**Mickey's Merry Cruisers** 12/13/09 4 night Wonder

[Carol G]

Hi Kathryn, I believe you have to sign up for Martini tasting as there's a certain limit and also a charge involved. If many people are interested in meeting at that time it would be hard for everyone to do so.

Michelle, I'm sure there are several more at late seating. You might want to try looking at previous posts or hopefully everyone will post what seating they have and make it easier for everyone.

We're all anxious to meet up and see who's dining with whom.

C'mon folks, we're only 20 days away and getting nowhere fast regarding responses. There's only a few of us posting what's going on? ? ? ? ?

Hello, anyone else here? ? ? ARGH!!!!!

Kathryn,
I am all about that martini tasting! I was just reading some posts about it last night and told DH that I am already there!!! So, even if the group doesn't meet at the tasting, I could possibly see you (and anyone else that is able to go) there. I am planning on signing up for that the minute my foot hits that boat! DH is not thrilled about going so I may be there totally solo. I had heard that there is a wine tasting too. So many choices, so little time....

We are on the early seating but not sure we will be going to the dining room at all for dinners this cruise - we haven't decided yet.

This cruise is an R & R cruise so we are going to be sticking to the ship and doing the shipboard activities. If they have the galley tour will probably go on that the kitchens on the ship are amazing. Last year when we went on the cruise before Christmas they had several family Christmas activities so going to try and do those.

Anyone else going to run the 5k at Castaway? Definitely doing that one.

Packing? Way too soon for that. This weekend after Thanksgiving we have to get the camper ready for the post cruise Ft. Wilderness weekend then I'll think about packing.

Looking forward to the cruise and meeting everyone at the DIS meet.

other than the tree lighting the only Christmas activity is the gingerbread house one.

last year the navigator says to go guest services on embark day to get a ticket because space is limited.

the last night atrium activity is called "til we meet again" and it is usually around 10pm.

the martini tasting is a lot of fun.

all the christmas decorations are up on the ship, the gingerbread house was close to being completed when we got off the ship on sunday. the castaway sandman were not on the island yet, but the some of the decorations were up.

if there are not too many of us, on monday or tuesday night, the group could go to casual dining in Beach Blanket.

this is our annual December cruise. only 19 more days

except for naked boy who swears he is still only wearing a santa hat and a swimsuit now...we are PACKED..hey I'm excited..leave a girl alone...

**Did get some news I wasn't too excited about though...we are staying at POR with Pop Warner the few days before the cruise..now I'm not one to whine about cheerleaders, because I have two myself, but..c'mon...

 

[PJB71]

Oh bless him Becky, at least he's ready for the "Meetup" Party!!!!

Anyway, you shouldn't complain, that leaves more room in the suitcase for your "essentials"!!!

Hi Tony

As you are the expert - (were have you been all along!!, you would of made our lives alot easier!!!)

Could you give us a rough idea how much the Martini, Wine tasting, and Beer tasting is,(hey there seems to be a pattern to this!!!) and how many people are aloud into these.

Thank you for all your help and advise.

all of the tastings require you to pre book at guest services. all the navigator says is nominal fee. ($15 in Apr 09)

based on all the tastings we have done in the past. I would guess the limit would top out at around 40.

the navigator from our 11/19 3 night. had on Nassau day
the beer in Diversions at 2pm
the wine in Palo at 3pm
the martini in the 2nd floor of the new Cove at 5pm

looking at the 8/30 navigators, Nassau had Beer (2:15) and Martini (5:15). Sea Day had all three. At about the same times as the 11/19 cruise. 2:15, 3, and 5:15


I saw a post on packing, who else has gotten up at 8am, packed and then drove to the port? Talk about waiting to the last minute.

[atigeg]

no pre book on the tastings

first come first served at guest services.

the tickets have to be charged to each stateroom, so they won't let one person run up charges on another guests account.

30 for wine tasting is nothing compared to the transatlantic/panama
when the wine guy from Disney's Grand California did special wine tastings
and those filled Animators Palate. They setup a camera and used the screens for the presentation.

i only have 2 cabin # showing on my list florida girl's and tde1969's are we still doing the fe

 

[PJB71]

Hi Debra

I have got all of the cabin numbers for the FE group, bar one that im still waiting for.

Rather than giving them to everyone now, as people could possibly change there rooms at port, or forget to bring it, etc etc, I was going to bring the lists with me and hand them out on the "FE Meet" as we thought that that would be easiest option.

All members that were on the list are still participating, but i'd be happy to send you a list should you want one

Are you all packed and ready? Bet your little grandson is getting really excited now.

Really looking forward to meeting you very soon.

Lots of love
