Cruise question!!

Is it true that Costa Maya has a Dolphin experience? I think I saw someone mention that. Would that be through Disney or privately? Since Coz is up in the air, that would be great.

The best thing to do is sign them both up with their own screen names and then point them in this direction. Remind them to sign off and then sign on if they change who is writing so their responses don't get confused with the previous poster. Happens ALL the time here.....

BTW, you might have to clear your cookies too!!

Clear cookies on both the DisBoards and the Internet and you're home free!

(I forgot the internet at first...)

WELCOME, WELCOME all of our new people. Seems like it is a busy day with our new folks coming on.

I have a little shirt/bag update -- We should have the order form in by early next week. I have been in training the last two days at work, but have touched bases with the vendor and she is making some changes we requested.

Also, instead of the flat $10 shipping, it is now going to be based on actual costs. I was concerned because we had some people just ordering shirts and others just ordering bags. I hated for the people just ordering shirts to pay $10. Unfortunately, we won't know the actual costs until the packaging is done and weighed and it depends on what zone it will go to. It may be a few dollars less then $10 or it may be a couple $$ more than 10.

We have also changed the deadline date to April 7. I want to have time to get all the orders and go through them to make sure nothing is missing before turning them over to the vendor. Because we can't fit anymore onto the form, if you are having your shirts embroidered, you will need to attach a sheet and print out your name/size for each shirt you want embroidered.

Okay -- any questions, please let me know. I will try to check in this weekend, but it will be very busy with the kids. We have a jazz festival for the older son on Saturday and Ashley has her season swim championships this weekend.

Thank you again!

Paul, there is no reason why you can do both, scuba and running. I'm just starting the distance running so I am not in your league. I'm hoping to run the Disney 1/2 marathon in January. Possibly the marathon next year.

I've been thinking about a run at CC too, but is it possible to find a place to run that is not full of people?

By all means, bring your shoes. There is always deck 4.

BTW - I just got my new Garmin FR 205.

Between the Stingray encounter past adult beach and down the shellrock road - but it is not a long distance.

Very tired this morning as I was up watching the skating - so sorry to see the falls of everyone, not jst the favourites. But the winner was splendid....I will not about to try to post her name - And Japan has a medal - how wonderful for her as well.

Now that it is over, I will tell - I was rooting for little Kimmie......she seemed so "on" in the short program.

Good morning cruisers!

Happy Friday!

​

McFamily - ages for DCL excursions are firm. They won't go below them. Sorry.

Paul - if you want you can send me the picture of your family along with the rest of your information and I'll add it to the photo gallery on our web page. My e-mail address is marygums@monorailgreen.info The web page can be found by clicking in the link in my signature below. Please put May cruise or 5/27 in the subject line. I'm doing a page for our October cruise as well and need to know which cruise you are on!

If anyone hasn't pm'd about buttons and the mini-navigator there is still time but the earlier we get it done the better. Makes production go faster if we can do most of them at once. Thanks!

 

[chip&dale&fun]

Have a good Friday everyone.....off again.

 

[WVMD]

Okay, PIF and 90 days is coming up. Can

Are the "Ages" on the online excursion booking suggestions or rules? We want to do the dolphin excursion at CM but DS is 4 and the age is 5. (Also have DD7 and DD8)

Same question for CC excursion that includes bike rental. DS4 can ride well with training wheels and won't be happy in a seat behind me.

Mostly plan on doing absolutely nothing on whatever beach we happen to be on but would like to do the above and a little snorkeling.

Always open to suggestions.

As Mary beat me to it above - DCL's age limits are firm, While you can sometimes make the same arrangements directly with a vendor - if it is through DCL they will not allow you to go if you are under the age, and since they have your information - no way to let it slip by.....

Sorry.....

I am a distance runner (marathons, 1/2 marathons, etc.), and I am considering taking my running shoes and getting a run in at CC. That could be a lot of fun. I am wondering when (if) I will even find the time to do any snorkeling during the cruise.
Paul

Hi Paul! You & my DH Bruce may get along. He's a runner too. He has done 1/2 marathons but is not up to marathons yet. He doesn't DIS. I'll have to see if he plans on bringing any running gear with him. He may not though as that would leave me with alone with DD-5 and DD-3.

Hi Maria!

Diana watches it. I stopped by the TV on the way out to get DD at dance and watched that routine. It WAS HOT!!!

I really laughed at Drew's response to one of the judges statement he was ready for Brokeback Mountain the Musical!!

Good Morning Everyone!!! It's Friday and that means Kareoke time!!!!

In celebration of our newest arrivals!

Consider Yourself - from Oliver!​

Consider yourself at home.
Consider yourself one of the family.
We've taken to you so strong.
It's clear we're going to get along.
Consider yourself well in
Consider yourself part of the furniture.
There isn't a lot to spare.
Who cares?..What ever we've got we share!

If it should chance to be
We should see
Some harder days
Empty larder days
Why grouse?
Always a-chance we'll meet
Somebody
To foot the bill
Then the drinks are on the house!
Consider yourself our mate.
We do't want to have no fuss,
For after some consideration, we can state...
Consider yourself
One of us!​

Scoopie, our mascot still has plenty of time to visit! His website link on my signature has his itinerary. If anyone still wants to host him, just PM me!

His website is updated with photos, but my host doesn't like it...I'm supposed to ask permission or something like that - guess I forgot to ask " Mother May I"- I'll get John to work on it this weekend...

 

[CajunGirl2]

Question for Kikipug or Scuba family or anyone else that may know ... I think I'm going to make a reservation for us to sleep in JAX area the night before the cruise. Do either of you have a suggestion on a hotel in that area? We'll be coming from I-10. I'd prefer that it be close to the interstate ... not dirt cheap but something reasonable ... cleanliness is a must!

Edited to add ... Ok ... where was my mind this morning? Jacksonville ... Daytona ... not quite the same place, huh? So neither one of you may have any input for me.

Thanks,
Angie

I contacted them -- the are like a hotel and they ony sell the dolphin excursion to their hotel guests. The only way to do the dolphins is to book through the cruise, or at least that is what they tell me. There are two excursion times for the dolphin swim (10 and 11:30 a.m.) as I was told by a Disney CM. If you are in the earlier one, it is more time to spend on the beach (Uvero) I think a lot of people will be trying to book this one. It will be interesting.

YES!!! I got into it last season (with all the controversy over who really "won"!!). This season was even better! Can you believe the legs on Stacy Keebler? 41" - WHOA!! I was rooting for Jerry Rice early on, but it soon became apparent that it would be between Stacy and Drew. OMG - Drew and Cheryl's performances last night were awesome -- and, yes, that freestyle was HOT,HOT,HOT!!!! Sunday night will be interesting because they each have one more performance that the judges will score.

 

[BWVPam]

I caught the end of Dancing with the Stars and saw Drew and Cheryl's dance. That was incredible. I hope he wins. Stacey is good, but I like Drew. I really couldn't believe that Jerry Rice made it into the finals. I really thought that Lisa and Louie were better. Oh well
