I enjoyed reading about the cruise and look forward to the next part of your trip report.
Thanks!

Yeah for the beach club!!! Who doesn't love it there. And I see you got your tickets from C's private entrance without a hitch (from my girl's trip a couple years ago we started calling it Christine's private entrance in case you were wondering).
You certainly still have a nice long trip in front of you.
Claire looks thrilled to have tickets in hand.
Glad your disembarkation (is that what its' called) from the boat went off without a hitch!
Be back to read about AK!
We are going to have early dinner, as well. I know my son will get very restless. It is possible for one of us in the group to run him up to the kids clubs and then return to dinner, isn't it? That's what I'm hoping.
OK, I'm trying to play catch-up. I really should go catch up on my own trip report, but this seems easier.
I am happy you decided to join us again
LOVE Geoff's surprise. Totally awesome! What a wonderful family memory.
He looked fabulous
You guys ALL look great in your pirate gear. LOL at your Hook finger pose. And you wanna know how I could tell you were a pirate?
You shoot with a Canon!
Good thing I wasn't drinking anything when I read this, or I would have spit it out. That is so funny.
OK...... sorry........
I'm LOVING the flashback photo of Claire in the pirate costume. That's one of my all-time favorites. And now awesome is it that it matched her parents? It was just meant to be.
I always loved that costume and that picture too.
So sorry you got a photographer with attitude. That's awful. We had one at AK last time. I had blinked and asked her to take another shot and she lifted her camera up to about chest level and snapped it without looking. Totally obnoxious. I'm not sure how those sort manage to keep a Disney job!
I hate photographers like that. I mean it's their job ...and they are supposed to be making magic happen.
I just can't get over how grown up Claire looked in her First Communion dress. Just gorgeous. And you did a great job with those photos. And no problem at all loaning the petticoats. Every little girls needs some poof on her special day! Of course, I love big poofy skirts, but Katie likes to taunt me and say she's going with a mermaid style when she gets married. Just to spite me!
I still need to send those back. I have been slacking...actually really busy.
Thanks it helped make our day so special.
I'm glad you got to find the Outlook Lounge. Looks very secluded. How cool to have so many places on a ship that you can completely overlook them. Maybe it should be called the Overlook Lounge?
thats true, good name
LOL on the CM knowing your name. Did you have one of those new RFID wristbands? Or did you just go ahead with the fully implanted Disney chip? Or maybe the CM reads here?
I would probably one of the 1st ones they would test a chip on.
You really did have the BEST selection of towel critters.
Tell Claire my sparkly headband ears hurt too. And my hair also got tangled in the sparkles! But sometimes looking good hurts.
Beauty sometimes means suffering.
OK, I just need to say this. Claire looks STUNNING and so grown up in that sailor dress! JUST GORGEOUS!
Thanks.
Your cabin door looks so homey. I'd feel bad having to take it down too. I love decorating our window for Christmas at Disney and feel the same way when it has to all come down on that last night.
It is sad to take them down. It really means it close to time to leave.
I do know how hard it must have been to see the shows without taking pictures. I just don't know if I'd want to even go. Nothing like cutting my nose off to spite my face, huh?
It's hard and I wanted to sneak some, but I behaved.
How awesome that you had an immediate cure to your post-cruise blues........ more Disney!
I didn't realize it was that busy when you were there. I've heard it gets fairly busy during Jersey week, but I always figured it was at least manageable. But wow. This sounds worse than I expected.
The Beach Club lobby looks so different without being decorated for Christmas. I am glad that you got to see the Christmas decorations at Animal Kingdom.

I am happy you decided to join us again
It's nice to be caught up on SOMETHING again!
He looked fabulous
He sure did. Johnny Depp watch out!
Good thing I wasn't drinking anything when I read this, or I would have spit it out. That is so funny.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Captain Jack shared that with me at the Pirate & Princess Party right before trying to swipe my own Canon!
I always loved that costume and that picture too.
Definitely a classic!
I hate photographers like that. I mean it's their job ...and they are supposed to be making magic happen.
Really. If they don't want to be there, they should go work at McDonalds or something.
I still need to send those back. I have been slacking...actually really busy.
Thanks it helped make our day so special.
Not to worry. No rush here. Katie hasn't worn them in quite a while. And they don't need to make the rounds to any more parts of the country yet!
I would probably one of the 1st ones they would test a chip on.
I'd be right there with you!
Beauty sometimes means suffering.
Merely the price of beauty.
It is sad to take them down. It really means it close to time to leave.
You did it right though. Sandwiching the cruise in between stops in the parks sounds perfect.
It's hard and I wanted to sneak some, but I behaved.
Did you see anyone sneak out a camera? I'm not sure I could have behaved.
It was really busy. I was not happy about that at all. It started to lesson byt the time I left, but there were a lot more people than I expected. Ironically someone else who was there the same time said she thought it wasn't busy at all. She must've gone to the parks with the lessor crowds. LOL It al ldepends what you are used to and expect, but for me, this was one of hte busiest times I had ever gone and I have gone during some busy times.
Still, that sounds like more than choosing the wrong park. I'm guessing the ones saying it wasn't bad usually travel Christmas or Easter week.
I'm sorry you didn't love it. I'll let you know what I think after our stay there.
Beautiful pictures at the Beach Club and the AK.
Happy Mother's Day.
Gosh, I'm so behind! There is no way I can comment on everything I read, but do know that I enjoyed all of it.
I'm glad you got to the AK's Christmas tree. I think it's the prettiest of them all.
Isn't it great to be able to walk to a park, get your ticket, then walk back to your resort in such a short time?
Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day Jen!
Your really making me want one of those chocolate chip cookies you keep raving about
Packing up seems so sad but I bet the 7 more days of fun made it OK
That's great AK had their tree and decorations up! They must have heard you and Claire were coming and to get ready
I had to laugh at your dad's crocs at least they matched his pants. I had to get River crocs on our last trip because he forgot his tennis shoes and he loved them and wore them 7 days straight.
I hope you had a good Mother's Day!
I have a question on the tickets. What do you mean you can pick them up 3 days early? If you have 4 day tickets, does that mean you get 7 day tickets for the same price or do you pay the difference?
