Rob and I wear our Guest of Honor badges all the time and people always ask me where the bathrooms are....good thing I know where they all are



I really wish we could get a Disney Visa up here

Cass,

Didn't you do a photo collection of WDW Bathrooms? I actually found it pretty interesting. The theming never ends!

We usually save our points up for a couple of years and then put them towards our AP purchase. It usually adds up to one person getting a free AP! We'll be putting the cruise expenses on the Disney Visa to rack up more points for our next trip.

I don't think anyone answered my question a few pages back. If you don't have a flight to catch and don't have a Disney Bus to catch back to WDW, do you automatically get put in the later groups to disembark? Is there any way to request the later groups?

Last May we had an afternoon flight right after the cruise, so no rush to leave. We were at the last breakfast seating and among the last to leave the ship. Since we won't be in a rush this time either, we would like to be at that last breakfast seating again.

BTW, how is everyone planning to get from the ship to WDW? DCL bus? Car service? or private car?, etc.

Congrats Jen on your milestone. Keep up the good work with Thomas. He will be just fine with a mother who cares. Diane

Jen, sounds like you're soing a great job ... big hugs and praise for getting so much sorted so quickly

Thank you for the words of encouragement...it means a lot to me...

I'd answer if I knew for sure!

I thought the times were determined by your dinner seating rotation, but you could also eat at Topsider's and get off the boat whenever (meaning, whenever they kick you off! ) but I am not certain.

Edited to add: We're getting a private van for the trip to/from MCO. I will pay the extra money to have someone drive me and my party of 11 to and from the "Disney Boat" (that's what DS calls it!).

We bought Curious Case of Benjamin Button on Blu-ray last night

I can't wait to watch the behind the scenes stuff


For anyone who wants to see a very sad but VERY powerful and awesome movie, make sure you watch this movie....I LOVE this movie!!! Just make sure to have some kleenex handy

I never got to the theater to see this movie. I think I'll be buying it myself tonight. I got a couple Best Buy GC's burning a hole in my pocket. I was going to use them to buy a new camera but I can't make up my mind on that either.

Our mortgage advisor came over today

We've just sorted out our mortgage payments for the next 10 years

I hate talking about money

It bored me quickly and my mind drifted off after a while and I started thinking about food

That's soooo me Karen.

I agree with Jen. I didn't think there was an assigned time to leave either. I could be wrong though.

 

[cntkg1]

Well, since I stink at the game maybe I can get an FO instead??

 

[cntkg1]

Hey Kathy, can I trade in a few FO's to buy a ?

There are 7 of us in our group. I rented a 12 passenger van from Avis and will be driving us to WDW.

People need to get over themselves. He was having a great time and was not hurting any one or the company. We will not be on costume because of the limited space. We will have mouse ears and matching t-shirts. Megan is giving me a hard time about it but Jose is still a little afraid of me so he will go along with out a word (to me at least)

I've already planned for the girls to wear whatever they have for Pirate night on the cruise to the MNSSHP. As for Matt and I, probably matching Tshirts as well. We'll see!

 

[Tinkerbell.RN]

I started to say I know most and Matthew probably knows them all...then I remembered your website! You really DO know where they all are.

Home from my half day in first grade - all went well. Took a walk with a friend before coming home to have lunch. Now catching up on board.

Doubt it. Plus, that is over-hyped and not as severe as they thought. When we talked to the nurse this morning, she was wondering about strep throat. She says there is no way to tell for sure until they can rule out everything else when he comes in. I'm sure they'll check strep first.

One of my grandsons had a virus early in April. Started as a cold & got worse. It was before we knew about swine flu but I swear he had many of the same symptons. He was tested for strep, mono, & influenza, all negative. AS for the hype, I have to wonder if they hadn't done it if things would have been worse. My DIL who's a doctor was extremely concerned as was the Maine CDC.

Off to watch the Oprah show - The McCanns are on tonight

Lets see if she rips into them for leaving their kid alone so they could scoff on dinner or whether she's polite

What is the general feeling about this on your side of the pond? Was she really taken or did they do something to her?

The redsox have their number so far! And now Jorge is on the DL with a hammy injury!!!!

we heard from cassie today. they are having a blast at wdw.
they love the SSR. she said its not crowded at all.
they have character bfast tomorrow.

How can you not have a blast at WDW!!!!

Hey Dan/NancyK, can you please post the link to your cool smilies?

Dan isn't here right now - I'll try to remember to ask him.

Good luck Dan on your first day of work. Have fun. Congrats on your 42nd anniversary. Have an enjoyable dinner. You guys deserve it. Yes, The SOX'S are hot. They are playing Mikey's favorite team tonite. Come on Celtics and Bruins you can do it. Plus American Idol is on tonite too. Boy will I be busy. Plus Elijah has basketball and Asiah has track so they will be in two different locations. I will have to be in one place and my daughter Kristen will be at the other location. Busy night. I will tape American Idol and watch it later. Oh Nancy, my aunt was a telephone operator for Bowdoin College. Diane

Who knows, perhaps I have talked with her when I called there!!!

I agree with the other answers - I think it's just tied into your dining rotation. We've done it both ways - Disney transportaion & not - & both times we've had early breakfast.

I've already planned for the girls to wear whatever they have for Pirate night on the cruise to the MNSSHP. As for Matt and I, probably matching Tshirts as well. We'll see!

That's what I'm planning because of luggage limits - trying not to take too much.

Note to self: stay close to Cass she knows where all the restrooms are.

We are driving to Fl so we will take our time getting off and then drive to WDW. I don't know how that works as far as getting off the ship.

 

[Timon]

Cass,

Didn't you do a photo collection of WDW Bathrooms? I actually found it pretty interesting. The theming never ends!

Matthew

I do! And would you believe me if I told you that it is THE most visited page on my entire website!

We usually save our points up for a couple of years and then put them towards our AP purchase. It usually adds up to one person getting a free AP! We'll be putting the cruise expenses on the Disney Visa to rack up more points for our next trip.

Matthew

Sounds like a great plan!

Disney is the only cruise line that does not assign a debarkation time. You can leave whenever you want, as long as it's by 8:30 am I think as they need to clear the ship. Although I suppose you could try to hide out in a bathroom or something

I started to say I know most and Matthew probably knows them all...then I remembered your website! You really DO know where they all are.

Note to self: stay close to Cass she knows where all the restrooms are.

Yup, I know them all and I think that will be a really good thing since the next time I am there I will have an almost 3-year-old who will be potty training

 

[Timon]

Forgot to add Matthew that we are renting a van from Avis right after the cruise. If you want cheap, that is the way to go!

 

[Timon]

Nancy, I don't think you will regret buying that movie! It is now my favourite movie and I saw it twice in the theatre and looking forward to watching it again and again. And ask Rob, I NEVER watch a movie twice. Not unless there's a 1 year gap in between

I could write a whole book on why I like that movie so much!!! If you've ever experienced the death of someone you love, it will touch you so much!!! And I think it's the kind of movie that everyone can take away something different from it

Time for lunch

And you probably know where all those are too.

Yup, we're with Avis too.

I agree with Jen. I didn't think there was an assigned time to leave either. I could be wrong though.

Correct. There isn't an assigned time to disembark (although you must be off the ship by 9AM), which is one of the wonderful things about Disney. Other cruise lines make you line up in theaters and bars and wait to be called. Disney expects you to manage your own departure. Also, there are no assigned dining times for breakfast - they ask you to go to the restaurant where you had your last dinner if you want a sit down breakfast, but I believe they'll feed you anywhere.

Well, since I stink at the game maybe I can get an FO instead??

How can you stink at it? There have only been 2 awarded so far! Do we need to get out the WHAMBULANCE???

Hey Kathy, can I trade in a few FO's to buy a ?

Nope!

Note to self: stay close to Cass she knows where all the restrooms are.

Me too! My favorite is the between Peter Pan and the Haunted Mansion in the Magic Kingdom. It has these lovely animal ceramic tiles on the walls!
