Will there be characters at breakfast time? If so, which restaurant?

That's a good question. They do have a character breakfast in Parrot Cay one morning which depends on your rotation on the 7 day cruises but I don't know if they do it on the 4 day cruise or not. We've only been on 7 day cruises on the Magic. We are looking forward to this one because it's on the Wonder which we've never been on.

I guess I should go and do some work but for some reason I just can't get motivated.

Sorry to hear the bad news Fiona

I don't recall seeing any posts from Todd today which is unusual to say the least. He did say yesterday that they were keeping him pretty busy at work. I hope everything is okay with him.

Nope haven't heard a word from him.
I guess this work thing has him hopping.

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Well since your going you have convinced me to go.
See you later.
This will give DH a chance to chat.
Bye!

I'm back. Nice little workout. I gotta make myself use the treadmill now. I hate the treadmill, would much rather use the eliptical. But, when I use the treadmill, walking is easier.

Meant this as a joke but somehow my smilie didn't show up. I think I'm having that kind of week.

Fiona

I knew it was a joke !! And a very good one too !!
I read about how your morning started. I am so sorry to hear about your job. We all taken down different paths in our lives for a reason. And hopefully your new path will be a better one! I'm gonna buy you a drink on the cruise!

Ask Tracy Question
I think this has been covered, but i wasn't sure. So we can only use one credit card on file per room? I am rooming with my cousin, so we will be paying separately- i assume we use one of our cards and work it out amongst ourselves post cruise, right?

Cash/Tips- i know we need cash for any room service tips. Can we use cash or disney dollars in the stores/shops on the ship or at Castaway Cay or do they only accept the KTTW card? I assume everyone loves cash.

I like to be sure we tip appropriately for our waitstaff at the end- what is the typical gratuity for this for good service? It's hard to calculate since you don't have pricing on the menu etc. I like to tip well since I know how hard it is to be in waitstaff! This tip is also left on the KTTW card (only option?), right?

thanks Tracy

Thanks. I know it will work out.

They actually did it at 5pm on Monday. They told me to take Tuesday off but unfortunately I had an appointment with a client on Tuesday morning so had to come in yesterday. The good thing is that I do have an office so I've just shut the door -- my secretary is starting to wonder though since I've never before shut the door except when I'm eating lunch in my office.

You can use one credit card per person. Not per room. You will want to make sure when you charge things and they don't ask for your card (just ask your room number) that it gets charged for the right person.

You cannot use cash or Disney Dollars anywhere on the ship or island except at Guest Services to pay your account.

The recommended amount for tipping for a 4 night cruise is $48 per person and this includes your server, head server, assistant server and stateroom host. The tip can be charged to your KTTW card, paid in cash or prepaid up until 3 days prior to the cruise.

Can we put the Disney Dollars on their cards?? Or should we just use those in WDW?
