Oh my I got 13 pages behind!

What a wonderful trip. I do hope when you get your necklace that you post a picture for all of us to see.

The castaway cay shots are gorgeous. I sure wish I was there right now.

I really enjoyed virtually sailing with you. You write excellent reports!

Thanks so much for reading. And thank you for the compliments

I'll definitely post a picture of the necklace. I'm getting impatient now, I was hoping it would arrive before we leave. There's still this week though, it could still come.

Great TR Pam! I can't wait to hear about the Fantasy. We are planning to book another cruise on our cruise and after seeing your CC pictures, I'm now leaning toward the Wonder double dip cruise!

How was that show?! Ugh, i'm still debating about what to do! So funny that you're going! MY SIL is going that Wednesday (is that 27th?!) with her mom and she's the one that told me about the show. I thought it was still the Lion King. If it was the Lion King, I would have chosen that in a heartbeat because DH would have enjoyed that. I'm not sure he'll like this...

Pam! Where's the counter for your CA trip? I was looking for the dates and didn't want to have to troll back through your report!

Jekyll and Hyde was good, but tragic. I don't like tragic shows.

We are going Wednesday the 27th. Lion King has been gone for years!!!! We have seen quite a few shows at the Pantages since the Lion King came and went, but that was the big one that Disney refurbished the theatre for. It is so grand, if you haven't been, it is a beautiful theater! Now that Fran is feeling better we saw Book of Mormon, Jekyll and Hyde and we have tickets for Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Catch Me if You Can and Beauty and the Beast. We've also seen Hairspray, Lion King and at least several others there that escape me now.

Wow you've been to quite a few!

I saw the Lion King back in 2000 or 2001 for my choir trip in high school. Was that when it was refurbished or has it been refurbished since then? The show was amazing, and I think i'd appreciate it more now and i'm positive DH would love it too.

Disney refurbished the theater for the opening of the Lion King. We saw it there and not only was the production amazing, but seeing the theater brought back to it's original glory was also really cool. I always am amazed at the theater itself when we go there. It is just stunning, the copper and other sculptures are just divine!

It is very cool that then Pantages is back as a major Hollywood Landmark and lots of amazing shows play there on a regular basis. I'm so glad that Fran is feeling better and we get to go back there a lot and see some great shows, it's really fun!

All caught up Pam. I really enjoyed reading about this cruise. It really looked lovely and I'm so glad you had your own private deck to hang out on. that was too perfect.

I love all the pictures of CC, especially the ones from the boat. Just gorgeous.

So glad it was the perfect cruise with no post cruise blues.

And according to your ticker it looks like you are all set to cruise again. You lucky girl. Can't wait to read all about that one, too!

Unfortunately, I was a stupid high schooler who didn't appreciate amazing details, so I probably didn't even notice. I think I would treasure it now more as an adult.

They're also showing the West Side Story. Will you be seeing that too? I was actually looking at that show also, because i've been trying to get DH to see that for years and I think it would be really cool to see it in this way

Thanks so much for following along. I can't wait for this day to be over and I'm officially on vacation. This week has been a doozy!

Did you decide which cruise to book? I loved the two stops at CC on the first cruise. I would definitely book that itinerary again.

I've been so busy I have hardly checked the Dis this week. I'm so behind on everything. I've found that having more than two tickers makes my signature hard to figure out when I'm changing anything. I'll put one up for CA when I'm back from this trip. Dates are 9/3-9/9.

Thanks so much for reading along just wait and see our actual private deck on the Fantasy! I'm so excited we leave tomorrow for one day a VWL and then the cruise starts Saturday. I still have to pack.

I have discovered the only cure for post trip blues is to already have another trip booked
