August 30th 2009 - 4 night Wonder

[IamAnniM]

D on Dime - I also booked the Atlantis but will be taking the cruise escorted van over - I've been there before several times before so I am going to skip the tour and go right for the new water rides. I love all the slides and really looking forward to doing the water coaster and rapids!

 

[Disney On A Dime!]

Our crew will be heading to the water slides early also...they are excited to get to do a water coaster...they have never done one before...I am excited about the lazy river...It should be a fantastic time! Hey - do you recall if they take only cash there or credit card??? I have read so many things about so many things...that everything starts to get mixed up!

Hey....looking to print out some magnets what page was the HS hat, and pirate Mickey hat?

 

[Disney On A Dime!]

TiggerTails57 - not sure which magnets you were looking for, but on page 30 I posted a Tink pirate, Mickey pirate, Stitch pirate and Disney Wonder - all with the "Plenty o' Rum n Parlay 4 None." Also on page 33 I posted a Pirates of the Caribbean on Mickey Ears and a Minnie Pirate with the same quote. Have fun!

D on Dime - I am sure to run into your group at the slides. I went to atlantis.com and looked at all the different rapids, etc and the first spot you should head for is all the way over towards the Royal Towers to the Clock Tower (not the mayan temple) The tower is where all the brand new slides are. I did the mayan temple and slides on the back but the water coasters are the most recent and a MUST DO!
I just came home from picking up some more stencils for my door magnets which will include our logo - photos of my dog, Jack Sparrow and Tia Dalma!

Phew, back from my business trip with a suitcase of dirty laundry, can't believe I'll be heading out for our awesome cruise etc in less than a week!

If it would be helpful, I can PM my cabin number to people, I just really don't want it out in a public place on the net so would be having to trust people not to repeat it in the thread or put it on the online spreadsheet. Would this be helpful?

Today I'm having a post-travel spa day in bed - lots of juice, facemasks, etc...sometimes we all need one

Welcome to our new cruisers!! Laurie, we have no kids with us either, this is our first cruise but I hear good things about the adult areas being kept child free for when you need sans-kids time. I like having kids around but understand what you mean

 

[truck1]

Thanks truck1 for the restaurant information...now all I have to do is figure out which one to go to?



Only 1 week until "Plenty o' Rum n Parlay 4 None!"

Yep. Decisions decisions decisions. At least its a fun one.

 

[Disney On A Dime!]

Hi Carys! Good to hear from you! As you can tell...everyone is getting excited! If you would like...go ahead and PM me with your cabin number...I can add it to the list that I will bring to the DISmeets and also have it on-hand in case someone would like it early. I will make sure not to publish it on the boards...



Anne Marie...you got me thinking about our Atlantis stuff...so we pulled out some maps of Atlantis...we need help! First...am I right to think that we will be entering the resort near the casino and coral towers (from the Comfort Suites)? Second...are the new rides at the Power Tower? From the map...they look like they are behind the Mayan Temple...but the map could be distorted??? Third...here's our plan in order...Power Tower...Mayan Temple...Lazy River Area...Lagoon Pool Area...if time remains...we will do the Dig...aquarium stuff...beach... Am I on the right track???


You all have a great start to this week...it's going to be busy!!! Crystal

That would be great if you would PM your cabin number. I have all my FE gifts packed and ready to go. Now I just have to do and finish packing!

I think DH and I are going to eat at Grills to watch the Magic leave port on Saturday night.

Everyone take care and safe travels to Orlando. We leave Thursday morning for the long drive.

I'm SO EXCITED I CAN'T SLEEP and it's only Sunday!!!! lol

D on Dime - every tour I took at Atlantis we did come it near the Comfort Suites. I think I have the same game plan as you - hit the slides, work my way down to the lazy river and if time go through the dig again for photos. I checked and Atlantis only takes credit cards for everything, so make sure you have one handy for a locker, etc.

I started making my magnets - going to check with a graphic artist in work to help me - I figure if they can do composite sketches of criminals, they might really be able to help me with my door magnets, lol. Got nice photos of my dog Jack dressed in his pirate hat and bandana

Started going through my clothes and bathing suits, with work this summer I haven't had a chance to go swimming at all -
Trying to think of all the wierd things I want to make sure I pack - especially for Atlantis,make sure you have swimshoes - the concrete gets VERY hot -

CaryS,

Yes - please PM me your stateroom number. My wife is labeling everything with stateroom numbers to make it easier when delivering. Thanks so much, and I won't post your stateroom number or give it to anyone else. I definitely understand your concern with that!. Have a nice night!

Thanks!!

 

[Disney On A Dime!]

Started packing!!! We are excited too!!! We leave on Friday morning to head to Cocoa Beach...I think that we are going to eat at either Grills or Fishlips on Saturday night...both of those places get great reviews!


Looking forward to seeing everyone at 3PM on Sunday! We can't wait for "Plenty o' Rum n Parlay 4 None!"


Have a great week! Crystal

 

[TiggerTails57]

Can't wait to meet all of you on Sunday, August 30th at 3:00 pm in the Promenade Lounge

Take care.

 

[BDJazz]

[Carys]

Wicked, 3 sleeps until I start my series of flights. I finished organising my fish extender gifts, I'm going to have to revisit my packing list because I'm pretty sure my suitcase will be overweight at this rate Although of course I will lose the FE weight as a nice souvineer buffer after the cruise.

Can't wait to see everyone 3pm in the Promenade Lounge!

Was working on my magnets today, with my shift work it has been hard to get anything done - got great pictures of my dogs, Jack Sparrow and Tia Dalma for my door and scheduled a seaweed treatment for our day at sea to treat myself! I am SO looking forward to this vacation. I keep looking at the video on the Atlantis site at all the water slides and i can't wait!
Glad to hear everyone at Disney is having a great time. I am a Disney Vacation Club member and Beach ClubVillas are my favorite, they have the best pool! Many a time i didn't even go on any attractions at the park, just stay at the pool and go over to Epcot for a fine Dinner at Le Cellier in Canada. Their cheese soup is out of this world!
Well, looking forward to meeting everyone one Sunday - enjoy your day, be safe and have a magical day!
