[orlandothebeagle]

The 5th is Wednesday night. Did I mistake which night was under discussion? PLEASE join us - with 4 "wicked women", what's one more?

Doh, so it is, free beer on the tuseday for the ladies.

Tuesdays:
“Ladies 80’s Night”
Ladies Drink Free draft beer, house wine and well brands from
10 pm – 1 am. We do $2 drafts for the guys!
DJ Joe Redmon spinning all the 80's and current stuff!

No I have not heard, what is going on with Steinbrener? I am so thirlled they fixed the dinning system at WDW. Now I have cancelled my Boma ADR and have exactly what I was looking for, 'Ohana on 1/5/11 at 8:45. Very happy about that. As for gifts. In 08 we got a nice ceramic thing at the end of the cruise. We also got a special Ducky litho. Both were one per stateroom.

I was so excited getting that bit of ceramic, though my husband just thinks it is a piece of cheap junk!!! The kind of thing you can get at tacky seaside souvenir shops over here. I did like the litho though and hope we get another one this time. Not that the last one has been framed yet.

Do you buy the refillable beer mug?

I have never in 6 cruises gotten one. I am more of a mixed drink guy. Not that I don't like beer, but I just like Bacardi more.

I might be the drink station night mare- I use the back of my hand to fill my cup since at least half the time the cup smashes when hitting the fill lever. I do this everywhere- figuring the back of my hand is probably more germ free than other peoples mug/glasses being refilled. (even though I almost always use the lid and a straw in refillable mugs)

Congratulations to those of you that have the dinner plans of choice for the night before. We're planning on playing it by ear- some thoughts would be either Earls at DTD depending on when we get there and the weather or the Food Court at POFQ again depending on weather and the time we actually arrive- since United has changed our flights in already. (at least I managed to talk my way back onto a direct flight from Chicago to Orlando instead of an extra stop in DC)

Well I think you will be very happy to read this. While I can't speak for the Wonder as I have not sailed on her since the 11 night Southern cruise, the magic did not have the little push leavers to dispense the soda. It was a touch button right underneath the logo for what you are drinking.

Good Morning, Panama Cruisers!

 

[aan1701]

Good morning. I just noticed that it is almost time for part 3

 

[JenKatt]

Good morning! Glad to wake up in my own bed as I had a terrible dream last night. I dreamed that as were were preparing for our first night's dinner, we couldn't find DD. Finally found her and I realized that I had forgotten to pack any clothes for me. I told DH that we must call my dad, tell him what I want from my closet, and have him send pronto to Aruba. In the meantime, DH calls my dad, and they are just chatting about nothing for at least half an hour while I'm trying to stress to him that this call is costing us a fortune. Then, I look our our dining tickets and we are to be in Animators at 5:25 for the show night and it was now 5:28. Not only was I not going to be dressed appropriately, I was going to be late. Then, I woke up, so relieved. It was such a real dream.

Anyway, as far as diner plans on the night of the 5th. We are staying at BLT so we plan to head over to the Poly, grab something from the Quick Service place (that pork sandwich is so yummy!), head to the beach and watch Wishes. We did that on our Dec 09 trip and it was fun and relaxing. Then in the morning, I'm going to head back to the Poly and eat some Tonga Toast. I have been wanting to try it for the past several trips and just never made it over there. Sounds like I should be staying at the Poly but I can't justify the price of there if I can stay at BLT on points and just hitch a ride on the monorail. DS loves the monorail anyway

It is so funny about those dream/nightmares. Mine area always so real too - I wake up all wound up in a panic and then can't get back to sleep. And mine generally involve something of MINE that I forgot - DH never packs for himself, he just shows up, when I say, where I say, wearing what I laid out for him. While that does make more work for me, he seems ok with it and since he is color blind - at least he matches .

Loving all the plans for January 5th. It is so much fun to log in and see what everyone is doing and planning. Since our December cruise is still up in the air (meaning we may still go) I may or may not need that CG ressie I made - just need to remember to cancel it if things turn out and we go, don't what to have to pay that fee, that is for sure.

Tonga Toast is the best!!!! We finally tried it on our last trip and I honestly don't know what we've been waiting for all these years. We ended up there one more time that trip and we've got it booked for next month as well. If I could figure out how to make it at home...

Well, I think I was at least wearing what I had worn when I boarded (jean shorts, tshirt, flip flops). I don't remember undressing But have had those types of nightmares before when I was in school!

Tonga Toast - I have never had it but somehow envisioned it was stuffed French Toast but I found a recipe online and I guess it is pretty far from that - no eggs involved but they are deep-fried.

Took me forever to get back to sleep too! I started wondering if I should go ahead, get the suitcase out, and start packing!

Have you ever tried the Corn-flake crusted French Toast from Wolfgang Puck Express? Oh my, that was delicious! If I didn't have my taste buds set on trying Tonga Toast, I would definitely be heading to WPE for breakfast.

A good tip is to mix the family's clothing between cases, and then if one case is lost/delayed at least you all have some clothes. Imagine losing a bag containing all of your clothes.

Thats a horrible dream, Im always having dreams being late for flights.
Ive only ever been late for 2 flights in my life and both times I was travelling with the same idiot for want for a better word!

Did that for the first time for our cruise in Dec. It made unpacking a little bit more of a pain but it was so well worth it knowing that if something did happen to one piece of luggage we would all be w/o a few instead of one of us being w/o a lot. As heavy as I pack, one piece of luggage with just one of our belongings could still go missing and there would be another filled with that same person's belongings.
