The Skinny Girl Margarittas actually do not have any artificial sweetners in it it has Agave Nector. I have to say I wish it tasted a bit better but the calories is what does it for me.....LOL!!!

I actually like the taste of SG margaritas -- so long as there is some salt around the rim of my glass!

 

[MrsJobba1]

You know I've never actually had a margaritta before

Last time on board the magic I discovered I liked Strawberry Daiquiri's but I've no idea whats in them

Im also partial to the odd konk kooler

I don't tend to like drinks w/ hard liquor in them... what is in a Kooler?

I may be bringing some of my Lindeman's Framboise with me from PA. Not sure where to get it in Florida. I don't generally like beer either but this stuff SO doesn't taste like beer!

Our docs arrived today for both DCL & WDW.

Bethany is emptying out her backpack getting ready to pack it for the trip!

That's an awful lot of rum! Mario might like it though...I can make him get one and have a sip!

All my son's khaki and dress pants are too short so he has nothing to wear to dinner each night, but I am worrying about what mixed drink ingredients I need to purchase.

We all have our priorities!

I took my DD for ice cream today and this little shop is selling DOLE PINEAPPLE WHIPS!! I asked if they're the same ones that Disney sells and she said yes. So, if you're in Milford, CT go to Cone Zone on the Post Rd off I-95 Exit 36.

Cool! did it taste the same?

 

[gfolchick]

I actually had Moose Tracks ice cream because my peanut allergic son wasn't with me and I take advantage of eating nuts when he's not around. But I will return and check it out.

CABIN TOUR SIGN UP will be officially closed in two days.

last call for cabin tour.

meeting place will be forward on deck 13 between 2- 2.30pm. There is an area to the left (starboard) side of the currents bar, that has chairs and open space.
If it is storming rain outside then we will have to meet in a sheltered area. I was thinking of the covered area on the left (port) side of the quiet cove pool- this is forward on deck 11 near the start of our tour. If anyone has a good suggestion of another backup meeting place in case of adverse weather your welcome to let us know.

and btw we are still looking for any volunteers who have cabins in the following categories concierge t, and cabins 10, also 8(b,c or d) if anyone else would like to volunteer their cabin for the tour please send me a pm, this is the last request.

v- shelebeen

r- pudo - to take place on a sea day with jeff as a dis meet.

thank you to everyone who has volunteered so far.
If i have missed anyone, please send me a pm so that your name can be added to the list.

the initial plan is to meet at 2-2.30pm on the ship on deck 13 forward to the left of the currents bar.

at 2.30p sharp we head off to tour the cabins which hopefully should be done in about an hour or so.
The selection of cabins will be narrowed down to those that are somewhat signficantly different from each other, so that we are not seeing duplicates.

Those who are showing, would be the disers who volunteered their cabins to viewed.

Those who are touring will be the tourists travelling to view the volunteered cabins.

Those who want to do both will come along on the tour to see the other cabins and when we reach their cabin hopefully they will open the door so we can see theirs also.


the lifeboat drill takes place at 4pm.


hopefully as long as we don't linger too long during our tour we should be done to give everyone enough time to meet back at their cabins to pick up the rest of their family for 4pm.

the sailaway party takes place at 4.30pm. you still have time to enjoy yourself.

If possible try to be on board by 1.30pm. There has been alot of changes to the port arrival times by dcl, which may have adversely affected our boarding times also.
There use to be a dcl ship tour that mets at the port adventures desk at 1pm. There is was also a spa tour at this time.
When i got on the dream in april we got on really late (2.20pm). So we dropped off my dm in cabanas the buffet restaurant, went on a tour, then picked her up an hour later. Since we had missed the scheduled spa tour when we went there at 5pm after the sailaway party, it was quiet and they gladly gave us our own little private tour of the spa, salon and fitness center.
There's alot of activities that overlap for you to to have a choice. Some do get repeated on another day.

If anyone has any other questions or concerns or ideas to help this tour work please let me know.

Moose tracks is good too! That's too bad your son has nut allergies!

Hello all I will be on the Aug 16th Disney Dream.

I am so excited, however our plans got alittle changed today because our party of 25 went online to complete our online check in and we saw the port arrival times. We got the 2:00 slot which is horrible because we had a a private bus taking us there for 10:30 am we were able to switch it until 12:00 but we are now afraid we are going to have to wait around.

Why didn;t they have more info about this.

DOes anyone have any words of advice.. SHould we still aim to get there at 10:30??

Hope everyone has fun in the next 16 days getting ready.
