Is there a group that is doing this, and is everyone just booking on their own through the site? Would my 15 year old son be able to go on his own? I do not think he would like to go tandem with a guide.

Michelle we are talking about smaller children in the 7-8yr old category. Your son won't have to go with a guide. Unless he weighs 60lbs.

Cherie and I gave the girls a coupon for a puppy for Christmas so today we finally found one at a local adoption. He is only 6 weeks old so we can't take him home yet but it was fun to see him. He is a mix but probably has some lab and maybe some cocker.

Thank you , we did ...It was nice ...were going back in May to Old Key West if anyone wants to have a DIS meet there ????

I'm sure we can make it. Hopefully Liz and her DH and Tap and Dap since we all live in the area. I wonder if anyone else has plans for May?

Just skimming, but wanted to make a comment on Walmart. I've been to that one. Spent a week in PV a few years ago. Anyway, I used my Debit Card with no problems. Just let my bank figure out the exchange rate. Don't remember alcohol there, but I wasn't looking for it either? The main focus of my visit was to get clothes since the airline lost our luggage (well not lost but took it off the plane, but that's a long story).


Also found this about gift cards...looks like a no

DS is still in the hospital. Doc says no earlier than Monday, but probably won't even be coming home then. Sad to say, I've seen him get worse, not better, since he's been in.

Monica, hope things get better. He isn't on any new meds is he ?
Oh I will use the CC for purchases as well. Just trying to get some answers to questions that were thrown around the other night.

Captain it looks like we are looking at around 32 pirates for 3/15. What time are we planning dinner?

I was thinking somewhere in the area of 5 ish ?? yes ??

Excellent -- I will count on it! I prefer the wheat based biscuit like McVitties over the oatmeal based biscuit in Hobnobs, but beggar Americans can't be choosers so I will gladly accept whatever you import to the cruise . . .

Deal

You must be watching the news - same as me

I know what you mean about the Sec of States speech. Officially, it would have been written by one of his Special Advisers and not a Civil Servant. It's a pretty standard speech other than that.

I've met Peter Hain politically (when he stood for Parliament as Neath MP) but eventhough he is the Sec of State for the Government Department I work for, I have not met him officially.

David

I just keep thinking of David Wallimums doing it exactly the same.

Here is a question for all you Dreams Unlimited folks out there. I am really leaning towards transferring my ressie, its definitely worth it $$ wise. We have our stateroom already and we have main dining which is what we wanted. We have not made our final payment yet. We don't anticipate having to make any changes to our ressie at this point.

We have done lots of research and found lots of pros but no cons other than we will have to call Dreams if we need to make any ressie changes. Am I missing anything here? Is this too good to be true - get $$ for transferring your ressie? What does Dreams get out of offering this to customers? I am just curious, I have heard wonderful glowing reviews about Dreams and I am ready to take the plunge but DH is a little more skeptical. Any insight would be helpful. What do you guys think?

I use dreams service is very good get extra OBC.

I got nothing for Cabo that is remotely interesting and that an 8 yo can do. Anyone else found anything interesting?

Cabo is famous for its sea-life, there are stunning, views on from the sea and along the coast, if kids do not get seasick this is the best choice, there is a glassblowing factory that is also educational for kids.

If your Castaway Cay membership is associated with your reservation (you can check with DCL or your travel agent if you used one), you will receive an invitation in your room to the reception . . . you turn in the card when you go to the reception and there is a chance to win prizes. They show videos and a lot of the ship's officers are there. There also a few drinks/snacks, but nothing fabulous.

On this cruise, may be 2/3 or more of the ship!

Coral, I thought this looked interesting.

Hey, Has anyone thought about having a get-together on 8/16 in or near DL? We should all be there by then & could spend some time putting faces with names and stuff.

Another volunteer for the committee! LOL

Supposedly Mark (DisneyPilots) was planning on something on 8/15 or 8/16 but he has not been around very much. I agree with you Mike that DTD or one of the hotel restaurants would be better than trying to arrange something in the park on a Saturday night in summer. It would be great for whomever is in the parks during the day to meet up and spend the day together. Maybe even a couple of times for people to meet up would be great. We love Storytellers menuat the Grand, good food, a buffet if you want or menu and is in close proximity of the parks. DTD has several restaurants to choose from Tortilla Jo's (Mexican)menu, Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen, Naples (Italian/Pizza)menu, House of Blues, Catal menu, Rainforest Cafe and ESPN Zone.

We don't have anything planned either. Last time we were there in 2005 we took the boat ride out around the arcos. It was fun but been there done that. We are thinking that a day at the beach may be in order. Medano Beach looks to be one of the most popular. I would love to go to Lover's Beach but there are no facilities there. Medano Beach supposedly has hotels, bars and restaurants on the beach. There is also a mall in the harbor area that may be fun to visit and grab some lunch if it is too hot. Puerto Paraiso Mall

Mike DL is not WDW when it comes to dinning.

Disneyland:

Blue Bayou menu This is by far the best restaurant at DL. Downside is that the menu is limited and it is expensive but you can't beat the view and atmosphere.

Cafe Orleans menu Good food almost across the street from Blue Bayou. Seating inside and out. Good food and cheaper than BB.

Carnation Cafe (Mainstreet) menu Breakfast look great though never eaten there for breakfast. Lunch and dinner are good. Limited menu. Seating is outside.

California Adventure

Ariel's Grotto menu. This is a Princess dinning experience. You get to meet most of the princesses here. Seating inside and outside. Outside is on the lake which is really nice in summer. This is a Prix Fixe meal which is not bad for the money.



Wine Country Trattoria menu This is recently become our favorite lunch spot but would work well for dinner. Inside and outside seating. Very peaceful and give you the feel of being at a winery.

Vineyard Room at the Golden Vine Winery menu This may be the best in park dining at either park but we have never eaten here. This would not be some place for the kids. It is located above the Wine Country Trattoria.

Other than these we are talking counter service at both parks.

And I'm just moving these forward to look at links later for website....

So sorry to hear this Monica, my heart really goes out to you, stay strong.......

How adorable!!! Congratulations!!!

This "ALMOST" makes me want to get another puppy.

Yeah, I was thinking that the water would be hard if I hit it, but you know in the movies they just swim away when falling into water

I want to do it, really I do. I did the parasailing because Darren's Aunt and husband did it when they went to Hawaii in 1990 and I figured if these "old" people were doing it then I would too

What happens if you let go of the handles ? Are you strapped in enough that you just hang there or what

Some friends of mine just did this over Christmas vacation -- they have a 10 year old daughter in Meredith's class. She let go during one of the zipline runs and just sailed on, slightly tilted back, to the next platform. Although I don't recommend it to my girls scared1: ) I do think that you are in extremely securely regardless of whether you hang on.

If you can overcome your fears, you should try to do it . . . my friend said it is seriously like being a bird, flying above the trees -- a truly unique experience.

 

[bellelinus]

That sounds like a great idea. We want to see DL's Fantasmic. I heard that it is better on the river using the full-size steam boat.

Maybe I will just decide on an evening and time when we will be there and set up a place in advance and whoever wants to join us is welcome to . . . as Roger said, we can have lots of get togethers, more and less formal.

I'm so sorry to hear this about Trevoy, Monica . . . I wish I was closer so that I could help you in some way. How is your mother?

Roger, he is adorable! My 5 year old lab mix (Linus) was adopted as a puppy from a shelter and he is the best dog I have ever had . . .
