How much of a hike is it to each of the areas? How bout at night? How many bars and do you know the hours are there in the Grand section? I know about the Roof Top Bar, I was actually thinking of everyone meeting for happy hour there on Friday night. Our biggest nights with friends are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and I was thinking of listing meetings places in my brochure for Thursday and Friday. Any other suggestions on places to meet a crew of people? another question.... Do cell phones work in Mexico? We have Sprint.

Hi Tina! I also have Sprint and just recently called them to ask about service in Mexico. They told me my phone will work but it will cost me $1.69 per minute!! Yikes!!!!

Our colors are pink and orange too! My fiancee loves orange and my bridesmaids are wearing Watermelon colored dresses from Davids Bridal! I just sent a request to our WC about orange and pink rose petals.

I totally get that...I get nervous just thinking about it. Thanks for the advice on the cake...I was debating between small and large and now I know I can go with the small and it will be fine. Can't wait to see more pictures from your wedding!

Hey girlies

 

Tammy had said about the 3 nights min stay, but when i go through the online booking on the palaceresorts website, it allows me to put through a booking for 1 night...i'm going to wait for the email back from mp to see what they say...this is murder!

Congrats on the house!! Mine is scheduled to close May 20th.

HOT is very good to know..... I think we would prefer the breeze for a 2:00 wedding in July!!

I am getting very excited and very nervous! I am starting to go over thing after thing to make sure we have purchased everything! There are several of us all getting married the same week in July....... Ladies, it is gong to be here before we know it!!

"Yikes!!" is right! I am very used to my nights and weekend mins being free!! I guess I will be making calls from my hotel room...... it is nice it is unlimited calls from the hotel.

I wonder about texting. I need to call them about that!

That is good to know that is an option. Maybe the minimum only applies to people that are part of a wedding group. If they don't tell them they are part of your group, at least they are there. Or maybe Moon Palace lightened up on some of their rules due to low occupancy rates!

If you haven't looked at other posts lately, here is a good thread on getting your bags to Mexico through Customs.
