This is also a huge line-time saver on the way home!!! Cuts you right through the US Customs lines! Mobile Passport works GREAT!

(lines in ATL last year were insane.... I had global entry so breezed right through. The girl traveling with me did not listen too my advice and do this and took over an hour to get through customs)

    Also - make sure to go to the bank and get $5s and $1s for tips. Don't arrive with $20s unless you plan on tipping with $20s

    There are the pool parties Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as well!!

    We can always try designate a meeting spot there during the day.

    At Barcelo pretty much everyone hung out in the main "mall"

    For Dead & Co. CID seemed to set up evening activities down by the water (this is where I imagine the karaoke and sunrise yoga will be)

    We'll find out when we get our welcome packets anytime now!

    Thoughts on setting a meeting place for drinks Thursday night around 9pm? At Barcelo I would know exactly where to suggest... looking at the Palace Resorts app,

    There is both a pub ("The Pub") and Lobby Bar in Nicuz, which would be centrally located.
    Down to meet up thursday night!

    Curious to see how (where) the meet-ups / pool parties / events are planned seeing as the weekend's festivities are spread out over 3 resorts...

    We're staying at the Grand (Valentine's gift / pre-honeymoon, thought I'd splurge a little)-- anyone else at the Grand in here? Here's our proximity key: 38308GDDSAN

    The Barcelo was "5 resorts"... its a 10-25 minutes walk between properties.

    Being that the poolside shows are at Nicuz, I assume that pool will be the busiest and the lobby bar etc will be the most central meet up location.

    In the welcome packet they will outline other activities such as post-show karaoke, will will presumably be at Nicuz as well. Centrally located and 15 mins from any resort.

    There are tons of DMB people staying at the Grand and it sold out - so there will be fans everywhere.

    Yes, I'm down for a get together on Thursday night. The Pub sounds good, or really anywhere else. Just tell me where to go and i'll be there. Looking forward to finally meeting some of you after ALL. THESE. YEARS. I've been on the boards since 1998 and still haven't met a single person. This is going to be fun. I'll check back here for details on meetups! Btw, I think I'm at Sunrise.

    Hey! we're at the Grand as well! See you there! I'm interested to see how packed the pool is for the poolside shows. If it's like the pics from the Crash my playa thing I might just park my ass in the Grand pools.

    First timer here: That poolside concert looked awesome. We are staying at the Grand and concerned that since these resorts are all ages that pool concerts like that won’t be quite the same. Thoughts?

    Also, what app are you guys seeing where you are at??

    I’m actually not quite sure what to expect for this trip, and hope the stage set up is similar to what I’ve seen in videos from the past years.

    The Barcelo was all ages.
    I'm not understanding the concern.

    The poolside concerts will be awesome, only concern is they might be a little more crowded than years past because the pool is supposedly smaller and everyone is at the Moon Palace vs. multiple resorts.

    I started working on a recap video from last year but got tired last night.

    Photos from Dead & co, stage setup looked pretty similar. Maybe more narrow and deep.

    On the topic of pools, did anyone else think they were freezing at Barcelo? I’ve read that the south pool in Nizuc is heated, so if that’s accurate that would be cool.

    I’m interested on meetup info, I’ll keep looking for updates in our thread..

    Seems most people are Nizuc or Grand.

    Random things I'd be pumped to see on YT from this upcoming weekend:

    * Pretty much anything off Some Devil
    * JTR, Cry Freedom, Dreaming Tree or Spoon
    * Anything new
    * Anything with Amos Lee
