So are you and Terry suggesting a 4-seater electric car ??? We would love that!!!!!
And you two will be our own guides - touring Key West ? WOW !!! That would be just perfect !!!!
MANYstops , lots of FUN !!!! and pics !!!! and video.

Would you like to watch sunset from Mallory square or from the ship ??
I thought you liked the 8:00PM seating better than 8:30 ; we too think maybe 8:00 is the most convenient .

I'll "study" all of your notes ... and write more !!!

I researched the time of sunset from last year on our date...I would rather have the 8:00pm dinning rotation. Maybe we could tell our servers we maybe a little late for dinner that night.

Beckie

No problem being a bit late for dinner ! If we choose 8:00 we will be at Parrot cay , right ?
So we can dress CASUAL / and watch sunset ... from the ship ? or do you think it will be more "colourful" if we stroll around in Mallory square???

I looked that link , LOVE THOSE FUNNY CARS !!!
What do you suggest ? should we book when we are closer ?

CAN'T WAIT !!!!!

Laura
Did you get my PM ? and ... always wanted to ask but never remembered: did you get our second DVD with all of our vacation video clips ?

 

[MAGICinMYHEART]

I'll call and check everything out next week to see what they think. The Sunset will be the same on Deck 10 and we will still be able to see everything going on at Mallory Square I guess we can play it by ear.

[MICKEY'S DREAMERS]

TANDEM bike ???

 

[MAGICinMYHEART]

Did you get my PM ? and ... always wanted to ask but never remembered: did you get our second DVD with all of our vacation video clips ?

Yes, we did receive it after Christmas I sent you a PM Thanking you and DHG for it...That is the one we were watching yesterday...I received your PM but I guess you didn't get mine... (it was when all that was happening on the other website) NOW I FEEL AWFUL...THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the second DVD.
You Know Laura I bet it was when we were having the server problems here on the DIS remember server is busy try again later.

Quick question, I'm hoping to be assigned the 8:00pm dinning rotation on the Western Magic. This would be APLAPLA my question is on the first night @ Animator’s Palate, will they do the light show Saturday or the second time we are scheduled Tuesday.

I just did that rotation.
The show is the first night (saturday) only.

My you have been working so hard on the trip! I feel left behind in the dust. We did get changed to the late seating and we are very happy about that considering all that you have shared. I remember on our cruise last summer, we had to fight over who got the shower and we always seemed to have a hair or clothing crisis. This will give us more time to relax. Now when we are in Key West we can eat at Sloppy Joe's and still stop at Margueritaville!
I am so excited about all of your plans and it will help me get my act together as well. Question, do we have a choice about what time/rotation we have on the late seating? Do I ask the travel agent?

I'm going to call and request 8:00pm dinning because, I feel the APLAPLA rotation is best for Formal Night, and Pirates Night. So if you want a specific time just have your travel agent request it, they may assign it.

If for some reason they miss your request you can also request the change once you get onboard.

I'm going to sign up for the Tropical Rain Forest, this allows access to the large showers that the SPA. Others have reported that they enjoy taking their showers there to give other family members access to the showers in the stateroom, with three females in your cabin this maybe a win-win stuation, you and your oldest daughter may enjoy the sauna and steam rooms.

[MICKEY'S DREAMERS]

I know I know ... Beckie and I LOVE SOOOO MUCH to talk about our cruise !!!!
I'm happy if something in our chatting can help you in your planning !!

As for the dining rotation you could choose among

8:00pm=APLAPLA
8:15pm=PLAPLAP
8:30pm=LAPLAPL

If 8:30 is your choice you will dine at
Lumier’s first night
Animator’s Palate second night etc.
Parrot Cay

OR
if you choose for instance 8:00 you will get
Animator’s Palate
Parrot Cay
Lumier’s

We are thinking of choosing the 8:00 rotation - so we can attend some events we like after dinner - without having to rush !!!

You could ask your TA for the main seating - and specify you would like the EG 8:15 rotation or whatever ...

Usually Beckie and I book our dinner at Palo in one of the nights in which we all should visit a restaurant for second or third time ...

Did you try Palo on your previous cruise ???

CIAO , talk as soon as you possibly can !!! Laura

 

[MICKEY'S DREAMERS]

Michelle

I'm going to call and request 8:00pm dinning
Beckie

Hi Beckie darling !!! Are you going to link our dining tables NOW and also ask for the 8:00 schedule ??

If so , I'll ask Marco to send you our reservation data !!! and you should send over yours - so that we can also ask to link ours to yours - as we did last year !!

Don't you think we are too far from sailing ? or do you guess it's better if we ask now ?

CAN'T WAIT !!!!! Laura

 

[MAGICinMYHEART]

Laura

I think we could wait a little to link our reservations, but then again the earlier we request the 8:00pm Dinning rotation the more likely that we will receive it. Tell Marco to go ahead and send in both request at the same time. If he sends me your information I'll do the same. I will call back when our dates get closer to make sure everything is taken care of.

This is what I'm planning on trying to book at Palo:
August 13, 2006 Sunday Day-2
Palo Champagne Brunch 10:00am-12:00pm

August 15, 2006 Tuesday Day-4
Palo Dinner

August 17, 2006 Thursday Day-6
Palo High Tea 3:00pm-4:00pm

Will this work for you?
