PIO, The Radiance of the Seas leaves Sidney Saturday April 18, 2020. We went to spend the Friday in Sidney, but hope we can see you in Melbourne earlier in the week. I guess we lose a day heading West, but we think we will leave from NYC on Monday April 13.

Too bad we are not on the Solstice!

Hmm. Looks like between you and RachelTori, I'm in for a very full April.

Let me know your dates. You will lose a day heading West. That means you get here on the 15th April. If Melbourne doesn't work out let me know. I can always get to Sydney for a long weekend.

The WDW 50th is October 2021 and if I've tracked the thread it sounds like Fall 2021 is when there might be a DIS Meet. Has it been narrowed down any further?

I think @franandaj said 1 October?

Let's aim for that.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Jill and Jenny are in too!

Fantastic!

Now we're talking about a GV at BLT! It its available.

Nice! When will you know?

Ok, October 1, 2021. Is that the official day of the opening of WDW?

I think that's the day it opened. The official opening day could have been later?

I looked up the opening day and it was Oct. 1, 1971. Now Bobbi and I can hope the new cruise ship will be sailing and we can combine WDW and a cruise.

Any favorites to make us drool?

 

[kimmar067]

...first, we had a pasta primavera and penne with vodka sauce. After that we were served 2 salads - arugula, fresh gated parm cheese, and sliced strawberries with balsamic dressing and spinach salad with crumbled bacon, goat cheese, dried cranberries, candied pecans with a house dressing. Our entrees included Australian sea bass, salmon, roasted chicken parts, filet mignon, and short ribs. There were 5 types of sauces to accompany those proteins. They were served with an array of grilled garlic veggies and mashed potatoes. Finally, we had a choice of cheesecake, chocolate mousse cake, orange cake with white chocolate icing, or coconut chocolate cake.....

 

[kimmar067]

[ACDSNY]

....are ya drooling yet?

OMG yes I'm drooling over all of them. I would have been in a food coma when it was over, but so worth it. YUM!
