Well, I didn't try to stay up last night. To be honest, midnight on a work night is just way too late for me. 11:00 is my limit. So I logged on at about 6:20 this morning.

I was able to book Palo for us for dinner (8 PM) on Tuesday. At that time, the 6:00 times were taken so I decided to go for a time that aligns with the late dining time in case there is a good show that night.

Also I was able to book at cabana massage for me on Monday afternoon.

Well congrats to everyone whom got what they wanted.

Sorry to those whom had all the problems.

We could not even attempt, since this our first Disney Cruise.

Hope you all, left some fun stuff for us to book.

Oh well, DH update,,he is doing very well. He should be able to give up the walker and move to a cane on Friday.

well now i am a bit sad. i was able to book my dinning for before the cruise on Sunday but couldn't make resies for the cruise since this will be our first. I have to wait until 75 days. Now my question, will there be anything left for us to book at 75 days? I know I want a couples massage on the boat and a relaxation thing for us on the cay and of course the snorkles and stuff. I wasn't so worried about Palo but it seems that it is a must so now i think i am upset that we might not get to experience in. Is there a dress up night on the ship? Hope everyone is well.

Chances are there will be Palo dinner still available at the 75 day mark but not brunch. Remember that they hold a lot back for booking on boarding day. Plus honestly as much as I love Palo brunch I wouldn't call Palo a "must do". We didn't do Palo until our 4th cruise and I don't regret it for a minute. As a first time cruiser there is so much to experience on the cruise I wouldn't stress if you do miss Palo.

There really isn't a "dress up" night on the cruise unless DVC creates one. I think it was 2007 with the Legends that they had the "Legends Ball" and quite frankly I thought it was a bust (the only one of that cruise). Those who book Palo dinner usually dress up more than those eating in the dining room.

We go with Dockers/Polo shirts for Mark and nice slacks/tops for me. We have pirate t-shirts we wear on pirate night.

Hope this helps!

Well I had a set-back yesterday as it was supposed to be chemo day for me. Unfortunately my platelets were too low and I couldn't have it and had to reschedule for next Monday. Hopefully this will be the only set-back because I really want to be finished by cruise time.

From Doc on the DVC boards. As expected the boards are going dark later today in honor of Caskbill.

Caskbill (Bill Neth) has been a positive force on the DIS for years as part of the Technical Support Team and the DVC Boards. He has developed free software to aid DVC members with their planning and has also written programs to automate processes on the DVC Rent/Trade and Resort Reservtion Availability Boards here on the DIS.

As a memorial tribute to Caskbill, Pete is taking the DIS dark from 5 - 7 pm this afternoon.

He was a good friend to many and is greatly missed.

Please join the DIS in honoring his life.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Takes care.

Good Morning.

Sorry to hear the problems some had. That is too bad. I agree with Mary about Palo and not doing it your first cruise. We didn't do it until our last cruise, which was #4, but now that we have we wouldn't want to miss having dinner there. It was fun.

Have a great day!

Thanks for letting us know Mary.

It is only right that they do this.

take care

Giving us a bump back to page 1. That should make us easier to find once the boards come back up later tonight.

Mary, praying for you and hope those counts come up.
You have such a great outlook. I really admire you.

Favorite Disney Character: Susan - Mickey, Tigger at the parks, but he isn't a creation of Disney...so Mickey would be the one
Bob - Mickey, particularly Steam Boat Willie

Favorite Disney Movie: Susan - Beauty and the Beast
Bob - 20 Thousand Leagues Under The Sea

I think that's a Disney movie...if it isn't let me know, and I will ask him.
I know that's a favorite of his.
