Yes, we want the one with y'all. Keep me posted! I am so nervous over choosing. Cozumel still has me very confused. Want dolphins, but like Dolphinaris because closed pool, but Chank cause of park... DS has mild Cerebral Palsy and I know the enclosed pool would be much easier for him to keep his balance vs waves.

I will keep you posted. I think you're right, he enclosed pool would probably be much easier. I have heard Dolphinaris is very nice too.

Decisions, decisions! Wonder what Dolphinaris' refund policy is? I really want to do this with the kids (DH has no interest). Might see about booking on our own.

Ok dumb question what is the Pirate excursion that everyone is talking about?

It's in Grand Cayman- here's the description from DCL's website:

Pirate Encounter
Shiver me timbers! Set sail on a tender boat to one of the world's last wooden brigs, the magnificent Valhalla, where you will be greeted by pirates! Upon your arrival, embark on a 45-minute coastal cruise along Seven Mile Beach and drop anchor for a refreshing swim stop. Walk the plank and splash down into the breathtaking blue of the Caribbean. Then, savor the flavor of a cup of fruit or rum punch before taking off on a scenic 30-minute journey back to the tender boat on your way to Georgetown Pier.

Port of Call: Grand Cayman Activity Type: Water Sports Activity Level: Moderate Duration: 2.5 hours Price: Adult: $42 (ages 10 and up)
Child: $28 (ages 3-9) Ages: 3 And Up Additional Information Travel time via tender boat from the pier to Vahalla, and back again, is approximately 10 minutes in each direction.
The boat anchors in open water. Guests will not be able to swim to the beach at any time.
Beverages are included.
This tour is not recommended for Guests with limited mobility or wheelchairs.
Due to very limited shady areas, Guests are encouraged to bring sunscreen, hats, sunglasses and/or additional clothing. Cameras and backpacks are also recommended

Awesome - Those would be fun! Different color than Green though...

They probably picked that one because of lime green being the "Disboards" color.

this might be a fun idea for our cruise!

Someone on our last cruise did that- we all wore them alot. I still have them.
It's a great idea!!

Dolphin encounter... I would strongly suggest looking into transportation cuz the site does not say how you are getting to the park.

Awesome Idea for the bracelets!!

Excursions: Key West ~ I think we are going to either rent an electric car/GPS or just the GPS. I found a site that tells you about walking tours.

Grand Caymen ~ we haven't really looked but will probably just walk around.

Cozumel ~ We have been there before & did an excursion (it was ok). There is only one place I want to go to but need to figure out how to get there. Its the Tequila/Agave factory/farm w/out doing a tour.


It seems like every vacation we are always going, going, going, & not really relaxing.

Has the meet-up been decided yet? I think the first is ok but me & DD will be rushing to make it aboard. I knew I should have booked the afternoon flight on the 12th but was trying to save money & not have hotel fee.

FE ~ HOORAY!!! I got mine today. Ordered off ebay & found out she is from MI (which makes me extremely happy). My DD looked at me strange & doesn't understand the concept. Go figure, she is a teenager! Cut off is April 1st, right! Nikki... will you send us a list of who is participating??

I canceled the cruise today. We are going to WDW for a week in August though so that helps soften the blow quite a bit Sorry I can't join ya'll we have a great group and I already feel like I know a lot of you pretty well. I hope you all have a wonderful time.

I am very sorry to hear this, Zane Anthony!

Sorry to hear you had to cancel. I hope you have a nice time in August. Maybe a deal will come along for cruise for then for you.

I had looked at these guys before for wristbands. As long as you ordered enough the price was pretty reasonable something like $1.50 each with a custom message, in ones and twos the cost was like $3.00.

Oh, I am so sorry. We will miss you and Zane. But WDW should be a blast, and keep checking on the Cat 12 rates for then too. I'll keep my eyes out for a good rate too!

We are going to take a cab to the Dolphin Discovery. I believe some other Dis-ser's said it takes about 10 minutes. I have to get more info on that though, just to be sure.

I will probably be getting the lists of FE participants out soon- but was thinking about waiting until April 2nd(the day after the due date)- if that's OK with everyone. Alot of us still won't know our cabin#'s. but at least we would have kids, ages, adults, etc.

P.S. I don't think anyone but us gets the FE concept. LOL

All of my designs are free for anyone to use. Unfortunately, because the Disney designs, images, etc are all copyrighted, you have to print them at home and iron them on yourself. It will not get printed when you go to buy. Disney doesn't care if you use the copyrighted images for personal use (no charging for any designs or creations), but you cannot use a professional company to make. I've been DISigning for 3+ years, and it is the only way we have found to make them. You just buy iron on t-shirt transfers and follow the directions. It is actually very easy to do! You can buy plain t-shirts on line or at Michael's, etc. They also work great on canvas bags, aprons... anything made out of fabric. You could even use them on a FE.

I have a million designs in my photobucket account. You can also go to the DISigns board on the DIS for hundreds more ideas.

Wanted to share that we will also be doing the pirate excursion
So where is everyone staying the night before the cruise????
We are staying at the Radisson And we have the 10:30 shuttle reserved
I might rent a limo from the airport to the Radisson and surprise my sis but not sure yet.... We did the Hummerzine last time and it was FUN!!!

 

[Zane_Anthony]

Thanks for all the well wishes. I do hope that the extra time ensures that I am feeling much better and back to normal, I haven't felt right since Jan!
