also called MS already today to see if they had assigned us specific rooms yet.

Our rooms will be assigned on Thursday and since I won't be home to get their phone call, I'll be calling from the ship before we leave Port to see what our Stateroom number will be.

Dan here
When you got your points on the cruise did you guys get assigned a certian deck.
If get through saturday I think Nanc and I are very happy Cat 9.
Have a great cruise Kay
PS Nac wants to know if you have any extra room in your luggage for an extra passanger HA HA

[krdisneybound]

yes - it will be on Deck 6.

We actually were told we could have 6154 or 6654 - which is the large hdcp. room - aft - with a balcony which is 1/2 way around the back. My friends were in that room on the Panama Canal cruise and we had a big party there with the Customs Inspector guy from Panama. It was awesome.

And we will either stay in that room for the B2B or either move to 6147 or 6647 - the hdcp rooms at the end of the hallway. They are very large rooms.


As far as space in my suitcase for next week, I did have room until I invited my youngest step - granddaughter to go with us. She is 22 and she is one of Kaitlyn's daycare teachers at the Church.

Maybe next time Nac

I'll be going back up on 11/25 for a 4 day. That one I am going solo, so there will definitely be room for that one.

We will be doing late seating.

And for the poster who had asked about how many rooms can be booked, I am not sure if it has been answered yet or not but listed on the member website under the 2008 Member cruise information it states:

"There is a three stateroom limit per Member household."

Hope that helps.

 

[OKWMEMBER]

We're going to try for early (main) seating for dinner.











PDFG and all our friends who need it!

 

[acourtwdw]

We like the late seating dinner, but sometimes it feels rushed because of the events happening after wards. But we will ask for late anyway.

Hope every one has a great weekend and only 12 more days until TDAY and 13 until the biggest shopping day of the year. Please send pixie dust for us retail workers on that day. Please also remember: we only work there and try our best to please every customer.

happy Sunday to everyone.

A day closer to the calling in date.

Now that I wouldn't be ready for! Nope 315 days which makes 45 weeks.

 

[acourtwdw2]

Mary,

I was just wondering how many weeks it was. I long on and there it is. You and Kay are up early on a sunday.

Happy Veteran's Day!
​

A great big thank you to those men and women past and present who serve our country.

 

[danandnan]

Greetings from Nancy. We prefer the 6:00 seating. We were booked for late seating this last time but were switched to early. Not sure if it was because of Joanne's efforts or because we were on a waiting list anyway. We find eating so late is not good for us..... It's a cold windy day here in Maine but we still got out for a walk this morning. I'm still working on the 5 1/2 lbs I gained on the cruise!.... Our grandson's team lost their FB game so now we move on & focus on hockey with another GS. And maybe basketball with another. Keeps us very busy!.... Happy Vets Day to all.

 

[cobbler]

We are going to go for late seating. We has 8pm late seating this last time and we liked it.

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Good afternoon everyone and GO STEELERS !!!

My Dad served on a landing craft at Normandy so he is very much in my thoughts today.

 

[MarkRG]

Well, better late than never, I have finally updated the 2007 trip report with a bunch more pictures. Still have to scan the pirate and beach pics and do the more complex website version, but here's something for you to check out: http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1611688

HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY EVERYONE​

.

I am very fortunate to have my son home with us after 3 tours in Iraq. He has been home about a month now and over joyed that he does not have to go back.

But even tho our family doesn't have a loved one fighting in the war zones at this time, my prayers and thoughts go out to those familes who do have loved ones away from them.

And for those who have fought for our Country previously.

Hope everyone has a great evening.

I know first hand how emotions can get to you.

 

[cobbler]

Mark -
I just saw your pictures on the trip report board and they were great. It really brings back memories!!

Now I have a question about Palo. We didn't make it because by the time we could book it was all full and we didn't rush once we got on the ship. This next one we would really like to try.

What is brunch like? What kind of food do they serve and how is the pricing?
Do they do brunch everyday (aside from embarking and disembarking)?

Thanks!

6 more days and I will know for sure if we are going!!

 

[WDWLVR]

Brunch at Palo is fantastic! They only offer it on sea days so on the Member Cruise only one day.

Cost is $10 per person and it includes on glass of champagne per person(and then room to add a gratuity). It is a combination of buffet and ordered food. Your server will take you on a tour of what is available on the buffet portion. It includes cold cuts, fruit, pastries (I love the Stollen bread with whipped cream), seafood (jumbo shrimp, crab legs, etc.). You also have the option of ordering one of a number of pizzas. In addition your server will take an order for a breakfast selection (pancakes, omlets, eggs benedict, etc.) or a lunch selection (filet, fish, etc.) Of course if you want both breakfast and lunch you can do that as well. There is also a wonderful dessert selection.

Hope that helps.

 

[cobbler]

Wow, $10 seems like a deal! So I have been doing some reading and it looks like if I don't make it on the 75 days out booking, head right to wavebands to see if I can get in.

Is there a dress code for brunch?
