Happy New Year Everyone!
Don't the let post time fool ya - we were up past midnight and I can't sleep. I'm sure I'll be napping later.
Well, we finally made it to January. Unbelievable. This morning while leisurely laying in bed (trying to get back to sleep) I hit a panic mode thinking of ALL those things to do before the cruise that I'd have plenty of time to do. I had purchased some snorkel stuff for DSs and I had planned on sending it down to Shirley for her to put in the baskets but I've got to get that out soon or the baskets will be cruising without any gear.
As for us - we're doing early dining.
Yes we're also doing the wine tasting (hopefully on Sunday).
I'd like to do the rainforest, maybe the 3 day pass.
We are going to do the wine package, but we haven't decided if we're doing the basic or premier.
On Tuesday I pulled up the Eastern navigators from barb & tony's site and there's some really good stuff on there. My DH and I went through them to see what events would be on what days in case they were "don't misses" for us. We listed them and now we have a reference. Even though the schedule might change, it helped me see some of the great stuff all in one week vice waiting for the daily sheet.
Wine tasting seems to be in the afternoons of sea days.
Each day there is 2 in a series of "The Art of Entertaining" that look quite interesting. They include topics like - appetizers, entrees, napkin/towel folding, plate decorating, etc. From what I've read elsewhere, they do a "cooking demo" and then you taste test. That even sparked my DH interest.
Also if you see what shows are what nights it might help with Palo ressies. I think we're going to shoot for Palo on Wed and brunch some other day.
Remember some days they do a behind-the-scenes tour.
There is also a Beer Tasting listed for one afternoon. Not sure if that was a one time deal or what.
Oh and one other note - don't forget to sign up with guest services any morning to do the Bridge Tour. Hopefully security won't be too tight and they will still be doing them. I remember after 9-11 they had stopped them.
Someone had asked about a DISmeet - it is still Sunday afternoon, right? Place? We wanted to do a wine tasting but that looks like it is at 1:00 and if I remember our meet was at 3 or 3:30 right?
Well, here is to a wonderful New Year filled with peace and happiness. (I'm tipping my coffee cup to y'all....it's funny now the kids keep toasting everytime they raise their glasses.)
My DS just came in the room, looked at the screen and yelled "M&Ms" so I told him I'd put some in my message. By the way, yes my son is up at 7:45 and he was up past midnight. Does this family never sleep!!!!! I guess he will when he is a teenager. Hey Kevin - will Connor be able to hang with this wild child!
). I would rather have a soda. We are considering purchasing a soda/water package that we saw somewhere I think we saw it on the Navagator for a low price.
Is that how you got to do your Palo reservations? 
That's going to be her souvenir money. We asked her what she wanted to buy with the money and she said "another bank!" That's my girl.
