[karentan]

yeah i think we're going to have a few sailaway drinkies on embarkation day
plus it'll be great to get to know our fellow cruisers!!

 

[jenny105]

I'm sure you'll see me sipping a celebratory corona or margarita when you get on board!

 

[karentan]

just one?

 

[karentan]

is anyone else interested on ohanas? i could move an ADR or two around if need be, i've just tried to check availability on the website, but its down for maintenance..... again........

 

[jenny105]

The first of many.

That's the second time today! I tried to get into it when I first got to work.

 

[karentan]

at least it works better than the disney cruise website. i still find it funny whenever i call them, the first thing they ask (before they even ask if you want to book a cruise) is "are you having trouble using our website"

 

[jenny105]

I've only had to call DCL once but I don't remember them saying that. Maybe I got them on a good day? The DCL website is slooooow.

 

[karentan]

its actually been working the last few times i've been on it, stunned really!! lol
now they just need to get the disneyworld one back up, dont they know we've got planning to do

For 'Ohanas, I could do Sunday, Monday (I think) or Tuesday. Plus, I have the Tables In Wonderland Card -- so if I come with you, those not on the dining plan will get 20% off!! Yay for saving money!!

Hi Steph!! I'm Mary, and my DH, Tim, and I are coming on our first cruise. We are celebrating our 5th Anniversary. It will be good to meet someone from Orlando -- we are hoping (seriously now, that DH is on board!!) to move there very soon!! We are actually looking at the town of Davenport. Do you know anything about that town?? Sorry for picking your brain!!

Jen, if you want Margaritas -- i'm definently bringing the stuff on board to make mine!! I will have to make a bunch, too, because the cointreau is not cheap, and from what I read you cannot bring open alcohol off board with you!!

 

[m_kasch]

For 'Ohanas -- here's whats available. I don't know whos coming, so this is totally a guess!!

For 8 -- Sunday, 8:40 Monday, 8:20, Tuesday, 8:25 -- all are around the same time. It might be too late for some people?

Hi Mary! Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Davenport. I think it's not too far away, though. We live in an area called Winter Garden, and we can see the Magic Kingdom's fireworks from our street. It's wonderful to be so close to the theme parks!

I have heard of Winter Garden! You can see the fireworks from your street?? Maybe we will have to add Winter Garden to our list!!!

 

[disney honeymooners]

greg and i would love to do ohanas we would be able to do monday we could cancel our tusker house ressie and do ohanas since it is at our hotel you wouldnt have to worry about us being late. If yall want to we are up for it. Just let me know and let me know if i need to do anything other than canceling our ressie that night for tusker house. hello steph welcome to the board we are quite chatty. Me and my DFi are going on our disney honeymoon and it is my DFi's first cruise ever and i have been on the disney cruise before and i have been to the world too many times to count.

 

[m_kasch]

Okay well, I went ahead and booked monday at 8:20. Just in case. If we don't go, i'll just cancel it. This way, at least we will have a ressie!!

It is SO hot here today!! I had golf lessons, and it was practically torture!! Oh, well...maybe it will get cooler tomorrow!!

 

[disney honeymooners]

ok so is it for all of us? and if we do it i just have to have i think 24hrs notice to cancel it i would love for greg to eat at ohanas but for 2 people they were booked and i know he would love to see yall i mean i know we will see each other the night before the cruise (however depending on how sucessful we are at drinking around the worlds we may not remember it at least at ohanas we will but i will be getting a lapu lapu they are cool looking)

 

[m_kasch]

It's for 8. We'll see how many want to come, and if needed I can just change it later.

The Lapu Lapu is very good!! My MIL & I had one last year when we ate at 'ohana!!

 

[disney honeymooners]

they look good from all the pictures i have seen since we are staying there i am sure it wont be my last one but compared to goombay it wont be as strong. It has been a couple of years since i have eaten at Ohanas i wonder if they have changed anything we will probably be using our room key to charge it to and then pay it off with the disney gift card when we leave since we arent eating at rainforest cafe and that was one of the things on our gifts on the registry and it has already been paid off so it is an extra 60 bucks for us to use for food.

 

[m_kasch]

You are right, the lapu lapu is not terribly strong! There are no more potatoes at ohana and some of the meats have changed. Thet have these tummy fried wontons now too!

 

[disney honeymooners]

i know greg will eat all the meats (except for the shrimp) but that should fill him up at least there is more meats for him to eat there then at tusker house and i think he would like the atmosphere better plus we are sleeping later the next day since we are gonna be at MNSSHP til midnight and we have a 1pm lunch at LTT so we wont be getting to MK til 11:30 or 12 noon. we are watching madea goes to jail it is pretty funny but the other 2 movies they did with Madea are funnier.
