Hi Jess
My goodness you have lots of dining reservations, I wish I had as many. I have heard that POP century is very good, and not only for children. Well I have finally finished all of my bookings and changes. After the cruise we were going to stay at the Doubletree Suites but I have changed that and have now booked the Portofino Bay Resort at Universal Studios. This will enable us to have front of the line access to all of the rides for the 3 days we are there. My daughter who is 15 wanted to stay at the Hard Rock hotel but it was more expensive and we got a great deal at the Portofino which is only a 10 minute walk away.
You were soooooo lucky to be a cast member, what a dream job! You must tell me all about it. Are you originally from the States? Let me know I am so interested.
Yesterday I recieved a package from the Disney Cruise Line. You might already have yours but if not it's little booklets of information about shore excursions, gifts, tips etc. It is all enclosed in a travel wallet and is very nice. All the information is already on the website but it was exciting to receive it and it will go in my travel box. Have you thought about any shore excursions that you would like to do? Angeline (my Daughter) has decided that she wants to go swimming with the dolphins on Nassau, it's only $99 which is much cheaper than when we went to Discovery Cove 4 years ago. I can't book it until 75 days before we sail so she is counting the days until August 28th.
Well that's my travel updates, let me know more about yours. Just one more thing, do you know anything about the door magnets for the cruise? I keep reading about them on disboards but don't know whether I have to make my own or if I can buy them over there, or whether I can just use one from my fridge. It's very confusing, any info you have would help.

Hi Krystine
I am going to make a new post about my time as a cast member in the WDW thread.
About the magnetic signs.....As far as i can understand you make them at home. I think you can buy magnetic sheets of paper or something in the US. I have never seen anything like thta in Australia. I think i am going to make a sign, laminate it and then buy some double sided magnetic tape from bunnings and then stick it on the back.
We are going to go to Universal and Islands of Adventure as well. We will be there Dec 30-Jan2. I know it is going to be packed over this period but for 86 dollars for a 7 day pass you cant go wrong.
Nothing else has really happened. Things have slowed down now as i am waiting for the 2008 rates to come out, i think it will be monday. The reason i have so many ADR's is because we are doing the Disney Dining Plan. But i think that it will be different for next yera..... no tip or appetizer. I ll have to wwait and see, on the disboards everyone is saying that it wont be a good deal if it is true
I havent gotten anything from the Cruise LIne. Maybe i should call i booked in Feburary this Year.
Oh did i tell you i upgraded from Cat 12 to Cat 11. We got a room on Deck 7!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Talk soon
More updates please
Love Jess
I have no holidays planned to disney for a while....how depressing...i will just have to live through all your adventures!
