2nd... so the Rasul Steam Bath - $83.00 is this a couple price or per person... you know Im just wondering for the sake of looking up prices that are on the dis board..figure I would ask so someone else doesnt have too. .YA thats it LMAO
I can't confirm that, because we (CC members/not in a suite) have already made PALO reservations for us and my wifes parents (first timers). I saw their names during the reservation process. However my wifes parents window for excursions & spa wasn't open yet. But PALO was ...

Just in case: Please do not post why I was able to book before the 90 days mark. I don't want my wife to read this => Surprise! I already told her not to make any reasearch why we have PALO already ...
DH has many many disney ties too.. The only problem is he is left handed and can not tie them..He normally makes his Grandfather tie them for him..
)Looks like DS will be both left and right handed.OOOH...now there's a fun idea! I hadn't thought of that...but that could be very cool!
We were already talking to Hadley and Dave when they were here a couple weeks ago about the plan. Once NY makes it legit, we're going to run right to city hall and have it done to become legal and all that in a civil service/ceremony....but we'll have the real deal event at WDW. (Right now Disney won't do "weddings" for same-sex couples but they will do commitment ceremonies and they offer vow renewals for people who are already legally married....so we plan to do the legal deal here, but have our public ceremony/celebration there).
We were originally going to do the ceremony on the Magic or at Castaway...but I don't think many of our friends/family would be able to afford that trip....so instead we'll do it at WDW (and then people have the option to even stay on the cheap off property or all rent a timeshare home together or whatever) so people can attend....and then take a honeymoon DCL cruise after but invite all our friends, relatives and guests to join us for the cruise, too....if they want!
Of course I probably need to fill in Jason on all these elaborate plans so he's aware!
I'm a bit like Galinda in Wicked, huh?:
Galinda: Fiyero and I are going to be married!
Elphaba: He's asked you already?!
Galinda: Oh he doesn't know yet!
What in the world am -I- doing with the world's most princessy princess????)
)
So we decided that we'd just go ahead and buy them....and who knows now that we own them maybe it'll shift the karma in our state in the right direction and NY will decide to legally recognize our relationship and then we'll already have our outfits for a wedding (FINALLY!!!)!!
I'm just about as conservative as they come... Republican... devout Catholic... and I think it's very short-sighted to withhold legal marriage from same-sex couples. With the way the world is today, one would think we would be bending over backwards to *support* loving commitment, no? We might be in the minority, but dh isnt even bringing his suit this time around. A dress shirt and tie will be about it. Ds son has a shirt/tie too.
I am still trying to come up with what we are wearing for our family theme picture. Last year we did the dress clothes and Steelers, the Steelers one looked 10x better.
Maybe Penguins hockey?

The remaining 50% of time slots will be available for booking on a first come-first serve basis upon boarding the ship.
And according to what Brandie posted yest. tea has one spot, brunch four, and dinner slots are available every evening. So tea=impossible, brunch=difficult, dinner=easy.
According to DCL (the horse's mouth), NO.
The lady we spoke withsaid they USED to do it that way and no longer do.
She said the current process is as follows: DCL will release 50% of all available reservation times/slots at the first booking window, 105 days prior to sail date (Concierge Cat 1,2,&3 and REAS). This accounts for ALL of the booking slots that will be obtainable ONLINE. They are not replenished at 90 and 75 days, and once gone nothing further wil be available prior to sail date unless there is a cancellation of a previously online-booked slot.
If you follow the main board you will see frequent posts of cruisers griping about no Palo available when they get to their booking window.
FWIW, we have had to do the "ressie scramble" onboard both of our prior cruises. It took about 1/2 hour (we were in line when they opened) and we did get what we wanted (brunch & dinner) on the day/nights we wanted but not at the time we wanted. So not all is lost if you have to try onboard....just the planning isn't as easy!
