Tiggerandpooh, we have not yet decided if we are using FL Tours again, or if we will rent a car this go around...we will likely be using FL Tours, and might rent the car for the return to WDW after the cruise for one night before heading to the airport Sunday morning (EARLY!) DH's cousin lives in Cocoa Beach so we may drive up to spend some time on Saturday (following the cruise) with her.

Well, with the "stacking" of discount codes that was going on with Disney Direct a few days ago I ordered Trevor's costume. It arrived today, and he has been smiling every since (in fact, he has not taken it off!!!) He is beyond excited. Seems he is more excited about the costume than his upcoming birthday trip to WDW this week (well, one thing at a time for a child that young!)

Just ordered Steve a costume too, now just to get my coordinating costume (whatever that may be--I'm going to wait and see if I lose any weight before getting a costume.)

Have any of you tried booking Palo online lately? There are NO brunch times available for prebooking at this time, and no dinner being offered either. WOW!

Okay, well we are just over 60 days!!! I can't wait.

Hmmm... I was thinking of checking INTO the Radisson after we dock on Saturday so we can hit the Space Center, but if the lobby is a mess with people trying to get out for the next sailing maybe it's not such a good idea. . Any other suggestions for a hotel close to the astronauts? We only have Saturday there and fly out Sunday morning.

I'm rethinking this "wench" thing also. Too much room in the suitcases, me thinks. I'm gonna need the room for all the bling-age I'm gonna be toting home .

We're heading to the beach today. Can't let this 85 degree weather pass us by. Flip flops, fish tacos, few margs, boogie boards .... yup, sounds like a pretty good day to me. Happy weekend to all!

I booked my Palo dinner online the other day...it was either Saturday night or Friday night only...I took the Friday night because I just can't miss eating there...I know I would be sorry.

Happy Saturday!!!!

Katrina - what a pretty name for such a savage storm. Hope none of you guys were affected by it.

Kudos and to all of you have already gotten their Halloween and pirate costumes. Wish I were as efficient. Guess I'll have to start concentrating on that soon.

Have a great weekend.

WOW< Its 60 days from tomorrow and we leave ! ( we fly down on oct 28 to stay at the radisson)

As for US> I have Madisons pirate costume and kyles soon, My Pirate tee and nothing for hubby yet..The KDIS also have thir halloween costumes ( Madison is tinkerbell and kyle a power ranger) NO COSTUMES for us.. i wear mine everyday... We have PALO booked for SUNDAY night at 6pm i think BUT I may end up cancelling it/ fancy is not us~ ..Just not sure yet~ BUT yes, I am getting things ready left and right ! HAPPY SATURDAY~

 

[trishy]

Oh, don't cancel Palo. It really is worth the experience. It's just a really nice night out with more personal service than you'll get in the dining room. The food is really, really great. I'm not a fancy person at all and I like to stick to old favorites, but Palo is my welcome splurge. It's also really nice to be able to have a peaceful dinner in a quieter more relaxing atmosphere than the dining room. Not to say the dining room is bad or anything; it's just crowded, a bit noisy, and you're basically having what everyone else is having.

It's your first DCL cruise - experience as much as you can.

I'm still up in the air on whether to do a costume for myself. I might do a t-shirt type of thing - just a funny Halloween type shirt.

 

[*love*2*shop]

Thanks for the advice on PALO..As far as the PIRATE NIGHT>>All Myself and hubby are doing are PIRATE shirts and patches or something( i Just WON ON EBAY 2 tees for us..and I will go to the PARTY store for Pirate ACCESSories)

NO IDEA yet if we are doing HALLOWEEN COSTUMES? SAMe thing, we may Juts do tee shirts etc( SO MUCH TO PACK with all that ARGHHH And SOO MUCH more $$)

 

[BeanoC]

Trish - Could not have said it better myself!

I agree 100% with what you said about Palo... quiet atmosphere, personal service, etc. It is definitely a "don't miss" experience on any Disney cruise.

Anyone who cancels may be punished by walking the plank!!

I just booked the Captain Nautica's St. John snorkle adventure through Disney. Have any of you ever done this one?

I am working on booking the Anguilla Dolphin swim directly with the dolphin discovery company (saving a lot over Disney's prices) and hope to have that one confirmed Monday. Also Trevor can do this one and cannot with Disney directly.

Those are the only 2 things planned. With the Captain Nautica's snorkle we are back to the ship by 12:00 noon so we have the rest of the day to enjoy St. Thomas. I hope the kids clubs are open EARLY for Trevor (he's too young to go.)

OMG, I have so much to do in the next 48 hours that I can't think straight. I'm here posting when I should be doing other things. I can't concentrate

SIGH,
I need to go to bed.

Well I'm not sure what I did but I booked a 3 star DownTown Disney resort through Bookit.com for $59.00 a night. I won't know which resort it is for another 48hrs but the ammenities that are listed are very impressive , and it is inside the Disneyworld resort area. Keep your fingers crossed for me and I'll let you know what it is as soon as I find out. It looks as if the courtyard Marriott is the lowest level hotel in the area so I think we'll be pretty happy whichever "resort" it turns out to be.
Does anyone know how much a cab ride would be from MCO to Downtown Disney?

Good Morning everyone!!!!

Is anyone from our group in the New Orleans area?? Please be safe!!!!!

Went to see 40 Year Old Virgin last night, has anyone else seen it yet??? I thought it was funny but then again I have a weird sense of humour.

Just booked the Pinel Island tour, we weren't going to do any "guided" tours but decided we really wanted to do some snorkleing and not have to bring stuff from home.

What other tours are you all planning??? We just have that and the Paradise Tramway.

A few tours on St THomas mention going to the Mountain Top. Is that where you get the Bushwackers??? I was thinking of something on St Thomas as well and if it includes the Tramway then I can cancell that one.

Hope you all enjoy your Sunday.
