DIS-Functional Wonder Peeps 7/20 & 7/24, 2008 PART II

[DisneyDmbNut]

i know..i thought of that...but I don't know if I can do that...SUEELLEN?? Can I get a table for 13?

 

[CamColt]

Brrr....very cold here...my living room is 67!!! What happened to spring???

You kill me!

Just kidding Bets. You know I just love giving you all hard time about your brutal winters. Did I mention we were in the 20s this morning? And could have a rain/snow mix overnight tonight and again Friday night? Why do I live here?

Good luck booking the dinner too! You would think they would make an exception for something like that. I imagine you are giving DCL a pretty penny for the VR, I think an exception is in order. And sorry but I had laugh at your "WOOPWOOP" alert.

 

[SueEllen]

Hmmm....let's see. I k now they won't do one table for 13, but they can do multiple tables (and seriously, I have seen them all together before along the window area.) I think it could be two tables (an 8 top and a 6 top) right next to each other.
What about reserving the room at 6pm and just being a little late

Trying to figure out all options.

[DisneyDmbNut]

i think I am just going to go with the 9pm..as TZM and Ophie pointed out to me..it is only 45 minutes later than regular dinner..and the time between will just give me more time to dance in Route 66!

 

[Soccermom-Cheri]

So have them push a bunch of tables together in the regular dining area

I thought we wer already having them do that for us. Table for 18, please! SE do I need to call concierge land services and have a talk? Or do you have more pull?

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

This is the VR Palo dinner we are talking about Cheryl!!

Rick says "forget it....Denny's won't have a problem seating us at 7pm or having a party of 14"

*grrr*

Not fair, you guys are speaking in codes!! What does VR mean? So are you guys trying to book Palos on the 3rd night of the 4 day cruise? I'm hoping to book the 6pm of the 3rd night.

MIL is going to book the Discover Atlantis. Is this worth it? MIL says she will pay for us also. Otherwise I was going to object. She has never been to Atlantis. I wanted to tell her that let's just take a taxi. I'll negotiate on the price with the driver. The difference between Disney's price and taxi driver can be applied towards my stateroom onboard credit from her in which I will use it for a spa treatment. But I kept my mouth shut.

Annie, thanks for posting the site. I can't believe I never thought to actually look there. I guess that's where you login to make Palo ressies also. I really need DH to pump more info from MIL esp the passwords!!

DDNut,

Those cookies and chocolate got snagged in Dallas as they had to pass my way. Thanks, Cheri. Thin mints and Trefolis are my favorite.

Dang it, it's close to 1am again for me. That's 5 days in a row for me. I've got to sleep now.

night all

They do a lot of "code talking" here May - stick around & you'll start figuring them out! I still have to ask for a lot of explanations and I've been talking to them for a year now!! But I'm a little ummm...slow!

VR = Vow Renewal...Betsy and her DH are renewing their vows on the 2nd day of the 3 night and so she is on and is busy making special plans! The 3rd night of the 4 night is the Pirate Party so I sorta doubt many of us will be planning for Palo on that night...TRM is planning to dress up like a "hoochie mama" that nite!

Atlantis. Hummm. Good question!! DCL offers several different levels of excursions for that. We have friends who did the "Atlantis Beach Day" one last year as the Aquaventure water park wasn't open yet when they went and they loved it - they really enjoyed the beach / lagoon area. The "Discover Atlantis" one does not include access to the beach or pools - I think it's primarily just a guided tour of the aquarium maybe? The Beach one is about $25 more pp and it is a self-guided tour of the aquarium, includes lunch and access to the beach - I would sorta think that is actually worth the extra cost. Personally, we wouldn't go just to see the aquarium tho - 'cuz that's just not our cup of tea (i.e. I think $39 pp is a lot for a tour of an aquarium!). We also would prefer to do self-guided type tours and go at our own pace and we really enjoy beach time & stuff. Our DS loves waterparks so we have booked a room at the Comfort Suites on our 3 night cruise in order to have access to the Aquaventure stuff. Here's a link to the Atlantis website so you can sort of explore what's available on the property: http://www.atlantis.com

Really wanted to take DS & go downtown today to see the cherry blossoms as today is the warmest day in sight (low-mid 60's). But they're not open all the way yet! They're calling for rain Thurs (70%) & Fri (50%) and cooler. Grrrrr....

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

Morning!

Yes May, VR is Vow Renewal..we got married last summer at the courthouse with the intention of having a "wedding" on the cruise with all our friends.

It is moving so fast now...I need time to slow down!!!

oh...and I thought I would throw this picture up for you all to see..Look at Brit-Brit..and look how much I look like my sister (although, I am thinner than her now)!

 

[RonnieJo66]

Aren't you guys parasailing at CC?! So are we the only ones in this whole bunch that snorkel?

RJ - I really DO want pics of these blossoms...that's why I am waiting to pick the right day to go down! It's buggin' me tho 'cuz I really wanted them to be open TODAY! I am glued to all of the weather forecasts...yesterday they were only calling for 30% chance of rain on Fri now it's 50%! I not only want the blossoms to be OPEN but I want SUN for my pics! Why is that so much to ask for?!

Doing a load of laundry right now...my washer started making this really odd noise over the weekend! It's freaking out the cats it's so weird! It's reminding me of a 50's B & W Sci-Fi movie - like when they try to simulate a sound for a flying saucer! I'm thinkin' this can't be a good thing!
