Please come and join us for a Beaches and Cream Kitchen Sink Party at 6 pm November 17th. Please be sure to let us know how many will be joining as we would like to get a head count to B&C before we arrive. Can't wait to meet everyone!!!!

Hi Liz--thanks so much for all you've done. You can count on my group of six for the cruise if it goes, but the early B&C won't work for us--too close to our dinner time. Hope to see you in November.

Party of 4 checking in...keep in mind we may be a little late as we have a PS at 1900 Park Fare for dinner at 5pm but we'll head on over for some ice cream after.

barbeml - do you have dinner plans that evening already? If not, you could eat dinner at B&C. While I haven't sampled, I hear their hamburgers and lime rickeys are the best on property.

Hopefully, we'll still get that second boat.
 
DW and I will be there. I'll be the only one interested in sharing a Kitchen Sink. DW's idea of a sundae is vanilla ice cream with hot fudge sauce, she does not want any part of the all the other goodies in a Kitchen Sink.
 

I'll have to check with DH and see if he'll be up to it. :) Hopefully he will - I'd love to meet other Disers!
 
6pm for ice cream may preclude others from joining us if they have firm dinner plans.

Since you don't have to show up for the cruise until 8pm and it's right at the Y&B Marina, could we back it up a bit? Maybe 6:30 or 7pm?

This might allow barbeml to bring her group and would give me a little more breathing room to get to the Y&B from the GF.

Any opinions? I am not dictating here, just asking for feedback.
 
So I will get a table and we can continue to add as everybody comes....for those who would like to start to gather and mingle at 6:00 and grab a few extra seats and order the Kitchen Sink at about 7:00...does that help at all? I hope so!!!!

Any time after 5 PM is fine with us. It's been our experience that Beaches and Cream gets very crowded after Illuminations so I'd agree with zulaya's suggestion of meeting at 6:30 or 7 PM.
 
We were considering dinner there also so.. we can also have a table that we can add people to. See you all there.

Zulaya--we are having an early dinner at Shutters that night, but hope to join you after.
 
I'm Back on Board!
Finally able to post under my own user name again- Just wanted to let everyone know that I still haven't been able to secure that second boat but I'm still trying- Also to say that Beaches and Cream is still a go for us, but expect one more- my DS will be with us.
This means that if we can't get that 2nd boat we will be giving up our seats on the Illuminations cruise-Maybe fixintodie and his DW can jump on instead.
 
KDawnLily, thanks for the mention about getting back on the cruise if you can't do it. We can toss a coin with lizdotcom99 to determine who gets the last 2 seats. Then again I'll probably be trying to book a Birthday Fireworks Cruise in late January. Both DW and I have late Jan birthdays. So there may be no need for a coin toss. Can't believe there's only 62 days or so until our meet.
 
KDawnLily--I have some concerns about people having to give up their seats. We do not have kids but are traveling with my 3-year-old nephew for the first time, and I worry that his "moods and stamina" may be unpredictable.

I would hate for any of you guys to give up seats and then wind up having just me and my Hubby available for the cruise because Nephew gets cranky, sick or exhausted.

Any advice? I am willing to back out my whole group if it means everyone else can get on the boat.
 
barbeml--- I think it's going to be your call. The boat costs $120 plus tax I think. Then there's the captain's gratuity. From what I have read, most groups tip $20-$25 depending on their captain. If we fill the boat with the max - 12 people - then it's going to cost $12-$13 per person for everyone to pay their own share. So I guess you'd need to decide when the time comes for everyone to pay me if you want to pay for your whole group or not.
 
zulaya beat me to the answer but I also sent you a PM barbeml.
 
Thanks guys. Don't get me wrong--we are all excited about the boat. It's just that I am inexperienced with little kids and travel and don't want to make others suffer at our expense! He is usually an angel but he's never had a week of WDW stimulation and can really be a cranky pants when he's tired. It would be a shame if someone could not go because of a last-minute meltdown.

DH and I are definites no matter what, and it is likely that it will be all six. Once we have paid our share we will certainly not back out of that obligation no matter what.
 
barbeml-- For that matter, if the rest of your party does cancel out, then whoever else can't make it on the boat (if we don't get a 2nd one) can take those spots and reimburse you. It can be that simple. Everyone is meeting at B&C beforehand anyway so they will be there and if there is space, then it can be easy to do!

I am sorry if I made it sound difficult. I want everyone to come! Your 3 yr old will probably love it. My 7 year olds will love having another kid around. The 3 of them will probably have more energy than the rest of us!
 
Zulaya--you did not make it seem difficult. I was just worried about potentially depriving others of the opportunity. Thanks for all your efforts, we're looking forward to a great time.
 
Still trying folks!!! So far it is not looking too good . I also tried getting on a waiting list.....can't do that until we get on property....if anyone is there before us and wants to try, let me know....
