Thanks so much chip&dale&fun for the info on the Native Choice tour! I'm so looking forward to it (and so glad to hear you don't have to be in 'racing trim' to survive it!) Did anybody take a picture of Ivan??? (we have one of David ) I'm sure I'll come up with some additional questions eventually....or one of my OCPD cruise mates will!

oops, I already have. Sounds like you did the "Mayan Experience" $68 5 hour tour (the one that includes lunch with a local family). Most of us have booked the $45 3.5-4 hour tour, which I ASSUME is the same tour, ours just ends...before lunch! Do you think that's a correct assumption?

Yes, you are correct.....but if possible, try lunch as well...

I have pictures of the shirts and the bag for this cruise. The shirts cost $14.99 and the bag was $15.00. The shirt also came in a tan color.

Thanks Stace - I tried all day and could not post the shot....the tan shirts are for youth sizes.....(and they run small)....

One night, can't remember which one, I saw teen/tween kids in the hallway bragging about how many door signs they had stolen. They must have had at least 6 in hand. I wanted to report them but figured they wouldn't be there by the time I found someone.

Well poohy on them....pbhtttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You all are such a wealth of information!!!

Thanks for the pictures of the t-shirt and bag. Is the t-shirt a blue color or does it just look that way because of the lighting? Either way, I LOVE the design and can't wait to get one of my own!!!

The shirts are blue, and actually a prettier blue than what shows in the picture.

yep, definitely try the lunch- I'm glad we did!
But that is correct- the ones not doing the lunch left at the same time we did- just didn't go to lunch like we did.

Great picture and the cloud looks like Goofy lying on his back enjoying the day too

I sooo see that in the clouds! Good eye! LOL (and how cool is that?)

Only the kids sizes are available in tan... but NOT available in blue.

Goofy Gallery which is new since we last sailed the Magic in December of 2004. They had a number of pastries and they had Stollen bread - just like in Palo. No whipped cream, jam or berries to go with it but it was still delicious.

Drat - didn't know Goofy's had the Stollen. Maybe that's a good thing - I was having trouble fitting into my clothes by Saturday without the extra Stollen. Just another excuse to book again - I have to try Breakfast at Goofy's.

Memo to self - when choosing cruise clothes - elastic waistbands are a must!!!

I do know that Cove Cafe hosts a cigar/conac receiption some nights but haven't been up there during that to know if it is held inside or out or how smokey it is.

The reception is in the passageway area next to Cove Cafe- as a non-smoker, I thought it was pretty smokey - on the way to the Quiet Cove pool, we would just head around to the other side to get to the pool. Sure wish there were more of those comfy lounge chairs on the other side of the Quiet Cove - I would have loved to take advantage of them in the evenings but, couldn't for the cigar receptions.

 

[mickeymo]

Yes - pretty much the same menu each time.....

I had never eaten at Serenity Bay so I was quite surprised that they had T-Bone steaks on the menu.

And the Steaks were HUGE - just about covered an entire paper plate!!!! Best part - John just leaned over and pointed to the steak the server just flipped - and got a very good rare steak! yum!!! (Almost) didn't miss the lobster burgers...

1st kid just rolled out of bed and I'm finished catching up so, I'll have to log off- impressions and trip reports later...John took lots of great photos of fellow DISers. We were on the side of the Pirates Party up front and he got some great photos of the characters. He'll get links to those later - I'm sure he's swamped, catching up at work.

I've got a question for YippeeDCL...what beach did you go to? I loved the pictures and want one of those massages!!!

For those of you on the DD cruise...what night would you recommend for Palo?...we are on the 10/14 dd.

Thanks!

There's a good tip, be sure and eat at Serenity Bay on the SECOND CC day, not the first. We did it the other way around, and the menu was nothing special.

Totally missed the t-shirts. I did ask about pins, but didn't even think about t-shirts.

Evans Family, we ate dinner at Palo on Tuesday. It would have been our second night in our first restaurant, and I don't think anything special was going on in the dining rooms.

For those of you on the DD cruise...what night would you recommend for Palo?...we are on the 10/14 dd.

Thanks!

Whatever night that is AFTER the day that you bought bigger pants.

Seriously, though... we had brunch AND dinner at Palo on Thursday... which worked out great, but after 6 hours at Palo in one day, we weren't very hungry for the dessert buffet at 11:15...

That's what we did, too. Ate there the first day, then decided not to go all the way over there the second day, because (we thought) it wasn't any different.
Oh well. Guess we'll just have to do another "Double Dip"!!
