Rain forest spa?

Rain forest spa?

Yes, or called the Rainforest Room. Google Rainforest Room on Disney magic.

So, only three people have found this thread? I was very active on the Dis about 15 years ago. This is our 8th cruise on Disney. Back them we had hundreds of Dis'ers commenting on any given cruise we took. Everyday there were tons of comments. We got to know so many people on the Dis before we boarded the ship and on one cruise we all requested to sit together for dinners(granted by Disney), had a room on the ship set aside for us and we all brought a local bottle of wine for everyone to try and were all together on top ship during sail-away celebrations on the first day. Just sad to see this does not happen anymore.

Agreed, but there are other venues that folks use now to communicate. I am on this cruise as well.. and even my last cruise last month, I never saw much activity. Only 93 days now.

[babycatsy]

good luck.. I hope you get what you want to do.

Me too - I just really want to make sure I get Palo brunch and alcohol tastings.

I won't get to book till the 12th march. Really hope they still have availability then. Hoping for frozen and princess gathering, as well as the character breakfast. What do you multiple cruisers think is the likelihood?

So my first cruise was last year with alaska and it wasn’t until a couple of weeks/days that I was able to secure my Palo brunch and glacier excursion by logging in every single day and checking. They also keep some for on board booking

We are doing the wine tasting first day at sea. Yeah!

 

[Kate_45]

When exactly do the bookings open up? I mean what time of day and in what time zone? I have just been told 12th March but I am on Greenwich meantime so what time of day does that mean for me?

It should be midnight/12:01pm eastern time zone. I remember having to book at 11 pm central for Alaska. But I should figure this out bc I book this weekend!

 

[Kate_45]

urgh! 5am. Don't think I'll be getting up for that

No. 4am as they will have switched to daylight savings that weekend.
