Wishes Cruise

QUOTE:Not sure if it will have copied OK, but you get the general idea. I think I'm perhaps going to order a fruit platter, a cheese platter, soft drinks and a bottle of bubbly

Oh decisions, decisions!!

Oh, and here is a link to an ADR calculator... Just type in your date and it will work out for you when you can book. I kept hitting redial on the phone at about 11-50am here as the lines open 7am Florida time... Just follow the instructions as they have you pressing various keys... In fact I practiced for a few days beforehand and just hung up when I finally got through to a CM each time!!!

I think you are doing exactly the same as us Citrico's Chef's Domaine then the cruise. Having a fruit and cheese platter sounds wonderful, but I think everyone will be stuffed after the meal -( we are going for banquet menu 3 as it's the only way we will make the $650 minimum, there are only 8 of us and 3 of those are little ones.)
Oh and we phoned a few times to practice too, but spoke to the CM , just in case they would book us in early! the PS calculator was a day wrong because it didnt take feb 29th into account but we got through on the 90 day mark right on 7am and bagged the Grand 1 just a little tip for anyone phoning - the recorded message upto 7am says the office is closed, but at 7am it's still a recorded message, asking you to choose an option, so make sure it's not this recording before you hit that redial button again

I'm so excited! Just hope its available, I think I'm going to be spending sooo much time worried that everything is available

Oh yes! Flip flops rule! I love heeled shoes too, but only when I really have to wear them - they cause so much pain though, why is it that the prettiest ones always hurt most?

I think we'll just be doing it for 1 hour - I think we might just have little snacks on there & drinks

Have you worked out when you guys hit the 90 day mark?? That way you can at least have a couple of trial run phone calls so you can make sure on the day of calling that you re clued up with exactly what buttons you need to press

I know when it gets to the "90 day mark" for us im gonna have both me & my df phoning at the same time so we can at least hopefully guarantee one of us gets through I ll call that "Operation get me Grand 1 "

Positive thinking hun, everything will get sorted (you re just like me as i worry over every little thing)

Think we ll just probably have some drinks on board as i would imagine not tooo long after a buffet meal we ll all still be full

Heels to me are a thing of torture , im useless at walking in them at i dont wear heels too often so most of the time my df stands there laughing at my pathetic footsteps . When it comes to taking them off i literally fling them off my feet as by then im usually in immense pain, give me trainers anyday

Yayyyyyy!! Someone else doing The Chefs Domaine!!! Even if its pants I'll pretend it was fantastic when I get back!!

I've been dieting forever, so I plan on meeting the $650 minimum just by myself that night! There is only going to be 6 of us.... My Mum is completely tea total... my Dad is hammered after a pint.... DS is 12.... so that leaves DF, FMIL and moi! I'm not sure that heaving over the side of the Grand 1 because i've had one too many cocktails is an attractive look on ones wedding day!!!

I might just get the fruit platter and be all healthy...

... then again...

CHEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mmmmm

I think thats my df's worst worry as i tend to drink alcohol like its water & when i get a tad drunk i tend to be over him like a rash & then follows the throwing up stage.........lovely

I dont drink very often but when i do oh boy it goes to my head so im gonna try to just "sip" things for a change otherwise my mums gonna get a nasty shock during my wedding day. Last time i get very drunk & very ill due to it (just before xmas) i got a massive lecturing from my mum & im 27 .

So i think im gonna limit the amount of alcohol on my wedding day AS id rather watch Wishes then admire the sight of the water whilst hanging over the ledge of a yacht

I've not worked anything out yet I'm hopeless arent I!! We're just going through the picking & choosing at the moment and then we'll start getting fully under way with the planning I'm sure when the time comes we'll be doing a 'Operation Grand 1' as well

Yeah, thats good thinking! I'm not sure whether we'll be dining before the cruise or not, so I'll just ask for drinks and maybe some sort of sweet treat

It's weird, because for most of my life I've always wore heels, even on the beach (that's another story ) But when I hit 25, I switched to trainers & flip flops and have never looked back & my feet love me for it

Wow!

That was it a few years ago.......a little different now. It changes every year when Disney trades for the newest "model".
