Good move...I was going to suggest finding alternatives to water parks. We've been down there at Christmas when it was 35 degrees in the morning and only made it up to 50 - 60 degrees.

2 years ago it was nice enough for t-shirt and jeans but very cool in the evening. It wasn't really that warm for swimming.

Hoping for the 70's.

4 years ago for New Years we were 80, 80, 80 then right before the marathon it dropped to 50! It was so funny to see the South American cast members in parkas and hats and gloves and the European cast members in shirtsleeves! We were comfortable in sweatshirts. One night at Epcot I had to break down and buy a stocking cap. My poor ears felt like they were going to freeze off!

Both breakfast and dinner at Ohana are a 1 point table service. Are you thinking of the Spirit of Aloha dinner show? That is 2 and is held out at Luau cove. A bit of a waste we think. The food was ok at best. Entertainment was fun but a very short program. Everything felt rushed.

Sorry I posted before reading.

BTW, can say that the Disney World site sucks?

I put in "dining plan" in the search area and it comes up "no matches". Come on, you even call it the Disney Dining Plan.

I've never had luck with the that site for searching. It is worse than the DIS for searching.

Then, I go to the restaurant listings and it shows the names and says "dining plan location", so I click on that to see if it brings up the brochure. Nope, it brings up the benefits of staying at a WDW resort.

You would think a company that specialized in entertainment could get a website right.

If anyone wants to look at the list of restaurants, click here: http://adisneyworld.disney.go.com/media/wdw/images2003/languagespecific/eng/nontheme/tickets/08Dining.pdf

Nevermind. I was thinking of "Spirit of Aloha".

That is 2 credits, but the Ohana restaurant is only 1 as is the "Ohana's Best Friends Breakfast with Lilo and Stitch".

The breakfast would be a good choice with the kids, but we stayed away from breakfasts (except the one at AK) because it wasn't the biggest bang for the buck. You know me - "it's all about the deal".

I hear ya! We went to the Ohana breakfast last year because my friends son (and me ) love Stitch!! We got the earliest ADR they had and practically had the characters to ourselves. Stitch kept coming over to our table trying to dance with me! Hope it was a guy cm!!

We had nice weather in February this year though, right Robin?

Yeah I avoid that site whenever possible. I even hate going to the DVC site although they have come a long way with it. Now you can find things a bit easier.

Who the heck is in charge of the website over there?

I can't believe how pathetic it is.

And they change the look of it every couple of months. Why not work on the inner workings first and then worry how it looks. Definitely not an information tool.

I feel sorry for the people who go there trying to get info and don't know about the DIS.

Maybe the WDW site should have a link directly to the DIS.

Oh wait, they hate DISers, don't they?

Hi Jen--I'm guessing sunrise, taken from a verandah, on the Magic........am I even close..........

It looks like a sunrise... I can't imagine you going up on deck that early with your little one, so I would say it was taken from your Varandah on the Magic.

Right before sunrise, Key West morning, from deck 10 (not lucky enough to have a verandah )

DH and DS were sleeping in, but I was still suffering from "too excited to sleep" syndrome and was up super early the first morning!

It is a beautiful pic Jen!

If anyone cares, if we were still allowed to post in one long thread, we'd be about 360 posts away from 15,000.

The first one started on 12/4/07. So we are just 3 months into this cruise meet and already at almost 15K. We have over 19 months to go.

Simple math would say we'd multiply by 7 (the 3 months past and 6 sets of 3 months to go). Doing that, we should have about 105K posts total.

Seeing that we are limited to only 3750 posts, and have about 1,000 left on thread 3, we should be looking at thread 26 or 27 by the time we sail.

Good Morning everyone.

Today is Sean's birthday so

Love you honey!
I'll be making him a carrot cake cheesecake this weekend,yummo

Happy Birthday Sean

We're open too. What about Rainforest Cafe, would that be best with the kids being in tow?

Yes, it is going to be great sitting with friends for the cruise.

As for a meet, we are landing close to 11 p.m. on the 14th and plan on doing DL (and CA if we can use our WDW passes there) on Friday.

IF we get a reasonable rate at one of the DL hotels, we will probably stay there until Sunday morning. If not, we will probably head to San Diego on Saturday and then either stay at the LAX Marriott (the other shuttle location) or at a hotel near the pier.

However, even if we do SD on Saturday, it is not like we can't look into meeting up for dinner somewhere on Saturday night.

As for the Rain Forest, it doesn't make a difference with us. DS will eat anywhere. He does like all the animals though (Chris included ).

Looks like we have a place..Rainforest Cafe. We can decide on a day nearer the time.

That's what I was thinking also, we've seen Hoop-Dee-Doo several times and still enjoy the show........oh, and the food as well..........

Strawberry Shortcake anyone?

Ohana is just 1 credit. You may be rigt about the ages though we took a 4 year old and he LOVED it! All the excitement of the coconut races and the parade around the dining room. He also was in awe of the grills and all the flame action. Me thinks the kid may grow up to me a pyro!

How about this site...it could help.

Have you done the Titanic exhibition? - thats good - good for a rainy or cold morning.

Theres Gatorland too - never been but its a half day park and cheaper to get into than Disney

I'm also writing list of restaurnats I've fancied but never got round to such as Cracker Barrel and Sweet Tomatoes

And another "must do" is seeing the snow fall in celebration

Sorry to hear you're poorly Andy - did I give you my germs or did you catch Hazel's lurgy?

I look like Rudolph right now - my nose is so sore and bright red - real attractive - I fell asleep on the sofa this afternoon for 2 hours - good job Ellis had karate straight after school cos I wouldnt have been there to fetch him

Get well soon Andy

It is a crap shoot, isn't it?

All week long it was in the 80's. About 5 minutes of a sprinkle one morning while we were at the Character Breakfast.
