That's why I just LOVE fastpasses!! We absolutely LIVE for those! Your wife will be so surprised with those roses...will you have the Wall-E toy left there to surprise your son too? That would be so cute!

Nope, I am bringing the toy home so we can talk about the movie we plan to see.

We will work the fastpasses the best way we can, but we haven't planned any game plan yet. I generally have WDW down to a science, so I better get a DLR plan going.

Cool...we can't wait to see that movie (I think me more than the rest, but they're looking forward to it too ) I think I'm just planning on bringing my patience I tend to get extremely irritable if it's crowded AND hot!

Whhoooo Hoooooo

We went cheap (so to speak) and got a deluxe inside stateroom at a good price from dreams unlimited travel whose ad we saw on DIS boards. I was surprised that the final quote was SEVERAL hundred dollars less than booking with disney directly. We will be on deck 7.

I just checked Dreams Unlimited Travel and they are several hundred dollars less. I wish that I went through them instead of booking through our travel agent. Next time, we will be booking through them.

So, I just got off YouTube, and was scoping out my Pirate Ship excursion in Puerto Vallarta....I'M SOOO EXCITED NOW!!! It looks so fun, and I just know my kids are going to totally dig it Plus, they have these cool prizes you can win (Pirate t-shirts, bandannas, etc) and it just so happens that it's the same day as Pirate Night on the ship!!! Yay!

That sounds sooooo perfect!! I am a little freeking out, because I am having second thoughts about my tequilla tour in Maz. It is 104 here in east San Diego, and my tour is about 7 hours. I do not want to be scorching in the hot sun. I don't know what to do. I would be happy with any advice from anyone???? Disney called me today to make sure all my Romance Package stuff was all set. They confirmed my Palo dinner, and some other stuff. I was sooooo excited!!!!

Hey Missy! So tell me, is the tequila tour a walking tour or do you go to different sites via an air conditioned bus? I'm not familiar with that one....But I have heard different stories regarding the weather. So that's a drag...July's normals in Maz. are upper 80's, is that right? Well...I'm thinking they wouldn't have those types of things out in the blazing sun...if anything they'd have pop ups or something of the sort if it's outside. Is it a tour you both REALLY want to go on? If so, then I'd go and just kind of hope for the best Sorry I can't be of more help... Boy if I saw Disney on my phone calling me...I wouldn't know what to think! I'd be nervous and excited all in one! That's very cool that at least they check on things and make sure everything's the way you want it!!

The weather forcasts for CSL, MATZ & PV on Tue, Wed & Thur (7/1, 2 & 3) are low 90's but the "RealFeel" temperatures are climbing into the low 100's. The early forcasts also show some humidity and/or thunderstorms moving into the area of PV on Thursday. Hope they hold off! I can handle heat, but I can't handle humidity. We sat on the Coral Princess on Lake Gatun last Thanksgiving and decided not to go on our excursion on smaller boats out to the Pacific Ocean - TOO HUMID!

Will a cruiseline typically cancel excursions if thunderstorms are forecasted? I'm curious since mine is on a Pirate Ship and sailing most of the time. We get off for two hours and spend some time at a beach, but if the seas are rough, would Disney make that call or the company who runs the excursion?

 

[Sophia37]

Do you guys know how LATE I can cancel ? I was thinking that if we are blazing in Cabo, we will just let them no that night that we are staying on the ship the next day

I looked that up in the passporter, and it said excursions can be cancelled up to 2 days before you set sail, then after that it's non-refundable. I wonder if they make exceptions due to the weather...hot or rainy?

We have been trying to find out some reviews, but we can't find any. I just don't want to be foolish, and miss out on something great. I had to sit through James' graduation for 1 and a half hours....I thought I was going to die...... If you told me that I was going to walk around a shop, or watch someone make a shoe.....I would have cried I think the excursion is like $70 or something....I can buy a lot of drinks for $140 HELP!!!!

Rick and I need to talk about this some more..... If you hear anything about this....please let me know

I'm sure you've done this, but I thought I'd throw it out there. I googled my excursion and went to an opinion type website to get reviews from people who've actually done it. If you haven't yet tried, at least you'd get some feedback from people who've been there That way you'd know if it was worth it

 

[Sophia37]

We were just looking at stuff on line.... What else can you do in Maz? By yourself? Is there a nice beach that is walking distance away? I need to start looking on the boards, and see what other people have done I know that I want to buy the boys some really cool belts.

Check out Mazatlan Franks thread....he's given a TON of info to everyone here on the DIS. ::cop:

M-I-C!!!!!! I am soooo excited!!!!! I cannot believe that we are going to be on that ship in 10 days!!! It is already night, so lets say 9 days!!!! I think we are going to change our excursion. My mom said that we are going to want to go on one. I will check it all out

 

[Sophia37]

Im out guys....We are going to go to Ocean Beach tonight for dinner, and an old friend is playing with his band at a local bar.... Have a great night, and thanks for helping me sort things out. You guys help more than you know It is great having this Dis Board!!!
These are all the things that I will be doing tonight. Unless Rick want to drink, then I will pass. If you drive in my home, you don't get to have even 1 drink.......Im cool being the driver. Maybe we will play paper, rock, scissors
