Down to WDW
Where are you going next wk for your fall trip?
Great meet photo! Your cute mom does seem so friendly, I bet she can talk to anyone, just like you!
The BCV really do have their own vibe. One of these days we'll have to venture away from AKV. I can really see how each resort has such a different feel. Michael wants SSR proper during our next trip for sure but the second half is up in the air.
Spice Road looks delicious!!! Grape leaves are one of my favorites and I agree the plates don't look small at all.
Bummer about the $250 not being applied.
Yayayayayayay for our DIS meet! That was such a fun way to end a trip (well, for me anyway ). I loved getting to meet you and your mom and I'm glad youe enjoyed your goodybag!
Your room is amazing! I feel like its been awhile since I've been in anything but a studio (even though I was in a 2BR last October) and I would just love to splurge on a 1BR. So nice!
So - cruise question - when Denny and I get off the dream next month we are getting picked up by our friends in Daytona. Realistically, what time will we get off the ship. Is is better just to wait until everyone disembarks or is there a certain system for doing it. We are just heading to Cocoa Beach, so its not like I'm in a rush.
There are several ways on approaching disembarkation. You can get off early if you want, as soon as the ship is cleared by customs, but you'll have to carry your bags off yourself and that is between 6:30-7:00. That is usually met by the least resistance as there will be relatively few people getting off at that time. If you wait to have breakfast in the main dining room you'll be off and through customs by 10:00 at the latest. You will have to wait in line and it could seem very hectic. The line moves steadily but they have to scan each and every passenger off the ship. You can also do the buffet breakfast and can probably be off by 9:00 if you have an early breakfast. They will start paging overhead to please disembark as soon as you can, but please don't be stressed by the announcements. Take your time if you want, they are not going to force you off the ship. Enjoy enjoy enjoy
Thanks for the info Pam! I doubt our friends are going to want to pick us up by 7am so perhaps its better for us to wait until later and just drag our feet a bit. I hate lines and stress. I guess there is no way around that.
I think that's the best idea to have a few days at WDW after the cruise. Especially since that last morning on the cruise is hectic and rushed. It's like BOOM vacation is over, everybody off the ship.
What a nice room at BCV! I really want to stay there one day. DH isn't that interested, but DM and I would love it.
So fun that you go to meet up with Cynthia and Mary Ellen!!! I would love to meet them one day. And your small plates at SRT look great!
Hopefully it won't be too cold in January, i'd love to visit that ice cream shop.
I love that your mom started off with Creme Brulee first!
That's too bad that the wait was long, but the meal looks like it made up for it!
You should have tried my paparrazing technique that I used at Disneyland even though it was a total fail
Score on all the fireworks!
I was amused that your mom started with dessert. I love the fireworks photos.
Corinna
Nice dinner! Fran will start with dessert at buffets. I just can't do sweet before savory. It messes up my palate. Nice how you caught fireworks on three fronts! I love the giant Jacuzzi tubs too. That's one reason we always get the one bedrooms!
Score on the amazing fireworks! How lucky! Love those pics!
When we were at SAB in March (on an overcast day with no one around) it also looked like all the chairs were in use. You're right - people are lazy.
Dinner looks delish!
Boo on the DVD not working. Cynthia and I never figured out how to use ours at OKW. I am clueless when it comes to those things. I rely totally on Denny.
Looking forward to your last full day!
