Disney Fantasy- Day 5


    Day 5- 5/2/12
    Cozumel


    We all met and had Breakfast at the Enchanted Garden Buffet at 9:30.

    After  breakfast, we continued to work on some quick Music Video shooting and fun with the Royal Castaways.


       
    We also saw the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique set up for pirates night!  Very cool



 



                                 
        
                                 

    It was then time for Kara's favorite movie - Tangled 3D- in the Buena Vista Theater.   All attended and for many of the group it was a first time to see Tangled and they loved it!  :)

    It was then Lunch in Cabanas.   The primary goal was to get shrimp for our video shoot for a shrimp peeling video. We learned that Arlene has a fool proof method to eat shrimp without ever touching them to peel.

    Aqualab and pool time on deck 12 forward for Rachel and Kara.   David took pictures and video.



     Roberta, Larry and Jeannie were with us and took pics and relaxed in loungers.

    Afterwards, we stopped for Ice cream at frozone after sun and fun!

    Arl and Wil saw their second movie of day-  War Horse.
    Paul- only he knows what he did and he isn't sharing. LOL...

    The Gang then relaxed in their rooms for an hour...

    We went to the Minkins room to film two videos for the behind scenes section of our DVD.
    • Anyone can cook series-  how to peel shrimp
    • How to place on a tattoo for pirate night





    Roberta & Larry, Arl and Wil & Paul saw Disneynature chimpanzee  movie in the Walt Disney Theater and enjoyed it.

    Rachel, Kara, David and Jeannie saw characters:
    • Pirate Stitch
    • Pirate Mickey
    • Pirate Goofy
    • Pirate Donald



    We then headed to Studio D to see the Pirate game show.   We had a fun time.  It was interactive and high energy.   Kara seemed to enjoy!




     Then we went up to Deck 11 pool stage to see the Pirates In The Carinbean character stage show.  It was very good and Kara had a great time.








    We had Pirate night dinner in Animators Palate.   It is a great place for Pirate night dinner because they show the sketches and paintings from the Disney Parks rides and Disney movies that deal with pirates!  
    David had pineapple, honeydew and watermelon cold soup (which is outrageous) and beef w Dijon crust.   
    Rachel had caesar salad, the short ribs (which Wil declared the best he has ever had)
    Kara had kids pizza.




                                                       









    After dinner, it was time for the Pirates Fireworks, Buccaneer Blast, which are always great.







    Kara fell asleep literally two seconds after fireworks ended.  She waited to see them end.



    She then joined Grandma and Grandpa in their cabin to sleep so Rachel and David could go on the Aquaduck at night.  It was very cool and the first pirate movie was on at the time!


    Then it was off to sleep...

Coronado Springs Resort Refurbished Room 2018

We got to stay in a refurbished room at the Coronado Springs Resort in late July 2018.

The area we were in is known as Casitas 2.   Casitas 2 is closer to the main building, as preferred, but starting to get a little further away.  Not as far as the other areas. From what I can tell these areas were the first to be refurbished as the resort is still going through the existing room refurbishment.



The entire resort is getting its own extreme makeover. Besides the guest rooms, the common areas and restaurants are getting a new look as well as the pool area later this year.  In addition they are  building a brand new 15 story tower with new rooms as well.  The theme is the southwest.  They are toning down the heavy theme and making the rooms more upscale for the heavy convention clientele as this has one of the largest convention areas on property.

In our eyes they did a great job! Very updated, modern but a hint of theme and not over the top. The use of granite topped furniture and bath…

Mariner of the Seas Live Blog: Day 4- Sea Day

It’s Sea Day... we decided we were going to do breakfast in The Dining Room. The group met on level 3 to start the meal.  The breakfast has hot meals that can be ordered from the wait staff and a buffet for all the cold and continental items.   The wait staff was great and the food came out just right. Nice and relaxing compared to the Windjammer.


After breakfast K and a friend went to Jaime’s for a pre-reserved Cupcake decorating class. K says:  "It was so much fun!  We worked with pre-made cupcakes from the chef.  He showed us how to ice them with special designs.  He showed us how to make a rose out of fondant.  It was so cool.  We decorated four cupcakes each."  8 cupcakes for the whole gang to eat later!

While the decorating was going on, the rest of the group walked around the ship and everyone met up at our cozy Starbucks corner.   Drinks and snacks just like on land with a great view outside the big ocean view and promenade window.


The gang went up to the Viking Crow…

Mariner of the Seas Live Blog: Day 3- Nassau

Today’s title should be really called "Ship Day in Port"!  As is customary for our group we like to utilize the ship facilities and explore when we are in a standard port.  In this case Nassau. The ship was docked really early at about 8 am and left at 11:59 pm.

We woke up late at about 9 am.  We got dressed and went to a packed Windjammer buffet.  Nothing really good to write about.  The place was jam packed and no room anywhere.  We were there late enough to get a seat in Chops  after they stopped its use for real suite guests. Junior Suites don’t rate this special perk. I found the food to be cold and very blah.  Oh well.   Maybe it was late, but it seemed half the ship was there. Another part of our party went to the dining room and said it was good.  We shall try there tomorrow.

We then all met for mini golf at the Mariner Dunes.  Very nice refurbished golf course.  It used to be in the back of the ship where the new Flowrider, Skypad  and water slides were addded.
