I I told her I knew of kids (Charlotte's) that just didn't click with the clubs this time, mainly because there were SO MANY KIDS! They hit their limits for kids, and were only booking adult cabins at the end, did you all know that?

I thought there were a lot of kids in the clubs, too. Especially during the kid's final performance it seemed PACKED with kids. Out of curiosity I asked in the Lab what sort of numbers they had. They looked it up on the computer and said they had 805 kids on board, 792 had registered with the clubs. That surprised me b/c we've been on a cruise where they'd announced "we have over 800 kids on board" but yet this cruise seemed more full of kids. Maybe it was because more kids came to the clubs on a regular basis.

Sharon - wish we knew you were looking for it. We got it at Vero before the cruise but also did see it in Mickey Mates.

We saw it at both Beach Club and in Epcot so I guess you guys will just have to go over to WDW for the day.

That's the cookbook Jim wants so bad. I looked on the ship and didn't see it. So I guess a trip to WDW is in our future. Where exactly did you find the cookbook? Thanks for your help.

And I was so looking forward to it as a Christmas Gift. Don't forget...my birthday is coming up soon.

Question for everyone - has anyone had a chance to post a copy of the group photo that we all took on the ship? We never did see how it turned out, and all copies had been purchased by the time we could track it down. I would love to see it...

We are waiting for the crowds to go home before we head over for the day.

 

[Dancind]

We bought a cookbook at the F&W that has the recipe for that flourless hazelnut chocolate cake, Jim. I'll type it up and post it, if anyone wants to try it. I haven't made it yet, maybe we will save the Banfi until I do.

Maybe someone could post the souffle recipe too.

It's going to be really hard not going to F&W next year, now that we've tried it.

Does this mean we're NOT dieting????

Congratulations for not having to diet.

Actually, I thought the current picture in your signature was a self portrait of how you are feeling after the cruise.

Just posting the recipe caused me to gain weight!!

That's the cookbook Jim wants so bad. I looked on the ship and didn't see it. So I guess a trip to WDW is in our future. Where exactly did you find the cookbook? Thanks for your help.

I saw it at Down Town Disney at the kitchen shop but I think we got it at MGM Studios in one of the shops on the right side of the street as you walk in. There are aprons and things in that shop as well. Sorry I do not remember the name. It is a great cookbook as it gives very specific directions.

Nice! (love you too ) Although I DID feel that way, it has gotten better now that we are not "grazing" on high calorie foods three or four times a day.

That is one of the main reasons, I worked out on ship every day but the days we dove and climbed up and down the stairs a lot.

 

[MrsMork]

But I still have not found anyone who will deliver a Mickey Bar!

But I still have not found anyone who will deliver a Mickey Bar!

Can I bring you one in August? When I get back from the Mexican Riviera cruise?

Angie,
How'd the IVP go today?
Been thinking about you guys! Sure enjoyed our time on the Antigua tour with Jane Parliment.
