[cruisin'Mike]

Hi all,

I'm finally climbing aboard... the DIS Board. Been lurking for months but just haven't had the time to sit down and formally introduce myself. Please forgive this old pirate!

This is our 4th Disney cruise. I'm Amy and I'm cruising with my DS - Matt. We have a GTY-4 for now with late dinner. We're still mulling over the excursions and trying to decide which ones we want to do.

We've signed up at the Pirate Zone and been reading up on all the activities. Wow, ya'll have been busy with the planning!

We're celebrating two graduations -- Matt from high school and mine from college.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Amy


PS: Mike, Sara, and Lexi in SF

POTC Characters for Pirate Night – Pirate Night

(TASK FORCE LEADERS NEEDED)
Get together with the Pirates for some wine and cheese during one of the restful sea days.

Mickey Ice Cream Bar Speed Eating Challenge- Sea Day Activity
(Task Force Leader CaptainCrash - PM for info Check the planning boards)
Warm up those eating skills, or is it cool them off? Either way, it’s a refreshing contest that everyone can sink their teeth into an ear? Come show your Mickey Ice Cream Bar eating prowess and your innocence while winning cool prizes (well, maybe just recognition as the winner).

PJ breakfast in Lumiere's - Sea Day Activity
(TASK FORCE LEADERS NEEDED)
Admit it, there’s nothing better than lounging around on a lazy day in your pajamas! Well, here is your chance, join the pajama clad Pirates for breakfast in Lumiere’s.

Beer/Wine/Tequila/Martini Tastings (as a group) – e-mail to participate
(Task Force Leaders got2travel and MrsScooby)
Have you ever wanted to learn the difference between Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc? Have you wondered whether the rule really is white with fish, red with beef? Does the term “shaken not stirred” mean anything to you other than James Bond ? Are you just as confused as I am.....Barley, Hops, Pilsner, Lager, Stout..... what does it all mean? “Lick, Slam, Suck” - no it's not x-rated but do you know what it means? Come join us for group tastings. We are working on arranging private tastings during our sea days. At this time we do not have specific details, but we are looking for a show of interest. We are requesting Wine, Beer, Tequila, Rum and Martini tastings. No, we will not be tasting all those at the same time. There will be separate sessions planned for each. And for those of you (like me ) who want to attend them all, they will be scheduled at different times. (And hopefully different days!) These will be exactly like the tastings that DCL regularly schedules, but will be limited to those folks in our group. Each tasting will cost $12-15 per person (subject to DCL's current rates).

Kids event - Postcard exchange/journal completion

Any thoughts on what sea day would be best for any of these?

Any thoughts on what sea day would be best for any of these?

As for the other days..I'm good with about anything. The Cabin Tour will be on the 18th so that our cabins won't get to messy and I was hoping for 11 am so that I have time to do it and then go off and get ready for my VR.

Is that okay?

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

I would love to know what times the sea lion and signature dolphin swim are in PV. That is the only one we are having timing issues with.

I bet you are right though, once your excursion is booked, it probably won't list the times for the others that conflict with it during the same time window. I forgot about that.

I will try and find that out for you tonight.
