the cheesecake cups are sooo easy to make ( Natalie the 8yr old made them.) my son keeps eating them all. ( I made them in mini cupcake size..so I actually have some left for the 24th.

I just need some grab bag gifts for the 24th. I stopped last year and bought the kids scratch off lotto tickets. ( I cant get those until I get to PA, I dont think anyone will drive to Ohio to get their $1.00)

Ok for those of you that want this info here is the dining rotations for our cruise--at this point. This info will also be posted on our web page. i got this info from a reservations person at DCL.

5:30pm-& 8:00PM-LAAPLAP----Animators=formal nt, Lumi's=Pirate Nt., Animators=Semi Formal

5:45PM-& 8:15PM-APPLAPL---Parott=Formal, Animators=Pirate, Parrott=Semi-Formal

6:00PM-& 8:30PM-PLLAPLA-- Lumi's =Formal, Parrott=Pirate night, Lumi's = Semi formal.

Ok this is the info I have so far....in anything changes i will check again this summer to confirm nothing has changed. Seems Western is B2B rotations as Eastern is alternating every 3rd nt.

Michelle, I called Disney to find out what my dining time was (cuz I was hoping to be in Lumiers for formal nite) and the woman I spoke to said that as of right now they arent doing the staggered dinner times. She said it all depends (on what I dont know) when you will eat, but I am scheduled for main dining between 5:30 and 6pm. I thought I had 5:45 but she said nope. I will get that info when I walk into my cabin and get my dinner tkts(?). I dont know. I could call back again and get a totally different answer!!! I wanna eat at 6pm because...well because.

Val those cookies sound delicious!! I gotta go to the store to get the stuff to make mine for santa. Just choc. chip.

I have requested 6Pm cause I like , i think i have said before, the characters are out at 5:45 and the kids see a character and then go eat. then dinner ends about20-30 mins before the show andwe go straight to the show. Also I like formal in Lumi's. Doesn't matter but would be nice.

When I called I wasn't calling for my specific rotation just the generic rotation. it seemed my lady was reading it off a screen so plus I have a spread sheet I got from another cruise and alteredto ours and it had the same dining..so for now i will go with it. i also sent an email so we will see what they say...of course I will ask in August to see if anything has changed.

Here is one of our finished shirts for boarding day...this is Nelia's polo shirt with the name badge ironed on so she looks like a CM. Maybe I can get a discount......haha

Here is my email response from Disney

Dear Michelle,

Thank you for choosing a Disney Cruise Line Vacation!
I would be happy to assist you.
This email is intended to not set false expectations for something which is not set in stone. I will tell you the currently scheduled rotations, which could change tomorrow, and they could change the day you sail.

For the 7:Night Caribbean Cruise, today the schedule for dining is:


5:30 or 8:00 pm- LAAPLAP

5:45 or 8:15 pm- APPLAPPL

6:00 or 8:30 pm- PLLAPLA

Dining schedules or rotations are not guaranteed and subject to change.
Dining attire varies by venue or theme night on your cruise. In general, most meals are "Cruise Casual" -- no shorts, swimwear or tank tops; jeans, khakis and capris are permitted. Most cruises also have special theme nights. Below is the recommended attire for your cruise itinerary and is subject to change:

On 7-night Western Caribbean cruises:

*Nights 1, 2, 4, & 7: cruise casual
*Night 3: "formal night" - formal wear for men: tuxedo or suit; for women: gown or dress
*Night 5: pirate night with deck party - cruise casual or your best pirate outfit!
*Night 6: "semi-formal night" - semi-formal wear for men: suit/jacket; for women: dress or pantsuit.

Dress for dinner at Palo on all cruises:

Women: dress or pantsuit

I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Merry Xmas

Michelle I am glad you posted another picture of yourself because you have changed since your last pix. Your hair is longer. I would not have thought that was you. Same with Andrea...longer hair. I will get one on here closer to cruise time so you guys can recognize me.

I like the shirt for Nelia. That is really cute. When I get the girls outfits down I will post a pix. I just havent started them yet.
I dont care what dining rotation I have I just want to be on that boat already!! This winter weather is killing me!!!!

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Norma---u are alive!!! Right now it is growing out, but we'll see if I can stand it...it may be cut by then. That's why I said I will be asking for New photos from everyone about Sept 1st. to post on our web page so we can recongnize each other at the port. I mean not that the nutty Disney buffs wouldn't give it away. I will be easy to find just look for the nut holding the Disney Dreamer sign

 

[2Pirates&1Princess]

I am alive. Just getting ready for x-mas. Once that is over then I can concentrate on getting stuff ready for the cruise...like magnets and outfits and of course shopping for new clothes .

Are we just printing out the dreamers logo and attaching it to a lanyard we buy at the store? That is how we are identifying ourselves right? Sorry...sometimes I read a post and it goes in one ear and out the other and then by the time I get back on we are 15 pages out. Just refresh my memory

Are we doing a group dis pix?

 

[LisaG520]

I'm back. We went to Mousefest 2 weekends ago and MVMCP last Friday. Now we are home again for this weekend then off to NC on the 1st.

Merry Christmas everyone!!! (I know I'm a little early but in case people are traveling for
Christmas...)

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Norma...Yes I think we are doing it that way. and then print the lime green mikcey ears with your dis name on it and put that on the opposite side of our logo. that way if it flips over we will notice each other.

Merry Christmas to you too Lisa...wish I was at MVMCP...i was there last Dec and I missed it this year!

Ugh!!! I just got a call from a timeshare company (which I have done timeshare tours before) and they were offering me Disney for $99.00 for a family of five for 8 days 7 nts at a 4 star resort off property. I really wanted to say yes, but I just cant sit through another timeshare promo. Man...he did make it sound really good though. But I do want to do Disney in 2010 and stay on property. Gotta save up for that. Man $99...say no to timeshares...say no to timeshares

 

[2Pirates&1Princess]

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!!! I will be very busy tomorrow and wont be able to get back on until after the holiday. I hope Santa brings everyone what they wanted

I think I am going out shopping the day after christmas just to see if I can get any bargains. I know it is going to be crazy, but it is just so hard for me to pass it up. Andrea has your Fish extender came yet? Cant wait to see it.

Everyone take care and have a safe holiday season!!!!!

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Good Evening all...I hope everyone is ready for Christmas! We are ready here. Ihave to admit I am not as excited for it this year. Normally I love this time .....I think my mind is just screaming DCL!

Hope you all have had a good day! Wrap wrap wrap!
