I'd like to know too--any interesting additions to the list?

Oh--and what's already filled up? (Palo, Remy, Cabanas)

I still have to wait another month!

I am Platinum so I was able to get my ressies last night.

I booked Palo Brunch, Palo dinner, parasailing for my DD and son and Cabanas for 2nd Castaway Cay day. Wanted to book the teen spa for DD but nothing showed online.. guess I will do that onboard.
 
I booked a Palo brunch and dinner. There were alot of open days/times for dinner. We weren't interested in High Tea, but there were times available.

I looked at Remy (not that I planned on booking) and saw severals days/times available.

There were also alot of spa openings.

Family cabanas seemed pretty booked, but there were Serenity Bay cabanas available.

Good luck to everybody!!

FOR THE DOUGH:
6 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound chilled salted butter, cut into large pieces
5 large eggs, beaten

FOR THE FILLING:
12 ounces prosciutto, in 1/4-inch dice
8 ounces boiled ham, in 1/4-inch dice
8 ounces pepperoni, in 1/4-inch dice
8 ounces soppressata, in 1/4-inch dice
8 ounces mozzarella, in 1/4-inch dice
8 ounces provolone, in 1/4-inch dice
2 pounds ricotta
4 ounces grated pecorino Romano
10 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon pepper
1 large egg, beaten, for brushing crust.

1. For the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together 6 cups flour and the salt. Using a pastry cutter, large fork, or two knives, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add eggs and knead for 1 minute. Add about 1 1/4 cups ice water, a little at a time, to form a cohesive dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it forms a large smooth ball, about 5 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes.

2. For the filling: Mix the meats, cheeses, the 10 eggs and pepper in a large bowl.

3. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Divide the dough into two pieces: two-thirds for the bottom crust and one-third for the top. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the larger portion of the dough into a rectangle to line the bottom and sides of a 10-by-15-inch glass baking dish, with some overhang. Add the filling and smooth it lightly. Moisten the edges of the dough with a little water.

4. Roll out the remaining dough to cover the top of the dish with some overhang. Trim off excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Poke several sets of holes across the top with a fork. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush top and edges with the beaten egg, then return to the oven until golden brown, another 45 minutes. Let pie cool completely before serving.


:thumbsup2:thumbsup2:thumbsup2 THIS is what we call TORTA PASQUALINA
( Easter pie).

Though we use to have this pie NOT ONLY at Easter time ; eg as it's one of Marco's favorites we usually have "la pasqualina" once a week , also in Winter time . :woohoo:

The only difference is that :) WE SERVE THE PIE when it is still WARM !!!
If we do not eat it all .................. I'll put the leftovers in the oven for a few minutes before serving. We :confused3 never eat "la pasqualina" cool ; IMHO the various flavours are much more ...
enhanced !! when you have it WARM !!!
We also make these pies with lots of vegetables - and no meats ; eg tonight we are having into our "pasqualina" just artichokes , mushrooms and green peas.

Thanks for the info Ginny!

Are Palo Brunch and High Tea only available on the one sea day (Day 3)? I would imagine those would disappear fast! :eek:
I am hoping Day 4 is an unpopular night for Palo dinner (as it's Pirate night). pirate:

Yes - Brunch and High Tea are only on Day 3.

Not sure how popular Day 4 is for dinner but thats what I booked also.

We've done Palo on Pirate night....I'd just recommend trying to get an earlier time so that you don't miss out on the party.

Good luck!!

Actually, a late dinner over the "party" time would be fine. I'd love to be able to watch the fireworks from Palo, a la California Grill!

Thank you for this information.
Im pleased Remy had some availbility left.

I probably dare not think about this but do you know what the price of the cabanas on Serenity Bay and what do you get for that?
I guess it would be out of our price range

We also eat it heated here as well - you are right the flavors aren't quite the same when it's cooled.
