Thanks for the info.

I will call DCL this p.m. re the castaway #'s as I never received them in form of a letter and this will be our 3rd cruise - apparently they have issues with sending stuff to those overseas ----Canada

We are in cabin 2612 - this is our first time with a window, cat 9 - Cat 11's the other two times.

Thanks again,

Denise, Peter, Jessica and Kimberly

So last 10-day Pirate Nite was on St. Lucia day. Do you think it will be the same this time? I don't want to book Palo on that night!

OK, let's try this again.........

Dee - I'll look into transportation options at Pineapple Beach and let you know. We had a very nice, relaxing day last time we went. They have a nice, uncrowded beach front and a pretty cool pool. The food's OK, nothing spectacular. We got the 10:30am day pass and stayed till about 3pm. I am also going for the AM Brig Unicorn.

We are doing WDW until 12/31. We are staying off-site (Orange Lake CC) and plan on doing the parks .

Yes John, what exactly is SWMBO and what exactly do Pitsburghers do for pirate dress up ??

Sam - That IS a dilemma. Too funny he can do cruises but won't dangle his toes in the water at the beach. You would think the middle of the ocean would be a bit more intimidatng for a non-swimmer.

Flying Monkeys is a pub in Key West with an extensive mixed drink menu (they are on the web). Some of us are meeting up for a drink (or two ) at about 3pm (I think). Come on along and join us .

On St Marteen we are going to go to a place called Sunset Beach Bar to watch the jumbo jets land/take off. I guess they start about 1PM. Sounds silly, but I read it is very cool to watch. If anyone is interested, I'll post more details.

Welcome to the thread Married A Disney Nut Jump on in and join the fun.

Kara, nice to see you back. I am assuming that they are going to follow the same schedule. I looked up my old navigators amd the first formal night was the first Sea Day which was Monday, so I'm making mine for 12/18.

If anyone wants bracelets, please PM me with how many adults or children's you would like. I would like to gift these to my DIS friends, but please PM me with what you need...thanks

Also, anyone wishing to linked with the DIS group for late seating, I am in charge of that. If you are interested, please PM and I will go over the details of what I need for info.

I think it will be. It is the best guess we can make at this point, I think .

PALO BRUNCH ROOM.....

This is the scoop -

edited to add: we are trying to reserve it for Dec 24th - 10:30am

There is room for 14 people.
We need at least 12 to reserve the room.
DCL will not guarantee us the room until 30 days before the cruise.
Any Wedding or Vow Renawal Party has priority to the room.

Since we can not get a guarantee until after on-line ressies open up, we are doing a back up plan of making an on-line ressie for Dec 24th at 10:30am and asking to be seated together (hoping we will at least get the same section) so that even if the room falls through we can still do the bruch together (kinda).

We did have a full room, but many of the people that originally signed up have cancelled the cruise. I would still be more than happy to coordinate this with DCL if we have the 12 people minimum needed.

Right now we have:

DEE47 (1)
KSDTink (2)
Magiroux (2)
Allison & Rich (2)
DCL Goddess (1)

That leaves openings for 6 more. If you are interested in this please PM me. It will be first come, first serve.

Again, they will not guarantee confirmation untill 30 days out, and even if that date is not available, perhaps another date would be, if we all were willing to be more flexible.

Good luck to everyone that is making ressie on-line tonite

Magiroux, Thanks for being so determined and typing everything 3 times! (I think it was 3 times, if I followed your story correctly).

For the record, there's only 1 of me for Palo. My DS is 10. So I guess there's room for 6 more, not 5.

Yes, please let me know what the deal is for the Antigua resort. I think I'll put my deposit for Eli, and decide later...I hope his boat doesn't break down this year!! (It did in 2004 and he had to cancel our tour).

7 more hours!!!

 

[tink&cinderella]

I forget -- anyone doing the World pre-cruise? Or post-cruise? We'll be there 12/10-16 and 26-28. MVMCP on the 14th, though I may try to get tix to the shuttle launch. It's scheduled for the 14th, but when does THAT ever happen on schedule?

SUE, are you still around????

Hi there,

just reading all the posts - we have tickets to MVMCP the same day as you!! and are at WDW from Dec. 7 - 16, then the cruise and again from Dec 26- January 2.

Take care

Denise

Yes John, what exactly is SWMBO and what exactly do Pitsburghers do for pirate dress up ??

Sorry I didn't respond earlier. I don't go by John in real-life so when I saw the question from OP to 'John', I skipped right over.

SWMBO is my dear wife -- "She Who Must Be Obeyed".

As far as Pirate Night goes, you'll just have to wait and see...

My dilemma is that my DH (Paul) is not good with water, he doesn't swim and won't even go in for a paddle LOL hi swear he has a phobia which makes it even more laughable to me that he loves to cruise and has done for years.

He and I can hang out together -- I am the exact same way. I do not swim, don't like pools and don't go in the ocean. I'd rather sit on the boat or beach with a book and my music. I didn't think I would like cruising for those reasons, but I love it.

SWMBO and I (Janie and J. R.) would be interested. We're going to book brunch for earlier in the week but we'd join in if we can get the room.

 

[dee47]

3 hrs, 54 minutes.

Not that I'm counting

 

[dee47]

Well if I'm talking to myself....

 

[dee47]

might as well....

 

[dee47]

grab a T.O.P!!!!!

 

[karaeric]

Hi all-

Yep, we're here too, just waiting for the ressies to open up, though we're having such a hard time figuring out when to book Palo for dinner! We're trying to link 8 for dinner, and we all want to do Palo the same night (together if possible), but not everyone has paid off yet!! Urgh!

Anywho, I guess us west-coasters have an advantage of sorts...but way to go Dee!!

We are flying into MCO Saturday, 12/9. We don't hit WDW until Tues, but we too are going to MVMCP on 12/12!! Yay! Sounds like there will be lots of us there!

Cheers, Kara

 

[karaeric]

grab a T.O.P!!!!!

and you're not talking to yourself, I just can't type fast enough!

 

[karaeric]

Okay Dee, DH and I are debating now. Was it 2 formal and one semi-formal night for the last 10 night holiday cruise? Geez, we're gonna have to dig our our navigators yet!!!

BTW, we're watching a special we taped on Tivo on ABBA.
