think I found it...got it on FB too. Scrolled over and it said "Solid Savings plugin" Now I know I didn't install it so qoogled it and found out it is a spyware. I deleted it and another I found called "get Savings"

Gonna run a full scan...I did a partial one before I found them myself and it didn't find them....

The "get savings" one was the one that was on the Disney site....

Yikes! Glad you found it before it could do any damage!!!

 

[denise]

yep me too!!! Don't know why the scan didn't pick it up...

 

[denise]

I checked our price and the cat 9B is still the same as day one...

I am just worried about the Animator’s Palette modification. Really love the classic version and hope the electronic tv screen version does not ruin it. The new buffet looks nice and the kid club upgrades look awesome I must be the only person to enjoy Parrott Cay with so many comments on the boards being they are happy to see the change. Atrium was really classy before not sure why they want to change that, do they really gain that much advantage by removing a staircase.

 

[denise]

We really loved the new Animators on the Fantasy..so much fun.
As far as Parrots go can take it or leave it.
I thought I heard Palo's was changing but haven't found anything on it yet.

I'm just excited that it will be done by our cruise!

Agreed... We'll be on this summer's Med cruise. It will be nice to get one last taste of the original Magic before this awesome transformation next summer. I assume there's some mention of Palo in the main threads, but here's a pic just in case.

 

[poohmomof5]

I am so glad that we will be on the Magic one last time this summer before all the changes are made! We love her, she is by far my favorite ship. My husband thinks I will cry when we disembark the last night. It makes me even more glad that we went ahead with the cruise this summer too. (We just booked it about 2 months ago).

I am really really excited about all the changes too though...I think?

 

[MPS516]

We were on the Dream in her Inaugural and just weren't overly excited about the new Animator's, guess we really got to like the ambiance of the classics, part of it could have been the size I guess. I know we are among the few who really enjoy Parrots Cay, its understandable tough given our love of the Caribbean.

Hi All,
We are a Disney crazy Aussie family DH, DS 10, DD 9.
We just booked this cruise - cant wait to meet you all.
I have sent a request to join the facebook page and would love to be a part of the FE. We are in room 7064.

Cheers
Linda

Welcome Linda

I am fascinated by the number of Australians who said DCL, we have 9 or 10 families on our Panama Canal trip already. It is a long way to come but if you are anything like me you probably think it is worth it.

Welcome to our cruise!
Another Aussie family, how cool is that!

This will be fun....It must be easier to travel to Venice from Australia then for us in California...but we will get there!!

i am so stinking excited; we just got off the Fantasy and rebooked our Greek cruise. Saved hundreds. So very happy!

The ship was abuzz with the Magic upgrade. it was funny how the drunker people got, the more the Nostalgia vs Newness debate got louder. And the Princess and Mickey and Friends meet and greets are hugely popular and apparently was a contributing factor in moving the staircase. On our itinerary, some families were lined up over an hour before for the signings.

I'm not a fan of Animator's either - and we had it three times in rotation! My daughter did not like the menu. we had a ton of fun on the character drawing night. That was a blast though.

Let's start a Parrot's Cay fan club. Banana bread lovers unite!

Orville, you'd better take loads of photos!

And welcome Linda! You sound wicked excited!

Maria aka Maraki ....
Glad you had a great time on the Fantasy...we went on the maiden and it was so much fun.

Hope you are having a great Holy Week and will have fun on Pascha..

I dyed 300 eggs yesterday at church...I was in charge of the group and it was the first time for me dying that many...had good help so it only took a couple of hours!
Glad you where able to re-book and save....more to spend now in Greece!! OPA!!!

I forgot to get my palms!!!! I feel like a blithering idiot. I have to go back to the church and get them for the next year (for those who have no clue what i'm talking about, we make crosses out of palm leaves. My family keeps them in our cars, suitcases, and purses for safe travels when we go places. Each year, we replace them. I don't know if it's a greek custom or a family custom, but it makes my skin crawl when i forget, like my Yiayia is somewhere putting the waggle finger on me.)

We are dying our eggs today. I have a white kitchen, and spend all day on Monday cleaning the cabinets. I am stunned you volunteered to be in charge of dying them all - you are a nut! I love that everyone at church who has red eggs, has matching fingertips. Then by 2am, all the kids match. It's great fun. I can't get the deep, deep color for some reason, so if you have tips, let me know. These are our home eggs; I was working full time after getting back from the trip last week and haven't been up to the church much at all.

I hope you have an amazing weekend, and I can't wait to say Christos Anesti!

Ok, you can count us in for a Parrot Cay Fan Club, its always the most relaxing MDR for us.

At least the person who "made" me volunteer helped me.
We used the biggest pots I have ever seen, held about 60 eggs!...they originally wanted to do it at my house...it would have taken days! We put water, not hot, in the pot just to cover the eggs. Also poured in a cup or more of white vinegar. We used the dye packs they sell in church from Greece but as we were dying them Presvetera (from our late retired priest) comes and and tells me to use Ritz dye! Says her mother used it and she is still alive so there you go.....We put the dye in the water as the eggs boiled then when they were done, say 20 minutes, we spooned each egg out and rubbed them with olive oil. And were they hot! So many cracked so I hope there are enough for tonight!Eleni wore 2 sets of gloves and still got red fingers! Bleach works good to get the stains out. Had to pour it on the cement floor in the kitchen...it was a mess.
Good luck with your white kitchen...

Hopefully there will be some palms left. We always bury last years when we get the new ones. Never traveled with them but it is a good idea. We have them on top of our icons...

Eleni starts her first day of her new job today...well actually she will work 2pm-10pm, 5 days a week! She is a lifeguard at the resort at a local Indian casino. She will go to church tonight after she gets off. We are so proud of her getting this job...40 hrs a week until Oct and maybe longer if it stays warm and it gets really hot here. It was 95 the last few days! But they did say she can then transfer into security and keep working...fingers crossed! Within a couple days she should have one killer tan!

Kali Anastasis!!!
