Kay has booked our room, but I believe we are at the Raddison. I am really excited as I have never stayed at the port the night before sailing and I am hoping we get to see the Magic sailaway on Saturday night! That will be a first for me.

Linda - the best place for that is to go over to Grills. They have great food, a band on Saturday nights, and awesome views of the ships sailing by!

I'm staying at home, but live close so I am always up for a meet.

Did you guys see this thread on the main forum: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=17837322&posted=1#post17837322

Sunday is Disney Day on the travel channel including an updated version of their DCL program.

 

[JOANNEL]

I have the DVR set to record it all.

We are going to stay at the Saratoga Spa Sat night and Beachclub Villa's afterward. Does any one know if the halloween party thing is at magic Kingdom that night?

We have done both the port & wdw, they both have their good points. I didn't care for the Raddisson, old dirty, the new Residence Inn was very nice, with a great breakfast included. Grills is very good. Go early it was crowded.


Have a nice week end.

Kay- hope all is going well.

Unfortunatly, we are only able to stay 1 night at AKL before the cruise, and 1 night at SSR after.
But I can hardly wait to go and do what we do best. (Eat - with a good view)

That's a great shot. We haven't eaten at Cinderella's Royal Table in years. We'll have to give it a try on an upcoming trip.

Just doing a quick check in. Been really busy.

Getting on the Wonder Thursday for DD 15th birthday and then spending a couple days at WDW after while she is out on spring break.

And getting ready for the EB crossing on the Magic next month!

Then things should be down to a mild roar.

Mary-you do digital scrapbooking don't you? My mom's cousin is wondering if there is any digital Disney stuff out there anywhere on the internet, thought you might know the answer.

Linda - enjoy your cruise!

I used to do a lot more digital scrapbooking. The last year or so I've gone the more traditional route. I never found a lot of Disney stuff except for fonts. You can do a search for Disney clip art, but most of it is so small it doesn't work well.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Greetings..... My wife and I are now wondering what the shipboard options are during the Member Cruise. What about breakfast, lunch, dinner, buffets, brunches? Is there a dress code for any/all of the meals. We have late dining. What does that mean? Is it too late to make a reservation at Palo's? If not, should we? Thanks in advance......

Welcome... yes there is a buffet breakfast and lunch as well as table service for b, l, d.. I assume the dress code is cruise casual for dining room services. Late dining means your dinner time is at 8:30 (if I remember correctly) You can't make Palo's ressies yet. I think if you are a Castaway Club member you can do it 90 day out if not I think it's 120 out. Hope I got the info right and it helps you.

For breakfast and lunch you have two options. The buffet up on deck 9 at Beach Blanket or sit down in Triton's. Both of them are open seating means you can go whenever (in the time frame they are open) and are not assigned seats. If you opt for the sit-down they may seat you at a table with others which is a great way to meet new people. Also you have the option of Goofy's galley up on deck 9 which has fruit and pastries in the morning and sandwiches in the afternoon. Pluto's which has hot dogs, burgers, fries, etc. and Pinochhio's which offers pizza.

For dinner you will be assigned a table and dining time. Late dining means you'll be in the later of the two rotations (usually around 8 pm). If you want to go to the main shows you will do that before dining (while early seating goes to the shows after dining).

As for brunch it will be offered up in Palo on our sea day only. Palo brunch is wonderful and fills up fast! Palo is also available for dinner by reservation only. This is every night of the cruise so you have a better chance of booking it.

Dress for dinner is cruise casual which usually translates to dockers/polo shirts for men and sundresses, capris, or nice pant sets for women. For Palo dinner it is a bit dressier. Nice dress or fancy pant set for women, dress pants and a dress shirt for men (many also add a jacket and tie). For beach blanket, Goofy's, Pluto's, and Pinochhio's you are fine in a bathing suit and cover up as they are by the pools. For Triton's for breakfast and lunch you will be fine in shorts and tops much as you would at WDW.

Reservations for Palo can be made at 105 days out for those people in cats 2 and 3 (the ones are not occupied during this cruise). 90 days out for castaway club members (those who have sailed before) and 75 days out for new cruisers.

Some people will say that Palo is a must. While I love Palo we didn't do it until our 4th cruise and I don't regret it.

I hope this helps and I'm sure others will chime in with their opinions.
