11/14/09 - Special Western - 2 CC stops

[xxcell]

ye, I know how you feel. It got down to 30 Monday night. It is spring right??
Now its close to 80 and i have the AC on-LOL. But it's nothing compared to your weather.

I am dying for the cruise now myself. Thanks for the hello.

We are doing the Royal swim. That 20% discount really helped, remember though I believe it ends the last day of May.

Just think of warm weather and the great food and fun that you will be having soon.

TTL

Sandiegosusie - Which time slot is your Dolphins Encounter? It'll probably be just me & DD6. DH surfs and swims with dolphins all the time (at least that's what he claims).

Mousemom - thanks for the tip about 20% off!

We booked the earliest one, which was 1:00. I remember reading the 3:30 one was cutting it too close. We are planning on just heading over to Chanakanab and hanging on the beach for the day until our "Encounter".

 

[sandiegosusie]

Holy Cow!! I'm away for the long weekend and I have so much to catch up on!!

A big welcome to our newest members. We'll probably be joining the Dolphin Encounter Group as well - gotta get on that soon I guess....better talk to BIL and his family.

I also have a cruise pile, oh and a little cruise box and maybe even a bag or two...

Cheers,
Lisa

My closet is now called "the cruise staging ground" thanks to Denise!

I have a few tubs, bags, totes...it getting ugly! Glad to hear I'm not alone in the horror!

Has anyone been on the ship at this time? Will it already be decorated for Chritsmas? Or will we miss that by a week or two?

The Wonder was decorated on our last cruise. We got our portrait taken by the tree!

Just wanted to introduce myself and say that I'm going to be cruising with you all. I booked this back in December of 2007 while I was on board...and I have been looking forward to it ever since! All hail the Double Dip!

Welcome to the party!

I have to ask - what part of northern VA? My best friend lives in Woodstock. (I know, it's a needle in a haystack question...)

When was your last cruise?

 

[sandiegosusie]

When was your last cruise?

November 2006. We went on a 4 day with 25 family members...it was a kick! This time we are going for the 7 day. I will never sail anything shorter again. This will be our 3rd with DCL and we have sailed 1 with Princess.

Too funny!! She used to live there, then moved out to the country about a year ago!

Glad you're cruising with us!!

Excellent! We'll have to hook them up at the DISMeet on Saturday. I'm not sure how my DD's are going to react to being in separate age groups in the Lab, so it's nice to know that they will have other DIS kids to pal around with.

I can't remember...what time does the BBQ area open? Is that the only place to get food? What if kids need snack before Cookies open?

 

[xxcell]

Ok, so I am set for the Dolphin Royal Swim. Any suggestions for my DS(16)?

Thanks

 

[smye1stdisneycruise]

As far as food is concerned I know many people order room service the night before to take as snacks when visiting different ports. Sandwiches, cheese plates, choc chip cookies,etc! I am not too sure when Cookies opens but I remember eating rather early(11ish). The food is so good there it is well worth the wait!I can't wait to have a big bowl of the chocolate chip cookie dough soft serve! It is DELICIOUS!

Off topic

but I hope everyone has a great "Memorial Day Weekend":

Just checked a recent navigator and it said Cookies opens at 11:30 but I'm sure you can get some of the self-serve ice cream earlier - nothing says vacation like having dessert first....
