I did just notice that we're on page 500, Jay!

Yes, Bonnie - It most certainly is FRIDAY!!!

 

[Bbgrizzle]

ooooo, your trip is coming up too, Cassi! You lucky girl! Are you chomping at the bit?

 

[jaycns]

Holy cow!! It's finally almost here! So your cruise, did you say you were doing the Western route? I wanna hear about your excursion plans!

Yep we are doing the Western route this time!!

Planned Excursions:

Key West- this will be a do it ourselves kind of day. We want to hit the Pirate Soul museum for sure...also the Butteryfly Conserv. We are not sure what else. Maybe the Ripley's Believe It or Not place. It all depends on our mood that day and what coupons I can dig up before we go. Another must this day will be to have a slice of key lime pie and maybe have a frosty drink at a beach front bar. We are going to keep the kids with us for the morning and hit the museum type places and then drop them off and do the bar/pie in the mid afternoon.

Grand Cayman- We are doing the Disney Reef/Shipwreck snorkel first thing in the morning. Then after that we are going back to the ship, grabbing the kids and heading out to the Sea Turtle Farm. We will stop at the Hell rock formations if we have time.

Cozumel- Another do it ourselves day. We are going to go to Paradise Beach (never been....but have heard GREAT things about it...free to go, good food (filtered water/ice , giant climbing ice berg and water trampoline out in the ocean, kayaks (how do you spell that?!!), sun mats, floats AND snorkel gear all for one fee of $8 a person) for the early part of the day (up until about 1:00 PM). Then we are going to drop the kids off and do some shopping in the local markets for the rest of the afternoon.

Castaway Cay- We are going to spend the morning with the kids and then drop them off at the kid's clubs and then we are doing the Sting Ray Snorkel excursion and plan on spending some time at the adult only beach. We will pick the kids up in time for one last family splash in the ocean.

That's about it! I sure hope all of our plans work out!

Sounds AWESOME, Jay ! In Key West I planned on getting a piece of Key lime pie too. Then I saw these Key lime pies on a stick. So I got one of those instead. NASTY! Don't do it! Get the real pie!

Key West was boring for us. We did the Conch Train Tour. Next time I'm going to Margaritaville!

 

[jaycns]

This should be enough fairies for everyone:

Work is going well today. I'm nearly all caught up!

Thanks for the pixie dust...maybe it's working...nobody has been sick in over 2 hours!! **knock on wood**

 

[jaycns]

Woo hoo!!! That's awesome!

Where is Sarah these days? And Karen? And Alisa? And Kim? And Teresa? Don't they like us?

Maybe we should send out the "" to track them down!!

I miss them.

 

[jaycns]

Cassi where are you guys staying when you go BACK TO WDW? It's so close for you too!!

That's a bar that's tops on our list. I want to be wastin' away!!

Oh you BET I am! I can't WAIT!


I think that sums up the excitement.

 

[cassi06403]

We're staying at POR - can you tell we love that resort? We're staying in AB this time - since we never have.

I asked a question on the resorts board and no one has answered me yet... I know it's a specific question - but you'd think SOMEONE would know the answer...

Sounds fantastic! What are your plans while there? All the parks? Just a few? Water parks? DTD?

Good idea! Send him out! Have him track down Kelly too! I miss all her pictures!

Yeah, Cassi! What are your plans? I love POR too!

I've never done the water parks. Are they fun?

We have only done BB but it was a whole lot of fun for all of us. It was a nice relaxing day. And we want to go back again this trip...we also want to fit in TL...so it's a matter of wringing more time out of the day to get to them!!

BB has a great family raft ride. It's really long and a TON of fun!! All five of us loved it!! The only thing was, I was NOT full of grace getting out of the raft at the end...in fact, I was surely great entertainment for anyone watching!

 

[Bbgrizzle]

Water parks sound like so much fun! But that would mean me getting into a swimsuit and that is not pleasant!

And Jay, just for you:

 

[cassi06403]

We've never done the water parks either...

The day we arrive we have ADR's at Jiko - awesome Fillet Mignon!

We're doing MK with breakfast at Crystal Palace on the 1st - My birthday! Back to the resort in the afternoon and then Grand Floridian Cafe for an early dinner - and back to MK!

We have a relax day the next day - with dinner reservations at 'Ohana - one of my FAVORITES!!! We'll watch Hallowishes (the Halloween fireworks) from the Poly beach after dinner.

Then we're off to Animal Kingdom and MGM the next day with Fantasmic Package dinner at Mama Melrose!

Then another relax day and we're doing Hoop Dee Doo Revue that night - we've never been to that show - looking forward to it.

The next day is Epcot day! Dinner reservations at LeCellier.

Friday is Wild Card Day - no plans made for the day. (We've never done a day up in the air like this before!) I figure we can resort hop or go to a park we want to spend more time at - whatever we like!

I have to figure out what we are doing Saturday - since our flight doesn't leave until 7:30 pm or so.

Can you tell I've been thinking about it? Since I can just spell it out at the drop of a hat?

Ahh...how nice....the twins are back!!

 

[jaycns]

That sounds like a GREAT plan! Are you doing the free dining? Is a park a possible last Saturday activity?

Cassi, your plans sound wonderful!

I'm feeling icky again so I'm gonna go lay down and watch TV. Bye!

 

[cassi06403]

Oh Bonnie - feel better soon!

Yes - we got the free dining plan!
