Could the Dream Turn the Grump into a Believer? Charleston Update 10/13

Holy Cow! that was a mega update and tonight I am doing things in reverse. I looked at all your pictures NOW and then I am going to read through the whole update again when I am not so tired.

All I can say right now is.....

Great Souvies!

Wonderful pictures and the boys and the whole family!

Unbelievable looking food! WOW!

Be back tomorrow!
 
Michelle, you are really going to town missy!
AND
it's a good thing we are going back so soon, this is reliving the last dinner on the ship is making me sad...
 
That's one heck of an update. But I enjoyed every picture of it.

The food porn was fantastic as was the pix of the ship. I'm glad you didn't bump into that kid again....I think I would have lost my cool if I were in your place.

Shame that Don didn't want to re-book another cruise. I don't get that either. :sad2:


I love your souvenirs, especially the bag. :thumbsup2

I think you've definitely convinced me to go on a Disney cruise. I just have to work out when to fit it in. :rolleyes1

Great updates! I've heard really good things about Believe, but I wonder if that has anything to do with it being the "last night" show? Great family pics again!

IMO you were completely justified in getting another beach bag. Who can have too many of those? :rotfl:

Animators palette looks like a really cool place, and good for DS ordering off the adults menu! :thumbsup2

I'd love to do a cruise, and DH would probably agree to a cruise next summer (he's on the fence about WDW), but I don't know if I'm ready to give up park time with such a little girl.
 


I cannot believe this trip report is coming to an end:sad1:, nooooo. I have so enjoyed it! I told you before, that your boys remind me so much of mine. Especially in this last report with their docker pants on, looking so sharp and handsome.:thumbsup2. You do know that the one with the two of them in the port hole HAS to be your Christmas card this year, right?;) it was perfect of the two of them. Awesome report! And when you go to DW, can you let us know when you start your new report, here on this thread so we can follow? My son works at DW (behind the scenes), I'll have to show him a pic of your family to say hi if he sees you!:)
 
Great update. It's so getting me in the right mood for my holiday, this time next week we will be at the airport waiting to board. :goodvibes
 
Really enjoyed this last update. I've mostly been lurking but have been following each of your updates.

I had to laugh about your DH not believing you about the shorts. Why do husbands question us? Don't they know we read the Disboards faithfully? Usually my DH now just concedes that when it comes to Disney, I know what I'm talking about ;).

And too bad your boys wouldn't do the kids clubs. But I feel your pain, my kids didn't go on our RC cruise either :sad2:. But your pictures have so made me want to go on a Disney cruise. But my resister (DH) keeps saying no. I shouldn't complain, I am in the process of planning our CA trip and am booking four days in Disneyland (he knows we're going there, not just how long :)).

Anyway, just wanted to let you know I have been enjoying your TR and have a great trip to WDW (I'm jealous)!
 


Wow! Your last day sounds awesome! The pictures of your family on deck all dressed up are wonderful! They are just as good as the ship photographer pics!

I'm so glad to hear that you got to ride the AD.

We want to do the detective game too. Sounds like fun! About how long did it take?

I'm really sorry to hear that Don wouldn't rebook. I don't understand that either. if he liked it so much, what did you have to lose? You could've gotten a full refund if you changed your mind. :confused3 Sometimes you just can't figure men out.
 
Love the mega update Michelle! Glad you tried Palo brunch. I am hoping to get a spot for us. If I'm remembering correctly I think they only have brunch on sea days so you couldn't do it on Nassau day.

So, you're going to tease us with the fact that you did actually buy the D & B, but we still can't hear the story :)

Your server seems a bit highstrung to be working for DCL. I wonder how long he's been there. So glad you finally got a drink even though it took some work on your part.
 
I should probably take a page from your book and get some updating done LOL! I have seriously slacked off LOL!!!

Oh well...Loved your updates!! I really am anxious to get myself on a cruise ship!! That is going to be AWESOME!!

Glad you guys had the best time!!! What a way to go out with a bang!!!!
 
The shorts story is absolutely hilarious. Poor Don! :lmao:

I wonder why Don didn't want to book another cruise. Do you think it was the money aspect perhaps?

I would not be a fan of tipping the head server either. I like to give to those who deserve it.

I LOVE that picture of your boys in the window, with the ocean behind them. Do you have that framed? :)
 
All caught up and still in love with all of your photos. Enchanted Garden looks so beautiful.

Your boys take fantastic photos. I actually love that one of them from the dinner they had one their own. They looks like they are genuinely having an awesome time.

All of your meals look so good. So much better than what I have to eat today, that's for sure.

The Dream just looks gorgeous. You know I would have been in line with my daughter for those princesses you saw.
 
Michelle, it seems I missed several updates while we were at DW and in Marco.

First, let me comment that I love that DH helped DS make a "Mickey head" in the sand. There is room for hope yet.

Your pictures at Castaway Cay and your meals are so tempting (however, we've decided NOT to do the cruise in 2013 which you will read about further along in my TR).
 
The last day of vacation is always sad, but seems worse that last night on a cruise for some reason. :sad2:

I am excited to do the Detective Agency, but I promise to wait my turn & not push ahead of the kids.:rotfl:

Lovely Palo brunch but why oh why did Don not listen to you about the shorts? Like you hadn't done your research. :rolleyes1
 
Now I am caught up again.

All I can say is the last night sounds so sad. Oh My - maybe when I cruise I just better do a 7 night cruise to start. :rotfl:

The Believe show sounds amazing, but again - so sad because you are leaving.

Glad to know the boys had lots to do without even using the clubs.

Your entire cruise sounded so wonderful. sorry you did not get to rebook. That would have been so nice.

I am thinking about a cruise for Nick's HS graduation in 2013. :thumbsup2
 
Wow Michelle you have been one busy lady!

Love the Palo brunch pictures and Don should have just listened to you as then he wouldn't have had to go back and change! :laughing:

Yay on the shopping purchases! It's a shame that the keychain broke very quickly.

Oh no on it being time to pack :sad2: I am so looking forward to seeing pics of your new D&B bag.

Great show pics and I love the sunset photo :thumbsup2
 
All caught up.

It sounds like that last day is so bittersweet. It is so hard to go leave after a wonderful trip.

I enjoyed all the ship pictures and the detective agency mission looks really cute like Kim possible.
 
What a great update!!! I love what you included so fun! I can't wait for next week, and I am anxiously trying to get my dang TR on Vero DONE, too! I still have to get to Fort Wilderness and AKL!!!! LOL!! But I made headway with THREE posts so far on Vero, so come on over!!!! :thumbsup2

This time NEXT week we'll be where??!! I can't remember :rotfl: Talk about leading the blind around, Michelle, you are going to be busy with Me, Jen, Anita, etc!!! LOL!
 
Great Mega-update! I love your picture frame - I have the same one from WDW just without the cruise insignia. Our family portrait with Donald from Tusker House is displayed in it here in my living room! Hope you enjoy yours as much - and good luck selecting JUST ONE photo for it!:lmao:
 
All caught up! I love the picture of the boys in window, just a great picture! Your dinner looking amazing! I'm really ready to take a cruise!
