unofficial check-in for 3/9 magic UPDATED

What do you think is the best day to go to Palos for dinner and brunch? Also, what's the earliest you can get in line at the terminal on Saturday?

...we've booked palos brunch for sunday, and dinner for wednesday and friday. we decided to order room service early and eat on the veranda, then follow it up with brunch at palos while the boys explore their clubs. we've never done that before and thought it'd be a great way to start our cruise.

as for lining up, i don't think the terminal opens until 10:30, so you could conceivably start lining up then after you check in. they won't open the doors until 12:30 or so, though, so you might want to stagger the line-waiting (have one person at a time stand in the line while the others explore and get pictures with the characters, etc.).

once you are on board, they will steer you to either parrot cay or beach blanket buffet for lunch. the shrimp is awesome! after that, either head for your stateroom or go stand in a line! then the fun truly begins!!

of course, we're nowhere near the 9/28/02 number (WHY is that one so high?), but we're doing well!

I know there will be a variety of attire, but since our two boys will hopefully be with us for at least part of the late dinner, we are not planning on dressing to the 9's! How about everyone else? I like to dress up, but for me a formal is not very practical in my daily life. I would rather spend the $$ on something else to wear! If I wear a nice dress or pantsuit will I be wishing I had on a formal gown?

Formal is not always so comfortable with 2 kids in tow. We will be middle of the road I guess. But we most definitely will weight the comfort factor heavily! I think a pant suit is just fine! Last year we saw some people that disregarded the formal attire all together!

Enjoy!

WE WILL BE DOING THE FORMAL THING...FROM WHAT I HEAR IT IS A GREAT PHOTO OP FOR THE FAMILY. WE NEVER GET GUSSIED UP. THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A NICE CHANGE.
I CAN NOT BELIEVE, NEXT WEEK THIS TIME, WE WILL BE AT THE PORT RADISSON. I AM SO EXCITED I CAN NOT SLEEP WITH OUT DREAMING ABOUT THE TRIP NOW. ACTUALLY, THAT IS A LITTLE BOTHERSOME. I WAKE UP REALLY TIRED.
WE WERE ALSO LOOKING AT BRUNCH ON SUNDAY AND DINNER ON WED.
THIS WEEK END IS GOING TO BE PACK PACK PACK....

We'll be doing the formal thing, too. Hopefully, it will be a nice photo-op.
It's been difficult concentrating on my work this week. I can't even imagine what next week will be like!

 

[dizneykids]

...i plan on wearing dressy pant suits for formal night. i would really love a gown, but i couldn't find anything i liked, that fit, that cost less than $350! so, dressy pant suits will just have to suffice.

dh has decided to rent a tux mainly so he only has to drag along a jacket and slacks for the other nights! he's so practical!!

OMG! a week from today at this very moment, we will be ready to board a plane for florida! YIKES!!
