Just stepped off 2/28 Magic

I might add that plutospup was on the panel for "Who Wants to be a Mouseketeer" and they had a perfect record! It was fun to watch.

We were in 7608 (got an upgrade from a category 9 to a 5). Very quiet, except for the telephone in the adjoining room ringing constantly. Good grief, hang up, there aren't there!

Very impressed by the hard working crew members. After seeing them at breakfast and at the midnight dessert buffet, I wonder when some of them get to sleep!

A perfect record at what? Being wrong?

I recall one "100% sure" answer regarding Pooh when the real correct answer Goofy. hmmm?

Indeed, that show was fun to watch. The best was the little kid that won the Mickey doll. That was commercial material there.

I think the poster must mean the free drinks that are brought around in the atrium during the Captain's Gala night which is usually before semi-formal night.

Staff walks around the atrium with premade mai-tais, cosmos and fruit punches....they are complimentary but not very potent!!!

It was definitely on formal night; sorry if I implied otherwise. I think they had some free ones on semi-formal night as well.

Agreed on the pontency. The drinks seemed watered down. I had 4 or 5 of 'em and it didn't affect me much.

Just curious, when did you receive your upgrade, with your docs, or when you boarded? When we went my sil was upgraded from 11 to 9 when she received her docs, and I was hoping that meant I might be able to ugrade from my 11 when I got on board. No such luck.

We were on the 2/28 also. Had a room on deck 6, very quiet.

Went to Palo's for brunch, high tea, and dinner. Will only do brunch next time as felt that was the best deal--such a selection of food for that meal.

Agree that people that weren't dressed up on formal and semi-formal night looked out of place. You didn't have to go all out with black tie==suits, sports coats and cocktail dresses or fancy church clothes work fine. They did hand out free drinks, not very potent, but good.

The rainforest in the spa was great. Only wish it was open earlier and later.

We had great meals each evening in the restaurants.

I remember that brunch! You and your spouse sat next to us. I agree the brunch was the best of the three. They served one of my favorites there-Stone Crabs. Did not expect that and was pleasantly surprised. It was great.
As I remember, 3 Things was also there.

smchan...you must have seen the early show of Who Wants to be a Mouseketeer! The later show on which I was a panelist was 100% correct (although we weren't sure about 1 or 2). It was a lot of fun. Between the "WooHoo's! and doing the "Wave" we all had a blast! In addition to receiving the special "panelist" pin, I got to shake hands with Capt. Mickey!

You're right - my bad! The panel on the early show blew it completely.

A little kid, maybe 4 years old, won the stuffed Mickey. He went up on stage and was just thrilled to meet Cpt Mickey. It looked just like one of the Disney World commercials. Very sweet! I was disappointed I didn't have my camera with me.

You're right. We were there and so were 3things. That brunch was great--stone crabs were a real surprise and treat!
