We don't bring much cash at all on the cruise. We only bring enough for porter tips, room service tips and postage on Castaway Cay, with a bit extra for just in case. Otherwise, everything goes on our shipboard account, including tips.
Hey Val - we're going to do the Capt Marvin's short excursion that makes only 1 snorkeling stop (which me and the girls won't get off for, but DH will), then right over to Stingray City. Our plan is to book the 8:30am excursion, since the morning is when the girls are the best, and you're back by 11:00am, enough time to get back for lunch. Maybe if we're together, we can give each other moral support, and the kids will have someone to interact with (besides their siblings).
I'll let DH know when he gets home tonight and see what he thinks. We weren't going to plan anything at the ports but just go with the flow to see where it takes us, but I didn't want to miss out on Stingray City either! Hudson isn't so sure about the rays, though. I tried to tell him they are just like Mr. Ray on Finding Nemo, but he's still questionable...but I want to do it! 
Waterfront Centre is a couple of blocks from where we tender in at Grand Cayman. It's a short walk, maybe 5-10 minutes. Then, they take you in a shuttle (like a mini-bus) over to the boat dock.Thanks so much! That just answered almost all the other questions I had! Well, except two...is Waterfront Centre where the tender boat takes you? (I think I read that you tender at GC.) Do they take you on a shuttle to the boat or is it a taxi? I've heard the taxi rides can be kind of
to Nancyr100!!! Ohmom--prayers for Taylor and DH. Don't worry, they will be fine for the trip!! !

The question was if you could tell by logging into Disney, what your dining time will be. The reply was:
Ok, I gave it a try and it says 6:00pm. Now, my understanding was that this will only say 6:00pm for Main seating and 8:30pm for Late seating, and that you won't truly know your dining time until you get your KTTW card. So, I'd be interested to hear if anyone is coming up with other times like the 5:30pm/5:45pm/6:00pm or 8:00pm/8:15pm/8:30pm. Or, is the web still just giving us the basic dining times (which are actual just the old times, before they did the staggered times).Good morning everyone!
I just saw this bit of info on the "main" cruise board, and it worked for me!
So, I tried it, and the email told me what time we would be eating. So if you're wondering too, give it a shot.
No, it really doesn't matter too much. The biggest thing is that if you could find out your specific time, then you could figure out your actual rotation by looking at old Navigators.That's what I was wondering....if it broke it down or not? Not that 1/2 hour really makes a lot of difference.
That's cute!! I like the way that the main shirt is still white (the Mickey stands out more). I actually had a friend make them for all 4 of us for our cruise back in 2005. Somewhere I have a picture of all of us on Castaway Cay in our "matching" shirts. DH is pretty agreeable to pretty much anything that I give to him to wear.Completely off topic here but I wanted to show you the shirts I made for our cruise last year. I thought they turned out great, my DH thought we looked dorky in our "matching" shirts. Actually they didn't match, I used different colors for mine & my DS. I don't know if you can tell but it's a tie dyed Mickey head. We wore them onto the ship.
If anyone is crafty I can try to find the directions...
Well, he's not very fashion-wise, so he usually asks me if something matches anyway. So, when we're on vacation, and he doesn't pack (EVER!!!), then he wears what I've packed for him to wear. And, unless it's a chicken suit or hot pink, he'd probably be ok with it.You've trained him well.
