Fabulous news Jen!!!!

Don't worry, I suck at named too.

Amy, happy happy birthday!!!!!

We made it to mco. Kids are tucked away in room. I am at macaroni grill picking up dinner and sneaking glass of wine. Managed to get it all done at 11 th hour. Went to airport with wet hair and zero makeup but got on flight.

Will try to get first shuttle to port. Kai will have buzz cut (Joni's fault) and an "I'm with goofy" shirt on. Hopefully I will have makeup on!

See y'all soon!!!!

A rocket launch! Was that your surprise? Tomorrow's gonna be a long one but think it will be worth it!
Just passed jacksonville, we too decided for the "long way w/ no tolls" as it only added 8 minutes and takes us along the coast.

NOPE! Not my surprise! Can't say it yet...but John knows and met with the guy who knows the surprise!

John, GREAT meeting you and PAM at Fishlips today!!! And HEY hubby talked!!! He said he is more than happy to talk food with you!!! See ya ONBOARD TOMORROW!!

Mati-

Glad you made it even if it was without make-up! Enjoy that glass of wine and the Macaroni Grill dinner I'll keep an eye out for you. Mom and I will have a green and orange shirt with little tropical bead designs on so if you see us come say hello to Amy (Me) and my Mom (Angela)

We pulled everything together and managed to finish our packing

We loaded the bags into the car which is parked in our garage and its ready to go! Unfortunately it was questionable if they would all fit in the car and leave room for us but it worked out Mom won't have to ride on the hood of the car

We are hoping to pull out of the garage by 9:15 or 9:30 the latest and will head over towards Cocoa to grab breakfast while we wait for our port check in time. Mom will drop the luggage and me at the terminal and she'll go with the car to the Park n Cruise. She'll come back on the shuttle and then we will check in at the port together.

I hope we haven't forgotten something important but hopefully we have everything.

Now I have to figure out how to possibly get enough or any sleep tonight!!

See you all tomorrow its finally here!

Well...no rocket launch today... scrubbede it at the last second....oh well!

Hey, I know what we are going to do today.... LETS GO ON OUR DISNEY FANTASY CRUISE!!! Who's with me?!?!

My surprise...since it's now been posted on the site, I am sure it's ok to say...I was asked by Lou from PTZTV (Port Canaveral webcam) not to say anything until it was up and running, but watching it now, and yeah it's up and running.....

WE ARE GOING TO BE THE FIRST DISNEY CRUISE ON THE PORT CANAVERAL WEBCAM TO HAVE SOUND!!!

We and John met with Lou at Fishlips yesterday. He gave us a banner to hold on sail-a-way...we (and who ever wants to stand by us and the banner) are going to be on the webcam a lot and he is also going to get some really good still photos of us!! Plus everyone watching at home, will finally be able to hear those beautiful horns!

John- We were there. I'm pretty sure we saw Jayme. I tried to pull up some pics and compare but couldn't find Jayme's blog. We were up on the top deck. I'm sure everyone kept hearing us say Nicholas a thousand times. Plus the bonus was when he got seagull goo on him.

See everyone soon.

Awesome!!! How Exciting!! We will be there for the sail-away. When we meet at 3pm can you please remind me where we need to meet you in order to be near the banner?

Awww poor Nicholas! *holds back a snicker* I feel for him since when we were Epcot the first week in May I got hit by a birds ummm droppings.




We are up and dressed and I already made a Dunkin Donuts run and we are just doing last minute preparations and we will be hitting the road and heading over to the Coast.

It's finally here! Can't wait to be in the terminal all checked in and waiting to board it might look like this with all of us waiting to board but that is ok since that makes it more fun!

I did see a post by Deb Wills that there are only 125 people sailing in her group. I was picturing a huge mob like they used to have at what is the now defunked December Gathering (the original meet name has been asked not to be used but it Rhymes with Mouse Pest )

Well this will be my last post before we leave so enjoy those last cups of coffee and breakfast and just think we will be setting sail before we know it!

Waiting in hotel till it's time to grab shuttle to port and check in! We can't wait, especially DD who is dancing around the room with her stitch stuffed animal. All driving drive safe and see you all on deck!!

 

[bookite]

In line to board!

 

[udflyer00]

i just watched the Fantasy sail out of port, but didn't see any banner?? I saw a Candadian flag?? Looks like a windy, but beautiful day!! Have a safe trip Dis'ers and I can't wait to read your trip reports when you return!!

 

[JohnPA]

What's that outside my veranda? It's the terminal! We're back!

Oh well 6 days at WDW should help. It's 6:47am. I'll write more in a bit. GREAT to meet you all!

 

[LivingtheWDWdream]

What an AMAZING cruise we had! The weather was great for the most part and we had a great time in the adult spaces, fantastic food in Palo, good food in the dining rooms, and the Aquaduck was so much fun. The Fantasy is beautiful and I was completely bummed to have had to get off of her this morning.

We were home by 9:30am and we have been unpacking, doing laundry, and did our grocery shopping. Now to relax the rest of the holiday weekend and catch up on sleep since we didn't do much in terms of sleeping on the ship so we didn't miss anything!

Hope everyone has safe travels to WDW, or home where ever they were heading after the cruise. Hope everyone had a good time and can't wait to see everyone's photos of our meet and any they care to share!

I am typing this from a studio at the Villas at the Wilderness Lodge. DH has passed out on the bed. We got to the resort at 9:30AM but our room was not ready so we went to the MK, it was a madhouse. We stayed for the parade.
DH is now taking a nap.
The cruise was wonderful. We had a great time. We were part of the
AllEars Group of 120 folks from all over the country. We had a blast. I hope some of you got to meet the All Ears, Mouse Fan Travel staff.
This 66 year old lady went on the AquaDuck 4 times. I'm not afraid.
Our starboard side cat 7A veranda on deck 7 was nice. I like the obstructed verandah.
One negative was that I was stung by a Bee on deck 13 while in the sun. I got scared since I have never been stung before. The sucker swelled up so I went to the medical center. They were closed so the nurse came down and sold me some benedryl and 1% cortizone. It cost $6 for the lot, but today the swelling and redness is down. Not a fun experience.
Again we had a blast celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary with 120 close friends.

Michele:

We're at VWL in a studio too. We just woke up from our nap. Met up with a couple of other cruisers at Downtown Disney for some Wolfgang Puck Express pizzas. Just hanging out tonight. Check your Private Messages.
STILL celebrating our 32nd Anniversary.
