LOL Y'all are speedier than us Texans!! Couldn't get Palo brunch, but got everything else that I wanted. Remy Dinner, Snorkling in St. John/St.Thomas and a Couples Villa on the 2nd at sea day! YAY us!!

Kudos to all of us on the midnight vigil

You mean the beach in St. Maarten silly. And you forgot the skyride...in St. Thomas!

We also got an 11:00 boarding time. So happy about that since we will be right there in the area the night before. I'm rather groggy this morning from my broken sleep last night!!

Glad that everyone was successful in their midnight quest! I finished check in this morning. I put our arrival time as 12:30 pm, but we are doing a transfer from WDW that morning, and in the past that's put us there between 12:30 pm and 2:00 pm. Fingers crossed we're on the early side, but it doesn't matter either way.

We've made it to the 90 day mark! I'm very excited!!!

We're booked for this cruise too!!

Making final payment... starting to feel real!

Got the whole family pirate outfits!! Might have to convince hubby to dress up... but since I do the packing... well, he'll have to wear it on pirate night!

We are first time Disney cruisers (have cruised other lines) and would like to join the Fish Extenders group... if its not too late Took me a while to figure out what FE was! But it sounds like a lot of fun!

Welcome!!!

Definitely not too late to join the FE group. Please give me your names (adults and children if everyone's participating) and ages of kids and stateroom number. I will update the FE list, but be aware that the final list will be broken down into smaller groups and finalized on Saturday, March 31.

83 days til we're in WDW!

Welcome! My DH will wear a pirate t-shirt, eye patch and bandana, but that's about as far as he'll go.

I contacted my TA (Tracey at DU) to ask about the dining rotations. Here is her email response:

Here is the dining rotation I just received from DCL (so it should be accurate!!)

1-R/A/E/R/A/E/R
2-A/E/R/A/E/R/A
3-E/R/A/E/R/A/E

Formal night is day 2, Pirates in day 4 and Semi Formal is day 6

Let me know which you would like to request.

I requested #2.

Just thought some of you may want to make requests as well.

Thanks Danielle I just realized this afternoon before you posted this that I might want to rethink the night we have Remy booked Great minds think alike!!

I've just emailed Merrie @ DU about rotation. Either #2 or #3 would be great.

Could somebody please explain why which restaurant is better for which day?


Thanks

 

[munchie]

Can't seem to send a message regarding the names for the FE?

These are the reasons that we chose #2 on that list.

We want to be at Animator's Palate 2 times so that we can see both "shows", we have Palo ressies on day 5, so that automatically eliminated option #1 for us. After that, I looked at which restaurants we would be in for Formal & Semi-Formal night - I felt like E & R was a better option over R & A because A seems to have the least formal "feel" - plus my girls are going to be in princess dresses for semi-formal night, so Royal Court would be a great fit for us. Our big thing was being in Animator's 2 times.

I had booked Remy for Thursday, but that's Captain's Gala night (lobster on the menu) in the main dining rooms, so I'd rather miss formal night in the main dining rooms and go to Remy that night. It also means we have one "dress up" night instead of two.

I didn't have as much luck with my DU TA with dining rotation, said she didn't know so couldn't help. We requested a server though, and that's more important to me than rotation, so I'll keep my requests to a minimum.
