February 25th Magic Cruise Board

Hi- Does anyone out there know what mornings the character breakfast fall on or does it vary? Is there a way to request a dining room rotation? And are there any girls in the same age range out there interested in "meeting" my 11 year old twins ahead of time via email?
Thanks in advance,

HI imadjen....

Wilmington knows more about the character breakfast than i do, but yes you can find out what day....I am almost certain it would only be a sea day!

Call DCL to request your rotation.

If there is enough kids you could always start a kids only thread i have seen this done before.

I could be wrong, but I think the character breakfast works like this: You are assigned a breakfast on your first sea day AFTER your Animator's Palate dinner. My specifics could be wrong, but it's something tricky like that. So as an example, my dining rotation is LAPLAPL so my character breakfast *should* be scheduled for Monday (because Sunday night we are in Animator's Palate and Monday we are at sea.)

If you go to the first page of the Cruise Forum, there is a FAQ "sticky" near the top of the thread list. In that thread is a layout of the three possible dining rotations on an Eastern itinerary and options for different special events. There is always the "subject to change" disclaimer, but in keeping up with recent trip reports I have found that they are consistent with the FAQ. I hope this helps!

NINETY DAYS, PEOPLE!!!

Who is waiting for the clock to strike midnight so they can check in and make reservations?
I'll tell you who: THIS CHICK. ------->.

 

[threewilmingtonwalls]

Just dizzi and me, then?

Well, at least we got our Palo booked!

 

[tjdismom]

DH was up at the wee hours trying to check-in...unfortunately there were technical issues and gave up until this morning! Darn computer gremlins!

Regardless, we have our Palo ressies! AND my spa day is booked

Under 90 days and so much to do!

 

[imadjen]

Thanks very much for the dining info. I somehow missed this the last time around. Just booked Palo and Turtle Cove excursion . Checked in and got early boarding time. This thread is so quiet; maybe the boat is only half full?? Thanks again

You're welcome! Glad you were able to book your extras.

UGH! We had lots of trouble, too! I finally gave up on online check-in after I got the Palo reservations I wanted, but luckily dizzi and I are linked and she was able to do it for me. Why are the Disney websites such a cluster?

 

[threewilmingtonwalls]

Does anyone have the FE list yet? I haven't gotten a copy and would really like to start working on gifts!

 

[emmysdidi]

I had issues last night, too! We finally got checked in!

I think I really like the Disney's Devils, Sailing to the Saints! Because, we are, devils!!!

I am sorry I have been gone..I will finish up the FE today after my annual...
"Didi VS. Christmas Lights BATTLE"
Christmas Lights-5
Didi-1

Is anyone thinking about Blackbeard's Castle?

Talk to you soon!

 

[imadjen]

For the FE exchange, we have 2 adjacent rooms, 2643 and 2645 (back of the bus) The FE will be on one of those. Approximately how many families do we have so far? Thanks for doing this!!

 

[dizzi]

As Wilmington said we were able to ge ur Palo's etc.....but to check in, i think we had to wait for the West Coast time.........

so i set my alarm for 2:57 and was able to check in online.

YEAH!!!!

We got the earliest check in time as well!!!

11-11:30

 

[dizzi]

We have sooooooo much to do.

We just got our rooms for the 3 nights before the cruise.

YIPEEEEE

WILDERNESS LODGE!!!!

This calls for some dancing shampoo shower cap smileys!

Tim says it's funny that I would even consider staying at a place called "Wilderness Lodge" because it sounds too much like the possibility (read: "threat") of camping. Ha!

Yeah...

This? Is lame. Why can't they just let the West Coasters check in at 9 p.m. their time?

Oh well, thankfully I have a super awesome mini travel-agent who is also a good sport and doesn't mind helping out a pal. Thanks!!!

LAME..yes it was...

And thanks....IT was a pretty funny half hour for the first 15 minutes i was so out of it thankfully i did mine first, but then i started to wake up....BUT THE WHOLE time i was smacking Mike asking him to stop snoring or ROLL OVER!!

Kelli and I did Rainforest a few times back in January - it was FABULOUS! I bought a length of cruise pass for $99 on embarkation day. I can't remember how much individual days are, but I will probably just pay as I go this time. I don't think I used it enough to break even.

I did the elliptical a couple of times, but kept wishing I had someone with whom to walk the outside track...I'd much rather be outside!

Then, of course, there was the Castaway Cay 5k, where we kept stopping to take pictures of everything and ended up finishing waaaaayyyyy in the back! Did you say you were thinking of doing it this time? I'm out for that, but I will jog the track and/or hit the gym with you. I will probably try to do a spin class on sea days, just for fun. Or maybe I will just go to a bunch of wine and liquor tastings, eat at Palo 83 times, and wonder why my clothes are tight when I get home...

 

[dizzi]

i would like to do the run on CC but it seemsike it would take up to much time.

i dunno
