:boat:** IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER **:boat:


I'm choosing to post this since I get a feeling my DISney Paris France :smickey:
adventure will be keeping me quite busy over the next 60 days -
So, now about the DCL side of this :


**********************************************************************
ON WDW SIDE FIRST -
1) Make Fast Pass selections for your stay starting at 7:00 AM Eastern on August 18, 2019


then......
2) DCL Cruise Activities

Your booking window opens on July 23, 2019. Once you pay in full, you can explore and book your favorite activities.
**********************************************************************



ANYWHO -
My DCL plans are shaping up to be -


DAY ONE -:boat:
Get on board the Dream around 1:30p
then
FIND A MARGARITA ASAP
relax, unwind for a bit
then get half way unpacked
(and put my two bottles of French wine in the Stateroom fridge)

before Muster Drill
followed by

LOTS and LOTS of
R&R - ing and just chillin out seeing the Dream for the very first time -:goodvibes


Some of the other things I wanna do on DCL DAY ONE of this adventure is -
(I have 2nd seating MDR)


....check out the Drinks on deck 12 for a while while relaxing then
1) play that on board detective game. Im thinking thata a fun way to b introduced to the ship -

**Im going 2b up on Deck 4 Midship or Forward (?) enjoying the evening nightlife**:smickey:


followed by
2) request nightly room service of milk and cookies... which IMO is a fun way to end a DISney day in a magical way -:littleangel:

3) see / meet anyone from our FB DCL group??

NOW>.............................



**DCL DAY TWO **:boat:


AKA - NASSAU DAY:scared1:
After much thought, I am thinking that this is the best way to go via DCL-
1)
VIP Luxury Day Sailing (N15)


as it will give me the ability to see Nassau from a different point of view w/o feeling nor being treated like a Tourist.

afterwards, hit the Rainforest room area -

Afterwards...

MIXOLOGY???:woohoo::scratchin:confused3

Cant ferget inneracting w/some of those DISney characters!

and then later....
cant ferget yer milk and cookies now -::yes::




DCL DAY THREE
CC DAY:boat:


Slow jog the 5K?
59008939_10214268043194609_4783562818542632960_n.jpg

Some of the shore excursions that have my attention are -
1) https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/port-adventures/castaway-cay-abaco-backcountry-fishing-adventure/

Ok ...so I’m zipping along ... having no worries - life is just Peachy Keen... and then I made the fateful tactical blunder of checking my emails and lo and behold , the very first one pops up and basically says the following :


:scratchin“Yo yo Dog ... your Norton anti -virus stuff z gonna expire in 48 hours so like um ... give me money .”........ rrrrrrrr!:mad: (yes, it was a valid email as i hadnt had to renew my Norton Anti virus stuff for 4 years).....


So - after renewing it for two years & not to be outdone ... let’s just say a little over 90 minutes later I’ve been shopping on EBay, had me a Rueben & chips that couldn’t be beat followed by some cookies .... oh - and I’m all set now to see the ‘Avengers’ IMAX 3D movie Tuesday at 4:50pm so don’t spoil it fer me....- ok the Congregation can now sit ... rant over ... it’s behind me now I feel better:thumbsup2:thumbsup2



and speaking of the Avengers movie -
SHHHH!!!!!!:ssst:
DON'T "SPOIL IT" for me........

Iv'e decided to see the 4:50pm IMAX 3-D showing of "the Avengers" at my local AMC theatre this upcoming Tuesday.....

So -
to keep me from reading about all the spoilers, I thought I could use a campy diversion -
