OMG! That was hilarious!!!

We were standing near the front of the line to go into Animators Pallette. Chris walked through the line heading to the restroom, with Linda trailing behind. They didn't see us standing there and walked on by. I yelled out at Linda "hey, NO cutting in Line!" Linda never even looked back and kept on walking. When we were sitting at dinner, I said, Geez, we were standing in line for dinner and someone cut in line and I smiled. Linda looked up and said, "was that you? I told Chris, someone is yelling at us for cutting in line and he told me, don't worry about it. They,re just jerks."

Hi everyone. I hope you enjoy the trippie. BTW... I'm the better half of this relationship.

Doesnt take much to make us happy.

We were laughing the whole time. New pillows have always been a sore topic in our house. No matter where we buy them, we're just not happy with them. We must have 10 different pillows in our condo... and there's only 2 of us living there.

I told Mike, "these pillows are perfect!! I don't care if they cost $100 a piece, we're gonna get these!" So we started stripping the pillow cases, looking for the tags.

More time to relax before dinner I guess!

Subbing in!!!

Well the story i kept hearing was "oh we must dine late so we can see the sunsets", but on our last 7 night cruise i dont thing we saw 1 sunset??

Yep! They still had vanilla!
We took pictures of the banana because Chuck liked it on our previous cruise.

DEC 4th

Castaway Cay Day!!!!

We had another day in paradise!! It was a little cloudy early but it cleared up nicely.

[Dyerneeds]

2 of our tablemates, Jill and Bob, had invited us to check out their private cabana so we decided to see how the other 1/2 lives. I think she said it cost $400 or so! Robin married the wrong guy if she wanted to live that kind of life....Of course she may say she married the wrong guy anyway.

Robin finds a friend on the beach.
Not sure why she closed her eyes?? Perhaps she was making a wish i'd disappear!



easy girls..Underdogs married!




On to Cookies BBQ at the adult beach..They had a a rib eye steak so was SOOOOO good! For dessert i had to make myself another ice cream cookie sandwich..hey its better than paying $5 for one at the parks!

Tonight we would be dining in Enchanted Garden.
Disney really did an AMAZING JOB with the restraunts on the Dream!!



We usually dine with dis friends and its all preplanned but this cruise was kind of "late planned" (for us anyway)..so we wernt really sure who we'd be assigned to dine with and were a little nervous about letting people into our "bubble"..But i must say Disney did a great job of matching us up with 2 other couples.
Hope they dont mind that i'm posting this pic from AP later in the cruise.
Chris and Linda, Jill and Bob and Mike and Robin.

I'm usually the picky eater between the 2 of us, but when it comes to cruises i'm easy..Give me a steak and fries every night of the cruise and i'll be fine. Robin has been having more trouble lately because she's allergic to shrimp and some of the choices wernt appealing to her anyway, but we really dont cruise for the fancy foods anyway.

We had previously decided to just skip most of the shows and instead take the time to explore the Dream.. and thats what we did!










After a long and exciting day..we finally crashed around midnite.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I find myself suddenly wanting to go to the restroom....on DCL of course. Tended to overlook them in the past.

By the way, how do you go about requesting seating with Dis friends that you know will be on a cruise?

Cheers and thanks for the TR,

Yay! Another trip report!

Did you find that the cruise was too short, that you were just getting settled and they booted you off?

well thats a good question...we have been fortunate in that since 2005 we've been doing a 7 night cruise every 2 years..so the 4 day cruises have been kind of a "DCL fix" for us to get us to the next 7 nighter...
When we did our 1st couple cruises in 2001 and 2002 we did the 4 day and we did complain about how it was just too fast!!
Thats when we started looking into cruising prices more and noticed we could do a 7 day in offseason for nearly the price of a 4 day in peak season. (as long as you dont mind rolling the dice and cruise during late hurricane season)

well Cass can answer that question better than i can..Oh Cass.

But as i recall someone from our group contacted DCL with all the names of everyone that would be in our group and they linked us together.
One cruise we had a dis group of nearly an entire wing of the restaurants.
