From WDW To DL With Love - January 06, 2011

We have our spreadsheet all set up for Secret Mickey (Thanks LindaBabe! )

I know it's a long way away until the cruise but wanted to let you know you can start signing up. Here's how it will work. You can PM me your email address and I will send you the questionaire. I need to send you a questionaire for each person participating. Please notify me in your PM how many questionaires you need and you will get a separate email for each.
We will have an Adult Secret Mickey as well as a Youth Secret Mickey

I think we're going to participate in the Secret Mickey this time. The kids liked the idea when I told them about it. But then anything "Mickey" or "Princess" gets them excited these days.

Anyone have a clue as to what the dining rotations will be in reference to the themed nights/ formal nights?
Trying to remember back to 05 and the nights. I know we had 2 formal, 2 semiformal, a tropical, and a pirate night... anything else?

For the EBPC in 2008 we had the following dining rotation:
Embarkation - Parrot Cay (Let the Magic Begin menu)
At Sea - Lumiere's - Formal Night (Golden Mickeys menu)
Cabo - Animator's Palate (Animator's Palate menu)
Puerto Vallarta - Parrot Cay (Taste of California Menu)
At Sea - Lumiere's (Lumiere's menu)
Acapulco - Animator's Palate - Mexican Night (Mexican Riviera menu)
At Sea - Parrot Cay (Parrot Cay menu)
At Sea - Lumiere's - Semi-Formal Night (Prince and Princess Dinner menu)
Panama Canal - Animator's Palate (West Meets East menu)
Cartegena - Parrot Cay - Tropical Night (Taste of Caribbean menu)
At Sea - Lumiere's (Master Chef's menu)
Aruba - Animator's Palate - Mickey Mouse Club (Around the World menu)
At Sea - Parrot Cay - Pirate Night (Pirate menu)
At Sea - Lumiere's - Formal Night (Captain's Gala menu)
Castaway Cay - Animator's Palate (Till We Meet Again menu)

We are from Arizona as well. Just north of Tucson though!!

I used to live in Tucson. After graduating from the UofA (Go Wildcats!) I found a job with a small software company. Stayed a total of 9 years between school and work before coming home to Texas. I was in the process of figuring out how to get the company to let me relocate when I got laid off so it all worked out for the best.

Same here about Puerta Vallarta, we will stay on the ship that day. Now, we would love to do the river rafting in CR..

We didn't get off the ship in P.V. until the kids had been deposited in Flounders after dinner. It was a rainy day and many, including our tablemates, did not have a good experience there. DH and I basically checked out the Walmart and got back on the ship.

I had a sea lion encounter booked for PV on my repo. But I ended up staying on the ship as I felt like I was getting a cold and really didn't want to miss the next day's events in Cabo with fellow DISers. It actually ended up being a great day...spending most of it on the comfy chair/footstool outside of Cove Cafe with my book, napping and an occasional beverage delivered by the barista! Now THAT's the way to 'rest up'!

I totally agree!

Shopped at that Walmart. We stayed a week in PV and the resort was nice but we just didn't care for the place. I will be happy reading a book and taking pictures and just having another lazy day...

I was going to get off in PV until I was on deck 4 and the first thing I saw when I looked right was the Wal Mart. That made me stay on the ship in PV.

I was going to crazy trying to keep my mouth shut! So my Son made a brochure and we took her (my Mom 77) to the Queen Mary for lunch. He gave her the brochure and she was reading it and said it was real neat. She is legally blind, so that is when we had to fill in her in that the trips were real and she was going with us! We think she thought it was a brochure for the Queen Mary!!! We are doing the PC and doing an Alaska cruise at the end of August. So she got her magnify glass from her purse and started reading it. It was hard for her to grasp. So then we went over to Downtown Disneyland to the movies. I told her about you all! I'm going to show her the website tomorrow. Thanks for being here, so I can be excited with those who understand!

Good Morning, Everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving, Canadian Cruisers!

I was over in Massachusetts having a little 'girls weekend' and attending a scrapbook crop. It was so much fun! Our tongues wagged at both ends, I can tell you Plus, I got 11 pages done, my page kits packed up for the St Croix cruise swap, and ate far too much delicious food.

It was 32F when I left there this morning, but the sun was out and the trees glowed with brilliant color . . . until I pitched over the hill to drop into the Hudson Valley where it was overcast, grey and dull. Welcome home :?

We have friends in Puerta Vallarta, so I suppose we'll be doing a meet up for lunch and catching up. That's all.

Happy Day, all!

Hi Chris and Carol and Chris and Janet!

We were on the Westbound, too, until we rolled the deposit over to this cruise. I'm not such a fan of long plane trips

It's a nippy 30 degrees F this morning - our first frost. At least it's not S%@W!

Unfortunatly.

It will be soon! Saturday morning the ground was white here - lasted until about 10:30 when the sun came out. Kids were bouncing off the walls that it snowed - told them to call grandma / grandpa . This morning - it's snowing again , predicting 1-3", so should be a little slow driving to work. This is a little early for us - haven't even closed the pool yet - scheduled for Tuesday.

Welcome to all .
