Kara you have such a way with words
What can I say? It's a gift.....
Kara you have such a way with words
(I heard on our cruise that one of the Disney buses arrived so late from WDW that they all missed lunch).
WTH?!?! Why did I not know about the new TR, lady?! How did I miss it. You know what made me think to even look and check....we went to Senoritas in Clark for dinner tonight and I thought of you! Then my next thought was, I wonder if she started the TR from the October trip...and what do you know, YOU DID!! Haven't read any of it yet but I'll be sure to comment on everything I've missed so far.....
Hi Nikki! I just watched your videos - loved them!
Oh no the limo driver ran away with your laptop didn't he?
The ship looks amazing!!!!
I hope your driver didn't leave with your computer!!!!!!
Terri
Just got all caught up and I must say.... I'm so excited I think I might pee.....
Kara you have such a way with words
Ellen I am soooo hoping 2012 is a Free Cruise !!!
So if I do all that AND mention I'm Canadian does the $$ go up?!
Probably- although once he hears you're French, he might hate you, too- so I can't say for sure!
Was Pods doing hair no evil?
Love that!!
That guy is SO jealous cause he knew what you were up to.
Do your boys know you posted that tub pic?! Blackmail material.
Sorry that breakfast and the limo ride weren't all that great.
Great shots of the port and all the ships! Hope lunch was better than breakfast. Can't wait to read more!
love the bathing beauties! It's fun when they still have those childhood moments as they move in to "too cool for school."
Too bad your breakfast and ride didn't start your day out Magically.
I'm worried about the computer - sounds like it was sitting in the parking lot
I sure hope you have your laptop, but I'm fearing the worst.
OH NO did the limo drivers not say goodbye cuz he thought he got the greatest tip ever a free laptop????
Love seeing pics of the ship as you came over the freeway hump. that even gives me chills.
Lanyards oh how cool that it says your bracket.. "silver" maybe someday we will get a castaway club member gift
Cant wait to read more!
I am so loving reading your TR. I have never done one for any of our trips but after reading yours(so far) I am really tempted to have a go at our dream trip on the Disney Dream's MV(1 month 1 week and 1 day to go!)
Look forwrad to readiong more

That would be us. Our bus did not even pick us up until 12:00 o'clock. We then had to load everyone, go to Caribbean Beach, load everyone there and then we finally headed to the Port. We did not get on board until well after 2:00 p.m. We had no time to get lunch before our cruise meet, so we ended up just skipping that meal. Thankfully, we had gone to the breakfast buffet at Boma that morning, so no one was starving to death.
Next time, we will either be taking a limo if we do WDW first, or renting a car for a day if staying by the port.

I love it...I can just sit back and smile at all the since I know the story already!!!
I am loving your report....thanks so much for sharing!
love the photos...what is the deal with the silver lanyards BTW?
We headed to the Promenade Lounge for our 3pm meet. It is always so wonderful to put faces with DISsers!! I even met a couple of people who were on our last cruise that I had not met then. Jen was busy, of course, handing out her lanyards with the help of her family-
Before you knew it, it was time for the group pic-
My family is in the middle, right by Mickey- two of Jen's kids are there with us- which I thought was really great! Throughout the cruise, this was the family we spent the most time with, the boys all got along so well, as well as we girls. Anyway, this was a HUGE group of really nice people- we felt lucky to be a part of it.
We went back to the cabin to do a little unpacking before the Muster Drill.
Pods said, "Honey....where's the computer?"
Isn't this the worst? Well, not really...because it then became even worse.
I heard a lot of crying and screaming from a distance, getting closer....I turn around just as Pods comes up to the desk, with Timmy and Tyler- and Timmy is positively wailing. He says "WHERE DO I GO TO THE DOCTOR???? THE CABIN DOOR CLOSED ON MY SON"S HAND!!!!!"
I told you we had a black cloud hanging over us that day.
Well, after all that, we were all soooooooooooooooooo drained....just really, really wiped out. I mean, that was a LOT of bad stuff all at once!
Thanks for the pic! Looks like Crazy Line #1 had already died down. I've almost reached Crazy Line #2 on my TR (ToT)...LOL, you weren't there for Crazy Line #3, which was on the boat in Cayman.
One thing about Diser's.... man, we know how to queue!!!
We are so sad in a way that our next cruise is not on Disney. The cameraderie that the Dis brings is so special! (As much as they may try, Cruise Critic Meet & Mingle's don't hold a candle to a Dis Meet and Disers!)
And thanks for adopting my kids!! We were being bad parents over in the corner!
At least your end of the hall had it together. It was dinner before we had all of ours. Gah!
I have to say you did a fantastic job putting your worry about the computer behind you and enjoying the cruise. I know it was nagging you all along, wondering would you really get it back afterwards. I would have been an absolute mess! And for sure, it did get worse....
Poor guy, but what a trooper, by midweek he had totally forgotten about it, right?
Besides, how often do you get to take a picture like this?!!!!!
(Ron will probably add his comment on technique here, anytime he sees an xray he has to... rest assured it is coming )
Expensive picture though I'm sure, hopefully it didn't wipe out your entire OBC, though I suspect it might have. Next time try to buy your pics in Shutters instead, hmmm! (kidding!!!!! )
And yeah you've heard it from everyone before, but the Sailaway party on Deck 9, you've been to it before, you'll be at it again, how often do you experience Sailaway from the Medical Center?!?! Once in a lifetime experience, I tell ya! (mmmm...let's hope! Anyhoo.....)
It was a rough first day for you all!!!!
